Introducing Sociolinguistics
Edited by Rajend Mesthrie, University of Cape Town, Joan Swann, the Open University, Ana Deumert, University of Cape Town & William Leap, the American University, Washington DC Provides a solid foundation in all aspects of sociolinguistics The coverage is impressive in its richness of detail and range of studies Mesthrie, Swann, Deumert and Leap have produced an excellent coursebook. Journal of Sociolingusitics The second edition of this popular textbook expertly synthesises the main approaches to sociolinguistics. Written with the beginner in mind, it provides a broad introduction covering areas such as multilingualism, code-choice, language variation, dialectology, interactional studies, gender, language contact, language and inequality, and language and power. Illustrated with maps, diagrams, inset boxes, drawings and cartoons Uses numerous examples from multilingual settings Includes a glossary, suggestions for further reading, a full bibliography, and a section on next steps 2009 o 528pp 96 b&w illustrations Pb o 978 0 7486 3844 4 o 19.99 Hb o 978 0 7486 3843 7 o 80.00
Morphology
Martin Weisser, Chemnitz University of Technology An ideal starting point for linguists approaching computer programming for the first time Practical examples are designed to help the reader to identify basic issues in handling language data, conduct simple analyses in morphology/ morphosyntax and phonotactics, create frequency lists from corpus materials, to gather basic descriptive statistics on texts, and to design graphical user interfaces for writing more efficient and easy-to-use analysis tools. Two different types of exercise help readers to either to learn interpret and understand illustrative sample code, or to develop algorithmic thinking and solution strategies through turning a series of instructions into sample programs. 2009 o 192pp o t o e Pb o 978 0 7486 3856 7 o 19.99 Hb o 978 0 7486 3855 0 o 80.00
Antonio Fbregas, University of Troms & Sergio Scalise, University of Bologna A detailed discussion of morphology for intermediate and advanced students Tackling theoretical approaches to morphology including Construction Grammar and the Minimalist Program, this book moves away from the concentration on units found in introductory textbooks to focus on more in-depth examinations of processes and phenomena. Each chapter covers the main concepts through example data, before discussing the pros and cons of the approach.

Sociolinguistics
Edinburgh Sociolinguistics
NEW
Series Editors: Joan Swann, the Open University & Paul Kerswill, Lancaster University Designed for second or third year undergraduates, this series covers the core topics within sociolinguistics. Volumes are discursive, accessibly written and alert to developments in the field, offering a critical overview as well as insights derived from the authors own research. Praise for the series: Certainly the greatest achievement of [Sociolinguistics and Corpus Linguistics] is that it brings down barriers between linguistic approaches; the book clearly shows how CL and SL can learn from each other by improving their methods, re-evaluating findings and finally being able to better position themselves within linguistics.

Linguistic Theory in Practice
An Introduction to Multilinguism
Melinda Whong, University of Leeds A linguistics-based perspective on language teaching How does the study of language impact upon English Language Training (ELT)? Where do theory and practise meet? This textbook will demonstrate how language theories can impact upon second language teaching. Written by an experienced ELT lecturer, the study begins with a brief historical survey of the different ways in which language has been viewed, highlighting implications for language teaching. Current linguistic approaches are then described formal, functional and cognitive and how these perspectives translate into classroom practise from the heart of the text. The book then explores wellknown language teaching methods, looking at the extent to which theory can be seen to manifest itself in each approach respectively. It concludes with very practical aspects of teaching, presenting and then deconstructing a sample lesson plan to show how understanding of theory can influence even the most practical aspects of classroom teaching. This is the first textbook to provide a linguisticsbased perspective on language teaching and will be a valuable resource to professional language teachers, student and academics alike.

Philosophy of Language
Creating Worldviews
Metaphor, Ideology and Language
James W. Underhill, Stendhal University, Grenoble Explores metaphor theory in the work of contemporary European scholars Encouraging readers to reflect upon language and the role metaphor plays in patterning ideas and thought, this book first offers a critical introduction to metaphor theory as it has emerged over the past thirty years in the States. James W. Underhill then widens the scope of metaphor theory by investigating not only the worldview our language offers us, but also the worldviews which we adapt in our own ideological and personal interpretations of the world. Detailed case studies investigate the ways the Czech language was reshaped by communist discourse, and the way fascism emerged in the German language. The third case study turns metaphor theory on its head: instead of looking for metaphors in language, it describes the way language systems (French & English) are understood in terms of metaphorically-framed concepts evolving over time.

In the past one hundred years there has been no more influential and divisive reading of Ferdinand de Saussures Course in General Linguistics than that of Jacques Derrida. Despite the importance of Derridas critique of Saussure for cultural studies, philosophy, linguistics and literary theory, no comprehensive analysis has been written. This book is an examination of Derridas philosophical reconstruction of Saussurean linguistics, of the paradigm shift from structuralism to post-structuralism, and of the consequences that continue to resonate in every field of the humanities today.

Corpus Linguistics
Edinburgh Textbooks in Empirical Linguistics
Series Editors: Tony McEnery & Andrew Wilson This series offers accessible introductions for students coming to empirical linguistics for the first time. These books provide clearly written introductions which encourage the practical use of empirical data through specially designed individual and class exercises. Praise for the series: [Corpus Linguistics] is attractively and well written, explaining complex issues clearly and succintly, and making effective use of illustrative diagrams, tables, and examples. Literary and Linguistic Computing Well illustrated [Language and Computers] is book contains much good practical advice for students. International Journal of Corpus Linguistics This book is essential for learning statistical analysis of texts. Most importantly, Oakess is the only current corpus-linguistic book that devotes such a large portion of its pages to stylistics. Language and Literature [The BNC Handbook] provides valuable informationon the operation of SARA. Its instructions are clear, the tasks set the reader are natural and wide-ranging, and the skills it seeks to inculcate make full use of the potentiality of corpus study.
