Directory         1.     Andreas Musolff , Call: Continuum Critical Introductions to Ling Message 1: Call: Continuum Critical Introductions to Ling Date: 30-Jan-2012 From: Andreas Musolff <a.musolffuea.ac.uk> Subject: Call: Continuum Critical Introductions to Ling E-mail this message to a friend Submissions of book proposals are invited for the ''Continuum Critical Introductions to Linguistics'' series, which is committed to providing original introductions to core areas in linguistics that give accessible overviews from a critical perspective. They present key issues and methods of the given area and demonstrate their application to empirical language data, as well as highlighting underlying theoretical assumptions and new research perspectives, and reflecting them critically, in the tradition of Roger Fowler’s Critical Linguistics approach. The series is targeted at academics and advanced undergraduate students and postgraduate students in applied linguistics. Particular emphasis is put on analyzing examples from language use in the real world, as well as from a wide variety of languages, with a view to comparative cross- and inter-cultural observations. Theoretical and methodological disputes in the relevant research fields are considered primarily in relation to their contribution to solving descriptive and explanative issues arising from the data, rather than being assessed on theory-internal grounds. On the other hand, the contributions to the series strive to relate the respective research traditions to general questions about the epistemological status and the socio-cultural function of linguistics. Areas covered include not only systemic linguistic domains of phonology, syntax and semantics but also more applied and open- ended fields such as discourse types, cross-cultural pragmatics dimensions and translation concerns. In particular, we are inviting book proposals in the following areas: Applied Linguistics Computational Linguistics Corpus Linguistics Conversation Analysis Discourse Analysis Forensic Linguistics History of Linguistics Intercultural Pragmatics Language and Education Language and Gender Language of Advertising Media Discourse Multimodal Discourse Analysis Politeness Studies Pragmatics Psycholinguistics Relevance Theory Semantics Stylistics Sociolinguistics Subtitling Existing titles: Boase-Beier, Jean (2011) A Critical Introduction to Translation Studies.
