The basic premise of the volume under review is that multilingualism is widespread and “normal” among many human speech communities and constitutes a field worthy of research in its own right, distinct from but related to bilingualism. This stance is reminiscent of the earlier work of Stavans and Hoffman (2015), which stresses that http://linguistlist.org/issues/32/32-1390.html http://linguistlist.org/issues/32/32-1390.html 2021-04-20T21:04:06Z SUMMARY After a general introduction, the book, made up of 35 chapters, is divided into five great parts. The first part is devoted to phonology. It is divided into eight chapters. The first one deals with “Phonological Processes in Germanic languages” (Tracy Allan Hall, p. 11-32). The following four form a consistent whole, concerned respectively with syllable structure (Marc van Oostendorp, p. 33-48), foot structure (Laura Catharine Smith, p. 49-72), word stress (Birgit Alber, p. 73-96) http://linguistlist.org/issues/32/32-1389.html http://linguistlist.org/issues/32/32-1389.html 2021-04-20T21:04:06Z Call for Papers: We invite language teachers, teacher trainers, educators, who are interested in mediation, mediation activities and strategies, multilingualism, innovative tasks in language education, technology-mediated teaching tools, and good practices in language learning.

In this fascinating book, Evangelia Adamou widens the net by integrating advances in the field of bilingualism with the study of endangered languages. Drawing on recent studies from Europe and Latin America, she demonstrates that experimental psycholinguistic methods can be successfully applied outside the lab and, conversely, how data from these understudied populatio http://linguistlist.org/issues/32/32-1380.html http://linguistlist.org/issues/32/32-1380.html 2021-04-20T21:04:06Z This monograph offers an innovative understanding of the mechanisms involved in Romance ‘optional’ wh-in situ. New supporting evidence in favour of Cable’s (2010) Grammar of Q is presented, as well as novel implementations of his original theory. In particular, it is claimed that wh-in situ idioms are characterised not only by language-specific choices between Q-projection and Q-adjunction, and between overt and covert movement of Q, but also in terms of the locus where they check the features r http://linguistlist.org/issues/32/32-1379.html http://linguistlist.org/issues/32/32-1379.html 2021-04-20T21:04:06Z Stress and accent are central, organizing features of grammar, but their precise nature continues to be a source of mystery and wonder. These issues come to the forefront in the phonetic manifestation of stress and accent, their cross-linguistic variation and the subtle and intricate laws they obey in individual languages. Understanding the nature of stress and accent systems informs all aspects of linguistic theory, methods, typology and especially the grammatical analysis of language data.

The special issue focuses both on the development of methods in documentation, analysis and visualization of linguistic landscapes and theories/results stemming from these methodologies. To date, research on linguistic landscapes has mainly focused on multilingual and multiethnic urban areas. Hence, we particularly wel http://linguistlist.org/issues/32/32-1374.html http://linguistlist.org/issues/32/32-1374.html 2021-04-20T21:04:06Z We are planning to edit a special issue (SI) of the journal “Languages” on Greek morphosyntax under the (working) title: ‘New glances at the morphosyntax of Greek’. We invite you to contribute to our SI with submissions on any topic of Greek (Standard or varieties of it) which is subject to either a morphological, a syntactic or a morphosyntactic analysis. Although the theoretical perspective will be the central one of the volume, experimental, as well as contributions on second language morp http://linguistlist.org/issues/32/32-1373.html http://linguistlist.org/issues/32/32-1373.html 2021-04-20T21:04:06Z DEADLINE APPROACHING ''Inclusive theatre-making: translation, accessibility and beyond'' Special issue of inTRAlinea Guest edited by Elena Di Giovanni and Francesca Raffi elena.digiovanni@unimc.it, francesca.raffi@unimc.it Since the rise of media accessibility studies within audiovisual translation, early into this new millennium, a constant growth of interdisciplinary projects and publications has been recorded, bearing witness to the relevance and potential of such a new research avenue.

The aims are to “explor[e] the ways in which patterns of complex syntax – that is, syntactic structures beyond a simple clause – relate to the local contingencies of action formation in social interaction, and how they are tied to participants’ nonverbal (proso
