This book offers an analysis of the Japanese DP in line with the cartographic research program. It addresses theoretical linguists interested in nominal modification as well as scholars in the field of Japanese studies. The main results concern the identification of three domains, a DP-external domain, a domain for indirect modifiers and a domain for direct modifiers, with specific discussion on the latter two, and an account for the internal structure of nominal modifiers. On the one hand, this
Language landscapes is a practical map of English for TESL educators, built around form–meaning pairings and the needs of real classrooms. Adopting a CGEL-informed framework, it stabilizes the category – function distinction (e.g., determinatives vs determiner function), pares back overloaded labels (especially in the adverb/preposition space), and introduces syntax trees as a teacher’s analytic lens rather than a student exercise. Early chapters address standards and normativity alongside a usa
Much of human communication occurs while people are moving, exerting themselves, or otherwise not at rest, yet speech production in such contexts has received little systematic attention. Previous studies have typically addressed respiration, phonation, or articulation separately, making it difficult to characterize changes in speech production as a whole. This book presents a multi-level investigation of speech during controlled physical activity. Combining respiratory data, acoustic analysis,
?í bik'ehgo kééhwiit'??. 'In accord with that, we live.' So speaks a medicine man after recounting how the four sacred mountains were set in place to anchor the world of the Diné. To live in accord with something is to know where you stand, even when the ground shifts. And the ground shifted constantly across the late 19th and early 20th centuries: at Round Rock where armed men faced down U.S. cavalry; in the canyons where boys fled from bears; in the corrals from which sheep were driven away by

Microaggressions in Interaction
(Co-organised by Bernadette Vine and Janet Holmes)
The concept of microaggression (Pierce 1970) proves useful in exploring linguistic behavior that causes people to feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, or unappreciated. Microaggressions can be defined as any means by which a person is othered or sent signals that they do not fit or belong. This may be unintentional, and Stollznow (2020, p. 207) notes that these everyday, subtle “expressions of prejudice … are so per

People who create short videos for social media platforms like TikTok or Instagram communicate with their bodies. TikTok’s predecessor musical.ly started as an app for lip-sync and dance videos that confine creators’ expressive means to their bodily behaviour, and these genres are still popular on the platform today (Meier-Vieracker 2025). But even in original sound videos – often recorded as selfie videos – creators use their bodies in a variety of ways for their multimodal meaning-making. The
