SUMMARY The central argument of this book is that closer collaboration between linguistics and second language (L2) teaching and learning can improve both language teaching practices and linguistic research. The authors make this case through concrete examples, including case studies, classroom activities, research findings, and real-world experiences, that demonstrate how linguistic methods enhance teaching effectiveness. Importantly, the book frames this relationship as mutually beneficial:

Natural languages make extensive use of approximative expressions: forms that describe an event, state or situation as being close to a threshold, a goal or an expected outcome, without necessarily reaching it. This domain includes scalar approximators such as almost, nearly, barely and hardly, as well as constructions expressing near-attainment, near-avoidance, unrealized outcomes or frustrated expectations, including be about to, be on the verge of, come close to, try to and attempt to, especi

The University of Granada is pleased to announce the 1st International Conference "Nabokov in Spain", which will take place on October 1st and 2nd, 2026. The main objective of this scientific meeting is to bring together researchers, academics, and specialists to analyze, debate, and delve into the figure of Vladimir Nabokov. Special emphasis will be placed on his reception, translation, influence, and cultural ties within the Hispanic world, alongside other contemporary lines of study regarding

This descriptive contrastive grammar systematically analyzes Japanese and Bengali (Bengali)—two typologically distinct languages belonging to the Japonic and Indo Aryan families. The study is organized into ten parts. Part?1 establishes the theoretical and methodological foundations of contrastive linguistics and corpus analysis. Part?2 compares phonology, phonetics, and writing systems, focusing on mora timing vs. syllable timing, pitch accent vs. stress accent, and the Japanese mixed script vs

The Brahui language, spoken by some 1,5 million people in Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan, is the earliest offshoot of the Dravidian stock. Isolated from the kindred languages for several thousand years, it combines ancient features inherited from the Proto-Dravidian ancestor with numerous borrowings from its Iranian and Indo-Aryan neighbours. Apart from a detailed practical grammar, illustrated with copious examples from Brahui texts, the book offers the latest comparative-historical informatio

Das Buch ist eine abgeschlossene Einführung in das Framework der Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar. In einem einführenden Kapitel wird der ?bergang von einfachen Phrasenstrukturgrammatiken zu den komplexeren Repr?sentationen mit Merkmalbeschreibungen motiviert. Das zweite Kapitel führt allgemein verst?ndlich in den Formalismus der Merkmalstrukturen ein. In den verbleibenden Kapiteln werden ph?nomenbezogen verschiedene Grammatikbereiche diskutiert, wobei die Analysen jeweils für das Deutsche a

A key challenge of studying the historical phonology of any language is how to reconstruct the pronunciation of periods before the availability of sound recording. Many studies of pre-twentieth-century pronunciation rely on sources that comment on how people spoke, or infer pronunciation from spelling variation or rhymes. This book is the ?rst to investigate the phonology of nineteenth-century English based on a new kind of written source material: it examines pronunciation evidence provided by

Thinking of and talking about future events is a crucial part of our everyday lives. Thus, it is not surprising that in the languages of the world, a variety of markers for future time reference has developed. The goal of this volume is to take a contrastive perspective on the evolution of future constructions by bringing together scholars working on different languages and language families. In doing so, the edited volume opens up new perspectives on long-standing questions regarding the diachr

This dissertation applies the theories and methods of Labovian sociolinguistics to phonetic variation in the small, diasporic minority-context Yiddish community. This community is delineated by usage of Yiddish despite it not being a widely-spoken language in their neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and other aspects of their daily lives. While community members are spread around the world, this study focuses on those in three cultural centers: Boston, Montreal, and New York City. In analyzing

Focus: Our course covers all the main aspects of English phonetics: - phonemic system (vowels and consonants) - segmental analysis (allophonic processes) - connected speech processes - sentence stress (tonicity, accentuation) - intonation (nuclear tones and prenuclear patterns)?? These topics are investigated both in lectures and in practical classes. Practical groups are kept small and are organised according to your prior knowledge of English and your English proficiency. The course co

The study of "inclusive language" in Spanish has been predominantly approached from disciplines such as sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and critical discourse analysis, and it has been understood as a social practice or as a space for identity construction. However, the description of these phenomena from the internal perspective of linguistics and formal grammar remains notably scarce. The main objective of this monographic panel is to bring together researchers from the field of Hispanic
