Gestures are integral to spoken language. However, much of modern linguistic enquiry has been based on analyses of language as text. This book is situated in the turn towards face-to-face interaction as the primary source of linguistic data. Taking a cognitive and usage-based approach, it provides data-driven investigations of the conventions of spontaneous conversation, going beyond linguistic features of utterances to include manual gestures, head movements, shoulder shrugs, postural shifts, e
SUMMARY
In The Discursive Construction of Veganism: An Ecolinguistics Approach, Mario Leto offers both an academic analysis of the discursive representations of veganism and a practical toolkit for vegan advocacy. Published in 2026 as part of the Bloomsbury Advances in Ecolinguistics series, the book draws on critical discourse analysis (CDA), ecolinguistics, and positive discourse analysis (PDA) to examine how veganism is constructed, challenged, and defended across a range of media.

The Second Workshop on Replication in the Language Sciences (WoReLa 2) focuses on building cumulative knowledge in linguistics through reproducible, robust, and replicable research findings. Building on the success of WoReLa 1 in Frankfurt, this second workshop aims to further our understanding of the factors that contribute to (a lack of) replicability in the language sciences, and to identify effective strategies to improve how linguistic research is conducted. For WoReLa 2

Workshop Description:
Clitic pronouns and agreement markers are traditionally treated as distinct elements of grammar: clitics as (deficient) pronouns, agreement as a purely morphological reflex of syntactic relations. However, a growing body of work has pointed to systematic similarities between them, raising the question of whether

Workshop Description:
Object marking has long been central to debates about the nature of agreement and clitic doubling. While traditionally treated as distinct phenomena, a growing body of work has shown that the empirical picture is more complex and that the distinction is often difficult to maintain (Jaeggli 1982; Borer 1984; Sportiche 1996; Roberts 2010; Kramer 2012; Zel

Information Structure (IS) is a broad domain of linguistic inquiry, addressing how speakers organize and present information in discourse. Crucially, languages employ a wide range of strategies across (morpho)syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and prosody to package information
More than two decades ago, Michael Erard, a linguist and writer, set out to marry the linguist鈥檚 fascination with language to the journalist鈥檚 fascination with story. Could he go beyond the usual cliches and engage with language where and how it鈥檚 actually used and studied?
In journalism, a "beat" is an area or topic to which a journalist brings their expertise. "The Language Beat: Essays and Reporting on Language and Life" collects 42 of Erard鈥檚 long-form features, reports, essays and review

Yapen Island in Cenderawasih Bay, Indonesia, is home to a small group of closely related Papuan languages: the Yawa-Saweru languages. Up until now, the Yawa-Saweru languages have remained largely undescribed and there is no scholarly consensus on the genetic affiliations of the family. Even though multiple attempts at establishing genetic relationships have been made, such hypotheses cannot be properly evaluated without detailed descriptions of the language family and rigorous bottom-up reconstr
