The Continuity of Linguistic Change
The Continuity of Linguistic Change presents a collection of selected papers in honour of Professor Juan Andrés Villena-Ponsoda. The essays revolve around the study of linguistic variation and the mechanisms and processes associated with linguistic change, a field to which Villena-Ponsoda has dedicated so many years of research. The authors are researchers of renowned international prestige who have made significant contributions in this field. The chapters cover a range of related topics and provide modern theoretical and methodological perspectives, addressing the structural, cognitive, historical and social factors that underlie and promote linguistic change in varieties of Dutch, German, Greek, Italian, Spanish and Swedish. The reader will find contributions that explore topics such as phonology, acoustic phonetics and processes deriving from the contact between languages or linguistic varieties, specifically levelling, koineisation, standardisation and the emergence of ethnolects.
Focusing on Audiovisual Translation Research
The aim of this volume is to make a statement on the importance of research on Audiovisual Translation, both in its different varieties of production (dubbing, subtitling, surtitling, voice-over and e-learning) and in its relationship with language acquisition. On the whole, it is a merging of applied theory and practice, with a willingness to encourage a dialogue between scholars specialized in this field that may expand to other fields.
The Handbook of Dialectology

Each chapter reviews essential research, and offers a critical discussion of the past, present and future development of the area. The volume is based on state-of-the-art research in dialectology around the world, providing the most current work available with an unusually broad scope of topics Provides a practical guide to the many methodological and statistical issues surrounding the collection and analysis of dialect data Offers summaries of dialect variation in the world's most widely spoken and commonly studied languages, including several non-European languages that have traditionally received less attention in general discussions of dialectology Reviews the intellectual development of the field, including its main theoretical schools of thought and research traditions, both academic and applied The editors are well known and highly respected, with a deep knowledge of this vast field of inquiry
Language Change in the 20th Century
Language Change in the 20th Century: Exploring micro-diachronic evolutions in Romance languages examines the distinctive features that set the study of the 20th century apart from preceding periods. With a primary focus on Romance languages, including Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese, the book advocates for the adoption of innovative methodologies to enhance the nuanced retrieval of research data: the use of speaker’s attitudes questionnaires, apparent time constructions, and S-curves. Additionally, new materials are addressed as diachronic data sources: mass-media recordings from radio and TV, colloquial conversations, and sociolinguistic corpora. Results focus on the evolution of discourse markers, address terms, as well as on the influence of specific processes such as colloquialization or external mechanisms on the language changes developed during this period. In sum, the 20th century is presented in this book as a new strand in diachronic studies, rather than another time span.

Handbook on the History of Mathematics Education
This is the first comprehensive International Handbook on the History of Mathematics Education, covering a wide spectrum of epochs and civilizations, countries and cultures. Until now, much of the research into the rich and varied history of mathematics education has remained inaccessible to the vast majority of scholars, not least because it has been written in the language, and for readers, of an individual country. And yet a historical overview, however brief, has become an indispensable element of nearly every dissertation and scholarly article. This handbook provides, for the first time, a comprehensive and systematic aid for researchers around the world in finding the information they need about historical developments in mathematics education, not only in their own countries, but globally as well. Although written primarily for mathematics educators, this handbook will also be of interest to researchers of the history of education in general, as well as specialists in cultural and even social history.
Lingüística aplicada a la enseñanza del español como lengua extranjera
Lingüística aplicada a la enseñanza del español como lengua extranjera es un libro que viene a sumarse a este campo fértil de investigación. En él se recogen un total de diez trabajos de investigación de autores noveles iniciados en el ámbito docente e investigador ELE en el que ofrecen trabajos muy variados de índole teórico-práctico sobre la enseñanza del español. Dichos trabajos abordan distintos niveles educativos -desde Educación Infantil hasta universitarios-, así como atienden a diversos aspectos como es la música, la comunicación no verbal o, incluso, las nuevas realidades virtuales como es la realidad virtual aumentada. Se trata, en definitiva, de un conjunto de propuestas didácticas que conforman una panorámica considerablemente completa de las problemáticas en torno a esta rama de la lingüística aplicada con trabajos originales basados en la reflexión personal crítica del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de ELE.
La disponibilidad léxica en la ciudad de Almería entre los nueve y los doce años
La estimación de los coeficientes de disponibilidad léxica, desde el momento mismo de la acuñación del concepto, se ha alcanzado mediante la aplicación de diversos algoritmos de cálculo estructurados, siempre, considerando las frecuencias de los vocablos recogidos en listas producidas por los informantes y la posición en que aparecen en cada una de ellas. La ponderación del elemento “posición” se realiza, en los esquemas habituales, introduciendo un valor constante como factor multiplicador que modifica el peso de las frecuencias. En La disponibilidad léxica en la ciudad de Almería se parte de un análisis detenido de las fórmulas usadas en las investigaciones actuales y se a...
Planificación lingüística
La preocupación formal de los poderes sociales acerca de la vida social de las lenguas bajo su administración se trata de una constante histórica. Hay ejemplos en prácticamente todas las épocas y todas las culturas, en lo que no deja de ser una constante en la vida de las lenguas y en la vida de las sociedades. A partir de los años 60, un entonces modelo científico emergente, la sociolingüística, formula de manera explícita un ámbito de intervención explícita, conocida con el nombre de planificación lingüística. Por supuesto, siempre ha tenido una estrecha interdependencia con la política lingüística; esto es, con las decisiones de los poderes administrativos sobre las len...
