Cinema and Language Loss
Cinema and Language Loss provides the first sustained exploration of the relationship between linguistic displacement and visuality in the filmic realm, examining in depth both its formal expressions and theoretical implications. In tracing the encounter between cinema and language loss across a wide range of films - from Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard to Chantal Akerman's News from Home to Michael Haneke's Caché - Mamula reevaluates the role of displacement in postwar Western film and makes an original contribution to film theory and philosophy based on a reconsideration of the place of language in our experience and understanding of cinema.
Spoken Communication
The overall goal of the volume is to offer an extensive and qualified description of the current research that may stimulate genuine attention on Spoken communication. The volume gives updated insights on theoretical aspects, specific case studies and the issues of speech representation as well. In the first part different aspects of the cognitive and pragmatic perspectives are analyzed. An insightful account of language pathologies, multimodal spoken dialog interaction and voice expressiveness is given in part two, while sign languages, representation of intonation and automatic detection of disfluencies in speech transcriptions are investigated in the last section.
Translanguaging and the Bilingual Brain
Multilingual classrooms and online communication are becoming increasingly linguistically diverse due to globalization and new discourse patterns are emerging. Many of these patterns include the use of linguistic resources from multiple languages in the same utterance. Translanguaging, a recent theoretical framework, is gaining prominence among scholars interested in studying these multilingual discursive practices and the concept of a unitary language system for lexical processing. The aim of this book is to gain a better understanding of the bilingual brain and how words and sentences that use features from socially distinct languages are processed. Using examples provided by multilingual ...

De Lexicografia
Lexicography requires rigour, a broad scope, complexity and diligence. The current interest is for having varied and ideal dictionaries from diverse perspectives and for all types of users. The I International Symposium on Lexicography invited the consideration of lexicographical activity from an open perspective that links and unites languages together, considering its output a real help, since what links all dictionaries is that they are all instruments, and precision ones if possible.
Grammaticalization and Pragmatics: Facts, Approaches, Theoretical Issues
The studies collected in this volume deal with pragmatic factors involved in the evolution of grammatical or lexical forms or in the emergence of complex syntactic structures in various languages (Dutch, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian and Spanish). They are set against the theoretical framework of grammaticalization. The main methodological tools are cross-linguistic contrastive analysis and diachronic perspective. The two main issues that emerge from these studies are the place of pragmatic factors in language change (input, output or setting/frame of the process) and the existence or otherwise of a prevailing mechanism for explaining change phenomena.
Dynamiek in het hoger onderwijs
Naar aanleiding van zijn 25-jarig bestaan organiseerde de Dienst Universitair Onderwijs aan de K.U.Leuven vijf studiedagen over ontwikkelingen in het hoger onderwijs. Deze publicatie bundelt een aantal bijdragen van de sprekers uit binnen- en buitenland. Een eerste reeks artikels, meer beschouwend van aard, gaat over veranderingen in het hoger onderwijs en de uitdagingen die ze teweegbrengen voor het werk in onderwijsondersteunende diensten. Na een onderwijssociologische studie van de factoren die belangrijk zijn voor succesvolle verandering, staan de invoering van een studentgecentreerd onderwijsconcept en de spanningsvelden waarmee docenten in het hoger onderwijs af te rekenen krijgen, cen...
