Mutual Intelligibility Between Closely Related Languages
This book provides a detailed overview of research on mutual intelligibility between closely related languages. The book is organized around three sections which explore different facets of mutual intelligibility research. The first section outlines how to measure levels of intelligibility and its linguistic and extra-linguistic determinants. The second part grapples with questions and issues which arise once the measuring tools are established. A final section reflects on the practical and theoretical value of studying mutual intelligibility, including issues related to language planning and policy, such as cultural, communicative, educational, and economical matters.
Manual of Language Acquisition
This manual contains overviews on language acquisition and distinguishes between first- and second-language acquisition. It also deals with Romance languages as foreign languages in the world and with language acquisition in some countries of the Romance-speaking world. This reference work will be helpful for researchers, students, and teachers interested in language acquisition in general and in Romance languages in particular.
Le changement en français
Cet ouvrage réunit une sélection d'articles issus du colloque international « Diachro 4 - Le français en diachronie », qui s'est tenu à l'Université Complutense de Madrid du 22 au 24 octobre 2008. Les contributions sont axées essentiellement autour de trois grands thèmes : le français préclassique et classique en diachronie ; l'énonciation et la linguistique textuelle en diachronie ; les structures interrogatives et les constructions clivées. Un thème transversal apparaît tout au long de cet ensemble : celui de la périodisation, du choix des critères permettant la reconnaissance d'étapes successives dans le changement linguistique. Les études proposées ici constituent un ensemble bien représentatif des diverses tendances, théoriques et méthodologiques, qui traversent actuellement le champ de la linguistique diachronique du français, en France comme à l'étranger.
Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Multilingualism
Multilingualism is a typical aspect of everyday life for most of the world’s population; it has existed since the beginning of humanity and among individuals of all backgrounds. Nonetheless, it has often been treated as a variant of bilingualism or as a phenomenon unique to individual areas of study. The purpose of this book is to review current knowledge about the acquisition, use and loss of multiple languages using a multidisciplinary perspective, highlighting the common themes and stimulating insights that can emerge when multilingualism is viewed from different but related areas of investigation. The chapters focus on research evidence, showing that multilingualism is a complex phenom...

The Politics of Multilingualism
This book proposes a multidisciplinary assessment of the impact of complex diversity on language politics and policies, analysing how the legacies of the old interact with the challenges of the new. Its main focus is on the interplay of multilingualism on the one hand, and the dynamics of transnationalism, globalisation, and Europeanisation on the other. This interplay confronts contemporary societies with unprecedented questions, as they face the need to come to grips with increasingly varied and pervasive manifestations of linguistic and cultural diversity. This volume develops an integrative approach that identifies the key social and political dimensions at hand, offering an innovative contribution to the ongoing conversation on the manifestations and management of multilingualism.
Pragmatics of Accents
What impact do accents have on our lives as we interact with one another? Are accents more than simple sets of phonetic features that allow us to differentiate from one dialect, variety or style, to the other? What power relationships are at work when we speak with what those around us perceive as an 'accent'? In the 12 chapters of this volume, an international group of sociolinguists, applied linguists, anthropologists, and scholars in media studies, develop an innovative approach that we describe as the ‘pragmatics of accents’. In this volume, we present a variety of languages and go beyond the traditional structural description of accents. From ideologies in national contexts, to L2 education, to accent discrimination in the media and the workplace, this volume embraces a new perspective that focuses on the use of accents as symbolic resources, and emphasizes the importance of context in the human experience of accents.
Minority Languages, National Languages, and Official Language Policies
In a context where linguistic and cultural diversity is characterized by ever-increasing complexity, adopting official multilingual policies to correct a country's ethno-linguistic, socio-economic, and symbolic imbalances presents many obstacles, but the greatest challenge is implementing them effectively. To what degree and in what ways have official multilingualism and multiculturalism policies actually succeeded in attaining their goals? Questioning and challenging foundational concepts, Minority Languages, National Languages, and Official Language Policies highlights the extent to which governments and international bodies are unable to manage complex linguistic and cultural diversity on...
Au cœur du verbe
Si le présent ouvrage n’aborde pas en profondeur le verbe comme forme prédicative par excellence – position de plus en plus mise à mal de nos jours – l’on sait que sa particularité de catégorie de l’action a complètement disparu de nos esprits. La classique bipartition verbe d’action et verbe d’état, pour être encore en cours dans le domaine scolaire, a fait place à la possibilité prédicative de toutes les catégories grammaticales essentielles. Le nom peut représenter l’action, l’état, le sentiment, etc. Le paradigme d’étude du verbe s’annonce large, et le volume en cours n’a ni l’ambition ni la prétention de l’embrasser dans son entièreté. Si on...
