Function and Class in Linguistic Description: The Taxonomic Foundations of Grammar
by Mário Alberto PeriniThis book deals with the traditional problem of the classification of linguistic units, with a primary focus on word classes. The approach is descriptive rather than theoretical, and is based on the use of distinctive features analogous to the ones used in phonology, which entails a radical reworking of the traditional classification. The first part presents some basic notions such as the use of distinctive features and the role of word classes in grammar; classification by prototypes; and the use of world knowledge as a resource to assign thematic relations to constituents in the sentence. In the second part, some descriptive problems are examined, namely the classification of verbs according to valency; connectives, adverbs, and the internal constituents of the NP; and the classification of units larger than words. This book will be of use as a guide for linguists working on the description of natural languages, as well as a resource for students on courses in linguistic theory and description.
Functional Grammar in the ESL Classroom
by Rodney H. JonesThe book introduces six general procedures for teaching grammar to learners of English as a second language. The procedures are designed to encourage learners to notice, explore and practice grammar in context. Each description and discussion of a procedure is followed by two sample lesson plans together with sample texts and worksheets. Teachers can either use these 'as is' or adapt them for their own students. The lessons are suitable for a wide range of students from beginning learners to advanced learners. A final chapter provides examples of lessons in which several procedures are combined. In addition, before each sample lesson plan, the grammar focus of the lesson is briefly explained for the teacher. These procedures all illustrate how grammar can be taught through texts, and they are based on an understanding of the latest research on pedagogical grammar and the role of language awareness and discovery in second language learning and provide teachers with principles they can apply in developing their own teaching materials and activities. The grammar explanations preceding each teaching plan provide a fresh look at English grammar drawing on work in systemic functional linguistics.
Functional Structure: Perspectives from East Asian Languages (Routledge Studies in Asian Linguistics)
by Andrew Simpson Yen-hui Audrey LiThe issue of how interpretation results from the form and type of syntactic structures present in language is one which is central and hotly debated in both theoretical and descriptive linguistics.This volume brings together a series of eleven new cutting-edge essays by leading experts in East Asian languages which shows how the study of formal structures and functional morphemes in Chinese, Japanese and Korean adds much to our general understanding of the close connections between form and interpretation. This specially commissioned collection will be of interest to linguists of all backgrounds working in the general area of syntax and language change, as well as those with a special interest in Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
Fundamental Considerations in Technology Mediated Language Assessment
by Karim Sadeghi and Dan DouglasFundamental Considerations in Technology Mediated Language Assessment aims to address issues such as how the forced integration of technology into second language assessment has shaped our understanding of key traditional concepts like validity, reliability, washback, authenticity, ethics, fairness, test security, and more. Although computer assisted language testing has been around for more than two decades in the context of high-stakes proficiency testing, much of language testing worldwide has shifted to 'at home' mode, and relies heavily on the mediation of digital technology, making its widespread application in classroom settings in response to the COVID-19 outbreak as unprecedented. Integration of technology into language assessment has brought with it countless affordances and at the same time challenges, both theoretically and practically. One major theoretical consideration requiring attention is the way technology has contributed to a re-conceptualisation of major assessment concepts/constructs. There is very limited literature available on theoretical underpinnings of technology mediated language assessment. This book aims to fill this gap. This book will appeal to academic specialists, practitioners or professionals in the field of language assessment, advanced and/or graduate students, and a range of scholars or professionals in disciplines like educational technology, applied linguistics and TESOL.
Fundamental Structures of the Chinese Language: Topic-Comment and Other Key Structures
by Taciana Fisac Riccardo MorattoFundamental Structures of the Chinese Language is an exceptional resource for understanding how Chinese grammar functions in natural discourse.This book departs from the conventional approach of superimposing grammatical constructs from English onto Chinese and focuses on the topic–comment structure inherent in the Chinese language. Constructions that are usually considered complex or challenging for students whose mother tongues are subject–verb–object languages will be more easily understandable with this analysis. Simple and complex verbal structures are discussed in depth with the incorporation of the aspect category, which provides an enormous richness of nuances in the internal development of the action, and word order is considered one of the key features of the Chinese language. All the explanations are applied to numerous examples of real Chinese texts.This textbook is a valuable resource for students, teachers, and researchers in Chinese language courses including Chinese translation, Chinese linguistics, and comparison linguistics in general.

Fusion of Critical Horizons in Chinese and Western Language, Poetics, Aesthetics (Chinese Literature and Culture in the World)
by Ming Dong GuThis book begins with a reflection on dichotomies in comparative studies of Chinese and Western literature and aesthetics. Critiquing an oppositional paradigm, Ming Dong Gu argues that despite linguistic and cultural differences, the two traditions share much common ground in critical theory, aesthetic thought, metaphysical conception, and reasoning. Focusing on issues of language, writing, and linguistics; metaphor, metonymy, and poetics; mimesis and representation; and lyricism, expressionism, creativity, and aesthetics, Gu demonstrates that though ways of conception and modes of expression may differ, the two traditions have cultivated similar aesthetic feelings and critical ideas capable of fusing critical and aesthetic horizons. With a two-way dialogue, this book covers a broad spectrum of critical discourses and uncovers fascinating connections among a wide range of thinkers, theorists, scholars, and aestheticians, thereby making a significant contribution to bridging the aesthetic divide and envisioning world theory and global aesthetics.

Gems of Japanized English
by Miranda KenrickJapanese do things better, this book may be the ideal antidote. Even the Japanese are quick to admit that despite their enthusiasm for learning it, they still have a certain amount of difficulty with the English language.This is no new phenomenon. Shortly after Japan opened her ports to foreign traders, one doctor advertised himself as "a Specialist in the Decease of Children"; eggs were sold as "extract of fowl" ; and a notice advised that "Tomorrow, from midnight to 12 noon, you will receive dirty water. " Fortunately, things are improving, but very slowly. A more recent English-language newspaper reported that someone's "wedding was consummated in the garden of the American consul's home," while a road sign was posted near a busy intersection that commanded drivers to "Have many accidents here."Long-time Tokyo resident Miranda Kenrick has collected these and hundreds of other delightful anecdotes to form a lighthearted, but unabashedly affectionate, portrait of the J apanese at home. R eading this book may do more for U.S.-Japan relations than a whole bookshelf of more seriousminded tomes.

Gender, Discourse and Ideology in Italian (Palgrave Studies In Language, Gender And Sexuality Ser.)
by Federica FormatoThis book analyses gendered language in Italian, shedding light on how the Italian language constructs and reproduces the social imbalance between women and men, and presenting indirect and direct instances of asymmetrical constructions of gender in public and private roles. The author examines linguistic treatments of women in politics and the media, as well as the gendered crime of femminicidio, i.e. the killing of women by their (former) partners. Through the combination of corpus linguistics, surveys, and discourse analysis, she establishes a new approach to the study of gendered Italian, a framework which can be applied to other languages and epistemological sites. This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars of sociolinguistics, language and gender, discourse analysis, Italian and other Romance languages.
Gender, Sprache, Kognition: Eine linguistische Untersuchung zu gender-inklusivem Sprachgebrauch im Spanischen (Linguistik in Empirie und Theorie/Empirical and Theoretical Linguistics)
by Miriam ZapfDie Debatte über gender-inklusiven Sprachgebrauch wird in der Wissenschaft wie in der Gesellschaft kontrovers geführt. Dabei werden kognitive Aspekte häufig vernachlässigt; dies gilt in besonderem Ausmaß für das Spanische, wo die Interpretation „generischer“ Maskulina und gender-inklusiver Formen der Personenbezeichnung aus psycholinguistischer Perspektive praktisch nicht erforscht ist. Die vorliegende Arbeit leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag, um diese Forschungslücke zu schließen und die eher theoretisch und z.T. ideologisch geprägte Debatte auf eine empirische Basis zu stellen. Mithilfe eines innovativen Versuchsaufbaus, der auch nicht-binäre Personenbezeichnungsformen berücksichtigt, untersucht sie, welche Assoziationen „generische“ Maskulina sowie alternative, gender-inklusive Formen hervorrufen. Dabei zeigt sich, dass „generische“ Maskulina oft mit einem male bias interpretiert werden, das in einigen Fällen durch gender-inklusive Formen reduziert oder beseitigt werden kann. Die Ergebnisse geben außerdem Hinweise auf eine Dynamik, die in der Forschung bislang kaum diskutiert wird: Womöglich gehen gerade eine zunehmende Thematisierung und Umsetzung gender-inklusiven Sprachgebrauchs damit einher, dass „generische“ Maskulina immer weniger generisch interpretiert werden, gender-inklusive Personenbezeichnungsformen hingegen immer stärker.
