This book considers social interaction as both the means and conduit for professional identity development in Allied Healthcare Professional (AHCP) teaching and learning contexts, from the classroom to the clinic room and beyond. Concepts and contexts within AHCP education are presented before empirical data are discussed. Drawing on qualitative data from allied healthcare students and professionals within predominantly the disciplines of speech and language therapy, physiotherapy and occupat

Popularly viewed as eccentric and illogical, dismissed by linguists as fixed and therefore uninteresting, English spelling is the Cinderella of modern linguistics. But it is a complex and fascinating subject. With a rich history of variation, English spelling has much to offer diachronic sociolinguists, while study of its history helps to explain many of today’s apparent irregularities. The story of its standardisation, beginning with the advent of the printing press, and the destandardisation c

This book adopts an interdisciplinary approach to the study of cultural and linguistic appropriation. It explores the use of Jamaican Creole phonetic and morphosyntactic features by Jamaican and non-Jamaican reggae and dancehall artists as well as Jamaicans’ evaluations of this linguistic behaviour. While positive attitudes prevail, some Jamaicans take a rather negative stance and perceive the use of Jamiacan Creole as inauthentic, misrepresentative and stereotyping. The findings of Jamaican

Twenty years after Edgar W. Schneider’s publication of the Dynamic Model, the field of World Englishes is as vibrant as ever. The further spread and entrenchment of English around the world as a result of globalisation but also localisation tendencies and, in particular, the spread of the language and its multiple varieties through the new media, has led to even further dispersion and contact scenarios, many of which challenge early conceptualisations of the World Englishes paradigm.

Bringing together scholars specialising in Russian studies, linguistic and cultural anthropology, sociolinguistics and ethnolinguistics, this collection examines the discursive practices in which migrants’ homes are framed, negotiated and constructed to reveal the complexity and ambivalence of home as a concept and as a phenomenon of social life. By examining migrants’ stories about moving home, the book explores the stages of linguistic and cultural adaptation. It demonstrates that immigrant

This textbook provides an in-depth introduction to morphology, while also engaging with the latest research and developments in the field. By presenting the latest theories and highlighting the current challenges in morphology, it offers a firm grounding for starting your own original research and will inspire your own thinking about the morphology of your target languages. It guides you through the context, theories and latest research in morphology with end-of-chapter exercises designed to str

Description: During the last years there has been a growing interest in the study of the morphosyntactic behaviour of proper names (Ackermann & Schlücker 2017; Dammel & Handschuh 2019; Caro Reina & Helmbrecht 2022; Stolz & Nintemann 2024). From a typological perspective, it has been shown that proper names can, to varying degrees, morphosyntactically differ from common nouns. As a consequence, some scholars speak of a special onymic grammar (Nübling et al. 2015) while others propose a special a

LabPhon 20 will be held in Montréal, Québec, Canada from June 26–28, 2026, with pre-conference workshops and a keynote lecture on June 25.

Visible language is widespread and familiar in everyday life. We find it in shop signs, advertising billboards, street and place name signs, commercial logos and slogans, and visual arts. The field of linguistic landscapes draws on insights from sociolinguistics, language policy and semiotics to show how these public forms of language relate to multiple issues in language policy, language rights, language and education, language and culture, and globalization. Stretching from the earliest stone

Referential expressions include terms such as determiners, proper names, noun phrases, pronouns, and all other expressions that we use to make reference to things, beings, or events. The first of its kind, this book presents a detailed, integrated account of typical and atypical uses of referential expressions, combining insights from discourse, cognitive, and psycholinguistic literature within a functional model of language. It first establishes a foundation for reference, including an overview

Turn-taking is a fascinating feature of conversational interaction, due to its systematic and ordered nature. However, research has so far focused mainly on American and British conversations, with other varieties of English receiving much less attention. This pioneering book addresses this gap by exploring turn-taking patterns and cultural variation in Southeast Asian and Caribbean English. Bringing together research from the fields of Conversation Analysis and World Englishes for the first ti

Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) is a theory of language in which linguistic structures are accounted for in terms of the interplay of discourse, semantics and syntax. With contributions from a team of leading scholars, this Handbook provides a field-defining overview of RRG. Assuming no prior knowledge, it introduces the framework step-by-step, and includes a pedagogical guide for instructors. It features in-depth discussions of syntax, morphology, and lexical semantics, including treatments of
