Computational methods employing corpus linguistics, natural language processing, and/or artificial intelligence have expanded our ability to empirically study figures such as humour, irony, and metaphor. Moreover, the growing number of digital spaces have afforded users with new mediums and affordances to deploy such figures. The result is a growing complexity in terms of methods and contexts for studying humour, irony, and other forms of figurative language. This special issue gathers original

Meeting Description: In many languages, verb-first clauses appear not only as main clauses, such as polar interrogatives, but also in adverbial functions, particularly as conditional, concessive, adversative or causal clauses. Although certain types of verb-first adverbial clauses have been studied in languages like Dutch, German, English, and the Scandinavian languages, their syntactic status, semantic interpretation, and prosodic integration remain underexplored. In the case of German, v

The authors provide empirical, theoretical, conceptual and practical contributions which demonstrate how emotional responses provide data

This book traces and summarizes theoretical insights and empirical findings on the topic of whether or not anxiety for language learning could be a causal variable for individual differences in language learning. The author brings together three decades of research to show that first language (L1) skills and second language (L2) aptitude are confounding variables in studies of language anxiety and that learners鈥� levels of anxiety for L2 learning are strongly related to their levels of language a

This book explores the ways in which language is understood in diverse contexts, and how linguistic theories 鈥� and the idea of language as an object 鈥� fail to represent a reality that is inherently multi- and trans-. The chapters tease out the way that an understanding of language as a social practice, and the central role of the speaker(s) and their repertoire, allows for a more nuanced interpretation of language in contexts ranging from English as an international 鈥榥eutral鈥� language in researc
