The Past, Present, and Future of an Immigrant Language

The New Cambridge History of the English Language

North America and the Caribbean

The New Cambridge History of the English Language: Volume 5

A skillfully updated edition of The F-Word which renders a comprehensive portrait of English's most notorious and colorful word. No word has generated more uses, more creative euphemisms, and more strong opinions than fuck. Jesse Sheidlower's historical dictionary, now in print for over 25 years, charts the uses of fuck and its many permutations, from absofuckinglutely to zipless fuck. It illustrates every sense of every entry with quotations, from the earliest that can be found to a recent example, showing exactly how the word has been used throughout history. This new edition is not just a minor update but a comprehensive revision of Sheidlower's groundbreaking text for the internet age. Major new discoveries push back the known history of fuck by almost two hundred years. Sheidlower also considers rapidly changing attitudes towards the use of fuck in public discourse. The volume includes over 2,500 new quotations; over 150 new antedatings (earlier examples of existing entries, improving our understanding of the word's development); and over 150 entries, including high-profile recent uses such as AF 'as fuck', fuckboi, and the group of expressions of the sort to give no fucks or zero fucks given.

The F-Word

Focusing on the development of Noam Chomsky's linguistic framework, this book is the first full-length, in-depth treatment of the history of the concept of parameter, a central notion of syntactic theory. Spanning 60 years of syntactic theory, it explores all aspects of its development through the different phases of the Chomskyan school, from the 'standard theory' of the mid-1960 to the current Minimalist Program. Emphasis is put on three main topics: the foundational issues in the formulation of the Principles and Parameters model; the original formulation of the "classical" parameters of the Government-Binding Theory of the 1980s (which are then evaluated from the perspective of Chomskyan thought today), and current debates on the nature of parametric variation in light of Generative Grammar's most recent theoretical developments. Through step-by-step, detailed explanations, it provides the reader with a comprehensive account of both parametric theory and the development of Generative Grammar.

The first full-length treatment of the concept of parameter and its development through the various phases of Generative Grammar. Providing step-by-step, detailed explanations, it offers a full account of parametric theory and the development of Chomsky's framework for researchers and advanced students in syntactic theory and language acquisition.

Foundations of Human Interaction

In Systems of Social Action, author Giovanni Rossi argues that everyday cooperation relies on a system of social action, where the communicative tools that a culture provides to get others to do things are organized into a coherent array of interdependent practices. These practices range from directives like "Bring me a knife!" to questions like "Can you take over for me?" to nonverbal cues like pointing to or reaching out for an object. Rossi demonstrates that the use of request practices in informal settings is not determined by sociodemographic characteristics of the individuals involved such as age or gender, nor by the structural distance or power dynamics associated with those characteristics. Instead, the crafting of everyday requests is sensitive to the dynamic, situational needs of social interaction: distinguishing between individual and shared goals, seeking assistance in the face of resistance, navigating prerequisites for object exchange, and orchestrating collective agency. Based on an extensive study of real-life interactions among speakers of Italian, Rossi shows that requesting is more than just asking: it is a nuanced form of social influence that shapes and maintains relationships. These analyses drive his intervention in broader theories of social action. The case of requesting in Italian forms the empirical basis for a deeper understanding of systems of social action practices.

The Case of Requesting in Italian

Systems of Social Action

It's a long journey from a writer's mind to a finished book - and a lot needs to go right along the way. But isn't it more interesting when things go wrong?With an expert Penguin editor as your guide, dive into the dark-side of the book world: a secret history fizzing with scandals, rivalries, cock-ups and con jobs. We'll discover how the tiniest of typos can have oversized consequences, unearth horrifying examples of bad taste and worse style, and peek into tales of forgeries and feuds as dramatic as any thriller. We'll unredact the most egregious cases of censorship, expose hoarders and thieves, and ask: is AI really an existential threat to the literary universe? Or are we our own worst enemies?

De Gruyter Studium

Die erste Einführung in die Sprache und Literatur des Mittelniederdeutschen verknüpft literarhistorische Darstellung und sprachliche Beschreibung mit dem Ziel, eine umfassende und bewusste Lektürekompetenz zu fördern. Besonderheiten ihrer Konzeption sind, dass Sprache und Literatur stets zusammengedacht werden, dass die Einführung an der Überlieferung orientiert ist und dass ausgewählte Texte mit kleineren Übungen in die Kapitel integriert sind. Mittelniederdeutsche Sprache wird aus synchroner Perspektive auf den verschiedenen grammatischen Ebenen beschrieben. Diachrone Aspekte werden dort ergänzend einbezogen, wo sie dem Textverständnis dienen. Um ein breites Verständnis des Mittelniederdeutschen zu ermöglichen und das Lesen und Übersetzen der Quellen zu erleichtern, wird auf sprachliche Variation als ein wesentliches Merkmal historischer Sprachstufen eingegangen. Die Sprachlehre berücksichtigt Ergebnisse aktueller Forschung und bezieht Daten des "Referenzkorpus Mittelniederdeutsch/Niederrheinisch (1200-1650)" ein. Die sprachlichen Phänomene werden an den Texten veranschaulicht, die der literaturgeschichtliche Teil der Einführung vorstellt. Orientiert an Gattungstraditionen und Texttypen sowie an herausragenden Schreiborten und greifbaren Autorpersönlichkeiten wird die Vielfalt mittelniederdeutscher Textkultur abgebildet. Dabei wirft das Lehrbuch nicht nur einen Blick auf kanonische Quellen der Überlieferung, sondern auch auf eher randständig wahrgenommene Texte und Textgruppen. Das Mittelniederdeutsche wird in seiner zeitlichen und räumlichen Breite abgebildet. So wird textliche Vielfalt sichtbar. Um die LeserInnen in die Lage zu versetzen, mittelniederdeutsche Texte selbständig zu bearbeiten, werden die Primärtexte umfänglich in das Lehrbuch eingebunden. An ihnen werden nicht nur literaturgeschichtliche Informationen und literaturwissenschaftliche Ansätze veranschaulicht, sondern anhand von Übungen auch das Wissen um grammatische Merkmale geschärft. Auf diese Weise wird die Lektüre-, Übersetzungs- und Analysekompetenz gefördert. Ergänzt werden die Sprachlehre und die Literaturgeschichte durch eine Einführung in zentrale Arbeitsmethoden wie die Nutzung von Wörterbüchern, Grammatiken, Korpora und Atlanten sowie in die individuelle Literaturrecherche.

Cambridge Language Surveys

"Covering the full extent of the languages in the Balkan convergence zone, this groundbreaking volume provides the first comprehensive, book-length survey on the Balkan languages in English. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the Balkan languages. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core"--

Southeast Europe's Balkan peninsula is home to numerous languages that have come to converge structurally and lexically, due to complex social factors involving contact among speakers of these languages, constituting a 'sprachbund'. This volume provides the first comprehensive, book-length survey of the Balkan languages in English. It covers the full range of languages involved in the Balkan convergence zone, including Albanian, Aromanian, Bulgarian, Gagauz, Greek, Judezmo, Macedonian, Meglenoromanian, Romani, Romanian, Torlak, and West Rumelian Turkish. Balkan convergences - 'Balkanisms' - are presented, considering the grammatical domains of phonetics, phonology, morphology, morphosyntax, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and lexicon. It gives attention to relevant notions of contact linguistics and to the history of the field, while also introducing key conceptual innovations. Providing fresh data and perspectives on the most studied intense contact situation, this work is essential reading for anyone interested in Balkan languages. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Studies in English Language

Why do recordings of speakers engaging in reported speech at British Prime Minister's Questions from the 1970s-80s sound so distant to us? This cutting-edge study explores how the practices of quoting have changed at parliamentary question time in light of changing conventions and an evolving media landscape. Comparing data from authentic audio and video recordings from 1978 to 1988 and from 2003 to 2013, it provides evidence for qualitative and quantitative changes at the micro level (e.g., grammaticalisation processes in the reporting clause) and in more global structures (e.g., rhetorical patterns, and activities). These analytic findings contribute to the theoretical modelling of evidentiality in English, our understanding of constructions, interaction, and change, and of PMQs as an evolving community of practice. One of the first large-scale studies of recent change in an interactional genre of English, this ground-breaking monograph offers a framework for a diachronic interactional (socio-) linguistic research programme.

Arden Encyclopedia of Shakespeare's Language

Dialogue is at the heart of Shakespeare's plays, and when his characters exchange words, they create social communities. This book is the first to present, explore and compare those verbal communities in all of Shakespeare plays using computational social network analysis. Part of The Arden Encyclopaedia of Shakespeare's Language series, with volumes exploring how Shakespeare uses words to create meaning and shape characters, themes and genres, Volume 4: Character Networks presents another aspect of what Shakespeare's words do: create social worlds. The book illustrates how alliances or missed encounters can shape characters and plot; it explores gender, social and geographic differences in the plays' communities, and alerts readers to the function of minor characters - who often go unnoticed in criticism. Above all, it shows that what matters in Shakespeare's plays is not only the words characters speak, but also the company they keep. For each of Shakespeare's plays, the book includes information about the size and density of each play's character network as well as providing a visual network representation. Readers will also find a table for each play with scores that measure the centrality of all characters in terms of the importance, strength and number of their social ties. In addition, an accessible commentary on each play highlights salient features of the network data and explains what it means for our understanding of the play. A final chapter explores the broader patterns in Shakespeare's works by comparing the networks.
