Metaperspectives in Contemporary Literary Fiction offers a literary-linguistic investigation of hypothesis and the metaperspective within contemporary Booker Prize-winning novels. This highly innovative book introduces a new concept in the field of stylistics , but it also explores it through analyses of highly relevant concepts and areas of stylistic study. Adam applies the concept of the metaperspective, centring on the thoughts of characters about other characters' views of them, to conte

Language comprehension relies on memory. In many cases, we need information scattered throughout an utterance to arrive at its meaning. Consider the sentence: "Mary, who was really, really tired, passes the bag to Suzy." To understand who is doing the passing, we need to retrieve the word "Mary" when reading "passes the bag". To date, extensive research has investigated memory operations involved in processing syntactic dependencies within a sentence. This dissertation extends that research by

Children鈥檚 vocabulary acquisition starts with the challenge of speech segmentation: dividing continuous speech into words. One way of finding the boundaries between words is by tracking the transitional probabilities between syllables, a process named Statistical Learning (SL). These probabilities reflect the chance that one syllable is followed by a certain other syllable, and a low chance indicates a likely word boundary. SL ability varies across individuals, and this variation is related to d

This work presents a first broad and systematic grammar sketch of Bangala, a contact language of Central Africa spoken by approximately 2 to 3 million speakers in the northeastern parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Like Lingala, Bangala鈥檚 鈥渟ister language鈥�, it emerged in the late 19th century from the pidginization of Bobangi in the context of very early colonial and missionary activities. Later introduced by the colonial state as a lingua franca, Bangala spread widely across areas north

The book offers a fresh and multifaceted exploration of Czech clitics, drawing on historical, phonological, syntactic, and nanosyntactic perspectives. Individual chapters investigate key questions such as the role of morphological structure and phonological constraints in clitic ordering, phonological patterns in spoken Czech, and the challenges of clitic placement. Contributions also deal with the behavior of the intransitivizing reflexive SE, and examine broader theoretical implications for cl

Call for Papers: Co-organised by the International Linguistic Society and DELAD (Database Enterprise for Language and Speech Disorders) Language disorders affect individuals across all ages and languages. While many are congenital and emerge in early childhood, others develop later in life as a result of neurological conditions, illness, or injury.
