Background: Language and identity are deeply and strongly interconnected. In today’s world marked by globalization, digital communication, migration (both forced and voluntary), accessibility of cultural exchange, power dynamics, this relationship is more complex and dynamic than ever. Identity is a complex construct that has given rise to a range of views and perspectives. Within the essentialist framework, it is perceived as fixed and naturally determined. Constructivists, however, consider i

The volume "Null Objects from a Cross-Linguistic and Developmental Perspective" brings together theoretical and empirical contributions on missing object constructions, revealing a nuanced and multifaceted phenomenon that poses challenges to current theories of null objects. The selected papers highlight the significance of the interplay between formal constraints and semantic properties (namely definiteness and animacy) in the licensing of null objects cross-linguistically. The formally oriente

In the South-West Indian Ocean, Mauritius and Reunion are part of a group of islands where French-based Creoles are spoken. In spite of their geographical proximity, Mauritian Creole and Reunion Creole are strikingly different in their morphosyntax. The first part of this volume describes some structural properties of their grammars. Both languages also differ in the degree to which they are standardized and used in education and in public spaces. One of the goals of this volume is to examine th

Situated within the flourishing domain of pragmatics, this volume explores the crucial role of gaze in human interaction, with a particular focus on the potential of mobile eye tracking to advance our methodology and understanding of multimodal communication. Readers will find a comprehensive, balanced exploration of the benefits and challenges associated with taking eye tracking out of the lab to record authentic interaction in real-life settings. By integrating insights from pragmatics, the co

Most Hungarian folksongs are about SEX – according to a widely accepted opinion of ethnographers. But what is SEX about? How is it connected to LOVE, and what does THE SACRED have to do with these? Drawing on Conceptual Metaphor Theory, this book reveals the profound connections between the three concepts, highlighting the spiritual roots of romantic love in a premodern, religious context. Within this framework, we can gain a better understanding of the true role of women in traditional religiou

This book offers two new perspectives on language attitudes and ideologies. First, it compares language commentary from two thus far relatively neglected time periods: the 19th and 21st centuries. Second, it draws on non-traditional, dialogic sources to explore not only the well-studied “expert” views on language but also the perspectives of the “audience” engaging with these texts. Using France and the French language as its case study, the book explores the areas of stability and change in que

Researchers who study multilingual literacy development face the reality of complex and ever evolving conceptualizations of multilingualism and literacy across dynamic contexts, languages, and modalities. To unlock the full potential of continuous developments in Applied Linguistics, innovative rethinking of methodological approaches is needed to keep pushing the boundaries of our understanding of multilingual literacy development and our ethical commitments to humanizing research. This book pro

This book weaves together constructions, imperatives, dialogicity, and discourse units. How can that be? This is precisely the question it sets out to answer by working at the crossroads of Construction Grammar (CxG), Corpus Linguistics (CL), and Interactional Linguistics (IL). Profiting from this cross-fertilising synergy, the book singles out BELIEVE (YOU) ME, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THINK AGAIN and MIND YOU as its objects of study, offers an empirical analysis of their properties and situates them

Data dubbed “peripheral” or previously unaccounted for have inspired new methods, new models and theories of language and new ways of understanding language and communication within pragmatics. The chapters in the volume extend this perspective to include language users and their identities as central, taking into account the ideologies that mediate their perception of language use. Identities and peripheries are approached geographically (Europe, North America, Africa, Asia; dialectal variation
