SUMMARY
Kemp鈥檚 鈥楨nglish Evidential -ly Adverbs from a Functional Perspective鈥�, based on her doctoral dissertation, consists of six chapters. It aims to analyze the distribution and meaning of eleven English -ly evidential adverbs. The study is based on De Haan鈥檚 (2005) definition of evidentiality (p. 5), extending it to include both external and internal sources of evidence, the
SUMMARY
This book describes Natural Language Processing (NLP) as of around 2023; namely, "deep learning" (where "deep" refers to the number of layers in the computer implementation of a neural network, not to any abstract notion of deep knowledge). There are other approaches to NLP, but as the authors say, deep learning is the favorite, and likely to remain so for the near future.
The preface lays out the aim of the book: "to bridge the theoretical and practical aspects of deep learning f
Das Buch widmet sich den sprachlichen Zweifelsf盲llen. Darunter fallen bspw. die schwankende Kasusrektion bei Pr盲positionen wie wegen oder dank oder auch Flexionsformen von Substantiven wie bei dem Helden und dem Held. Im Buch werden korpus-, sozio- und psycholinguistische Betrachtungsdimensionen diskutiert, mit denen sich Zweifelsf盲lle bez眉glich ihrer Grammatikalit盲t und Angemessenheit, ihres Gebrauchs, ihrer sozialen Bedeutsamkeit und ihrer Verarbeitung ad盲quat beschreiben und vom sprachlichen

To help you stay connected to other people doing Linguistics Communication (lingcomm), we鈥檝e started a new mailing list especially for lingcomm. LingComm social media continues to exist, but the social landscape is increasingly fragmented so this is a way to have a semi-public professional contact point for everyone doing lingcomm.
This group is a space to share information about lingcomm practice. This includes, but is not limited to, conferences, events, journal special issues and other inf
This collective volume investigates linguistic dynamics in language contact, focusing on heritage speakers. The chapters provide new insights into the role of speaker repertoires and the distinction between contact-induced change and language-internal variation by reporting on corpus-linguistic studies across different communicative situations in heritage and majority languages. Conducted in the context of the DFG Research Unit 鈥淓merging Grammars in Language Contact Situations鈥� (FOR 2537), the s
This book explores the development of prosodic and interactional competence in second language acquisition, drawing on data from peer interactions by Italian learners of German in both German and their native language, Italian, as well as from German native speakers. Three key aspects of spoken interaction are examined across proficiency levels: prosodic marking of information status, turn-taking, and backchannels. The analysis of prosodic marking of information status reveals that learners mark
The volume Discourse structure and narration: A diachronic view from Germanic deals with questions of information structuring at discourse level, focusing on narrative discourses. More precisely, it is about the contribution of grammatical devices to the organization of texts as well as their diagnostic potential for the narrative text type. Although it is well-known that information packaging had a much greater impact on the distribution of grammatical patterns in historical stages of a languag
This book constitutes a holistic study of sociolinguistic development among adult second language (L2) learners in a naturalistic setting. Combining results from a cross-sectional and longitudinal micro-development study, it examines the acquisition of both the productive and interpretive skills necessary to engage with the contextually sensitive use of vernacularity in Austria. The studies focus on issues of inter- and intra-individual variation and aim to shed much-needed light on why L2 learn
This book builds a space in which a diversity of voices 鈥� Indigenous teachers, activists and committed academics 鈥� are foregrounded in the processes of Indigenous education with the goal of Indigenous language reclamation. It decenters state systems of education (e.g. schooling) and instead considers the efforts of teachers (defined broadly), community activists and scholars who are developing initiatives to support Indigenous language practices in, around and beyond schooling, thereby emphasizi
This book presents case studies of ideologies of communication in Japan which respond to recent epistemological and methodological developments in the field and reflect the subject-wide shift from ideologies of language to ideologies of communication. Chapters explore a wide range of language contexts, from formal language learning settings to video games, smartphones and language use in couples and by immigrants. The authors use an array of innovative methodological approaches and theoretical p
This book addresses a topic that until recently had been underexplored: women who voluntarily forgo having and raising children. Grounded in a discourse approach, it examines reproductive decision-making in the context of pronatalist discourses, such as 'maternal instinct', 'biological clock' and 'having it all', that encourage procreation in some while discouraging it in others. To contextualize pronatalism sociohistorically, the book also examines the relationship between pro- and anti-natalis
