Gothic is the earliest attested Germanic language. Although now extinct and without any direct modern descendants, it has left a significant imprint鈥攑articularly on the Romance languages. As such, Gothic offers invaluable source material for Indo-Europeanists, researchers of language contact, typologists, and general linguists alike.

Chinese Exiles鈥� Discourse on YouTube
Editor: Dr. Winnie Seid
This edited volume explores the unique political discourses of exiled Chinese YouTubers鈥攙oices that speak truths inaccessible within China due to censorship and repression. By analyzing these channels, the book seeks to shed light on new forms of counter-discourse, diasporic political engagement, and the global circulation of narratives about China.

This dissertation focuses on the central research question of how Mandarin compound words are represented during language production. Specifically, it examines whether compound words are stored in the mental lexicon in a decomposed or holistic manner. If decomposition occurs during production, at what level does it take place? Are the storage mechanisms at the lemma and lexeme levels-two stages in lexical selection-distinct? According to the theoretical model proposed by Levelt et al. (1999), de
Memory Retrieval in Dependency Resolution Beyond the Syntactic Domain
Language is structured in a way that requires the establishment of linguistic dependency relations. This involves the storage and retrieval of linguistic information in memory during language processing. Linguistic rules determine which dependency relations are possible and which are not. Studying the real-time deployment of these rules has provided important insights into the retrieval mechanism underlying language process
This dissertation investigates comparative morphology in Ukrainian adjectives, adverbs, and deadjectival verbs. The comparative suffix in Ukrainian has two allomorphs: -s虒, as in molod-s虒-yj 鈥榶ounger鈥�, and -is虒, as in vesel-is虒-yj 鈥榤errier鈥�. I claim that the allomorph -is虒 is in fact comprised of two morphemes, -i and -s虒. I account for the comparative allomorphy in terms of root sizes using Nanosyntax. Big roots like molod take only one comparative morpheme, while smaller roots like vesel take

This volume brings together empirical research in sociolinguistics that focuses on Arabic and Spanish contact across different geopolitical, sociocultural, and digital spaces. Bridging historical and modern sociolinguistic perspectives, this volume challenges the marginalization of Arabic-Spanish contact as well as Judeo-Spanish in linguistic research, shedding light on the enduring global relevance of the study of these languages and their contexts.

This book brings together corpus linguistics and pragmatics by extending the emerging corpus analytic framework of local grammar to speech act research, aiming to enrich the toolkit of corpus-based speech act studies. It outlines four directions in which local grammar can be useful for investigating speech acts, namely, a local grammar approach to annotating speech acts, developing local grammars of speech acts, identifying speech act constructions via the lens of local grammars, and applying lo
This monograph introduces the Evaluative Discourse Metaphor model, which argues that participants in public and semi-public online discourse (re)use evaluative metaphors to construct and maintain communities. We explore how such metaphors trigger others with similar forms, though not necessarily the same evaluative targets, generating discourse spaces unified by a shared evaluative ethos. The model draws on a discourse-based view of metaphor, Hallidayan metafunctions, Du Bois鈥檚 stance triangle,
