Cambridge Textbooks in LinguisticsSeries Editors: P. AustinJ. BresnanB. ComrieS. CrainW. DresslerC. Ewen
The aim of this series is to provide discussions of the main topics in general or theoretical linguistics through books of moderate size covering single topics. The level of treatment is uniform, and suitable for undergraduate students taking linguistics as part of an introductory course and the editors will oversee the entire series to ensure that the treatments are integrated and the overlap between works is minimal. It will be possible for a complete course to be developed around the texts and it is likely that universities will do so. Topics singled out for treatment are morphology, syntax, phonetics, phonology, sociolinguistics, language acquisition and semantics as well as aspects of historical linguistics.www.cambridge.org/ctl

SemanticsAn Introduction to Meaning in LanguageRonnie CannUniversity of Edinburgh
Ruth KempsonKing’s College London
and Eleni GregoromichelakiKing’s College London
The study of meaning in language has developed dramatically over the last fifty years. Semantics is distinctive as it not only presents a general introduction to the topic, including the most recent developments, but it also provides a unique perspective for addressing current issues.
‘... an excellent introduction to natural language semantics.’Klaus von Heusinger, Universität Stuttgart, Germany

The Cambridge Handbook of Child LanguageEdited by Edith L. BavinLa Trobe University, Victoria
The best survey of the subject available, The Cambridge Handbook of Child Language brings together the world’s foremost researchers to provide a one-stop resource for the study of language acquisition and development. Grouped into five thematic sections, the Handbook is organised by topic, making it easier for students and researchers to use when looking up specific in-depth
information. It covers a wider range of subjects than any other handbook on the market, with chapters covering both theories and methods in child language research, and tracing the development of language from pre-linguistic infancy to teenager. Drawing on both established and more recent research, the Handbook surveys statistical learning, the cross-linguistic study of language acquisition, pre-linguistic development, and topics in semantic, pragmatic and narrative development, bilingualism, sign languages, specific language impairment, language and autism, Down Syndrome and Williams Syndrome. The field of child language research is multi-disciplinary: the book will be an essential reference for students and researchers working in linguistics, psychology, cognitive science, speech pathology, education and anthropology.Contributors: Edith L.

The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the Language SciencesEdited by Patrick Colm HoganUniversity of Connecticut
Have you lost track of developments in generative linguistics, finding yourself unsure about the distinctive features of minimalism? Would you like to know more about recent advances in the genetics of language, or about right hemisphere linguistic operation? The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the Language Sciences addresses these issues, along with hundreds of others. It includes basic entries for those unfamiliar with a given topic and more specific entries for those seeking more specialized knowledge. It incorporates both well-established findings and cutting-edge research and classical approaches and new theoretical innovations. The volume is aimed at readers who have an interest in some aspect of language science but wish to learn more about the broad range of ideas, findings, practices, and prospects that constitute this rapidly expanding field, a field arguably at the center of current research on the human mind and human society.Contributors: William Croft, Lee Osterhout, Richard A.

Cambridge Syntax GuidesSeries Editors: P. AustinB. ComrieJ. BresnanD. LightfootI. RobertsN. V. Smith
Responding to the increasing interest in comparative syntax, the goal of the Cambridge Syntax Guides is to make available to all linguists major findings, both descriptive and theoretical, which have emerged from the study of particular languages. The series is not committed to work in any particular framework, but rather seeks to make language-specific research available to theoreticians and practitioners of all persuasions. Written by leading figures in the field, these guides will each include an overview of the grammatical structures of the language concerned. For the descriptivist, the books will provide an accessible introduction to the methods and results of the theoretical literature; for the theoretician, they will show how constructions that have achieved theoretical notoriety fit into the structure of the language as a whole; for everyone, they will promote cross-theoretical and cross-linguistic comparison with respect to a well-defined body of data.www.cambridge.org/csgu

Key Topics in SociolinguisticsSeries Editor: Rajend Mesthrie
This series focuses on the main topics of study in sociolinguistics today. It consists of accessible yet challenging accounts of the most important issues to consider when examining the relationship between language and society. Some topics have been the subject of sociolinguistic study for many years, and are here re-examined in the light of new developments in the field; others are issues of growing importance that have not so far been given a sustained treatment. Written by leading experts,
the books in the series are designed to be used on courses and in seminars, and include useful suggestions for further reading and a helpful glossary.www.cambridge.org/kts

Language and IdentityAn introductionJohn EdwardsSt Francis Xavier University, Nova Scotia
The language we use forms an important part of our sense of who we are – of our identity. This book outlines the relationship between our identity as members of groups – ethnic, national, religious and gender – and the language varieties important to each group.
‘Written in a truly interdisciplinary spirit, this rich, lucid and irreverent book on language, culture and politics is bound to win admirers across the humanities and social sciences. Very readable, highly enjoyable, deeply enlightening.’Thomas Hylland Eriksen, Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Oslo

Language Culture and CognitionSeries Editor: Stephen C. LevinsonMax-Planck-Institute for Psycholinguistics, The Netherlands
This series focuses on the role that language, in both its universal, psychological aspects and its variable, cultural aspects, plays in human cognition. Studies focus on the relation between semantic and conceptual categories and processes, especially
as these are illuminated by cross-linguistic and cross-cultural studies, the study of language acquisition and conceptual development, and the study of the relation of speech production and comprehension to other kinds of behaviour in cultural context. Books come principally, though not exclusively, from research associated with the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, and in particular the Cognitive Anthropology Research Group.www.cambridge.org/lcc

Elements of Moral CognitionRawls’ Linguistic Analogy and the Cognitive Science of Moral and Legal JudgmentJohn Mikhail
The book’s main purpose is to explore whether the science of moral cognition is usefully modeled on aspects of Noam Chomsky’s theory of Universal Grammar. Just as Chomsky argued that human beings are born with innate knowledge
Philosophy of Language / ESOL and Applied Linguistics 15

of grammar, so Mikhail suggests that humans might possess innate moral knowledge, and he shows how this question can be usefully investigated.
‘Judicious, carefully executed, and deeply informed, this valuable study builds upon the early work of John Rawls, including his now-classic Theory of Justice, identifying its core principles, persuasively defending them against critics, deepening them conceptually and developing rich empirical foundations. It thereby provides the outlines of a naturalistic theory of moral judgment and moral cognition, which may well be a common human possession. One conclusion with broad consequences is that moral cognition crucially relies on the generation of complex mental representations of actions and their components. Mikhail’s enterprise resurrects fundamental themes of traditional moral philosophy and Enlightenment rationalism, while showing how they can be cast as empirical science with far-reaching implications for political, social, and legal theory. It is a most impressive contribution.’Noam Chomsky
