The Contributions to the Sociology of Language series features publications dealing with sociolinguistic theory, methods, findings and applications. It addresses the study of language in society in ...its broadest sense, as a truly international and interdisciplinary field in which various approaches – theoretical and empirical – supplement and complement each other. The series invites the attention of scholars interested in language in society from a broad range of disciplines – anthropology, education, history, linguistics, political science, and sociology.

This introduction to pragmatics provides an authoritative and comprehensive account of its central topics and a guide to the latest research. After describing the subject's scope and history, it ...examines conversational and conventional implicature, presupposition, speech act theory, and deixis. It then explores the interfaces between pragmatics and other core areas of inquiry, including cognition (focussing on relevance theory), semantics, and syntax. Professor Huang's lively. account contains exercises with suggested solutions, a glossary, and guides to further reading. This is the ideal textbook for students of linguistics. It is also a valuable resource for scholars in related fields. - ;This introduction to pragmatics - the study of language in use - provides an authoritative and comprehensive account of its central topics and a guide to the latest research. It opens with a discussion of the scope, meaning, and history of pragmatics from Aristotle to the present. It shows how the subject relates to the study of semantics, syntax, and sociolinguistics and to such fields as the philosophy of language, linguistic anthropology, and artificial intelligence. The remainder of the volume is divided into two parts. Part I begins with an account of classical and neo-Gricean theories of conversational and conventional implicature. It considers presupposition and speech act theory, and describes the different kinds of deixis. Part II explores some of the most productive current work in the subject, much of it at the interface between pragmatics and other core areas of inquiry. It looks at the pragmatics-cognition interface and relevance theory before. examining the interfaces between pragmatics and semantics and pragmatics and syntax. Professor Huang illustrates his lively account with examples drawn from English and a wide range of the world's
languages. He includes exercises and essay topics at the end of each chapter, and offers guidance and suggested solutions at the end of the volume. He provides a full glossary of terms and guides to further reading. This is the ideal textbook for students of linguistics. It will also be a valuable resource for scholars and students of language in philosophy, psychology, anthropology,. and computer science. - ;An excellent textbook in pragmatics. ... Huang's achievement is impressive. - Journal of Pragmatics;As for textbooks in pragmatics, there have been some on the market (see e.g., Cummings 2005, Grundy 2000, Levinson 1983, Mey 2001, Verschueren 1999), but the present one under review stands out. ... Students of pragmatics, philosophy of language in general, Gricean pragmatics, relevance theory and anaphora in particular will find this textbook useful and valuable. While all topics are introduced in terms accessible to both undergraduate and postgraduate students, this text,. authoritative and up-to-date, can serve as a valuable resource for scholars from pragmatics and neighbouring areas of inquiry who wish to keep abreast of advances in the discipline. - International Cognitive Linguistics Association Book Reviews;This new publication by Professor Huang ... gives a very thorough introduction to this subdiscipling in linguistics, which is becoming increasinly interwined with psychology and neurolinguistics. ... I would therefore recommend this introductory text to any postgraduates or researchers in psycholinguistics. - The Psychologist;The book is very thorough in its coverage of topics within the field. Mindful of its student audience, it also has extensive study questions, examples, and glossaries. My overall impressions is that it is a valuable textbook to anyone in the field of pragmatics. - The Linguist List.
The Serbs of Bela Krajina are one of the numerous local ethnolinguistic communities in Slovenia which are undergoing – as a consequence of major changes in their way of life emanating from the ...processes of modernisation and industrialisation, as well as due to changes in broader power relations – a process of language shift. This study was written with the aim of pointing out the significance and implications of the process of language shift both in the particular social, historic, and geographical context, as well as with regard to broader social processes. It simultaneously highlights the fact that the process of language shift employs the whole range of linguistic means. The process of language shift among the Serbs of Bela Krajina was approached from the perspective of language ideology, with a focus on language as one of the essential components of individual and group identity. These processes reveal the complex dynamics of social and linguistic changes and their interconnectedness, and show how deep the link is between the state-national and the local, between broader social processes and the ways in which local communities and their particular members rationalise, negotiate and justify their positions, roles, and strategies.
In the present paper we conduct a sociolinguistic analysis of Japanese terminology from the corpus of printed periodicals available in the prolonged stagnation period (2000-2010). The given time ...frame has been chosen due to the specific social and economic circumstances which caused changes in the attitude to life of the younger generations, and thus, indirectly, in the use of language. In the theoretical part of the paper, we pursue the principal postulations of pragmatics, sociolinguistics, lexicology with lexicography, and conceptual metaphor theory, as approaches which can help us conduct an appropriate methodological coverage of our corpus. In the empirical part of the paper, we present the material collected from our corpus (from the papers: Asahi Shinbun, Yomiuri Shinbun, Mainichi Shinbun, Nikkei Shinbun, Sankei Shinbun, Tokyo Shinbun, Chunichi Shinbun, Shuukan Economist, Shuukan Toyo Keizai, Shuukan Josei, Yomiuri Weekly, Chuuou Kouron, Ronza, Animeeju, Animedia, Ax), and then perform its sociolinguistic analysis and analysis of available conceptual metaphors. In the sociolinguistic sense, we show that the basic theoretical constructs of modern sociolinguistcs apply in the Japanese cultural context as well (the interrelation between the use of language and social factors, linguistic determinism, linguistic relativity, speech events and speech acts, the use of honorifics, the relation between language and etiquette, language and sex, language and ethnicity, language and politics). In the analysis of metaphors available in the corpus, we provide examples showing that some of the postulations of cognitive linguisticsapply in the Japanese language as well (embodiment, dependence of abstract concepts on the perception of space and force, classification of metaphors by source and target domains, the question of the ratio of universal and cultural traits in the construction of metaphors, especially in the jargon of sports). Based on our results, we propose that there should be a synergistic study of lexical, grammatical, semantic, and cultural (sociolinguistic, pragmatic...) connections and relations, since it is only in the interaction of all these analyses that the real, intended meanings of terms and constructions used can be interpreted. This is very important both practically, in order to help learners master this remote language more easily, and theoretically, as a suggestion for a future closer cooperation between formal and functional schools in linguistics.
U ovom radu vršimo sociolingvističku analizu japanskih termina iz korpusa štampane periodike dostupne u periodu produžene stagancije (2000.-2010. godine). Dati vremenski okvir izabran je zbog specifičnih socioekonomskih okolnosti, koje su izazvale promene u životnim stavovima mlađih generacija, pa samim tim, indirektno, i u jezičkoj upotrebi. U teorijskom delu rada, bavimo se osnovnim postulatima pragmatike, sociolingvistike, leksikologije sa leksikografijom i teorije pojmovne metafore, kao pristupima koji će nam omogućiti da adekvatno metodološki obradimo naš korpus. U empirijskom delu rada, izlažemo materijal prikupljen iz našeg korpusa (iz listova: Asahi Shinbun, Yomiuri Shinbun, Mainichi Shinbun, Nikkei Shinbun, Sankei Shinbun, Tokyo Shinbun, Chunichi Shinbun, Shuukan Economist, Shuukan Toyo Keizai, Shuukan Josei, Yomiuri Weekly, Chuuou Kouron, Ronza, Animeeju, Animedia, Ax), te pristupamo njegovoj sociolingvističkoj analizi i analizi dostupnih pojmovnih metafora. U sociolingvističkom smislu, pokazujemo kako bazični teorijski konstrukti savremene sociolingvistike važe i u japanskom kulturološkom okviru (međusobna uslovljenost jezičke upotrebe i socijalnih faktora, jezički determinizam, jezička relativnost, govorni događaj i govorni akt, upotreba honorifika, odnos jezika i etikecije, jezika i pola, jezika i etniciteta, jezika i politike). U analizi metafora dostupnih u korpusu, donosimo primere kojim se pokazuje da neki od postulata kognitivne lingvistikevaže i u japanskom jeziku (otelovljenje, zavisnost apstraktnih koncepata od percepcije prostornih odnosa i odnosa sila, klasifikacija metafora po izvornim i ciljnim domenima, pitanje odnosa univerzalnog i kulturološkog kod izgradnje metafora, naročito u sportskom vokabularu). Na osnovu naših rezultata sugerišemo da je neophodno sinergetsko izučavanje leksičkih, gramatičkih, semantičkih i kulturoloških (sociolingvističkih, pragmatskih...) veza i odnosa, jer se jedino u međuspletu svih tih analiza mogu shvatiti prava, nameravana značenja upotrebljenih pojmova i konstrukcija. Ovo je jako važno i praktično, kako bi se lakše savladio ovaj daleki strani jezik, ali i teorijski, kao sugestija za buduću bližu saradnju između formalnih i funkcionalnih škola u lingvistici.
This book provides an overview of the modifications and interaction of the Second-Language Learning discursive formation and the Identity discursive formation over four centuries of Russian history. ...It proposes an explanatory model in which small-scale linguistic detail is combined harmoniously with larger-scale language units in order to illuminate matters of cultural importance in their linguistic guise. Hallmark of its interdisciplinary scope is the isomorphic interpretation of image and text. Compositionally, interdisciplinarity pours into a nonlinear narrative; this narrative follows a spiral, redefining on a higher level and in a different setting distinctions, which were first discovered on a lower level with the theoretical devices of other disciplines. The lower coil of the helix accommodates the complementary argumentations of anthropology and lexical semantics; the higher one brings the conclusions to the plane of discourse analysis and semiotics
