Manual of Romance Phonetics and Phonology
This handbook is structured in two parts: it provides, on the one hand, a comprehensive (synchronic) overview of the phonetics and phonology (including prosody) of a breadth of Romance languages and focuses, on the other hand, on central topics of research in Romance segmental and suprasegmental phonology, including comparative and diachronic perspectives. Phonetics and phonology have always been a core discipline in Romance linguistics: the wide synchronic variety of languages and dialects derived from spoken Latin is extensively explored in numerous corpus and atlas projects, and for quite a few of these varieties there is also more or less ample documentation of at least some of their diachronic stages. This rich empirical database offers excellent testing grounds for different theoretical approaches and allows for substantial insights into phonological structuring as well as into (incipient, ongoing, or concluded) processes of phonological change. The volume can be read both as a state-of-the-art report of research in the field and as a manual of Romance languages with special emphasis on the key topics of phonetics and phonology.
Modern Hebrew in Israel
This book is the first extensive study of the categories Hebrew speakers in Israel use for their classification of linguistic variation. It is commonly assumed that Modern Hebrew has no dialects in the traditional sense, despite considerable variation in everyday language use. Its particular sociolinguistic context makes Israel an interesting case to reassess cognitive sociolinguistic theory. This empirical study relies on interviews and experimental data from fieldwork to analyze cognitive processes that shape representations of social groups and linguistic phenomena. It is an original application of Grounded Theory Methodology and introduces the novel method group elicitation and rating task (GERT).
The Oxford Handbook of Expressivity
This handbook offers a detailed and wide-ranging account of expressivity, the essential property that allows natural language to not just describe something in the world, but to directly express or display the speaker's attitudes or emotions. Following the editors' introduction, which outlines the expressive turn in linguistics, the volume is divided into five parts. Part I lays out the historical background and foundations of expressivity in philology, philosophy, semiotics, and rhetoric, before Part II shows how it plays a major role in all linguistic domains, fields of research, and frameworks, from syntax and semantics to corpus linguistics and neurolinguistics. Chapters in Part III expl...
Higher Education in an Age of Disruption
This book investigates European higher education internationalisation policies during a period marked by extreme upheaval due to Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic. Situating her analysis at the intersection of higher education research and policy studies, the author combines historical and sociological institutionalism to investigate how this time of disruption impacted higher education policies in England, France and Germany. Based on extensive qualitative data derived from expert interviews and document analysis, the study offers timely insights into dynamics of institutional change and stability in higher education governance, as well as implications for the future of cross-border education and internationalisation. The book will appeal to academics and students interested in education policy and the internationalisation of higher education.
Social Media
This anthology brings together cutting-edge research and insightful analysis from experts in linguistics and foreign language education. Applying different methodological approaches to the analysis of social media, researchers from different fields explore how platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube are reshaping communication, language learning, and teaching methodologies. From the power of hashtags to the role of influencers, this collection reveals the profound impact of digital interactions on modern linguistics and foreign language education. Essential for educators, researchers, and social media enthusiasts, this book offers a fresh perspective on the evolving landscape of Romance languages (French, Spanish and Portuguese) in the digital age.

Varieties of Spoken French
This book examines the variation found in modern spoken French, based on the research programme 'Phonology of Contemporary French' (Phonologie du Francais Contemporain, PFC).

Although the principal focus is on differences in pronunciation, the authors also analyse the spoken language at all levels from sound to meaning. The book is accompanied by a website hosting audio-visual material for teaching purposes, data, and a variety of tools for working with corpora. The first part of the book outlines some key concepts and approaches to the description of spoken Fre...
Social and Linguistic Change in European French

Eine Untersuchung der Akzentgebiete Frankreichs. Die Akzentgebiete im Sprachbewusstsein der Stéphanois
Essay aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Französische Philologie - Linguistik, Note: 1,0, Universität Duisburg-Essen (Institut für Romanische Sprachen und Kulturen), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Welche Akzentgebiete sehen Frankophone in Frankreich?

Als Stéphanois werden die Einwohner von Saint-Étienne, der Hauptstadt des Départements Loire, in der süd-östlichen Region Rhône-Alpes bezeichnet. Im Zuge meiner Fremdsprachenassistenz habe ich die Möglichkeit, diese Befragung mit einerseits Le...
