In Writing Machines (2002), N. Katherine Hayles argues for electronic textuality, a condition of text that includes “signifying components” such as “sound, an-imation, motion, video, kinesthetic involvements, and software functionality” (20). Calling her approach to analyzing non-print texts “media-specific analy-sis” (29?31), she broadens the scope of litera…

E-book Colonial Vocabularies: Teaching and Learning Arabic, 1870-1970

Language teaching and learning were crucial to Europeans’ colonial, national, and individual enterprises in the Levant, and in these processes, “Oriental language teachers” – as they were termed prior to the Second World War – were fundamental. European state nationalisms influenced and increasingly competed with each other by promoting their languages and cultures abroad, by means of…

E-book Arabic in Contact

Of course, languages are not in contact. We could say that speakers of languages are, but even this would be misleading, as we would bestow an undue role to in-dividuals in their capacity as speakers, and at the same time forget that words and patterns spread when they are heard, rather than when they are uttered. As Thomason (2001: p. 2) puts it, “in the simplest definition, language contact…

E-book Methods in prosody : A Romance language perspective

As Lars Ellestr…

E-book The Bankruptcy : A Novel

Translators bear a heavy responsibility. When Jerome translated the Greek logos into the Latin verbum in the Vulgate Bible, he set Western theology and philosophy on an errant path for well over a millennium.

Rodica Dimitriu calls context a key notion in translation studies and one that allows for “complex analyses of the translator’s activities and decisions, of translation processes and, ultimately, of what accounts for the meaning(s) of a translated text” (Dimitriu 2005, 5). However, there is…

E-book The Writing of Disaster - Literary Representations of War, Trauma and …

In the past few years a number of book-length English-language studies of the cultural dimensions of disasters in modern Japan have appeared in print.2 The question arises: Why do we need another?

E-book Old Church Slavic : Grammar and Dictionaries

This is a difficult book. For specialists in Slavic linguistics, the familiar material of Old Church Slavic appears under shockingly novel light. For theoretical linguists, this work presents a construct unlike any other with the word grammar in the title. For all readers, the grammar is difficult because the complex formal appa-ratus is stated declaratively, not procedurally, and thus its vali…

E-book Driving and Embracing Change: Learning and Teaching Languages and Comm…

When considering the title of this book, we, as its editors, had to reflect on the notion of change. Change is constant and inevitable, but fundamental changes do not happen overnight.

Fifty years ago, Gregory Bateson (1972/2000), an early advocate for …

Ten years ago, I remarked on the surprisingly small proportion of metadiscoursestudies that investigated spoken discourse compared to the total amount of meta-discourse research (Mauranen 2012). This is still true, even though much more re-search has been devoted to spoken discourses since then. The proportional gapremains enormous. If we look for studies addressing not only speaking in general…
