This unique book examines how children learn to read across seventeen languages and their orthographies.

This book presents Jorgen Rischel's most important work on language and sound structure.

This annotated bibliography introduces the reader to the best recent works of scholarship on each important work of Old English literature including Beowulf, The Wanderer, and The Ruin.

Exponence refers to the mapping of morphosyntactic structure to phonological representations, a research area which is not only highly controversial, but also approached in fundamentally different ways in theoretical morphology and phonology.

This volume of new work by prominent phonologists goes to the heart of current debates in phonological and linguistic theory: should the explanation of phonological variety be constraint or rule-based and, in the light of the resolution of this question, how in the mind does phonology interface with other components of the grammar.

About the series Underpinned by an evidence-based approach and academic rigour, Word Study features a teacher-directed, student-centred approach to vocabulary growth and spelling development.

Phonetics is the scientific study of sounds used in language- how the sounds are produced, how they are transferred from the speaker to the hearer and how they are heard and perceived.

First published in 1980, this book questions many of the assumptions that have accumulated around the subject of intonation as it occurs in spontaneous speech, as well as texts read aloud.

Explores how to disrupt banal inequalities through writing in ways which are accessible and challenge current social linguistic regimes.

This book examines the names by which we refer to the letters of the English alphabet, arguing that these letter names provide unrivalled insights into the phonological structure of English, present and past, as well as the many peculiarities of English pronunciation and spelling.

Drawing on extensive corpus-based research, this book explores the nature of coordinate constructions in three case studies.

Knowing that the so-called voiced and voiceless stops in languages like English and German do not always literally differ in voicing, several linguists — among them Roman Jakobson — have proposed that dichotomies such as fortis/lenis or tense/lax might be more suitable to capture the invariant phonetic core of this distinction.

This book provides comprehensive coverage of the Korean alphabet, Hangul, and includes a synthesis of research findings relating to reading in the non-Roman alphabet.

First published in 1996.

This collection investigates the architecture of focus in linguistic theory from different theoretical perspectives.

Research shows that by improving the wellbeing of learners, we also improve their learning.

John Searle''s Speech Acts made a highly original contribution to work in the philosophy of language.

This textbook provides a practical introduction to the fields of forensic phonetics and forensic linguistics.

The Routledge Handbook of Phonetics provides a comprehensive and up-to-date compilation of research, history and techniques in phonetics.

First published in 1952.

This volume is the first to explore the formal linguistic expressions of emotions at different levels of linguistic complexity.

The essays in this volume address a core question regarding the structure of linguistic systems: how much access do the grammatical components - syntax, morphology and phonology - have to each other?

Much of the work currently conducted within the framework of Universal Grammar and language learnability focuses on the acquisition of syntax.

A revival of interest in morphology has occurred during recent years.

This book presents the effects of perceptual training on the perception of English lexical stress in rising intonation by Mandarin-speaking EFL learners in Taiwan, and shows that these effects can be positive as well as negative.

See Volume I (0-89859-367-0) for full description and TOC.

Complexity approaches, developed in physics and biology for almost two decades, show today a huge potential for investigating challenging issues in Humanities and Cognitive Sciences and obviously in the study of language(s).

This book addresses the question whether Educated Indian English is more syllable-timed than British English from two standpoints: production and perception.

Covers the experimental techniques used for investigating coarticulation, the experimental findings, and the theoretical background.

One of the basic grammatical categories in linguistics is the phonological word.

Pronunciation plays a crucial role in learning English as an international language, yet often remains marginalised by educators due to a lack of required phonetic and phonological knowledge.

This book presents the first cross-linguistic study of the phenomenon of infixation, typically associated in English with words like "e;im-bloody-possible"e;, and found in all the world's major linguistic families.

In Morphology the first thing to be considered is the form, and second to that comes the use made of it, in Syntax the order is exactly the reverse, but it is essential that in both parts of the grammar form and use should be mentioned in every case.

A loanword, or wailaici, is a word with similar meaning and phonetic form to a word from a foreign language that has been naturalized in the recipient language.

This book provides a start of defining the uni- and multi-phonational tone systems of geographically-connected dialects under a phonation-pitch tonal model.

This book argues that ideophones provide the ''missing link'' in our knowledge of how communication has evolved to become the spoken language of today.
