Linguistic enclaves and/or islands are communities whose spoken variety differs from that of the surrounding majority, often preserved through geographical, social, or political separation. Whether they are long-established diaspora varieties, historical settler languages, or indigenous communities encircled by an official standard language, enclave languages offer rich insights in a variety of linguistic issues. Having long coexisted in regions of intense multilingualism, migration, and shif

SUMMARY Feiyang Tian’s Chineses in the Diaspora examines the multilingual practices of Chinese immigrants in Los Angeles (LA). They propose and examine an “LA Mandarin” justified by historical language contact between the Chineses practiced by this particular expatriate community (p. 2); following the classification system of Chineses proposed by Leung & Wu (2011, 2012). More specifically, the terminological choice of “Chineses” respects the internal language boundaries where certain constitu

Metaperspectives in Contemporary Literary Fiction offers a literary-linguistic investigation of hypothesis and the metaperspective within contemporary Booker Prize-winning novels. This highly innovative book introduces a new concept in the field of stylistics , but it also explores it through analyses of highly relevant concepts and areas of stylistic study. Adam applies the concept of the metaperspective, centring on the thoughts of characters about other characters' views of them, to conte

Language comprehension relies on memory. In many cases, we need information scattered throughout an utterance to arrive at its meaning. Consider the sentence: "Mary, who was really, really tired, passes the bag to Suzy." To understand who is doing the passing, we need to retrieve the word "Mary" when reading "passes the bag". To date, extensive research has investigated memory operations involved in processing syntactic dependencies within a sentence. This dissertation extends that research by

Children’s vocabulary acquisition starts with the challenge of speech segmentation: dividing continuous speech into words. One way of finding the boundaries between words is by tracking the transitional probabilities between syllables, a process named Statistical Learning (SL). These probabilities reflect the chance that one syllable is followed by a certain other syllable, and a low chance indicates a likely word boundary. SL ability varies across individuals, and this variation is related to d

This work presents a first broad and systematic grammar sketch of Bangala, a contact language of Central Africa spoken by approximately 2 to 3 million speakers in the northeastern parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Like Lingala, Bangala’s “sister language”, it emerged in the late 19th century from the pidginization of Bobangi in the context of very early colonial and missionary activities. Later introduced by the colonial state as a lingua franca, Bangala spread widely across areas north

The book offers a fresh and multifaceted exploration of Czech clitics, drawing on historical, phonological, syntactic, and nanosyntactic perspectives. Individual chapters investigate key questions such as the role of morphological structure and phonological constraints in clitic ordering, phonological patterns in spoken Czech, and the challenges of clitic placement. Contributions also deal with the behavior of the intransitivizing reflexive SE, and examine broader theoretical implications for cl
