The Routledge Handbook of English-Medium Instruction in Higher Education (Routledge Handbooks in Linguistics)
This Handbook discusses the theoretical and disciplinary background to the study of English-medium instruction (EMI) in higher education worldwide. It highlights issues relating to EMI pedagogy, varying motivations for EMI education, and the delivery of EMI in diverse contexts across the world. The spread of English as a teaching medium and the lingua franca of the academic world has been the subject of various debates in recent years on the perceived hegemony of the English language and the ‘domain loss’ of non-English languages in academic communication. Encompassing a wide range of contributions to the field of EMI, the chapters of this Handbook are arranged in four distinct parts: Part I provides an overview of English-medium instruction in higher education worldwide; Part II focusses on EMI in Europe; Part III on EMI in the Middle East, North Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa; and Part IV on EMI in the Asian region. The overall scope and level of expertise of this Handbook provides an unrivalled overview of this field of education. It serves as an essential reference for many courses dealing with applied linguistics, English language education, multilingualism, sociolinguistics, and related subjects at many levels of education, including Master’s and PhD-level studies. This Handbook serves as a valuable edition for university libraries across the world and an essential read for many faculty, undergraduate and postgraduate students, educators, and policymakers.

Constructional and Cognitive Explorations of Contrastive Linguistics
by Annalisa Baicchi Cristiano BrocciasThis book approaches the field of contrastive linguistics from a comparative and robust perspective that combines the tenets of construction grammar and cognitive linguistics. In doing so, it shows how their integration can help to successfully enhance research on contrastivity, by means of updated theoretical frameworks and applied methodologies that combine language and thought. It compares ten different languages and offers analyses of constructions at all levels of the linguistic organization, identifying the cognitive motivations that instantiate the linguistic data retrieved from corpora. Relevant to both cognitive and non-cognitive linguists interested in variation and contrastive approaches, as well as graduate students in these areas, this book makes a significant contribution to existing work on the various types of constructional and discourse-based phenomena in modern languages.

Missionary Grammars and the Language of Translation in Korea (Routledge Studies in East Asian Translation)
by Paweł KidaMissionary Grammars and the Language of Translation in Korea (1876−1910) embraces the Enlightenment period in Korea (1876−1910) after the opening of the so-called Hermit Nation in describing the Korean language and missionary works.This book includes a comprehensive analysis and description of works published at that time by John Ross (1877, 1882), Felix-Clair Ridel (1881), James Scott (1887, 1893), Camille Imbault-Huart (1893), Horace Grant Underwood (1890, 1914), James Scrath Gale (1894, 1903), and Annie Laurie Baird (1911) with the particular focus on missionary activities, linguistic practices, grammatical content, and the language of translation from Korean into a native language. The topic of missionary grammar was raised by Otto Zwartjes (2012, 2018) with a focus on South America, North America, and Portuguese missions in Asia and Africa. Still, so far, Korea had not been mentioned, and there has been missing content about missionary grammar in Korea. A necessary study has been made within the framework of AMG (Average Missionary Grammar). The author has concluded that missionary works played an essential role in the formation of further linguistic research in Korea. The Greek-Latin approach applied by Western missionaries to the language is still relevant in the grammatical description of the Korean language.This book will primarily appeal to Korean language educators, researchers, and historical linguists. Postgraduates interested in missionary grammar will also benefit from the content of this volume.
Fonologia do Português e Interfaces: Fenômenos da Aquisição e da Variação (Routledge Studies in Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics)
by Dermeval Da Hora Carmen Matzenauer Javier Muñoz-BasolsFonologia do Português e Interfaces: Fenômenos da Aquisição e da Variação brings together a collection of studies on phonological acquisition and phonological variation in European and Brazilian Portuguese, addressing topics and proposing analyzes that are little studied in linguistic research in the target language.The eleven chapters foster theoretical debates on the processes underlying both phonological acquisition and variation and show how these are interrelated. They focus on the acquisition of phonology by children as well as adult variation in the use of phonological units in everyday speech, highlighting linguistic processes that occur in both contexts. The volume combines theory and practices with a focus on language teaching and acquisition.The book will be of interest to Lusophony linguists, particularly those interested in phonological acquisition and variation, and should prove useful to linguistic researchers, practitioners, and students of Portuguese in Europe, Latin America, and the US.Fonologia do Português e Interfaces: Fenômenos da Aquisição e da Variação reúne uma coletânea de estudos sobre aquisição fonológica e variação fonológica no Português Europeu e Brasileiro, com a abordagem de tópicos e a proposição de análises pouco estudados na pesquisa linguística na língua-alvo.Os onze capítulos promovem debates teóricos sobre os processos subjacentes tanto à aquisição quanto à variação fonológica e mostram como estão inter-relacionados. Concentram-se em unidades fonológicas na fala cotidiana na aquisição da fonologia por crianças, bem como na variação na fala de adultos, destacando os processos linguísticos que ocorrem em ambos os contextos. O volume combina teoria e prática com foco no ensino e na aquisição da língua.O livro será de interesse para linguistas da Lusofonia, particularmente para aqueles voltados para a aquisição e a variação fonológica, e deverá ser útil para pesquisadores da área da Linguística, para usuários da língua e para estudantes de Português na Europa, na América Latina e nos Estados Unidos.

Identity and Communicative Competence in Spanish for Specific Purposes: Critically Engaging the Community (Routledge Innovations in Spanish Language Teaching)
by Alexis A. Vollmer RiveraIdentity and Communicative Competence in Spanish for Specific Purposes analyzes the experiences of three Spanish for specific purposes (SSP) students, offering insight into the intersectionality of society, politics, identity, and linguistics in community-based settings.Analyses provide empirical evidence to a growing body of work about how experiential language learning (EX-LL) enhances student preparation to utilize target languages in professional services. Ethnographic portraits and discourse analysis also illustrate how EX-LL, such as internships, provides students with opportunities to position and protect their identities using linguistic and extralinguistic resources. Discussions are presented throughout the volume on how to implement EX-LL from a critical perspective that supports students while mutually benefiting community members. Harnessing community members’ stories to contextualise and illustrate the disparities U.S. Hispanic/Latinx communities face in accessing high-quality care and services, the volume proposes SSP as a form of advocacy to narrow this gap while simultaneously enhancing students’ skills in Spanish.Designed for graduate students, educators, researchers, and program developers in SSP, second language acquisition, heritage language pedagogy, and sociolinguistics, this volume will prompt the reader to (re)imagine how language learning traverses society, politics, and identity in community-based settings.

Fundamental Structures of the Chinese Language: Topic-Comment and Other Key Structures
by Taciana Fisac Riccardo MorattoFundamental Structures of the Chinese Language is an exceptional resource for understanding how Chinese grammar functions in natural discourse.This book departs from the conventional approach of superimposing grammatical constructs from English onto Chinese and focuses on the topic–comment structure inherent in the Chinese language. Constructions that are usually considered complex or challenging for students whose mother tongues are subject–verb–object languages will be more easily understandable with this analysis. Simple and complex verbal structures are discussed in depth with the incorporation of the aspect category, which provides an enormous richness of nuances in the internal development of the action, and word order is considered one of the key features of the Chinese language. All the explanations are applied to numerous examples of real Chinese texts.This textbook is a valuable resource for students, teachers, and researchers in Chinese language courses including Chinese translation, Chinese linguistics, and comparison linguistics in general.

The Language of Asian Gestures: Embodied Words Through the Lens of Film (Routledge Studies in East Asian Translation)
by Jieun Kiaer Loli KimThe Language of Asian Gestures explores Asian gestures as a non-verbal language within the context of films and dramas.This book provides a cross-cultural Asian perspective on a range of important common gestures and their meanings, covering a range of Asian regions including Korea, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, India, and Pakistan. While most studies focus on text-based communication, gestures find themselves overshadowed by text and speech. Asian gestures, too, often reside in the shadow of Eurocentric viewpoints. This book will shift this dynamic and amplify the voices that have typically been marginalised within 20th-century Eurocentric discussions.The book will be informative for students and researchers interested in Asian languages, cultures, film studies, and pragmatics. It bridges the gap between words and gestures, unveiling a world of concealed meanings and enriching our understanding of diverse forms of expression.
