Handbook of Terminology
More LessThis book aims to provide an overview of the various methods adopted for terminology planning in the languages under examination. Collectively, the authors will attempt to establish an overall understanding of terminology planning in Europe, starting from an examination of the organizations engaged in terminology planning in different European linguistic contexts. Each chapter will focus on a specific language or language landscape, focusing on issues such as:
- the defining features of these terminology planning institutions, including their size, structure, funding sources, specialization, public recognition, publication methods, and collaborations with other organizations;
- the responsibilities and operational procedures, for example as regards standardization, description, evaluation, quantification of results, dissemination, and terminometry;
- terminology planning versus general language planning;
- the historical development of these institutions and the future prospects for terminology planning in each language or language landscape.
The individual authors will provide an independent overview of one language landscape. Overall, the book tells a fascinating story about how each language handles terminology as an essential linguistic factor in everyday society.

Handbook of Pragmatics
More LessThis encyclopaedia of one of the major fields of language studies is a continuously updated source of state-of-the-art information for anyone interested in language use. The IPrA Handbook of Pragmatics provides easy access – for scholars with widely divergent backgrounds but with convergent interests in the use and functioning of language – to the different topics, traditions and methods which together make up the field of pragmatics, broadly conceived as the cognitive, social and cultural study of language and communication, i.e. the science of language use.
The Handbook of Pragmatics is a unique reference work for researchers, which has been expanded and updated continuously with annual installments since 1995.

Historical Linguistics 2022
More LessThis book offers a peer-reviewed selection of the best and most original contributions to the twenty-fifth International Conference on Historical Linguistics. They faithfully reflect the spirit of the Conference in that they all display a shared passion for the diachronic study of language but also an exciting diversity of research questions, theoretical approaches, linguistic phenomena, and languages explored. Data are drawn from Algonquian, Arandic, Bantu, Cushitic, Edoid, Indo-European, Manchu, Tangkic, Tungusic, and Uralic—among other languages and language-families. In addition to addressing, always with new insights, more traditional concerns of historical linguistics, such as reconstruction, classification, the effects of contact and borrowing, the determinants of morphological, syntactic, phonological, and semantic change, this book presents studies on less conventional topics, for example the diachrony of ideophones.
