    • [, Pragmatics & Beyond New Series]

      Editorial info ► | Author info ►

      Pragmatics & Beyond New Series is a continuation of Pragmatics & Beyond and its Companion Series. The series provides a forum for scholars in any area of pragmatics. It aims at representing the field in its diversity covering different topics and different linguistic and socio-cultural contexts, including various theoretical and methodological perspectives.

      This peer-reviewed series offers a selection of high quality work covering the full richness of Pragmatics as an interdisciplinary field within language sciences. It is committed to innovative research and includes monographs and thematic collections of articles. We welcome submissions with a focus on language use without predefined boundaries for the field and with an explicit interest in work that interacts with other fields such as sociology, anthropology, semantics, historical linguistics, and so on.

    • [, Benjamins Translation Library, Benjamins Translation Library]

      Editorial info ► | Author info ►

      The Benjamins Translation Library (BTL) aims to stimulate research and training in Translation & Interpreting Studies - taken very broadly to encompass the many different forms and manifestations of translational phenomena, among them cultural translation, localization, adaptation, literary translation, specialized translation, audiovisual translation, audio-description, transcreation, transediting, conference interpreting, and interpreting in community settings (courts, police, healthcare, social services, etc.) in the spoken and signed modalities – as well as the fuzzy boundaries between professional and amateur transfer and the crossroads between translation studies and other (sub)disciplines.

      The BTL seeks to revisit and expand the current boundaries of the ever-evolving discipline by providing a forum for exploring this rich array of themes and approaches, in a variety of epistemological, methodological, social, cultural, historical, technological and pedagogical contexts. In the process, it develops - and challenges - existing theoretical and methodological frameworks, or puts existing ones to the test. Each volume represents an original scholarly endeavor - whether in the form of a monograph, a collective volume, a reference work or a postgraduate textbook.

      The European Society for Translation Studies (EST) Subseries is a publication channel within the Library to optimize EST’s function as a forum for the translation and interpreting research community. It promotes new trends in research, gives more visibility to young scholars’ work, publicizes new research methods, makes available documents from EST, and reissues classical works in translation studies which do not exist in English or which are now out of print.

    • [, Human Cognitive Processing]

      Editorial info ► | Author info ►

      The book series Human Cognitive Processing: Cognitive Foundations of Language Structure and Use is a forum for interdisciplinary research on the grammatical structure, semantic organization, and communicative function of language(s), and their anchoring in human cognitive faculties. Accordingly, the series will publish works addressing the nature of cognitive systems and processes involved in speaking and understanding natural language(s) – including their connections to general knowledge, behavior, and perception – and the relation between language and thought.

      The series is open to any type of theoretical and methodological approach to the above questions and to research from any discipline concerned with them, including but not restricted to cognitively oriented branches of linguistics, semiotics, psychology, anthropology, philosophy, artificial intelligence and computer science, and neuroscience. Publications in the series may be monographs or thematic collective volumes, in the English language.

    • [, Constructional Approaches to Language]

      Editorial info ► | Author info ►

      The series brings together research conducted within different constructional models and makes them available to scholars and students working in this and other, related fields.

      The topics range from descriptions of grammatical phenomena in different languages to theoretical issues concerning language acquisition, language change, and language use. The foundation of constructional research is provided by the model known as Construction Grammar (including Frame Semantics). The book series publishes studies in which this model is developed in new directions and extended through alternative approaches. Such approaches include cognitive linguistics, conceptual semantics, interaction and discourse, as well as typologically motivated alternatives, with implications both for constructional theories and for their applications in related fields such as communication studies, computational linguistics, AI, neurology, psychology, sociology, and anthropology.

      This peer reviewed series is committed to innovative research and will include monographs, thematic collections of articles, and introductory textbooks.

    • [, Dialogue Studies]

      Editorial info ► | Author info ►

      The series "Dialogue Studies" takes the notion of dialogicity as central; it starts from the classical view of ‘language as dialogically directed’ and encompasses every type of language use, workaday, institutional and literary.

      By covering the whole range of language use, the growing field of dialogue studies comes close to pragmatics and studies in discourse or conversation. The concept of dialogicity, however, provides a clear methodological profile and allows us to structure the pragmatic ‘perspective’ and the ‘pan-discipline’ of discourse. It focuses on methodological premises such as: action and reaction; the integration of the human abilities of speaking, thinking and perceiving; dialogic interaction as the intentional effort to pursue definable goals and interests.

      The series aims to cross disciplinary boundaries and considers a genuinely interdisciplinary approach necessary for addressing the complex phenomenon of dialogic language use. All disciplines that deal with the human ability of dialogic interaction from different perspectives, in everyday interaction as well as in institutional contexts, are addressed: linguistics, philosophy, psychology, sociology, rhetoric, anthropology, applied linguistics, culture sciences, the media sciences, economics, jurisprudence.

      The current state of research in science in general is characterized by a turning point from closed rule-governed models to open models of probability. In this sense, Dialogue Studies aims to support new ways of theorizing and opens up innovative cross-disciplinary advances in the complex. The series will be of interest to existing theoretical approaches to competence as well as empirical approaches to performance, bridging the gap between competence and performance by focusing on human beings and their competence-in-performance.

      This peer reviewed series will include monographs, thematic collections of articles, and introductory textbooks in the relevant areas.

    • [, Task-Based Language Teaching]

      Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) is an educational framework for the theory and practice of teaching second or foreign languages. It is based on a constellation of ideas issuing from philosophy of education, theories of second language acquisition, empirical findings on effective instructional techniques, and the exigencies of language learning in contemporary society. Though there is broad interest in the potential value of TBLT to foster worthwhile language teaching and learning, there is also considerable diversity in the theoretical scope, applied practice, and research that corresponds with the TBLT name.

      In concert with current interest in Task-Based Language Teaching, this book series is devoted to the dissemination of TBLT issues and practices, and to fostering improved understanding and communication across the various clines of TBLT work. As series editors, we seek to publish cutting-edge work that defines and advances the domain. Empirical research, theoretical discourse, and well-informed practical applications of TBLT constitute the core features highlighted in the series. We welcome edited as well as authored volumes, and we invite submissions related to the full diversity of language education contexts, including bi- and multi-lingual, heritage, second, foreign, child, and adult language learning.

      The targeted audiences for this series include students, scholars, practitioners, and policy makers around the globe. Key among these are: 1) University undergraduate and graduate students engaged in courses of study related to language teaching, applied linguistics, second language studies, second language acquisition, and other fields; 2) Academics conducting research and teaching on TBLT, language pedagogy, second language acquisition, and related disciplines; 3) Educators and policy makers concerned with work at the interface between instructional practice and the value of language learning in schools and for the benefit of individuals and society.

    • [, Language Faculty and Beyond]

      Editorial info ► | Author info ►

      Language Faculty and Beyond (LFAB) focuses on research that contributes to a deeper understanding of the properties of languages as a result of the Language Faculty and its interface with other domains of the mind/brain. The research agenda pursued in LFAB; reflects the program established after more than five decades of generative inquiry and builds bridges with other domains in the spirit of earlier cognitive traditions, such as the classic work of Plato or the Cartesian view of the mind. LFAB will address properties of the Language Faculty as defined for the domains of macro- and micro-variation across languages.

      While the series will pay particular attention to the traditional tension between descriptive and explanatory adequacy, the series will also address issues such as the level of linguistic design, through new lines of inquiry often referred to as ‘physiological linguistics’ or ‘biolinguistics’. LFAB aims to publish studies from the point of view of internal and external factors which bear on the nature of linguistic variation as, for example, understood in the minimalist approach to language, and make accessible aspects of the research that are relevant to broader issues, among them neurological and physiological/psychological evidence that bear on the nature of language in a more narrow sense.
