From Julia.Ulrich at DEGRUYTER.COM Wed Jul 21 21:45:42 2004 From: Julia.Ulrich at DEGRUYTER.COM (Julia Ulrich) Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2004 17:45:42 EDT Subject: Leitner, Australia's Many Voices (2004) Message-ID: ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- New Publication from Mouton de Gruyter Gerhard Leitner AUSTRALIA'S MANY VOICES Australian English - The National Language 2004. xv, 395 pages. Cloth. EUR 98.00 / sFr 157.00 / approx. US$ 118.00 ISBN 3-11-018194-0 (Contributions to the Sociology of Language 90.1) http://www.degruyter.de/rs/bookSingle.cfm?id=IS-3110181940-1&l=E Date of Publication: July 2004 Australia's English raises many questions among experts and the general public. What is it like? How has English changed by being transplanted to other parts of the world? Does the rise of Australian English and other varieties endanger the role of English as a world language? Past studies have often been selective, focusing on the esoteric and non-typical, and ignoring the contact situation in which Australian English has developed. This book and its companion, Australia's Many Voices. Ethnic Englishes, Indigenous and Migrant Languages. Policy and Education, develop and apply a comprehensive and integrative approach that anchors English in the entire "habitat" of Australia's languages that it both upset and transformed. Based on a wide range of data and on the assumption that all manifestations of Australian English must cohere as a system, this book retraces the social, psycholinguistic and linguistic history of the language. It locates the contact with indigenous and migrant languages and with American English in the appropriate sociohistorical context and shows how several layers of migration have shaped it. As it stratified, it was gradually accepted and developed into a fully-fledged national variety or epicentre of English that could be raised to the status of national language. Implications on educational policy and attempts to reach out into the Asia-Pacific region have followed logically from national status. Gerhard Leitner is Professor of English at the Free University, Berlin. TO BE PUBLISHED IN SEPTEMBER 2004 Gerhard Leitner AUSTRALIA'S MANY VOICES Ethnic Englishes, Indigenous and Migrant Languages.

US$ 118.00 ISBN 3-11-018195-9 (Contributions to the Sociology of Language 90.2) Australia's Englishes, its indigenous, migrant and contact lan-guages and wide-ranging language policies are well-known. Based on extensive research, Census and other data, this book develops a comprehensive and integrative approach to Australia's language habitat and the transformation of the indigenous habitats since colonization. Linking social history, linguistic development and political and educational perspectives of language policy and planning, it provides a succinct overview of this segment of Australia's many voices and shows how it relates to Australian English, the national language.

From Julia.Ulrich at DEGRUYTER.COM Thu Jul 22 14:30:44 2004 From: Julia.Ulrich at DEGRUYTER.COM (Julia Ulrich) Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2004 10:30:44 EDT Subject: Complex Predicates in Oceanic Languages, edited by Isabelle Bril and Francoise Ozanne-Rivierre (2004) Message-ID: ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- NEW PUBLICATION FROM MOUTON DE GRUYTER COMPLEX PREDICATES IN OCEANIC LANGUAGES Studies in the Dynamics of Binding and Boundness Edited by Isabelle Bril and Françoise Ozanne-Rivierre 2004. xi, 398 pages. Cloth. EUR 118.00 / sFr 189.00 / approx. US$ 142.00 ISBN 3-11-018188-6 (Empirical Approaches to Language Typology 29) Date of publication: July 2004 http://www.degruyter.de/rs/bookSingle.cfm?id=IS-3110181886-1&l=E Serial verbs and complex predicates have a long history of research, yet there is comparatively little documentation on Oceanic languages. This volume presents new data for further typological studies. While previous research on serial verbs in Oceanic languages was mostly devoted to "core" serial constructions (with non-contiguous sV(o)sV(o) nuclei), this volume contributes a more detailed investigation of the "nuclear" type of complex predicates involving contiguous sVV(o) nuclei. Complex predicates of the form VV may correspond to two different syntactic structures, either co-ranking or hierarchized (head-modifier). Though the VV pattern does evidence a tendency to-wards structural compression, often entailing the fusion of the argument structures of two or more nuclei, yet it cannot be reduced to cases of co-lexicalization, com-pounding or grammaticalization. The data also show the "nuclear" type to be compatible with all types of basic word orders (VSO, VOS, SVO, SOV), with no evidence that this results from any word order change. This challenges the claim that "nuclear" serialization correlates with verb-final order, and "core" serialization with verb-medial order. Isabelle Bril and Françoise Ozanne-Rivierre are Researchers at the LACITO-CNRS in Villejuif, France.
