Subject: Typological Ling: In Honour of Vladimir Nedjalkov, Demonstratives
John Benjamins Publishing announces the availability of two new works in

Rest of world: 90 272 3053 6 / NLG 190.00 (Hardcover)
This collection presents typological work on tense, aspect, and
epistemic modality in a variety of languages and against the
background of different schools of thinking, among which the
St. Petersburg Typological School developed and so masterfully
implemented by the Petersburg linguist, Vladimir Petrovich
Nedjalkov. The volume honors this reputed scholar for his life
work. It is in mainly this spirit (and the EUROTYPE spirit) that the
following scholars have contributed to the volume: T.Tsunoda on
Warrungu (Australian indigeneous language), L. Kulikov on Vedic,
K. Kiryu on Japanese, Korean and Newari, N. Sumbatova on Svan (from
the Kartvelian group), T.Bulygina & A. Shmelev on Russian, W. Boeder
on Georgian, R. Thieroff on aorist and imperfect in European
languages, Y. Poupynin on Russian, L. Johanson on Kipchak Turkic,
I. Dolinina on Russian, N. Kozintseva on Old and Modern Eastern
Armenian, Ch. Lee on Korean, W. Abraham on split ergative languages

All languages have demonstratives, but their form, meaning and use
vary tremendously across the languages of the world. This book
presents the first large-scale analysis of demonstratives from a
cross-linguistic and diachronic perspective. It is based on a
representative sample of 85 languages. The first part of the book
analyzes demonstratives from a synchronic point of view, examining
their morphological structures, semantic features, syntactic
functions, and pragmatic uses in spoken and written discourse. The
second part concentrates on diachronic issues, in particular on the
development of demonstratives into grammatical markers. Across
languages demonstratives provide a frequent historical source for
definite articles, relative and third person pronouns, nonverbal
copulas, sentence connectives, directional preverbs, focus markers,
expletives, and many other grammatical markers. The book describes the
different mechanisms by which demonstratives grammaticalize and argues
that the evolution of grammatical markers from demonstratives is
crucially distinct from other cases of grammaticalization.

Subject: Socioling: Sociopolitical Perspectives on Lang Policy in the USA
John Benjamins Publishing announces the availablity of this new work in
Sociolinguistics:
Sociopolitical Perspectives on Language Policy and Planning in the USA.
With assistance from Joseph Lo Bianco.
Thom HUEBNER and Kathryn A. DAVIS (eds.)
Studies in Bilingualism 16
US & Canada: 1 55619 735 7 / USD 90.00 (Hardcover)
Rest of world: 90 272 4123 6 / NLG 180.00 (Hardcover)
This volume is the result of a colloquium on socio-political
dimensions of language policy and language planning held at the 1997
American Association of Applied Linguistics (AAAL) Conference. The
focus is on language planning and policy in the USA, but the issues
raised will be applicable to other parts of the world as well.
Three broad issues are addressed: general aspects, case studies
dealing with certain languages or ethnic groups, and language planning
in practice. The first, general, part, provides a historical analysis
of language planning and language policy in the US, and proceeds to
deal with maintenance and loss of indigenous languages, and the
constraints imposed by current policies and how these constraints can
be effectively dealt with. The second part contains a number of case
studies. It discusses aspects of planning policies pertaining to
pidgin languages, gestural languages used by the deaf (ASL) and
constraints in foreign language education; this part also raises
issues relating to ethnic groups, concentrating on the position of
Mexicans and Puerto Ricans in the US. In the third part some practical
issues are raised by looking into the role of language and culture in
teaching reading, foreign language policy in higher education,
Hawaiian language regenisis, and gender neutralization in American
English.
The book is a tribute to Charlene Junko Sato, a sociolinguist and a
language activist. She died in 1996 and will be remembered for her
work not only in linguistics, but also for her dedication in advancing
Hawaiian Pidgin, influencing language policy through various
publications and court-room appearances.
