Abstract:

This book includes a selection of papers in linguistics presented at the 14th
Conference on British and American Studies. Its tripartite structure reflects
the main topics around which the nineteen contributions cluster. The first
part, “Native language profiling: explorations and findings”, displays a
variety of methodological approaches aimed at highlighting syntactic,
morphological, and lexico-semantic aspects of, primarily, English and
Romanian. The papers in the second section, “Aspects of language change,
bilingualism, and cross-linguistic variation”, bring to the fore some of the
topical issues falling within the ambit of language contact, such as mixed
languages, bilingualism, and code-switching, as well as contrastive
investigations of language structure. The research strand in the final part,
“Meaning and communication within and across cultures”, relates to
lexico-pragmatic inquiries into the construction of meaning, focusing on the
“language beyond language”, as well as on the extent to which the lexical and
pragmatic repertoires of various languages can be made to overlap.
