THIS WEEK'S PRIZES:

>From Cambridge University Press:

Jones -- Viral Discourse
(https://www.cambridge.org/gb/academic/subjects/languages-linguistics/applied-
linguistics-and-second-language-acquisition/viral-discourse?format=PB)

Description: This Element consists of ten short pieces written by prominent
discourse analysts in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each piece focuses
on a different aspect of the pandemic, from the debate over wearing face masks
to the metaphors used by politicians and journalists in different countries to
talk about the virus. Each of the pieces also makes use of a different
approach to analysing discourse (e.g. Critical Discourse Analysis, Genre
Analysis, Corpus Assisted Discourse Analysis) and demonstrates how that
approach can be applied to a small set of data. The aim of the Element is to
show how the range of tools available to discourse analysts can be brought to
bear on a pressing, 'real-world' problem, and how discourse analysis can
contribute to formulating 'real-world' solutions to the problem.

McIntosh, Mendoza-Denton -- Language in the Trump Era
(https://www.cambridge.org/gb/academic/subjects/languages-linguistics/sociolin
guistics/language-trump-era-scandals-and-emergencies?format=PB

Description: Early in his campaign, Donald Trump boasted that 'I know words. I
have the best words', yet despite these assurances his speech style has sown
conflict even as it has powered his meteoric rise. If the Trump era feels like
a political crisis to many, it is also a linguistic one. Trump has repeatedly
alarmed people around the world, while exciting his fan-base with his
unprecedented rhetorical style, shock-tweeting, and weaponized words. Using
many detailed examples, this fascinating and highly topical book reveals how
Trump's rallying cries, boasts, accusations, and mockery enlist many of his
supporters into his alternate reality. From Trump's relationship to the truth,
to his use of gesture, to the anti-immigrant tenor of his language, it
illuminates the less obvious mechanisms by which language in the Trump era has
widened divisions along lines of class, gender, race, international relations,
and even the sense of truth itself.

Sandoval, Denham -- Thinking like a Linguist
(https://www.cambridge.org/gb/academic/subjects/languages-linguistics/english-
language-and-linguistics-general-interest/thinking-linguist-introduction-scien
ce-language?format=PB)

Description: This is an engaging introduction to the study of language for
undergraduate or beginning graduate students, aimed especially at those who
would like to continue further linguistic study. It introduces students to
analytical thinking about language, but goes beyond existing texts to show
what it means to think like a scientist about language, through the
exploration of data and interactive problem sets. A key feature of this text
is its flexibility. With its focus on foundational areas of linguistics and
scientific analysis, it can be used in a variety of course types, with
instructors using it alongside other information or texts as appropriate for
their own courses of study. The text can also serve as a supplementary text in
other related fields (Speech and Hearing Sciences, Psychology, Education,
Computer Science, Anthropology, and others) to help learners in these areas
better understand how linguists think about and work with language data. No
prerequisites are necessary. While each chapter often references content from
the others, the three central chapters on sound, structure, and meaning, may
be used in any order.
