Optimality Theory
René Kager, University of Utrecht, The Netherlands
This is an introduction to Optimality Theory, whose central idea is
that surface forms of language reflect resolutions of conflicts
between competing constraints. The book does not limit its empirical
scope to phonological phenomena, but also contains chapters on the
learnability of OT grammars; OT's implications for syntax; and other
issues such as opacity. Exercises accompany chapters 1-7, and there
are sections on further reading. Optimality Theory will be welcomed by
any linguist with a basic knowledge of derivational Generative
Phonology.

Bilinguality and Bilingualism
Second Edition
Josiane Hamers, Université Laval, Québec
Michel Blanc, Emeritus, University of London
This updated and revised edition of Hamers and Blanc's successful
textbook presents new knowledge about languages in contact from
individual bilinguality to societal bilingualism. It is multi- and
interdisciplinary in approach, and analyzes bilingualism at
individual, interpersonal, and societal levels. Linguistic, cognitive
and sociocultural aspects of bilingual development are explored, as
are bilingual problems. The authors cover a range of issues including
the relationship among culture, identity, and language behavior in
multicultural settings; communication strategies in interpersonal and
intergroup relations; language shift; pidgins and creoles; language
planning; and bilingual education.
Contents:
Foreword to the second edition; Preface; Introduction; 1. Definitions
and guiding principles; 2. Dimensions and measurement of bilinguality
and bilingualism; 3. The ontogenesis of bilinguality; 4. Bilinguality:
cognitive development and the sociocultural context; 5. The social and
psychological foundations of bilinguality; 6. Bilinguality:
neuropsychological foundations; 7. Information processing in the
bilingual; 8. Social psychological aspects of bilinguality: culture
and identity; 9. Social psychological aspects of bilinguality:
intercultural communication; 10. Societal bilingualism, intergroup
relations and sociolinguistic variations; 11. Bilingual education;
Conclusion; Notes; Glossary; References; Subject index; Author index.
