Passives Cross-LinguisticallyTheoretical and Experimental ApproachesEdited by Kleanthes K. Grohmann, University of Cyprus, Akemi Matsuya, Takachiho University, and Eva-Maria Remberger, University of Vienna
Ten lectures on field semantics and semantic typologyJürgen Bohnemeyer, University at Buffalo
The Essence of Linguistic AnalysisAn Integrated ApproachR.M.W. Dixon, James Cook University
The volume Passives Cross-Linguistically provides analyses of passive constructions across different languages and popula-tions from the interface perspec-tives between syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. In addition to the theoretical contributions, some experimental works are presented, which explore pas-sives from psycholinguistic per-spectives.
These lectures provide one of the first comprehensive introduc-tions to semantic typology, the study of crosslinguistic varia-tion in how languages represent reality. In addition, they survey research methods for field se-mantics, the study of linguistic meaning under fieldwork condi-tions.
In The Essence of Linguistic Analysis by R. M. W. Dixon re-lates together, in a clear and suc-cinct manner, individual gram-matical categories, showing their dependencies and locating each in its place within the overall tapestry of a language.
READERSHIP: These lectures are directed at students and scholars in linguistics and neighboring disciplines with an interest in linguistic meaning especially as it intersects with culture and nonverbal cognition.
READERSHIP: All interested in modern approaches to passive constructions in both theo-retical and empirical detail from different languages as well as psycholinguistic applications to language processing, acquisition, and pathology.
READERSHIP: Advanced under-graduate and graduate students plus faculty in Linguistics and Anthropological Linguistics.

Experiential Verbs in Homeric GreekA Constructional ApproachSilvia Luraghi, University of Pavia
In Experiential Verbs in Homeric Greek:.A Constructional Approach Silvia Luraghi offers a comprehensive account of construction variation with two-place verbs belonging to different sub-domains of experience (including bodily sensation, perception, cognition, emotion and volitionality) in the Homeric language. Traditionally, variation is ascribed to the independent meaning of cases that mark the second argument, and explanations have
focused on properties of the latter. By taking a con-structional approach, the author shows that con-struction variation also brings about differences in the conceptualization of the subject/experiencer by pointing to different degrees of control and awareness. Variation is then shown to reflect the embodied construal of experience along with the social dimension of emotions.

The Language of the Old-Okinawan Omoro SōshiReference Grammar, with Textual SelectionsLeon A. Serafim and Rumiko Shinzato, Georgia Institute of Technology
The Omoro Sōshi (1531–1623) is an indispensable resource for histori-cal linguistic comparison of Old Okinawan with other Ryukyuan languages and Old Japanese. Leon A Serafim and Rumiko Shinzato offer a reference grammar, including detailed phonological analyses, of the otherwise opaque and dense poetic/religious language of the Omoro Sōshi. Meshing Western linguistic insight with existing liter-ary/linguistic work in Ryukyuan studies, and incorporating their own research on Modern Okinawan, the authors offer a grammar and phonology of the Omoro language, with selected (excerpts of) songs grammatically analyzed, phonologically reconstructed, translated, and annotated.

A Descriptive and Comparative Grammar of Western Old Japanese (2 vols.)Revised, Updated and Enlarged Second EditionAlexander Vovin
This is the revised, updated and enlarged second edition of the first detailed descriptive grammar in English (indeed, in any language other than Japanese and more complete than even any grammar in Japanese) dedicated to the Western Old Japanese, which was spoken in the Kansai region of Japan during the seventh and eighth centu-ries. The grammar is divided into two volumes, with the first volume dealing with sources, script, phonology, lexicon, nominals and adjectives. The second volume focuses on verbs, adverbs, particles, conjunctions and interjections. In addition to descriptive data, the grammar also includes comparisons between Western Old Japanese and Eastern Old Japanese and Ryukyuan, occasionally with a critical analysis of various external parallels.
READERSHIP: This volume is of interest to all historical syntacti-cians and historial linguists, as well as to specialists within Indo-European, Semitic, Austronesian and native American languages.

Click ConsonantsEdited by Bonny Sands, Northern Arizona University
Something out of NothingThe Semantics and Pragmatics of Implicit QuantificationAriel Cohen, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
Click Consonants is an indispens-able volume for those who want to explore cutting-edge research on the linguistics of this remark-able yet oft-overlooked class of consonants.
In this book, Ariel Cohen makes the novel proposal that an im-plicit quantifier isn’t simply an empty category, but is generated by well-defined reinterpretation mechanisms. He demonstrates how this theory naturally ac-counts for puzzling properties of implicit quantification.

Austroasiatic Syntax in Areal and Diachronic PerspectiveEdited by Mathias Jenny, University of Zurich, Paul Sidwell, Sydney University, and Mark Alves, Montgomery College
