HIGHLIGHTS
LANGUAGE IN THE ACADEMYCultural Reflexivity andIntercultural DynamicsJoan Turner (Goldsmiths, University of London)
This book takes a critical look at why issues of language in higher
education are routinely marginalised, despite the growing
internationalisation of universities. It locates the construction of
rhetorical norms and values for academic writing within wider
cultural practices and power relations, and observes the
transformative dynamic of intercultural communication in the
contemporary western academy.

CONTENDING WITH GLOBALIZATIONIN WORLD ENGLISHESEdited by Mukul Saxena (University of Warwick) & Tope Omoniyi(Roehampton University)
The widespread variation in Englishas used for internationalcommunication has provoked acorrespondingly wide variety ofviews about its significance. Thiscollection is an impressive testimonyto how varied these views are, andhow diverse the theoretical andideological perspectives that informthem. There is a good deal in thisstimulating book that calls for thecareful and critical reflection aboutestablished ways of thinking.BARBARA SEIDLHOFER, UNIVERSITY OFVIENNA, AUSTRIA
This book engages with English in globalization, re-examining and
re-interpreting the contemporary contexts of its acquisition and
use. The chapters contained in this book weave together four
inter-related themes that define the role of English in the global
context: the ‘centrality of structure’, ‘relationships of
interdependence’, ‘social constructions of difference’ and
‘reproduction of inequality’.

CODE CHOICE IN THELANGUAGE CLASSROOMGlenn Levine (University of California, Irvine)
Code Choice in the Language Classroom argues that the foreign
language classroom is and should be regarded as a multilingual
community of practice rather than as a perpetually deficient
imitator of an exclusive second-language environment. From a
sociocultural and ecological perspective, Levine guides the reader
through a theoretical, empirical, and pedagogical treatment of
the important roles of the first language, and of code-switching
practices, in the language classroom.

LINGUISTIC LANDSCAPE IN THE CITYEdited by Elana Shohamy (Tel Aviv University), Eliezer Ben-Rafael (Tel Aviv University) & Monica Barni
Arguing that the public space is symbolically constructed by the linguisticlandscape, this book urges us to take a fresh look at the signs around us. Aswe talk, walk, eat, drink, dance, cycle in and through parks, squares,stations, restaurants, streets and alleyways, the multilingual signage of thecity is a central part of urban meaningmaking. From Kiev to Hong Kong,Chinatowns to railway stations, this bookopens up exciting new questions aboutmigration, multilingualism and themanipulation of meaning in the urbancontext, giving us new insights into howlanguages, signs, people and cities interact. ALASTAIR PENNYCOOK, UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY,SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA.
This book focuses on linguistic

MEASURING SECOND LANGUAGEVOCABULARY ACQUISITIONJames Milton (Swansea University)
This volume represents a much needed update on issues in assessingvocabulary. It displays the empirical grounding and rigor that only anestablished scholar like James Milton can provide. A refreshing aspect ofthe book is that the author questions even themost basic preconceived notions that scholarsand teacher practitioners might have aboutwhat it means to know a word and to assessthis knowledge, and that he reports on theresults of his inquiry in an honest and even-handed way.ANDREW COHEN, SECOND LANGUAGE STUDIES,UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, USA
Measuring Second Language
Vocabulary Acquisition describes the
effect that word frequency and lexical
coverage have on learning and communication in a foreign
language. It examines the tools we have for assessing the various
facets of vocabulary knowledge, the scores these produce, and
the way these are tied to exam and communicative performance.

Filled with both enormous erudition andplain commonsense, this book makes aground-breaking contribution to ourunderstandings of the development andimportance of vernacular literacy. Butbeyond the innovative topic of the book,Joshua A. Fishman expands here on anoriginal historical-macrosociolinguistic theoretical approach of 'predictingthe past' that, as he says for literacy, 'vivifies the dead and freezes thelively.' OFELIA GARCÍA, GRADUATE CENTER, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK, USA
In this major new text, Joshua Fishman charts the rise of
vernacular literacy in Europe, and the major social and economic
changes that attended it. Following the story up until the present
day, the book looks at how European colonizers viewed
vernacular literacy efforts in their current and former colonies,
and how technology affects vernacular literacy both now and in
the future.

LANGUAGE USE IN THE TWO-WAY CLASSROOMLessons from a Spanish-EnglishBilingual Kindergarten
Renée DePalma
The numerous rich examples of more and less effectivestrategies and practices within a variety of instructional contexts make thisbook essential reading for educators, parents, students and researchersinterested in second language education. DePalma’s findings will haveimportant implications for program design, interventions, curriculum andinstructional practices in second language learning programs.KATHRYN LINDHOLM-LEARY, PH.D., SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY, USA
Based on an extended ethnographic study of a dual language
(Spanish-English) Kindergarten, this book takes a critical look at
children’s linguistic (and non-linguistic) interactions and the ways
that teaching design can help or hinder language development.
With a focus on official “Spanish time”, it explores the particular
challenges of supporting the minority language use as well as the
teacher’s strategies for doing so. How can teachers design
educational practice that takes into consideration broader forces
of language hegemony as well as children’s immediate interests?

THE LANGUAGE DIFFERENCELanguage and Development in the Greater Mekong Sub-Region
Paulin G Djité (University of Western Sydney)
This book asks whether language makes a difference when it
comes to development, and whether there is a perceptible
difference in development between countries that is attributable
to their choice of language. It answers these questions by
comparing the role of language in Africa and in Southeast Asia
(Cambodia, the Lao PDR, Myanmar and Viet Nam).

HYBRID IDENTITIES AND ADOLESCENT GIRLSBeing 'Half' in Japan
Laurel Kamada
This book examines the ethnic, gendered, and
embodied ‘hybrid’ identities of ‘half-Japanese’
girls in Japan, colourfully narrated through
their own voices. The girls struggle to positively
construct their identities into positions of
control over disempowering discourses of ‘otherness’, while also
celebrating cultural capital as they negotiate their constructed
identities of ‘Japaneseness’, ‘whiteness’ and
‘halfness/doubleness’.

EARLY LEARNING OF MODERNFOREIGN LANGUAGESProcesses and Outcomes
Edited by Marianne Nikolov (University of Pécs)
Teaching foreign languages to young learners iscurrently one of the most exciting challenges for theprofession. This volume gathers sixteen papers whichspan a wide range of topics, including the learners’ cognitive and affectivecharacteristics, their learning processes and outcomes, and the learningconditions inside and outside the classroom. Reporting on a variety ofsettings and concerns, the papers in this volume will broaden perspectivesand give new insights to researchers and teachers in early foreign languageprogrammes. PROFESSOR CARMEN MUÑOZ, UNIVERSITY OF BARCELONA, SPAIN.
Modern languages are taught to young learners at an increasingly
early age, yet few publications focus on what is available to
children in different contexts and classrooms. This book
represents the state-of-the-art in research on young language
learners. Covering a range of languages, contexts and research
methods, it provides insights into how young learners progress.

TESTING THE UNTESTABLEIN LANGUAGE EDUCATIONEdited by Amos Paran (University of London) &Lies Sercu (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven)
The title of this book is well chosen. Despite theapparent oxymoron, this collection of papers succeedsin addressing important issues of educational policyand theory with the precision born of empirical work combined withdiscussion of principles. This book will open new options for testers, forteachers and for those who make policy decisions. MICHAEL BYRAM, SCHOOL OF EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY OF DURHAM, UK
This book investigates the intersections between language
learning and language assessment, and four specific areas within
language learning: learner autonomy, intercultural competence,
literature and literary competence, and the integration of content
and language learning. The book is a valuable addition to the
literature on what are seemingly untestable and unassessable
facets of foreign language competence.

THINKING AND SPEAKING IN TWO LANGUAGESAneta Pavlenko (Temple University)
Until recently, the history of debates about language and thought
has been a history of thinking of language in the singular. The
purpose of this volume is to reverse this trend and to begin
unlocking the mysteries surrounding thinking and speaking in bi-
and multilingual speakers.

THE BILINGUAL MENTAL LEXICONInterdisciplinary Approaches
Edited by Aneta Pavlenko (Temple University)
Conceptions of language representation are changing.Words are not static entries in a mental dictionary.Instead they are part of human communication, evercontextualised in people and their lives, languages,meanings, interactions, and selves. In bringing together lead researchers inthe various relevant disciplines, Aneta Pavlenko produces a compellingaccount of this important new perspective as it applies to bilingualism.Despite its interdisciplinarity, this is rigorous research, with each approachfollowing its own characteristic steps. It is exciting too, as together thesechapters reveal the intricate rhythms of the bilingual lexicon. The approach,and Pavlenko’s enthusiasm, are catching. This is a vibrant and readablevolume – pick it up, and join the dance. NICK ELLIS, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
How are words organized in the bilingual mind? How are they linked
to concepts? How do bi- and multilinguals process words in their
multiple languages? Contributions to this volume offer up-to-date
answers to these questions and provide a detailed introduction to
interdisciplinary approaches used to investigate the bilingual lexicon.

This volume bridges the gap between theory and practice by bringing
together well-known and new authors to discuss a topic of mutual
interest to second language researchers and teachers alike: input.
Reader-friendly chapters offer a range of existing and new
perspectives on input in morphology, syntax, phonetics and phonology.

BODIES AND LANGUAGEHealth, Ailments, Disabilities
Vaidehi Ramanathan (University of California)
In the field of applied linguistics, health issues havetraditionally been examined from an outsiderperspective, as something that happens to others, andis negotiated in conversations between disembodieddoctors and patients. Ramanathan’s ground-breaking book turns thescholarly gaze inwards reminding us that our collective sense of normalcyis but an illusion and our bodies are a material reality. Weaving critical,poststructuralist and psychoanalytic theories together with first-personexperiences of illness and disability, the author analyzes ways in whichbodily and linguistic breakdowns are discursively constructed by theexperiencers and ways in which societal discourses dehumanize our bodies.Raising the veil of silence that until now surrounded body issues and bodyfunctions in our field, this profound, touching, and deeply human bookcreates a new discursive space and provides strong impetus for furtherinquiry into the relationship between bodies, languages, and identities. ANETA PAVLENKO, TEMPLE UNIVERSITY, USA
Focusing on body conditions associated with breast cancer,
Alzheimer’s disease, (type-1) diabetes, epilepsy, partial hearing
and autism, this book draws on a range of critical theories to
contest collectively assembled notions of ‘abnormality,’ ‘disability’
and ‘impairments’ and ways in which they emerge through
language. It also addresses the need for applied sociolinguists to
take account of how our researching practices - the texts we
produce, the orientations we assume, the theoretical grounds
from which we proceed - create ‘meanings’ about bodies and
‘normalcy’, and the importance of remaining ever vigilant and
civically responsible in what we do or claim to do.

THE ACQUISITION OFSOCIOLINGUISTIC COMPETENCEIN A STUDY ABROAD CONTEXTVera Regan (University College Dublin),Martin Howard (University College, Cork) &Isabelle Lemée (St Patrick's College)
This exciting new book represents a significant leapforward for research on the effects of study abroad on second languageacquisition. It focuses on the sociolinguistic competence of second languagelearners in a university setting, an unexplored dimension of this researchstrand. The volume offers a careful documentation and analysis of thecrucial role played by a one-year stay in France on the acquisition of keyaspects of sociostylistic variation in the spoken French of advanced-levelstudents of French as a Second Language. Second language researchers,programme planners, and teachers will undoubtedly find this volume aninsightful and useful resource.RAYMOND MOUGEON
Drawing on cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of a range of
sociolinguistic variables in L2 French, this volume explores the
relationship between 'study abroad' and the acquisition of
sociolinguistic variation patterns by the advanced second
language learner. Within a variationist paradigm, the findings
illuminate a number of issues in relation to the role of speaker
identity, gender, and L2 exposure and contact.

THE IDEA OF ENGLISH IN JAPANIdeology and the Evolution of a Global Language
Philip Seargeant (The Open University)
This is a book that is highly relevant to the globalstudy of applied linguistics. Seargeant’s review of themonocentric/polycentric debate is both clear andsuccinct and at the same time subtle and well-informed. This well-writtenbook draws on a wide-ranging body of literature, which is always germaneto the central argument and never a distraction. The Idea of English inJapan is a thoughtful and thought-provoking work that deserves space onthe bookshelves of anyone interested in the concept of global English.ALISON STEWART, GAKUSHUIN UNIVERSITY, JAPAN, SYSTEM (2010)
This book examines the ways in which English is conceptualised
as a global language in Japan, and considers how the resultant
language ideologies – drawn in part from universal discourses; in
part from context-specific trends in social history – inform the
relationships that people in Japan have towards the language.

THE KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY,LANGUAGE AND CULTUREGlyn Williams
Williams’s latest book offers a thoughtful, original andoften provocative interpretation of the mutualrelationships between the linguistic, the political, thesocial and the economic. The line of argument weavestogether notions that are all too often considered in isolation, and this bookcan be recommended to advanced students and specialists of languagepolicy and the politics of language who seek access to the big picture, alongwith wide-ranging scholarship and genuine intellectual engagement.FRANÇOIS GRIN, UNIVERSITY OF GENEVA, SWITZERLAND.
The world is being reshaped by fundamental changes deriving
from globalisation and the shift from modernity to late modernity.
At the heart of these changes is the knowledge economy. Work in
the knowledge economy operates quite differently than in the
industrial economy in that it is highly dependent on
communication and language. This book considers how language
and culture are relevant to the practices of the knowledge
economy while also considering how the broader changes obliges
us to reconsider the nature of language.

LANGUAGES FOR INTERCULTURALCOMMUNICATION AND EDUCATIONCOLLECTION (VOLS 1-20)
The overall aim of this series is to publish
books which ultimately inform learning and
teaching, but whose primary focus is on the
analysis of intercultural relationships,
whether in textual form or in people's
experience. There are also books which
deal directly with pedagogy, with the
relationships between language learning
and cultural learning, between processes
inside the classroom and beyond. They all
have in common a concern with the relationship between
language and culture, and the development of intercultural
communicative competence.

NEW PERSPECTIVES ON LANGUAGEAND EDUCATION COLLECTION (VOLS 1-20)
Two decades of research and development
in language and literacy education have
yielded a broad, multidisciplinary focus. Yet
education systems face constant economic
and technological change, with attendant
issues of identity and power, community
and culture. What are the implications for
language education of new 'semiotic
economies' and communications
technologies? Of complex blendings of
cultural and linguistic diversity in communities and institutions?
Of new cultural, regional and national identities and practices?
The New Perspectives on Language and Education book series
features critical and interpretive, disciplinary and
multidisciplinary perspectives on teaching and learning, language
and literacy in new times.

Tips for successful book proposals
1 Make sure we are the right publisher for your book
before you send the proposal. Please tell us if you are
submitting to multiple publishers simultaneously.
2 Submit proposals by email not post.
3 State which series you think your book would be
suitable for.
4 Follow our notes on submitting a book proposal
carefully, answering all the questions in a clear, concise
manner.
5 Proposals should not be longer than 4 or 5 pages.
A full CV is not necessary – only a brief one which gives
your most recent affiliation and important publications.
6 Define the possible readership accurately and
realistically. The “interested layperson” rarely exists:
only cite them as a possible audience if you are
prepared to find one!
7 Please take time to research competing and
complementary titles. If there are already several titles
on the market in the same area we need to know why
yours is going to be different or better.
8 Try to make the book to appeal to a wider audience.
Case studies should always be compared to and
referred to other, preferably international, research
on the subject.
9 If your book is based on a PhD, it must be completely
re-written to fit a book format.
10 When submitting your final manuscript, follow our
guidelines carefully. Please pay particular attention
to references.
Promoting Your BookEach book receives individual attention from our marketing
department and is strongly promoted at relevant
conferences. We send review copies to journals and we run
regular targeted direct mail campaigns. Our internet
promotion includes email marketing, website sales and
notification to major booksellers and wholesalers worldwide.
In addition, sales of foreign language rights have increased
enormously in recent years. As well as the major European
languages, foreign language rights have been sold to several
Asian countries including Japan, Korea and Malaysia and to
smaller countries such as Estonia and Latvia. We also have
same language low-price reprint agreements with several
Chinese and Indian publishers.
