Adventuring in the Englishes
International scholars and writers offer unique perspectives on the ways English language and literature are changing in a postcolonial world. Flavored with personal experience, their investigations reveal a process of adoption, adaptation, and reinvention.
Translation, History and Arts
This collection of papers on translation, history, and art stands at the frontier of interdisciplinary humanities research. A central theme is developing a new narrative of local histories against the backdrop of world history to advance our understanding of them.
Lenguaje, arte y revoluciones ayer y hoy
This book presents new paradigms in Hispanic literary, cultural, and linguistic studies. It explores artistic manifestations of social change and democracy alongside groundbreaking research on topics from Puerto Rican identity to the pragmatics of humor in film.
Until now, there has not been a book which examines the syntactic and semantic mechanisms of secondary predication in East Asian languages. Shibagaki’s lucid survey is of great value to those interested in secondary predication, syntax, and semantics.
This book casts new light on adult L2 learners’ access to Universal Grammar (UG) by comparing them with child L2 learners. Focusing on the acquisition of English reflexives, the study shows that adult L2 grammar is constrained by UG, with full access possible.
Building Bridges
This book envisions a new, democratic direction for English Studies. By integrating language, literature, and translation, it presents a method that questions norms, equalizes roles between teachers and learners, and empowers both students and translators.
Adventuring in Dictionaries
Adventuring in Dictionaries brings together seventeen papers on the making of dictionaries from the sixteenth century to the present. The diverse perspectives are united by a focus on the making and reading of dictionaries as human activities.

New Language Technologies and Linguistic Research
This collection of papers from the 11th Corpus Linguistics Symposium will inspire readers interested in Linguistics and motivate further research in the interdisciplinary area of Language Technologies and Linguistic Research.
Style, Wit and Word-Play
In memory of David Hawkes, pre-eminent translator of The Story of the Stone. This collection of essays by international scholars explores his work and the art of translating Chinese literature into English.
Banned in China for its truthfulness, this book reveals why “most Chinese are learning English like one learning swimming ashore”—a damning critique of a broken system.
Exploring Space
This two-volume collection offers a comprehensive insight into how the category of space can inform original philological research. The first volume covers cultural and literary studies, while the second refers to English language studies.

In times of great change, this collection of articles examines the need to redefine values. Authors approach the challenge of reconstructing histories, moralities, and social relationships from the perspectives of literary studies and linguistics.
Knowledge, Differences and Identity in the Time of Globalization
The discourse of globalization in higher education reform is troubling. It fails to name a human subject—the student—and its very language antagonizes and marginalizes them. This book explores how this discourse constructs and deconstructs identities.
