Cog­ni­tive Lin­guis­tics and the Study of Chi­nese
Bring­ing togeth­er con­tri­bu­tions from a group of promi­nent researchers, with­in a cog­ni­tive-lin­guis­tic frame­work, this vol­ume sheds light on lin­guis­tic struc­tures and usages char­ac­ter­is­tic of the Chi­nese lan­guage, includ­ing noun-verb inclu­sion, the con­cep­tu­al spa­tial­iza­tion of actions, exis­ten­tial con­struc­tions, con­cep­tu­al struc­tures and coher­ence, idioms and metaphors, lan­guage acqui­si­tion of caused motion, etc.
The con­tri­bu­tions are com­mit­ted to the prin­ci­ple of “con­verg­ing evi­dence” that has been advo­cat­ed in Cog­ni­tive Lin­guis­tics since its incep­tion. Some stud­ies in this vol­ume com­bine intro­spec­tive meth­ods with the­o­ret­i­cal analy­sis, while oth­ers rely on cor­pus-based, exper­i­men­tal and neu­ro­sci­en­tif­ic meth­ods. Fea­tur­ing diverse top­ics and mul­ti­ple meth­ods, this col­lec­tion will be use­ful to read­ers who are inter­est­ed in the gram­mat­i­cal and con­cep­tu­al struc­ture of Chi­nese, as well as in the state-of-the-art of Cog­ni­tive Lin­guis­tics in Chi­na.

His­tor­i­cal con­ti­nu­ity in the emer­gence of mod­ern Hebrew
His­tor­i­cal Con­ti­nu­ity in the Emer­gence of Mod­ern Hebrew offers a new per­spec­tive on the emer­gence process­es of Mod­ern Hebrew and its rela­tion­ship to ear­li­er forms of Hebrew. Based on a tex­tu­al exam­i­na­tion of select case stud­ies of lan­guage use through­out the mod­ern­iza­tion of Hebrew, this book shows that due to the uncon­ven­tion­al soci­olin­guis­tic cir­cum­stances in the bud­ding speech com­mu­ni­ty, lin­guis­tic process­es did not nec­es­sar­i­ly evolve in a lin­ear man­ner, blur­ring the dis­tinc­tion between true and appar­ent his­tor­i­cal con­ti­nu­ity. The emer­gent language’s stan­dard­iza­tion involved the restruc­tur­ing of lin­guis­tic habits that had ini­tial­ly tak­en root among the first speak­ers, often lead­ing to a retreat from ear­ly con­tact-induced or non-clas­si­cal phe­nom­e­na. Yael Reshef demon­strates that as a result, super­fi­cial sim­i­lar­i­ty to ear­li­er forms of Hebrew did not nec­es­sar­i­ly stem from con­ti­nu­ity, and devi­a­tion from canon­i­cal Hebrew fea­tures does not nec­es­sar­i­ly stem from change.
