Description: During the last years there has been a growing interest in the study of the morphosyntactic behaviour of proper names (Ackermann & Schl眉cker 2017; Dammel & Handschuh 2019; Caro Reina & Helmbrecht 2022; Stolz & Nintemann 2024). From a typological perspective, it has been shown that proper names can, to varying degrees, morphosyntactically differ from common nouns. As a consequence, some scholars speak of a special onymic grammar (N眉bling et al. 2015) while others propose a special a

Cross-Cultural Pragmatics and Foreign Language Learning provides a new ground-breaking approach to the study of second language learning through the lens of cross-cultural pragmatics. Cross-cultural pragmatics involves the use of contrastive linguistic research, supported by a variety of methodologies such as surveys, interviews and discourse completion tests. A key strength of the speech act-centred interactional framework proposed is that it allows the reader to understand difficulties faced b

Political Discourse Analysis addresses the challenges facing political actors at all levels of society and across a range of regimes. It shows how discursive legitimisation strategies can vary on a continuum ranging from the stabilising effects of institutional discourse and the management of destabilising factors inherent in new types of media to the destabilising potential of rhetorical devices and deliberate de-legitimisation strategies used to attack opponents. The diverse approaches show ho

Ten Hacken and Panocov谩 present a systematic overview of how different current morphological theories account for the naming function of word formation. Naming is an essential preliminary step for the effective use of language. In most linguistic theories, word formation is covered as a part of morphology. However, morphological theories, especially those in generative linguistics, tend to focus on the form and structure of words, rather than on their naming function. As a result, it is often no
