Convenors: L铆via K枚rtvelyessy and Thomas Van Hoey Workshop title: When Sounds Speak: Toward a Typology of Sound Symbolism and Iconicity Abstract: The idea of sound symbolism or iconicity as 鈥渋nmost, natural similarity association[s] between sound and meaning鈥� (Jakobson and Waugh 2002: 182) in onomatopoeia and, more broadly, in ideophones, has a long tradition.

Organised by Laure Lansari, Florent Moncomble & Oc茅ane Foubert New modes of discourse have emerged over the last twenty years, linked to a number of technological innovations.

With more than 50 years of teaching experience between them, Ilse Depraetere and Chad Langford present a grammar pitched precisely at advanced learners of English who need to understand how the English language really works without getting stalled in the complex specifics.

After introducing form and function, the authors cover verbs, nouns, aspect and tense

Now available in paperback! This book examines dilemmas faced by second language (L2) Japanese speakers as a result of persistent challenges to their legitimacy as speakers of Japanese.
