This chapter summarizes recent work on expressive meaning within a variety of linguistic frameworks and concludes that linguistic research on the formal means of expressing emotions is still understudied across different linguistic complexity levels. Based on this thematic introduction, the chapter provides an overview of the present volume, highlighting common concepts and ideas of the individual chapters, but also stressing important differences in how expressive meaning is investigated.

AbstractThis article discusses how in Howard Barker’s recent work the idea of the subject’s crisis hinges on the introduction of an impersonal or transpersonal life force that persists beyond human agency. The article considers Barker’s metaphorical treatment of the images of land and stone and their interrelationship with the human body, where the notion of subjective crisis results from an awareness of objective forces that transcend the self. In “Immense Kiss” (2018) and “Critique of Pure Feeling” (2018), the idea of crisis, whilst still dominant, seems to lose its intermittent character of singular rupture and reveals itself as a permanent force of dissolution and reification. In these plays, the evocation of nonhuman nature in the love relationships between young men and elderly women affirms the existence of something that goes beyond the individual, which Barker approaches with a late-style poetic sensibility.

Social Pluralism

AbstractIn his most recent work, John Rawls argues that political theory must recognize and accomodate the ‘fact of pluralism’, including the fact of religious diversity. He believes that the liberal commitment to individual rights provides the only feasible model for accomodating religious pluralism. In the paper, I discuss a second form of tolerance, based on group rights rather than individual rights. Drawing on historical examples, I argue that this is is also a feasible model for accomodating religious pluralism. While both models ensure tolerance between groups, only the former tolerates individual dissent within groups. To defend the individual rights model, therefore, liberals must appeal not only to the fact of social pluralism, but also to the value of individual autonomy. This may require abandoning Rawls’s belief that liberalism can and should be defended on purely ‘political’, rather than ‘comprehensive’ grounds.

Antigen Presenting

Abstract Myeloid antigen-presenting cells (APCs), regulatory cells, and the HLA-G molecule are involved in modulating immune responses and promoting tolerance. APCs are known to induce regulatory cells and to express HLA-G as well as 2 of its receptors; regulatory T cells can express and act through HLA-G; and HLA-G has been directly involved in the generation of regulatory cells. Thus, interplay(s) among HLA-G, APCs, and regulatory cells can be easily envisaged. However, despite a large body of evidence on the tolerogenic properties of HLA-G, APCs, and regulatory cells, little is known on how these tolerogenic players cooperate. In this review, we first focus on key aspects of the individual relationships between HLA-G, myeloid APCs, and regulatory cells. In its second part, we highlight recent work that gathers individual effects and demonstrates how intertwined the HLA-G/myeloid APCs/regulatory cell relationship is.

Argument Roles

The previous work for event extraction has mainly focused on the predictions for event triggers and argument roles, treating entity mentions as being provided by human annotators. This is unrealistic as entity mentions are usually predicted by some existing toolkits whose errors might be propagated to the event trigger and argument role recognition. Few of the recent work has addressed this problem by jointly predicting entity mentions, event triggers and arguments. However, such work is limited to using discrete engineering features to represent contextual information for the individual tasks and their interactions. In this work, we propose a novel model to jointly perform predictions for entity mentions, event triggers and arguments based on the shared hidden representations from deep learning. The experiments demonstrate the benefits of the proposed method, leading to the state-of-the-art performance for event extraction.

Expressive Dimension

The study of the language-emotion interface has so far mainly concentrated on the conceptual dimension of emotions as expressed via language. This volume is the first to exclusively focus on the exploration of the formal linguistic expressions of emotions at different linguistic complexity levels—and it does so by integrating work from different linguistic frameworks: generative syntax, functional and usage-based linguistics, formal semantics/pragmatics, and experimental phonology. This collection is both a timely and an original contribution to the growing field of research on the interaction between linguistic expressions and the so-called ‘expressive dimension’ of language. The contributions to this volume are thus of interest to researchers and graduate students who would like to learn more about state-of-the-art approaches to the language-emotion interface.

This article reviews how the analytics of governmentality have been taken up by scholars in linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics, and applied linguistics. It explores the distinctive logics of “linguistic governmentality” understood as techniques and forms of expertise that seek to govern, guide, and shape (rather than force) linguistic conduct and subjectivity at the level of the population or the individual. Governmentality brings new perspectives to the study of language ideologies and practices informing modernist and neoliberal language planning and policies, the technologies of knowledge they generate, and the contestations that surround them. Recent work in this vein is deepening our understanding of “language”—understood as an array of verbal and nonverbal communicative practices—as a medium through which neoliberal governmentality is exercised. The article concludes by considering how a critical sociolinguistics of governmentality can address some shortcomings in the study of governmentality and advance the study of language, power, and inequality.

Unlike stanzaic poetry in colloquial Arabic (zaǧal) from al-Andalus the very rich and diverse zaǧal tradition of the Arab East from its rise in the 12th century to the end of the Mamluk era has remained almost completely unexplored. The present volume closes this lacuna. Hakan Özkan shows how important this literary form was throughout that period, how it built a bridge between illiterates and elite poets, and finally, how one can draw a line from its beginnings in al-Andalus up to the zaǧals of the present. In addition to text-based analyses of exemplary poems, the study draws on poetics, linguistics, historical dialectology, literary history, and other approaches, that transcend the individual poems, including the exploration of their musical and performative aspects, their "Sitz im Leben", and their economic, political, and social backgrounds.

Purpose The purpose of this report was to describe the nature of word-final repetition (WFR) in an adult with normal intelligence and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Method A 25-year-old man completed speaking tasks that differed in linguistic complexity to examine the nature of his WFRs and the effect a stimulant medication had on his frequency of WFR. Results WFR occurred as a single iteration on sentences containing 2 or more clauses and occurred most often during monologue speaking tasks, on the final complete syllable of multisyllabic words, on content words, and on words in the utterance-final position. A minimal increase in WFR occurred when the participant completed a speaking task with a stimulant medication than the same speaking task without a stimulant medication. Conclusion Findings are similar to previous cases of WFR among school-age children, which have reported the majority of WFRs during propositional speaking tasks and a limited awareness of WFR. Linguistic, motor, coexisting conditions, and genetic explanations of WFR are considered relative to this case. Intervention of WFR should consider the individual needs of the client and the client's awareness of WFR.

Insight Into

The article is a preface for a thematic issue devoted to the study of communication in terms of strategies and tactics of speech behavior. The author sees the reasons for the strong attention to the analysis of speech behavior in anthropocentrism, which has become the leading approach in linguistic research in recent decades. The concept of strategy allows us to comprehend the individual speech actions of the speaker as the implementation of a consistent cognitive plan. A brief insight into the history of the study of communicative strategies and tactics abroad and in Russia is presented. The main fields in communicative research are indicated, where the concepts of strategy and tactics are used. It is noted that most of the research is devoted to the description of strategies and tactics in specific social spheres or institutions and the means of their language manifestation. A review of articles in the thematic issue allows you to see the variety of possible applications of the theory of strategic communication to the analysis of modern discursive practices, including bilingual ones. As one can judge by the publications of the thematic issue, the concept of communication strategy is also used to analyze media, marketing, corporate communications and literary text. It is concluded that the diversity of aspects and approaches in Russian and foreign works testifies to the research potential of the concept itself and the possibilities of its application to various areas of communication

The individual and collective and also cultural domains have long constituted challenging boundaries for the study of memory. These are often clearly demarcated between approaches drawn from the human and the social sciences and also humanities, respectively. But recent work turns the enduring imagination – the world view – of these domains on its head by treating memory as serving a link between both the individual and collective past and future. Here, I employ some of the contributions from Schacter and Welker’s Special Issue of Memory Studies on ‘Memory and Connection’ to offer an ‘expanded view’ of memory that sees remembering and forgetting as the outcome of interactional trajectories of experience, both emergent and predisposed.
