"Visible language is pervasive in everyday life - in signs, advertising billboards, street and place names, commercial logos and slogans, and language art. The field of linguistic landscapes draws on insights from sociolinguistics, language policy and semiotics to show how these public forms of language relate to multiple issues in language policy, language rights, language and education, language and culture, and globalization. Stretching from the earliest stone inscriptions, to posters and street signs, and to today's electronic media, linguistic landscapes sit at the crossroads of language, society, geography, and visual communication. Written by one of the pioneers of the field, this is the first book-length synthesis of this exciting, rapidly-developing field. Using photographic evidence from across three continents, it demonstrates the methodology and approaches used, and summarises its findings and developments so far. It also seeks to answer common questions from its critics, and to suggest new directions for further study"--

This Element reviews the foundational definitions, theories, and psycholinguistic models of ironic language, covering key questions such as the distinction between literal and ironic meaning, the role of contextual information during irony processing, and the cognitive mechanisms involved.

"Highlights the agency of local people in enabling transitional justice in post-conflict Sierra Leone. Moving past questions of institutional effectiveness, Laura S. Martin explores the diversity of post-conflict experiences and shows how individuals and communities enact justice on their own terms"--

"This practical, evidence-based handbook will meet the needs of those working in the field of SRH care and will also help those preparing for the joint EBCOG and ESCRH Certificate and Diploma examination in Sexual and Reproductive Health and is designed to closely follow the examination's curriculum"--

"A guide to the most important methodologies for improving safety and quality, written specifically for clinicians in anaesthesia and perioperative medicine. Includes practical advice about how to implement methodologies and frameworks, making use of examples from both anaesthesia and from other industries such as aviation and nuclear power"--

This volume takes on the challenge of understanding nationhood and nationalism's relationships with global phenomena such as imperialism and universalistic religions.

The Cambridge Handbook of Computational Cognitive Sciences is a comprehensive reference for this rapidly developing and highly interdisciplinary field. Written with both newcomers and experts in mind, it provides an accessible introduction of paradigms, methodologies, approaches, and models, with ample detail and illustrated by examples. It should appeal to researchers and students working within the computational cognitive sciences, as well as those working in adjacent fields including philosophy, psychology, linguistics, anthropology, education, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, computer science, and more.

"This book is for anyone who cares about their privacy and data protection rights. It examines transatlantic conflicts when data privacy laws collide with security, freedom of expression and trade concerns. It considers who may make the law and where and how the EU can ensure fundamental rights are protected"--

"Tracing the emergence of literary history, Alexander Jabbari shows how Iranians and South Asians drew from their shared literary heritage to produce a 'Persianate modernity' in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Using both Urdu and Persian-language sources, Jabbari examines how intellectual exchange across the region made national cultures"--

"Through legal and social science-based analyses, this book explains why international courts underutilize their power and traces how this impacts international norms. Using the norm against torture and inhumane or degrading treatment as an example, it systematically analyses c.2,300 judgements from the European Court of Human Rights, 1967-2016"--

Introduces readers interested in insular spirituality and hagiography to the major texts associated with the cult of the great northern English saint, Cuthbert. The first sustained analysis of this textual tradition from 690-1500, emphasizing his ascetic evolution, and association with changing perceptions of northernness and nationhood.

This volume, the proceedings of IAU Symposium 363, addresses the astrophysical implications of gravitational wave and electromagnetic observations of neutron stars. It covers the state of the art understanding of mergers of binary neutron stars producing short gamma-ray bursts, and the most powerfully magnetic varieties of neutron stars, magnetars. Encapsulating both observations and modelling, the contributions address extreme transient events including kilonovae, afterglows, magnetar giant flares, and fast radio bursts. By exploring the intersection of studies of isolated neutron stars and binary system synthesis and merging, this collection sets the scene for interpreting exciting results pertaining to powerful x-ray, gamma-ray, and gravitational wave transients to be acquired in the next decade and beyond. IAU S363 will be an asset for astronomers seeking a broad and interdisciplinary overview of neutron stars, their gravitational waves and electromagnetic emission.

This book defends logical monism, provides a detailed analysis of different possible formulations of logical pluralism, and offers an original account of the plurality of correct logics that incorporates the benefits of both pluralist and monist approaches to logical consequence. It will appeal to researchers in the philosophy of logic.

Knowing Women is a study of same-sex desire in West Africa, which explores the lives and friendships of working-class women in southern Ghana who are intimately involved with each other. Based on in-depth research of the life histories of women in the region, Serena O. Dankwa highlights the vibrancy of everyday same-sex intimacies that have not been captured in a globally pervasive language of sexual identity. Paying close attention to the women's practices of self-reference, Dankwa refers to them as 'knowing women' in a way that both distinguishes them from, and relates them to categories such as lesbian or supi, a Ghanaian term for female friend. In doing so, this study is not only a significant contribution to the field of global queer studies in which both women and Africa have been underrepresented, but a starting point to further theorize the relation between gender, kinship, and sexuality that is key to queer, feminist, and postcolonial theories. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

"This is a major new study of JM Coetzee, one of the most important writers in the post-war period. This the first study that makes use of his archive to provide new sources and contexts for a reading of his novels"--

"A Greek declamation was an 'imaginary speech': a fictitious speech composed for a rhetorical scenario set in classical Greece. Although such speeches began as rhetorical exercises, under the high Roman empire they developed into a full-blown prestigious genre in their own right. This first monograph on Greek declamation for nearly forty years re-evaluates a genre that was central to Greek imperial literature and to ancient and modern notions of the 'Second Sophistic'. Rejecting traditional conceptions of the genre as 'nostalgic', this book considers the significance of Greek declamation's reenactment of classical history for its own times and integrates the genre into the wider history of the period. It shows through extended readings how the genre came to constitute a powerful and subtle instrument of identity formation and social interaction, and a site for free thinking on issues of major contemporary importance such as imperialism and inter-polis relations"--
