Title: Book: Bilingual Cognition and Language
Body:
From https://benjamins.com/#catalog/books/sibil.54/main
Bilingual Cognition and Language: The state of the science across its subfields
Edited by David Miller, Fatih Bayram, Jason Rothman, and Ludovica Serratrice
Published by John Benjamins Publishing Company
This collection brings together leading names in the field of bilingualism research to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Studies in Bilingualism series. Over the last 25 years the study of bilingualism has received a tremendous amount of attention from linguists, psychologists, cognitive scientists, and neuroscientists. The breadth of coverage in this volume is a testament to the many different aspects of bilingualism that continue to generate phenomenal interest in the scholarly community. The bilingual experience is captured through a multifaceted prism that includes aspects of language and literacy development in child bilinguals with and without developmental language disorders, language processing and mental representations in adult bilinguals across the lifespan, and the cognitive and neurological basis of bilingualism. Different theoretical approaches – from generative UG-based models to constructivist usage-based models – are brought to bear on the nature of bilingual linguistic knowledge. The end result is a compendium of the state-of-the-art of a field that is in constant evolution and that is on an upward trajectory of discovery.

Title: Book: Varieties of Spoken French
Body:
From https://global.oup.com/academic/product/varieties-of-spoken-french-9780198812104?cc=us&lang=en&
Varieties of Spoken French
Edited by Sylvain Detey, Jacques Durand, Bernard Laks, and Chantal Lyche
Published by Oxford University Press
This book examines the variation found in modern spoken French, based on the research program "Phonology of Contemporary French" (Phonologie du Francais Contemporain, PFC). Extensive data are drawn from all over the French-speaking world, including Algeria, Canada, Louisiana, Mauritius, and Switzerland. Although the principal focus is on differences in pronunciation, the authors also analyze the spoken language at all levels from sound to meaning. The book is accompanied by a website hosting audio-visual material for teaching purposes, data, and a variety of tools for working with corpora.
The first part of the book outlines some key concepts and approaches to the description of spoken French. Chapters in Part II are devoted to the study of individual samples of spoken French from all over the world, covering phonological and grammatical features as well as lexical and cultural aspects. The book's companion website provides a class-friendly ready-to-use multimedia version of these 17 chapters, as well as the sound files and full transcription for each extract. Part III looks at inter and intra-speaker variation: it begins with chapters that provide the methodological background to the study of phonological variation using databases, while in the second section authors present case studies of a number of PFC survey points, including Paris, the Central African Republic, and Quebec. Varieties of Spoken French will be a valuable resource for researchers, teachers, and students of all aspects of French language and linguistics.

A Plurilingual Corpus on Telecollaboration in Third Languages
Edited by Claudia Grümpel and Analía Cuadrado Rey
Published by Peter Lang
Telecollaboration has been applied in foreign language education for more than two decades. This corpus study on telecollaboration in Third Language Learning has been carried out in institutional (CEFR) and non-institutional settings following the principle of autonomy in the framework of Higher Education implementing online tandems and student recordings in order to analyze discourse patterns. The chapters of this issue are original studies on corpus data of the L3Task project reflecting findings and new research paradigms and instruments that consolidate teaching and research methodology on online tandem practice for third language learning.

Title: Call for Papers: The Ideological Work of English Teaching
Body:
From https://linguistlist.org/issues/29/29-1578.html
Call for Papers: Special Issue of 'Changing English' (Taylor and Francis)
The Ideological Work of English Teaching
This special issue of Changing English seeks to explore how the word ‘ideology’ might strategically be deployed to open up critique within our current policy environment at both a national and a global level. The editors are anticipating that contributors will in various ways situate their work in relation to the debates that have surrounded the word ‘ideology’ since it was first used. But rather than providing an historical overview of various theories of ideology over the past two centuries, it is expected that – taken together – the essays in this special issue will inquire into the potential of this word to open up new dimensions of language and experience, new ways of seeing educational institutions and English classrooms, that currently receive little or no emphasis within our existing policy environment.
The deadline to submit abstracts is September 1, 2018.
