The Handbook of Dialectology provides an authoritative, up-to-date and unusually broad account of the study of dialect, in one volume. Each chapter reviews essential research, and offers a critical discussion of the past, present and future development of the area. The volume is based on state-of-the-art research in dialectology around the world, providing the most current work available with an unusually broad scope of topics Provides a practical guide to the many methodological and statistical issues surrounding the collection and analysis of dialect data Offers summaries of dialect variation in the world's most widely spoken and commonly studied languages, including several non-European languages that have traditionally received less attention in general discussions of dialectology Reviews the intellectual development of the field, including its main theoretical schools of thought and research traditions, both academic and applied The editors are well known and highly respected, with a deep knowledge of this vast field of inquiry
This text assesses the importance of language technology to increasingly popular computer-assisted language learning work. The book contains writings on pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, testing, distance learning and user studies.

In "Theory and Evidence in Semantics," editors Erhard W. Hinrichs and John Nerbonne present a series of state-of-the-art papers that investigate the interface of natural language semantics with other modules of grammar--such as morphology, syntax, and pragmatics--and pursue applications of semantic theory in computational linguistics. Written by some of the leading scholars in the field, and strongly influenced by the seminal work of David R. Dowty in model-theoretical semantics, the papers provide novel accounts of highly complex sets of semantic phenomena, including anaphora, coordination, ellipsis, interrogatives, and negative and collective predicates, as well as tense and aspect.
These essays apply the syntactic theory of Carl Pollard and Ivan
Sag--Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG)--to a formal study
and analysis of German grammar. A wide variety of fundamental and
well-known phenomena in German grammar are addressed, including the
German passive and impersonal passive, various Mittelfeld and
Vorfeld word-order phenomena (including auxiliary stacking and the
distribution of adjuncts), and the structure of phrasal
constituents. Linguistic issues include the treatment of idioms,
word-order variation and phrase structure constituency,
subcategorization, complementation, argument structure, case
assignment, lexical rules, and syntactic ambiguity.
