Our first-hand data reveal that although this marker (-yih) more frequently occurs on A arguments of multivalent clauses, it also appears with significant frequency on S arguments of monovalent clauses, particularly with the verb root yin ‘to say, to think, to do’. We explain this non-canonical distribution with a co-dependent analysis of its discourse and pragmatic functions, summarized by the principle ‘mark out the unexpected referent’, following McGregor’s Expected Actor Principle. These functions differ slightly according to clause type. For both types, the marker has a discourse function of ‘mark out the non-topical referent’: either an A argument that sufficiently threatens the construal of local topics, or an S referent after a long period of deferred topichood (particularly speaker referents). The marker also has a correlating pragmatic function of ‘mark out the contrary referent’: either an A participant acting against the motivations and expectations of other (topical) referents (or of the speaker), or an S participant with an unusual stance or speech content.","PeriodicalId":44988,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Linguistics","volume":"39 1","pages":"287 - 328"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/07268602.2019.1623758","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46299086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following this, we are drawn to ‘conveying new stories’ (p. 185) for ecological concern, rather than being lost in the difficult problem of modifying languages. There is a glossary of linguistic terms, which is very helpful. The only criticism which we would make of this book concerns the small amount of information that it has on traditional Chinese ecosophy, which is well known for its abundance of ecological wisdom and its long influence on East Asian ecoculture. We do appreciate Stibbe’s wish for more ‘voices... from traditional and indigenous cultures from around the world’ (p. 193), which shows his open attitude in doing ecolinguistic analysis. Due to its theoretical and practical depth, its well-organized contents and its vivid and thought-provoking language and pictures, this book would be an ideal textbook for a course in ecolinguistics. Moreover, non-linguist readers may find it appealing, since it contains interesting stories as well as inspiring arguments. Every creature has its stories, and this book, by means of its appropriate use of linguistic tools, encourages us to listen to them.","PeriodicalId":44988,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Linguistics","volume":"39 1","pages":"397 - 400"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/07268602.2018.1453226","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48440033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants of the study were 30 undergraduate students of Chabahar Maritime University. An experiment was conducted in which the participants were expected to make judgements on the sensicality of 10 metaphors in two phases. In the no-prime condition, metaphors were not preceded by any prime. In the metaphor-prime condition, the same metaphors were preceded by metaphorical primes. Metaphors and metaphor primes were designed in a way that the nature of the relationship between topic and vehicle in each metaphor and its prime was similar, although there was no similarity between concrete features of the two metaphors. The results indicated that when a metaphor is preceded by a metaphorical prime, judgement on the sensicality of metaphor is faster and the metaphor is judged to be more sensical. Based on these results, it can be suggested that two superficially different metaphors might share a domain at a level beyond concrete features of topic and vehicle. In other words, the superficial or concrete features of topic and vehicle in metaphor prime, and its following metaphorical sentence, play no significant role in this respect. It is the activation of a shared domain in the metaphor prime that has a noticeable influence on the understanding of the following metaphorical sentence.","PeriodicalId":44988,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Linguistics","volume":"39 1","pages":"375 - 388"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/07268602.2019.1623759","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43624716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a key protection for suspects which is implemented through a policy about language. Unfortunately, there is evidence that many Aboriginal suspects in the Northern Territory often fail to understand their right to silence. A key reason for this is the way the right is expressed in the law and by police, centred on the expression ‘you don’t have to say anything’. Analysis of the meaning of this language shows that it is a vague way of providing legal information which relies on a subtle semantic distinction in Standard Australian English. This expression is especially vulnerable to misinterpretation by suspects who speak (or learn) other varieties of English, especially in conversations where police purposes are not clear. The way police explain the right to silence can be contrasted with other existing texts including translations which present the information in terms of agency, decisions and consequences. This suggests that the language policy could be significantly improved, with consequences for equality of access to justice.","PeriodicalId":44988,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Linguistics","volume":"39 1","pages":"347 - 374"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/07268602.2019.1620682","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47579347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Learning Mandarin tones is known to be difficult for speakers from diverse linguistic backgrounds. The perception of Mandarin tones by naïve, non-native listeners from two tonal languages with a larger tone inventory than Mandarin—Thai and Vietnamese—was examined. The listeners’ discrimination accuracy of six tone pairs (T1–T2, T1–T3, T1–T4, T2–T3, T2–T4, T3–T4) was assessed and compared to that of native speakers of Mandarin on the one hand and Australian English on the other hand. The Thai and Vietnamese groups were clearly less accurate than the Mandarin group and showed a different pattern of results from each other. The Australian English group was less accurate than the Thai group only for T2–T4 and did not differ from the Vietnamese group for any of the pairs. Taken together, these findings suggest that first language tone knowledge may not necessarily be facilitative and that lack of experience with lexical tones may not disadvantage listeners from non-tonal language backgrounds in processing unfamiliar tones.","PeriodicalId":44988,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Linguistics","volume":"39 1","pages":"329 - 346"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/07268602.2019.1620681","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44529409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
