AICR provides a forum for scholars from different scientific disciplines and fields of knowledge who study consciousness in its multifaceted aspects. Thus the Series includes (but is not limited to) the various areas of cognitive science, including cognitive psychology, brain science, philosophy and linguistics. The orientation of the series is toward developing new interdisciplinary and integrative approaches for the investigation, description and theory of consciousness, as well as the practical consequences of this research for the individual in society. From 1999 the Series consists of two subseries that cover the most important types of contributions to consciousness studies: Series A: Theory and Method. Contributions to the development of theory and method in the study of consciousness; Series B: Research in Progress. Experimental, descriptive and clinical research in consciousness.

<p>Over the last three decades, historical
sociolinguistics has developed into a mature and challenging field of study
that focuses on language users and language use in the past. The social
motivation of linguistic variation and change continues at the forefront of the
historical sociolinguistic enquiry, but current research does not stop there.
It extends from social and regional variation in language use to its various
communicative contexts, registers and genres, and includes issues in language
attitudes, policies and ideologies. One of the main stimuli for the field comes
from new digitized resources and large text corpora, which enable the study of
a much wider social coverage than before. Historical sociolinguists use
variationist and dialectological research tools and techniques, perform
pragmatic and social network analyses, and adopt innovative approaches from
other disciplines. The series publishes monographs and thematic volumes, in
English, on different languages and topics that contribute to our understanding
of the relations between the individual, language and society in the past.</p>

Advances in Interaction Studies (AIS) provides a forum for researchers to present excellent scholarly work in a variety of disciplines relevant to the advancement of knowledge in the field of interaction studies. The book series accompanies the journal Interaction Studies: Social Behaviour and Communication in Biological and Artificial Systems.

The book series allows the presentation of research in the forms of monographs (that may be based on PhD thesis material) or edited collections of peer-reviewed material (that may be based on conferences relevant to the field), in English.

The series welcomes contributions that analyze social behaviour in humans and other animals, including the evolution of interaction and communication, as well as research into the design and synthesis of robotic, software, virtual and other artificial systems, including applications such as exploiting human-machine interactions for educational or therapeutic purposes. Fields of interest include but are not limited to: evolutionary biology, artificial intelligence, artificial life, robotics, human-robot interaction, human-computer interaction, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, computational neuroscience, cognitive modeling, ethology, social and biological anthropology, palaeontology, animal behaviour, and linguistics.

This series includes cutting-edge theoretical and empirical books on comparative management and intercultural comparison, studies of organizational culture, communication, and aesthetics, as well as in the area of interorganizational collaboration – strategic alliances, joint ventures, networks and collaborations of all kinds, where comparative, intercultural, and communicative issues have a special salience.

The AILA Applied Linguistics Series (AALS) provides a forum for established scholars in any area of Applied Linguistics. The series aims at representing the field in its diversity. It covers different topics in applied linguistics from a multidisciplinary approach and it aims at including different theoretical and methodological perspectives. As an official publication of AILA the series will include contributors from different geographical and linguistic backgrounds. The volumes in the series should be of high quality, they should break new ground and stimulate further research in Applied Linguistics.

As of 1993 John Benjamins has been the official publisher of the ATA Scholarly Monograph Series. Edited by Françoise Massardier-Kenney, under the auspices of the American Translators Association, this peer-reviewed series has an international scope and addresses research and professional issues in the translation community worldwide. These accessible collections of scholarly articles range from issues of training and business environments to case studies or aspects of specialized translation relevant to translators, translator trainers, and translation researchers.

This series offers new editions of important 19th and 20th century works, together with introductions by present-day specialists in which these ‘classic’ studies are placed within their historical context and their significance for contemporary linguistic pursuits is shown.

This book series highlights the variety of argumentative practices that have become established in modern society by focusing on the study of context-dependent characteristics of argumentative discourse that vary according to the demands of the more or less institutionalized communicative activity type in which the discourse takes place. Examples of such activity types are parliamentary debates and political interviews, medical consultations and health brochures, legal annotations and judicial sentences, editorials and advertorials in newspapers, and scholarly reviews and essays.

Special issues of established journals tend to circulate within the orbit of the subscribers of those journals. For the Benjamins Current Topics series a number of special issues of various journals have been selected containing salient topics of research with the aim of finding new audiences for topically interesting material, bringing such material to a wider readership in book format.

The Benjamins Translation Library (BTL) aims to stimulate research and training in Translation & Interpreting Studies - taken very broadly to encompass the many different forms and manifestations of translational phenomena, among them cultural translation, localization, adaptation, literary translation, specialized translation, audiovisual translation, audio-description, transcreation, transediting, conference interpreting, and interpreting in community settings (courts, police, healthcare, social services, etc.) in the spoken and signed modalities – as well as the fuzzy boundaries between professional and amateur transfer and the crossroads between translation studies and other (sub)disciplines.

The BTL seeks to revisit and expand the current boundaries of the ever-evolving discipline by providing a forum for exploring this rich array of themes and approaches, in a variety of epistemological, methodological, social, cultural, historical, technological and pedagogical contexts. In the process, it develops - and challenges - existing theoretical and methodological frameworks, or puts existing ones to the test. Each volume represents an original scholarly endeavor - whether in the form of a monograph, a collective volume, a reference work or a postgraduate textbook.

The European Society for Translation Studies (EST) Subseries is a publication channel within the Library to optimize EST’s function as a forum for the translation and interpreting research community. It promotes new trends in research, gives more visibility to young scholars’ work, publicizes new research methods, makes available documents from EST, and reissues classical works in translation studies which do not exist in English or which are now out of print.

Psycholinguistic and neurocognitive approaches to
bilingualism/multilingualism and language acquisition continue to gain
momentum and uncover valuable findings explaining how multiple languages
are represented in and processed by the human mind. With these
intensified scholarly efforts come thought-provoking inquiries,
pioneering findings, and new research directions. The Bilingual Processing and Acquisition
book series seeks to provide a unified home, unlike any other, for this
enterprise by providing a single forum and home for the highest-quality
monographs and collective volumes related to language processing issues
among multilinguals and learners of non-native languages. These volumes
are authoritative works in their areas and should not only interest
researchers and scholars investigating psycholinguistic and
neurocognitive approaches to bilingualism/multilingualism and language
acquisition but also appeal to professional practitioners and advanced
undergraduate and graduate students.

In an attempt to be as inclusive as possible, this book
series aims to publish volumes that represent the various subfields
pertaining to bilingual/multilingual processing and acquisition as
demonstrated in current research trends. Some of topics covered may
include but are not limited to: language acquisition in adults; language
acquisition in children; language attrition (native and non-native);
linguistic competence and performance; processing perspectives of
interlanguage development; bimodal bilingualism; phonological
processing; morphosyntactic processing; orthographic processing; lexical
processing; processing perspectives of code-switching; language
activation; language representation; language selection; language and
inhibitory control; speech perception; language production; working
memory; cognitive consequences of bilingualism/multilingualism;
cognitive executive functioning; innovative methodologies; artificial
intelligence; computational modelling; cross-linguistic interference;
language disorders; neurolinguistic approaches to
bilingualism/multilingualism; and neurological and cognitive issues in
healthy and brain-damaged bilinguals/multilinguals.

The overarching aim of the CLCC series is to promote truly new theoretical approaches in the realm of children’s literature research on the one hand, and to emphasize a non-Anglo-American focus, bringing in exciting research from other areas. In addition, the new book series shall present research from many linguistic areas to an international audience, reinforce interaction between research conducted in many different languages and present high standard research on the basis of secondary sources in a number of languages and based in a variety of research traditions. Basically the series should encourage a cross- and interdisciplinary approach on the basis of literary studies, media studies, comparative studies, reception studies, literacy studies, cognitive studies and linguistics. The series should include monographs and essay collections which are international in scope and intend to stimulate innovative research in children’s literature with a focus on children’s literature (including other media), children’s culture and cognition, thus encouraging interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research in this expanding field.

This series provides students with new editions of seminal works from Europe and America which appeared during the last quarter of the 19th and the early decades of the 20th century, when psycholinguistics emerged as an important area of interdisciplinary study.

This book series aims at publishing high-quality research on the relationship between language, culture, and cognition from the theoretical perspective of Cognitive Linguistics. It especially welcomes studies that treat language as an integral part of culture and cognition, that enhance the understanding of culture and cognition through systematic analysis of language – qualitative and/or quantitative, synchronic and/or diachronic – and that demonstrate how language as a subsystem of culture transformatively interacts with cognition and how cognition at a cultural level is manifested in language.

A textbook series which aims at introducing students of language and linguistics, and scholars from neighboring disciplines, to established and new fields in language research from a cognitive perspective. The books in the series are written in an attractive, reader-friendly and self-explanatory style. They include assignments and have been tested for undergraduate and graduate student use at university level.
