Utter Chaos
Published in Germany in 1920, Sammy Gronemann's satirical novel set in 1903 at the time of the Sixth Zionist Congress follows the life of a baptized Jew, Heinz Lehnsen, as he negotiates legal entanglements, German culture, religious differences, and Zionist aspirations. A chance encounter with a long-lost cousin from a shtetl in Russia further complicates the plot and challenges the characters' notions of Jewish identity and their belief in the claims of the Zionist movement. Gronemann's humor and compassion slyly expose the foibles and contradictions of human behavior. With deep insight into German society, German-Jewish culture, and antisemitism, Utter Chaos paints a highly entertaining portrait of German Jews at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Complete and Utter Cult
Stand-up poet, comedian and walking shortbread tin Elvis McGonagall returns with Complete and Utter Cult! the follow-up to 2017’s “Viva Loch Lomond!”. This new collection of satirical verse captures Elvis’ ongoing futile exasperation at the dismal trajectory of our post-truth world as it trundles along the primrose path to Beelzebub’s bottomless pit. Fake news and COVID-19. Organic novichok and Piers Morgan. Yes, the good ship lollipop is sailing down the shitter. Climb aboard with Elvis as he bellows into the void of our diseased, burning planet and we all drift towards a giant melting iceberg. “Complete and Utter Cult!” tackles everything from the pernicious effects of the patriarchy to disappearing rainforests via Brexit milkshakes and a pandemic. Yes, all the feel-good hits are here, fully annotated with the innermost thoughts from the canyons of Elvis’ mind as he banged away on his typewriter at The Graceland Caravan Park. And there’s a love poem.

Uttering Trees
A study of the interface between syntax and phonology that seeks deeper explanations for such syntactic problems as case phenomena and the distribution of overt and covert wh-movement. In Uttering Trees, Norvin Richards investigates the conditions imposed upon syntax by the need to create syntactic objects that can be interpreted by phonolog-that is, objects that can be pronounced. Drawing extensively on linguistic data from a variety of languages, including Japanese, Basque, Tagalog, Spanish, Kinande (Bantu language spoken in the Democratic Republic of the Congo), and Chaha (Semitic language spoken in Ethiopia), Richards makes two new proposals about the relationship between syntax and phonology. The first, "Distinctness," has to do with the process of imposing a linear order on the constituents of the tree. Richards claims that syntactic nodes with many properties in common cannot be directly linearized and must be kept structurally distant from each other. He argues that a variety of syntactic phenomena can be explained by this generalization, including much of what has traditionally been covered by case theory. Richards's second proposal, "Beyond Strength and Weakness," is an attempt to predict, for any given language, whether that language will exhibit overt or covert wh-movement. Richards argues that we can predict whether or not a language can leave wh in situ by investigating more general properties of its prosody. This proposal offers an explanation for a cross-linguistic difference-that wh-phrases move overtly in some languages and covertly in others-that has hitherto been simply stipulated. In both these areas, it appears that syntax begins constructing a phonological representation earlier than previously thought; constraints on both word order and prosody begin at the beginning of the derivation.

Grammar of the Utterance
This book examines how speakers of Ibero-Romance 'do things' with conversational units of language, paying particular attention to what they do with i) vocatives, interjections, and particles; and ii) illocutionary complementizers, items that look like subordinators but behave differently. Alice Corr argues that the behaviour of these conversation-oriented items provides insight into how language-as-grammar builds the universe of discourse. The approach identifiesthe underlying unity in how different Ibero-Romance languages, alongside their Romance cousins and Latin ancestors, use grammar to refer - i.e. to connect our inner world to the one outside - and the empirical arguments are underpinned by the philosophical position that the configurational architectureof grammar also configures the architecture of the mind. The book thus builds on existing work on the syntax of discourse not only by contributing new empirical and theoretical insights, but also by pursuing explanatory adequacy via a so-called 'un-Cartesian' grammar of reference. In so doing, it formalizes the intuition that language users do things not with words, but with grammar. Drawing on a wealth of naturalistic data from social media and online corpora, augmented by elicitedintrospective judgements, The Grammar of the Utterance offers new insights into the colloquial grammar and morphosyntactic variation of (Ibero-)Romance, and showcases the utility of comparative work on this language family in advancing our empirical and conceptual understanding of the organization ofgrammar.

Situated Utterances
Berger describes himself as “a reconstructed old New Critic,” and hispublications over the past fifty years have centered on investigations of theways in which texts represent both themselves and their situations of utterance.The thirteen chapters of the present book illustrate the range of his inquiryacross several cultures and disciplines. They also demonstrate the interpretiverichness, the theoretical acumen, and the energetic prose that characterize thework of one of America’s premier “close readers.”Situated Utterances is divided into four parts. In Part One Berger designs ananalytical model of New Criticism and shows how it was dismantled during thedecades after the Second World War. He then proposes a reconstructed model inwhich the practice of ironic and suspicious “close reading” may be directed towardinteractions among bodies, texts, and countertexts in different cultural settings.Part Two demonstrates this practice in studies of specific works in three genres:the pastoral Idylls of Theocritus, Edmund Spenser’s epic, The Faerie Queene, andthe Diaries of Samuel Pepys. The scope of the practice is broadened in Part Threeto the connection between cultural representations and institutional change, aconnection explored in four chapters that successively examine precapitalistforms of representation, the Old Testament, Beowulf, and the conflict betweennakedness and nudity in Christian conceptions of the body. Part Four consistsin three chapters on Plato’s dialogues, which Berger interprets as critical of thegeneral situation of utterance in a predominantly oral culture. He argues thatPlato uses the resources of writing to depict the heroic pathos of a Socrates whosemethod and message are defeated by the politics of the oral medium.Situated Utterances concludes with “A Conspectus of Critical Moves:The Eleven-Step Program.” This is a summary account of the interpretivestrategies put into play by the author throughout his long career.
