Issues in Japanese Psycholinguistics from Comparative Perspectives compiles 31 state-of-the-art articles on Japanese psycholinguistics. It emphasizes the importance of using comparative perspectives when conducting psycholinguistic research. Psycholinguistic studies of Japanese have contributed greatly to the field from a cross-linguistic perspective. However, the target languages for comparison have been limited. Most research focuses on English and a few other typologically similar languages. As a result, many current theories of psycholinguistics fail to acknowledge the nature of ergative-absolutive and/or object-before-subject languages. The cross-linguistic approach is not the only method of comparison in psycholinguistics. Other prominent comparative aspects include comprehension vs. production, native speakers vs. second language learners, typical vs. aphasic language development. Many of these approaches are underrepresented in Japanese psycholinguistics. The studies reported in the volumes attempt to bridge these gaps. Using various experimental and/or computational methods, they address issues of the universality/diversity of the human language and the nature of the relationship between human cognitive modules. Volume 1, Cross-Linguistic Studies, compares Japanese and other languages, including well-studied languages such as English, as well as lesser-studied languages such as Kaqchikel.

This book provides the first extensive description of Texas Alsatian, a critically-endangered Texas German dialect, as spoken in Medina County in the 21st century. The dialect was brought to Texas in the 1840's by colonists recruited by French entrepreneur Henri Castro and has been preserved with minimal change for six generations. Texas Alsatian has maintained lexical, phonological, and morphosyntactic features which differentiate it from the prevalent standard-near varieties of Texas German.

Confrontés à une réalité linguistique sensiblement analogue, les États français, italien et espagnol n’ont pas apporté la même réponse juridique à la question des langues régionales ou minoritaires. Cette divergence des solutions s’explique principalement par une conception différente du principe d’indivisibilité de part et d’autre des Alpes et des Pyrénées. Alors que la France consacre l’unité linguistique comme vecteur de son unité nationale, l’Italie et l’Espagne ont, dans le cadre de leur unité, reconnu un pluralisme linguistique. La différence de solutions démontre également une différence d’approche. Si elle a longtemps été traitée sous le seul angle institutionnel, la question des langues régionales ou minoritaires se pose aujourd’hui davantage en termes de droits fondamentaux. Il ne s’agit plus tant d’accorder un statut à ces langues mais de reconnaître à leurs locuteurs des droits linguistiques. L’émergence de cette approche substantielle invite la France à repenser la question des langues régionales ou minoritaires et ce, dans sa Constitution.
