Metadiscourse - Exploring Interaction In Writing

by Ken Hyland

32,18€ + 10% CARD

 First released in 2005, Ken Hyland''s <i>Metadiscourse </i>has become a canonical account of how language is used in written communication. ''Metadiscourse''<b> </b>is defined as the ways that writers reflect on their texts to refer to themselves, their readers or the text itself. It is a key resource in language as it allows the writer to engage with readers in familiar and expected ways and as such it is an important tool for students of academic writing in both the L1 and L2 context.<br/><br/>This book achieves for main goals:<br/><br/>- to provide an accessible introduction to metadiscourse, discussing its role and importance in written communication and reviewing current thinking on the topic<br/>- to explore examples of metadiscourse in a range of texts from business, academic, journalistic, and student writing<br/>- to offer a new theory of metadiscourse<br/>- to show the relevance of this theory to students, academics and language teachers<br/><br/>The book shows how writers use the devices of metadiscourse to adjust the level of personality in their texts, to offer a representation of themselves and their arguments. It shows how these tools help the reader organise, interpret and evaluate the information presented in the text. Knowing how to identify metadiscourse as a reader is a key skill to be learnt by students of discourse analysis and this book makes this a central goal.

32,18€ + 10% CARD

This is an essential text for students and researchers of sociolinguistics or language and communication.

Bridging Discourses In The Esl Classroom - Students, Teachers And Researchers

by Pauline Gibbons

32,18€ + 10% CARD

 <i>Bridging Discourses in the ESL Classroom</i> is concerned with the nature of talk in multilingual classrooms. Examining the interactions between students learning in and through English as a second language and their teachers, this book identifies the patterns of discourse which support and enable both second language development and the learning of curriculum knowledge. These patterns are ''bridging discourses'', combining the everyday language used by the student with the specialised language of the academic register.<br/><br/>Drawing on second language acquisition research and systemic functional linguistic theory, in particular the work of Halliday and Vygotsky, Pauline Gibbons develops tools to view classroom talk through a powerful interdisciplinary lens. Putting forward an innovative new theory of classroom discourse analysis, this book focuses on applying theory to practice. This is an invaluable resource for all teachers, researchers and students of linguistics and education.

Academic Writing And Plagiarism - A Linguistic Analysis

by Diane Pecorari

30,99€ + 10% CARD

 Plagiarism has long been regarded with concern by the university community as a serious act of wrongdoing threatening core academic values. There has been a perceived increase in plagiarism over recent years, due in part to issues raised by the new media, a diverse student population and the rise in English as a lingua franca. This book examines plagiarism, the inappropriate relationship between a text and its sources, from a linguistic perspective. Diane Pecorari brings recent linguistic research to bear on plagiarism, including processes of first and second language writers; interplay between reading and writing; writer''s identity and voice; and the expectations of the academic discourse community. Using empirical data drawn from a large sample of student writing, compared against written sources, <I>Academic Writing and Plagiarism</I> argues that some plagiarism, in this linguistic context, can be regarded as a failure of pedagogy rather than a deliberate attempt to transgress. The book examines the implications of this gap between the institutions'' expectations of the students, student performance and institutional awareness, and suggests pedagogic solutions to be implemented at student, tutor and institutional levels. <br/><br/><I>Academic Writing and Plagiarism </I>is a cutting-edge research monograph which will be essential reading for researchers in applied linguistics.
