Predications In Competition And The Rise Of Serial Verb Constructions In English - The Verbal And Nominal Complementation Of Old English Aspectual And Manipulative Verbs

by Ana Elvira Ojanguren López

~~96,73€~~ 87,06€ 10% OFF

 This book explains the competition in the complementation of Old English aspectual and manipulative verbs that arises between finite and non-finite clauses on the one hand and between clauses and noun phrases on the other hand. The book combines textual and lexicographical sources of Old English in order to address this question from the perspective of the complex syntactic configurations within the verbal classes under analysis. The main thrust of the book is synchronic and its basis is a full-fledged functional theory of language, such as Role and Reference Grammar. On the descriptive side, the book takes the line that the strictly synchronic analysis of a linguistic stage can give insight into the historical development of the language. On the explanatory side, the discussion is couched in terms of functional categories and relations, while typologically relevant constructions like verbal serialisation set the conclusions in the wider field of cross-linguistic comparison.

E-Learning In English Medium Instruction (Emi): Academic Language For University Students

by Ana Maria Piquer-Piriz

55,65€ + 10% CARD

 This book focuses on the linguistic needs of university students enrolled in English Medium Instruction (EMI) programmes in which disciplinary subjects are taught in English, a practice that has significantly risen over the last 20 years. It includes seven online, self-study modules (Creating outlines, concept maps, writing definitions, writing summaries, reporting data, the language of presentations and writing abstracts) that were designed after conducting specific research into students needs in terms of academic genres and language functions. All these modules were piloted with students in different degree programmes. The piloting confirmed the suitability of the materials for EMI undergraduate and postgraduate learners and the benefits of following a genre-based approach in this specific context.

Age-Specific Issues. Language, Spaces, Technologies

58,30€ + 10% CARD

 This volume is a collection of studies dealing with age or, rather, ages, mainly from a linguistic viewpoint, but also accommodating inputs from other disciplinary perspectives. It focuses on the linguistic, social, economic and ethical aspects of social groups defined in terms of age which clearly includes seniors but is, of course, not limited to that. In a global setting where spaces are constantly being redefined, new technologies and phenomena like the COVID-19 pandemic exert a substantial influence on how ages are perceived, seen and constructed. Within such a complex and multi-layered context, the chapters of this book provide attempts at showcasing realities connected with language, ages and, in general, the discourses surrounding them.

Stance Devices In Tourism-Related Research Articles: A Corpus-Based Study

by Francisco J. Alvarez-Gil

50,09€ + 10% CARD

 This volume aims to showcase research as to the study of perspectivization in English language academic articles in the field of tourism. A key aspect of this study is the way in which writers elaborate and organize information following their editorial traditions. Interestingly, complete scientific articles in the field have not received much scholarly attention. A first task, therefore, that this book undertakes is the characterization of the article in terms of unctional stages, according to a framework of functional linguistics. The methodology also involves the use of corpus linguistics tools to analyze linguistic stance devices and to draw data for their illustration. These linguistic stance strategies are examined by genre stage to highlight possible variation in these stages. The results of this research hopefully would impact on the study of specialized English for tourism and on the design of new teaching materials.

Frequency In The Dictionary - A Corpus-Assisted Contrastive Analysis Of English And Italian

by Dominic Stewart

62,94€ + 10% CARD

 This book is concerned with frequency in foreign language learning, and in particular with contrastive frequency across languages. The focus is on the learning of English and Italian, whether it be English speakers learning Italian or Italian speakers learning English. Despite the fact that frequency whether it be of lemmas or of word forms within specific lexicogrammatical environments lies at the heart of L2 learning, it is not stressed in any salient or consistent manner in English / Italian language-learning materials. This work aims to redress the balance, offering a corpusassisted critical analysis of the way frequency is handled in English and Italian dictionaries, and bringing out unexpected differences between the two languages.

Argument Structure In Flux - The Development Of Impersonal Constructions In Middle And Early Modern English, With Special Reference To Verbs Of Desire

by Noelia Castro-Chao

66,85€ + 10% CARD

 The class of verbs of Desire comprises verbs whose syntax and semantics have undergone important changes in the course of their histories. Their argument structure involves a Desirer and a Desired, and in earlier English they could be used impersonally in constructions lacking a subject marked for the nominative case. The book presents three case studies based on a comprehensive survey of the entries in the Oxford English Dictionary and the Middle English Dictionary and on corpus data retrieved from EEBOCorp 1.0 (1470s1690s). The results obtained unveil the loss of impersonal uses and their gradual replacement by personal patterns, in particular a pattern where the verb governs a prepositional complement representing the Desired as a metaphorical goal.

Exploring Discourse And Ideology Through Corpora

65,32€ + 10% CARD

 This book explores discourse mainly through corpus linguistics methods. Indeed, Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies has become a widely used approach for the critical (or non-critical) analysis of discourses in recent times. The book focuses on the analysis of different kinds of discourse, but most particularly on those which attempt to unveil social attitudes and values. Although a corpus methodology is deemed crucial in all research found here, it should not be inferred that a single, uniform technique is applied, but a wide variety of them, often shaped by the software which has been used. Also, more than one (qualitative or quantitative) methodology or drawing from various relevant sources is often called for in the critical analysis of discourses.

Politics And Populism Across Modes And Media

90,17€ + 10% CARD

 The relationship between politics and digital media is currently a focus of intense interest: the symbiosis between the two spheres is such that political activity is now almost inseparable from media communication. However, the implications of this development are not fully understood. Digital media are a powerful tool in the hands of mainstream parties, but also make it easier than ever before for the public to express their reactions, or for new actors to enter the political arena. This volume explores the intersection between politics and new media, which involves crucial ideals, values and aspirations, such as informed democracy, citizens empowerment and social debate, but also negative aspects like manipulation and polarization.

Learning Second Language Pragmatics Beyond Traditional Contexts

72,81€ + 10% CARD

 The volume Learning second language pragmatics beyond traditional contexts is a collection of studies dealing with the acquisition of second language pragmatic competence in different learning contexts. Such contexts brought together include technology-mediated contexts (e.g. computer-mediated communication, emails), emerging institutional settings in the European context (e.g. CLIL, English-medium instruction, the multilingual classroom), study abroad settings, and natural contexts (e.g. au-pairing, media contact). Altogether, the contributions attempt to move forward the field of second language pragmatics by accounting for learning settings that have gained importance in the current era of globalization and multiculturalism.
