Linguistic Insights 

Studies in Language and Communication 

Edited by Maurizio Gotti, 

University of Bergamo 

T 

his series aims to promote specialist language studies in 

the fields of linguistic theory and applied linguistics, by 

publishing volumes that focus on specific aspects of language 

use in one or several languages and provide valuable insights into 

language and communication research. A cross-disciplinary 

approach is favoured and most European languages are accepted. 

The series includes two types of books : 

Monographs – featuring in-depth studies on special aspects of 

language theory, language analysis or language teaching. 

Collected papers – assembling papers from workshops, conferences 

or symposia. 

Each volume of the series is subjected to a double peer-reviewing 

process.

his study deals with the frequency and use 

of clausal complementation in the oral production 

of two different Spanish learner groups 

(i.e. Galician/Spanish learners and Spanish learners) 

as compared with a further learner group 

(i.e. German learners) and with native speakers 

(British students). By using corpus and learner 

linguistic approaches, this research aims to find 

out and explain the similarities and differences 

regarding the use of clausal complementation 

structures in the oral English of several groups 

of non-native and native speakers. In addition, 

this study also depicts the process of collection 

of the oral corpus VICoLSE, which contains transcripts 

of spoken English data produced by bilingual 

Galician/Spanish learners. The identification 

of variation in the use of clausal complementation 

across the data sheds light on the 

particular characteristics of spoken learner language 

syntax/structuring.

his volume presents the latest research of 

an international group of scholars, engaged 

in the analysis of academic discourse from a 

genre-oriented perspective. The area covered by 

this volume is a central one, as in the last few 

years important developments in research on 

academic discourse have not only concerned the 

more traditional genres, but, as well, generic innovations 

promoted by the new technologies, 

employed both in the presentation of research 

results and in their dissemination to a wider 

community by means of popularising and teaching 

activities. 

These innovations have not only favoured 

important changes in existing genres and the 

creation of new ones to meet emerging needs of 

the academic community, but have also promoted 

a serious discussion about the construct 

of genre itself. 

The various investigations gathered in this 

volume provide several examples of the complexity 

and flexibility of genres, which have 

shown to be subject to a continuous tension between 

stability and change as well as between 

convention and innovation.

his volume focuses on the evolution of genres 

in specialized communication under 

the pressure of technological innovations and 

the profound social changes triggered by globalization 

in the contemporary world, in a context 

where rapid and extensive changes in communicative 

practices, patterns and technologies 

have deeply affected the generic configuration 

of professional and disciplinary domains. 

These developments call for a reconsideration 

of the repertoires of conventions traditionally 

identified in each specific genre as well as 

for a reassessment of the analytical tools used 

to investigate them, about three decades after 

the emergence of genre analysis.

tudies in Linguistics and Cognition offers a 

comprehensive collection of essays in the 

interdisciplinary fields of linguistics and cognition. 

These essays explore the connections between 

cognitive approaches and different theoretical 

and applied linguistic theories, such as 

pragmatics, sociolinguistics, computational 

linguistics and semantics among others, pro viding 

revealing insights into the nature of the cognitive 

processes underlying language. The authors 

discuss a variety of fundamental questions, ranging 

from the study of figurative language, phrasal 

verbs and humorous discourse to the analysis of 

fuzzy concepts, attitude verbs and neologisms. 

These and other related questions are dealt with 

in this integrative overview of the linguistic and 

cognitive processes. The volume is structured in 

three main sections, each corresponding to a distinct 

level of meaning description: Section I deals 

with Lexicon and Cognition, Section II with Semantics 

and Cognition and Section III with Communication 

and Cognition. This book provides 

thought-provoking reading for linguists, pragmaticians, 

psychologists, philosophers and cognitive 

scientists as well as scholars in computational linguistics 

and natu ral language processing who are 

interested in gaining a better understanding of 

the interface between cognition and linguistics.

his book explains how and why grammatical 

gender disappeared from English through 

a detailed analysis of unhistorical gender assignment 

within the noun phrase in Lahamon’s Brut, 

one of the most important Early Middle English 

texts. Such deviations do occur capriciously but 

not randomly, suggesting a development of innovative 

function of the attribu tive forms concerned. 

It is mainly of two types: gender-insensitive uses 

as a case marker and a shift from a bipartite to tripartite 

system of defining words, the, that, and this. 

The author discusses these innovations, focusing 

on their implications for the subsequent development 

and eventual loss of grammatical gender.

eflecting growth in research interest in 

second language vocabulary over the past 

30 years, this edited volume explores the current 

themes and possible future directions in 

second language vocabulary research. The collection 

brings together review papers and quantitative 

studies, and considers vocabulary in the 

contexts of teaching, learning and assessment. 

Key themes explored in the volume include 

multi dimensionality of vocabulary knowledge, 

the nature of word learnability, the interface between 

receptive vocabulary knowledge and productive 

vocabulary use, the partial-to-precise 

continuum of vocabulary knowledge, conditions 

favouring vocabulary learning and use, and the 

use of corpora to develop word lists to inform 

second language teaching. The themes presented 

in this volume reflect current thinking and research 

avenues at the interface between research 

enquiry and second language teaching practice.

he dynamic Systems Theory perspective 

offers new lenses to probe into long-term 

foreign language development. This book reports 

on findings of a longitudinal multiple-case 

study on the vocabulary development of eight 

university-level Chinese learners of English. 

Framed within the dynamic Systems framework, 

the study assumes a holistic perspective 

towards vocabulary knowledge and aims to 

project a comprehensive picture of vocabulary 

development in a typical foreign language learning 

setting such as the Chinese context. To this 

end, a wide array of quantitative measurements 

and qualitative methods was employed. In-depth 

examination was given to both psycholinguistic 

and sociocultural processes involved in the 

complex and dynamic development of vocabulary 

knowledge. Efforts were also made to estab- 

lish meaningful links between the learners’ cognitive, 

mental, pedagogical and social contexts. 

Although the focus is on vocabulary development, 

what is discussed in the book is appli cable 

to a wide range of topics in foreign language 

learning and development.

he contributions of this volume approach 

the genres of employee, CEo and organizational 

communication from different angles. They 

analyze how the author’s position in the company 

influences the construction of these genres, 

what content and linguistic style characterize 

them, and how the discourse of these genres is 

related to other resources. They look at linguistic 

and rhetorical strategies in a range of communicative 

settings: email correspondence among 

(male versus female) co-workers, collaborative 

writing of formats in the workplace, leadership 

messaging by the CEo, financial disclosures for 

(non-)financial audiences and expressions of the 

corporate philosophy. Two methodologies in particular 

are prominent in the genre-based chapters: 

corpus analyses and case studies.

his volume aims to explore what the field of 

business communication has accomplished 

so far and where it is heading. In addition to presenting 

new research, a number of the contributions 

included address the question of how business 

communication scholarship may be rele vant 

to education and practice. While the multidimen- 


sional nature of the field does not allow a single 

answer to that question, the contributors generally 

agree that the ‘language factor’ in international 

business is an intriguing mix of communicative 

skills that are receiving increased attention across 

disciplines. The contributions deal with a wide 

spectrum of business settings, including leadership 

and management situations, gatekeeping encounters 

in a variety of organizations and through 

a range of media and cultures, oral interaction in 

the workplace, marketing and PR discourse, online 

communication, management, organizational 

and corporate communication, and, finally, global 

aspects of integrated marketing communications. 

Methodologically, it includes a broad range of approaches, 

including work in discourse analysis and 

ethno-methodology, rhetoric and document design, 

intercultural pragmatics and writing studies, 

genre analysis, e-semantics and sociolinguistics.

his volume investigates identity traits in academic 

discourse. Its main purpose is to better 

understand how and to what extent language 

forms and functions are adapting to the globalisation 

of academic discourse. Key factors of verbal 

behaviour such as the affiliation of actors to 

one or more cultures have been found to interact, 

producing transversal identities that are independent 

of local traits, with a tendency to merge 

and hybridise in an intercultural sense. The volume 

consists of three main parts: The first deals 

with identity traits across languages and cultures, 

as the use of a given language affects the writing 

of a scholar, especially when it is not his/her native 

language. The second comprises investigations 

of identity features characterising specific 

disciplinary communities or marking a differentiation 

from other branches of knowledge. The 

third part of the volume deals with identity aspects 

emerging from genre and gender variation.

P 

rofessional identities are not only constructed 

through discourse, but can also 

be studied and analysed through discourse and 

communication behaviour, which is probably 

the most powerful resource available for the understanding 

of their nature and function. The 

present volume investigates the ways in which 

the discourses produced in a variety of professional 

contexts, especially in business, legal and 

institutional spheres of action, shape and manifest 

professional identities. 

The focus of the studies in this collection is 

on whether, and to what extent, the in-group 

identity of a given professional community and 

the norms elaborated by it affect the communicative 

behaviour of the individual participant 

or whether, and to what extent, the professional 

communication is also affected by the participant’s 

specific objectives in the performance of 

that professional practice. 

Most of the studies reported here employ 

discourse and genre analytical and corpus linguistics 

tools to highlight the ways and means 

by which discourses contribute to the analysis 

of typical identity traits of various professional 

communities to provide some account of the 

way members of these professional commu nities 

strategically manipulate linguistic resources to 

achieve their professional objectives.

his book focuses on interpretation corpora 

which is one of the major subjects of research 

in interpreting studies. It explores key issues such 

as corpus design and representativeness, as well 

as aims and challenges of the application of corpus-linguistics 

principles and methods to interpreting. 

Interpreting corpora represent a real challenge 

because of the very nature of the items they 

are composed of. The oral dimension, the unavoidable 

stage of transcription and the difficulties 

in relying on authentic data are only some of 

the aspects that make the creation of interpreting 

corpora a complex, challenging and time-consuming 

activity. The book discusses the theoretical 

problems and presents the working phases 

leading to the collection of five different interpreting 

corpora. The variety of approaches adopted 

by each research team highlights the fact that 

aims, interrogation methods and corpus design 

are intertwined. A survey of the studies carried 

out so far using these five interpreting corpora 

identifies data comparability as the core issue of 

corpus-based interpreting studies.

iven the consolidated position of English 

as the international language for communication 

in business and management, this book 

depicts a wide scenario in which to analyse and 

compare interactions between eastern/western 

European users of English, as well as Asian/European/north 

American speakers. From each chapter, 

different sociolinguistic realities emerge. 

They affect English, as used largely by non-native 

speakers, but also the relationship between 

local or national cultures and the global professional 

discourse community. 

In this context not only the specialized lexis 

is analysed, but rather the ways in which different 

geo-political cultures construe, manifest 

and establish their identities. Although it is difficult 

to classify pragmatic usages of language, 

the six chapters in the first section deal with language 

and culture following a genre-based approach, 

whereas the six chapters of the second

section specifically consider corporate identity 

in intercultural interactions. 

This volume, which aims to avoid stereotypes 

and promote mutual understanding, is 

the offspring of a two-day seminar as part of the 

10th ESSE (European Society for the Study of English) 

Conference, held in Turin, August 2010.

his volume has its origin in a selection of 

the papers presented at the Second ELC 

International Postgraduate Conference on English 

Linguistics (ELC2), held at the University of 

Vigo in october 2009 and designed and organised 

by postgraduate students belonging to the 

English departments of the Universities of Vigo 

and Santiago de Compostela. The purpose of the 

conference was to allow young professional researchers 

to share and survey their current views 

on linguistic research. Four of the ten chapters 

included address the diachronic change undergone 

by particular lexical items, namely the 

morphosemantic change illustrated by the 

development of the morpheme punk, the historical 

evolution of including and included, the 

origin and semantics of the expletive form 

adsheartlikins, and the structure and distribution 

of nominalisations referring to actions or 

processes. Variation is also approached from a 

diatopic perspective in the study of expressions 

of obligation and necessity (must and have to) in 

new Englishes, the distribution and functions 

of the discourse marker eh in Channel Island 

English, and regional variability of vowel phonology 

in Scottish Standard English. Lastly, three 

studies address semantics and culture in the


field of L2 learning. These contributions focus 

on the assessment of Lexical Frequency Profile 

applications in the analysis of Romanian learner 

English, the role of cultural knowledge in the 

learning process of English as an International 

Language, and L1 typicality effects in L2 vocabulary 

learning.

T 

his volume offers an overview of new perspectives 

and ongoing developments in research 

on Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) 

and specialised discourse. Traditionally investigated 

on the basis of terminology and genre studies, 

the area now also draws on such diverse fields 

as sociolinguistics, sociology, psychology and 

communication studies. This widening range of 

perspectives increases the need for insights into 

and knowledge about current developments in 

research on LSP and specialised discourse. The 

chapters included here have been selected to address 

this need. Based on papers presented at the 

XVII European LSP Symposium, they reflect its focus: 

aims and methods in current research on LSP 

and specialised discourse. Two chapters present 

the research history of the area, its current status, 

and emergent issues. nine chapters exemplify 

methods currently applied, new aims pursued, 

or new aims supported by innovative methods. 

The methods include discourse analysis, use 

of specialist informants, study of multimedia 

texts, sociological observation, interviews, etc. 

The aims vary from unveiling politicians’ linguistic 

representation of the 2008 financial meltdown 

over inclusion of visual representations in LSP 

research to clarifying the limits of lay understanding 

of specialised knowledge. In sum, the volume 

offers the reader a holistic, yet multi-faceted overview 

of state-of-the-art research in this area.

Left Dislocation in English 

A Functional-discoursal Approach

T 

his volume investigates Left dislocation 

(Ld) in the recent history of English, especially 

in the Late Modern English period, from 

the syntactic, semantic, informational and discourse-functional 

perspectives. Chapter 1 pro- 


vides a workable definition of Ld. A distinction 

is made between several different Ld configurations 

within a gradient including a prototype 

and less central types by taking into account 

grammatical and compositional features. Chapter 

2 reconsiders the semantic, informational 

and syntactic interpretations of the theme-topic 

interface and explores the role of Ld as far as 

these three views are concerned. The informational 

and cognitive-functional features of leftdislocates 

are analysed as a set of quantifiable 

features, namely topicality (or topic persistence), 

information status and syntactic distributional 

features. Chapter 3 deals with the multifunctional 

character of Ld at the discourse level. The 

main processing and interactive functions of Ld 

are further specified by means of a typology of 

four major functions and four minor functions 

that relies on contextual features such as referentiality 

(Introductory or Forefronting), the semantic 

relationship between the dislocate and 

the copy (narrowing or Contrastive), on general 

interactional circumstances (Acknowledge or 

Summarising) or on the speaker’s attitude (Predicative 

or Correction).

I 

n many parts of the world the language education 

scenario is increasingly dynamic, as 

demographic, economic and social changes powerfully 

influence socio-political agendas in the 

sphere of language education. These in turn impact 

on complex issues such as linguistic pluralism, 

multiculturalism, and marginalization. This 

is especially so in the sphere of second language 

education where local, national and regional concerns 

often dominate the objectives underpinning 

policy choice and prioritisation. This volume 

brings together scholars and researchers 

from a wide range of different educational contexts 

and turns a sociolinguistic lens on some of 

the key areas of concern for researchers in language 

education: critical awareness of power and 

identity issues; competence in dealing with new 

sociolinguistic repertoires, modalities and literacies; 

ethical concerns for all who are involved. The 

‘case study’ approach enables the reader to reflect 

on and critically engage with these issues in a rich 

variety of contextual situations, and the volume 

as a whole provides a useful overview of (second) 

language education in the world today.

he book presents a text-based study of discourse 

practices in placement, a hybrid 

zone which re-contextualises academic knowledge 

and professional practices. Using Lave and 

Wenger’s Communities of Practice as the overarching 

theoretical framework, the study investigates 

how novices learn to write like their professional 

counterparts. By collecting texts completed 

in various placement contexts and in-depth 

qualitative interviews with informants, the study 

features a multi-dimensional approach to the 

analysis of discourse practices in terms of text 

construction and text consumption. The issues 

of genre, feedback, identity and role associated 

with placement learning are brought into focus.

rawing upon a convergence of sociocultural 

theory and linguistic emergentism, 

this book presents a longitudinal investigation 

of the development of ESL users’ written lexicogrammatical 

patterning (collocations and colligations). 

A qualitative methodology (‘Lexical 

Trail Analysis’) was developed in order to capture 

a dynamic and historical view of the ways 

in which the participants combined words in 

their writing. This involved tracing single lexemes 

diachronically through individuals’ written 

corpora. The writers were interviewed about 

the histories of particular word combinations. 

Selected patterns were later tested using the 

principles of dynamic testing. The findings of 

these combined data types – essays, interviews 

and tests – suggest that sociocognitive resources 

such as memory and attention and the ability 

to imitate and adapt linguistic resources are 

paramount in the massive task of internalizing 

the lexicogrammatical patterning of a second 

language. The participants were agents of change, 

seeking assistance and adapting patterns to suit 

their changing goals. Their activity is theorized 

in a model of language patterning from which 

implications for second language learning and 

teaching are drawn.

esearch into the complex phenomenon of 

multilingualism is rapidly increasing. This 

book looks at multilingualism through its interfaces 

with language policies, language attitudes 

and issues of language awareness and identity. 

The aim is to examine the dynamic processes 

that lead or hinder the development of such phenomena. 

one of the scopes of the volume is to 

represent the complexity of the multilingual 

speaker by shedding light on different multilingual 

settings in the world. The chapters of this 

volume tackle the topic from a sociolinguistic 

perspective by showing how multilingualism is 

dynamically constructed. They provide empirical 

research on language learning in different 

multilingual environments in the world as well 

as practical suggestions for the investigation 

of multilingualism and the improvement of its 

education.

his book investigates lexical borrowing 

processes of our era in a sociolinguistic 

context. Innovatively, it seeks to examine language 

contact in a comprehensive way, taking 

into account socio- and psycholinguistic aspects 

as well as implications for language politics. 

As the sociolinguistic focus is primary, the 

volume also discusses how technology influences 

languages and to what extent it creates 

new conditions for language contact. As a result, 

it is proposed that the term language contact 

needs to be reevaluated, since the context of globalization 

has changed its very essence. 

As the increase in the importance of English 

has been the most significant global geolinguistic 

event in the past fifty years, the role of English 

as an international lingua franca in modern 

borrowing is analyzed in detail. Two case studies 

are also given, one on the role of English in 

the EU and another on the linguistic situation 

of multilingual Switzerland. The characteristic 

features of lexical borrowing are illustrated in 


a complex way on linguistic material of a total 

of over 5000 recent loans in English, Spanish, 

German and Hungarian.

of disciplines (linguistics, communication 

studies, management studies, sociology, marketing). 

What unites the contributions is the discursive 

framework they adopt for the analysis 

of corporate communication, looking at it as a 

situated activity in a broadly constructionist 

paradigm. The various sections are organized 

along an internal-to-external-communication 

gradient, starting from the analysis of communication 

within a company’s ordinary operational 

activities and moving gradually towards 

types of discourse that are specifically aimed at 

communication to the public at large, including 

their representation in the media. The picture 

that emerges is a good approximation to an accurate 

and updated snapshot of the state of the 

art in research and expertise in the area of corporate 

and institutional communication.

his book represents a fresh look at cohesion, 

the point of departure being Halliday 

and Hasan’s seminal Cohesion in English, which 

is examined in depth as are other notable approaches 

to cohesion such as Hoey’s Patterns of 

Lexis in Text. It also compares different studies 

of relevance to cohesion from other areas of linguistics, 

such as: generative grammar, Functional 

Sentence Perspective (FSP), and corpus 

linguistics. In this way, this work extends discussion 

of cohesion beyond the realms of systemic 

linguistics to include a broader spectrum 

of approaches including research into languages 

other than English. The main focus, however, is 

on varieties of English and on general and specialised 

discourse types. 

Rather than limiting itself to the text as product, 

the manifestation of a discourse, this book 

looks at cohesion from the wider perspective of 

discourse, seen as an interactive process. Consequently, 

different sociolinguistic and cultural 

factors are also taken into consideration: How 

far is cohesion a constitutive feature of text? 

What is the precise link between cohesion and 

coherence? What specific role does discourse 

have in phenomena such as anaphora? do such 

things as cohesive universals exist across languages? 

How far do socio-cultural, or discoursespecific, 

conventions contribute to the type and 

degree of cohesion present in a text?

S 

peech Acts and Politeness are among the 

main areas of interest in pragmatics. These 

communicative phenomena can be considered 

universal and at the same time language and culture-specific. 

It is this latter dimension that has 

been at the centre of recent developments in pragmatics, 

and it is also the focus of this book. The 

aim of this book is to reflect this development, 

providing evidence from four main areas crucial 

to pragmatics across languages and cultures: a 

description of a variety of speech acts and politeness 

strategies in different languages and cultures, 

a cross-cultural comparison of several speech 

acts and patterns of politeness, an in-depth analysis 

of issues concerning the learning and teaching 

of speech acts and politeness in second/foreign 

languages, as well as some methodological resources 

in pragmatics. This book is intended for 

researchers, scholars and students interested in 

the field of pragmatics, in general, or in the fields 

of cross-cultural and second/foreign language 

pragmatics, and specifically for those interested 

in speech acts and politeness. It will also be useful 

to any scholar interested in how communication 

and culture are related.

he studies collected in this volume contribute 

to shedding light on the multi-faceted 

complexity and stratification of identity within 

the context of corporate communication, by definition 

characterized by the interplay and intersection 

among genres, discursive practices and 

communicative events involving both individual 

and collective actors. The texts investigated in-


clude openly promotional genres specifically aimed 

at constructing and promoting a company’s image 

in the marketplace, such as those used in 

sponsorship and advertising, as well as organizational 

genres which in spite of their primarily operational 

purpose also incorporate cues aimed at 

the planned self-representation of the enterprise. 

The arguments presented in the various chapters 

and the research results supporting them bring 

evidence to the crucial role discourse plays in the 

construction of corporate identity at all levels.

his collection of articles covers a wide range 

of topics in English philology and history 

of linguistics. The volume proceeds from old 

English studies offering a unique perspective 

and approach in literary and linguistic research 

into Anglo-Saxon England. Two articles deal with 

English phonology from both historical and contemporary 

standpoints, and another with a theoretical 

discussion of etymological inquiry. The 

last section contains three articles focusing on 

the history of linguistics or the history of ideas. 

The wide range of topics addressed in the 12 chap- 


ters of this volume reflects the diversity of interests 

in the research efforts of Shoichi Watanabe, 

professor emeritus at Sophia University, to whom 

this volume is dedicated by his former students. 

He is not only highly valued as a distinguished 

professor of English philology, but also acknowledged 

for his critique of civilization with his 

unique view of history and culture.

erived from the successful International 

Seminar on Corpus Linguistics, New Trends 

in Language Teaching and Translation Studies: 

In Honour of John Sinclair (Granada, September 

2008), organised by the research groups AdELEX 

(Assessing and developing Lexical Competence) 

and ECPC (European Comparable and Parallel 

Corpora), seven contributions from well-known 

scholars in the field focus their attention on recent 

advances made in Corpus Linguistics in 

Language Teaching. The first four chapters deal 

with more practical issues of applying corpora 

to language learning and teaching, examining 

particularly the integration of data-driven learning 

and different types of corpora including 

pedagogical, spoken multimedia and parallel. 

The last three chapters are concerned more with 

corpus-based research for language teaching 

arguing for more refined statistical methodology, 

comparing conversational features of the 

British national Corpus with a micro-corpus of 

movies and forwarding the case for research into 

corpus-based, meaning-oriented multimodal 

annotation, respectively. This volume is homage 

to John Sinclair’s academic legacy and the 

groundbreaking work which continues to honour 

his name.

his book presents a comprehensive corpusbased 

analysis of full-verb inversion in 

present-day English. The author examines the 

distribution and pragmatic functions of full-verb 

inversion in different fictional and non-fictional 

text styles as well as in the spoken language. Surprisingly 

enough, inversion in oral communication 

has not yet received the attention it deserves, 

since most work on the topic has been restricted 

to the written language. It has often been claimed 

that full-verb inversion occurs mainly in written 

discourse, but these claims have not yet been 

backed up by a detailed corpus-based analysis. 

This book provides a more conclusive picture of 

the distribution of full inversion in speech and 

writing and analyses the distinct pragmatic functions 

that the construction serves in these two 

modes of communication.

his volume aims to carry out a comprehensive 

analysis of those nouns within the structure 

of the noun phrase which are referred to as 

n+n sequences (e.g. drug addiction, computer cluster). 

They are studied from three perspectives, 

namely their status as syntactic constructs, their 

evolution as becoming morphological items 

through a process of lexicalisation – whereby they 

gradually acquire properties of a semantic, morphological, 

orthographic and phonological nature 

–, and their use in which several variables such as 

speech community, mode and textual category 

are in operation. Additionally, this volume touches 

upon the problems in establishing clear-cut boundaries 

between morphology and syntax in order 

to define their status and evolution. A comprehensive 

corpus analysis rounds off the study.

he studies presented in this volume focus 

on two distinct but related areas of specialized 

communication professional and academic 

settings, resting on an anti-essentialist notion 

of identity as a phenomenon that emerges from 

the dialectic between individual and society. 

The authors start from a detailed analysis of 

discourse practices as evidenced in texts, their 

production and the professional performance 

patterns which underlie such practices, and explore 

the way the actors, roles and identities are 

constructed in language and discourse. In particular, 

by highlighting discursive attitudes and 

aptitudes, they underscore the need to understand 

discourse in light of norms of professional 

responsibility, showing that not only do professionals 

and academics use discourse to create 

self-identity, but they also use identity constructed 

through discourse to influence society.

A 

broad strand of applied linguistic research 

has focused on the language of science and 

scholarship, stressing its role in the construction 

and negotiation of knowledge claims. Central 

to the success of such texts is the use of evaluative 

expressions encoding what is considered 

to be desirable or undesirable in a given domain. 

While the speech acts relevant to evaluation 

have been extensively researched, little is known 

of the underlying values they encode. This volume 

seeks to fill the gap by exploring the main 

facets of academic value in a corpus of research 

articles from leading journals in anthropology, 

biology, computer science, economics, engineering, 

history, mathematics, medicine, physics and 

sociology. The collocations and qualified entities 

associated with such variables in the corpus 

provide insights into how scholars draw on a 

repertoire of conventional, largely unqualified, 

axiological meanings instrumental to the production 

of new knowledge in their field.

his volume presents some of the findings 

from a project on various aspects of Alternative 

dispute Resolution (AdR), including conciliation, 

mediation, and arbitration. To study 

the discursive practices of AdR today, an international 

initiative has been undertaken by a 

group of specialists in discourse analysis, law, 

and arbitration from more than twenty countries. 

The chapters in this volume draw on discourse-based 

data (narrative, documentary and 

interactional) to investigate the extent to which 

the ‘integrity’ of AdR principles is maintained 

in practice, and to what extent there is an increasing 

level of influence from litigative processes 

and procedures. The primary evidence 

for such practices comes from textual and discourse-based 

studies, ethnographic observations, 

and narratives of experience on the part 

of experts in the field, as well as on the part of 

some of the major corporate stakeholders drawn 

from commercial sectors.

his book deals with bilingual education in 

general, but it pays special attention to bilingual 

education in monolingual areas. one 

central aim is to study the effects of bilingual 

programmes during the final stages of Primary 

and Secondary Education in contexts where the 

L2 (English) is not normally used as an instrument 

of social communication in the students’ 

environment, but instead is used only at school, 

where some subject areas are undertaken totally 

or partially in this language. The reader inter- 


ested in bilingual education will find a valuable 

source of information on different bilingual programmes 

in the USA and Spain: what schools do 

and the contents they teach, their timetable and 

extracurricular activities; the specific objectives 

that they aim to achieve and the methodology 

they use, with special reference to the CLIL approach, 

the schools and the students’ level of 

success with bilingual education, the most common 

problems that they have to face in monolingual 

areas and how to solve them.

his volume reflects the latest work of scholars 

specialising in the linguistic and legal 

aspects of normative texts across languages (English, 

danish, French, Italian, Spanish) and law 

systems. Like other domains of specialised language 

use, legal discourse is subject to the converging 

pressures of internationalisation and of 

emerging practices that destabilise well-established 

norms and routines. In an integrated, 

interdependent context, supranational laws, 

rules and procedures are gradually developed 

and harmonised to regulate issues that can no 

longer be dealt with by national laws alone, as 

in the case of the European Union. The contributors 

discuss the impact of such developments 

on the construction, evolution and hybridi sation 

of legal texts, analysed both linguistically and 

from the practitioner’s standpoint.

orpora are among the hottest issues in 

translation studies affecting both pure and 

applied realms of the discipline. As for pure translation 

studies, corpora have done their part 

through contributions to the studies on translational 

language and translation universals. 

Yet, their recent contribution is within the borders 

of applied translation studies, i.e. translator 

training and translation aids. The former is 

the major focus of the present book. 

The present book in fact aims at providing 

readers with comprehensive information about 

corpora in translation studies in general, and

corpora in translator education in particular. 

It further offers researchers and practitioners 

a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of studies 

done on corpora in translator education and 

provides a rich source of information on pros 

and cons of using different types of corpora as 

translation aids in the context of translation 

classrooms.

Q 

uestions of how to access and analyze the 

use of English as a global language are central 

to the study of the continuing spread of English 

as a vehicle of cross-cultural communication. 

The present book explores the relationship 

between the functions and forms of English as 

a Lingua Franca, and introduces the concept of 

Lingua Franca English to deal with the systematic 

differences between national native varieties 

of English and the non-native varieties 

which have developed relatively recently. The 

investigation of the sociolinguistic and linguistic 

processes involved in the development of Lingua 

Franca English focuses on Switzerland, and 

is carried out by means of a detailed comparative 

linguistic analysis of a large amount of data 

obtained from written and spoken English produced 

by Swiss speakers. The result is a detailed 

and critical description of current issues affecting 

the study of English as an international language, 

and a thorough investigation of the ongoing 

processes resulting from the interaction 

of Swiss people with different language back- 


grounds in shaping the nature of the English 

spoken in Switzerland. By examining the characteristics 

of English as it is used in Switzerland, 

light is shed on the diachronic problem of the 

focusing mechanisms involved in the growth of 

non-native varieties of English and processes of 

second language acquisition generally.

A 

cademic texts present subject-specific ideas 

within a subject-independent framework. 

This book accounts for the presence of academic 

words in academic writing by exploring recurring 

patterns of function in texts representing 

different subject areas. The book presents a framework 

which describes academic word use at the 

ideational, textual and interpersonal levels. 

Functional categories are presented and illustrated 

which explain the role of academic words 

alongside general purpose and technical terms. 

The author examines biomedical research articles, 

and journal articles from arts, commerce 

and law. A comparable analysis focuses on 

university textbook chapters. Case studies investigate 

patterns of functionality within the 

main sections of research articles, compare word 

use in academic and non-academic texts reporting 

on the same research, and explore the 

carrier word function of academic vocabulary. 

The study concludes by looking at historical and 

contemporary processes which have shaped the 

presence of academic vocabulary in the English 

lexicon.

he chapters constituting this volume focus 

on legal language seen from cross-cultural 

perspectives, a topic which brings together 

two areas of research that have burgeoned in recent 

years, i.e. legal linguistics and intercultural 

studies, reflecting the rapidly changing, multifaceted 

world in which legal institutions and cultural/national 

identities interact. Within the 

broad thematic leitmotif of this volume, it has 

been possible to identify two major strands: legal 

discourse across languages on the one hand, 

and legal discourse across cultures on the other. 

of course, labels of this kind are adopted partly 

as a matter of convenience, and it could be argued 

that any paper dealing with legal discourse 

across languages inevitably has to do with legal 

discourse across cultures. But a closer inspection 

of the papers comprising each of these two 

strands reveals that there is a coherent logic behind 

the choice of labels. All seven chapters in 

the first section are concerned with legal topics 

where more than one language is at stake, whereas 

all seven chapters in the second section are concerned 

with legal topics where cultural differences 

are brought to the fore.

T 

he recognition that identity is mutable, 

multi-layered and subject to multiple 

modes of construction and de-construction has 

contributed to problematizing the issues associated 

with its representation in discourse, 

which has recently been attracting increasing 

attention in different disciplinary areas. Identity 

representation is the main focus of this volume, 

which analyses instances of multimedia 

and multimodal communication to the public 

at large for commercial, informative, political 

or cultural purposes. In particular, it examines 

the impact of the increasingly sophisticated 

forms of expression made available by the evolution 

of communication technologies, especially 

in computer-mediated or web-based set- 


tings, but also in more traditional media (press, 

cinema, TV). The basic assumption shared by 

all contributors is that communication is the 

locus where identities, either collective, social 

or individual, are deliberately constructed and 

negotiated. 

In their variety of topics and approaches, the 

studies collected in this volume testify to the 

criticality of representing personal, professional 

and organizational identities through the new 

media, as their ability to reach a virtually unlimited 

audience amplifies the potential political, 

cultural and economic impact of discursive 

identity constructions. They also confirm that 

new highly sophisticated media can forge identities 

well beyond the simply iconic or textual 

representation, generating deeply interconnected 

webs of meaning capable of occupying 

an expanding – and adaptable – discursive space.

his collection reflects Minoji Akimoto’s 

concern with studies of change in English 

that are theoretically-informed, but founded on 

substantial bodies of data. Some of the contributors 

focus on individual texts and text-types, 

among them literature and journalism, others 

on specific periods, from old English to the nineteenth 

century, but the majority trace a linguistic 

process – such as negation, passivisation, 

complementation or grammaticalisation – 

through the history of English. While several papers 

take a fresh look at manuscript evidence, 

the harnessing of wideranging electronic corpora 

is a recurring feature methodologically. 

The linguistic fields treated include word semantics, 

stylistics, orthography, word-order, pragmatics 

and lexicography. The volume also contains 

a bibliography of Professor Akimoto’s writings 

and an index of linguistic terms.

his book offers readers a basic grounding 

in autonomy and related concepts of agency 

and identity in foreign language education. The 

ethnographic study explores how autonomy develops 

within the long-term process of EFL and 

TEFL learning in a Chinese social and institutional 

context. Through examining the general 

characteristics and patterns within the longterm 

development of autonomy among the students, 

the enquiry puts under close scrutiny a 

number of fundamental issues in autonomy research 

and practice, such as reactive autonomy 

in relation to proactive autonomy, personal 

autonomy in relation to learner autonomy, othercontrol 

in relation to self-control in the «multicontrol 

model» of autonomy, and also issues of 

autonomy in the transition from foreign language 

learning to foreign language teaching. 

The study presents the more «describable» concepts 

of identity and agency to investigate the 

development of autonomy in foreign language 

learning and teaching and explores their complex 

interrelationships. The book finally highlights 

major contributions and limitations of 

the investigation, and provides implications and 

suggestions for theory, pedagogy and research.

nspired by Frank Palmer’s work, this book 

addresses a set of specific topics pertaining 

to the description of modality in English and 

places them in a broader context. A number of 

more general theoretical and typological matters 

are also raised, which bear upon the theory 

of syntax, semantics and pragmatics and their 

interfaces. The methodology adopted is mostly 

functional-typological, though some reference 

is made to various theoretical frameworks, ranging 

from cognitive linguistics to parametric 

variation. Modal meanings are seen to extend 

beyond particular lexical and grammatical exponents, 

through sentential semantics and into 

actual contexts of use. At the same time, the 

study of modality seems to challenge commonly 

held views on the relationship between different 

levels of linguistic analysis. other languages 

discussed include Brazilian Portuguese, Classical 

and Modern Greek and Spanish.

his book represents a step forward into the 

development of text-setting studies from 

an optimality Theory perspective, concentrating 

on the strong bond between the rhythm of 

spoken language and that of text set to music. 

It provides an overview of the prosodic characteristics 

of spoken English and Spanish (both 

synchronic and diachronic) as well as the evolution 

of their standard versification systems in 

order to explore the systematic application of a 

number of text-setting optimality Theory constraints 

to a large corpus of English and Spanish 

folk and art songs. The theoretical and empiri- 


cal analysis of the song corpus is developed to 

raise interest in the study of suprasegmental 

phonology from an interdisciplinary point of 

view, presenting vocal music as a firm locus for 

the study of prosody, as well as to determine the 

degree of accuracy of the oT-based theories argued 

for in the existing literature.

M 

ore than ever, professional English is 

now cruising towards an enormous challenge 

in the European university context due to 

the extremely significant moment we are living 

in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). 

The European convergence process is demanding 

immediate reflections, serious analyses, and 

profound reforms in specialized language teaching 

that lead to reach Bologna standards by 2010. 

This book aims to present an overview of 

professional English in the current academic 

landscape in Europe. It intends to shed light on 

a range of issues, both theoretical and practical, 

related to ESP, focusing on discourse analysis, 

corpus analysis, information and communication 

technologies, methodological approaches, 

curriculum design, and empirical research into 

language learning in broad terms. Because teachers 

need to be researchers and inquirers, this 

overview thus makes a contribution to the professional 

English field with the purpose of highlighting 

several important questions in the entire 

ESP academic mainstream. Scholars from 



different European universities explore specialized

he present volume bears witness to the 

Europewide character of the Content and 

Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) enterprise 

by featuring contributions from researchers and 

teacher-educators from a range of European 

countries spanning the geographical expanse 

of the continent from east (Estonia) to west 

(United Kingdom) and from north (Finland) to 

south (Spain, Italy). More importantly, the different 

national contexts are characterised by diverse 

cultural stances and policies vis-à-vis second 

and foreign language learning in general 

and learning specific languages in particular 

and it is evident that such contextual factors impinge 

on what are identified as central concerns 

both in CLIL implementation and research.

T 

his volume investigates to what extent 

existing approaches to pragmatics and 

discourse shed light on how the form of a text 

creates stylistic effects. Taking a cross-cultural 

perspective, this book focuses on five key stylistic 

features of writing – paragraph structure, 

length and construction of sentences, organisation 

of information in sentences, relative formality 

of vocabulary, amount of nominalisation 

– widely seen as partly responsible for the different 

impressions created by academic writing 

in English and Italian. The author develops a 

theo retical framework for the investigation of 

intuitions about stylistic differences from a contrastive 

point of view. To this end, the book gives 

an overview of recent scholarly approaches to 

writing and reading, genre studies, contrastive 

rhetoric and the notions of style and stylistics, 

together with an assessment of several individual 

approaches.

his book covers in a systematic way the 

main systems of phonetic transcription 

currently used for English. Unlike other texts in 

the market, which focus on just one type of transcriptional 

model, the book provides theoretical 

information and full practice for all systems. 

The material is divided into seven sections headed 

by a lengthy introduction to the history and de-


velopment of the International Phonetic Alphabet. 

A set of eighteen samples from real contemporary 

colloquial English (British English), graded 

in terms of difficulty, follows. The accent chosen 

is the one known as RP or BBC English, with some 

minor concession to other regional varieties 

which do not stray dramatically from RP. different 

models of representation are used under 

three main transcription systems: qualitative, 

quantitative and mixed. By using an identical 

set of texts in ordinary spelling for each system, 

the reader can constantly check different ways 

of transcribing a word or an utterance depending 

on the model used.

he history of regional ‘Englishes’ in the 

Early Modern period still presents numerous 

lacunae that need to be filled, in order to provide 

a complete insight into the English linguistic 

setting at this time. This book aims to remedy 

these deficiencies in some measure. In 

particular, this monograph seeks to shed light 

upon the history of Early Modern northern English 

vocabulary by means of the first corpus of 

Early Modern texts where northern linguistic 

traits are used for literary purposes. It provides 

a linguistically documented description of northern 

words from a synchronic standpoint, dealing 

with their distribution, etymology, as well 

as with some of their morphological and semantic 

characteristics. In addition, this study offers 

a discussion of the Early Modern literary representations 

of northern speech. A thorough re- 

vision of the treatment that northern lexical 

items are given in contemporary and modern 

lexicographic sources is also presented, together 

with a glossary that outlines the diachronic profile 

of the terms gathered.

I 

n order for science to advance, previous research 

findings must be reviewed and criticized. 

However, conveying criticism is particularly 

difficult for scientists who must, at the same 

time, try to maintain an impersonal stance. This 

co-edited collection of independent studies written 

by scholars from many different countries 

addresses the thorny issue of criticism in science 

through discourse analysis of written scientific 

texts. 

The research reported in this volume deals 

with questions such as: 1) how criticism is conveyed 

by various linguistic communities, such 

as Serbian, French, Spanish, German and English; 

2) how criticism is handled in various genres, 

with examples drawn from book reviews, 

referees’ reports, research articles, editorials, 

and review/meta-analysis papers; 3) the extent 

to which criticism is influenced by academic discipline, 

with findings from linguistics, economics, 

biology, business, musicology, chemistry, literary 

research, medicine, and physics, and 4) the 

impact interpersonal considerations have on 

the linguistic realization of criticism. 

The conclusions reached by these contributions 

have implications for both the academic

world and society at large in the sense that a 

fuller understanding of how criticism is expressed 

will help in the education of future scholars 

and in the understanding of the social construction 

of knowledge.

his volume approaches the analysis of variation 

in English from diachronic, diatopic, 

and contrastive/comparative perspectives. 

The individual case studies, all closely interrelated, 

are organized into three parts or sections. 

Part I (Diachronic Studies) applies a variationist 

methodology to the analysis of developments 

in the use of the courtesy marker please, adverbs 

in -ly, the s- genitive and a number of phrasal 

combinations with the verb get. It also examines 

Early Modern English regional dialect vocabulary. 

Part II (Diatopic Studies) is concerned 

with the analysis of several morphological and 

phonological features in different varieties of 

English, namely Standard English, Modern Scottish 

English, Galwegian English, and Black South- 

African English. Part III (Contrastive Studies) 

contains four chapters dealing with the contrastive 

analysis of a number of morphosyntactic 

features, such as the use of modifiers of adjectives 

by advanced learners of English, the acquisition 

and use of aspect by advanced EFL learners 

with different mother-tongue backgrounds, 

a comparison of the tempo-aspectual categories 

of English and Italian, and some of the problems 

encountered by researchers when compiling 

and analysing learner corpora of spoken 

language.

T 

his book puts forward the specialised lexicographical 

approach (SLA) as the result 

of a natural evolution in the field of specialised 

dictionary-making that goes a step further the 

«mere» terminographical practice. The kind of 

specialised lexicographical works to be obtained 

with this approach are specialised, active, userfriendly, 

user-focused, corpus-based dictionaries 

deeply grounded on the belief that terminology 

has a practical, communicative dimension 

that terminographical works have not 

normally reflected. All through this book the 

theoretical and applied aspects of this approach 

have been illustrated by showing the elaboration 

process of an active, corpus-based, bilingual 

(English-Spanish, Spanish-English) dictionary 

of the ceramics industry. The first part of the 

book provides a sound theoretical framework 

in which the different aspects involved in the 

creation of dictionaries within the SLA for speciality 

areas of knowledge have been progressively 

disclosed – namely, a review on specialised 

languages, corpus linguistics, terminology 

and socio-economic aspects – all this leading to 

the final characterisation of specialised lexicography 

from a theoretical perspective. on the basis 

of this theoretical framework and according 

to the SLA, this book also presents an innovative, 

corpus-based method of work for specialised 

dictionary-making, closely linked to the use 

of corpora, terminotics and new technologies.

he studies presented in this volume concentrate 

on different aspects of the medical, 

scientific and technical varieties of early English 

used in a wide range of medieval manuscripts. 

As the growing body of research published 

in recent years has shown, analysing the language 

of specialised texts is an opportunity to 

obtain access to the early history and vernacularisation 

of learned writing styles. It is an area 

of study in which all the contributors have considerable 

expertise, which affords them to present 

data findings while discussing important methodological 

issues. In addition, in most cases data 

derive from specially-designed ‘second-generation’ 

corpora, reflecting state-of-the-art approaches 

to historical linguistics, discourse 

analysis and pragmatics. Theoretical issues concerning 

the digital edition of medical and 

scientific texts, their role in social network 

analysis, and their value in the identification of 

dialectal specific traits are highlighted by the 

authors.

his volume explores the relationship between 

shared disciplinary norms and individual 

traits in academic speech and writing. 

despite the standardising pressure of cultural 

and language-related factors, academic communication 

remains in many ways a highly personal 

affair, with active participation in a disciplinary 

community requiring a multidimensional 

discourse that combines the professional, 

institutional, social and individual identities of 

its members. 

The first section of the volume deals with 

tensions involving individual/collective values 

and the analysis of collective vs. individual discoursal 

features in academic discourse. The second 

section comprises longitudinal investigations 

of the academic output of single scholars, 

so as to highlight the individuality in their choices 

and the reasons for not conforming with the


commonality of conventions shared by their 

professional community. The third part deals 

with genres that are meant to impose commonality 

on the members of an academic community, 

not only in the drafting of specialized texts 

but also when these are reviewed or evaluated 

for possible publication.

riginally presented at the second in the 

newly-launched series of International 

Conferences on English Historical dialectology, 

held at the University of Bergamo in August 2007, 

the contributions collected in this volume discuss 

significant aspects of socio-geo-historical 

variation in language. In addition to British English, 

the focus is on dutch, Scots and varieties of 

English outside England (in Wales and in the 

American colonies of the seventeenth century), 

in a time span ranging from medieval times to 

the nineteenth century. The aim is to highlight 

the traits that allow scholars to approach the 

study of English in a broader European perspective, 

identifying the patterns that show convergence 

or divergence, not just in terms of shared 

linguistic features (morphosyntactic, lexical or 

pragmatic), but also in terms of methodological 

approaches. In this respect, great attention is 

given to the latest developments in corpus and 

computational linguistics, showing the extent 

to which such new tools as electronic atlases and 

tagged corpora may facilitate answers to important 

research questions. At the same time, perceptual 

dialectology is awarded new interest on 

account of its significant role in normative and 

argumentative language use.

H 

ow can you teach the English language to 

global English speakers? Can English be 

taught as an international language? Is it worth 

teaching? Isn’t it more proper and profitable to 

learn a standard variety of English? How realistic 

and useful is the identification of an EIL/ELF 

variety? Can an EIL/ELF standard be identified? 

These are some of the questions the present volume 

has addressed with the contribution of some 

of the most qualified scholars in the field of English 

linguistics. The book is divided into four sections. 

The first part deals with the definition of 

English as an international language and English 

as a lingua franca. Section two takes six different 

teaching issues into consideration. The 

third section examines some learning issues 

and the last part of the volume debates the relationship 

between teacher and student in an English 

as a lingua franca environment.

ll languages encode aspects of culture and 

every culture has its own specificities to 

be proud of and to be transmitted. The papers 

in this book explore aspects of this relationship 


between language and culture, considering issues 

related to the processes of internationalization 

and localization of the English language. 

The volume is divided into two sections, complementing 

each other; the first one (Localizing 

English) focuses on the significance of ethnic 

knowledge, local culture, and tradition wherever 

English is used. The second one (Internationalizing 

English) deals with the degrees and 

patterns of internationalization of English deriving 

from its contact with diverse cultures and 

its adaptation to different professional settings 

and communicative purposes.

he issue of English and its global versions 

has a lot to do with globalization at large 

as the most invasive factor currently shaping 

the way we live, produce cultural artifacts, and 

communicate across linguistic and political borders. 

The distinction between correct and incorrect 

usage being to some extent irrelevant within 

a global context, this volume looks at Global English 

in relation to global media, both traditional 

and electronic (magazines, websites, and news 

distribution). It then addresses the issue from 

the point of view of language teaching, academic 

discourse and world music. The final section is 

concerned with the role of English within communities 

of professionals (marketing, accounting, 

psychoanalysis) in an international context. 

The volume includes essays from scholars 

who adopt different viewpoints, ranging from 

corpus linguistics to lexicology, sociolinguistics, 

and translation studies.

ased on original research and novel concepts, 

this book investigates the nature 

and use of terminology from linguistic and applied 

viewpoints. Throughout, problems with 

terminology, such as overuse by teachers and 

cases of synonymy and polysemy, are considered 

and solutions are offered. 

Part one looks firstly at some basic concepts, 

then draws important distinctions between 

pedagogic and scientific terminology, and 

between transparent, opaque and iconic terms, 

before examining the historical, lexical and 

grammatical nature of terms. 

Part Two attempts to estimate the value and 

relevance of terminology in language teaching 

and describes the use and knowledge of terminology 

in various language-teaching-related 

constituencies: learners, teachers, textbooks,

grammars and research. It concludes with a discussion 

of the criteria for evaluating terms and 

an analysis of terms used in ELT.

he adoption of Content and Language Integrated 

Learning (CLIL) in Higher Education 

teaching has been widespread. This learning 

strategy has developed the need to learn foreign 

languages and to communicate with people 

with different cultural backgrounds. Culture 

learning should be part of language and content 

teaching as Higher Education involves language 

skills, topic comprehension and sociological capabilities. 

Teachers explore new teaching strategies 

which imply diverse goals and focus on 

different cultural backgrounds. 

The contributions of this book comment 

the multicultural awareness of the students 

involved in learning another language and the 

facts implied in teaching in a multicultural 

environment.

as the internet changed the nature of conducting 

controversies? This question cannot 

be answered easily as different forms of human 

interaction in an online environment exist 

and controversies in an online environment 

have not been analyzed from a linguistic point 

of view so far. on the other hand, there are many 

linguistic analyses of controversies in the Early 

Modern Period. First, this volume describes the 

communicative background of two online 

discussion forums dedicated to the study of historical 

arms and armor. Then, the volume analyzes 

the similarities and differences between 

Early Modern controversies and controversies 

in online internet discussion forums. Further, 

this book offers an accurate analysis of the strategies 

used in online discussion forums, analyzing 

two controversial threads taken from two 

online discussion forums and provides insights 

into the individual tactics and strategies applied 

in online controversies and highlights the similarities 

and differences of applied principles, 

norms, and rules. The book finally comments 

on stylistic choices used by participants in the 

controversies.

his book contains a collection of original 

research articles on lexicography written 

by prominent international scholars within the 

field. It aims at describing the state-of-the-art in 

lexicography at the beginning of the 21st century 

and at making proposals for future theoretical 

and practical work in the field. 

Theoretical lexicography currently has two 

competing theories: a contemplative theory focusing 

on the description of existing dictionaries 

on the basis of linguistic principles, and a 

function-based, transformative theory focusing 

on the dictionary and the user in order to develop 

new principles for dictionary research and 

dictionary making. Research in lexicography 

has now reached a crossroads and it is time to 

take stock of the present situation and try to 

identify the theories and principles that will set 

the agenda and point the direction for future 

lexicographic research and the production of 

printed and electronic dictionaries.

I 

nvestigating Specialized Discourse is a shortened 

and revised textbook edition of the monograph 

Specialized Discourse (2003). This book analyses the 

various features of specialized discourse in order 

to assess its degree of specificity and diversification, 

as compared to general language. Prior to any 

analysis of such traits, the notion of specialized discourse 

and its distinctive properties are clarified. 

The presence of such properties is accounted for 

not only in linguistic but also in pragmatic terms 

since the approach is interpretative rather than 

merely descriptive. Indeed, the complexity of this 

discourse calls for a multidimensional analysis, covering 

both lexis and morpho-syntax as well as textual 

patterning. Some lexical aspects, morpho-syntactic 

features and textual genres are also examined 

from a diachronic perspective, thus showing 

how various conventions concerning specialized 

discourse have developed over the last centuries.
