Digital Resources, Creativity and Innovative Methodologies in Language Teaching and Learning
The concept of university language centres has changed in recent decades. Initially conceived as laboratories for practical and autonomous language-learning, they are now considered as places with more specific and complex functions in language teaching and learning. University language centres now constitute networks for exchanging knowledge and know-how in order to respond to ever-changing, multilingual and multicultural contexts. At the same time, the availability and acquisition of new technologies is contributing to the creation of new tools for the provision of appropriate services and training. This collection covers a wide range of topics related to the activities, experiences and ap...
Innovation in Methodology and Practice in Language Learning
This volume is composed of 24 papers originally presented as talks at the VIII National Conference of the Italian Association of University Language Centres (Associazione Italiana dei Centri Linguistici Universitari: AICLU), held at the University of Foggia, Italy, between 30 May and 1st June 2013. The contributions fall into five sections: 1) keynote addresses from plenary speakers; 2) innovative challenges for language centres; 3) new developments in teaching language for specific purposes; 4) proposals and case studies in Content and Language Integrated Learning; and 5) the use of new technologies in language learning. 18 papers are in English, four in Italian, one in French and one in Ge...
Anaphora Resolution and Text Retrieval
This book covers anaphora resolution for the English language from a linguistic and computational point of view. First, a definition of anaphors that applies to linguistics as well as information technology is given. On this foundation, all types of anaphors and their characteristics for English are outlined. To examine how frequent each type of anaphor is, a corpus of different hypertexts has been established and analysed with regard to anaphors. The most frequent type are non-finite clause anaphors - a type which has never been investigated so far. Therefore, the potential of non-finite clause anaphors are further explored with respect to anaphora resolution. After presenting the fundamentals of computational anaphora resolution and its application in text retrieval, rules for resolving non-finite clause anaphors are established. Therefore, this book shows that a truly interdisciplinary approach can achieve results which would not have been possible otherwise. Open Access: In July 2019, this volume was retroactively turned into an Open Access publication thanks to the support of the Fachinformationsdienst Linguistik. https://www.linguistik.de/
Using Corpora to Learn about Language and Discourse
Considerable progress has been made in the use of corpora for research purposes to describe language in use, and more recently, through a CADS (corpus assisted discourse studies) approach, to identify the discourse features of specific text genres. While the potential benefits of working with corpora in the classroom have been recognised, there has been a lag in the promulgation of guidelines for carrying out meaningful corpus work with language learners and teachers in mind. The papers in this volume aim to make a contribution toward filling that gap by providing an in-depth account of innovative corpus work, most of which has actually been carried out with real learners in the classroom. A...
Language, Lineage and Location in the Works of Osbern Bokenham
This is the first book-length study to consider the works of Osbern Bokenham in the light of the discovery of his long-lost magnum opus, the so-called Abbotsford Legenda Aurea, in 2004. Bokenham is an author who, throughout his oeuvre, never tires of stressing his own marginality, historically (as the belated, inferior son of greater poets) and geographically (as an Englishman writing in the vernacular). Notwithstanding this, he negotiates with the very spatial and temporal perspectives which would seem to isolate him in such a way as to lay claim to an authentic and broad-reaching auctoritas for his own poetic voice. Throughout his oeuvre, Bokenham counters the patriarchal hegemonies of lit...
Formulierungsmuster in deutscher und italienischer Fachkommunikation
Kommunikative Handlungen basieren in weiten Teilen auf Musterwissen über Textgestaltung und Formulierungskonventionen. Dies betrifft die Kommunikation in fachlichen Domänen in besonderer Weise. Bei der Beobachtung, Analyse und Deutung rekurrenter Elemente in Texten zeichnen sich jedoch auch Divergenzen ab, wie dieses Musterwissen einzelsprachlich umgesetzt wird. Dies wirft die Frage nach dem systematischen Nachweis solcher Schwerpunktsetzungen auf. Dieser Band stellt Ergebnisse aus Forschungsprojekten vor, die in Zusammenarbeit der Universitäten Bergamo - Florenz - Modena (PRIN-Projekt 2005) sowie der Freien Universität Bozen mit der Europäischen Akademie Bozen durchgeführt wurden. Geg...
Quanto più la relazione è bella: Saggi di storia della lingua italiana 1999-2014
La presente raccolta di saggi, tutti in varia misura già editi nella sostanza (ma comunque non in questa veste), presenta quindici anni di fedeltà alla storia della lingua italiana, traguardata principalmente dalle sue estremità: il Duecento fiorentino e l’italiano contemporaneo.
