New Insights into Gendered Discursive Practices
Con un discurso y un enfoque feminista orientado hacia las culturas mediáticas post-feministas, este volumen proporciona un conocimiento vanguardista de los métodos de análisis del discurso y cómo se aplican en el estudio del lenguaje y del género en distintos contextos. Las editoras del volumen, Antonia Sánchez Macarro y Ana Belén Cabrejas Peñuelas, reúnen a destacados analistas del discurso que hablan sobre temas como la construcción de las identidades de género en los (nuevos) medios de comunicación; las auto-representaciones de género y sexo de las jóvenes tanto en Internet como fuera de la red; y el análisis de las prácticas discursivas en el contexto de la educación superior. Este volumen servirá como inestimable herramienta para los investigadores y los estudiantes interesados en el lenguaje, el género y el análisis del discurso.
Essays in Honor of Enrique García Díez
All great novels are critical novels (that is to say, experimental novels) wich, under the pretense of telling a story, of bringing characters to life, of interpreting situations, slide under our eyes the mirage of a tangible form.
Windows on the World: Media Discourse in English
Una contribució elaborada des d’observatoris diferents sobre la significació i el paper dels discursos mediàtics difosos en anglès mitjançant els missatges públics. Els autors incideixen sobre les innombrables varietats del llenguatge d’acord amb els mitjans utilitzats per expandir-los –dels més tradicionals als més innovadors– i amb els receptors als quals van destinats.
Linguistic Choice Across Genres
This book, based on revised papers originally delivered at the VII International Systemic Functional Workshop in Valencia in 1995, explores some of the choices open to speakers and writers for the expression of meaning in different socio-cultural contexts. Many of the papers draw their inspiration from models of language developed by Michael Halliday and in particular recent theories of variation in relation to texts and genres explored by Halliday and his followers. There is an emphasis on the interdependence and interaction of linguistic choices across sentence boundaries and speaking turns, and also a consistent focus across many papers on the importance of lexicogrammar in the constructi...
The Pragmatics of Catalan
This book aims to disseminate at an international level a set of innovative studies whose descriptive and applied point of reference is the Catalan language. The volume constitutes a significant contribution to the field of intercultural pragmatics and also to a broad range of grammatical and cognitive issues which have been approached from the pragmatic perspective.
Language and Mediated Masculinities
From television shows to the manosphere, and from alt-right communities to fatherhood forums, debates about masculinity have come to dominate the media landscape. What does it mean to be a man in contemporary society? How is masculinity constituted in different media spaces? This growing cultural tension around masculinities has been discussed and analyzed both for general audiences and in burgeoning academic scholarship. What has been typically overlooked, however, is the role that language plays in these mediated performances of masculinity. In Language and Mediated Masculinities, Robert Lawson draws on data from newspapers, social media sites, television programs, and online forums to exp...
Speaking in Tongues: Language Across Contexts and Users
Speaking in Tongues, the second volume of the English in the World series, places the reader at the heart of investigations into the nature and process of translation in an internationalized scenario where: the consolidation of multilateral institutions and multinational corporations struggle between globalization and localization; the information and communication technologies are both the means to enhance translation productivity and the main source of jobs for professional translators; the new media and communication technologies provide a whole range of ways to interact with other, both in leisure and academic settings. The scope of the book ranges from Systemic Functional Linguistics to Discourse Analysis, from Intercultural Rhetoric to Poststructuralism. The collection of articles has been edited to recognise the range of perspectives looking to this field and is of direct interest both to any linguist, translator or other social scientist working in the study of interlingual communication and to those designing and buying translation techologies for porfessional purposes.
Early Modern Northern English Lexis
The 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 revision 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.
