Teaching and Learning (Im)Politeness
This collection combines research from the field of (im)politeness studies with research on language pedagogy and language learning. It aims to engender a useful dialogue between (im)politeness theorists, language teachers, and SLA researchers, and also to broaden the enquiry to naturalistic contexts other than L2 acquisition classrooms, by formulating 'teaching' and 'learning' as processes of socialization, cultural transmission, and adaptation.
Technology Implementation in Second Language Teaching and Translation Studies
This monograph mainly focuses on the idea that language teaching in higher education involves making use of new approaches and technology. It identifies the key determinants of the materials needed to improve language teaching on the basis of the actual experimental research included in the respective contributions. Thanks to its unique perspective, the book offers a distinctive approach to addressing empirical research on second language teaching, translator training and technology. As universities are some of the best arenas for analyzing teaching techniques for various subjects, higher education teachers can use this book to thoroughly prepare for the application of pilot studies and lear...
Multiple Voices in Academic and Professional Discourse
The demands of today’s society for greater specialization have brought about a profound transformation in the humanities, which are not immune to the competitive pressure to meet new challenges that are present in other sectors. Thus, lecturers and researchers in modern languages and applied linguistics departments have made great efforts to design syllabi and materials more attuned to the competences and requirements of potential working environments. At the same time, linguists have attempted to apply their expertise in wider areas, creating research institutes that focus on applying language and linguistics in different contexts and offering linguistic services to society as a whole.

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.
Discourse Markers and Modal Particles
Discourse markers and modal particles are fuzzy linguistic categories that are difficult to describe. The contributions in this volume go beyond this statement. They discuss the intersection between modal particles and discourse markers and examine whether or not it is possible to draw a line between these two types of linguistic expressions. On the basis of new synchronic and diachronic data, from speech and writing, from European and Asian languages or cross-linguistically, the authors answer the question whether discourse markers and modal particles are distinct categories, whether they form a cline, or whether modal particles are a subcategory of discourse markers. This common question shows up throughout all chapters, which makes the book to a coherent whole. By disentangling the complexity of categorizing multifunctional expressions, this book also sheds new light on the processes of meaning extension. The traditional discourse and modal functions are complemented by interactional and textual ones. A must read for functional linguists.
Viajes y viajeros, entre ficción y realidad
El viatge és un espai emblemàtic de trobada, diàleg i obertura d'horitzons. Els viatgers de parla alemanya a Espanya (i, en menor mesura, de parla espanyola a Alemanya) van contribuir a un procés gradual de coneixement i d'acostament de dues cultures. Es tracta de la trobada entre el nord i el sud, un sud que no és el sòl clàssic que va entusiasmar Goethe, sinó un espai encara per descobrir que es va anar revelant a poc a poc, des de l'edat mitjana tardana fins al segle XX. El volum ens embarca en un viatge literari, híbrid entre ficció i realitat, un recorregut amb variades i interessants parades que evoquen mentalitats, llocs, mirades, percepcions, en definitiva, a través dels textos preparats per un nodrit grup d'investigadors del Grup Oswald (Departament de Filologia Anglesa i Alemanya de la Universitat de València).
