Cognitive Linguistics in Critical Discourse Analysis
In contemporary linguistics, both cognitive and critical approaches to language have been elaborated in some detail. Unfortunately, the two perspectives have seldom converged, despite the potential theoretical advances such collaboration offers. The contributions to this volume explore the convergence of cognitive and critical trends in the guise of cognitive linguistics and critical discourse analysis. The volume addresses a range of socio-political discourses in various international contexts, including discourses on nation, education, immigration, and war. One single integrated model is not presented, but rather, a number of methodologies are developed and assessed across the chapters. The application of established cognitive linguistic theories, including conceptual metaphor theory, conceptual blending theory and frame semantics, are discussed, as well as developing theories, such as metaphor power theory and discourse space theory. The book is of value to anyone interested in the interaction between language, mind, and society, including both students and scholars of cognitive linguistics and critical discourse analysis.
Organizational Transformation Drivers of Change
To survive in today's rapidly changing business environment, organizations of all types must carry out regular transformations. Evolving markets, new business models, fierce competition and tight budgets are just a few of the many factors influencing the need for major change initiatives. In this context, several key activities are emerging as important strategic functions that are driving successful transformation: collaboration, social media, operational efficiency, outsourcing, risk management, and project management. This book explores the latest developments in these five areas, and sets out best practice guidance on how to achieve the greatest benefits from their use while avoiding the most common pitfalls, based on a proven Art and Science of Transformation(R) model. Illustrated with facts, figures and real case studies throughout, and full of practical tips that are relevant to all sectors, the book is essential reading for organizational leaders, managers, and specialists involved in transforming each of these activities to achieve high levels of business performance.
