GECCo - German-English Contrasts in Cohesion
In contrastive linguistics of English and German, there is a tradition of accounting for contrasts with respect to grammar and, to a lesser extent, for lexis and phonetics. Moving on to discourse and text, there is a sizeable body of literature on cohesive patterns in English and German respectively - but very little in terms of a comparison. The latter, though, is of particular interest for language learners, translators and, of course, linguists and researchers in language technology. This book attempts to close this gap, based on a number of years of corpus-based study into variation and cohesion in the two languages. While there is an overall focus on language contrasts, it also investig...

Particle Placement in English L1 and L2 Academic Writing
This study seeks to contribute to a better understanding of how syntactic variation is affected by probabilistic factors in English as a foreign language (EFL, L2), exemplified by the effect of weight on the syntactic variation with English transitive verb-particle constructions (e.g. look up, sort out) and transitive verb-prepositional phrase (PP) constructions (e.g. take into account, bear in mind). With these constructions, the particle/PP may occur either adjacent to the verb or separated from the verb by a direct object noun phrase (DO NP). Being highly influenced by the weight of the DO NP in native (L1) English, little is known about the factors, including syntactic weight, that gover...
Systemic Functional Linguistics
This user-friendly student guide is the essential resource for all those engaged in studying systemic functional linguistics (SFL). Assuming no prior knowledge, this guide is divided into nine chapters which can be read independently of one another and used for purposes of reference. The reading section maps out and mediates the key SFL literature. The application guides show how SFL has been and can be applied to various domains, from translation to healthcare communication. The term guides demystify the core terminology and the vocabulary guides aid readers in dealing with the most commonly used terms in text analysis. Systemic Functional Linguistics is an invaluable guidebook for all those studying functional grammar and SFL within linguistics, applied linguistics and related courses.
Strategies and Analyses of Language and Communication in Multilingual and International Contexts
Covering a variety of themes and subject areas related to language and communication in international and multilinguistic contexts, this book offers an insight into the latest research in applied linguistics and language acquisition. Aimed at both scholars and language practitioners, it presents empirical findings from researchers from more than 10 countries. Rather than limiting its focus to one language and context as a source of research, the collection reports and applies findings from various languages and communities.
Using English as a Lingua Franca in Education in Europe
This volume examines the role of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) in education in Europe. Following the implementation of the Bologna process, English has assumed a central role in European education offering institutions the opportunity to cater to the needs of an internationalized student body and increase their competitiveness. On the other hand, the increased use of ELF has become an issue of concern, often perceived as a threat to other languages, tilting the scale towards linguistic inequality and stressing the urgent need for the development of new language policies. Both aspects of ELF are at the center of discussion in the proposed volume, which consists of a variety of papers examining ELF in different parts of Europe (Eastern, Central and Western) and different levels of education. The volume makes a substantial contribution to the lively and controversial debate about what is recognized as a central topical concern of language education policy in Europe and beyond.
Proceedings of the VIIth GSCP International Conference. Speech and Corpora
The 7th International Conference of the Gruppo di Studi sulla Comunicazione Parlata, dedicated to the memory of Claire Blanche-Benveniste, chose as its main theme Speech and Corpora. The wide international origin of the 235 authors from 21 countries and 95 institutions led to papers on many different languages. The 89 papers of this volume reflect the themes of the conference: spoken corpora compilation and annotation, with the technological connected fields; the relation between prosody and pragmatics; speech pathologies; and different papers on phonetics, speech and linguistic analysis, pragmatics and sociolinguistics. Many papers are also dedicated to speech and second language studies. The online publication with FUP allows direct access to sound and video linked to papers (when downloaded).
Fremdsprachenvermittlung zwischen Anspruch und Wirklichkeit
In dem vorliegenden Band wird die Fremdsprachenvermittlung mit Blick auf deren Anspruch und deren Ziele thematisiert. Damit wird eine Diskrepanz in den Blick genommen, die den Fremdsprachenunterricht seit jeher charakterisiert hat und die sein vielleicht bedeutsamstes Dilemma darstellt. Die hier publizierten Beiträge werden dabei in drei Kategorien präsentiert - hinsichtlich relevanter Ansätze, Methoden und Ziele. Dabei wird - in internationaler Perspektive - nicht nur der Fremdsprachenunterricht selbst in den Fokus gerückt, sondern auch die fremdsprachendidaktische Forschung. Die gewählten Sichtweisen werden ebenso im Sinne von Übersichtsartikeln präsentiert wie mit Bezug auf ganz konkrete Forschungsprojekte und die unterrichtliche Aktionsforschung. Unabhängig von dem jeweils gewählten Schwerpunkt sind die Beiträge für Fremdsprachendidaktiker, Fremdsprachenlehrer und Studierende gleichermaßen von Interesse. Die untersuchten Sprachen decken das Englische, das Französische, das Russische und das Deutsche als Fremdsprache ab - und dies in allgemeinsprachlicher wie auch in fachsprachlicher Perspektive.
