Book Synopsis New Trends and Methodologies in Applied English Language Research by : Carlos Prado-Alonso
Download or read book New Trends and Methodologies in Applied English Language Research written by Carlos Prado-Alonso and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been shortlisted for an ESSE book award 2012 in English Language and Linguistics, Junior Scholars. This volume approaches the analysis of variation in English from diachronic, diatopic, and contrastive/comparative perspectives. The individual case studies, all closely interrelated, are organized into three parts or sections. Part I (Diachronic Studies) applies a variationist methodology to the analysis of developments in the use of the courtesy marker please, adverbs in -ly, the s- genitive and a number of phrasal combinations with the verb get. It also examines Early Modern English regional dialect vocabulary. Part II (Diatopic Studies) is concerned with the analysis of several morphological and phonological features in different varieties of English, namely Standard English, Modern Scottish English, Galwegian English, and Black South-African English. Part III (Contrastive Studies) contains four chapters dealing with the contrastive analysis of a number of morphosyntactic features, such as the use of modifiers of adjectives by advanced learners of English, the acquisition and use of aspect by advanced EFL learners with different mother-tongue backgrounds, a comparison of the tempo-aspectual categories of English and Italian, and some of the problems encountered by researchers when compiling and analysing learner corpora of spoken language.

Book Synopsis Readings in English Phonetics and Phonology by : María Inmaculada Arboleda-Guirao
Download or read book Readings in English Phonetics and Phonology written by María Inmaculada Arboleda-Guirao and published by Universitat de València. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The teaching of the phonetics and the phonology of British English to undergraduate students is often based on a bare, uncritical presentation of facts as they are usually portrayed in classic publications such as Gimson-Cruttenden, Collins & Mees, Roach, Car, etc. While they present a welcome canonical view of language, there is a danger that students will end up holding a quasi-dogmatic opinion of the phonology of English, with little awareness of other views and approaches. In an attempt to overcome this limitation, the contributors to this volume have tried to combine theory and praxis in tackling different aspects of the phonology of English. The result is this book of readings which will hopefully provide students with reliable and up-to-date information on key issues both at segmental and supra-segmental level.
Book Synopsis Recent Advances in Corpus Linguistics by : Lieven Vandelanotte
Download or read book Recent Advances in Corpus Linguistics written by Lieven Vandelanotte and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a selection of studies presented at the 33rd International Conference of the International Computer Archive of Modern and Medieval English (ICAME), hosted by the University of Leuven (30 May - 3 June 2012). The strictly refereed and extensively revised contributions collected here represent recent advances in corpus linguistics, both in the development of specialist corpora and in ways of exploiting them for specific purposes. The first part focuses on “Corpus development and corpus interrogation” and features papers on the compilation of new, highly specialized corpora which aim to fill gaps in historical databases, and on new ways of extracting relevant patterns automatically from computerized datasets. The second part, devoted to “Specialist corpora”, presents detailed descriptive studies on grammatical patterns in World Englishes, on neology, and – using a contrastive approach – on prepositions and cohesive conjunctions. The third and final part on “Second language acquisition” groups together studies situated at the intersection of corpus linguistics and educational linguistics and dealing with markers of relevance and lesser relevance in lectures, deceptive cognates, the automatic annotation of native and non-native uses of demonstrative this and that, and measuring learners’ progress in speech and in writing. Each contribution in its own way reports on novel ways of getting mileage out of specialist corpora, and collectively the contributions attest to the rude health of computerized corpus linguistic studies.
Book Synopsis Suffixal Rivalry in Adjective Formation by : Zeki Hamawand
Download or read book Suffixal Rivalry in Adjective Formation written by Zeki Hamawand and published by Equinox. This book was released on 2007 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suffixal Rivalry in Adjective Formation deals with adjective formation in English, concentrating mainly on adjective pairs that share single roots but end in different suffixes. Theoretically, the book adopts Cognitive Semantics and attempts to substantiate three of its tenets. In view of the category tenet, the book considers adjectival suffixes polysemous in character, comprising multiple senses which gather around typical examples. By virtue of the domain tenet, the book regards the adjectival suffixes distinctive in use, partaking in similar sets but differing in minute details. In light of the construal tenet, the book rates the adjective pairs distinguishable in meaning, differing in the alternate ways the speaker describes their common roots. Empirically, the book adopts Corpus Linguistics. Making use of its effective techniques, this book identifies the discriminating collocates associated with the members of adjective pairs, helping to confirm the subtle differences in meaning between them.
Book Synopsis Principles of English Stress by : Luigi Burzio
Download or read book Principles of English Stress written by Luigi Burzio and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994-12 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luigi Burzio's Principles of English Stress challenges many of the assumptions that have underpinned the generative description of English stress and more generally 'standard' metrical theory. Central to Burzio's analysis is a novel typology of metrical constituents that includes ternary feet and excludes monosyllabic feet. The analysis is essentially nonderivational in character: principles of well-formedness check for the presence of stress and weight in the output. The principles themselves are organized into a hierarchy consisting of a hardcore-controlling foot form that in cases of conflict may override principles of metrical consistency and alignment of edges. The interplay among these competing principles accounts for the cyclic effects of the standard theory. A special role is accorded phonetically null syllables that analyse hidden metrical structure to preserve a simple foot inventory and sharply curtail the standard theory's extrametricality.
Download or read book Word-Formation written by Peter O. Müller and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook comprises an in-depth presentation of the state of the art in word-formation. The five volumes contain 207 articles written by leading international scholars. The XVI chapters of the handbook provide the reader, in both general articles and individual studies, with a wide variety of perspectives: word-formation as a linguistic discipline (history of science, theoretical concepts), units and processes in word-formation, rules and restrictions, semantics and pragmatics, foreign word-formation, language planning and purism, historical word-formation, word-formation in language acquisition and aphasia, word-formation and language use, tools in word-formation research. The final chapter comprises 74 portraits of word-formation in the individual languages of Europe and offers an innovative perspective. These portraits afford the first overview of this kind and will prove useful for future typological research. This handbook will provide an essential reference for both advanced students and researchers in word-formation and related fields within linguistics.

Book Synopsis Computational Approaches to Morphology and Syntax by : Brian Roark
Download or read book Computational Approaches to Morphology and Syntax written by Brian Roark and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-08-09 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book will appeal to scholars and advanced students of morphology, syntax, computational linguistics and natural language processing (NLP). It provides a critical and practical guide to computational techniques for handling morphological and syntactic phenomena, showing how these techniques have been used and modified in practice. The authors discuss the nature and uses of syntactic parsers and examine the problems and opportunities of parsing algorithms for finite-state, context-free and various context-sensitive grammars. They relate approaches for describing syntax and morphology to formal mechanisms and algorithms, and present well-motivated approaches for augmenting grammars with weights or probabilities.
Book Synopsis The Development of the Epyllion Genre Through the Hellenistic and Roman Periods by : Carol U. Merriam
Download or read book The Development of the Epyllion Genre Through the Hellenistic and Roman Periods written by Carol U. Merriam and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The epyllion as a genre was developed in the Hellenistic period (and continued into Roman times) in order to show what else was happening while traditional heroic stories, always narrated in epics with particular conventions, were happening. The epyllion challenges these conventions in ways that make it a genre in its own right. This study examines its development through the Hellenistic and Roman periods, focusing on unheroic and female characters.
