Discourse analysis / Gillian Brown

Public ISBD Titre : Discourse analysis Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gillian Brown, Auteur ; George Yule, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge [United Kingdom] : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 1983 Collection : Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics Importance : XII-288 p. Format : 23 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-28475-2 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:428 phonetique et linguistique Mots-clés : Discourse analysis-English(language) Résumé : Discourse analysis is a term that has come to have different interpretations for scholars working in different disciplines. For a sociolinguist, it is concerned mainly with the structure of social interaction manifested in conversation; for a psycholinguist, it is primarily concerned with the nature of comprehension of short written texts; for the computational linguist, it is concerned with producing operational models of text-understanding within highly limited contexts. In this textbook, first published in 1983, the authors provide an extensive overview of the many and diverse approaches to the study of discourse, but base their own approach centrally on the discipline which, to varying degrees, is common to them all - linguistics. Using a methodology which has much in common with descriptive linguistics, they offer a lucid and wide-ranging account of how forms of language are used in communication. Their principal concern is to examine how any language produced by man, whether spoken or written, is used to communicate for a purpose in a context.

Evolutionary Linguistics / April McMahon

Public ISBD Titre : Evolutionary Linguistics : Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : April McMahon, Auteur ; Robert McMahon, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge [United Kingdom] : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2013 Collection : Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics Importance : 309 p. Format : 24.7 x 17.4 x 1.4 centimetres (0.66 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-89139-4 Note générale : How did the biological, brain and behavioural structures underlying human language evolve? When, why and where did our ancestors become linguistic animals, and what has happened since? This book provides a clear, comprehensive but lively introduction to these interdisciplinary debates. Written in an approachable style, it cuts through the complex, sometimes contradictory and often obscure technical languages used in the different scientific disciplines involved in the study of linguistic evolution. Assuming no background knowledge in these disciplines, the book outlines the physical and neurological structures underlying language systems, and the limits of our knowledge concerning their evolution. Discussion questions and further reading lists encourage students to explore the primary literature further, and the final chapter demonstrates that while many questions still remain unanswered, there is a growing consensus as to how modern human languages have arisen as systems by the interplay of evolved structures and cultural transmission. Langues : Anglais Note de contenu : Table of Contents: Part I: Poetry in the curriculum 1. The development of the curriculum 2. Theoretical and pedagogical perspectives Part II: Approaches to poetry in the classroom 3. Form 4. Words and Imagery 5. Voice 6. Setting 7. Character 8. Narrative 9. Conflict 10.Ways forward - multi-modality and the future of English.

Figurative Language / Barbara Dancygier

Public ISBD Titre : Figurative Language Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Barbara Dancygier, Auteur ; Eve Sweetser, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge [United Kingdom] : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2014 Collection : Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics Importance : 256 p. Format : 22.8 x 15.2 x 1.5 centimetres (0.47 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-18473-1 Note générale : This lively introduction to figurative language explains a broad range of concepts, including metaphor, metonymy, simile, and blending, and develops new tools for analyzing them. It coherently grounds the linguistic understanding of these concepts in basic cognitive mechanisms such as categorization, frames, mental spaces, and viewpoint; and it fits them into a consistent framework which is applied to cross-linguistic data and also to figurative structures in gesture and the visual arts. Comprehensive and practical, the book includes analyses of figurative uses of both word meanings and linguistic constructions. * Provides definitions of major concepts * Offers in-depth analyses of examples, exploring multiple levels of complexity * Surveys figurative structures in different discourse genres * Helps students to connect figurative usage with the conceptual underpinnings of language * Goes beyond English to explore cross-linguistic and cross-modal data. Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Figurative  Language. Note de contenu : Table of Contents: 1. Introduction; 2. The basics of metaphor; 3. Metaphoric structure: levels and relations; 4. Mental spaces and blending; 5. Metonymy; 6. Grammatical constructions and figurative meaning; 7. The cross-linguistic study of metaphor; 8. Figurative language in discourse; 9. Concluding remarks.

Pragmatics and grammar / Mira Ariel

Public ISBD Titre : Pragmatics and grammar Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mira Ariel, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge [United Kingdom] : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2008 Collection : Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics Importance : 1 vol. (XVIII-343 p.) Format : 25 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-55018-5 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:425 English grammar Mots-clés : Pragmatique  Grammaire comparée  Grammaire générale  Grammar Résumé : When using language, many aspects of our messages are left implicit in what we say. While grammar is responsible for what we express explicitly, pragmatics explains how we infer additional meanings. The problem is that it is not always a trivial matter to decide which of the meanings conveyed is explicit (grammatical) and which implicit (pragmatic). Pragmatics and Grammar lays out a methodology for students and scholars to distinguish between the two. It explains how and why grammar and pragmatics combine together in natural discourse, and how pragmatic uses become grammatical in time. Note de contenu : Bibliogr. p. 309-336.
