Metaphor and Corpus Linguistics Building and Investigating an English as a Medium of Instruction Corpus

Metaphor and Corpus Linguistics Building and Investigating an English as a Medium of Instruction Corpus

Metaphor and Corpus Linguistics: Building and Investigating an English as a Medium of Instruction Corpus offers a model for building a corpus of oral EMI seminars. It demonstrates how incorporating metaphor to the process of corpus building affords a more comprehensive description of the role of metaphor in discourse. EMI is the specific context outlined in this volume and as such it will be of particular interest to researchers in this area though the design and model can be easily generalised and applied to other corpora focusing on metaphor. Alejo-González argues for the need to build such a corpus given the scarcity of corpora being tagged for metaphor as well as the shortage of those dealing with the EMI phenomenon. This book will be of practical use and interest to those researchers of corpus linguistics or related areas looking to explore metaphor through their corpus studies. | Metaphor and Corpus Linguistics Building and Investigating an English as a Medium of Instruction Corpus

Representing Schizophrenia in the Media A Corpus-Based Approach to UK Press Coverage

Representing Schizophrenia in the Media A Corpus-Based Approach to UK Press Coverage

This book presents a critical analysis of ways in which schizophrenia and people with schizophrenia are represented in the press. Interrogating a 15-million-word corpus of news articles published by nine UK national newspapers over a 15-year period the author draws on techniques from corpus linguistics and critical discourse analysis to identify the most frequent and salient linguistic features used by journalists to influence and reflect broader public attitudes towards people with schizophrenia. In doing so this book: Evaluates the extent to which media representations are accurate and the extent to which they are potentially helpful or harmful towards people living with schizophrenia; Employs a bottom-up approach guided by linguistic patterns such as collocates and keywords identified by corpus software; Contributes to the de-stigmatisation of schizophrenic disorder by unveiling some of the widespread misconceptions surrounding it; Applies a mixed-methods approach in order to expose attitudes and beliefs found ‘between the lines’ – values and assumptions which are often implicit in the way language is used and therefore not visible to the naked eye. The findings of this monograph will be relevant to advanced students and researchers of health communication corpus linguistics and applied linguistics and will also carry importance for journalists and mental health practitioners. | Representing Schizophrenia in the Media A Corpus-Based Approach to UK Press Coverage

Linguistic Dimensions of Sexual Normativity Corpus-Based Evidence

Linguistic Dimensions of Sexual Normativity Corpus-Based Evidence

This book advances the theorization of normativity as a key concept in language and sexuality studies bringing together some of the author’s previous work with new material for a comprehensive exploration of the influence of normativity on the relationship between language and sexuality. The first section of the book outlines fundamental areas of inquiry in language and sexuality studies today with a focus on queer linguistic inquiry and elucidates the book’s theoretical frameworks around normativity. Chapters in the section reflect on the ways in which normativity shapes sexuality-related language how language is employed to convey sexual normativities and queer linguistic challenges for the use of research methods in the discipline through a discussion of their implementation in corpus linguistics. The second part of the book builds on these theoretical foundations by featuring seven case studies that illustrate a diverse range of methods and language data with a concluding chapter considering the implications of their findings for furthering theoretical debates and future research on normativity in language and sexuality studies. This volume will be of interest to scholars in language and sexuality language and gender sociolinguistics discourse analysis applied linguistics and corpus linguistics. | Linguistic Dimensions of Sexual Normativity Corpus-Based Evidence

Corpora in Interpreting Studies East Asian Perspectives

Corpora in Interpreting Studies East Asian Perspectives

Cheung Liu Moratto and their contributors examine how corpora can be effectively harnessed to benefit interpreting practice and research in East Asian settings. In comparison to the achievements made in the field of corpus- based translation studies the use of corpora in interpreting is not comparable in terms of scope methods and agenda. One of the predicaments that hampers this line of inquiry is the lack of systematic corpora to document spoken language. This issue is even more pronounced when dealing with East Asian languages such as Chinese Japanese and Korean which are typologically different from European languages. As language plays a pivotal role in interpreting research the use of corpora in interpreting within East Asian contexts has its own distinct characteristics as well as methodological constraints and concerns. However it also generates new insights and findings that can significantly advance this research field. A valuable resource for scholars of scholars focusing on corpus interpreting particularly those dealing with East Asian languages. | Corpora in Interpreting Studies East Asian Perspectives

Anselm of Canterbury The Beauty of Theology

Anselm of Canterbury The Beauty of Theology

Anselm is a major figure in theological philosophical and historical studies. This book provides a fresh approach to the study of this great figure; one which provides critical interaction with current critical thinking whilst arguing in favour of the idea of theological unity in Anselm's corpus. Exploring the Proslogion but also more 'minor' works David Hogg interacts with the theological content of Anselm's writings: showing how Anselm's ontological argument fits into the wider context of his theology; comparing the holistic approach of Anselm's thought with that of other medieval personages and fitting him into the wider medieval context; and revealing how Anselm's theology integrates the atonement and questions of predestination the fall of the Devil and free will and other issues. The book concludes with an assessment of the impact of Anselm's theology during his own time and the continuing effect his thinking has had on succeeding centuries of theological development. | Anselm of Canterbury The Beauty of Theology

Liberty and the News

Liberty and the News

This little gem of a book which first appeared in 1920 was written in Walter Lippmann's thirtieth year. He was still full of the passionate faith in democracy that was evident in his writings before the First World War. From today's point of view Lippmann's argument seems unusually prescient. He was troubled by distortions in newspaper journalism but was also deeply aware of the need to protect a free press. Lippmann believed that toleration of alternative beliefs was essential to maintaining the vitality of democracy. Liberty and the News is a key transitional work in the corpus of Lippmann's writings. For it is here that he proposes that public opinion is largely a response not to truths but rather to a pseudo-environment which exists between people and the external world. Lippmann was worried that if the beliefs that get exchanged between people are hollow and bear only a purely accidental relationship to the world as it truly is then the entire case for democracy is in danger of having been built on sand. His concerns remain very much alive and important.

People Citizen and User Shifting Articulations of Audience in Chinese Communication Research (1978 – 2021)

People Citizen and User Shifting Articulations of Audience in Chinese Communication Research (1978 – 2021)

The book examines the changing discourses of Chinese audience research in the past four decades aiming to shed light on the complicated relationships among China’s media audiences and society. With the new sociology of knowledge it adopts Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory as a meta-theoretical framework and interprets the concept of audience as a floating signifier. Based on the corpus of Chinese academic journal papers the author divides the scope of analysis into four phases. In each period Chinese audience research was related closely to the changing societal and academic contexts and hegemonic struggle as a whole. In addition it discusses the relation between ‘western’ audience theories and Chinese audience research as well as the contingency and rigidity of discourses in Chinese audience research. The book contributes to the understanding of Chinese communication research in the changing societal context and will be valuable for scholars of media and communication studies or China studies. | People Citizen and User Shifting Articulations of Audience in Chinese Communication Research (1978 – 2021)

Bildungsroman and the Arab Novel Egyptian Intersections

Bildungsroman and the Arab Novel Egyptian Intersections

Through a close-reading of a corpus of novels featuring young protagonists in their path toward adulthood the book shows how Bildungsroman impacted the formation of the Egyptian narrative. On a larger scale the book helps the reader to understand the key role played by the coming of age novel in the definition and perception of modern Arab subjectivity. Exploring the role of Bildungsroman in shaping the canonical Egyptian novel the book discusses the case of Zaynab by Muhammad Husayn Haykal (1913) as an example of early Arab Bildungsnarrative. It focuses on Latifa Zayyat’s masterpiece The Open Door and the novels of the 90es Generation offering a gender-based analysis of the Egyptian Bildungsroman. It provides insightful readings about the function of the novel in women’s re-negotiation of social boundaries.

Ethos Logos and Perspective Studies in Late Byzantine Rhetoric

Ethos Logos and Perspective Studies in Late Byzantine Rhetoric

Ethos Logos and Perspective represents the first comprehensive study of late Byzantine court rhetorical praise as a general phenomenon surfacing in many types of rhetorical epideictic compositions dating from the fourteenth and the fifteenth centuries: panegyrics encomia city descriptions encomiastic verses or letters. The aim of this book is to reconstruct the two perspectives idealism and pragmatism that shaped authorial choices in matters of rhetorical style and composition. This study uncovers a little-known period in the history of Byzantine rhetoric. Proceeding from a nuanced understanding of the ancient concepts of ethos and logos it analyzes the rhetoric of Byzantine praise in a modern theoretical framework. Unlike other previous studies of Byzantine rhetoric the present research traces the structures and meanings that ultimately influenced the political attitudes and values circulating in the last century of Byzantine history. Another feature of this book is that it offers translations and discussions of important passages from the late Byzantine rhetoric a corpus of texts that only recently has started to receive attention. This book will appeal to scholars students and all those interested in Byzantine literary culture (particularly in reference to moral and spiritual advice) and the techniques of Byzantine rhetoric. In addition readers will also find informative approaches on the main authors and genres of late Byzantine rhetoric. | Ethos Logos and Perspective Studies in Late Byzantine Rhetoric
