ISBN: 9783034312769 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 249 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This volume investigates the changes undergone by written communication in our globalized world as English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). The latter usually functions as a language for communication purposes, but also becomes a language for identification purposes. The study takes into account different web-genres: from the replication of existing genres in other media to cybergenres, whose key evolutionary force is the progressive exploitation of the new functionalities afforded by the new medium. The variety of the contexts of use has made it possible to consider different ELF-using communities...

The four Cs (Content, Cognition, Communication and...

ISBN: 9783034315166 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. There is hardly any aspect of verbal communication that has not been investigated using the analytical tools developed by corpus linguists. This is especially true in the case of English, which commands a vast international research community, and corpora are becoming increasingly specialised, as they account for areas of language use shaped by specific sociolectal (register, genre, variety) and speaker (gender, profession, status) variables.

English as a Lingua Franca in Cross-Cultural Immigration Domains
ISBN: 9783039116898 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 285 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book explores the cognitive and communicative processes involved in the use of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) within cross-cultural specialized contexts where non-native speakers of English i.e. Western experts and non-Western migrants interact. The book argues that the main communicative difficulties in such contexts are due precisely to the use of ELF, since it develops from the non-native speakers transfer of their native language structures and socio-cultural schemata into the English they speak. Transfer, in fact, allows non-native speakers to appropriate, or...
