Postmodifying Attributive Adjectives in English: An Integrated Corpus-Based Approach
ISBN: 9783631583876 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 201 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This study investigates three different postmodifying adjective constructions in the English language. While English adjectives generally precede the entities they modify, they may also occur in postmodifying position. This study assumes that the different postmodifying constructions are a positional variation of attributive premodification. The support for this claim is derived from a detailed analysis of the general syntax and semantics of adjectives as well as a cross-check of previous theories with a wide range of actual language examples taken from computerized corpora. An approach from...

Conversational Writing: A Multidimensional Study of Synchronous and Supersynchronous Computer-Mediated Communication
ISBN: 9783631671535 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 353 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The author analyses computer chat as a form of communication. While some forms of computer-mediated communication (CMC) deviate only marginally from traditional writing, computer chat is popularly considered to be written conversation and the most -oral- form of written CMC. This book systematically explores the varying degrees of conversationality (-orality-) in CMC, focusing in particular on a corpus of computer chat (synchronous and supersynchronous CMC) compiled by the author. The author employs Douglas Biber s multidimensional methodology and situates the chats relative to a range of...

Nominal Versus Clausal Complexity in Spoken and Written English: Theory and Description
ISBN: 9783631585689 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 169 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Halliday has claimed that neither spoken nor written language is more complex than the other per se, but that the two mediums show different degrees of complexity on different levels. He argues that written language uses more lexical items within the clause whereas spoken language uses more clauses within the clause complex. Thus, written language should use more complex noun phrases and spoken language should use more complex clause complexes. The aim of the study was to conduct a corpus-based study to analyse spoken and written language samples with regard to differences in complexity on...

A Corpus-Based Study of Proper Names in Present-Day English: Aspects of Gradience and Article Usage

Based on a large sample of press data extracted from the British National Corpus (BNC), the book undertakes a detailed investigation of present-day English proper names, an important but under-researched area in English linguistics. Employing the statistical technique of binary logistic regression, this book presents a new method of analysing non-discrete categories in linguistics with reference to the grammatical notion of gradience and the principle of parsimony. The focus is particularly on the grammatical factors influencing the choice between use and non-use of the definite article a...
