Narratives as Muslim Practice in Senegal
ISBN: 9781433119903 / Angielski / Twarda / 209 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sufi oral discourse in Senegal is overwhelmingly dominated by stories about past and current shaykhs. An important corpus of oral narratives about Sufi clerics is not only (re)told by Sufi speakers throughout Senegal but also in the Senegalese diasporas in the Americas, Asia, and Europe. These accounts are interwoven by multiple speakers among followers of Senegalese Sufi brotherhoods and passed down from generation to generation in Senegal and its diasporas. The weaving together and spreading of such texts themselves are part of the Sufi praxis. These oral texts, deeply rooted in their...

Interpersonality in Legal Genres
ISBN: 9783034315241 / Angielski / Miękka / 410 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Few concepts in Discourse Studies are so versatile and intricate and have been so frequently contested as interpersonality. This construct offers ample terrain for new research, since it can be viewed using a range of diverse theoretical frameworks, employing a variety of analytical tools and social perspectives.
Studies on the relationship between writer/reader and speaker/audience in the legal field are still scarce, dispersed, and limited to a narrow range of genres and a restricted notion of interpersonality, since they are most often confined to modality and the Gricean...

Better Presentations: A Guide for Scholars, Researchers, and Wonks
ISBN: 9780231175203 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Whether you are a university professor, researcher at a think tank, graduate student, or analyst at a private firm, chances are that at some point you have presented your work in front of an audience. Most of us approach this task by converting a written document into slides, but the result is often a text-heavy presentation saddled with bullet points, stock images, and graphs too complex for an audience to decipher--much less understand. Presenting is fundamentally different from writing, and with only a little more time, a little more effort, and a little more planning, you can communicate...

Conversational Writing: A Multidimensional Study of Synchronous and Supersynchronous Computer-Mediated Communication
ISBN: 9783631671535 / Angielski / Twarda / 353 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 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...

Grammar of Biblical Hebrew
ISBN: 9781433125287 / Angielski / Twarda / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although Wolfgang Schneider s Grammatik des biblischen Hebraisch: Ein Lehrbuch serves primarily as an introductory textbook to biblical Hebrew, it makes an invaluable contribution to the text-linguistic study of Hebrew Bible. Schneider s understanding of narrative syntax and discourse linguistics continues to influence such grammarians as Niccacci and Talstra, through whom his work is validated. His discussion of clauses and text syntax remains pertinent to Hebrew students and professors alike. With this English translation, Schneider s work may now make a worldwide contribution to...

From Attention to Meaning: Explorations in Semiotics, Linguistics, and Rhetoric
ISBN: 9783039114429 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Of all the tasks you perform, perhaps none is more consequential for the performance of other tasks than paying attention. When you attend, you perceive. When you attend and perceive, you remember. When you attend, perceive, and remember, you learn. When you learn, you have the option of acting deliberately. Perceiving, thinking, learning, deciding, and acting require the constant adjustment of the attention system. The author proposes a model of the greater attention system as comprising three distinct but interdependent sub-systems: the signal system, the selection system, and...

Mapping Academic Values in the Disciplines: A Corpus-Based Approach
ISBN: 9783034304887 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A broad strand of applied linguistic research has focused on the language of science and scholarship, stressing its role in the construction and negotiation of knowledge claims. Central to the success of such texts is the use of evaluative expressions encoding what is considered to be desirable or undesirable in a given domain. While the speech acts relevant to evaluation have been extensively researched, little is known of the underlying values they encode. This volume seeks to fill the gap by exploring the main facets of academic value in a corpus of research articles from leading journals...

ISBN: 9783034315333 / Angielski / Miękka / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The notion of genre has established itself as a key concept in many disciplines and fields as a means of describing social action and/or recurring patterns of form. Recent social and technological changes are driving the emergence of new genres, the evolution of traditional ones as well as variation within them. In this volume a range of approaches addressing the evolution of genre are presented. Many draw on corpus analysis of the lexicogrammatical features employed in the communicative artefacts addressed; several extend traditional corpus analysis to include non-linguistic or...

Biomedizin als sprachliche Kontroverse

Die mogliche Einfuhrung der Praimplantationsdiagnostik in Deutschland wurde in den Jahren 2000 bis 2002 offentlich kontrovers diskutiert. Ein wesentlicher Bestandteil dieser Diskussion war das Ringen um sprachliche Mittel zur Benennung neuer und umstrittener Sachverhalte. Die Arbeit geht der Thematisierung von Sprache in programmatischen Texten aus dieser Zeit nach. Sie zeigt, dass die systematische Suche nach metasprachlichen Elementen eine Fulle von sprachthematisierenden Markierungen ergibt, die in ihrer inhaltlichen Ausdifferenzierung auf zentrale Streitpunkte dieser Debatte zielen....
