Culture in Rhetoric
ISBN: 9781433117848 / Angielski / Miękka / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Richard Wilkins and Karen Wolf present an innovative look at the relationship between rhetoric and the ethnography of communication.
They argue that a situated rhetoric extends beyond the study of public discourse to include moments of identification that are used in a situated, social, and cultural way. The main problem the book addresses is the idea that individuals use situated rhetoric to accomplish communal identification, even at the risk of multiple interpretations from others. Culture in Rhetoric draws on case studies exploring argumentation through speaking and silence...

Corpus Analysis for Descriptive and Pedagogical Purposes: ESP Perspectives
ISBN: 9783034315166 / Angielski / Miękka / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

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.
Corpus analysis is driven by a common interest in linguistic evidence, viewed as a source of insights into language phenomena or of lexical,... There is hardly any aspect of verbal communication that has not been investigated using the analytical tools developed by corpus linguists. This is es...
