Corpus and Sociolinguistics Investigating Age and Gender in Female Talk
ISBN: 9789027223128 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Age is by far the most underdeveloped of the sociolinguistic variables in terms of research literature.

This book examines the discourse of adulthood and accounts for sociolinguistic variation, with regards to age and gender, through the exploration of a 90,000 word age-and gender-differentiated spoken corpus of Irish English. The book explores both the distribution and use of a number of...

Wasserstein's important new interpretation is...

Over the last two centuries, social space has developed a strange folded quality, where physical space comes more and more to be doubled by a space of the movement of information. Telesthesia, or perception at a distance, comes increasingly to characterize how we see and hear and know the...
