The spoken core of British English: a diachronic analysis based on the BNC

This research takes as its starting point a frequency analysis of the demographicspoken subcorpus of the British National Corpus in order to focus on two aspects of the evolution of spoken core vocabulary in British English. The first is the impact on the core of contact with other languages and, the second, the role of lexical innovation and/or replacement in the history of this core. Our analysis, which, to a certain extent, follows up on that carried out in Fuster (2007) questions the hypothesis that the spoken core is immune to foreign influence or that it is highly resistant to change. pennock@uv.es; fuster@uv.es

Text coherence and pragmatic failure

EFL university students in the context of studies in English Philology often reach an adequate standard in speaking and writing informal English. However, they have difficulty mastering some of the formal genres they are required to produce such as academic essays. Students often seem to have got most things right in their essays or other writing tasks but teachers are still left with the feeling that something is amiss. After analysing students' texts, the conclusion that many teachers come to is that the fault lies somewhere above the level of the sentence but that is difficult to pinpoint with exactitude. The questio is then, what factors contribute to the 'foreignness' of students' writ…

Digital Storytelling as a genre of mediatized self-representations: an introduction

Este artículo ofrece una revisión crítica de algunos de los estudios más relevantes sobre relato digital y propone una tipología de género que permite una clasificación inicial en dos grandes tipos: educativo y social. El argumento principal es que la diferenciación entre lo social y educativo, aunque uno no excluye al otro, ofrece la posibilidad de clasificar la producción masiva de relatos digitales disponibles hoy en día en Internet. Los artículos incluidos en este número son, en su mayoría, educativos (Ramírez-Verdugo y Grande Sotomayor, y Reyes, Pich & García, Londoño-Godoy), aunque en todos ellos todos ellos incluyen algunos rasgo de lo social. Bou-Franch nos habla de las estrategias …
