Discurso de especialidad, discurso especializado o discurso situado?
2018
In a representative problematic, the discourse reflects the behaviour, which integrant may have in a social interaction. The discourse analyses of specific professional communicative situations require observing the linguistic behaviour of the participant from empiric and authentic data (Charaudeau, 2009: 50). This study alludes to the description of specific communicative situations and to the discourse adaptation of the specialized revues produced in a socio-professional context, dealing with the descriptors of selected products, in order to compare the representations of the cocoa and wine descriptions. The suggested lexicographic analysis first explores the different way of defining the…
O pewnej możliwości ewaluacji frazeologii na przykładzie danych z portalu Грамота.ру i z Narodowego Korpusu Języka Rosyjskiego
2020
The author of the article has run an experiment based on extracting a portion of phraseology from an online Russian language dictionary for further corpus-driven study. On the basis of the list of 100 most common Russian nouns the author has constructed queries to the Грамота.ру web portal that led to extracting over 600 idioms. These were subsequently used to perform another search in the Russian National Corpus. The main goal of this article is to construct a small dictionary of phraseological units extracted from Грамота.ру, as well as discuss the problem of evaluation of phraseology with the use of corpus-extracted data. The author argues that this kind of aproach can provide a consider…
Treading lightly on the Earth. Metaphorical frames in the discourse of ecotourism
2013
The present contribution aims to analyse the underlying metaphorical conceptualizations which frame the discourse of ecotourism and their similar or different surface realisations across languages and cultures (American English, British English and Italian). It addresses the issue of ideological categories construed by the discourse of ecotourism to promote its message in order to “persuade potential customers into becoming actual clients by addressing their cultural needs and personal motivations to travel” (Edwards and Curado 2003: 26). Ideology, in this work, relies on van Dijk’s (1998: 9) conceptualization as ‘social cognition’, namely a system of values, beliefs, thoughts shared by mem…
Multi-word Clusters, Keywords and Key Terms in English Car Reviews: a Preliminary Corpus Linguistic Study
2018
Classroom use of authentic texts used in everyday communication has not always been an inseparable part of foreign language teaching. According to Grigaliuniene (2013, p. 17), “the structures many current textbooks teach for certain functions are either never used or used infrequently while quite unexpected structures are the ones that actually occur”. Despite the awareness of the importance of authentic patterns of language use, students often learn structures (lexical or grammatical) which are rarely used in actual communication. Teaching authentic phrases is even more important in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) where learners’ specific needs impact the design of a course (Dudley-Eva…
Textual structure and aphasia
2009
La bibliografía sobre lenguaje y daño cerebral investiga cómo los hablantes que sufren de daño cerebral, tanto los que tienen afasia como lo que tienen lesión en el hemisferio derecho, construyen sus textos, con especial atención a las estructuras narrativas. El uso de un grupo de grabaciones de hablantes afásicos perteneciente al corpus PerLA (Percepción, lenguaje y afasia), se analiza para ver cómo estos hablantes formulan y desarrollan los textos narrativos. Analizamos cómo se adaptan las partes principales de un texto en términos de relevancia cognitiva. Utilizamos las nociones de prototipicidad e iconicidad sintàctica para la explicación de algunas de las características tradicionalmen…
Trastorno por déficit de atención y/o hiperactividad. Materiales y análisis pragmático
2009
El corpus PerLA (“Percepción, Afasia y Lenguaje”), surge en el área de Lingüística General de la Universitat de València como respuesta a la necesidad de integrar el estudio de las patologías lingüísticas en las tendencias actuales de la pragmática y la lingüística de corpus. Si en los volúmenes previos se han publicado transcripciones de datos conversacionales obtenidos en situaciones de validez ecológica, en este quinto volumen, dedicado al Trastorno por Déficit de Atención y/o Hiperactividad (TDAH), se ofrecen datos planificados escritos, que han sido redactados por niños con este diagnóstico y con edades comprendidas entre los 7 y 11 años. El volumen ofrece narraciones y argumentaciones…
Geographic imagination and urban-rural binary in online discourses related to the capital region of Finland : A corpus onomastic study of Helsinki, V…
2023
The article focuses on digital discourses related to Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa, the three biggest municipalities in Finland’s capital region. The data consist of texts from the discussion forum of Suomi24 that was analysed to find out how forum users produce socio-spatial distinctions by categorizing some groups as ‘others’ thus differentiating in-groups and out-groups. The analysis used methods of comprised corpus assisted discourse studies (CADS), including collocation analysis. The results show that discourses related both to native and non-native Helsinkians and to those living in the capital region in contrast to those living elsewhere in Finland are common and the juxtapositions betw…
Managing Relations: a study of positioning strategies in British international discourse
2008
This work deals with corpus-assisted research into speaker ideological positioning in the language of diplomacy. It concentrates on the resources used by the foreign minister Margaret Beckett to construe the speaker “orientation” (Lemke 1992) through the analysis of the main participant in the discourse that is international community and the subject matter being debated namely terrorism. The findings have shown assertiveness and determination from the speaker by the use of contractive mechanisms. The image of the international community is based on cooperation and unity just like a family and it is appraised mainly through judgements of tenacity. These are the resources required to fight t…
European Security Under Threat: Mediating the Crisis and Constructing the Other
2017
Departing from the assumption that discourse is both socially constituted and constitutive, and that social reality is co-constructed by the institutions of mass communication, this chapter takes under scrutiny media representation of the recent refugee crisis in Europe. The objective behind it is to maximise the validity of the Media Proximization Approach (MPA), drawing on the insights from Critical Discourse Studies, cognitive linguistics and corpus linguistics, in explicating how the media can potentially impact on the salience of issues and thus on public perception of problems and threats along with measures to be taken to deal with them. Examining the data from Poland, a European Uni…
Lesiones de hemisferio derecho. Materiales y análisis pragmático (Volumen VII del corpus PerLA).
2011
El corpus PerLA (“Percepción, Afasia y Lenguaje”), surge en el área de Lingüística General de la Universitat de València como respuesta a la necesidad de integrar el estudio de las patologías lingüísticas en las tendencias actuales de la pragmática y la lingüística de corpus. En esta ocasión se presentan seis transcripciones en las que participa un hablante con lesión cerebral de hemisferio derecho, una situación que ha sido poco investigada desde planteamientos lingüístico-logopédicos, y para la que la bibliografía suele proponer síntomas de escaso alcance verbal, como la disprosodia o la agnosia visual. No obstante, el análisis detenido de los datos ecológicos permite comprobar la alterac…
