Fachsprache definiert sich als Sprachvarietat: Sie divergiert systematisch von anderen markierten Sprachstilen sowie von dem unmarkierten Neutralstil. Vor diesem Hintergrund ermittelt der Autor die fachsprachlichen Markierungen durch einen innersprachlichen Vergleich. Er arbeitet als Subsystem vier textsyntaktische Umstrukturierungen heraus. Mit dieser Analyse werden das fachsprachliche Outfit und seine Wirkung systematisch erklar-, plan- sowie machbar und fachsprachliches Redigieren, Textoptimierung und auch Fachubersetzung werden lehrbar. Zusatzlich zu den vier Umstrukturierungen ist Fachsprache konstituiert durch zwei spezifische Nominationstechniken. Dies sind die Ergebnisse der zahlreichen Textanalysen und kognitiven Unterrichtsmodelle, die hier vorgelegt werden.

Multilingual Glossary of Language Testing Terms (Paperback): Alte Members Multilingual Glossary of Language Testing Terms (Paperback)

Inevitably, it is in the most commonly used languages that the vocabulary of language testing and assessment is most highly developed, and for which most of the literature has been produced. A multilingual glossary has a significant role to play in encouraging the development of language testing in less widely taught languages. The idea of producing a multilingual glossary of assessment and language testing terms has grown out of the needs experienced by members of the Association of Language Testers in Europe (ALTE) while engaged in work on language testing projects. It is anticipated that this glossary will be of use, not only to members of ALTE, but to many others working in the context of European languages, who are involved in language testing and assessment. The glossary contains entries in ten languages: Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Irish, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.

Affect in Language Learning (Paperback): Jane Arnold Affect in Language Learning (Paperback)
Jane Arnold
R1,297 Discovery Miles 12 970 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The affective domain and the emotional factors that influence language learning have been of interest in the field of language teaching for a number of years. By proposing a holistic approach to the learning process, this volume takes the position that the language learning experience will be much more effective when both affect and cognition are considered. The eighteen chapters discuss issues such as memory, anxiety, self-esteem, facilitation, autonomy, classroom activities, and assessment from the perspective of affect.

Michael Byram, Michael Fleming
R1,307 Discovery Miles 13 070 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book addresses the ways in which language learning is related to learning about other cultures and to acquiring an ability to communicate across cultural frontiers. It argues that language learners need to develop sensitivity to cultural difference and its impact on communication, and to acquire the skills of discovering and interpreting other cultures, other values, beliefs and behaviors that lie beneath the surface of cross-cultural communication. Contributors show how drama can be used to develop cultural awareness and how learners can acquire ethnographic skills to help them investigate and understand other cultures and societies.

Die Autorin widmet sich dem Einsatz von Sprachtechnologien in der Technischen Dokumentation. Sie untersucht die steuernden Einflusse von externen Ressourcen auf den kognitiven Schreib- und UEbersetzungsprozess. Im Fokus ihrer Arbeit stehen die Vorteile, aber auch technologischen Grenzen von Controlled-Language-Checkern und Authoring-Memory-Systemen. Anhand von empirischen Untersuchungen stellt sie dar, dass sich eine sprachliche Steuerung im Schreibprozess positiv auf die Aspekte Lesbarkeit, Verstandlichkeit und UEbersetzbarkeit auswirkt. Daruber hinaus profitieren im UEbersetzungsprozess eingesetzte Sprachtechnologien, wie Translation-Memory-Systeme, durch eine Verbesserung der Matchraten aufgrund des Einsatzes von automatischen Sprachprufprogrammen. Dieser Band schliesst die Reihe ab.

An Introduction to Applied Linguistics - From Practice to Theory (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition): Alan Davies An Introduction to Applied Linguistics - From Practice to Theory (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)
Alan Davies
R824 Discovery Miles 8 240 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Language and language problems affect all of us and are an integral part of our social experience.

In "An Introduction to Applied Linguistics," Professor Davies takes this simple fact as his starting point and sets out to show that applied linguistics is better understood by doing it than studying or reading about it. Beginning with the history and definitions of applied linguistics, he then looks at the full spectrum of 'institutional' and 'non-institutional' uses of language, spanning not only language learning and teaching but also language as a socio-psychological phenomenon. Whilst setting this practical outlook against the historical background of changing public needs and competing ideologies, Davies shows that a theory can be derived.

The book has been updated throughout. The amendments include a re-examination of the Linguistics Applied-Applied Linguistics opposition, a survey of Applied Linguistics curricula, a consideration of whether there is any difference between the terms Educational Linguistics and Applied Linguistics, further discussion of the role of correctness and of ethics and a new study of the challenges to Applied Linguistics of socio-cultural theory, the theorising of World Englishes and the concept of the native speaker. There is a new final chapter which surveys the whole volume and makes connections with the other volumes in the Series.

The book provides an excellent introduction to the problems and issues that arise in the practice of applied linguistics. Reviewers of the First Edition have described it as 'required reading for all who consider themselves applied linguists', 'an interesting and provocative book', 'obligatory reading for studentsand researchers in applied linguistics' and 'an admirable description of the nature of applied linguistics, the mentality of its practitioners and the problems that they encounter'. It will repay study by all those working professionally with language and those generally interested in the relationship between linguistics and applied linguistics. Readily accessible to graduate students, it will be of considerable benefit to those undergraduate students who are prepared to persevere.

Key Features:

Introductory text and the foundation volume for the series.

Emphasis on the importance of experience.

Examples of applied linguistics in language teaching and in other settings.

Exercises and demonstrated examples included.

Textsemantik Des Antezedenten Und Semantische Funktion Des Relativsatzes (German, Hardcover): Horst Ehrhardt Textsemantik Des Antezedenten Und Semantische Funktion Des Relativsatzes (German, Hardcover)
Horst Ehrhardt; Manuel Kraus
R1,332 Discovery Miles 13 320 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Der Autor weist in seiner Analyse nach, dass die Textsemantik des Antezedenten die semantische Funktion des Relativsatzes bestimmt und sich erst daraus ableiten lasst, ob ein Relativsatz "identifizierend" oder "pradizierend" ist. Das Buch thematisiert daruber hinaus die Zusammenhange zwischen der Morphosyntax des Relativsatzes und der semantischen Funktion des Relativsatzes. Hierbei analysiert der Autor die Kasus des Antezedenten und des Relativpronomens sowie die Kontakt- oder Distanzposition des Relativsatzes. Er stellt heraus, welche spezifischen Charakteristika fur die Zwischenelemente vor dem Relativsatz bei Distanzposition sowie fur die Restelemente nach dem Relativsatz bei Kontaktposition in Frage kommen.

The study of classical languages by earlier generations of English-speaking students was greatly facilitated by the traditional study of English grammar in the schools emphasising precisely the grammatical concepts, terms, and constructions needed for the study of Greek and Latin. While recent textbooks presume little or no previous grammatical sophistication on the part of their students, they often provide little more by way of remediation than definitions of grammatical terminology. This book offers a student-friendly comparative exposition of English and ancient Greek grammatical principles -- from the most basic to the most complex, first in English, then in Greek -- that will prove a useful supplement to a wide range of beginning Greek textbooks as well as a handy reference for those continuing on to upper-level courses.
