Routledge Applied Linguistics is a series of comprehensive
textbooks, providing students and researchers with the support they
need for advanced study in the core areas of English language and
applied linguistics. Each book in the series guides readers through
three main sections, enabling them to explore and develop major
themes within the discipline. Section A: Introduction, establishes
the key terms and concepts and extends readers' techniques of
analysis through practical application. Section B: Extension,
brings together influential articles, sets them in context, and
discusses their contribution to the field. Section C: Exploration,
builds on knowledge gained in the first two sections, setting
thoughtful tasks around further illustrative material. This enables
readers to engage more actively with the subject matter and
encourages them to develop their own research responses. Throughout
the book, topics are revisited, extended, interwoven and
deconstructed, with the reader's understanding strengthened by
tasks and follow-up questions. Pragmatics: provides a broad view of
pragmatics from a range of perspectives, gathering readings from
key names in the discipline, including Geoffrey Leech, Michael
McCarthy, Thomas Kohnen, Joan Manes and Nessa Wolfson covers a wide
variety of topics, including speech acts, pragmatic markers,
implicature, research methods in pragmatics, facework and
politeness, and prosody examines the social and cultural contexts
in which pragmatics occurs, such as in cross-cultural pragmatics
(silence, indirectness, forms of address, cultural scripts) and
pragmatics and power (the courtroom, police interaction, political
interviews and doctor-patient communication) uses a wide range of
corpora to provide both illustrative examples and exploratory tasks
is supported by a companion website at www.routledge.com/cw/archer
featuring extra activities and additional data for analysis,
guidance on undertaking corpus analysis and research, including how
to create your own corpus with CMC, and suggestions for further
reading. Written by experienced teachers and researchers in the
field, Pragmatics provides an essential resource for students and
researchers of applied linguistics.
Intonation in Text and Discourse: Beginnings, Middles and Ends describes the way in which speech melody, or intonation, is used to signal the structure of spoken texts, and it is the first text on discourse intonation to explore a wide variety of naturally-occurring spoken data.
Corpora are well-established as a resource for language research;
they are now also increasingly being used for teaching purposes.
This book is the first of its kind to deal explicitly and in a
wide-ranging way with the use of corpora in teaching. It contains
an extensive collection of articles by corpus linguists and
practising teachers, covering not only the use of data to inform
and create teaching materials but also the direct exploitation of
corpora by students, both in the study of linguistics in general
and in the acquisition of proficiency in individual languages,
including English, Welsh, German, French and Italian. In addition,
the book offers practical information on the sources of corpora and
concordances, including those suitable for work on non-roman
scripts such as Greek and Cyrillic.

It is clear that a printed text provides the reader with more
information than the words alone. This includes punctuation marks,
capitalisation, paragraphs, headings and sub-headings, all of which
help the reader to understand how the words are organised into
sentences, and sentences are organised into a coherent text. In a
spoken text, this typographical information is necessarily absent.
So how do readers and speakers provide equivalent information to
the listener? Intonation in Text and Discourse describes the way in
which speech melody, or intonation, is used to signal the structure
of spoken texts. It examines the role of intonation in clarifying
the relationship between successive utterances, from close cohesive
ties ('middles') to major breaks for a new topic ('ends' and
'beginnings'). The book is concerned chiefly with the intonational
structuring of read or prepared monologue, but also devotes a
chapter to current developments in the analysis of intonation in
conversation. It describes not only how intonation is used to
organise systematic turn-taking but also how it can signal greater
or lesser degrees of co-operativeness. It addresses finally the
complex issue of attitudinal intonation - the elusive 'tone of
voice'. The first book on discourse intonation to deal with such a
wide variety of naturally-occurring spoken data, Intonation in Text
and Discourse will be of great interest to students, lecturers and
researchers of intonation and all aspects of spoken discourse.
