The Language of Pick-Up Artists - Online Discourses of the Seduction Industry (Hardcover): Daria Dayter, Sofia Rudiger The Language of Pick-Up Artists - Online Discourses of the Seduction Industry (Hardcover)
Daria Dayter, Sofia Rudiger
R4,478 Discovery Miles 44 780 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book adopts a corpus-based discourse analysis approach to the study of the communicative practices of pick-up artists, offering a systematic exploration of distinct language use in an online community that uses speed-seduction practices for short-term dating and sex. Drawing on a multi-million-word corpus comprising data from online forums, social media, informational websites, and YouTube videos, the volume explores the verbal practices and narrative framing techniques that pick-up artists (PUAs) draw upon in their interactions with women and the terminology-heavy language used in teaching pick-up to foster perceptions of scientific validity. The book also unpacks videos and reports of live interactions to study naturally occurring PUA discourse from different perspectives but also to more closely examine conceptual metaphors of competition and violence and critically reflect on the ethical considerations of working with such communities. This book will appeal to students and scholars in such disciplines as discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, computer-mediated communication, and language and media, as well as those interested in the study of language use online.

Pragmatics in Translation - Mediality, Participation and Relational Work (Paperback): Daria Dayter, Miriam A. Locher, Thomas C.... Pragmatics in Translation - Mediality, Participation and Relational Work (Paperback)

R621 Discovery Miles 6 210 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This Element addresses translation issues within an interpersonal pragmatics frame. The aims of this Element are twofold: first, we survey the current state of the field of pragmatics in translation; second, we present the current and methodologically innovative avenues of research in the field. We focus on three pragmatics issues - relational work, participation structure, and mediality - that we foreground as promising loci of research on translational data. By reviewing the trajectory of pragmatics research on translation/interpreting over time, and then outlining our understanding of the Pragmatics in Translation as a field, we arrive at a set of potential research questions which represent desiderata for future research. These questions identify the paths that can be productively explored through synergies of the linguistic pragmatics framework and translation data. In two case study chapters, we offer two example studies addressing some of the questions we identified as suggestions for future research.

Corpus Pragmatics (Paperback): Daniela Landert, Daria Dayter, Thomas C. Messerli, Miriam A. Locher Corpus Pragmatics (Paperback)
Daniela Landert, Daria Dayter, Thomas C. Messerli, Miriam A. Locher
R621 Discovery Miles 6 210 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This Element discusses the challenges and opportunities that different types of corpora offer for the study of pragmatic phenomena. The focus lies on a hands-on approach to methods and data that provides orientation for methodological decisions. In addition, the Element identifies areas in which new methodological developments are needed in order to make new types of data accessible for pragmatic research. Linguistic corpora are currently undergoing diversification. While one trend is to move towards increasingly large corpora, another trend is to enhance corpora with more specialised and layered annotation. Both these trends offer new challenges and opportunities for the study of pragmatics. This volume provides a practical overview of state-of-the-art corpus-pragmatic methods in relation to different types of corpus data, covering established methods as well as innovative approaches.
