The book presents new issues and areas of work in modality and
evidentiality in English(es), and in relation to other European
languages (French, Galician, Lithuanian, Spanish). Given the
complexity of the relations among modal and evidential expressions,
their constant diachronic evolution, and the variation found in
different English-speaking areas, and in different genres and
discourse domains, the volume addresses the following issues: the
conceptual nature of modality, the relationship between the domains
of modality and evidentiality, the evolution and current status of
the modal auxiliaries and other modal expressions, the relationship
with neighbouring grammatical categories (tense, aspect, mood), and
the variation in different discourse domains and genres, in
modelling stance and discourse identities.
This book offers a systemic-functional account of Spanish, and
analyses how Spanish grammatical forms compare and contrast with
those of English. The authors analyse Spanish according to the
three main 'metafunctions': ideational, interpersonal, and textual.
The result is a comprehensive examination of Spanish grammar from
the clause upwards. Presupposing little or no knowledge of Spanish,
this book will be of interest to researchers in Spanish language,
systemic functional linguistics or contrastive linguistics.
Explores the direct relation of modern CALL (Computer-Assisted
Language Learning) to aspects of natural language processing for
theoretical and practical applications, and worldwide demand for
formal language education and training that focuses on restricted
or specialized professional domains. Unique in its broad-based,
state-of-the-art, coverage of current knowledge and research in the
interrelated fields of computer-based learning and teaching and
processing of specialized linguistic domains. The articles in this
book offer insights on or analyses of the current state and future
directions of many recent key concepts regarding the application of
computers to natural languages, such as: authenticity,
personalization, normalization, evaluation. Other articles present
fundamental research on major techniques, strategies and
methodologies that are currently the focus of international
language research projects, both of a theoretical and an applied
nature.
