This innovative volume presents an in-depth study of the language used by participants in business meetings. The cutting-edge research draws on the Cambridge and Nottingham Business English Corpus (CANBEC), a unique resource which brings together meetings of different types both within and between companies, involving speakers whose roles and responsibilities vary, and who represent a range of nationalities and first languages. Keywords, concordance lines and discourse analysis provide thorough insights into aspects such as the structural stages of meetings, participants' discursive practices, interpersonal language and creativity, and power and constraint. The author concludes by making practical suggestions for using these findings to inform the teaching of business English.

Corpus linguistics is one of the most exciting approaches to studies in applied linguistics today. From its quantitative beginnings it has grown to become an essential aspect of research methodology in a range of fields, often combining with text analysis, CDA, pragmatics and organizational studies to reveal important new insights about how language works. This volume captures some of the most stimulating and significant developments in the field, including chapters on language teaching, institutional and professional discourse, English as an International Language, translation, forensics and media studies. As a result it goes beyond traditional, limited presentations of corpus work and shows how corpora inform a diverse and growing number of applied linguistic domains.

The Cotswolds are one of the most attractive and visited areas in England. The main canals in the region, the Stroudwater and Thames & Severn Canals, cross the Cotswolds from east to west and penetrate some of the most picturesque areas like the Golden Valley and Chalford. Built between 1775 and 1789, the two canals are thirty-seven miles long with fifty-seven locks. Their most interesting features include the impressive groups of locks climbing steeply from Stroud and the famous Sapperton Tunnel, about two and a quarter miles long - the third longest canal tunnel ever built in England. This walking guide, revised for its new edition, takes its readers along the towpath pointing out the main features and giving points of access and public rights of way. Clear, detailed maps show the route, and historical photographs illustrate features along the towpath and show the canal and those who lived and worked upon it.
