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.
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.
