The role of language is central in education - but there is much
debate about the exact relation between children's language and
their educational success. The author provides a clear guide to the
basic issues in the debates over language deficit, standard English
and classroom language, and in this edition he shows how work in
sociolinguistics can give a better understanding of the place of
language in education and society.
This fourth edition of Urban Planning and Real Estate Development
guides readers through the procedural and practical aspects of
developing land from the point of view of both planner and
developer. The twin processes of planning and property development
are inextricably linked - it is not possible to carry out a
development strategy without an understanding of the planning
process, and, equally, planners need to know how real estate
developers do their job. The planning system is explained, from the
increasing emphasis on spatial planning at a national, local, and
neighbourhood level down to the detailed perspective of the
development management process and the specialist requirements of
historic buildings and conservation areas. At the same time, the
authors explain the entire development process from inception,
through appraisal, valuation, and financing, to completion.
Sustainability and corporate social responsibility and their impact
on planning and development are covered in detail, and the future
consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic are explored in new opening
and closing chapters setting the text in a global context. Written
by a team of authors with many years of academic, professional, and
research experience, and illustrated throughout with practical case
studies and follow-up resources, this book is an invaluable
textbook for real estate and planning students and helps to meet
the requirements of the RICS and RTPI Assessment of Professional
Competence.

Despite a vast amount of study, literacy is still a very confused
topic, which requires the integration of findings from different
areas. Reading and writing are psychological skills, but they are
also linguistic skills (since people read and write meaningful
language) and social skills (since written language serves
particular functions in different societies). In this book Michael
Stubbs provides a basis for a sociolinguistic theory of literacy.
He believes that a systematic theory of literacy must be based on
an understanding of a number of factors, such as the relationship
between written and spoken language, including how English spelling
works and how it is related to spoken English. Also of paramount
importance are the social, educational and technological pressures
on written language, which are particularly powerful in the case of
an international language like English; the social and
communicative functions which written language serves - largely
administrative and intellectual functions; and the variability of
spoken language and the relative uniformity of written language.
The book also discusses the arguments behind deprivation theory as
an explanation of educational failure. Reading failure is not well
understood, but the author stresses that a vital element is the
attitude of teachers towards the child's language. He emphasizes
that it is important that teachers should understand as much as
possible about the relationship between written language and the
child's spoken language. Such understanding, he argues, can only
increase tolerance of regional, social and ethnic diversity in
language.

Corpus linguistics is often regarded as a methodology in its own
right, but little attention has been given to the theoretical
perspectives from which the subject can be approached. The present
book contributes to filling this gap. Bringing together original
contributions by internationally renowned authors, the chapters
include coverage of the lexical priming theory, parole-linguistics,
a four-part model of language system and language use, and the
concept of local textual functions. The theoretical arguments are
illustrated and complemented by case studies using data from large
corpora such as the BNC, smaller purpose-built corpora, and Google
searches. By presenting theoretical positions in corpus
linguistics, "Text, Discourse, and Corpora" provides an essential
overview for advanced undergraduate, postgraduate and academic
readers. "Corpus and Discourse Series" editors are: Wolfgang
Teubert, University of Birmingham, and Michaela Mahlberg, Liverpool
Hope University College. Editorial Board: Frantisek Cermak
(Prague), Susan Conrad (Portland), Geoffrey Leech (Lancaster),
Elena Tognini-Bonelli (Lecce and TWC), Ruth Wodak (Lancaster and
Vienna), and Feng Zhiwei (Beijing). Corpus linguistics provides the
methodology to extract meaning from texts. Taking as its starting
point the fact that language is not a mirror of reality but lets us
share what we know, believe and think about reality, it focuses on
language as a social phenomenon, and makes visible the attitudes
and beliefs expressed by the members of a discourse community.
Consisting of both spoken and written language, discourse always
has historical, social, functional, and regional dimensions.
Discourse can be monolingual or multilingual, interconnected by
translations. Discourse is where language and social studies meet.
"The Corpus and Discourse" series consists of two strands. The
first, "Research in Corpus and Discourse", features innovative
contributions to various aspects of corpus linguistics and a wide
range of applications, from language technology via the teaching of
a second language to a history of mentalities. The second strand,
"Studies in Corpus and Discourse", is comprised of key texts
bridging the gap between social studies and linguistics. Although
equally academically rigorous, this strand will be aimed at a wider
audience of academics and postgraduate students working in both
disciplines.

Linguistics has traditionally concentrated on studying single
sentences or isolated speech acts. In this book Michael Stubbs
explores one of the most promising new directions in contemporary
linguistics--the study of many sentences and how they fit together
to form discourse. Using many examples drawn from recorded
conversations, fieldwork observations, experimental data, and
written texts, he discusses such questions as how far discourse
structure is comparable to sentence structure; whether it is
possible to talk of "well formed" discourse as one does of
"grammatical" sentences; and whether the relation between question
and answer in conversation is syntactic, semantic, or pragmatic.
