Meaningful Texts - The Extraction of Semantic Information from Monolingual and Multilingual Corpora (Hardcover, New edition):... Meaningful Texts - The Extraction of Semantic Information from Monolingual and Multilingual Corpora (Hardcover, New edition)
Geoff Barnbrook, Pernilla Danielsson, Michaela Mahlberg
R6,010 Discovery Miles 60 100 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The book is divided into two sections, the first on monolingual corpora and the second addressing multilingual corpora. Although the methods used to examine these two types of corpora may differ, the contributors reveal that there are many similarities between the two. The chapters discuss:
- the relationship between methodology and theory
- the importance of computers for linking textual segments, providing teaching tools or translating texts
- the significance of 'training corpora' and human annotation
- how corpus linguistic investigations can shed light on social and cultural aspects of language
- The importance of corpus linguistics in modern linguistic studies
Presenting fascinating research in the field, this book will be of interest to academics researching the applications of corpus linguistics.

Corpus Linguistics, Context and Culture (Hardcover): Viola Wiegand, Michaela Mahlberg Corpus Linguistics, Context and Culture (Hardcover)
Viola Wiegand, Michaela Mahlberg
R4,048 Discovery Miles 40 480 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Corpus Linguistics, Context and Culture demonstrates the potential of corpus linguistic methods for investigating language patterns across a range of contexts. Organised in three sections, the chapters range from detailed case studies on lexico-grammatical patterns to fundamental discussions of meaning as part of the 'discourse, contexts and cultures' theme. The final part on 'learner contexts' specifically emphasises the need for mixed-method approaches and the consideration of pedagogical implications for real world contexts. Beyond its contribution to current debates in the field, this edited volume indicates new directions in cross-disciplinary work.

Text, Discourse and Corpora - Theory and Analysis (Hardcover): Michael Hoey, Michaela Mahlberg, Michael Stubbs, Wolfgang Teubert Text, Discourse and Corpora - Theory and Analysis (Hardcover)
Michael Hoey, Michaela Mahlberg, Michael Stubbs, Wolfgang Teubert
R5,684 Discovery Miles 56 840 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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.

Corpus Stylistics and Dickens's Fiction (Paperback): Michaela Mahlberg Corpus Stylistics and Dickens's Fiction (Paperback)
Michaela Mahlberg
R1,408 Discovery Miles 14 080 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book presents an innovative approach to the language of one of the most popular English authors. It illustrates how corpus linguistic methods can be employed to study electronic versions of texts by Charles Dickens. With particular focus on Dickens's novels, the book proposes a way into the Dickensian world that starts from linguistic patterns. The analysis begins with clusters, i.e. repeated sequences of words, as pointers to local textual functions. Combining quantitative findings with qualitative analyses, the book takes a fresh view on Dickens's techniques of characterisation, the literary presentation of body language and speech in fiction. The approach brings together corpus linguistics, literary stylistics and Dickens criticism. It thus contributes to bridging the gap between linguistic and literary studies and will be a useful resource for both researchers and students of English language and literature.

Children’s Literature and Childhood Discourses - Exploring Identity through Fiction: Anna Cermakova, Michaela Mahlberg Children’s Literature and Childhood Discourses - Exploring Identity through Fiction
Anna Cermakova, Michaela Mahlberg
R3,615 Discovery Miles 36 150 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Children’s fiction reflects social values and stereotypes, and it shapes what children learn about the world. Providing an interdisciplinary perspective on children’s fiction and childhood, this book offers a fresh insight into the key issues in fiction for children, such as gender, social stereotypes, embodied and spatial experience, and emotions. Connecting classic children’s texts such as Alice in Wonderland with contemporary fiction including Harry Potter, the book innovatively brings together perspectives from corpus linguistics, stylistics, cognitive linguistics, literary and cultural studies, and human geography. Chapter authors also include a novelist and a creative practitioner. Divided into two parts – Experiencing Texts, and Fiction and the Real World – the book highlights the important link between fictional stories and real life, and explores a range of approaches to experiencing texts, including a cross-linguistic view through translation and corpus linguistic methods for the study of literary texts. The materiality of texts is also investigated, including the spaces they take up in libraries, their cultural history moulded through performances, and the different reading environments that shape childhood, such as fashion and urban spaces. Connecting academic research with texts of cultural currency, the book casts light on the role of literature in how children construct the world around them.

Geoff Barnbrook, Pernilla Danielsson, Michaela Mahlberg
R3,065 Discovery Miles 30 650 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book reflects the growing influence of corpus linguistics in a variety of areas such as lexicography, translation studies, genre analysis, and language teaching. The book is divided into two sections, the first on monolingual corpora and the second addressing multilingual corpora. The range of languages covered includes English, French and German, but also Chinese and some of the less widely known and less widely explored central and eastern European language. The chapters discuss: the relationship between methodology and theory; the importance of computers for linking textual segments, providing teaching tools, or translating texts; the significance of training corpora and human annotation; how corpus linguistic investigations can shed light on social and cultural aspects of language. Presenting fascinating research in the field, this book will be of interest to academics researching the applications of corpus linguistics in modern linguistic studies and the applications of corpus linguistics.
