Winner of the 2020 ESSE Book Award in English Language and
Linguistics Lexical Innovation in World Englishes contributes to
the investigation of World Englishes by offering insights into the
lexical developments of selected English varieties and their
cross-fertilization potential. Taking a theoretical and empirical
approach and focusing on neological formations, this book:
discusses and problematizes different categorizations of English
varieties and processes of word formation, considering the
expansion of English across the world; draws on authentic examples
taken from language corpora to gain a finer understanding of the
varieties' transformations and of their reciprocal influences from
a lexical perspective; aims to validate general considerations on
the lexical features of these varieties of English and test them
using corpora. Including eight empirical case studies, this
innovative text shows the importance of investigating lexical
developments to observe the evolution of a variety while arguing
for the need to go beyond a purely structuralist approach and to
include a broader discursive and sociological perspective. Lexical
Innovation in World Englishes is key reading for postgraduate
students and researchers in the fields of World Englishes and
language varieties.
The primary goal of this book is to reach a better understanding of
how the digital revolution has affected language and discourse
practices in the field of law. It also explores the complex nature
of the techniques and discursive strategies which emerge in the
relationship between the different stakeholders (including
non-experts) thanks to technological advances. By adopting a
discourse analytical perspective which combines both qualitative
and quantitative approaches, the book explores the hybridity of new
genres and communicative processes. It provides an
interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and
educators to present the most recent innovations, trends, and
concerns, as well as any solutions already adopted in their
professional areas. Their insights converge in a truly
multidisciplinary effort to devise and build advanced networks of
knowledge to facilitate the interpretation of data in the field of
legal linguistics - with a specific focus on digitalisation
processes which concern contemporary legal discourse. The book is
meant for scholars interested in the evolution of the
interconnection between language and law in digital environments.
It also addresses law and linguistics students, ideally with some
training in language analysis and particular interest in new media
and genres. All necessary linguistic or legal technicalities are,
however, approached while bearing in mind a wide range of potential
backgrounds and levels of education.
This book addresses different forms of discourse by analysing the
emergence of power dynamics in communication and their importance
in shaping the production and reception of messages. The chapters
focus on specific cognitive aspects, such as the verbal expression
of reasoning or emotions, as well as on linguistic and discursive
processes. The interaction between reasoning, feelings, and
emotions is described in relation to several fields of discourse
where power dynamics may emerge and includes, among others,
political, media, and academic discourse. This volume aims to
include representative instances of this heterogeneity and is
deeply rooted, both theoretically and methodologically, in the
acknowledgment that the investigation of the complex interaction
between reason and emotion in discursive productions cannot be
exempt from the adoption of a multi-disciplinary perspective. By
providing a critical reflection of their methodological decisions,
and describing the implications of their research projects, the
contributors offer insights which are relevant for students,
researchers, and practitioners operating in the broad field of
discourse studies.

This book explores the techniques and discursive strategies that
are typical of the communicative interactions between professionals
and laymen in a jury trial. It also investigates the complex
relationship that emerges between written and oral communication in
different phases of the trial. The analysis takes into account the
many nuances that define these dynamics and the various
possibilities that the jurors have to intervene in the process,
particularly in the light of recent procedural developments.
Special attention is devoted to the observation of the specific
strategies adopted to illustrate legal ideas and concepts to the
jurors according to the speakers' various communicative purposes.
By adopting a discourse analytical perspective which combines both
qualitative and quantitative approaches, the book highlights the
hybridity of the language used in court and the combination of
different styles and registers.
