This collection brings together the authors' previous research with
new work on the Register-Functional (RF) approach to grammatical
complexity, offering a unified theoretical account for its further
study. The book traces the development of the RF approach from its
foundations in two major research strands of linguistics: the study
of sociolinguistic variation and the text-linguistic study of
register variation. Building on this foundation, the authors
demonstrate the RF framework at work across a series of
corpus-based research studies focused specifically on grammatical
complexity in English. The volume highlights early work exploring
patterns of grammatical complexity in present-day spoken and
written registers as well as subsequent studies which extend this
research to historical patterns of register variation and the
application of RF research to the study of writing development for
L1 and L2 English university students. Taken together, along with
the addition of introductory chapters connecting the different
studies, the volume offers readers with a comprehensive resource to
better understand the RF approach to grammatical complexity and its
implications for future research. The volume will appeal to
students and scholars with research interests in either descriptive
linguistics or applied linguistics, especially those interested in
grammatical complexity and empirical, corpus-based approaches.
This book offers original corpus research in a range of workplace
contexts including office-based settings, call center interactions
and healthcare communication. Chapters in this edited volume bring
together leading scholars in the field of corpus analysis in
workplace discourse and include data from multiple corpora.
Employing a range of qualitative and quantitative analytic
approaches including Conversation Analysis, Linguistic Profiling
and Register Analysis, the book introduces unique specialized
corpus data in the areas of Augmentative and Alternative
Communication, nursing, and cross-cultural communication, among
others.
