    Book SynopsisMaggie Charles is Tutor in English for Academic Studies at Oxford University Language Centre, Oxford, UK.Susan Hunston is Professor of English Language at the University of Birmingham, UK.Trade Review"This rich collection of papers explores the complementarity of corpus and discourse approaches to written academic discourse, with examples given both of corpus investigations that are augmented by discourse analysis and also of corpus-assisted discourse analyses. As such, it makes a major contribution to the development of a combined corpus and discourse analytic approach to textual analysis. The papers contained in this collection present thorough, evidence-based descriptions of language use in a range of disciplines, which extend our understanding of how writers construct texts and interact with their readers, in diverse disciplinary contexts. This book is essential reading for students and researchers of academic discourse, and for those involved in the teaching of English for Academic Purposes. It will also interest applied corpus linguists and discourse analysts." -Paul Thompson, Lecturer, University of Reading UK The volume's clear structural and conceptual divisions, along with the various introductions, provide a helpful scaffold for the reader, particularly those less familiar with the issues under discussion. The comprehensive subject and author indexes are also reader friendly and facilitate access to the volume's many interconnecting themes. -Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, Issue 1Table of ContentsContributors; Introduction: Exploring the Interface Between Corpus Linguistics and Discourse Analysis Maggie Charles, Diane Pecorari and Susan Hunston; Part I: Focus on Genre and Disciplinary Discourses; Introduction to Part I Maggie Charles; 1.

  • Continuum Publishing Corporation Academic Writing and Plagiarism

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisPlagiarism has long been regarded with concern by the university community as a serious act of wrongdoing threatening core academic values. There has been a perceived increase in plagiarism over recent years, due in part to issues raised by the new media, a diverse student population and the rise in English as a lingua franca. This book examines plagiarism, the inappropriate relationship between a text and its sources, from a linguistic perspective. Diane Pecorari brings recent linguistic research to bear on plagiarism, including processes of first and second language writers; interplay between reading and writing; writer's identity and voice; and the expectations of the academic discourse community. Using empirical data drawn from a large sample of student writing, compared against written sources, Academic Writing and Plagiarism argues that some plagiarism, in this linguistic context, can be regarded as a failure of pedagogy rather than a deliberate attempt to transgress. The book exTrade ReviewMention -Book News, November 2008"Attitudes to plagiarism are as diverse as the contexts in which it emerges, but this meticulous investigation makes an important contribution to the debate. It will make interesting reading not only for researchers in applied Linguistics but also for anyone concerned with academic writing, faculty academic conduct officers, directors of studies and academic registrars" Times Higher Education, Jan 2009"This is a book that deserves to be widely read, not only by researchers on written discourse, teachers of academic writing and supervisors, but more generally by those with responsibility for drafting and implementing plagiarism policies within the academic community... The value of this book lies in its provision of empirical evidence to back up its central argument" System, 2008"This book is a very useful contribution to the literature on writing using sources. It includes much of the key literature on the topic, and its use of empirical evidence to support its argument is particularly valuable. It provides a detailed descriptive analysis of a number of problems, together with some suggested solutions"Tesolanz Newsletter, April 2009 -- Rosemary Wette"... this book is an important contribution to both our understanding of the controversies regarding plagiarism and to our ability to help students navigate the complexity of the issues that the discussion of plagiarism has raised." - English for Specific Purposes 2009 -- Joel BlochBy viewing plagiarism as a linguistic and cultural phenmenon and by draing on a range of methodological approaches, Pecorari provides researchers and instructors with much to think about when it comes to addressing student plagiarism, especially when working with nonnative-English-speakers. -- Rebecca Moore Howard, Writing Program AdministrationReviewed in the Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, Vol. 33, Number 2 ‘Pecorari's book offers an important application of research into intertextuality in academic English and the findings of hr research project should not be ignored in any university where English is the language of teaching and learning'‘This text is useful not only for program administrators and recruiters (who need to be informed about what constitutes writing, plagiarism and language proficiency) but also for academic writing instructors and supervisors of Masters' theses and doctoral dissertations.' -- The Linguist ListTable of ContentsAcknowledgements \ 1.

He has researched and published extensively in Applied Linguistics and the Philosophy of Education. He had a longstanding association with Bourdieu and is author of four other books on his work, including Agent Provocateur (Continuum).Trade Review"If language is the medium of education, as Grenfell, and the authors of this book (and Bourdieu) would say, then this book is a must for all scholars of language in education, and those who would wish to understand and reflect on educational processes and practices. This book brings a passion, energy and commitment to that task that, as Bourdieu himself would do, challenges and contends with contemporary structures and debates in a lively and provocative manner.

    Trade ReviewWith its unique history and cultural make-up, Japan challenges Western preconceptions about such things as translation, script, identity, modernity and cross-lingual interpretation. In turn, the Japanese case both enriches and broadens international translation studies. This collection testifies to a wealth of material and ideas that are only just beginning to be explored. It will be of interest not only to specialists in translation and interpreting but also to students of literature, anthropology, education, intellectual and disciplinary history, migrant writing and computing. -- Professor Theo Hermans, University College London, UKTable of ContentsSeries Editor's Preface Notes on Contributors Introduction, Judy Wakabayashi and Nana Sato-Rossberg 1.

    15 in stock

    Trade ReviewCommunity Translation, a neglected sub-field of translation studies until recently, is timely ... One of the book's strengths is the many examples to illustrate the different issues raised - from Australia (where the authors are based), but also from Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Canada, US, UK, Spain and Japan. * JoSTrans *Given the increase in migration for economic or political reasons, it is a great idea to provide the basics here and to ensure the appropriate training of community translators. The authors offer information not covered in traditional translator training programs. A few chapters focus on theory, such as cultural changes for people in a minority culture as they are living in a majority culture. However, the authors dedicate most of the book to providing useful tactical information to help with training community translators and provide useful tips for getting started in community translation. This includes supplying information on how to translate official and personal documents and managing quality as well as examples of dealing with translation for temporary communities. Overall, this very informative book provides much useful information to help train community translators. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All academic levels/libraries. * CHOICE *This book is very engaging and easy to follow, enriched with illustrative examples from different parts of the world. * BAAL Newsletter *With Community Translation, Taibi and Ozolins offer a long-overdue examination of the phenomenon of Community Translation. In their book, they situate community translation in the wider field of Translation Studies and outline the defining features of the activity. I read with real interest the insights that the work offers. I will be placing Community Translation on my students’ reading lists as a core text -- Brooke Townsley, Senior Lecturer and Course Leader in Public Service Interpreting and Translation, Middlesex University, UKThis comprehensive overview of the under researched field of Community Translation is a welcome addition to the discipline. It will be a very valuable and useful resource for educators, researchers and practitioners. -- Sandra Hale, Professor of Interpreting and Translation, University of New South Wales, AustraliaTable of ContentsList of Figures Acknowledgements Introduction 1: Community Translation: definitions, characteristics and status quo 2.

    Book SynopsisProfessor John Flowerdew is at the City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong.Series Editor for Contemporary Applied Linguistics: Professor Li Wei (Birkbeck, UK)Trade ReviewThere are to date few [works] that concentrate specifically on context from a discourse analytic perspective [as this book does] ... An ideal resource ... Given its wide-ranging and rich content, this volume will serve as an excellent reference for students, teachers, and researchers in discourse analysis and applied linguistics in general. * Applied Linguistics *Future researchers looking for starting points could consider the varied and complex range of methods used in this volume ... This book will interest researchers and the students they guide into further research topics. * Discourse Studies *A very welcome and thought-provoking read ... All chapters are well-written and introduce their approach to language in context in the clearest possible way. -- Michael Kranert, University College London, UK * The Linguist List *I strongly recommend this volume, as it offers its readers the opportunity to cross their disciplinary border and get insights provided by colleagues with a different expertise and working with different methodologies. Moreover, it provides a solid stepping-stone for further study to any scholar interested in the issue. * Iberica *John Flowerdew presents us with an update and upgrade of discourse studies, much needed when a discipline is exploding with new ideas and approaches. The perpetual renewal of what counts as adequate analysis is the task of any science; Flowerdew offers us the cream of the crop here. -- Jan Blommaert, Professor of Language, Culture and Globalization, University of Tilburg, The NetherlandsThe papers in this welcome volume collected and edited by John Flowerdew show the complex configurations and the pervasive influence of many types of context in the production, structures and interpretation of many genres of text and talk as well as the urgent need for continued theoretical exploration of the nature of contexts and the context-discourse interface. -- Teun A. van Dijk, Professor of Discourse Studies, Pompeu Fabra University, SpainGiven the importance of ‘Context’ in discourse analysis this book’s treatment of how the concept is treated in a wide range of different theories and methodologies makes it an excellent and in-depth introduction to discourse analysis as a whole. Because our understanding of discourse analysis depends on how we conceptualize ‘context’, the diversity of perspectives on ‘context’ found in this volume significantly raises awareness of the diversity of ‘discourse analysis’. While there is no single theory of context that accounts for the breadth of the discourse settings covered in this volume – the press, the courtroom, schools, the European parliament and so on – analysis of how context is relevant in each of these settings leaves the reader in no doubt as to the theoretical importance of ‘Context’ in our understanding of the work language does in the social world. -- Jonathan Charteris-Black, Professor of Linguistics, Campus University of West of England, UKTable of ContentsForeword by Professor Li Wei 1.

    Book SynopsisAstrid Ensslin is Professor in Digital Humanities and Game Studies at the University of Alberta, Canada.Isabel Balteiro is Senior Lecturer in English Linguistics at the University of Alicante, Spain.Trade ReviewOften, one's unique background and diversity shapes experiences in a way that poses significant challenges to such tasks as language translation or situational meaning design. The essays in this book will help readers understand how video games are shaping experiences. Summing up: Recommended * Choice *Approaches to Video-Game Discourse is a field-shaping collection of essays which show how interesting and varied the study of online gaming can be. The book is impressive in its scope, including research about the micro-level features such as word formation and moving through to broader concerns such as the narrativity of particular games. The book should be commended for reaching beyond the study of individual games and paying attention to various paratexts such as video walkthroughs, manuals and the legal language relating to games. The scholars who have contributed to this collection embrace the full range of approaches that are found in discourse studies, using corpus driven analyses, ethnography, pragmatics, and multimodality to explore the texts and interactions of game-playing from empirically informed perspectives. The book will be of interest to linguists and new media scholars alike as a timely resource which helps us all understand how gaming is meaningful in many different ways. * Dr. Ruth Page, Senior Lecturer in Applied Linguistics, University of Birmingham, UK *Finally! A concerted take on the richly, intricately discursive world of gaming. Edited collections have proved to be defining moments in digital discourse studies; this one will be no exception. * Crispin Thurlow, Professor of Language and Communication, University of Bern, Switzerland *Fueled by a new generation of scholars, this volume sketches out videogame discourse studies as a new field of research that extends from corpus-assisted lexical analysis to the multimodal study of paratexts that surround games. The authors draw on concepts and questions from applied, media and sociolinguistics, such as language ideologies, (im)politeness, plain language, and localization. This volume offers an accessible introduction to a field of practice that is massively popular on a global scale, yet quite understudied from a language and discourse perspective. * Jannis Androutsopoulos, Professor of German and Media Linguistics, Universität Hamburg, Germany *Table of ContentsAcknowledgements List of Tables List of Contributors Introduction Locating Videogames in Medium-specific, Multilingual Discourse Analyses, Astrid Ensslin (University of Alberta, Canada) and Isabel Balteiro (University of Alicante, Spain) PART I.
