    - Contributions of Different Bilingual Experiences to Cognitive Control Differences Among Young-adult Bilinguals
    av Zhilong Xie
    762,-

    The question whether bilingualism is linked to benefits in cognitive control (executive functions) is intensely debated among linguists. While some studies come to the conclusion that bilingual individuals consistently outperform their monolingual counterparts on tasks involving cognitive control, other studies argue that there is no coherent evidence showing that bilingual advantages actually exist. This opposing view results from two inadequately investigated perspectives, namely the complexities of bilingualism and the multifaceted nature of cognitive control. This publication combines these two perspectives and presents a new approach towards the analysis of bilingual advantage. It discusses the results of a combined analysis of both specific bilingual experiences and specific aspects of cognitive control.

    - A textual and visual metadiscourse analysis
    av Larissa D'Angelo
    1 110,-

    This volume presents a cross-disciplinary analysis of academic poster presentations, taking into consideration the text and visuals that posters display depending on the discipline within which they are created. As the academic poster is a multimodal genre, different modal aspects have been taken into consideration when analysing it, a fact that has somehow complicated the genre analysis conducted, but has also stimulated the research work involved and, in the end, provided interesting results. The analysis carried out here has highlighted significant cross-disciplinary differences in terms of word count, portrait/landscape orientation and layout of posters, as well as discipline and subdiscipline-specific patterns for what concerns the use of textual interactive and interactional metadiscourse resources and visual interactive resources. The investigation has revealed what textual and visual metadiscourse resources are employed, where and why, and as a consequence, what textual and visual metadiscourse strategies should be adopted by poster authors depending on the practices and expectations of their academic community.

  • - Linguistic Features, Experiential and Functional Dimensions of Online and Scripted Interactions
    av Pietro Luigi Iaia
    655,-

    This book examines the English lingua-franca (ELF) uses in a corpus of online and scripted video-game interactions. While research generally explores the playful and technological aspects of computer-mediated communication, this study focuses on the strategies of cooperation, language simplification and authentication, lexical creativity and meaning negotiation that are generally activated within the community of practice of gamers to facilitate cross-cultural conversations. The scripted exchanges, instead, are examined by means of the ALFA Model (Analysis of Lingua Franca in Audiovisual texts), which is devised to enquire into the extent to which the non-native participants' language variations are part of the multimodal actualisation of the cognitive construct of non-native speakers, to which authors resort in order to prompt specific reactions on the part of the receivers. Finally, since the participants' turns in both online and scripted interactions are visually represented as written messages on screen, this research also contributes to the development of the description of written ELF variations, so far not thoroughly explored in the literature.

    Medium-sized language communities face competition between local and global languages such as Spanish, Russian, French and, above all, English. The various regions of Spain where Catalan is spoken, Denmark, the Czech Republic, and Lithuania show how their medium-sized languages (a term used to distinguish them as much from minority codes as from more widely-spoken codes) coexist alongside or struggle with their big brothers in multilingual families. This comparative analysis offers unique insight into language contact in present-day Europe.

    Le present ouvrage se consacre a la question de la definition lexicographique des unites lexicales adjectivales, a travers l'analyse de plus de 80 adjectifs du francais et de leurs definitions et la proposition subsequente d'un modele de paraphrasage, au niveau lexicographique, de ce type d'unite lexicale. Il se distingue en cela des etudes anterieures, qui se sont principalement focalisees sur des questions generales concernant l'adjectif, comme par exemple son positionnement par rapport au nom (anteposition ou postposition), son role d'attribut ou d'epithete, ou encore ses proprietes morphologiques, syntaxiques et semantiques. Nos rflexions se concentreront, dans un premier temps, sur le traitement lexicographique de l'adjectif, dans les dfinitions offertes par les dictionnaires traditionnels. Cela nous permettra, par la suite, d'en proposer une normalisation : pour ce faire, nous nous inspirerons des principes fournis par la Lexicologie Explicative et Combinatoire.

  • - Estudio de los factores de familiaridad, interes, genero y metodos de evaluacion
    av Ana Cristina Lahuerta Martinez & Alberto Isusi Alabarte
    1 061,-

    Una de las destrezas que constituyen el aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera (L2) es la comprension lectora. Este libro analiza y estudia factores individuales que podrian afectar a la misma, como la familiaridad con el contenido, el interes en el tema, el genero del lector y su nivel de competencia en L2, asi como dos tareas de evaluacion: immediate written recall, o reproduccion de informacion del texto, y multiple choice.La lectura en general, la lectura de L2 en particular, y los modelos de lectura, hasta llegar al de Bernhardt (2005, 2010), constituyen los cimientos de la investigacin. A partir de los mismos, se analizan los factores del lector y los tipos de prueba mencionados, y se resean una serie de estudios empricos sobre los mismos. Finalmente, los autores dan cuenta de la investigacin que llevan a cabo con el fin de medir la influencia que dichas variables pueden ejercer sobre la comprensin lectora de L2.

    - A Stylistic Analysis of Newsspeak
    av Massimiliano Morini
    625,-

    A Day in the News is the linguistic description of a single day in the life of the British press - Wednesday, 19 August 2015. Employing a variety of tools and methods - from multimodality to pragmatics, from close reading to computational stylistics - Morini looks at nine different journalistic worlds and their respective Newsspeaks. The results are often revealing: by providing its readers with an accurate idea of the universe projected by each paper, this study revises many received ideas on the clear-cut boundaries separating popular from highbrow journalism.In the process, A Day in the News also sums up more than three decades of work on the language of newspapers, and provides a general analytical method for journalism in the digital age. The three chapters of the book focus, respectively, on the multimodal features of newspapers and their e-editions; on the quantitative prominence accorded to certain wordings and topics in each newspaper; and on the ideological/evaluative slant with which news items are presented and commented. Throughout, the focus is not on some outmoded notion of journalistic style, but on the degrees of proximity or distance presupposed by different formats, layouts and linguistic registers.

    Cette étude aborde les usages du participe présent et du gérondif dans la presse française contemporaine. Une mise au point préalable dresse un état des lieux des principaux travaux théoriques concernant la distinction entre ces deux modes, en partant des grammaires générales pour passer aux études axées sur le système verbal et en arriver aux analyses spécifiques abordant le participe présent et/ou le gérondif. Suit une description des cas de figure relatifs au participe présent d¿un côté et au gérondif de l¿autre, illustrés par les résultats d¿une recherche menée sur un corpus journalistique. Ce travail vise à appréhender ces deux modes verbaux dans une perspective qui, partant de la prise en compte de l¿occurrence ponctuelle et de sa configuration intraphrastrique, se veut destinée à une mesure transphrastique voire textuelle. Les nombreux exemples recensés pour chaque catégorie isolée offrent un vaste matériel authentique qui peut servir de base pour comprendre et comparer les divers emplois, que ce soit de la part de spécialistes ou de la part d¿enseignants ou d¿étudiants aux prises avec les multiples manifestations des formes en ¿ant.

    Cette étude examine la relation que différentes personnes entretiennent avec l¿écrit, en montrant dans quelles circonstances ces dernières lisent et écrivent, avec quelle adéquation elles le font ainsi que la façon dont elles se représentent le rôle de l¿écrit dans leur vie. Par le biais de sept entretiens semi-directifs et dans une approche à la fois psychologique, sociologique et ethnographique, elle tente de répondre aux questions suivantes : Quelles sont les ressources scripturales dont un individu a besoin pour fonctionner aisément dans une société lettrée ? Peut-il facilement développer ses compétences une fois la scolarité terminée ? D¿où viennent les représentations de l¿écrit ? Quels sont les écrits valorisés dans notre société ? Et finalement, quel est le rôle du multilinguisme dans la compétence scripturale et les représentations de l¿écrit ? L¿analyse des données a conduit à une théorisation de la compétence scripturale définie comme l¿accès à un répertoire de genres dont la maîtrise nécessite des connaissances linguistiques sur le système graphique du français, mais aussi des connaissances socio-pragmatiques sur l¿usage de ces genres. Dans un chapitre de synthèse, l¿auteure identifie une série de paramètres qui permettent de définir plus précisément les aptitudes requises pour chaque genre et les obstacles à cette maîtrise. Finalement la conclusion met en évidence l¿interaction entre besoins, obstacles et développement de la compétence scripturale.
