This book is the second of the two-volume collection of papers on formulaic language. The collection is among the first in the field. The authors of the papers in this volume represent a diverse group of international scholars in linguistics and psychology. The language data analyzed come from a variety of languages, including Arabic, Japanese, Polish, and Spanish, and include analyses of styles and genres within these languages.
Formulaic Language, Vol. 1 - Distribution and Historical Change
This book is the first of the two-volume collection of papers on formulaic language. The collection is among the first ones in the field. The book draws attention to the ritualized, repetitive side of language, which to some estimates make up over 50% of spoken and written text. While in the linguistic literature, the creative and innovative aspects of language have been amply highlighted, conventionalized, pre-fabricated, off-the-shelf expressions have been paid less attention an imbalance that this book attempts to remedy.
Techniques of Description - Spoken and Written Discourse
Written as a tribute to Malcolm Coulthard, a leading figure in studies of discourse, Techniques of Description is a collection of specially commissioned, state-of-the-art essays by leading international linguists. All the papers share certain assumptions about language study: that descriptions should be data-based, data-tested, and replicable. The collection contains original and important research on descriptions, with intriguing applications to forensic, gender and literary studies. It will be invaluable for scholars of English language and discourse studies.
Michel Foucault is generally considered one of the most brilliant and influential philosophers of the twentieth century, yet much of his writing has remained unpublished and/or unavailable in English. It is only recently that the French publisher Gallimard issued Dis et crits, the first complete collection of everything Foucault published outside of his monographs. Ethics, the first of three volumes in the collection, provides a lucid and accessible overview of Foucault's work.
