This book was released on 1987 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to contribute to the contrastive study of the syntax of English and Dutch. Although it is not the first contrastive grammar of the two languages to be published in Holland, it is undoubtedly the most comprehen­ sive. In writing A Contrastive Grammar of English and Dutch (henceforth CGED), we have been fortunate in having at our disposal the two most ex­ haustive descriptions of English and Dutch published to date: A Comprehen­ sive Grammar of the English Language (CGEL), by Randolph Quirk, Sidney Greenbaum, Geoffrey Leech and Jan Svartvik, which appeared in 1985, and the Algemene Nederlandse Spraakkunst (ANS), by G. Geerts, W. Haeseryn, J. de Rooij and M. e. van den Toorn, published in 1984. Both grammars are based on a traditional descriptive framework; this also holds true for CGED. CGED consists of two parts. Part One ('A Concise English Grammar') pro­ vides an overview of the main points of English syntax. It introduces students to the concepts and terminology they require in order to be able to compare the syntactic structures of English and Dutch. Part One consists of two chap­ ters. In Chapter 1 the questions 'What is grammar?' and 'What is contrastive grammar?' are dealt with briefly.

Download or read book The Dynamics of Language Use written by Christopher S. Butler and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2005-09-22 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a collection of articles characterized by two main themes: the contrastive study of parallel phenomena in two or more languages, and an essentially functional approach in which language is regarded, first and foremost, as a rich and complex communication system, inextricably embedded in sociocultural and psychological contexts of use. The majority of the studies reported is empirical in nature, many making use of corpora or other textual materials in the language(s) under investigation. The book begins with an introductory section in which the editors provide surveys of the state of the art in both functional and contrastive linguistics. The other five sections of the volume are devoted to (i) a cognitive perspective on form and function, (ii) information structure, (iii) collocations and formulaic language, (iv) language learning, and (v) discourse and culture.

Download or read book A Method for Linguistic Metaphor Identification written by Gerard J. Steen and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06-23 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a complete method for the identification of metaphor in language at the level of word use. It is based on extensive methodological and empirical corpus-linguistic research in two languages, English and Dutch. The method is formulated as an explicit manual of instructions covering one chapter, the method being a development and refinement of the popular MIP procedure presented by the Pragglejaz Group in 2007. The extended version is called MIPVU, as it was developed at VU University Amsterdam. Its application is demonstrated in five case studies addressing metaphor in English news texts, conversations, fiction, and academic texts, and Dutch news texts and conversations. Two methodological chapters follow reporting a series of successful reliability tests and a series of post hoc troubleshooting exercises. The final chapter presents a first empirical analysis of the findings, and shows what this type of methodological attention can mean for research and theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La bibliographie de Jacques Lerot impressionne. Par son volume - tout au long de sa carriere, il a ete un auteur fecond - , mais aussi par sa qualite - ainsi, son Precis de linguistique generale (Paris, editions de Minuit, 1993) - et par l'ouverture d'esprit qu'elle manifeste. A l'occasion de son depart a la retraite, vingt et un amis - collegues de Belgique ou de l'etranger, anciens etudiants ou doctorants - se sont reunis a l'instigation de Heinz Bouillon pour proposer 18 articles, ecrits en francais, allemand, neerlandais ou anglais, quatre langues que Jacques Lerot pratique assidument. Comme les horizons de Jacques sont larges, les sujets etudies sont multiculturels, abordant des regions aussi bien proches que lointaines comme le Burundi ou Madagascar. Ils illustrent aussi la multiplicite des diverses approches possibles dans l'etude des faits de langue, passant de la linguistique a la litterature sans oublier la didactique. Dans sa vision scientifique, Jacques Lerot a toujours soutenu que toute explication avait sa place si l'on distingue des niveaux multiples. Gageons qu'il trouvera pour chacune des contributions ici offertes une belle place dans son systeme de pensee a lui.

Download or read book The Grammar of the English Tense System written by and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-08-22 with total page 854 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Grammar of the English Tense System forms the first volume of a four-volume set, The Grammar of the English Verb Phrase. The other volumes, to appear over the next few years, will deal with mood and modality, aspect and voice. The book aims to provide a grammar of tense which can be used both as an advanced reference grammar (for example by MA-level or postgraduate students of English or linguistics) and as a scientific study which can act as a basis for and stimulus to further research. It provides not only a wealth of data but also a unique framework for the study of the English tense system, which achieves great predictive and explanatory power on the basis of a limited number of relatively simple rules. The framework provided allows for an analysis of the semantics of individual tenses which reflects the role of tenses not only in locating situations in time relative to speech time but also in relating situations in time relative to one another to form temporally coherent discourse. Attention is paid to the relations between tenses. On the one hand, we can identify sets of tenses linked to particular temporal areas such as the past or the future. These sets of tenses provide for the expression of a system of temporal relations in a stretch of discourse in which all the situations are located within the same temporal area. On the other hand, there are many contexts in which speakers might in theory choose between two or more tenses to locate a situation (e.g., when we choose between the past tense and the present perfect to locate a situation before speech time), and the book examines the difference that a choice of one or the other tense may make within a discourse context. The book moves from a detailed exploration of the meaning and use of individual tenses to a thorough analysis of the way in which tenses can be seen to function together as sets, and finally to a detailed examination of tenses in, and tenses interacting with, temporal adverbials. Original data is used frequently throughout the book to illustrate the theory discussed.
