Constructing the Welfare State in the British Press

Boundaries and Metaphors in Political Discourse

Malgorzata Paprota, Maria Curie-Sklodowska University, Poland Analysing political discourse in the British press during a time of crisis and austerity, this book examines how the concept of the welfare state has been constructed between 2008 and 2015. A corpus from four British newspapers from across the political spectrum is brought together to investigate the political debate on its evaluation and the ambiguity about its exact definition. A discoursehistorical approach is used to establish what the welfare state is, and conceptual metaphor theory is then used to explore its figurative conceptualisations.

Transgender Identities in the Press

A Corpus-based Discourse Analysis

Angela Zottola, University of Turin, Italy Analysing a corpus of articles collected from English-language newspapers in the UK and Canada, this book critically explores the linguistic cues and patterns used by the print media in their representation of trans people.

Teaching Pragmatics and Instructed Second Language Learning

Study Abroad and Technology-Enhanced Teaching

Nicola Halenko, University of Central Lancashire, UK This book explores second language pragmatic development with a specific focus on two areas: classroom-based pragmatic instruction in the study abroad context, and using technology for developing and assessing pragmatic competence. It directly compares the effects of technology platforms and traditional paper-based tasks within the second language environment for developing pragmatic competence.

The Semiotics of Architecture in Video Games

Gabriele Aroni, Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, China This book investigates the architecture of video games, the buildings, roads and cities in which gamers play out their roles. Examining both the aesthetic aspects and symbolic roles of video game architecture as they relate to gameplay and storytelling, Gabriele Aroni explores the relationship between digital and real architecture, and the inspirations for digital gaming architecture. Combining semiotics and architecture theory and using case studies from NaissanceE, Assassin’s Creed II and Final Fantasy XV, The Semiotics of Architecture in Video Games discusses the techniques used to create successful virtual spaces and proposes a framework to analyse video games architecture.

Rationality and Interpretation

On the Identities of Language

David Evans, Liverpool Hope University, UK Taking a unique approach which combines sociolinguistics with theoretical linguistics, this book presents a view of language and grammar as simultaneously a cognitive and socio-cultural phenomena. Showing how language development can act back on central areas of grammar and language, this book explores the notion that different branches of linguistics can complement each other and are not mutually exclusive. Drawing on the philosophical ideas of Bakhtin, Bergson, Chomsky, Derrida and Wittgenstein, David Evans explores how language progresses from an inner reflection of the rational mind to develop social and ideological aspects as it interacts with culture.

The Production-Comprehension Interface in Second Language Acquisition

An Integrated Encoding-Decoding Model

Anke Lenzing, Paderborn University, Germany This book explores the relation between second language (L2) production and comprehension at the level of processing. Proposing an ‘Integrated Encoding-Decoding Model’ of SLA, Anke Lenzing presents the results of a comprehensive empirical study to demonstrate the extent to which the two modalities rely on shared representations and/or shared processes. Through this detailed analysis, she sheds new light on the cognitive architecture of human language processing and offers a deeper understanding of the mechanisms at work in the L2 acquisition process.

Narrating Migrations from Africa and the Middle East

A Spatio-Temporal Approach

Edited by Ruth Breeze, University of Navarra, Spain, Sarali Gintsburg & Mike Baynham, University of Leeds, UK Adopting both a linear and multimodal approach, this book explores narratives produced by different groups of MENA and SSA migrants or refugees to reveal the spatial and temporal aspects of their experiences. Investigating how feelings surrounding space and time are manifested within these different narratives and their affective-discursive practices, it shines a light on the way in which people inhabit multiple real and digital spaces.

Appliable Linguistics and Social Semiotics

Developing Theory from Practice

Edited by J. R. Martin, University of Sydney, Australia, John Knox, Macquarie University, Australia & David Caldwell, University of South Australia, Australia This volume examines the theoretical insights, questions, and developments that have emerged from the application of Systemic Functional theory to a range of fields, from education, medicine and media to popular film, robotics and sports coaching. Demonstrating how SFL has critiqued, developed and transformed theory and practice, it foregrounds the implications of application for Systemic Functional theory itself and assesses the advances that have been made from many years of productive dialogue between theory and practice.

Exploring British Sign Language via Systemic Functional Linguistics

A Metafunctional Approach

Luke A. Rudge, University of the West of England, UK Presenting a description and analysis of British Sign Language (BSL) from the perspective of Hallidayean Systemic Functional Linguistics, Luke Rudge explores how BSL users make meaning from three different perspectives: - How exchanges of information are managed at a social level (the interpersonal metafunction) - How experience is encoded in the language (the experiential metafunction) - How communications are organised into coherent parts and wholes (the textual metafunction). Examining these perspectives Exploring British Sign Language via Systemic Functional Linguistics, provides a complementary viewpoint on how visual-spatial communications may be understood as social semiosis.

Translation Beyond Translation Studies

Edited by Kobus Marais, University of the Free State, South Africa Considering the alternative uses of ‘translation’ beyond the narrow perspectives of the field of translation studies itself, this book explores translational aspects in contexts in which scholars do not usually think about the term. Taking our understanding of 'translation' back to its basic semiotic principles, leading experts outline the wide variety of alternative fields of study, practices, applications and contexts in which the term ‘translation’ is used. Chapters examine 15 different fields of study, exploring what the term ‘translation’ means, how it could contribute to an enlarged understanding of ‘translation’ as a concept.
