Los investigadores noveles en geografía que buscan difundir su investigación en revistas de impacto necesitan conocer la estructura retórica de los movimientos y la organización de los resúmenes en ...artículos de investigación (RAI); sin embargo, existe una cierta limitación en el número de estudios que investigan las formas lingüísticas y su conexión con la estructura retórica de movimientos en los RAI de geografía. En este artículo se hace un análisis multidimensional de los marcos y colocaciones de grupos gramaticales y la extensión de los movimientos retóricos de 190 resúmenes de artículos de investigación de dos revistas de geografía indexadas en la Web of Knowledge. La estructura de los movimientos se investigó utilizando el esquema de movimientos de Hyland (2004): Introducción-Propósito- Método-Resultado-Conclusión. Los resultados revelan que los RAI sobre geografía tienen una estructura de cinco movimientos con tres movimientos "esenciales", cuyas funciones son presentar el propósito, los métodos y los resultados, y dos movimientos "convencionales", cuyas funciones son presentar un trasfondo para la investigación y los comentarios finales. Los hallazgos de los análisis multidimensionales indicaron que los movimientos que ocurren con mayor frecuencia en los RAI en geografía (Propósito, Métodos y Resultados) ocupan la mayor parte del espacio de texto, y que incluyen más marcos de grupos gramaticales. Los hallazgos indican la importancia de combinar la investigación de la estructura retórica de movimientos en un género concreto con la exploración de las formas lingüísticas en cada movimiento, y a su vez pueden ser útiles para los investigadores y profesores de inglés para fines académicos, con el objeto de entender las características retóricas y lingüísticas de tipos concretos de RAI. Palabras clave: resumen de artículo de investigación en geografía; análisis multidimensionales; estructura de movimientos retóricos; realizaciones lingüísticas; longitud de movimiento; marcos de grupos gramaticales Novice Geography researchers need to be acquainted with the rhetorical move structure and organization of scientific research article abstracts (RAAs); yet there is a lack of studies investigating the linguistic realizations involved and their connections to the rhetorical move structure in Geography RAAs. This paper conducted a multidimensional analysis to explore phrase frames/collocations and move length and their connection to the rhetorical move structure and sequence in 190 Geography RAAs from journals indexed in the Web of Science Master Journal List. The move structure was investigated employing Hyland's (2004) move scheme, Introduction-Purpose-Method-Product-Conclusion. The results revealed that Geography RAAs have a five-move structure, consisting of three "essential" moves whose functions are to present Purpose, Methods and Results, and two "conventional" moves, whose functions are to present Introduction and Conclusion. The findings of the multidimensional analyses indicated that the moves that occurred most frequently in Geography RAAs (Purpose, Methods and Results) occupied most text space and included more phrase frames. The findings indicate the importance of combining investigations of the rhetorical move structure in a particular genre with an exploration of the linguistic realizations in each move as this may provide both researchers and English for Academic Purposes (EAP) tutors with valuable resources for understanding the rhetorical and linguistic characteristics of specific RAA types. Keywords: Geography research article abstract; multidimensional analysis; rhetorical move structure; linguistic realizations; move length; phrase frames
Sprachliche Zweifelsfälle begegnen uns auf allen Sprachebenen und laden zur Sprachreflexion ein. Aus diesem Grund bieten sie die Möglichkeit des Austausches zwischen Sprachwissenschaft, ...Sprachdidaktik und Laienlinguistik. Dieser Sammelband widmet sich daher gleichermaßen der linguistischen und sprachdidaktischen Perspektive auf Zweifelsfälle sowie dem Umgang mit Zweifelsfällen in der breiten Öffentlichkeit.

eBook
Jordan Fenlon and Julie A. Hochgesang present a revolutionary
contribution to the field of signed language linguistics with
Signed Language Corpora, the first volume to provide a
comprehensive ...overview of the creation, development, and use of
signed language corpora. This work will advance discussions on
corpus linguistics as a methodology and its place in signed
language linguistics research. The ability to search corpora to
obtain information about the frequency of patterns in language is
an important step forward for signed language research. Access to
large datasets will expand scholarly understandings of signed
language structure in ways never before possible. Through
reflective discussions on the processes of creating, using, and
utilizing corpora, the editors and contributors hope that other
linguists will be inspired to take similar steps. The descriptions
provided in this book have been written to provide a framework for
those eager to develop or make use of signed language corpora for
their respective signed language varieties. Creating signed
language corpora is significant not only for linguistic research,
but for the long-term preservation of collected texts that include
the stories and histories of signed language communities.
Additional areas of focus include the use of signed language
corpora in applied settings, the ethics of working with signed
language communities, and the future of this methodology in
research.
Analyzing Grammar is a clear introductory 2005 textbook on grammatical analysis, designed for students beginning to study the discipline. Covering both syntax (the structure of phrases and sentences) ...and morphology (the structure of words), it equips them with the tools and methods needed to analyze grammatical patterns in any language. Students are shown how to use standard notational devices such as phrase structure trees and word-formation rules, as well as prose descriptions. Emphasis is placed on comparing the different grammatical systems of the world's languages, and students are encouraged to practice the analyses through a diverse range of problem sets and exercises. Topics covered include word order, constituency, case, agreement, tense, gender, pronoun systems, inflection, derivation, argument structure and grammatical relations, and a useful glossary provides a clear explanation of each term. Accessibly written and comprehensive, Analyzing Grammar is set to become a key text for all courses in grammatical analysis.
Grafiken, Diagramme, Schemata nehmen in der Linguistik wichtige Funktionen ein: Sie visualisieren Analyseergebnisse, verdeutlichen komplexe theoretische Konzepte oder ermöglichen überhaupt erst die ...Analyse von Daten. Es handelt sich dabei um Achsendiagramme, Netze, Listen, Karten und viele weitere Formen. Doch wie beeinflussen sie die Entstehung von wissenschaftlichen Tatsachen? In welche Handlungen sind sie eingebunden und welche Effekte haben sie auf sprachliche Daten? Wie ermöglichen Sie Transformationen von Daten, um neue Erkenntnisse zu gewinnen? Das Buch untersucht diagrammatische Praktiken in der Sprachwissenschaft sowohl aus historischer als auch technischer Sicht und zeigt die Einbettung dieser Praktiken in Diagrammkulturen und „Coding Cultures“. Die Vielfalt der Diagramme wird auf fünf diagrammatische Grundfiguren zurückgeführt, deren spezifischen Funktionen und Effekte analysiert werden. Semiotisch und wissenschaftstheoretisch unterfüttert wird sodann eine Methodologie der Visuellen Linguistik entwickelt.
Can there be such a thing as an impossible human language? A biologist could describe an impossible animal as one that goes against the physical laws of nature (entropy, for example, or gravity). Are ...there any such laws that constrain languages? In this book, Andrea Moro—a distinguished linguist and neuroscientist—investigates the possibility of impossible languages, searching, as he does so, for the indelible “fingerprint” of human language.
Moro shows how the very notion of impossible languages has helped shape research on the ultimate aim of linguistics: to define the class of possible human languages. He takes us beyond the boundaries of Babel, to the set of properties that, despite appearances, all languages share, and explores the sources of that order, drawing on scientific experiments he himself helped design. Moro compares syntax to the reverse side of a tapestry revealing a hidden and apparently intricate structure. He describes the brain as a sieve, considers the reality of (linguistic) trees, and listens for the sound of thought by recording electrical activity in the brain. Words and sentences, he tells us, are like symphonies and constellations: they have no content of their own; they exist because we listen to them and look at them. We are part of the data.
