Studies in Specialized Discourse
This book analyses the various features of specialized discourse in order to assess its degree of specificity and diversification, as compared to general language. Prior to any analysis of such traits, the notion of specialized discourse and its distinctive properties are clarified, also as compared to other features frequently occurring in specialized texts which cannot be considered distinctive. The presence of such properties are accounted for not only in linguistic but also in pragmatic terms since the approach is interpretative rather tan merely descriptive. The complexity of this discourse calls for a multidimensional analysis, covering both lexis and morpho-syntax as well as textual patterning. Some lexical aspects, morphosyntactic features and textual genres are also examined from a diachronic perspective, thus showing how various conventions concerning specialized discourse have developed over the last few centuries.
Advances in Efficiency and Productivity II
This book surveys the state-of-the-art in efficiency and productivity analysis, examining advances in the analytical foundations and empirical applications. The analytical techniques developed in this book for efficiency provide alternative ways of defining optimum outcome sets, typically as a (technical) production frontier or as an (economic) cost, revenue or profit frontier, and alternative ways of measuring efficiency relative to an appropriate frontier. Simultaneously, the analytical techniques developed for efficiency analysis extend directly to productivity analysis, thereby providing alternative methods for estimating productivity levels, and productivity change through time or produ...
Evidence-based LSP
This book presents a number of different perspectives on the central theme of 'evidence' and its interpretation in the study of specialist languages and their various uses. The principal topics include text corpora, citation patterns, some challenging dichotomies, terminology and knowledge management, and specialist translation. Each topic is presented in one of five parts, each with its own introduction. The volume includes contributions from established and new researchers in the field, as well as well-known scholars from other disciplines who bring a fresh eye to LSP studies. The book presents selected papers from LSP2003, the 14th European Symposium on Language for Special Purposes held at the University of Surrey, Guildford, in co-operation with the AILA Scientific Commission on Language for Special Purposes.
Teaching and Learning with Innovative Technologies in Higher Education
Teaching and Learning with Innovative Technologies in Higher Education provides a wealth of expertly curated case studies demonstrating how educators and technologists can leverage emerging digital technologies to enhance students’ experiences. As university staff integrate transformative digital learning tools into their pedagogical practices with a mix of excitement and consternation, new insights are needed into the opportunities, success and limitations of these fast-evolving tools. This book presents real-world examples of effective, digitally enriched approaches to teaching delivery and standards, student engagement and inclusivity, immersive simulations and environments and beyond. Spanning a diverse, comprehensive range of digital technologies deployed in higher education, these practical case studies will guide novice and experienced academics across disciplines in updating their instructional skills and course content for new generations of learners.
