  • The term 'discourse analysis' has come to be used with a wide range of meanings which cover a wide range of activities. It is used to describe activities at the intersection of disciplines as diverse as sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, philosophical linguistics and computational linguistics. Scholars working centrally in these different disciplines tend to concentrate on different aspects of discourse. Sociolinguists are particularly concerned with the struc- ture of social interaction manifested in conversation, and their descriptions emphasise features of social context which are particu- larly amenable to sociological classification

  • When studying translating and translating (I / T) in university, students often face many difficulties like how to remember what was said, how to express an idea clearly and quickly in the target language, how to translate the source language (SL) into the target language (TL), etc. To help students become better interpreters and translators and enjoy the subject, translation and translation theory was introduced. It is important that potential interpreters / translators understand the I / T process, identify problems during I / T implementation, and then find effective and viable solutions. These issues are also the main content of this short course. Hopefully the participants will find the course practical, useful and enjoyable.

  • This book fills that gap by charting the evolution of the discipline from the mid nineteenth century to the present day. It presents the main ideas, the landmark publications, and the dominant figures of five traditions: historical-philological semantics, structuralist semantics, generativist semantics, neostructuralist semantics, and cognitive semantics. The theoretical and methodological relationship between the approaches is a major point of attention throughout the text: going well beyond a mere chronological enumeration, the book does not only describe the theoretical currents of lexical semantics, but also the undercurrents that have shaped its evolution.

  • I feel encouraged by the widespread response from teachers and students alike to the first edition. I am presenting this second edition, thoroughly revised and enlarged, to my readers in all humbleness. All possible efforts have been made to enhance further the usefulness of the book. The feedback received from different sources has been incorporated. In this edition a new chapter on “The Computer: Its role in Research” have been added in view of the fact that electronic computers by now, for students of economics, management and other social sciences, constitute an indispensable part of research equipment. The other highlights of this revised edition are (i) the subject contents has been developed, refined and restructured at several points, (ii) several new problems have also been...
