  • Preparing teachers to teach English as an international language

    • Authors: Aya Matsuda (2017)

  • Critical genre analysis : investigating interdiscursive performance in professional practice

    • Authors: Vijay K. Bhatia (2016)

It was this objective in mind that the book develops an approach to a more critical and deeper understanding of interdiscursive p...

    • Authors: Vyvyan Evans (2015)

In The Crucible of Language, Vyvyan Evans explains what we know, and what we do, when we communicate using language; he shows how linguistic meaning arises, where it comes from, and the way language enables us to convey the meanings that can move us to tears, bore us to death, or make us dizzy with delight. Meaning is, he argues, one of the final frontiers in the mapping of th...
