What are the real benefits of studying the large quantities of text now available in corpora? How do we best conceptualize meaning itself? more...

  • Dascal, Marcelo; Gerhardus, Dietfried; Lorenz, Kuno; Meggle, Georg: Sprachphilosophie / Philosophy of Language / La philosophie du langage. 2. Halbbandby

    Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 1996; US$ 707.00

    This series of HANDBOOKS OF LINGUISTICS AND COMMUNICATION SCIENCE is designed to illuminate a field which not only includes general linguistics and the study of linguistics as applied to specific languages, but also covers those more recent areas which have developed from the increasing body of research into the manifold forms of communicative action and interaction.For "classic" linguistics there appears to be a need for a review of the state of the art which will provide a reference base for the rapid advances in research undertaken from a variety of theoretical standpoints, while in the more recent branches of communication science the handbooks will give researchers both an verview and orientation.To attain these objectives, the... more...

  • Wordwatchingby Alex Horne

    Ebury Publishing 2010; US$ 16.52

    Alex Horne loves words. He loves them so much, in fact, that he's decided to invent his own ... and get them into the dictionary. But, as Alex discovers, gaining entry into the official lexicon takes more than just a gentle word in the ear of the editor. Evidence is required - Alex needs proof that his words are being spoken by more people than just him and his mum. He needs what the dictionary authorities call a 'corpus' of examples, hard data showing that his new words are in widespread and long-term usage. So a corpus he resolves to create, no matter what obstacles he might meet on the way. This is the epic and ridiculous story of one man's struggle to break into the dictionary. From covert word-dropping on Countdown to wilfully misinforming... more...
