Abstract:

This volume brings together for the first time research by linguists
working in cross-linguistic discourse analysis and by second language
researchers working in the contrastive rhetoric tradition. The collection
of articles by prominent authors and younger scholars encompasses a variety
of research approaches and treats numerous naturally-occurring spoken and
written genres, including conversations, narratives, academic expository
writing, journalism, advertising, and professional promotional texts.
Languages examined include English, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese,
Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew, Urdu, Dutch, Turkish and Serbo-Croatian.
Taken individually and collectively, the articles in this collection draw
important conclusions concerning the roles of cognition, multilingualism,
communities of practice, and linguistic typology in shaping discourse
within and across cultures.
