SOCIOLINGUISTICS
Kira Hall and Mary Bucholtz, eds., GENDER ARTICULATED
Language and the Socially Constructed Self
GENDER ARTICULATED forges new connections between language-related
fields and feminist theory. Refuting apolitical, essentialist
perspectives on language and gender, the essays presented here examine
a range of cultures, languages and settings. They explicitly connect
feminist theory to language research. Some of the most distinguished
scholars working in the field of language and gender today discuss
such topics as Japanese women's appropriation of "men's language," the
literary representation of lesbian discourse, the silencing of women
on the Internet, cultural mediation and Spanish use at New Mexican
weddings and the uses of silence in the Anita Hill-ClarenceThomas
hearings.

TEXT/DISCOURSE ANALYSIS
Murray Knowles and Kirsten Malmkjaer, LANGUAGE AND CONTROL IN
CHILDREN'S LITERATURE
Murray Knowles and Kristen Malmkjaer examine the work of some of our
most popular 19th and 20th century children's writers in order to
expose the persuasive power of language. At the heart of LANGUAGE AND
CONTROL IN CHILDREN'S LITERATURE lie two surveys of children's
favorite readings, the first carried out in 1888, the other a hundred
years later by the authors themselves. Using a computer analysis of
the vocabulary and grammar patterns in the most popular children's
texts of each period, the authors examine the ways in which children's
writers use language to inculcate a particular world view in the minds
of their readers. For example, by examining the work of nineteenth
century English writers of juvenile fiction, the authors expose the
colonial and class assumptions on which the books were predicated.

Carmen Rosa Caldas-Coulthard and Malcolm Coulthard, eds., TEXTS AND
PRACTICES
Readings in Critical Discourse Analysis
TEXTS AND PRACTICES provides an essential introduction to the theory
and practice of Critical Discourse Analysis. The essays demonstrate
how Critical Discourse Analysis can be applied to a variety of written
and spoken texts, by deconstructing data from a range of contexts,
countries and spheres and exposing hidden patterns of discrimination
and inequalities of power. TEXTS AND PRACTICES, which includes
specially commissioned papers from a range of distinguished authors,
provides a state-of-the-art introduction to Critical Discourse
Analysis, making it an important contribution to this developing
field.

Charles Forceville, PICTORIAL METAPHOR IN ADVERTISING
In PICTORIAL METAPHOR IN ADVERTISING, Charles Forceville argues that
metaphor can also occur in pictures and draws on relevant studies from
various disciplines to propose a model for the identification,
classification and analysis of "pictorial metaphors." By using
insights taken from a range of linguistic and cognitive
perspectives--interaction and relevance theory--Forceville
demonstrates his point and provides a framework within which these
pictorial metaphors can be analyzed.

SYNTAX
Herman Wekker and Liliane Haegeman, A MODERN COURSE IN ENGLISH SYNTAX
Now available from Routledge in the US, A MODERN COURSE IN ENGLISH
SYNTAX provides intermediate and advanced students of linguistics and
English with a systematic account of the rules of English syntax, and
acquaints them with the general methodology of syntactic description.
It teaches them how to formulate syntactic arguments, and how to apply
the right criteria and tests in the analysis of sentences. The
technical terms and concepts needed for discussing English structures
are presented step-by-step and all terms are clearly defined and amply
illustrated as they are introduced. The text is interspersed
throughout with exercises and practical assignments which students
will find both useful and enjoyable.
