Abstract:

This is the third volume in the series Within Language, Beyond Theories, which
focuses on current linguistic research that surpasses the limits of
contemporary theoretical frameworks in order to gain new insights into the
structure of the language system and to offer more explanatorily adequate
accounts of linguistic phenomena taken from a number of the world’s languages.

This book offers a collection of fourteen chapters organized into three parts
and serves as a vehicle for the survey of new voices in discourse analysis,
pragmatics and corpus-based studies. Part I addresses a panorama of topics
related to different discourse types, such as talk show discourse, multimodal
discourse, and everyday spoken discourse, as well as written academic
discourse. Part II covers a range of highly controversial issues in
pragmatics, including the status of ad-hoc concepts, linguistically encoded
meaning, explicit content, and the lexicographic treatment of modality. Part
III encompasses chapters which offer an overview of some of the recent
phenomena covered in the area of corpus-based research, including the semantic
functions of the temporal meanings of selected prepositions; the diffusion of
gerundive complements; the institutionalization and de-institutionalization of
neologisms; contextual factors in the placement of the adverb “well”; the
behaviour of the verb “bake” in copular constructions; the syntactic
flexibility of English idioms and their thematic composition; tendencies in
the formation of nouns in tabloids; and the application of cluster analysis to
the categorization of linguistic data.

Drawing on recent advances in discourse analysis, pragmatics and corpus-based
studies, the majority of the issues discussed here are approached and
investigated from a dual perspective. While on the theoretical side, an array
of different theoretical models is surveyed, in the analytical parts, the
practical applications of the models examined are tested against data from
English (both British and American), Estonian and Polish. The wide range of
theoretical and empirical issues discussed in this book will help to provoke
further academic discussion on the study of language in the areas of discourse
analysis, pragmatics, and corpus-based research.
