Abstract:
Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.
Signalling nouns (SNs) are abstract nouns like 'fact', 'idea', 'problem' and
'result', which are non-specific in their meaning when considered in isolation
and specific in their meaning by reference to their linguistic context. SNs
contribute to cohesion and evaluation in discourse. This work offers the first
book-length study of the SN phenomenon to treat the functional and discourse
features of the category as primary. Using a balanced corpus of authentic
data, the book explores the lexicogrammatical and discourse features of SNs in
academic journal articles, textbooks, and lectures across a range of
disciplines in the natural and social sciences. The book will be essential
reading for researchers and advanced students of semantics, syntax, corpus
linguistics and discourse analysis, in addition to scholars and teachers in
the field of English for academic purposes.
