Frontmatter -- Contents -- Introduction -- I Meaning in time and space -- Digital discourse and its discontents -- Text, intertext and meaning -- Hic sunt dracones -- II Variation in time -- Presenting knowledge of the world -- Interpreting the world of late modern English medical writing -- A corpus-based analysis of grammarians’ references in 19th-century British grammars -- Construing justice -- III Variation in space -- Variation in the complementiser choice between if and whether -- Using intensifier-adjective collocations to investigate mechanisms of change -- There’s different types -- Academic prose across countries -- A corpus-based study of metadiscoursal boosters in applied linguistics dissertations written in Thailand and in the United States -- Patterns and meanings of hedging verbs in English-medium research articles by Chinese and Western scholars -- The EMI campus as site and source for a multimodal corpus -- Index
Summary: Variation in Time and Space: Observing the World through Corpora is a collection of articles that address the theme of linguistic variation in English in its broadest sense. Current research in English language presented in the book explores a fascinating number of topics, whose unifying element is the corpus linguistic methodology. Part I of this volume, Meaning in Time and Space, introduces the two dimensions of variation – time and space – relating them to the negotiation of meaning in discourse and questions of intertextuality. Part II, Variation in Time, approaches the English language from a diachronic point of view; the time periods covered vary considerably, ranging from 16th century up to present-day; so do the genres explored. Part III, Variation in Space, focuses on global varieties of English and includes a contrastive point of view. The range of topics is again broad – from specific lexico-grammatical structures to the variation in academic English, combining the regional and genre dimensions of variation. This is a timely volume that shows the breadth and depth in current corpus-based research of English.
