Description: Conversation in Context : A Corpus-driven Approach, Hardcover by Ruhlemann, Christoph; McCarthy, Michael (INT), ISBN 0826497136, ISBN-13 9780826497130, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Rühlemann offers an examination of real-life speech data from the British National Corpus to show how language is used in natural conversation. The text is based on the thesis completed by the author for a PhD in English linguistics from Ludwig-Maximilians U., Munich. The study provides an overview of characteristic features of British conversation, describes the use of some frequent conversational features that have to-date not been systematically researched using corpus linguistic methods, and explores social differentiation in the use of selected features of British conversation. The author also tests the hypothesis that a situation-based description of conversation can demonstrate how conversational language is adapted to certain needs arising from specific types of constraints on speakers in conversational situations. For academics researching corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, and sociolinguistics. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
