商品簡介
Czech scholars of English language and literature explore how people make sense of impromptu discourse, academic spoken and written discourse, political discourse, media discourse, and fictional discourse. Among their topics are the development of co-fluency in English as a lingua franca, participial adverbials in academic lectures, creating identities in political speeches, textual structure and coherence in live text sports commentaries, between writing and orality in women's lifestyle magazines, discourse approaches to specialized and popular academic English, and a comparative perspective of pragmatic dimensions in literary texts.
