Corpus Analysis of News Discourse
This paper addresses historical and contemporary news discourse from a Corpus Linguistics (CL) perspective and with English in focus. I first illustrate the main changes undergone by news discourse since its early development to the present time, particularly with reference to “who” has been conveying news, namely its producers and purveyors, and to “how” news has been conveyed, namely its modes and channels. Special attention is dedicated to the…
Learning Ecologies and Transcultural Interaction in EMI Classes: A Comparison of Student Perceptions in Italy and Taiwan
The boundaries between different approaches to English Medium Instruction (EMI) are often blurred, and the term has evolved to encompass a wide range of practices at the tertiary level (Macaro et al., 2018). EMI in multilingual university settings acknowledges the diverse linguistic environments of internationalised higher education, where both learners and teachers contribute to shaping the language learning ecology (Dafouz & Smit, 2020). This a…
The (ever)changing face of news, with broadcast interviews in focus
In this paper I intend to shed light on broadcast news interviews with a focus on the increasing role of video-mediated platforms. To do so, I first overview the rules of conduct journalists are required to follow, pondering on whether the shift to video-platforms has made substantial changes to what recommended in manuals and posited in scholarly studies. Then, I illustrate a corpus-based case study of news interviews carried out by professional…

Modality in Contemporary English
This book offers original theoretical accounts and a wealth of descriptive information concerning modality in present-day English. At the same time, it provides fresh impetus to more general linguistic issues such as grammaticalization, colloquialization, or the interplay between sociolinguistic and syntactic constraints. The articles fall into four sections: (a) the semantics and pragmatics of core modal verbs; (b) the status of emerging modal i…
Drawbacks and Pitfalls of Machine-Readable Texts for Linguistic Research
The paper highlights and discusses some practical issues related to the drawbacks and pitfalls of computerised texts in regard to both databases themselves and the software employed to codify and search them. In the first place, some corpora and databases are compiled in such a way as to be searched and analysed by means of tools which allow only specific kinds of search to be made. This often prevents scholars from carrying out their own free st…
