A corpus-driven analysis of phrase frames in research articles on business management
With emerging developments in the use of computer and corpus-linguistic software to analyse language features and linguistic patterns, competent language users frequently rely on a stock of semi-automatic, prefabricated word chunks, rather than constantly creating new combinations of individual words. This has illuminated ways to improve academic writing among novice writers and students. Researchers have begun compiling academic expressions by d…

The Polarity of War Metaphors in Sports News
War metaphors have long been used in sports news reporting. In reality, war metaphors are also used commonly in daily conversations. The wide usage of war metaphors in sports news reporting is because the two domains (i.e. war and sports) are comparable to each other, thereby enabling the use of war terms to describe the sports domain. Following a corpus-informed approach, the strength of modifiers (adjectives) in reversing or retaining the polar…
The Effect of Menus and Signposting on the Speed and Accuracy of Sense Selection
A number of dictionaries include numbered ‘signposts’ in polysemous dictionary entries. These may be placed in a ‘menu’ at the top of the entry, or distributed as ‘shortcuts’ before each meaning. This study compares the effect of three versions of entries for MED2 ‘red’ words (i.e. those of particular usefulness to learners): with their original menus, without menus, and with the menu information dispersed within the entry. Participants selected …
