The Chinese English vowel space across three provinces
In this paper, a quantitative analysis of the Chinese English vowel space is presented, researching the influence of gender, region and data elicitation method on the vowel space of participants from Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan. Chinese English vowels have been shown to vary in their vowel space and in their lax-tense distinction. While English spoken in Guanxi (Deterding, 2016) and Yunnan have been studied previously, English spoken by partici…
Durational variation across inner/outer/expanding circle varieties of English
The durational variation, often referred to as speech rhythm, of outer and expanding circle varieties has often been described as different from inner circle varieties due to L1 influence. In an attempt to quantify previous subjective accounts, this preliminary study investigates durational variation across Kachru’s three circles, analyzing data of four inner circle, one outer circle and three expanding circle varieties, using durational variatio…
A Terrible Beauty Is Born”
Even though the use of digital tools as an alternative to or in support of more traditional methods is no longer considered a novelty in the context of language learning, as a consequence of the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, what used to be an opportunity was transformed into a pressing and inevitable necessity that led all the actors involved in the training and evaluation process to radically change their way of teaching and assessing. Wit…
Policing sexuality? Corpus linguistic perspectives to 'government' in homosexuality narratives on Nigerian twitter
Governments are central to the representations and attitudes to homosexuality, since they formulate laws that ultimately shape civic engagement. In view of this, we explore the linguistic representations of ‘government’ and other discourse agents in online Nigerian homosexuality discourses. The data for the study is a self-collected corpus from ‘Nigerian’ Twitter. This was subsequently processed with Anthony’s (2019) AntConc software. The quantit…

Limits of Discourse
This contribution looks at modern discourse from two perspectives. It tries to show that the term ‘discourse’ has been expanded over the last few decades to include more phenomena and more disciplines that use it as a basis for their analyses. But it also tries to show that discourse in the sense of effective interaction has met its limits. The fundamental question is: When is discourse real discourse, i.e. more than a series of unrelated utteran…
Theme choices in Czech University students’ English-medium Master's theses
Intercultural variation in academic discourse
This paper explores the form and function of the initial part of a sentence, the “Theme zone” (Hannay, 1994; Fetzer, 2008), in the genre of research articles, with a threefold purpose. First, it deals with a comparative analysis of Theme zone patterns (i.e. employment of simple and multiple Themes – the latter being several different configurations of topical, interpersonal and textual Themes) in a corpus of research articles written by English a…
Comment on ‘Researching and critiquing World Englishes’ (A. Mahboob and J. Liang)
In their interesting recent contribution to Asian Englishes, Ahmar Mahboob and Jiawei Liang raise some issues that are important for all researchers in New Englishes, although they take research in...
Academic writing and new Englishes
This contribution tries to unify two recent research strands in English linguistics: studies in academic writing and in New Englishes. This is useful because, in line with the prominent theory of social constructionism, discourses in both strands can be seen as practices of communities that negotiate their cultural norms. The relationship between language, cognition, and (national) culture is illustrated on the basis of several models, research a…
Register differentiation in East African English
The article examines register variation in East African English by submitting the East African component of the International Corpus of English (ICE) to a complete multidimensional analysis (Biber 1988). A six-factor model was extracted using 67 linguistic features (Biber 1988). The results show that the extent of register variation is not less in ICE-East Africa than in Biber (1988). However, East African English displays unique stylistic featur…

Cultural discourse in the Corpus of East African English and beyond
This contribution discusses content as well as methodology. As far as content is concerned, it looks at culture‐specific lexemes in East African English and compares it with the international reference varieties of English, British and American. As far as methodology is concerned, it uses the East African component of the International Corpus of English (ICE‐EA) and explores to what extent culture‐specific lexemes (East Africanisms or Kenyanisms/…

Analyzing the style of East African newspapers in English
This case study looks at one important source of linguistic data ‐newspapers ‐and discusses related problems of text‐type classification and feature interpretation. With texts from the East African ICE components as a database an attempt is made to assess the influence of different production contexts on the formal composition of texts. The issue of house‐style and problems of text categorization are discussed, a distinction being made between di…
