Lexical Priming
Lexical priming is a linguistic theory which seeks to relate corpus‐linguistic concepts such as collocation and colligation to the experimental findings of psycholinguists interested in the retardation and acceleration of word association. In one such set of experiments informants are given a word or image (referred to as a prime) and then a target word; the speed with which the target word is recognized is measured. Some primes are found to reta…
Strategies of writing summaries for hard news texts
This article analyses which propositions of the original hard news texts are replicated in their summaries written by competent readers, with a view to observing the strategies they use to write summaries for this text type and analysing the linguistic devices involved when they implement the strategies. Three strategies, namely deletion, selection and abstraction, are used by summary writers to boil down the original texts to their main points. …

Using concrete statistical evidence from a corpus of newspaper English, but also referring to travel writing and literary text, the author argues t…
On the Surface of Discourse
Contrastive Rhetorics
Considering the immense difficulty of the English language to Japanese students, the ability of some of my boys to express their thoughts in it is astonishing. Their compositions have also another interest for me as revelations, not of individual character, but of national sentiment, or of aggregate sentiment of some sort or other. What seems to me most surprising in the compositions of the average Japanese student is that they have no personal c…
