The dialogic construction of self and other in response to terrorism
An applied linguistic study of talk in twelve focus groups (N=96) – six in London, where bombs exploded in July 2005, and six in Leeds, home to three of the bombers – investigates the effects of terrorism on people’s personal and social landscapes. Emotional responses of fear, of both violence and retaliation, and suspicion contribute to multiple disruptions in the construction of Self and Other. Muslim participants, who before lived with a multi…

The Discourse Dynamics Approach to Metaphor and Metaphor-Led Discourse Analysis
The use of metaphor as a tool to uncover people's ideas, attitudes, and values through analysis of discourse is demonstrated and illustrated with data collected in a social science research project. A “discourse dynamics” approach to metaphor situated within a complexity/dynamic systems perspective is developed. This approach is turned into a method of “metaphor-led discourse analysis” which is described in detail, using a focus group discussion …

Faculty Members’ Perceptions of How Academic Work is Evaluated: Similarities and Differences by Gender
Style and Content in E-Mails and Letters to Male and Female Friends
This study examined gender differences in the style and content of e-mails and letters sent to friends on the topic of how time had been spent in the previous summer. Gender differences were found in both style and content supporting previous findings that female communication is more relational and expressive than that of males and focuses more upon personal and domestic topics. Women used the less formal stylistic conventions of e-mails to sign…
Polysemy: Flexible Patterns of Meaning in Mind and Language
About fifty years ago, Stephen Ullmann wrote that polysemy is 'the pivot of semantic analysis'. Fifty years on, polysemy has become one of the hottest topics in linguistics and in the cognitive sciences at large. The book deals with the topic from a wide variety of viewpoints. The cognitive approach is supplemented and supported by diachronic, psycholinguistic, developmental, comparative, and computational perspectives. The chapters, written by s…
Gender-Linked Differences in the Style and Content of E-Mails to Friends
Previous research has found gender differences in the style of language used in both written communication and face-to-face interaction. Such differences have also been found in electronic interactions with strangers. This study examined the style and content of emails describing a recent holiday written by men and women for male and female friends. In line with traditional gender stereotypes, some gender differences were found in the topics cove…
Metaphor, Play and Drama: The Role of the Symbolic in the Development of Sociolinguistic Competence
In this paper I explore the inter-relationships between metaphor, play and drama, and the roles they play in the development of sociolinguistic competence. I concentrate particularly on the role of symbolic play in the development of metaphor, and the importance of metaphor in discourse. Symbolic play has long been seen as important in child development and I show how metaphor is another of the abilities that arises from pretend play. I then look…
