Communicating safety
Aircraft maintenance personnel worldwide rely on WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTE instructions to prevent injuries, equipment damage, and accidents. However, systematic linguistic analysis of these instruction types has received limited attention in applied linguistics research. Through novel multidimensional analysis of over 70,000 deduplicated safety instructions (1.18 million tokens) from six aircraft families, this study identifies a five-dimension…
Casting nets, keeping fish
This study examines how fishing metaphors, where romantic partners become “fish” and dating becomes “fishing,” structure relationship discourse on Chinese social media. By analyzing the viral terms 海王 (Sea King) and 海后 (Sea Queen) in online discussions on Zhihu (a Chinese Q&A platform), we find gender asymmetries in evaluation and pursuit strategies, yet convergence on a central practice: “fish farming,” which sustains connections through minimal…
The case of English for aviation maintenance
Aircraft manufacturers use Simplified Technical English (STE) as a strategic tool to enhance the readability of aviation maintenance manuals and reduce comprehension errors. This standardized linguistic approach is essential for ensuring global aviation safety, especially as approximately 80% of maintenance technicians worldwide are non-native English speakers (NNES). This study employs Biber's Multi-Dimensional analysis framework (Biber, 1988, 1…

Results indicate that women experience both overt and indirect verbal aggression in different domains of life, expressed through a ran…
