A contrastive study on the representation of “Made in China” in Chinese and U.S. newspapers
The label “Made in China” (MIC) is an essential communication tool in the economic rise of China, marking its increasing prominence in international markets with labor-intensive products and also some knowledge-intensive products. This contrastive study adopts a corpus-based critical discourse analysis approach to illustrate how the major English-language newspapers in China and the United States represented MIC between 2006 and 2018. By categori…
No laughing matter!? Analyzing the Page Layout of Instruction Comics
The study reported in this paper analyzes the specific genre of ‘instruction comics’ with regard to typical patterns of comic book pages. As a sequential-pictorial genre with a narrative as well as instructive character, ‘instruction comics’ have recently and increasingly been used in education as a novel way to communicate, for instance, health-related information. The corpus for this study includes 37 single-page first-aid comics that all show …
The Mediatisation of the Chinese Dama in Chinese English-Language Media: A Cognitive Linguistic Approach
The term ‘Chinese dama’ was originally coined by the Wall Street Journal in 2013 to refer to a group of middle-aged and elderly Chinese women who, somewhat frenetically, purchased gold or other items. This study employs a cognitive-linguistic approach to critical discourse analysis to examine how Chinese damas are linguistically mediatised in the Chinese English-language news media. A specialised corpus of 41 news articles with 26661 words, cover…
The multilingual workplace realities of Polish truckers: A case study in the Netherlands
Although international truckers are essential to the European supply chain, we know little about how they deal with their frequent multilingual workplace interactions. This paper examines the effects of participants’ Individual Multilingual Repertoires (Pitzl, Marie-Luise. 2016. World Englishes and creative idioms in English as a lingua franca. World Englishes 35(2). 293–309. https://doi.org/10.1111/weng.12196 ) on their behavior and attitude tow…
Pragmatic markers, discourse markers and modal particles: New perspectives
Multimodal quotation: Role shift practices in spoken narratives
Multimodal analysis of quotation in oral narratives
We investigate direct speech quotation in informal oral narratives by analyzing the contribution of bodily articulators (character viewpoint gestures, character facial expression, character intonation, and the meaningful use of gaze) in three quote environments, or quote sequences – single quotes, quoted monologues and quoted dialogues – and in initial vs. non-initial position within those sequences. Our analysis draws on findings from the lingui…
Fill the Gap! Combining Pragmatic and Prosodic Information to Make Gapping Easy
Two studies investigated the effects of prosody and pragmatic context on off-line and on-line processing of sentences like John greeted Paul yesterday and Ben today. Such sentences are ambiguous between the so-called 'nongapping' reading, where John greeted Ben, and the highly unpreferred 'gapping' reading, where Ben greeted Paul. In the first experiment, participants listened to dialogues and gave a speeded response as to which reading of an amb…
Discourse and Perspective in Cognitive Linguistics
Free indirect discourse in newspaper reports
It has recently been noted (Onrust 1994) that two journalists at the Dutch daily newspaper NRC Handelsblad have introduced a new style of reporting on soccer and other ball games.1 Their articles present a mix of factual reporting of events, background information, interviews and commentary, employing a variety of
Linguistic perspective in short news stories
Ideational and pragmatic markers of discourse structure
On differences between spoken and written language∗
Considering various naturally occurring speaking and writing situations, Chafe (1982) suggested two dimensions along which spoken and written productions in English differ involvement against detachment, and fragmentation against integration. In order to control for the influence of variables that covary with the spoken/written distinction (e.g., topic, planning, formality, audience), an experiment was conducted where modality (speaking/writing) …
