Risky health choices and the Balloon Economic Risk Protocol
Modelling the effects of crime type and evidence on judgments about guilt
Spoken Grammar
This article synthesises progress made in the description of spoken (especially conversational) grammar over the 20 years since the authors published a paper in this journal arguing for a re-thinking of grammatical description and pedagogy based on spoken corpus evidence. We begin with a glance back at the 16th century and the teaching of Latin grammar in England, with its emphasis on speaking the target language. Later grammars were dominated by…
Stylistics and real readers
Stylistics has long claimed to be an empirical method of literary analysis. One aspect of this empiricism is stylistics’ commitment to studying the effect of texts on readers. Short (1996, p. 6) emphasises the reader-centred nature of stylistics, stating that researchers in the fi eld are ‘profoundly interested in the rules and procedures which we, as readers, intuitively know and apply in order to understand what we read’. In reality, however, s…
The role of input flood and input enhancement in EFL learners' acquisition of collocations
The study investigated L 2 learners' acquisition of verb‐noun and adjective‐noun collocations following two kinds of instruction: input flood only and input flood plus input enhancement (in the form of underlining ). L 1 P olish learners of E nglish as a foreign language were exposed to infrequent collocations embedded in stories that were read during three consecutive weeks. Their collocational competence was subsequently assessed in a battery o…

Capturing context for heterogeneous corpus analysis
Heterogeneous corpora are emergent multi-modal datasets which comprise a variety of different records of everyday communication, from SMS/MMS messages to interactions in virtual environments, and from GPS data to phone and video calls. By tracking a person’s specific (inter)actions over time and place, the analysis of such “ubiquitous” corpora enables more detailed investigations of the interface between different communicative modes. This paper …
Hygiene and Biosecurity
Infectious diseases, such as methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus and avian influenza, have recently been high on the agenda of policy makers and the public. Although hygiene and biosecurity are preferred options for disease management, policy makers have become increasingly aware of the critical role that communication assumes in protecting people during outbreaks and epidemics. This article makes the case for a language‐based approach to…
Discourse of `transformational leadership' in infection control
The article explores the impact of the `transformational leadership' style in the role of modern matron with regards to infection control practices. Policy and guidance on the modern matron role suggest that it is distinctive in its combination of management and clinical components, and in its reliance on transformational leadership. Senior nurses are therefore expected to motivate staff by creating high expectations, modelling appropriate behavi…
From Corpus to Classroom
From Corpus to Classroom summarises and makes accessible recent work in corpus research, focusing particularly on spoken data. It is based on analysis of corpora such as CANCODE and Cambridge International Corpus, and written with particular reference to the development of corpus-informed pedagogy. The book explains how corpora can be designed and used, and focuses on what they tell us about language teaching. It examines the relevance of corpora…
Literature and language teaching 1986–2006
For Christopher Brumfit (1940–2006) The teaching of literature can thus be seen as a means of introducing learners to such a serious view of our world, of initiating them in the process of defining themselves through contact with others’ experience. How it is best done, what the relationship between ‘reading’ and ‘literature’ needs to be for the greatest number of people to be led to literature, exactly what books are appropriate at what levels –…
Cantonese e-discourse
While English remains the most dominant language used on the Internet, studies have primarily investigated computer-mediated interactions in English. Little linguistic research has, however, investigated how English and other languages interact online. Based on a 20,000-word corpus of private ICQ (‘I Seek You’) data, this paper analyses the online linguistic strategies and features of eighteen NNS university students from Hong Kong studying in Br…

Language and Creativity
Language and Creativity explores the creativity inherent in everyday spoken language.Creativity in language has conventionally been regarded as the preserve of institutionalised discourses such as canonical literature and the discourse of advertising. In Language and Creativity Ronald Carter analyses naturally-occurring spoken language to reveal that ordinary people in everyday speech contexts demonstrate creative capacities for sensitivity to th…

Current topics in TESOL are examined and future developments mapped out in an accessible but comprehensive way.

Size Isn't Everything
In recent papers and books, we have reported some of the findings of our research into the grammatical characteristics of the Cambridge and Nottingham Corpus of Discourse in English (CANCODE) (Carter, Hughes, & McCarthy, 1998; Carter & McCarthy, 1995, 1997a, 1997b; Hughes & McCarthy, 1998; McCarthy, 1998, 1999, 2001; McCarthy & Carter, 1994, 1995). CANCODE was established at the School of English Studies at University of Nottingham, in the United…
Sedimentary Processes and the Pandora Wreck, Great Barrier Reef, Australia
The hydrodynamic and sedimentary processes at the seabed are particularly relevant to wreck formation processes. In conjunction with archaeological work in 1997, seismic and sediment surveys were undertaken around the wreck site of the H.M.S. Pandora (1791), on the eastern edge of the Great Barrier Reef northern Australia. Further, wave and current meters were deployed at the wreck site for a one-month period in order to characterize the local hy…
The Routledge History of Literature in English
The Routledge History of Literature in English covers the main developments in the history of British and Irish literature from AD 600 to the present day. Accompanying language notes explore the interrelationships between language and literature, emphasising the growth of literary writing, its traditions, conventions and changing characteristics. Extensive quotations from poetry, prose and drama underpin the narrative. With a new chapter on novel…
Grammar and the Spoken Language
In this paper, we argue that language teaching which aims to foster speaking skills and natural spoken interaction should be based upon the grammar of spoken language, and not on grammars which mainly reflect written norms Using evidence from a mim-corpus of conversational English, we look at how four grammatical features which occur with noticeable frequency in the corpus are dealt with in currently popular pedagogical grammars Our investigation…
Vocabulary and Language Teaching (Applied Linguistics and Language Study Series)
Language, Literature and Critical Practice
Examines the major consequences of contemporary philosophical, cultural, political and sociological influences upon textual analysis, and the role of the language within it. This book should be of interest to students and teachers of literary criticism, language studies, linguistics and English studies
Is there a Core Vocabulary? Some Implications for Language Teaching
This article addresses some questions relating to the structural organization and function of aspects of the lexicon in English. It also explores possible pedagogic and other applications resulting from attempts to describe systematically a core vocabulary. The topic of ‘core’ vocabulary is, of course, not a new one, but further dimensions to the notion as well as a series of specific tests and the beginnings of new research are reported. Among t…
