    Motion and conflicted self metaphors in Sylvia Plath’s ‘Smith Journal’

    In: Metaphor and the Social World, John Benjamins Publishing Company, Vol. 1, No. 1 ( 2011-8-3), p. 7-25
    Abstract: This paper considers how mental states can be conveyed by metaphorical expressions in texts of a personal nature. Figurative language is understood to play an important role in the expression of such complex nuanced phenomena (Lakoff & Johnson, 1999; Kövecses, 2000; Gibbs, Leggit & Turner, 2002). This study focuses on two main groups of metaphors, linked to mental states, in the Smith Journal of “The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath”. ‘Mental state’ here refers to various aspects of cognitive functioning, but with a focus on mental states of affect — mental states that are intrinsically valenced (Ortony & Turner, 1990). Specifically, this paper focuses on metaphors of MOTION and SPLIT SELF. Both manual intensive analyses and automated corpus methodologies are employed in the investigation: Wmatrix (Rayson, 2009) is used to explore relevant expressions, in order to obtain a comprehensive understanding of metaphor groups. Relevant expressions are identified by an in-depth manual analysis of sample journal entries. The MIP procedure (Pragglejaz, 2007) is used for metaphor identification, and interpretations draw on research in psychology. Metaphors of mental states are analyzed in terms of their implications for conveying various aspects of mental states, such as valence and intensity.

    Clearing the air : Applied linguistic perspectives on aviation communication
    John Benjamins Publishing Company ; 2009
    In:  Australian Review of Applied Linguistics Vol. 32, No. 3 ( 2009-1-1), p. 21.1-21.11

    In: Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, John Benjamins Publishing Company, Vol. 32, No. 3 ( 2009-1-1), p. 21.1-21.11
    Abstract: As a result of investigations showing that communication problems can be a significant contributing factor to major aviation accidents, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has established a set of Language Proficiency Requirements. All pilots and air traffic controllers engaged in international aviation must be certified by their national civil aviation authorities as meeting the requirements by March 2011. This has created a demand for tests designed to assess the speaking and listening skills of aviation personnel, and language testers have become involved as developers and evaluators of the various assessment instruments. The present paper gives an overview of the issues and introduces the themes discussed by the other contributors to this special issue of the journal, covering both the linguistic nature of aviation communication and more practical considerations in test design.

    Ideological and explanatory uses of the COVID-19 as a war metaphor in science
    John Benjamins Publishing Company ; 2022
    In:  Review of Cognitive Linguistics Vol. 20, No. 2 ( 2022-12-8), p. 412-437
    Details
    In: Review of Cognitive Linguistics, John Benjamins Publishing Company, Vol. 20, No. 2 ( 2022-12-8), p. 412-437
    Abstract: This paper proposes to investigate the varying implications of the war metaphor in scientific publications discussing the COVID-19 pandemic. The corpus under study is composed of articles retrieved from the international scientific journal Nature , the weekly magazine New Scientist , and the international agency World Health Organisation . With a focus on three main characteristics of the pandemic – body health, medical solutions, and global impact of the virus – the present study asks to what extent the use of the war metaphor can vary to offer different viewpoints on the pandemic. The particular view on the virus – through metaphorical use – depends on the readers each publication targets, the pressure to find solutions, the editorial requirements, and the aim of the publication. We conclude that the war metaphor may not systematically be associated with disputable interpretations (as reported in literature), it also serves an explanatory function.

    Data transparency and citation in the journal Gesture

    In: Gesture, John Benjamins Publishing Company, Vol. 18, No. 1 ( 2019-12-31), p. 83-109
    Abstract: Data is central to scholarly research, but the nature and location of data used is often under-reported in research publications. Greater transparency and citation of data have positive effects for the culture of research. This article presents the results of a survey of data citation in six years of articles published in the journal Gesture (12.1–17.2). Gesture researchers draw on a broad range of data types, but the source and location of data are often not disclosed in publications. There is also still a strong research focus on only a small range of the world’s languages and their linguistic diversity. Published papers rarely cite back to the primary data, unless it is already published. We discuss both the implications of these findings and the ways that scholars in the field of gesture studies can build a positive culture around open data.

    Applied linguistics research in Australia as represented through ARAL : Changing diet or smorgasbord?
    John Benjamins Publishing Company ; 2017
    In:  Australian Review of Applied Linguistics Vol. 40, No. 3 ( 2017-12-31), p. 311-338

    In: Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, John Benjamins Publishing Company, Vol. 40, No. 3 ( 2017-12-31), p. 311-338
    Abstract: From its inception in 1977 until its last year of publication by an Australian publisher in 2015, the Australian Review of Applied Linguistics featured over 700 articles related to applied linguistics. This publication history provides a unique resource for tracing the scope and change of the applied linguistics landscape in Australia over the last four decades. While the journal design and format have naturally undergone some changes in this time, in this paper we consider the nature of the articles themselves, whether there have been changes in coverage or emphasis, and what this can tell us about the history of and the changes in applied linguistics in Australia. Our analysis of the articles focuses in particular on two independent dimensions – the sub-field of applied linguistics and the particular language under focus in each article – and the changes in frequencies of each of these over time.

    Finding the arc : A story about a search for narratives

    In: Narrative Inquiry, John Benjamins Publishing Company, Vol. 22, No. 2 ( 2012-12-31), p. 366-383
    Abstract: Powerful narratives exist about the nature, practice and validity of narrative inquiry. It is storied, for example, as complex, time-consuming and unappreciated by the conservative sociology academe. As a new PhD candidate I planned to undertake a straight thematic analysis. However, it became evident that an alternative approach was required. This paper tells a story about my struggle to comprehend narrative analysis and find the arc of my participant’s stories. Because writing ‘my sexual story’ provided a particular turning point in this journey I also recount this here, in addition to an outline of the analytical framework I developed to interpret my data. I argue that narrative analysis is not easily learned through traditional scholarship: texts, journal articles, supervisors and conferences. Rather, a lingering, challenging — but ultimately highly rewarding journey may be required. It is my hope that this paper will provide insight and assistance to the novice narrative researcher.

    In search of representativity in specialised corpora : Categorisation through collocation
    John Benjamins Publishing Company ; 2002
    In:  International Journal of Corpus Linguistics Vol. 7, No. 1 ( 2002-11-8), p. 43-64
    Details
    In: International Journal of Corpus Linguistics, John Benjamins Publishing Company, Vol. 7, No. 1 ( 2002-11-8), p. 43-64
    Abstract: In large reference corpora representativeness is attempted through carefully selected sampling and sheer size. The situation is different with special language corpora in that their very nature limits them in size. Their representativity is measured by reference to external selection criteria, generally following bibliographic classifications, which tend to be subjective. In order to overcome subjectivity in specialised corpora, a corpus-directed system of internal selection using lexical criteria is proposed. The aim is not to create rigid boundaries but to see clearly what is actually present in the corpus. The method adopted is demonstrated on a corpus consisting of research articles from specialised journals and conference proceedings in the field of plant biology. Restricted collocational networks are used to isolate prototypical groupings within the corpus. It is shown that audience is an important factor in strong and weak prototypical groupings in theme and domain specific corpora. Articles addressing domain specialists through a journal tend to be more central than those presented to a theme-specific discourse community through conference proceedings.

    English as an international language : Challenges and possibilities
    John Benjamins Publishing Company ; 2008

    In: Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, John Benjamins Publishing Company, Vol. 31, No. 3 ( 2008-1-1), p. 28.1-28.16
    Abstract: In recent years, there has been a rapid evolution in the demographics of English speaking communities and individuals around the world, with an unprecedented growth in the number of users and learners of English. In the majority of cases, these learners and users are those who would traditionally have been classified as “non-native” speakers. This trend towards non-native speakers far outweighing native speakers in number is projected to pick up speed. The evolving nature of English in this context of its globalisation has called for a reassessment of a number of key dimensions in applied linguistic studies of English. Scholarly debates have surfaced about various political issues including the validity of the old distinction between “native” and “nonnative” speakers, what form English should – or is likely to – take as a language of international/intercultural communication (or lingua franca), and which groups are empowered and which ones disadvantaged by the accelerating prominence of English. Collectively, the essays in this issue of the journal engage with these issues in order to take the debate up to the next level. This article is a position paper which offers to open up the forum and to expand on some of some of these fundamental questions.

    In: Target, John Benjamins Publishing Company, Vol. 20, No. 2 ( 2008-11-4), p. 297-332
    Abstract: This paper presents the results of a study on research on spoken and signed language community interpreting (CI) in German-speaking countries (Austria, Germany, German-speaking regions of Switzerland). A set of different scientometric, network analytical and text linguistic (keyword analysis, title word analysis, co-occurrence analysis) methodological tools is used to investigate this specific field of research. The paper is a follow-up to a first brief introductory paper on that topic ( Grbić and Pöllabauer 2006a ) and presents an in-depth analysis of the subject. The corpus of the study includes 595 publications on research into spoken and signed CI in German-speaking countries, which were published between 1979 and 2006. It was compiled on the basis of a comprehensive search of the literature. The study focuses, among other aspects, on the types of documents published in that field of research (with a specific focus on journal articles, collective volumes, papers in collective volumes, graduation and doctoral theses) and the nature of the publications, the overall growth rates of publications on that field, the most common languages of publication, the disciplinary affiliation of the authors, the agents (people, institutions) involved in researching CI as well as the networks of authors and co-authorships, and the topics touched upon in research on CI and the most common co-occurrences of topics.
