Comparative Studies in Australian and New Zealand English Grammar and Beyond

This anthology brings together fresh corpus-based research by international scholars. It contrasts southern and northern hemisphere usage on variable elements of morphology and syntax. The nineteen invited papers include topics such as irregular verb parts, pronouns, modal and quasimodal verbs, the perfect tense, the progressive aspect, and mandative subjunctives.


Lexicogrammatical elements are discussed: light verbs (e.g. have a look), informal quantifiers (e.g. heaps of), no-collocations, concord with government and other group nouns, alternative verb complementation (as with help, prevent), zero complementizers and connective adverbs (e.g. however). Selected information-structuring devices are analyzed, e.g. there is/are, like as a discourse marker, final but as a turn-taking device, and swearwords.



Australian and New Zealand use of hypocoristics and changes in gendered expressions are also analyzed. The two varieties pattern together in some cases, in others they diverge: Australian English is usually more committed to colloquial variants in speech and writing. The book demonstrates linguistic endonormativity in these two southern hemisphere Englishes.

MACMILLAN The Developing Language Learner An Introduction to Exploratory Practice (Research and Practice in Applied Linguistics)

If we want to treat learners as practitioners of learning, alongside teachers as practitioners of teaching, and therefore capable of reaping the developmental benefits of practitioner research, how can we best proceed?
 
For Allwright and Hanks the answer lies in Exploratory Practice – an inclusive form of practitioner research developed largely in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and in Lancaster, England, that enables both learners and teachers to develop their own understandings of their learning and teaching lives.
 
After arguing that developments in the field of applied linguistics have fallen short of establishing such a perspective on learners, and reviewing current research models, the authors propose seven principles for a truly inclusive extension of practitioner research – Exploratory Practice.

MACMILLAN Researching Communication Disorders (Research and Practice in Applied Linguistics)

An exploration of the applications of linguistics (including both psycholinguistic and sociolinguistics perspectives) to clinical research in the field of communication disorders. This will interest graduate and postgraduate speech-language pathologists and applied linguists as well as psychologists and neuropsychologists.
 
 
One in seven people will experience a communication disorder at some point in their lives. There is an urgent and ongoing need to understand more about the nature of communication disorders and their effects on the everyday lives of children and adults whose lives are affected by these difficulties, as well as those directly or indirectly affected as a family member, friend or professional. Research in this area seeks to develop an evidence base in relation to diagnosis, prognosis, intervention, clients’ perspectives, and cost effectiveness.
 
 
Researching Communication Disorders involves a range of disciplines including speech-language pathology, linguistics and psychology. This book provides an interdisciplinary description of the theoretical frameworks in the field of communication disorders and an overview of the main current methodological approaches. Numerous case examples from the published research literature provide the reader with an understanding of the practicalities of researching in this field. Additionally, the book provides the beginning researcher with examples of key areas in which further research is needed.


MACMILLAN Intercultural Interaction A Multidisciplinary Approach to Intercultural Communication (Research and Practice in Applied Linguistics)

Written in a highly accessible style and in four parts, this book provides rapid and authoritative access to current ideas and practice in intercultural communication.
 
 
It draws on concepts and findings from a range of different disciplines and uses authentic examples of intercultural interaction to illustrate points.
