    1 Metaphor, Genre and Recontextualization Elena Semino

    1 Metaphor, genre and recontextualization Elena Semino (Lancaster University), Alice Deignan (The University of Leeds) and Jeannette Littlemore (The University of Birmingham) ABSTRACT Earlier studies have demonstrated the dynamic properties of metaphor by showing how the meanings and functions of metaphorical expressions can flexibly change and develop within individual texts or discourse events (Cameron 2011). In this paper, we draw from Linell’s (2009) typology of ‘recontextualization’ in order to analyze the development of particular metaphors in three pairs of linked texts, each produced over a number of years, on the topics of medicine, politics and the parenting of children with special needs. We show how key metaphorical expressions from earlier texts or conversations are re-used by later writers, in different genres and registers, to convey new meanings and serve new functions. We account for these new meanings and functions by considering the relevant domain of activity and the differences between the original context of use and the context(s) in which the metaphor is re-used. Our study contributes, from a diachronic perspective, to the growing body of literature that recognizes the dynamic and context-bound nature of metaphorical language. Earlier studies have identified and discussed the dynamic properties of metaphor within individual texts and conversations. In particular, Cameron and other scholars have argued that the meanings of metaphorical expressions are inherently flexible, and emerge in different ways in different contexts of use. As a result, the same metaphorical expressions are sometimes re-used within the same text or discourse event with different meanings and functions (Cameron and Low 2004, Cameron and Gibbs 2008, Cameron 2011).

The manifold roots of critical discourse studies lie in rhetoric, text linguistics, anthropology, philosophy, social psychology, cognitive science, literary studies and sociolinguistics, as well as in applied linguistics and pragmatics. Teun van Dijk (2008) provides a broad overview of the field of discourse studies and iden- tifies the following developments: between the mid-1960s and the early 1970s, new, closely related disciplines emerged in the humanities and the social sciences. Despite their different disciplinary backgrounds and a great diversity of methods and objects of investigation, some parts of the new fields/para- digms/linguistic subdisciplines of semiotics, pragmatics, psycho- and sociolinguistics, ethnography of speaking, conversation analysis and discourse studies all dealt and continue to deal with discourse and have at least seven dimensions in common (see also Angermuller et al. 2014): •• An interest in the properties of ‘naturally occurring’ language use by real lan- guage users (instead of a study of abstract language systems and invented examples).

This study offers an insight into the ideologies constructed in the pro-eating-disorder online discourse by using micro and macro levels of critical discourse analysis (CDA) on 19 blogs written by the self-declared members of the community. Linguistic analysis of the pro-eating-disorder discourse has been largely under-represented and this study is the first to use a corpus-linguistics ap- proach to CDA in analysing the websites’ content. The results of the analysis show that the pro-eating-disorder community constructs the ideology of eating disorders as a life-style via demedicalised reference to the illness. The study also elaborates on the construction of the negative image of “an outsider” (any person not belonging to the community) as an element of self-determination. By using the corpus linguistic technique of keyness, main topics of the discourse are identi- fied, suggesting relevant relations between the discourse of measuring and will power and the underlying pro-eating-disorder ideologies.

The study its origins, to the academic for student, how it encloses phenomena with unlike theoritical backgrounds and methodological approaches. Key words : critical discourse analysis; Foucault; Habermas; Systemic Functional Grammar; Linguistic Criticism; cognition; corpus linguistics 1. Introduction In this research describes about heterogeneity of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), its control to entice and irritate, and its most thrilling characters and weaknesses, which have produced discussion and disagreement. More than two periods have approved from the study of extracts to the education of big corpora, from supposedly absorbed assortment to chance group of data. Its community insinuations fortified its development. Leave-taking meager instinct sideways and exploring the suggestion of thought in writings other than literary ones donated to its scientificity and aided widen its scope. CDA as problem-oriented community research, founded in community history, semiotics and linguistics; to learned methods that are also careful critical; to the oppositions raised in contradiction of CDA; and to new tendencies trying to challenge its limitations. The question of what should be assumed by critical is also addressed, with the goal of deciding fallacies related with this label. It is similarly significant to elucidate usually used terms, including writing, discourse and context as well as others that have a central character in CDA itself, in particular, ideology, power, dominance, prejudice and representation. Further, because CDA has its roots in written and linguistic analysis, address the question of why one particular theory of language, Halliday’s (1985) “Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG), has been widely adopted by CDA researchers.” Systemic Functional grammar is not only linguistic theory used and i remake on the linguistics methods that have been applied.

RUTH WODAK 10.1177/1461445606059566 LANCASTER UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT While reviewing relevant recent research, it becomes apparent that cognitive approaches have been rejected and excluded from Critical Discourse Analysis by many scholars out of often unjustified reasons. This article argues, in contrast, that studies in CDA would gain significantly through integrating insights from socio-cognitive theories into their framework. Examples from my own research into the comprehension and comprehensibility of news broadcasts, Internet discussion boards as well as into discourse and discrimination illustrate this position. However, I also argue that there are salient limits to cognitive theories which have to be taken into account, specifically when proposing social change via rational/cognitive insights. Examples from recent political debates on immigration and from the election campaign in the US in 2004 serve to emphasize these arguments.

    Gender, Ideology and Conceptual Metaphors: Women and the Source Domain of the Hunt

    ARTICLES Complutense Journal of English Studies ISSN: 2386-3935 https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/cjes.68355 Gender, Ideology and Conceptual Metaphors: Women and the Source Domain of the Hunt María D. López Maestre1 Abstract. As a cognitive process, metaphorical reasoning is inevitable, but not necessarily innocent or neutral. It is well known that the conceptual domains of love and sex have received substantial attention within cognitive linguistics. However, a source domain that merits further exploration from a gender ideology perspective is that of the hunt. For this reason, following an approach that links cognitive linguistics with critical discourse analysis this article examines the conceptualisation of love, seduction and the search for a partner/husband through hunting metaphors, focusing on the discursive representation of women and the hunt. In the texts studied the conceptual metaphors LOVE/SEDUCTION/THE SEARCH FOR A PARTNER OR HUSBAND IS A HUNT are activated through metaphorical linguistic expressions with terms such as hunt, chase, pursue, catch, capture, trap etc. Regarding ideology, metaphors are powerful transmitters of folk beliefs and dominant conceptions of femininity and masculinity. Gender values that show man as the privileged sex as well as sexist ideologies supportive of male dominance and female submissiveness have been found to underlie the texts under consideration. Keywords: conceptual metaphors, critical metaphor analysis, CDA, gender, ideology, hunt-based metaphors, love, seduction, the search for a partner/husband.

  • Two Internationally Distinguished English Language Scholars Tell the Fascinating, Improbable Saga of English in Time and Space

    Two Internationally Distinguished English Language Scholars Tell the Fascinating, Improbable Saga of English in Time and Space

    Two internationally distinguished English language scholars tell the fascinating, improbable saga of English in time and space. They trace the history of the lan- guage from its obscure beginnings over 1500 years ago as a collection of dialects spoken by marauding, illiterate tribes.
