  • 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. They show how the geographical spread of the language in its increasing diversity has made English into an international language of unprecedented range and variety. They look at the present state of English as a global language and the problems, pressures and uncertainties of its future. They argue that, in spite of the amazing variety and plurality of English, it remains a single language. English – One Tongue, Many Voices tells its story with the help of maps, diagrams and pictures. The text is interspersed with panels focusing on particular topics of interest, and is followed by notes that give the sources of information, as well as detailed references and indexes. A book for students and their teachers, and for anyone who wants a broad and authoritative introduction to the phenomenon of English worldwide. Jan Svartvik, the distinguished Scandinavian scholar of English language, is now Emeritus Professor at the University of Lund, Sweden. He is co-author of Engelsk universitetsgrammatik (with Olof Sager, 1977) and Handbok i engelska (with Rikard Svartvik, 2001), and author, co-author or editor of some 35 books and 75 papers or articles on varied aspects of English linguistics, contrastive grammar and nautical terminology. He is a Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, The Royal Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities and Academia Europaea.

  • In Conversation with Geoffrey Leech - History Of
    Lancaster University | In conversation with Geoffrey Leech - history of OK. It's an enormous pleasure to introduce you to Professor Geoffrey Leech, professor emeritus in the Department of Linguistics and English Language here at Lancaster University, and a long-standing corpus linguist. When did you first encounter corpora, Geoff? It was way back in the '60s, actually. At that time I was in University College London. OK. So Bloomsbury. Bloomsbury, actually. And that is where corpora-- can I use that word, "corpora"? Yes. Plural for corpus. Yes, the plural, corpora. OK. That was in the-- by the way, I'm not in favor of corpora. It's just it's caught on. I know. It's caught on. So this sort of non-plural that's caught on and we can't escape from it now. I'm afraid so. So anyway, in those days, no corpus existed in the modern sense at all. But my senior colleague-- I can't call him my supervisor because he wasn't-- was Randolph Quirk. OK. That would be Lord Quirk? Now he's Lord Quirk. That's right. And he's still going strong at the age of 93, I think it is. Anyway in those days, of course, he was a youngish, bright and bushy tailed professor of about 50 I think. And so one of his great projects that he started at UCL was to build a corpus of modern English. Where did he get the idea from? I don't really know. It was in the air because if you go back a few years before 1960s, that was the era of American structuralism.

  • Style in Fiction Revisited: the Beginning of Great Expectations Geoffrey Leech Lancaster University, UK
    1 Style in Fiction Revisited: the Beginning of Great Expectations Geoffrey Leech Lancaster University, UK 1. Style in Fiction Revisited In the early 1980s, which saw the publication of SIF (our abbreviation for Style in Fiction: An Introduction to English Fictional Prose), the study of fictional prose style using the methods of linguistics was an immature field of research. In those days, with notable exceptions such as Fowler’s Linguistics and the Novel (1977), most research on stylistics focused on poetry. Now, twenty-five years later, the situation has changed, and the linguistic analysis of prose fiction has reached considerable maturity (see Emmott, Fludernik Fictions, Hardy, Hoover, Hori, Simpson, Stockwell Science Fiction, Toolan Stylistics, Narrative, and Verdonk and Weber). Partly this has been due to a shift in the centre of gravity of linguistic research – away from a core of syntax, phonology, lexicology, semantics, and towards wide-ranging interdisciplinary studies of text and discourse. Neighbouring and overlapping sub-disciplines such as cognitive science, pragmatics and discourse analysis (including critical discourse analysis) have featured in this expansion of interest. For example, Carter and Simpson argued for discourse-analysis- oriented approach and Sell for a pragmatics-oriented approach to the language of literature. On the other hand, the ability to explore whole works of literature from a linguistic viewpoint, rather than to confine attention to short gobbets and passages, has been enhanced through the methods of corpus linguistics, harnessing the power of the computer. These broader perspectives on style were already opening up when SIF was written (1981), as can be noted from its chapters with such titles as “Mind style”, “The rhetoric of text”, and “Discourse and discourse situation”.

  • Growth and Decline: How Grammar Has Been Changing in Recent English
    Growth and Decline: How Grammar Has Been Changing in Recent English Geoffrey Leech Lancaster University [email protected] Abstract Grammatical change, as opposed to (for example) phonetic or lexical change, is generally felt to be a slow process, imperceptible to the native speaker. There is some truth in this judgement, and yet changes in English grammatical usage during the recent past have been considerable. The evidence for this comes from comparable corpora or subcorpora systematically sampled from the language at regular intervals of time. It has now become possible to • observe changes in progress in written English • compare rates of change from one genre to another • compare rates of change across the two regional varieties: American English (AmE) and British English (BrE) 1. The Brown Family of Corpora The corpora I shall refer to, in demonstrating this, are known collectively as the Brown family of corpora. The name derives from the Brown Corpus, the earliest electronic corpus of the English language, collected at Brown University 1962-4, and since then widely distributed among researchers, teachers and students. The Brown Corpus consists of just over a million words, and is subdivided into 500 written (printed) text samples of approximately 2000 words each. Alongside the Brown Corpus, the Lancaster-Oslo-Bergen corpus was created as a British counterpart, to be as precisely comparable to the Brown Corpus as possible. It consists, like Brown, of 500 samples of written English, constructed according to the same corpus design, with subdivision into 15 genres, within which individual texts and groups of texts are matched.

  • GEOFFREY NEIL LEECH Geoffrey Neil Leech 1936–2014
    GEOFFREY NEIL LEECH Geoffrey Neil Leech 1936–2014 GEOFFREY LEECH (ALWAYS CALLED Geoff by colleagues and students) made major contributions to a broad range of topics in language research: the linguistic study of literature, the development of semantics and pragmat- ics, description of the grammar of English and the development of cor- pora, large computer-readable databases of language. Linguists reviewing his life tend naturally to focus on the areas closest to their own specialisms, and it can be difficult to get a sense of the full range of his work, especially since he never really dropped one of these topics when he focused on another. He left a detailed, engaging and reflective ‘academic auto- biography’ for a collection compiled for The Philological Society.1 I will draw on this autobiography to trace his career (all quotations from Leech without footnotes are from this source), but will note later the problems it presents for a biographer, especially because of his inveterate modesty. Early years and University College London Leech was born on 16 January 1936, in Gloucester. His parents were Richard and Dorothy Leech, and he had an older brother, Martin. The family moved to nearby Tewkesbury when his father, a bank clerk, got a job as a bank manager. Geoff went to Tewkesbury Grammar School; he 1 K. Brown and V. Law (eds.), Linguistics in Britain: Personal Histories (Oxford, 2002), 155–69. I have also drawn on his unpublished brief history of the Department of Linguistics at Lancaster: G.

This article reports on a study designed to test the hypothesis that conversational grammar is “feminine grammar” in the sense that women’s conversational language is more adapted to the conversational situation than men’s.
