  • (University College London) the Subjunctive Conundrum Plenary II, Thursday, 9:00 – 10:00, Room 1010
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Huddersfield Repository ABSTRACTS OF TALKS AND WORKSHOP PAPERS Bas Aarts (University College London) The subjunctive conundrum Plenary II, Thursday, 9:00 – 10:00, Room 1010 The view espoused in Palmer (1987: 46) that “the notion of a subjunctive mood is a simple transfer from Latin and has no place in English grammar” is generally accepted in most modern descriptive frameworks. But the consequences of accepting such a view have not been sufficiently appreciated in the literature. In this paper I will discuss a number of approaches to the English subjunctive, and I will argue that none of them deals adequately with the fallout of denying the existence of an inflectional subjunctive in English. I will propose that English subjunctive clauses can be described by making reference to the notion of Subsective Gradience (Aarts 2007), and that the grammar of English should recognise a ‘subjunctive clause type’, along with declaratives, interrogatives, imperatives and exclamatives.

Elsbieta Adamczyk (University of Poznan) On morphological restructuring in the early English nominal system: the fate of Old English consonantal inflection Wednesday, 12:00 – 12:30, Room 1016 The paper investigates the morphological shape of the early English nominal inflection, focusing on the developments which contributed to its later restructuring. A prominent feature of the early English inflection was an evident tendency, revealed by nouns considered minor (unproductive) to adopt the inflectional endings of the productive types. This marked inclination of some nouns can be particularly well seen in consonantal stems, such as r-stems (deriving from PIE *-es/-os stems).

The chairing Institute is The Meertens Institute (Department of Language Variation). The theme of this conference is Micro and Macro Connections. The conference will be held at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU). Sociolinguistics is about the relationship between language and society. By proposing Micro and Macro connec- tions as the conference's theme, we want to invite researchers who generate insights into the interplay between language and society by examining the ways social structure is oriented to and affected by verbal practices. Language does not just reflect social facts. The connections between language and social organization are multi- layered, dynamic and reflexive and they are accomplished at many different levels of language use.

  • Corpus Linguistics 2013: Call for Papers
    Corpus Linguistics 2013: Call for Papers The seventh international Corpus Linguistics conference (CL2013) will be held at Lancaster University from Tuesday 23rd July 2013 to Friday 26th July 2013. The main conference will be preceded by a workshop day on Monday 22nd July. The goals of the conference are as follows. • To gather together current and developing research in the study and application of corpus linguistics; • To push the field forwards by promoting dialogue among the many different users of corpora across interconnected sub-disciplines of linguistics – be they descriptive, theoretical, applied or computational; • To explore new challenges both within corpus linguistics, and in the extension of corpus approaches to new fields of study. With these goals in mind, we invite contributions on as broad and inclusive a basis as possible. The areas in which we particularly welcome submissions include but are not limited to: • Critical explorations of existing measures and methods in corpus linguistics; • New methods and techniques in corpus development, annotation and analysis; • Corpus approaches to the study of new media; • New tools and techniques developed in corpus-based computational linguistics; • The application of corpus approaches in the social sciences and humanities; • The extension of corpus linguistics to an ever-wider range of (non-English) languages; • The interface between corpus and theory; • The use of corpora in discourse analysis; • The use of corpora in second language acquisition studies and language pedagogy. The following speakers have accepted our invitation to give plenary lectures at CL2013: • Karin Aijmer • Guy Cook • Michael Hoey • Ute Römer With this announcement, we issue our main Call for Papers, and provide notice of workshops being held on Monday 22nd July.

  • Grammatological Studies Writing and Its Relation to Speech
    RUUL Reports from Uppsala University Linguistics #29 — 1996 (digital format 2019 with minor corrections) John Sören Pettersson Grammatological Studies Writing and its Relation to Speech Dissertation for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics at Uppsala University 1996 ABSTRACT Petterson, J. S. I 996. Grammatological Studies: Writing and its Relation to Speech. Reports from Uppsala University, Department of Linguistics RUUL #29. 228 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-506-1170-4. This work addresses the problem of how writing is related to speech and how our notions of language are related to writing principles such as ‘the alphabetic principle’. The target of the study is the concept of ‘phonography’ (sound-writing, sometimes called ‘glottography’). This has been used in several theoretical works on writing, often with the assumption that the existence of phonographic systems somehow proves that the purpose of writing is to represent speech. From a functional approach, that is, from a theoretical base where language (of whatever modality) is seen as crucially dependent on actual communicative events, the notion that writing is representational in nature is criticised. Three areas are investigated: 1. the origin of the phono+graphic type of writing (also treated are the origin of spoken language and the medium-dependency of language); 2. the relation between alphabetic writing and notions concerning the structure of language in general and of particular languages; 3. the relationship between phonographic methods of reading old scripts and the prevailing phonocentrism. In all three areas it is found that the possibility of indicating pronunciation of written texts by phonographic means has been overinterpretated in favour of the prevalent representational view.

  • 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.

    {Read} {PDF EPUB} ~download Style in Fiction A Linguistic Introduction to English Fictional Prose by Geoffrey N. Leech ISBN 13: 9780582291034. Style in Fiction: A Linguistic Introduction to English Fictional Prose (English Language Series, 13) Leech, Geoffrey N. ; Short, Mick. This specific ISBN edition is currently not available. Describes the ways in which the techniques of linguistic analysis and literary criticism can be combined, and illuminated, through the linguistic study of literary style, and draws on the prose fiction of the last 150 years to demonstrate the approach. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. ‘Stylistics’ is the study of language in the service of literary ends, and in Style in Fiction , Geoffrey Leech and Mick Short demonstrate how stylistic analysis can be applied to novels and stories. Writing for both students of English language and English literature, they show the practical ways in which linguistic analysis and literary appreciation can be combined, and illuminated, through the study of literary style. Drawing mainly on major works of fiction of the last 150 years, their practical and insightful examination of style through texts and extracts leads to a deeper understanding of how prose writers achieve their effects through language. Since its first publication in 1981, Style in Fiction has established itself as a key textbook in its field, selling nearly 30,000 copies. Now, in this revised edition, the authors have added substantial new material, including two completely new concluding chapters. These provide an extensive, up-to-date survey of developments in the field over the past 25 years, and apply the methods presented in earlier chapters to an analysis of an entire short story.
