Book Synopsis Marking Discourse Coherence and Social-Interpersonal Meaning by : Jung-ran Park
Download or read book Marking Discourse Coherence and Social-Interpersonal Meaning written by Jung-ran Park. This book was released on 2009-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through cross-cultural and cross-linguistic perspectives, this book uncovers unexplored areas of the semantic shifts and functional developments of discourse-pragmatic markers by examining historical and contemporary language usage of Korean and other languages. The discourse-pragmatic markers examined in this book evince multifaceted and multifunctional characteristics. On the textual level discourse-pragmatic markers build intra-textual coherence and sequential coordination; on the interpersonal level they index the speaker s epistemic and interpersonal stances in relation to interlocutors and upcoming discourse. The semantic shifts engendered through the metaphoric and metonymic processes and functional development of these markers manifest unidirectionality and regularity in semantic change. This book should be especially useful to researchers as well as graduate and advanced undergraduate students in disciplines dealing with language and culture in general, particularly linguistics and communications. Anyone interested in online social interaction and computer mediated communication across cultures will find valuable insights in this volume.

Book Synopsis The Pragmatics of Discourse Coherence by : Helmut Gruber
Download or read book The Pragmatics of Discourse Coherence written by Helmut Gruber. This book was released on 2014-11-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past four decades, discourse coherence has been studied from linguistic, psycholinguistic, computational, and applied perspectives. This volume identifies current issues and under-researched topics in the pragmatics of discourse coherence. Nine studies from various disciplines address the realization and signalling of coherence relations in various genres and languages, their acquisition and use by first- and second-language learners and university students, the relationship between coherence relations and genre-specific discourse structure, and extensions of the coherence paradigm to multimodal discourse and visual art. This collection will be of interest to researchers from linguistics, applied linguistics, psychology, communication, and multimodal semiotics.

Book Synopsis Making Sense of Discourse. On Discourse Segmentation and the Linguistic Marking of Coherence Relations by : Jet Hoek
Download or read book Making Sense of Discourse. On Discourse Segmentation and the Linguistic Marking of Coherence Relations written by Jet Hoek. This book was released on 2018. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When people read or listen to a discourse, they will try to make sense of it. To fully understand a discourse, it is essential not only to know the meaning of each individual clause, but also to figure out how all clauses are related to each other. If all goes well, language users end up with an accurate representation of the discourse. An important aspect of building a mental representation of a discourse is inferring coherence relations between discourse segments. When inferring coherence relations, language users have to deduce whether two or more chunks of text constitute, for instance, a cause-consequence relation, a rule and an exception, alternatives, etc. Coherence relations can be explicitly marked by a connective (e.g., because, although) or a cue phrase (e.g., except for the fact that, by comparison), but this need not be the case; in many instances, coherence relations have to be established without the instructions connectives provide or, in the case of underspecified connectives, with only limited instructions.00This dissertation investigates both discourse segmentation and the linguistic marking of coherence relations. Using a combination of theoretical exploration, parallel corpus studies, and experimental methods, it provides new insights into how and why coherence relations are explicitly signaled and between which parts of a text people infer coherence relations.In addition, it contributes toward refining discourse segmentation and annotation guidelines, both of which are important methodological tools in the research of discourse coherence.0.
