Focusing on the analysis of verbal interaction, the book explores significant theoretical advancements in discourse description across its initial chapters. The latter sections apply these findings to practical contexts, including second-language teaching, first-language acquisition, and literary text analysis, showcasing the relevance and application of discourse analysis in various fields.
Focusing on the dynamics of immigration and international commerce, the book examines the practice of translating into a second language, challenging the traditional belief that translators should only work in their mother tongue. It offers a comprehensive exploration of this phenomenon, appealing to applied linguists, translators, and educators in ESOL who work with advanced students. This study provides valuable insights into the complexities and implications of second-language translation in a postcolonial context.
Focusing on the integration of language and literature, this practical guide offers strategies for educators to enhance their teaching methods. It emphasizes the benefits of viewing these subjects as interconnected rather than separate, providing resources and approaches that foster a more cohesive learning experience in the classroom.
In this important study, Carl James reviews the role that contrastive analysis can play in understanding and solving problems in second or foreign language learning and teaching. Using both psycholinguistic and linguistic analysis, he establishes a sound theoretical basis for CA before going on to illustrate its contribution to the study of linguistic universals, bilingualism, and language pedagogy. The book offers a range of examples to support its arguments, enabling readers to grasp the principles and then to pursue their own work in this area.Contrastive Analysis presents a successful theoretical and practical case for the value of CA as a research tool, both for those studying applied linguistics and for teachers needing to adjust their teaching to the state of knowledge of their students.
Theory and Practice
The author attempts to arrange the translation process and set it within a systemic model of language. The book is divided into three parts, namely model, meaning and memory, assessing how logical relationships are organized and mapped onto the syntactic systems of a language. Bell firstly defines translation for the purposes of his book and argues that a major specification for the successful organization of translation into a manageable system is translator competence. Other books in this series include An Introduction to Second Language Acquisition Research, The Classroom and the Language Learner and Bilingualism in Education.
Focusing on communication strategies, the book delves into how individuals express themselves and comprehend others in various linguistic contexts. It particularly highlights the techniques employed by non-native speakers to navigate the challenges of interacting with both native and fellow non-native speakers. By exploring these strategies, the work sheds light on the complexities of language use and understanding in diverse communication scenarios.
