Patterns and Meanings
Author: Alan Partington
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9789027222701
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
Patterns and Meanings consists of case studies which make use of corpora and concordance technology. Each case study elaborates a problem area, makes reference to both the descriptive and applied literature thus far, and then suggests ways of exploiting corpus data to shed light on the problem. Language phenomena investigated include word sense, phraseology and syntax, metaphor and creative use, text reference, idiom, and translation. Emphasis is given to information that usually cannot be found in dictionaries, grammars, language textbooks or other resources, but which the study of corpus data makes available. This work is particularly important not only for its language description insights, but also for pedagogical application. Further useful suggestions are included on setting up a medium-sized corpus on a personal computer.

Pages : 186
Book Description
It was unreal. It was seismic. Off the Richter Scale. It was Pandora's Box. And like Pandora, she could only deal in hope. She had landed on the square marked 'GO'. The mind game was running smoothly now. Visualization strong. Objective Clear. Like a Commando on a hostile mission, she was about to penetrate deep within enemy potential territory, like the labyrinth from ancient Greek mythology. And at its centre, lay the Minotaur of potential discovery. The lethal dose sped towards the heart. Seconds later, the Unit lights came on again and the monitor alarm began to sound. The trace showed a flat line. It was complete cardiac standstill.
