The type of trajector is important in that those intrinsically related to motion (e.g. roads) allow for manner of motion verbs such as “sneak”, “climb” or “plunge”, whereas trajectors not associated with motion (e.g. cables) are seldom predicated by manner verbs (Matlock, 2004). keywords: architects; architecture; building; caballero; focus; form; ibérica; instances; language; metaphor; motion; motion verbs; nouns; path; reviews; space; use; verbs cache: iberica-146.pdf plain text: iberica-146.txt item: #42 of 398 id: iberica-147 author: Cortés de los Ríos, María Enriqueta; Felices Lago, Angel Miguel title: A cognitive-axiological approach to the chairman’s letter of the leading civil aircraft manufacturers date: 2017-01-02 words: 9363 flesch: 50 summary: Most previous contributions highlight and investigate the way in which these letters address the target audience, how corporate values and ethical concerns are conveyed to the reader or how the performance targets are reached by the company during the yearly period (Garzone, 2004; Nickerson & De Groot, 2005).

Previous research has already concentrated on a limited number of fashion blogs, but mostly from a completely different angle from the enterprise outlined in this paper: for instance, Ruiz Molina (2012) analysed the impact of blogs on consumer-centred companies and fashion journalism (also the main focus of Rocamora, 2012) by adopting a semiotic framework; Riera and Figueras Maz (2012) examined whether fashion blogs attempt to perpetuate the same idealised beauty standard as the one that is promoted in most fashion magazines, something which did not prove to hold true for all of the sub-categories of blogs (e.g. “ego-blogs”) equally; along these lines, Rocamora (2011) considered the process of identity construction and representation of femininity in this virtual space; and, more recently, Martínez Navarro and de Garcillán López-Rúa (2016) explored how the emergence and popularisation of this electronic medium has reshaped the practices of consumers through the conduction of interviews and group meetings with informants. keywords: blogs; corpora; corpus; english; fashion; language; posts; purposes; research; spanish; words cache: iberica-155.pdf plain text: iberica-155.txt item: #50 of 398 id: iberica-156 author: Parodi Sweis, Giovanni; Julio, Cristóbal title: More than words: Contending semiotic systems and the role of disciplinary knowledge in specialized text comprehension date: 2017-01-02 words: 11289 flesch: 51 summary: There is yet a need of more empirical work to examine text comprehension considering just one semiotic system (de Vega, Graesser & Glenberg, 2008; Schüler et al., 2015).

If, according to Lakoff and Johnson, “[t]he essence of metaphor is understanding and experiencing one kind of thing in terms of another” (1980: 5), then it is possible to reason, as Forceville (2009a) does, that if verbal metaphors are “manifestations” rather than “reduplications” of thought, one of these manifestations may be non-verbal or pictorial, which in turn should contribute to the completeness of a theory of metaphor. keywords: analysis; black; cognitive; container; cover; cued; currency; domain; economist; euro crisis; euro ibérica; euro symbol; eurozone crisis; figure; forceville; greece; ibérica; image; liquid; magazine; metaphor; metonymy; movement; multimodal; multimodal metaphor; schemas; silaški; source; spain; verbal; verticality; visual; đurović cache: iberica-160.pdf plain text: iberica-160.txt item: #55 of 398 id: iberica-161 author: Laso, Natalia Judith; John, Suganthi title: The pedagogical benefits of a lexical database (SciE-Lex) to assist the production of publishable biomedical texts by EAL writers date: 2017-01-02 words: 11734 flesch: 51 summary: Workshop 1 The first part of the workshop opened with a discussion on the nature of scientific discourse and the unique characteristics of a journal article (how it is different from other types of research writing, such as thesis writing, which, as doctoral researchers, the participants were familiar with).

ISBN: 978-0-521-19759-5 date: 2015-01-02 words: 1400 flesch: 37 summary: With it, Ken Hyland coherently follows the trail of his previous work, in particular that of Disciplinary Discourses (2004), whose final chapters constitute his present point of departure, and of those articles explaining the tension between positioning (authorial stance and visibility) and “proximity” (the conformity and “engagement” with communal constraints and expectations) to take a broad view of academic identity through a constructivist approach. Disciplinary Identities, suffice it to say, is not only justified but also welcome because of three very strong points: first, its conjugation of shared knowledge and new findings – the latter regarding hardly explored representational genres such as academic bios, theses acknowledgments, prize applications and academic homepages; second, its eclecticism, both theoretical and methodological, which enriches the current landscape of research into academic interpersonality and provides us with a versatile arsenal of tools; and third, an ample conceptual coverage leading to suggestive directions for further studies. keywords: book; chapter; hyland; iberica; identity cache: iberica-210.pdf plain text: iberica-210.txt item: #88 of 398 id: iberica-211 author: Piqué Noguera, Carmen title: Narratives in Academic and Professional Genres Maurizio Gotti, Carmen Sancho Guinda (eds).

Language policies based on enhancing bi-literacy and trilingualism amongst higher education students have been a source of controversy amongst students and staff at the Chinese university of Hong Kong, mainly due to the expansion of EMI courses and the unsatisfactory situation of local Cantonese-speaking students. keywords: emi; english; language; students cache: iberica-212.pdf plain text: iberica-212.txt item: #90 of 398 id: iberica-213 author: Mur Dueñas, María Pilar title: Supporting Research Writing.

The third finding is linked up with one of the most important problems in blend comprehension, the problem emerging at a phonological level, since phonological properties are extremely relevant in blending and the wrong identification of blend source words results in semantic and conceptual incomprehension. keywords: blending; blends; conceptual; economics; english; ibérica; lehrer; meaning; millionaire; novel; process; source; speakers; students; word cache: iberica-284.pdf plain text: iberica-284.txt item: #138 of 398 id: iberica-286 author: title: Interdiscursive collaboration in public relations contexts date: 2013-01-02 words: 6962 flesch: 51 summary: creative collaboration in PR writing is thus a matter of how multiple texts are jointly coordinated to accomplish a particular set of goals within individual campaigns (aronson, Spetner & ames, 2007).

So let me reflect on my involvement and understanding of genre theory, with special emphasis on professional genres. 18 Episode one: Genre analysis Ever since the early conceptualisation of genre theory in the United Kingdom in 1980s I have been partly instrumental in developing it from a purely linguistic analysis of academic and professional genres to the analysis of professional practices and disciplinary cultures, thus integrating textual, strategic or socio-pragmatic, and other critical aspects of genre construction, interpretation, use, and exploitation in various professional contexts. keywords: analysis; bhatia; discourse; genre; genre analysis; interdiscursivity; practices; theory; v.k cache: iberica-290.pdf plain text: iberica-290.txt item: #142 of 398 id: iberica-291 author: Hyland, Ken title: The past is the future with the lights on: Reflections on AELFE´s 20th birthday date: 2012-01-02 words: 5878 flesch: 50 summary: AELFE’s short but distinguished life has coincided with the emergence of LSP as a distinctive and healthy field of endeavour, so that LSP – and particularly the sub-discipline of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) which I’ll be mainly talking about – is an activity at the forefront of language research and teaching today.

In addition, the article may have been cited because citing authors found that it did not represent their own understandings of the world of genre studies: 6. keywords: article; citations; english; esp; genre; hyon; ibérica; journal; paper; purposes; studies; traditions cache: iberica-296.pdf plain text: iberica-296.txt item: #148 of 398 id: iberica-297 author: Tarp, Sven title: Specialised lexicography: 20 years in slow motion date: 2012-01-02 words: 4688 flesch: 43 summary: It first looks at the practical products published in this period and indicates that although the number of specialised dictionaries, encyclopaedias and other lexicographical works have never been bigger, there is no noteworthy development in terms of quality; to this should be added that this branch of lexicography has only to a limited degree exploited the possibilities created by the new electronic media, especially the Internet.

To illustrate from an example of professional language use here, many students of the philologies go into language teaching, and as a teacher trainer I have often observed that students even with a reasonable general command of the target language have great difficulties in coping with the linguistic challenges of conducting classroom business in a foreign language, to negotiate meaning with their learners, that is to modify their language to take their learners from where 20 yEArS OF AELFE Ibérica 24 (2012): 129-138 131 they are, to correct and criticise, but also to encourage their learners, etc. keywords: education; english; field; language; learning; lsp; research; teaching; years cache: iberica-298.pdf plain text: iberica-298.txt item: #150 of 398 id: iberica-299 author: Mur Dueñas, María Pilar title: Getting research published internationally in English: An ethnographic account of a team of Finance Spanish scholars' struggles date: 2012-01-02 words: 6860 flesch: 49 summary: Functions of referees’ comments in peer reviews of scientific research papers”.

Those who have more extensive publication experience in English-medium journals seem to have an additional understanding of disciplinary conventions in the RA genre in English-medium journals that goes beyond the benefits of a better command of written English (whether EAP or EgP) and, surprisingly, of increased familiarity with disciplinary conventions in the RA genre in Spanish-medium journals. keywords: articles; difficulty; english; ibérica; language; level; moreno; proficiency; publication; researchers; sections; spanish; writing cache: iberica-300.pdf plain text: iberica-300.txt item: #152 of 398 id: iberica-301 author: Sancho Guinda, Carmen title: Flexibility features in patent writing date: 2012-01-02 words: 9261 flesch: 48 summary: In this paper I advocate a pedagogy of patent writing based on the deconstruction of such myths, which are basically concerned with a notion of the genre as rigid and static, highly impersonal, and exclusively descriptive.

For example, Coultas’ treatise, Language and Social Contexts (2003), clearly gives information on variation regarding power, gender and regional talk but deals with register variation only by mentioning some “formality” parameters (Coultas, 2003: 9). keywords: analysis; communication; context; english; genres; ibérica; language; linguistic; new; professional; pægina; register; register variation; style; variation; varieties cache: iberica-418.pdf plain text: iberica-418.txt item: #241 of 398 id: iberica-419 author: Esteve Ramos, María José title: Medical terminology across the centuries: distinctive features of a chronological study in the field of ophthalmology date: 2006-01-02 words: 7481 flesch: 56 summary: [2006]: 111-126 117 14th century text 19th century text blode 0.10% blood 0.10% cause 0.05% cause 0.07% cateract 0.08% cataract 0.11% day/days/daye 0.12% day 0.10% eye/eye/eyon/ey3e, ey3en 1.64% eye/eyes/eyeball 1.01% pacyent/pacyentes 0.33% patient 0.29% poynt 0.06% point 0.07% tyme 0.10% time/times 0.27% water 0.12% water 0.08% Table 1.

To illustrate how knowledge of the neurological underpinnings of semantic and morphosyntactic processes can benefit discourse analysis, she quantitatively and qualitatively analyses a corpus compiled of the annual reports, CEO (Chief Executive Officer) letters, mission statements, social responsibility reports, annual reviews and presentations, and business press releases by three Spanish companies Santander, Inditex, and Mercadona. keywords: analysis; chapter; corpus; discourse; metaphor; studies cache: iberica-533.pdf plain text: iberica-533.txt item: #269 of 398 id: iberica-534 author: Li, Qiong ; Du, Jianying title: Specialised English: New Directions in ESP and EAP Research and Practice.
