The goal of the study is to provide insights into how stigma against people living with HIV emerged and developed in Lesotho. Employing the tenets of critical discourse analysis (CDA), the study examines the stigma that was encoded by religious metaphors used in the period 1986–2010, and the social agency behind the use of these metaphors. The analysis shows that the newspapers used the religious metaphors to perpetuate the stereotypes of people living with HIV as ‘sinners’. The findings show that one set of metaphors that the newspapers used was that of cleanliness metaphors. These metaphors portrayed both the conduct of people living with HIV and the people living with HIV themselves as ‘unclean’, with the expression ‘clean’ used as a metaphor for ‘being holy’. Another set of metaphors that the newspapers used involved the idea of a journey. These journey metaphors portrayed people living with HIV as sinners who followed ‘a wrong way or path’. The wide distribution of these metaphors from 1986 to 2010 suggests that the perceptions of people living with HIV as sinners were widespread.","PeriodicalId":54152,"journal":{"name":"Southern African Linguistics and Applied Language Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":"325 - 336"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47086777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies in this field have been centred on the development of pragmatic competence (awareness) and teaching methods (Taguchi 2015), pragmatic testing and assessment (Roever 2011), as well as the distribution of pragmatic knowledge in textbooks (Ren and Han 2016), all of which focus mostly on learners’ language forms and strategies, yet ignore the role of modalities other than language forms in the process of meaning construction and expression, as well as the contribution of corpus linguistics to the study of pragmatic competence. Professor Zhanhao Jiang’s new book, Development and Application of a Multimodal Corpus for Learners’ Pragmatic Competence , is a timely attempt to address the paucity of studies in this respect, by presenting an interface study between multimodality, corpus linguistics and pragmatic competence. The book consists of eight chapters, which are engagingly structured into four parts, leading readers through the practical process of building a multimodal corpus and showing them how to apply it to learners’ pragmatic competence research.","PeriodicalId":54152,"journal":{"name":"Southern African Linguistics and Applied Language Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":"378 - 380"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45841621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a broad and multifaceted research area that facilitates understanding hierarchical relations and participants’ positions in various discourse communities. Discussing the emergence and importance of power dynamics in shaping the production and reception of messages, Discourse Processes between Reason and Emotion: A Post-disciplinary Perspective addresses political, media and academic discourse, and encompasses representative instances of this heterogeneity. Its post-disciplinary account of DA from a state-of-the-art collection draws on theoretical and methodological analysis to outline the background, methods and outcomes of DA, with a range of cutting-edge scholarship providing detailed guidelines and findings in the linguistic and discursive processes regarding reason and emotion. With an introductory chapter, the book consists of seven more chapters. The first two chapters focus speciﬁcally on message processing and the subsequent five chapters present the dynamics of power in specific discursive representations of social interactions. The introductory chapter argues for the inter- and transdisciplinarity of DA, and sketches the theoretical and methodological frameworks used in the book under review. Acknowledging the post-disciplinarity of DA, it points out the significance of a pragmatic and constructive synthesis that is based on interdependence and reciprocal inﬂuence of different theories, practices and strategies originating from speciﬁc areas of research.

To this end, four-, five-, and six-word lexical bundles were contrastively investigated in two different sub-corpora i.e. a native English corpus (NEC) and a non-native English corpus (NNEC). The corpus contained 496 985 words, and each sub-corpora included 100 RAs. The RAs were then examined structurally and functionally. The data were analysed both quantitatively, using frequency count and chi-square analyses, and qualitatively through content analysis. Based on the results, from among the lexical bundles, 29 four-word, 17 five-word, and one six-word bundles were identified in the NEC, while 52 four-word, 27 five-word, and five six-word bundles were found in the NNEC. The findings highlight that Iranian non-native English authors employed more four-word, five-word and six-word lexical bundles than native English authors. The descriptive and overall findings also suggested some differences in the two groups’ functional and structural patterns of lexical bundles, whereas statistically insignificant differences were identified in the structural patterns of bundles in the groups. These findings lay considerable emphasis on the central part that lexical bundles play in English for academic purposes (EAP) and English for specific purposes (ESP) courses.","PeriodicalId":54152,"journal":{"name":"Southern African Linguistics and Applied Language Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":"177 - 199"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49260755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on Hyland’s interpersonal model of metadiscourse, we discuss the most frequent interactional features and different rhetorical purposes across abstracts, introductions and conclusions in three corpora: an American international corpus, a Persian international corpus and a Persian national corpus. We report on the significant differences in the frequency of interactional metadiscourse (sub)categories in the three corpora. In the international context, we find close similarities between American English academics and their Persian peers in metadiscoursal preferences. We discuss differences in the use of metadiscourse markers among writers in light of the communicative purposes that metadiscourse features may serve across sub-genres. The results of the study suggest that although rhetorical purposes contribute to the frequency and use of interactional resources, cross-cultural factors seem to exercise a more powerful influence on regulating the frequency and use of these discursive features. The findings carry implications for English for academic purposes (EAP), discipline-specific genre writing for novice non-native English writers.","PeriodicalId":54152,"journal":{"name":"Southern African Linguistics and Applied Language Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":"227 - 242"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48481688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
