However, because the manifestos do not appear far enough in advance of the attacks for such approaches to be effective, this study instead examines how the language used in them inspires others who may carry out similar attacks in the future. This paper uses corpus analysis of keywords to identify the ways in which 15 perpetrators actively address imagined future attackers and anticipate them as an audience. Findings demonstrate that rather than a passive ‘contagion’ effect (<span><span>Kupper et al. 2022</span></span>), writers of such texts use second person pronouns ambiguously to share agency and connect with future readers and instruct them, and that this varies depending on the ideology of the perpetrator. These findings have implications for the way in which the availability of such texts is viewed and suggest that the role of these texts in the perpetuation of violence should be taken more seriously by those responsible for disseminating them.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72254,"journal":{"name":"Applied Corpus Linguistics","volume":"5 3","pages":"Article 100160"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145416003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantitative comparisons of lexical density and collocational patterns reveal that modern sermons emphasize women’s physical appearance (e.g., attire) and traditional roles (e.g., motherhood), contrasting with early texts that acknowledge women’s individuality and agency. Semantic preference analysis shows singular ‘woman’ in modern contexts collocates with moral deviation, while plural \"women\" aligns with morality and collective protection.

We found and gathered a total of 347 primary studies, including individual research articles or reports, published between 2012 and 2021. After a rigorous screening process based on four criteria, 94 target articles were selected and analyzed. These criteria were: (1) inclusion of empirical studies on DDL published between 2012 and 2021, (2) implementation of the DDL approach by instructors for English language learners, (3) utilization of research designs capturing qualitative data on learner and teacher perceptions of DDL, and (4) discussion of challenges and obstacles related to DDL from both learners' and teachers' perspectives. This screening resulted in 295 data segments, which are specific excerpts or portions within these target articles, each referring to one participant's experience and articulated challenges. These data segments were subsequently extracted and coded. The results suggest that the barriers to DDL can be categorized into two core groups: inherent and external factors. Inherent factors relate to the actual tasks involved in DDL, while external factors are connected to the users of this approach. Both categories may impact DDL's effectiveness. The findings imply that situational context and the emotional state of users should also be considered when designing tools, materials, and teaching methodologies for DDL. These insights have implications for both practitioners and researchers and could inform the development of training programs and materials aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of DDL in language learning and teaching.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72254,"journal":{"name":"Applied Corpus Linguistics","volume":"5 2","pages":"Article 100126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143621278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite their crucial role in lexical bundles, few studies have examined how L2 learners use prepositions within lexical bundles in academic writing. This study investigated prepositional phrase (PP)-lexical bundles among L2 writers from prepositional Indo-European (IE) languages, prepositionless non-Indo-European (NIE) languages, and native English speakers. The research aimed to analyze the variety, frequency, and functions of these bundles, as well as the impact of L1 backgrounds on prepositional usage. Data were extracted from the ETS Corpus and the Louvain Corpus of Native English Essays. The findings revealed that while there were no significant differences between the NIE and IE groups in bundle type and frequency, the IE group's prepositional usage more closely resembled that of NSs, reflecting linguistic disparities tied to writers’ L1 backgrounds. Additionally, the functions of lexical bundles varied between NNS and NSs, with both NNS groups exhibiting a greater reliance on discourse organizers and stance expressions. These results suggest pedagogical implications for teaching prepositions, particularly to learners from prepositionless languages.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72254,"journal":{"name":"Applied Corpus Linguistics","volume":"5 2","pages":"Article 100128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143761227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there remains a significant void in the thorough analysis of syntactic complexity, a crucial aspect of their respective distinct translation styles. This study aims to address this gap by conducting a meticulous examination of the syntactic complexity in the first 80 chapters of the novel, as translated by Hawkes and the Yangs, with a specific focus on the subgenres of narration and dialogue. The analysis reveals substantial disparities, such as Hawkes employing longer linguistic units in narration and a higher frequency of subordinations in dialogue. By emphasizing the importance of syntactic complexity within the realm of translation style, this study advocates for integrating metrics that assess syntactic complexity in future explorations related to translation styles. The implications of these findings for enhancing translation research and pedagogy are also discussed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72254,"journal":{"name":"Applied Corpus Linguistics","volume":"5 2","pages":"Article 100125"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143580102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
