Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The overall effect is, therefore, of a pooling of knowledge, rather than a series of separate chapters. [...]all the authors start from a similar theoretical background: the work most frequently referred to is Ducrot, and the theory most frequently taken as a starting point is the theorie de l'enonciation, a theory much in evidence in contemporary French linguistics, and of which the reader gets a clear understanding. The nal article (by David Hornsby and Tim Pooley) is particularly useful as potential reading for a seminar-type discussion as it explicitly addresses the difculty inherent in adapting a Labovian model of variation to francophone Europe. [...]as many of the articles draw their results from corpus-based analyses, the volume also provides a helpful illustration of some of the uses and limitations of this approach to linguistic research. [...]the volume misses the opportunity to provide a richer resource for the university language teacher seeking a combined understanding of the research and teaching implications of exploiting such new technologies within the language-learning process. [...]presenters are visible (voice `on') and are accompanied by eminent guests a politician, a specialist in his eld or an actor with whom they are in conversation.
