It is a cross-disciplinary study based on pragmatics, social linguistics and discourse analysis. This paper uses the theories and dynamic descriptions of conversation analysis and thematic structure analysis to examine two real texts for their textual and interpersonal meanings in order to illustrate the necessity as well as the feasibility of applying modern linguistic theories in transforming traditional methods of language teaching.展开更多

Linguistics can provide language teaching with theories and language teaching can further prove the validity of linguistics. To some extent, linguistics is more theoretical while language teaching is more practical. Since linguistics is defined as the scientific study of language, it seems obvious that such a study would have direct relations to language teaching. This paper attempts to make an analysis of difference between Contextual theory of meaning and the teaching of EFL reading.展开更多

Theoretical apparatus of media studies and other interdisciplinary linguistic fields were employed for comparative analysis of genre characteristics. The paper is part of a longitudinal study of print media genres over the period of 2002-2010. The aim of the research is to(a) define and compare genre characteristics of the British, U.S. and Georgian print media,(b) examine and define structural and linguistic(semantic, pragmatic, semiotic) characteristics of the British, U.S. and Georgian quality newspaper genres,(c) define deictic composition of newspaper articles and(d) study expression of coded meanings in media texts. In this paper, I will focus on two major genres of quality print media: news and features. The media genres are analysed within the theoretical framework of pragmatics, semantics, semiotics and media studies.展开更多
