The main theme of the work is how temporal and spatial meaning representations in language reflect and, in turn, construct these personal, professional and corporate identities. From each chapter different sociolinguistic realities emerge which affect English, as it is used by both native and non-native speakers, especially in the relationship between local or national cultures and the global professional discourse community. In this context not only have domain-specific language features been analysed, but also the communication strategies and interactive patterns at work in how different geo-political cultures construe, manifest and adjust their identities over the course of time and in varying physical, virtual, and cognitive spaces.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CHItem Height: 225mmItem Length: 150mmItem Weight: 480gContributor: Maurizio Gotti (Series edited by), Rita Salvi (Edited by), Janet Bowker (Edited by)Author: Maurizio GottiGenre: Language & ReferenceTopic: Law & PoliticsBook Series: Linguistic InsightsRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
