This book constitutes another step of the linguistic community in translating cognitive linguistics research into a set of guidelines applicable in the foreign language classroom. The authors, language scholars, and experienced practitioners discuss a collection of both more theoretical and practical issues from the area of second and foreign language pedagogy. These are matters that not only enhance our comprehension of particular grammatical and lexical problems, but also lead to the improvement of the efficiency of teaching a foreign language. 

This book provides new research on linguistics. Chapter One shows the shortcomings and drawbacks of classical single-factor or unilateral theories of word learning, lexical acquisition, and language development. Chapter Two reviews the Verbal Grammar Correlation Index (VGCI) as a tool of comparative linguistics. Chapter Three discusses academic literacy adaptation in the international graduate students' use of lexical bundles through corpus research. Chapter Four investigates the role of the implementation of the multisemiotic theory through the analysis of the Orthodox Patriarchs’ photographs. (Imprint: Nova)

In spite of the day-to-day relevance of business communication, it remains underrepresented in standard handbooks and textbooks on applied linguistics. The present volume introduces readers to a wide variety of linguistic studies of business communication, ranging from traditional LSP approaches to contemporary discourse-based work, and from the micro-level of lexical choice to macro-level questions of language policy and culture.

This book explores a key issue in linguistic theory, the systematic variation in form between semantic equivalents across languages. Two contrasting views of the role of lexical meaning in the analysis of such variation can be found in the literature: (i) uniformity, whereby lexical meaning is universal, and variation arises from idiosyncratic differences in the inventory and phonological shape of language-particular functional material, and (ii) transparency, whereby systematic variation in form arises from systematic variation in the meaning of basic lexical items.
