Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Elastic language is a phenomenon in linguistics that refers to how we stretch the meanings of words, depending on the context in which they are used - for example many, about 20, perhaps, could be. This study looks specifically at elastic language in the fields of medicine and healthcare, showing how it is used to serve both the patient's and the professional's needs. It explores the pragmatics and metapragmatics of elasticity in the delivery of online medical information as a way of avoiding miscommunication. Based on data from Chinese and English sources, it takes a cross-cultural perspective, to present an account of harmony and disharmony between professional medical websites and their users. Adding exciting new dimensions to the fields of health communication and pragmatics, it is essential reading for scholars and advanced students in semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis and interactional linguistics, as well as professionals involved in healthcare and communication.

Vague Language, Elasticity Theory and the Use of Some (Paperback)
Published by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, London, 2019
ISBN 10: 1350143871 ISBN 13: 9781350143876
Language: English
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In Vague Language, Elasticity Theory and the Use of Some, Nguyet Nhu Le and Grace Qiao Zhang present the first comprehensive study of the word some, focusing on its elasticity. In particular, they consider how some is both a quantifier and a qualifier, has positive or negative meanings, and has local and global interpretations. They show that the word is used across a meaning continuum and can be used to convey a range of states, including approximation, uncertainty, politeness, and evasion. Finally, they demonstrate that the functions of some are also multi-directional and non-categorical, consisting of four major functions (right amount of information, mitigation, withholding information, and discourse management).Based on naturally-occurring classroom data of L1 (American English) and L2 (Chinese- and Vietnamese-speaking learners of English) speakers, Vague Language shows that L2 speakers used some more than L1 speakers and explores the significance of this, particularly taking account of speakers language ability and cultural backgrounds. While this book focuses on the single word some, the authors discussion has important implications for language studies more generally, as they call for a rethinking of our approaches to language study and more attention to its elasticity. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
