Varieties of Questions in English Conversation by Elizabeth G. Weber Pdf

This book examines relations which hold between morphosyntactic form and communicative function in discourse by examining form-function correlations of noninterrogative questions in ordinary English conversation. So-called nontypical declarative and nonclausal questions are identified functionally. The role morphosyntax plays in the production and interpretation of these forms as doing questioning is then considered. Speakers are shown to use specific patterns of morphosyntactic marking to enable recipients to interpret noninterrogatives as functional questions. Explanations for morphosyntactic patterns found in the data are stated in terms of discourse use.

Tag Questions in Conversation by Ditte Kimps Pdf

This monograph deals with variable tag questions. These are utterances with a variable interrogative tag, like It's peculiar writing, isn't it, and the semi-variable tag innit, such as Nice, innit. The aim is to provide a corpus-based, comprehensive semantic-pragmatic typology of British English tag questions. Compared to existing descriptions, the proposed typology is novel in three ways. Firstly, whereas almost all existing typologies are single-layered classifications, the functions of tag questions are categorized into two parallel dimensions of interpersonal meaning: the speech function and the stance layer. Secondly, semantic generalizations are proposed for clusters of grammatical, intonational and conversational properties. Thirdly, the bottom-up description is based on a sizeable amount of authentic, spontaneous conversations, which are analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Questioning Strategies in Marketing Research Questionnaires by Julia Glimmann Pdf

Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Questionnaires are one of the most frequently used means in marketing research. This thesis has the objective to analyze questionnaires with the main focus on the linguistic description of questions. Whereas a lot of research on questionnaires from a social science perspective and a marketing perspective can be found, linguistic research on questionnaires is rare. The research question of this thesis can be formulated as follows: What are the differences between questionnaires used in personal face-to-face interviews, telephone interviews and self-administered questionnaires and how are these differences reflected in language? Thus, several different questionnaires (cf. corpus) have been analyzed and compared. Following the introduction in chapter one, chapter two of the thesis is dedicated to marketing research. The purpose of surveys is explained as well as the sampling procedure and the pretest. This thesis focuses on primary research. Chapter three explains the symbolic interaction theory for social research. This question-answer model describes the interview situation. Chapter four is dedicated to the three different survey techniques (personal interviews, telephone interviews and self-administered questionnaires). Each of them will be discussed in detail. Chapter five deals with response effects in questionnaires and explains the influence of question words, question form, question structure and question topic on responses. Whereas chapter six focuses on the macrostructure (overall structure) of questionnaires, chapter seven focuses on the mircostructure. Question form (open-ended vs. closed questions), sentence types and sentence form will be discussed as well as wh-interrogatives and the you attitude . In chapter eight a summary of the language differences is provided for each type of questionnaire separately. Finally, in the conclusion in chapter nine, some final remarks on the topic will be made.

Intermediate English Discussion Topics by Nigel Mark Openshaw Pdf

The lessons that follow can be adapted to run from 30 to 90 minutes. They often start with about 5-10 minutes of free talking. This can cover how the students are, what they have been doing or plan to do, as well as contributions from the teacher.The structure of the lessons is modular, with clear and obvious steps to take. Everything starts with the teacher's preparation work. Depending on the students' ability, topics might need a quick worksheet or short classroom activity at the start of the lesson, and you will need to set aside time to devise this.The purpose of each lesson is for students to gain confidence and increase their vocabulary by talking about different topics. If they are unsure about what to do, this might mean introductory work is needed first.I have taught classes with anything up to twenty students using these materials. The lessons are easy to adapt depending on your classroom size and level. For example, with a large class you can encourage smaller groups to discuss topics together and then ask students to share their ideas with the whole class.Be aware of students' sensitivities. Some students may be a little nervous about expressing their opinions and emotions in front of the class. However, over time, they will come to realize that everyone else feels the same and their confidence will improve.
