Edyta Więcławska presents the structural and functional aspects of binomials in English/Polish company registration discourse. She analyses and discusses frequency data from the sociolinguistic perspective. Her work contributes original and innovative research shedding new light on the perennial issue of legal formulacity as evidenced through binomial expressions. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the volume fits within the research domains of linguistics and law (jurlinguistics, legal linguistics), translation studies and commercial law.

This book focuses on binomials (word pairs such as heart and soul, rich and poor, or if and when), and in particular on the degree of reversibility that English binomials demonstrate. Detailed and innovative corpus linguistic analyses investigate the correlates of the degree of reversibility, linguistic constraints that influence the ordering and reversibility of binomials and the diachronic development of reversibility. In addition, judgment data are analyzed for their convergence and divergence with corpus data regarding degrees of reversibility. The book thus establishes reversibility as a complex characteristic of the binomial construction, at the same time throwing light on general questions in phraseology, lexicalization, language structure and language processing.

This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the research carried out over the past thirty years in the vast field of legal discourse. The focus is on how such research has been influenced and shaped by developments in corpus linguistics and register analysis, and by the emergence from the mid 1990s of historical pragmatics as a branch of pragmatics concerned with the scrutiny of historical texts in their context of writing. The five chapters in Part I (together with the introductory chapter) offer a wide spectrum of the latest approaches to the synchronic analysis of cross-genre and cross-linguistic variation in legal discourse. Part II addresses diachronic variation, illustrating how a diversity of methods, such as multi-dimensional analysis, move analysis, collocation analysis, and Darwinian models of language evolution can uncover new understandings of diachronic linguistic phenomena.

Binomials, such as for and against, dead or alive, to have and to hold, can be broadly defined as two words belonging to the same grammatical category and linked by a semantic relationship. They are an important phraseological phenomenon present throughout the history of the English language. This volume offers a range of studies on binomials, their types and functions from Old English through to the present day. Searching for motivations and characteristic features of binomials in a particular genre or writer, the chapters engage with many linguistic levels of analysis, such as phonology or semantics, and explore the important role of translation. Drawing on philological and corpus-linguistic approaches, the authors employ qualitative and quantitative methods, setting the discussion firmly in the extra-linguistic context. Binomials and their extended forms - multinomials - emerge from these discussions as an important phraseological tool, with rich applications and complex motivations.

Profoundly concerned with the properties of access, perceptual complexity, and pragmatic presuppositions, here formalized as a calculus of markedness, this study attempts to provide a highly principled explanation of morphological complexity and change. Here, markedness is construed as a qualitative statement, as a natural parametric device, and not as an empirically empty algorithmic tool. This work is fundamentally concerned with iconicity as a property of grammatical encoding. A major contribution to a dynamic theory of language as a communicative endeavor, this study is strongly oriented towards universals with prognostic capacity. Moreover, the terms morphology and naturalness are here given biological reference, keyed as they are to the basis for a biology of language, and it is thus altogether fitting that this first English-language version of a work that has long enjoyed critical airing in Europe be prefaced with an essay by none less than Rupert Riedl -- Back cover.
