The document summarizes a presentation given by Atsushi Mizumoto at the Japan Society for Speech Sciences Open Forum in 2014. The presentation discussed lexical bundles, which are recurrent multi-word expressions, and analyzed the top 250 4-word lexical bundles found in articles from 10 applied linguistics journals between 1995-2008. Mizumoto's research identified common lexical bundles and analyzed their frequency and distribution across the journals. The presentation also discussed potential applications of lexical bundle analysis for English language teaching.
A Comparison of the Attitudes of Hong Kongers and Mainland Chinese towards th...Bangulzai
Is Cantonese a language or a dialect? If linguistic factors were the sole criterion, it would
most likely be thought a language, while political and cultural considerations would determine it
to be a dialect, and Bell’s (1976) sociolinguistic typology would place it somewhere in between.
The attitude of the speakers themselves is usually said to be the deciding factor, but no direct
surveys of Cantonese speakers have ever been undertaken.
Forensic discourse analysis of legal and courtroom interaction dr arshad aliMehranMouzam
The primary objective of this study is to look into the complexities and complications of legal discourse and how they manifest themselves in the courtroom. The research looks at the dynamics in a courtroom and the jury room in the film 12 Angry Men. The study aims to show how language acts as a source of agency and power in a legal setting, as well as to look into how speakers cooperate in a legal setting. The researcher devised a framework based on Heffer's (2013) legal and forensic discourse model as well as Grice's (1975) Cooperative Principle and its maxims. The data for the study comes from the film 12 Angry Men, which is based on a true story. Forensic discourse analysis was used to analyse the data. This method analyses the utterances and other features present in the legal discourse, as well as its implications. The main findings of the study show that the judge's voice is projected in the court with a significant amount of dominance. Similarly, there is a lack of direct communication that affects the trial by making it difficult for the jury to fully comprehend the facts of the case. Furthermore, the agency is frequently removed from the jury, resulting in a misunderstanding of the case. The majority of the jury members are bored and sleepy, while others have an unhealthy fondness for the prosecution. The final finding concerns the jury members' power play in the jury trial, as evidenced by the jury members' failure to project their voices effectively, and their lack of cooperation. The forensic discourse analysis reveals that all of the maxims were repeatedly violated by the jury members. The most frequently flouted maxims, however, were those of quantity and relevance. This demonstrates how the desire for authority and the lack of agency can have far-reaching implications for the final decision.

This webinar will provide an overview of the Role-Space model developed by Peter Llewellyn-Jones and Robert G. Lee. The core premise is that a role is not something we have, rather is it something we do. The model proposes three interrelated dimensions of interpreter decision making and behavior: interaction management, participant alignment and the presentation of self. The interaction between and amongst these axes forms the role-space that an interpreter occupies in an interaction. Before learning to interpret, students must be aware of their own communicative behaviors in the languages and cultures with which they work before applying them cross-linguistically and cross-culturally. Examples from the trainer’s own interpreting and teaching practice will be provided to illustrate applications of the model.
The act of speech can be performed by understanding the language, such as refusing someone or requesting for something. In many cultures and regions, the refusing strategies are different. According to Austin (1962) cited in (Al-Kahtani, 2005), “speech act is defined as functional element of any interaction or communication”.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

• Ubiquitous in language use (Nattinger &
Decarrico, 1992)
• Constitute more than 50% of spoken and

• Important component of language learning
and use (Schmitt, 2005)
• appear to be stored in the mind as holistic

7. Lexical bundles
Definition
"Lexical bundles are recurrent expressions,
regardless of their idiomaticity, and
regardless of their structural status. That is,
lexical bundles are simply sequences of
word forms that commonly go together in
natural discourse" (Biber et al., 1999,
Longman Grammar of Spoken and Written
English, Chapter 13)
8. Lexical bundles
Definition
• A building block of discourse
= shows that the writer belongs to the
discourse community (Biber & Barbieri,
2007; Biber, Conrad, & Cortes, 2004;
Cortes, 2004; Hyland, 2008a; 2008b)

9. Lexical bundles
Definition
• How do we analyze them?
N-gram: 3-gram (tri-gram), 4-gram, 5-gram
• 4-gram is often used
“they are far more common than 5-word
strings and offer a clearer range of structures
and functions than 3-word bundles”
(Hyland, 2008).
"many four-word bundles hold three-word
bundles in their structures" (Cortes, 2004).
12. Lexical bundles
• 3- and 4-word lexical bundles made up
28 percent of the conversation and 20
percent of the academic prose (Biber et
al., 1999)
• Stored and processed as single units
(Tremblay et al., 2011)

24. Teaching lexical bundles
• Word combinations “are so common, it might
be assumed that lexical bundles are simple
expressions, and that they will therefore be
acquired easily” (Biber & Conrad, 1999, p. 188).
• Professional vs. novice writers (Cortes, 2004)
→ "the use of these expressions by the
students in this study, who were all native
speakers of English at different university
levels, was extremely rare."
28. Teaching lexical bundles
• ESP / EAP — LBs are useful and
especially important in academic writing.!
• Cortes, V. (2006). Teaching lexical
bundles in the disciplines: An
example from a writing intensive
history class. Linguistics and
Education, 17, 391–406. doi:10.1016/

32. Teaching lexical bundles
• Cortes (2006, p. 391)
"The findings of the study reflected no
difference between pre- and post-instruction
production of lexical bundles
but they indicated an increase in
students’ awareness of and interest in
these expressions."!
• In general: results are not very positive
33. Schmitt (2005, p. 37)
"their use as ‘building blocks’ of language (i.e.,
often not realizing meaning content in their
own right) suggests that they may be less
amenable to explicit teaching, simply because
the form-meaning relationship is less
transparent. However, some of the lexical
bundles identified by Biber et al. (1999), entail
a clear meaning (e.g., I don’t know, I want to,
on the other hand), and these cases may well
be worth teaching."
34. Teaching LB = Plagiarism?
"When I first began teaching writing, I often
focused on helping students be creative. I
encouraged more diversity in vocabulary and
more creative word use. From corpus-based
research, I have learned that using the typical
language structures for certain meanings is
actually a sign of proficiency. Using these
bundles is not plagiarism; it is a matter of giving
readers expected forms that they read
efficiently" (Conrad, 2008, p. 125).
35. Teaching LB = Plagiarism?
"Skillful incorporation of academic-sounding
lexical bundles will help students sound more
like they belong in the academic discourse
community of which they they wish to be
members . . . As to the plagiarism question, no
one could reasonably argue that phrases such
as studies have shown that are copyrighted
and owned by any author in particular"
(Ferris, 2011).

effects of teaching LB

He will be remembered always and forever.
46. Highlights
• Lexical bundles
= More than just n-grams
= disciplinary/discourse variations
• Teaching LB is important and necessary in
academic writing (EAP/ESP).
• Effects of teaching LB could be enhanced
by using DDL and focusing on moves.
