This paper looks at projection in the discourse of news reports in English and Spanish. The analysis reveals the extent to which projection pervades these texts, not only at clause complex level – the traditional object of study of projection – but also below the clause complex, at clause simple… read more
This paper describes and compares the realisations, functions and interrelations of Theme as point of departure (POD), i.e. Theme stripped of any reference to “what the clause is about”, in two languages — English and Spanish — and two genres — academic writing and casual conversation. The… read more
This paper uses a trinocular approach – i.e. from below, from above and from roundabout – to describe Theme as point of departure (POD) in English and Spanish casual conversation (thus avoiding the more controversial ‘what-the-clause-is-about’ aspect of Theme). This research is part of a… read more
This paper offers a detailed study of Theme as point of departure in English and Spanish academic texts. A corpus of around 45,000 words is examined from different perspectives to compare the realizations, functions and interplays of the point of departure in these two languages. Examples reveal… read more

Additionally, studies devoted to specific LVCs tend to neglect the phrasal-semantic and… read more
