Описание: This volume brings together work by both well-known scholars and emerging researchers in the various areas of Language for Specific Purposes (LSP), such as political, legal, medical, and business discourse. The volume is divided into three parts in order to align rather than separate three different but related aspects of LSP: namely, translation, linguistic research, and domain specific communication on the web. Underlying all the contributions here is the growing awareness of the ever-increasing multiformity of specialised communication and the ever-wider social implications of the communicative situations in which it is embedded, especially where it involves the need to move across languages, cultures and modes, as in translation and interpreting. The contributions consistently bear witness to the need to review received notions, pose new questions, and explore fresh perspectives. The picture that emerges is one of extreme complexity, in which researchers into specifically linguistic aspects of LSPs and their translation across languages and media declare their awareness of the pressing need to come to terms with a wide range of social, pragmatic, intercultural and political factors, above and beyond socio-technical knowledge of the domains under investigation.

GOLD MEDALIST WINNER 2015 READER'S FAVORITE INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARD
It's the classic dilemma of the writer: Do you write what's in you heart or do you write what sells? In this modern age of publishing there is a huge chasm between the best selling authors that are rich beyond their dreams and... well, everybody else. All Daniel Waterstone ever wanted to do was write the great American novel and change the landscape of modern literature forever. He has two literary books in print but no one's buying. His agent won't even accept his latest masterpiece which he poured his soul into: apparently, it's not commercial enough. In a final act of desperation, Daniel decides to write - not what's in his heart but - what he thinks will sell. Boy, did he get that one wrong...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY REVIEW (starred) Daniel is an affable protagonist-a bit self-obsessed, but basically decent. Davis's novel is an entertaining farce about modern society, a deft, fast-paced tale that will leave self-aware readers giggling. This is an entertaining book that will reward readers.
THE MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW"Brain: The Man Who Wrote the Book That Changed the World" is ironic, iconoclastic, and pure entertainment from first page to last. It is also based upon an all-to-familiar scenario common to almost anyone who has written their version of the 'Great American Novel' only to have it (and them) rejected by an unappreciative publishing community and a culture that values pop culture absurdity over literary erudition. Highly entertaining, "Brain: The Man Who Wrote the Book That Changed the World" is recommended reading -- especially for anyone who has ever set about trying to get something of quality published only to see hackneyed flack work be received enthusiastically by an undiscerning public. Also highly recommended is author Dermot Davis' earlier novel, "Stormy Weather" (9780984418114).
SAN FRANCISCO BOOK REVIEWProbably the best thing about this book is the assortment of wacky characters, including the idealistic but na ve Daniel, the villainous agent and her ex-con younger brother, and the girl who believes in Charles Spectrum even when he tells her it was all a joke gone wild. Its a roller coaster ride for Daniel, but pure fun for the reader;full of odd metaphors, literary allusions, and hilarious coincidences. Sometimes wordy, but still a great book for anyone who enjoys a laugh at all the crazies in the world; including themselves.

Описание:
Robert Munro, a therapist specializing in dream interpretation, awoke one morning to find himself in a dream from which he could not awaken. Experiencing first hand the limitations of his own training and theories, he must solve the puzzle of his own dream in order to break free from its bondage. In the process, he'll better understand himself, other people, and the nature of consciousness itself.
What begins as the captivating story of one man's descent into the dream world of his own subconscious soon becomes a heart-wrenching novel of surprise and inner discovery, raising questions about the reliability of memory, childhood trauma, psychological repression and the limits of conscious awareness and human self-understanding.
"With "Stormy Weather," novelist Dermot Davis has deftly crafted a minor literary masterpiece. Fully engaging from beginning to end, this fictional portrayal of the role of dreams with respect to human behavior is as entertaining as it is thoughtful and thought-provoking." - THE MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
