Lexical Movement Project
21 June 2018Project launch: June 27-29, Cardiff University
Project Outline: This project focusses on lexical movement across languages. The potential benefits of this work relate to bridging English and Chinese systems (among other languages), and beyond that to the fields of linguistics, intercultural communication, and education. At present, while the grammar of systemic functional linguistics is well developed, the focus on lexical items is relatively limited. This project aims to develop this area and to explain the ties between lexis and cultures, something which has the potential for significant theoretical value in the field.
