Book Description
The World Wide Web is expanding at a rapid pace. This progressive growth has inevitably created a proliferation of sites and information sources that are posted on this medium. Jim Millhorn attempts to examine a small corner of this undergrowth in Student's Companion to the World Wide Web by focusing on outstanding academic and scholarly sites for students in the social sciences and humanities. While the Web is an invaluable source of information, students do not always know how to extract the information that they seek. This guide can offer assistance. This book expertly handles common reference sources, search engines, meta-subject guides, the humanities, and social science disciplines, which are arranged in an alphabetized sequence of chapters featuring each individual discipline. An innovative and timely answer to the student's quest for information, this book opens the broadest purview the Web offers on a specific discipline while simultaneously limiting the number of featured sites.

Book Description
This unique monograph provides a theoretical and methodological account on how to do cross-cultural genre analysis with the aids of corpus tools. Cross-cultural genre analysis investigates how discourse communities from different cultural backgrounds use language to realize a particular genre. It can shed light on genre nature as well as cultural specificities. The book suggests five specific approaches in doing cross-cultural genre analysis: Investigating genre context; Approaching genre complexity; Exploring genre nature; Exploring culture specificity; and Focusing on specific communicative functions. Each of these approaches is illustrated and demonstrated in a specific chapter with practical analyses of the genre of CSR reports. Covering linguistic analysis of CSR reports in three languages: Chinese, English and Italian, Yu provides insights into implications for both genre theories and CSR communication practice. By applying the cross-cultural perspective in corporate discourse analysis, her book demonstrates how the approach of cross-cultural genre analysis is fruitful and valuable in providing practical insights into the textual practice of CSR reporting in a globalized context. Moreover, in the final parts of the book, Yu illustrates how cross-cultural genre analysis can be applied in the didactic field of writing, translation and cross-cultural studies. This volume is a valuable reference to scholars of genre analysis, corpus-based studies, cross-cultural studies and corporate communication. Moreover, it is also useful for professionals involved in compiling CSR reports. Armed with the knowledge imparted in this book, the reader should be able to analyze other genres from a cross-cultural perspective. In particular, instructions on how to use specific corpus tools are provided in the appendices, which can give scholars basic technical knowledge to approach the field of cross-cultural genre analysis.
