Seminar title: Data-based cross-linguistic and cross-cultural research: contributions for the industry, society and education
This seminar illustrates the interaction and mutual contribution of the data-based cross-linguistic and cross-cultural research conducted in the past years to the world of industry, society at large and education, in particular. In order to illustrate it, three case studies will be presented: 1) the first case is based on the european project “chetch – china and europe taking care of healthcare solutions”, in which the business models of european pharmaceutical firms operating in china were investigated from the economic, legal and communicative perspectives together with other colleagues from the economics & law dept; 2) the second case focuses on the conceptualization and designation of culture-bound terms from specialized text types, and on how to develop language and translation competence in content and language integrated classes (examples from the language of contracts and the language of industry will be presented); 3) the third case revolves around intercultural competence in a globalized context, and specifically analyses language classes based on the integration of language and content while applying on-site and remote collaboration in a multilingual environment. Current research will also be briefly introduced, e.g., the investigation of corporate discourse in csr reporting, in order to highlight any phraseological patterns that may expose the ideology behind the good stakeholders' representation. The methodology applied combines the framework proposed by phraseology, cognitive linguistics, and critical discourse analysis, against the background of corpus linguistics and functional grammar, and accounts for both quantitative text description and qualitative text analysis.
