Abstract
This article analyses the use of language in: – two school textbooks of 80,000 and 30,000 words; – a corpus of written English of 1 million words. Two main linguistic features are analysed: – the expression of causativity in ergative constructions; – the expression of modality in ‘projecting’ that-clauses. These concern, respectively, whether events and knowledge are attributed to agents. The analyses show large (statistically significant) differences in the distribution of syntactic patterns in the two books, and these differences are discussed as evidence of the different ideological stances expressed in the books. But the use of corpus data for the stylistic analysis of long texts is shown to require more detailed semantic analyses of verb classes than are currently available. The main argument concerns the relationship between syntactic, textual, and ideological analysis, and the descriptive methods required in text analysis.

The analyses show large (statistically significant) differences in the distribution of syntactic patterns in the two books, and these differences are discussed as evidence of the different ideological stances expressed in the books. But the use of corpus data for the stylistic analysis of long texts is shown to require more detailed semantic analyses of verb classes than are currently available. The main argument concerns the relationship between syntactic, textual, and ideological analysis, and the descriptive methods required in text analysis.</p></abstract><textClass><keywords scheme="keyword"><list><item><term>Articles</term></item></list></keywords></textClass></profileDesc><revisionDesc><change when="1994-06">Published</change><change xml:id="refBibs-istex" who="#ISTEX-API" when="2016-12-22">References added</change></revisionDesc></teiHeader></istex:fulltextTEI><json:item><extension>txt</extension><original>false</original><mimetype>text/plain</mimetype><uri>https://api.istex.fr/document/58121596EE2658F4B2BC8D1B7D3948A2B6B56919/fulltext/txt</uri></json:item></fulltext><metadata><istex:metadataXml wicri:clean="corpus oup" wicri:toSee="no header"><istex:docType PUBLIC="-//NLM//DTD Journal Publishing DTD v2.3 20070202//EN" URI="journalpublishing.dtd" name="istex:docType"></istex:docType><istex:document><article article-type="research-article"><front><journal-meta><journal-id journal-id-type="hwp">applij</journal-id><journal-id journal-id-type="publisher-id">applij</journal-id><journal-id journal-id-type="pmc">applij</journal-id><journal-title>Applied Linguistics</journal-title><issn pub-type="epub">1477-450X</issn><issn pub-type="ppub">0142-6001</issn><publisher><publisher-name>Oxford University Press</publisher-name></publisher></journal-meta><article-meta><article-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1093/applin/15.2.201</article-id><article-id pub-id-type="publisher-id">15.2.201</article-id><article-categories><subj-group><subject>Articles</subject></subj-group></article-categories><title-group><article-title>Grammar, Text, and Ideology: Computer-assisted Methods in the Linguistics of Representation</article-title></title-group><contrib-group><contrib contrib-type="author"><name><surname>STUBBS</surname><given-names>MICHAEL</given-names></name></contrib><aff><institution>Universität Trier</institution></aff></contrib-group><pub-date pub-type="ppub"><month>6</month><year>1994</year></pub-date><volume>15</volume><issue>2</issue><fpage>201</fpage><lpage>223</lpage><history><date date-type="rev-recd"><month>10</month><year>1993</year></date></history><copyright-statement>© Oxford University Press 1994</copyright-statement><copyright-year>1994</copyright-year><abstract><p>This article analyses the use of language in:</p><p>– two school textbooks of 80,000 and 30,000 words;</p><p>– a corpus of written English of 1 million words.</p><p>Two main linguistic features are analysed:</p><p>– the expression of causativity in ergative constructions;</p><p>– the expression of modality in ‘projecting’ that-clauses.</p><p>These concern, respectively, whether events and knowledge are attributed to agents.

Two main linguistic features are analysed: – the expression of causativity in ergative constructions; – the expression of modality in ‘projecting’ that-clauses. These concern, respectively, whether events and knowledge are attributed to agents. The analyses show large (statistically significant) differences in the distribution of syntactic patterns in the two books, and these differences are discussed as evidence of the different ideological stances expressed in the books. But the use of corpus data for the stylistic analysis of long texts is shown to require more detailed semantic analyses of verb classes than are currently available. The main argument concerns the relationship between syntactic, textual, and ideological analysis, and the descriptive methods required in text analysis.</abstract><relatedItem type="host"><titleInfo><title>Applied Linguistics</title></titleInfo><genre type="journal">journal</genre><identifier type="ISSN">0142-6001</identifier><identifier type="eISSN">1477-450X</identifier><identifier type="PublisherID">applij</identifier><identifier type="PublisherID-hwp">applij</identifier><part><date>1994</date><detail type="volume"><caption>vol.</caption><number>15</number></detail><detail type="issue"><caption>no.</caption><number>2</number></detail><extent unit="pages"><start>201</start><end>223</end></extent></part></relatedItem><identifier type="istex">58121596EE2658F4B2BC8D1B7D3948A2B6B56919</identifier><identifier type="DOI">10.1093/applin/15.2.201</identifier><identifier type="ArticleID">15.2.201</identifier><accessCondition type="use and reproduction" contentType="copyright">© Oxford University Press 1994</accessCondition><recordInfo><recordContentSource>OUP</recordContentSource></recordInfo></mods></metadata><serie></serie></istex></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
