{"product_id":"talking-in-clichs-stella-bullo-9781108471633","title":"Talking in Clich駸: The Use of Stock Phrases in Discourse and Communication","description":"For decades, social perspectives, and even academic studies of language, have considered clich駸 as a hackneyed, tired, lazy, unthinking and uninspiring form of communication. Authored by two established scholars in the fields of Systemic-Functional Linguistics and Discourse Studies and Pragmatics, this cutting-edge book comprehensively explores the perception and use of clich駸 in language from these complementary perspectives. It draws data from a variety of both written and spoken sources, to re-interrogate and re-imagine the nature, role and usage of clich駸, identifying the innovative and creative ways in which the concepts are utilised in communication, interaction, and in self-presentation. Observing a rich, complex layering of usage, the authors deconstruct the many and varied ways in which clich駸 operate and are interdependently constructed; from the role they play in discourse in general, to their functions as argumentative strategies, as constructs of social cognition, as politeness strategies, and finally as markers of identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stella Bullo, Derek Bousfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108471633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108471633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2023","brand":"Stella Bullo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44130182463743,"sku":"9781108471633","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8c19405-e92f-4c26-b287-feb658702b37.jpg?v=1687467995","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/talking-in-clichs-stella-bullo-9781108471633","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
