Signalling Nouns in English: A Corpus-Based Discourse Approach - Studies in English Language
Flowerdew, John (City University of Hong Kong)
This study explores 'signalling nouns' - nouns whose meaning can only be determined by the context in which they are used. It investigates how they function in academic discourse, what their semantic properties are, and the linguistic environments in which they can and cannot occur.
