paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines158 - : "The theory on which this description is based, systemic theory, follows in the European functional tradition. It is largely based on Firth´s system–structure theory, but derives more abstract principles from Hjelmslev and owes many ideas to the Prague school. The organizing concept is that of the ‘system’, which is used essentially in Firth´s sense of a functional paradigm but developed into the formal construct of a ‘system network’" (Halliday, 1994: xxvi ).

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines198 - : This article analyzes the use of discursive reformulation markers in bibliographical and diagnosis reports written by psychology students in their second and fourth years of university. The objective is to compare the functions this resource introduces on two levels of specialized knowledge. For analytical purposes, a classification table was drawn up, following the work of Martín and Portolés (1999), Fuentes (1996) and Casado (1991). Application of this construct helps suggest that an increase in specialized knowledge as well as an appropriation of a discursive genre become evident in, among others, the use of more complex reformulation strategies, such as introducing information with basically two purposes: to give an in-depth presentation of a content previously introduced or to equivalently present information between segments .

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines268 - : "We have to use two different languages in discussing the problem of the definition of truth and, more generally, any problem in the field of semantics. The first of these languages is the language which is 'talked about' and which is the subject matter of the whole discussion; the definition of truth we are seeking applies to the sentences of this language. The second is the language in which we 'talk about' the first language, and in terms of which we wish, in particular, to construct the definition of truth for the first language" (Tarski, 1944: 349 )^[26]2.

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines295 - : language teaching/learning, the main problem with this pre-communicative approach was the fact that it equated context with setting. As Halliday (1978: 10) points out, "the context of situation is a theoretical construct for explaining how a text relates to the social processes within which it is located", and consists of three components: the main social activity taking place, the people involved in it (plus the way they relate to one another ), and the roles and functions of the text within this social activity −known technically in systemic functional linguistics as 'field', tenor and mode. The setting, on the other hand, consists immediate of the linguistic event material environment (in a sales encounter, for example, the setting is the shop or company where the event is taking place), and can be seen as a manifestation of the context, but not as the context of situation itself.

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines433 - : In this article we approach the construction of authorial voice in doctorate theses of a humanistic discipline: philosophy . Our purpose is to illustrate, based on an exploratory study focused on the identification of marks of the first person and attribution, the way in which doctorate candidates construct an identity as writers/researchers according to the requirements of the discourse genre in this area. The results show that dissertation writers have a strong tendency to construct their identity as specialists who master the disciplinary content; however, the times, when they incorporate the role of author-researchers, are rare. This fact leads us to open discussion as regards the training of researchers in the area of Humanities, and the need to propose intervention plans concerning academic and scientific literacy, which allow graduates of these programs to become writers who raise the visibility of the field in local and international academic contexts.

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines500 - : The image impression construction might resemble ‘putting’ verbs in the locative construction since in both cases something is placed on a surface, but differs in the sense that with ‘creation’ verbs (e.g. ‘engrave’, ‘imprint’, ‘tattoo’, etc.), as a result of the event described by the verb, a new entity is created (i.e. a tattoo, an inscription, etc.). These verbs are ascribed to the Aktionsart active accomplishment, a type of event that is not changed by the construction. The kernel construct of these verbs in FunGramKB (exemplified in (11)) involves two arguments whose thematic roles, as explained in Section 1, are defined according to their metaconceptual distribution: a Theme, which in the metaconcept #CREATION is defined as the entity that creates another (‘members’ in example (11 )) and a Referent, conceived as the entity that is created by another entity (‘their initials’ in (11)). It is also common to find a prepositional phrase that should be analysed as an adjunct (an op

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines500 - : The location subject construction also involves a change of Aktionsart class, since ‘fit’ verbs in the kernel construct are causative states (where we have an activity predicate causing a state: x does something that causes y be in z), whereas the L-1 construction codifies states with two arguments: the first argument position (‘a large cafeteria’ in (16 )) is a location argument whose capacity is specified by the second argument (‘300 people’ in (16)). In terms of macrorole assignment, and following the default Actor selection principle, the highest ranking argument in the logical structure must be assigned Actor (the participant responsible for the state of affairs, i.e. the logical subject), and the lowest ranking argument must be assigned Undergoer (the logical object in the state of affairs) following the Undergoer selection principle for default linking (^[95]Van Valin, 2005).

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines577 - : Although, as noted, the discourse style of the proposals relies on features that make texts cognitively dense (e.g. the presence of nouns, prepositional phrases as nominal post-modifiers and dependent clauses, particularly relative clauses, non-finite relative clauses, that-noun complement clauses), this study also brings in the issue of colloquialisation in written texts in the Internet. The proposals contained linguistic features associated with academic written registers, such as verb phrases, action verbs, lexical verbs, modals and semi-modals (^[157]Biber & Gray, 2016), as well as colloquial features (deictics, person pronouns, intensifiers) encapsulated in nominal structures. These colloquial features even appeared in definitions of scientific terms were and descriptions scientific facts and procedures to construct “a mutual frame of reference” (^[158]Hyland, 2010: 213 ), as also happens in other digital genres such as science blogs and popularisations, online comments and reviews in
