paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines300 - : one genre to many genres and, today, might be said to be a medium more than a genre. Another significant contribution of North American genre theory is Bazerman's theory of genre systems. In complex activity systems, including those of formal schooling, there are typically many written genres, which participants use together to organize interactions. Bazerman (1994: 80) defines genre systems as "interrelated genres that interact with each other in specific settings". In the synthesis we are developing, we will describe these specific settings as activity systems, which genre systems mediate. In the genre system of some activity system, "only a limited range of genres may appropriately follow upon another" Bazerman (1994: 80 ), because the conditions for successful actions in each activity system are conditioned −but never finally determined− by their history of previous actions.

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines311 - : Within vertical discourse Bernstein makes a second distinction between hierarchical and horizontal knowledge structures. A hierarchical knowledge structure, exemplified by natural science disciplines, is "a coherent, explicit and systematically principled structure, hierarchically organised" which "attempts to create very general propositions and theories, which integrate knowledge at lower levels, and in this way shows underlying uniformities across an expanding range of apparently different phenomena" (Bernstein, 1999: 161-162 ). In contrast, a horizontal knowledge structure, exemplified by disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, is "a series of specialised languages with specialised modes of interrogation and criteria for the construction and circulation of texts" (Bernstein, 1999: 162).

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines311 - : As we can see, Bernstein is making a distinction here: first between the everyday practical discourse that students bring to education and the academic discourse that education has evolved to research and teach; and secondly, within academic discourse, between the kind of technically integrated knowledge constructed in science and the less technical, more segmental understandings built up in the social sciences and humanities. Bernstein distinguishes these academic knowledge structures along two dimensions which Muller (2007) terms verticality and grammaticality. First, verticality conceptualises how theories progress -via ever more integrative or general propositions that embrace a wider range of empirical phenomena, or via the introduction of a new language which, as Bernstein (1996: 162 ) describes, constructs a "fresh perspective, a new set of questions, a new set of connections, and an apparently new problematic, and most importantly a new set of speakers".

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines311 - : discussing and how. In contrast, horizontal knowledge structures such as history may have a hierarchical knower structure: "a systematically principled and hierarchical organisation of knowers based on the construction of an ideal knower and which develops through the integration of new knowers at lower levels and across an expanding range of different dispositions" (Maton, 2010: 162 ). In short, what matters more is who you are. Fields are thus knowledge-knower structures which classify, assign, arrange and hierarchise not only what but also who is considered legitimate (Maton, to appear).

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines364 - : CSR and a relative lack of consistency in its adoption by companies, or rather a lack of a universal standard, as not all companies disclose social responsibility and the ones that do vary both in terms of quality and quantity, has stirred a fairly contentious debate. On the one hand, there are those who believe that the corporation is a legal construct concerned with only two primary responsibilities bestowed by the law- making money for owners and obeying the minimal, relevant rules; and on the other hand, there are those who believe the corporation is a social organism and hence bears duties of any good citizen, thus "entailing a wider range of economic, legal, ethical, moral, and philanthropic responsibilities" ( Jamali & Mirshak, 2007: 245 ). Whatever the motivation or persuasion, rhetorically speaking, corporations need to engage in CSR discourse, which is essentially a reporting genre, through which corporations report their actions that they may have taken to meet their obligations

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines417 - : Regarding the diachronic-synchronic axis, according to Stewart (2010), there is a tendency to use both diachronic and synchronic criteria when approaching semantic prosody, without being aware of the differences that each approach involves. As for the diachronic point of view, semantic prosody is defined as an attached meaning or as a meaning which is transferred from one word to another during the course of time (Stewart, 2010). In his critical evaluation of semantic prosody, Stewart (2010) summarizes how this phenomenon has been approached within a diachronic framework, where we can find a wide range of metaphors describing semantic prosody as a meaning transferable to an item over time:

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines426 - : According to Yang (2011: 129), “a text, whether in its written or oral realization, is closely related to the concepts of space and time”, and “every utterance token is spatio-temporary unique, being spoken or written at a particular place and at a particular time. Thus, the second set of analyses deals with the spatial (or local) and time adverbial deictic references based on two-level ‘distance’ range with the speaker as a referent point, or ‘the centre of conceptualization’ (Yang, 2011): distal vs . proximal, where proximal pole is considered to be more close to the speaker and the distal one – closer to the addressee (Stawarska, 2008; Cornish, 2011):

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines471 - : autoras aquí son más cautelosas sobre la intuición de los hablantes: “It seems that it is almost impossible to answer the question of whether or not language users have accurate intuitions about collocation frequency; it all depends on the frequency range in question […]” (^[155]Siyanova & Spina, 2015: 555 ).
