Back to the Future

Zusatztext

An awareness of diachronic development at all levels of language can enhance the learning and teaching of language and translation. This book illustrates this approach, adopting a variety of research methodologies. A diachronic perspective is applied to the pedagogy of English spelling, translation studies, bilingual education, approaches to teaching culture in CLIL, the development of a new multimodal genre, the lyrics video, aspects of modality in legal English, and the meaning shifts through time of the American lexeme dude.
