This work, together with the previously published Basic English Syntax (2019), contains a discussion of the core syntactic phenomena which characterize the English language and proposes a principled explanation for them. In particular, this volume investigates rather complex syntactic constructions, such as infinitival clauses, relative clauses or clauses with a marked word order. Gloria Cocchi teaches General Linguistics at the University of Urbino.

Il volume affronta il tema della comunicazione pubblica nell’era digitale e della cittadinanza multiculturale, con particolare attenzione al linguaggio amministrativo in altre lingue, specialmente in inglese, francese, spagnolo, arabo e cinese. Come mostrano i saggi, il tema dell’intermediazione informatica delle informazioni, di eccezionale attualità in tempi di epidemia globale, non si esaurisce nella pur problematica trasmissione di dati, ma presenta risvolti culturali e politici, talvolta preoccupanti, di centrale importanza per le società di oggi.

Higher education, which is undergoing a shift due to an increase in digitalization worldwide, needs to refocus its teaching practices by designing flexible courses catering to students’ multifarious post-pandemic needs. The present volume provides a digitally-enhanced framework suitable for designing and implementing flexible courses in English-Taught Programs (ETPs). Language awareness, a key component of ETPs, is especially examined within a Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) framework.

This book is the outcome of a series of reflections concerning some of the major difficulties Italian healthcare researchers and students often encounter when writing academic articles in English. The contents of the volume are informed by an interdisciplinary approach based mainly on the PICO model, a mnemonic expedient used in Evidence-Based Medicine and referring to the four elements typical of clinical inquiry (Patient/Problem, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome) and the possible harbinger of recovery.
