According to the Bible, a disrespectful use of God’s name may be perceived as blasphemous or at least profane. In order to avoid the risk of violating that religious and linguistic taboo, sensitive language users representing the Judeo-Christian world have developed various euphemistic ways of referring to God. On the other hand, however, jokes that include God’s name and laugh at him are not uncommon in Western culture. Assuming a linguistic-semantic perspective, the present paper examines a group of “God jokes”, which are jokes that contain God’s name and were tagged with the word god in the collection entitled “The best god jokes”, published on the website unijokes.com. The aim of the study is to identify the place and role of God’s name in the semantic script of “God jokes”, or in other words, to check “how much” God there really is in the text of jokes that are supposed to laugh at God, potentially violating the religious taboo. Following the General Theory of Verbal Humor (Raskin and Attardo 1991; Attardo 2001), the use of God’s name is analyzed in the knowledge resources of the semantic script of a joke: the target, the script opposition, the situation, the narration, and the language.

The paper deals with the problem of defi nite article in the Gothic Bible. More specifi cally, it concentrates on the differences and similarities of use between the target language, i.e. Gothic, and the source language, i.e. Greek, with special attention being paid to the case of the article – nominative, genitive, dative or accusative. It is part of a larger endeavor aiming at the analysis of the whole Gothic Bible in this respect. This time the Gospel of John is taken into consideration, following an earlier study which concentrated on the Gospel of Matthew. In the paper it will not only be observed how frequently Gothic omits the defi nite article in places where Greek uses it in the Gospel of John, but also in what way the cases of the defi nite article vary in both languages due to their grammatical specifi cities.

Applying frame semantics, usage-based construction grammar, and quantitative corpus-based methodology, this article seeks to explore the nature of the extraposed construction with past participles complemented by that -clauses. To this end, the author extracts the occurrences of the It BE V en that-construction from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), determines its structural, semantic, distributional, and discourse-functional features, and identifies verbs that are strongly associated with the construction in question. The study meaningfully contributes to a growing body of research on it-extraposition by conducting a qualitative and quantitative analysis of one of its variants, a grammatical pattern with past participles that has not been hitherto investigated in much detail from a quantitative corpus-based perspective.
本文运用框架语义、基于用法的结构语法和基于定量语料库的方法，试图探索过去分词与that从句互补的推断结构的本质。为此，作者从《当代美国英语语料库》中提取了It BE V en that结构的出现，确定了其结构、语义、分布和语篇功能特征，并确定了与该结构密切相关的动词。这项研究通过对其变体之一进行定性和定量分析，为越来越多的关于其推断的研究做出了有意义的贡献，该变体是一种带有过去分词的语法模式，迄今为止尚未从基于定量语料库的角度进行过太多详细的研究。

The paper investigates the issue of motivation of a subcategory of nouns called by Quirk et al. (1985: 303) and Huddleston & Pullum (2002: 345), respectively, unmarked plural nouns and uninflected plural-only nouns. These are nouns with untypical, from the perspective of the majority of English nouns, properties: their form, despite the plural designation, is singular. Adopting the general cognitive perspective on motivation in language (e.g. Lakoff 1987; Heine 1997; Radden, Panther 2004; Gibbs 2005; Panther, Radden 2011, etc.), the paper analyses whether such irregular properties of uninflected plural-only nouns can be motivated by one of the factors shaping visual experience – Gestalt principles of perception (e.g. Koffka 1936; Pomerantz 1981; Rock & Palmer S. 1990; Palmer S. 1999).
本文研究了由Quirk et al.(1985: 303)和Huddleston & Pullum(2002: 345)分别命名的名词子类别的动机问题，即未标记复数名词和未屈折复数名词。从大多数英语名词的角度来看，这些名词具有不典型的属性:它们的形式尽管是复数形式，但却是单数形式。采用一般认知视角研究语言动机(如Lakoff 1987;海涅1997;拉登，《黑豹》2004;吉布斯2005年;Panther, Radden 2011等)，本文分析了非屈折复数名词的这种不规则特性是否可以由形成视觉经验的因素之一-知觉的格式塔原则(例如Koffka 1936;Pomerantz 1981;Rock & Palmer S. 1990;Palmer S. 1999)。

Adopting the standpoint of Construction Grammar (Goldberg 2006) and the corpus-based method known as Distinctive-Collexeme Analysis (Gries and Stefanow-itsch 2004; Hilpert 2014), the investigation seeks to identify lexemes that indicate a strong preference either for the it is ADJ to V-construction or the it is ADJ that-construction. On the basis of data extracted from the academic sub-corpus of COCA, the study reveals that there are adjectives exhibiting a strong preference for one construction instead of the other, and that the constructions have a tendency to occur with adjectives evoking different semantic frames.
采用构造语法的观点（Goldberg 2006）和基于语料库的方法，即区分学院词分析（Gries和Stefanow itsch 2004；Hilpert 2014），本研究试图识别出强烈倾向于it is ADJ to V构造或it is ADJ.that构造的词元。基于从COCA学术子语料库中提取的数据，研究表明，有些形容词表现出对一种结构的强烈偏好，而不是对另一种结构，并且这些结构倾向于与唤起不同语义框架的形容词一起出现。

English in India evokes connotations of worldliness, education, class, and power. Although many less socially fortunate groups lack in the English language competence, its presence in the Indian street is increasing, and not only in the context of tourism and marketing. The investigation of the linguistic landscapes of a number of localities in northern India will focus on public service advertisements written in English which convey guidelines for the creation of a healthier Indian society. The study, informed by the rhetoric of social intervention approach, investigates the choice and the frequency of the persuasive rhetorical devices used in the texts. It also discusses which of the three modes of persuasion typically underlie the analysed advertisements, thereby highlighting the preferred approach to tackling local issues and, indirectly, contributing to strengthening the role of English through the positive perception of the messages conveyed.
