John Rupert Firth’s scientific contributions

... As such, it exists on the metrical tier and requires a metrical foot to surface. For similar analyses of glottalization as a prosodic feature, see Bradley (1970), Firth (1948), Penner (2019), Pike and Small (1974 The constraint which captures this relationship between metrical structure and glottalization is FOOT{ʔ} (67). Since the glottal stop is a feature of metrical foot, it needs to a metrical foot to surface, but its exact position with the foot is determined through a ranking of different constraints. ...

... The project has clear affinities with CDA scholars' work in dissecting the history of concepts, and the very foundations of epistemology, in part applying a Foucauldian/discursive perspective to the analysis of various texts (see, for instance, Koller and Davidson, 2008;Krzyżanowski, 2016;Mautner, 2005;Musolff, 2007;Zappettini and Unerman, 2016); by necessity, it thereby traces the 'conceptual history' of terms, i.e. it reviews their evolution within their contexts (Begriffsgeschichte) (Brunner et al. 1972(Brunner et al. -1997. My methodological approach, therefore, is rooted in the neo-Firthian (Firth, 1935) concordance-based analysis of collocationthe study of the contextual meaning of a word as it is formed "in the characteristic associations that the word participates in, alongside other words or structures with which it frequently cooccurs" (McEnery and Hardie, 2011: 123). Simply put, I attempt to discover, not only the trajectories of words in history, but also the (added) semantic prosody of the lexemes under investigation, i.e. their attitudinal/evaluative or other pragmatic 'colouring' or stance (usually positive or negative) as given by their co-text (McEnery and Hardie, 2011: 135-142;see also, Bednarek, 2008;Hunston, 2007;Hauser and Schwarz, 2023). ...
