English for Tourism
Description:
Cappelli, G. (2006) "Sun, Sea, Sex and the Unspoilt Countryside. How the English language makes tourists out of readers" provides an introductory overview of the way in which the English language is used in tourism discourse across genres. Through the detailed linguistic analysis of selected excerpts from written tourist materials (advertisements, brochures, travel articles, guidebooks, websites, travelogues, etc.), the major written genres of tourism discourse are introduced and the characteristics of "tourism English" as a type of specialized language are described.
