Muerte en La Fenice

Autor: Donna Leon

Número de Páginas: 307

El renombrado director de orquesta Helmut Wellauer aparece muerto, envenenado con cianuro potásico, durante una representación de La Traviata en el célebre teatro veneciano de La Fenice. Hasta el comisario Guido Brunetti, acostumbrado a la laberíntica criminalidad de Venecia, se asombra de la cantidad de enemigos que el músico ha dejado en su camino a la cumbre. Pero ¿cuántos tenían motivos suficientes para matarlo? Conocido y querido ya por miles de lectores, el comisario Brunetti resuelve en esta sugerente novela policiaca su primer caso. Muerte en La Fenice fue galardonada en Japón con el prestigioso Premio Suntory a la mejor novela de intriga y convirtió en poco tiempo a Donna Leon en el gran boom de la novela policiaca en Europa. Un excelente comienzo.

Language Functions Revisited

Autor: Anthony Green

Número de Páginas: 305

The English Profile Programme is an elaboration of the performance level descriptions of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) that is concerned specifically with the English language. The CEFR has become influential in building a shared understanding of performance levels for foreign language learners. However, there is a considerable gap between the broad descriptions of levels provided, which covers a range of languages and learning contexts, and the level of detail required for applications such as syllabus or test design, which this volume addresses. With its combination of theoretical insights and practical advice, this is a useful work for academics, policy-makers, curriculum designers, textbook writers, postgraduate students and examination board staff.

The Big Beasts of English Grammar: An Exploration of Form and Function in Conversations

Autor: Christian Jones , Graham Burton

Número de Páginas: 233

What do we really know about how the grammar topics that seem to dominate language teaching are used in conversation? In this book, the authors explore some of the ‘big beasts’ of English grammar—those familiar structures like conditionals and reported speech that are often emphasised in syllabuses and textbooks. Drawing on a corpus of conversation data, the book provides new insights into how these structures actually function in real-life conversations, revealing how grammar teaching often overlooks key contextual uses. Aimed at teachers, researchers, and curriculum designers, the book encourages readers to rethink grammar explanations and instruction. It challenges long-standing rules and assumptions, also offering practical ideas on how to better incorporate grammar into lessons that focus on spoken English. Covering important grammar areas such as modal verbs, quantifiers, and comparatives, it’s a valuable resource for those interested in how grammar operates in real-world dialogue.
