About the Book

Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject English - Pedagogy, Didactics, Literature Studies, grade: 2,7, RWTH Aachen University, language: English, abstract: This term paper is concerned with shell nouns, more precisely with the shell nouns 'issue' and 'problem' and their frequency and function through different academic sub-disciplines. According to the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), both of these nouns are popular used in academic writing and are therefore worth investigating, especially in occasions they function as shell nouns since shell nouns are an important feature of academic writing.

Other eminently respectable scholars in the field of shell nouns are Halliday&Hasan (1976), who use the term general nouns, Francis (1986) who calls them anaphoric nouns, Ivanic (1991) uses the term carrier nouns and finally Schmid (2000) labels them as shell nouns. As the title of this term paper implies the term shell nouns, I will primarily refer to Schmid's research. Moreover, it is noticeable that the shell nouns 'issue' and 'problem' have an akin meaning, hence the question arises which shell noun is used more often through the different subdisciplines of academic texts and due to what reasons. And are there any similarities and/or differences in the use of the shell nouns 'issue' and 'problem' through the different subdisciplines of academic texts? The aim of my paper is to find answers for the before mentioned questions. In the following section, named conceptual framework, I will give a definition of shell nouns, demonstrate different patterns in which shell nouns are used and explain the functi
