This comprehensive volume presents a diverse collection of linguistics papers presented at the 14th International Conference on English and American Literature and Language, held at the Institute of English Studies, Jagiellonian University, in Kraków, Poland, from April 20 to 22, 2017. Part 1 (chapters 1-8) delves into the analysis of various linguistic phenomena observed in naturally occurring data, while Part 2 (chapters 9-13) focuses on applied linguistics, making it particularly valuable for teachers and educators. The text types explored in Part 1 span a wide range, including online charity materials, Facebook posts, political texts, obituaries, tourism advertisements, and nail polish labels. Part 2, in turn, examines the role of critical cultural awareness and the development of summarization strategies in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context, as well as explores the usefulness of new vocabulary learning tools like Memrise. It also introduces readers to the challenges faced by PhD candidates outside academia and raises awareness of the benefits of Active Learning in tertiary education. The volume is meticulously designed to cater to the needs of PhD students, researchers, educators, and anyone with a deep interest in linguistics.
