| description | This paper focuses on lexical
aspect making the core of the
Standard Marine Communication Phrases (SMCP)
–
the verbs. Given that the key
feature of this specific maritime sublanguage laid down by the International
Maritime Organization (IMO), the Standard Marine Communication Phrases i
s to
convey precise information in English between seafarers on board and in
external ship
-
to
-
ship and ship

shore communication at sea, the semantic
analysis of the verbs in the SMCP was carried out, applying theoretical
knowledge in the semantic domain
s of verbs (Biber et al., 1999) and verb
patterns (Francis et al., 1996). The discursive function of verbs and verb patterns,
as well as verb phrases making up idiomatic expressions in the SMCP, is
explained in the light of conceptual knowledge or knowledg
e of the professional
(maritime) setting in which they occur. This study also supports idea that results
of analysis carried out by the use of modern linguistic quantitative tools should
be incorporated in teaching SMCP phrases and presented to seafarers i
n the form
of e
-
documents like screenshots, concordance lists and formulaic structures. Due
to lack of time spent on shore, seafarers particularly benefit from computer
-
based learning and prefer economic and short information. |
