Abstract:
Drawing attention to a rather neglected domain in Construction Grammar analyses, this paper examines the multi-layered nature of speakers’ linguistic knowledge and its manifestation in the emergence of new linguistic structure. In particular, I show that the emergence of certain discourse-sensitive grammatical patterns can be systematically captured by appealing to an intricate interaction between fairly abstract constructional meanings based on metonymic transfer, lexical meanings of words (‘semantic’ frames), and particular discourse-pragmatic functions (‘discourse’ frames, understood as pragmatically grounded schematizations of communicative and discourse-structure conventions). It is the knowledge of all three dimensions that aids speakers in their interpretive tasks. The theoretical issues are demonstrated on a subset of discourse-functional and modal uses of the word jestli ‘if/whether’ in conversational Czech, as attested in the Czech National Corpus.

Abstract:
Faced with a rapidly ageing society and with constant technological progression, studies focused on fostering communicative action and reducing social isolation have become increasingly relevant. This paper presents a proposal of a graphical interface for an asynchronous communication service aimed at older adults, which was tested in different user contexts – both in Portugal and the United States of America. The main aims of this study are to determine to what extent the participation of older adults in the development of an email service can influence its usability and the design of a simplified interface. The usability results provide consistent clues as to how the technical development of an email service for older adults should proceed. We conclude that we should not design an email interface so as to be completely different from existing ones. Rather, we chose to improve its usability and simplify the entire process of using an email service.

Abstract:
Interactional misunderstandings in interviews are often glossed over in analysing narratives, so overlooking important clues about how interactants frame the interview discussion. Such misunderstandings will influence ongoing talk, shaping knowledge researchers produce about participants. We discuss whether interpretations of illness narratives may be enhanced if we analyse misunderstandings in conjunction with other contextually-available data not visible within interview transcripts. Using research interviews with people with asthma, we adopted linguistic ethnographic methods to analyse the manifestation and specific consequences of interactional tensions and misunderstandings between interviewer and interviewee. Misunderstandings can indicate inequalities in communicative expectations and discursive resources available to interactants, which may lead to participants’ talk being inappropriately identified as indicating a particular narrative. Incorporating ethnographic contextual features may make visible pertinent discourses not overtly evident within interviews. This may help theorise interview talk, like health and illness narratives, as manifesting within cycles of discourse that will intersect differently in each interaction.

Abstract:
In this article, we present the current state of our work on a linguistically-motivated model for automatic summarization of medical articles in Spanish. The model takes into account the results of an empirical study which reveals that, on the one hand, domain-specific summarization criteria can often be derived from the summaries of domain specialists, and, on the other hand, adequate summarization strategies must be multidimensional, i.e., cover various types of linguistic clues. We take into account the textual, lexical, discursive, syntactic and communicative dimensions. This is novel in the field of summarization. The experiments carried out so far indicate that our model is suitable to provide high quality summarizations.

Abstract:
This article explores communicative practices surrounding how nurses, patients and family members engage when talking about death and dying, based on study conducted in a province in northern Thailand. Data were collected from three environments: a district hospital (nine cases), district public health centres (four cases), and in patients’ homes (27 cases). Fourteen nurses, 40 patients and 24 family members gave written consent for participation. Direct observation and in-depth interviews were used for supplementary data collection, and 40 counselling sessions were recorded on video. The raw data were analysed using Conversation Analysis. The study found that Thai counselling is asymmetrical. Nurses initiated the topic of death by referring to the death of a third person – a dead patient – with the use of clues and via list-construction. As most Thai people are oriented to Buddhism, religious support is selected for discussing this sensitive topic, and nurses also use Buddhism and list-construction to help their clients confront uncertain futures. However, Buddhism is not brought into discussion on its own, but combined with other techniques such as the use of euphemisms or concern and care for others.

Abstract:
In the Ngaanyatjarra Lands in remote Western Australia children play a guessing game called mama mama ngunytju ngunytju ‘father father mother mother’. It is mainly girls who play the game, along with other members of their social network, including age-mates, older kin and adults. They offer clues about target referents and establish mutual understandings through multimodal forms of representation that include semi-conventionalized drawings on the sand. In this paper we show how speech, gesture, and graphic schemata are negotiated and identify several recurrent themes, particularly focusing on the domains of kinship and spatial awareness. We discuss the implications this case study has for understanding the changing nature of language socialization in remote Indigenous Australia. Multimodal analyses of games and other indirect teaching routines deepen our understandings of the acquisition of cultural knowledge and the development of communicative competence in this context.

Abstract:
Past research in referential communication has indicated normally developing children show developmental progression in ability to communicate a specific referent to a listener. In one paradigm subjects were given lists of word-pairs in which one member of each pair was designated as the referent. It was shown that communicating about referents found in word-pairs associated in some way was more difficult than communicating about referents in dissimilar word-pairs. The present study extended this methodology to learning-disabled children. Learning-disabled, language-learning-disabled, and normally achieving children were asked to communicate about 30 pictured referents on three different tasks. On Tasks 1 and 2 each subject was asked to give a clue for the referent that would distinguish it from the other picture. Stimuli for Task 1 were 30 pairs of pictures that were related in some way and the stimuli for Task 2 were 30 pairs of unrelated pictures. Task 3 required the subjects to evaluate the adequacy of the examiner's clues for Task 1 stimuli. The disabled subjects were matched to the normally achieving subjects on the basis of receptive vocabulary age. Few differences were noted among the groups' performances on these referential communication tasks. Implications include the importance of vocabulary and concept development to referential communication.

Full text
Abstract:
This article describes a previously undocumented deictic facial gesture of Papua New Guinea, which we call nose-pointing. Based on a video corpus of examples produced by speakers of Yupno, an indigenous language of Papua New Guinea’s Finisterre Range, we characterize the gesture’s morphology — which involves an effortful scrunching together of the face, or S-action, in combination with a deictic head movement — and illustrate its use in different interactive contexts. Yupno speakers produce the nose-pointing gesture in alternation with more familiar pointing morphologies, such as index finger and head-pointing, suggesting that the gesture carries a distinctive meaning. Interestingly, the facial morphological component of nose-pointing — the S-action — is also widely used non-deictically by Yupno speakers, and we propose that such uses provide crucial clues to the meaning of nose-pointing. We conclude by highlighting questions for further research, including precisely how nose-pointing relates to non-deictic uses of the S-action and what cultural and communicative pressures might have shaped the gesture.

Abstract:
AbstractThey are a good deal more than amusing (or embarrassing) errors of speech. The collection and analysis of such errors provides important clues to how speech is organized in the nervous system.Victoria A. Fromkin (1973: 110)Also, most current linguistics fails to consider various kinds of anomalous data which actually reveal very important information about the structure of the mental system which underlies our linguistic abilities, including slips of the tongue and unintentional puns.Sydney M. Lamb (1999: 9)AbstractThe socio-cognitive approach to pragmatics [SCA] is based on two fundamental hypotheses: (1) speaker and hearer are equal participants in the communicative process, (2) communication is the result of the interplay of intention and attention, as this interplay is motivated by the individuals’ private socio-cultural backgrounds. In this paper, I aim at showing that relational network theory (which has been mainly developed by the American neurolinguist Sydney M. Lamb) allow us to account not only for aspects corresponding to intention or attention, but also for “smooth communication” and “bumpy communication” (being the latter the dimension which includes unintended meanings). Four actual slips of the tongue will be relevant examples thanks to which it can be recognized how cooperation and intention are in a highly complex interaction together with the substantial elements of the individual traits: attention, private experience, egocentrism, and salience. Within this context, the relational account is epistemologically crucial. Firstly, it allows us to represent the neurocognitive structures that enable a person to produce or understand utterances. Secondly, it helps us to suggest that canonical pragmatics (like Speech Acts Theory, Gricean Pragmatics, Relevance Theory) cannot even consider actual and relevant phenomena like slips of the tongue, because they focus on cooperative intention and they neglect (or discard) egocentric attention.

Abstract:
Ambiguity implies that there are at least two distinct senses ascribed to one sign. It is in­herent to language and speech. In this article, I reflect on the types of ambiguity, its typology, production and effect and propose an algorithm for tackling ambiguity in translation. I posit that the choice of a translation strategy and the need for disambiguation in general depend on the type of ambiguity, its sources and character, i. e. whether ambiguity is intended or not. Intended ambiguity occurs when the speaker intentionally does not follow the logic of concep­tual clues (primes) and opts for a set of communicative strategies and linguistic means, which allow him/her to offer several possible interpretations of one event or even refer to several dif­ferent events. I explore a rarely analyzed event-referential ambiguity, which requires addi­tional conceptual information for disambiguation and, consequently, may pose a problem for translation. I argue that problems in disambiguation may occur for a variety of reasons: the translator and\or the recipient may have a wrong reference, have insufficient background knowledge to resolve the ambiguity or make wrong inferences since each recipient bears a different combination of cognitive, axiological, social, professional and gender attributes.

Abstract:
‘Minor sentences’ is one of the many terms used in the literature to refer to a phenomenon usually relegated to an obscure paragraph of the grammar book, or treated principally as a spoken discourse feature. These forms are also referred to as sentence fragments, incomplete sentences, verbless sentences, and nominal sentences, to name but a few of the terms found. Despite the marginal status attributed to the forms, more detailed study is warranted. Minor sentences occur frequently in the written language, and perform important communicative functions in a range of contexts. The term is used to refer to apparently complete phrases which do not conform to canonical sentence structure. Typically, they lack a subject noun phrase, or a finite verb, i.e. one of the two ‘essential’ elements of the sentence. In this paper, we begin with an overview of English and French grammar book and discourse analysis approaches. We then discuss previous studies of minor sentence contexts, French recipes and newspaper headlines, before turning to a corpus consisting of public signs and notices, headlines, advertising slogans, and crossword clues, in an effort to determine whether certain minor sentence types can be associated with particular (written) discourse functions.

Abstract:
The article concerns two legal and linguistic opinions which are a legal analysis of the article 158 item 1 of the Criminal Code. The authors claim that this regulation (its wording) has been a considerable divergence ever since the Criminal Code entered into force in 1997. Legally, it means the divergence between what the legislator said and what he possibly intended to say. According to the authors, the legislator’s communicative intention was not implemented in this case. The reason for this was the fact that the analized fragment (the article 158 item 1) of the legal text (the current Criminal Code in Poland), which is an important tool for social impact, does not meet the demands made for legal texts: clarity, comprehension, and explicitness. The divergence shown in the article is associated with the legislator’s use of the pronoun “which/who” and the phrase “the man is exposed to occurrence”. Morover, the analysis of the article 158 item 1 of the Criminal Code conducted by the authors contains clues. They allow this regulation to be drafted in such a way as to reflect the intentions of the legislator.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTBackground: In Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, deficits in contextual understanding and intentions/beliefs of other people (theory of mind; ToM) cause communication problems between patients and caregivers. To evaluate deficits of contextual understanding/ToM, we developed the Pitfall Intention Explanation Task with Clue Questions (Pitfall task).Methods: We recruited 26 healthy older adults in clinical dementia rating (CDR) 0, and 62 outpatients: 12 with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) in CDR 0.5; 36 mild AD in CDR 1; and 14 moderate AD in CDR 2. The Pitfall task consists of a single-frame cartoon that shows a character's intention and seven serial questions that provide clues for contextual understanding/ToM.Results: The total score (0–7) was decreased with progression of AD (CDR 0, 5.4 ± 2.6; CDR 0.5, 3.7 ± 2.7; CDR 1, 1.9 ± 3.1; CDR 2, 0.0 ± 0.0; respectively). In CDR 0, two-third of the participants responded correctly without clue questions. In CDR 0.5, one-third of the participants responded correctly without clue questions, and half of them understood with the help of the clue questions. In CDR 1, one-fourth of the participants responded correctly without clue questions, and the clue questions did not increase the correct response. In CDR 2, none responded correctly. Additionally, the Pitfall task provided the chance for patients’ families to observe patients’ responses.Conclusion: Contextual understanding/ToM, a kind of social cognition, was impaired with progression of AD. The Pitfall task evaluates the function quickly with low burden for memory function, and may provide helpful clues for caregivers to achieve good communication with AD patients.

Abstract:
Abstract Individuals diagnosed with psychotic disorders exhibit abnormalities in the perception of expressive behaviors, which are linked to symptoms and visual information processing domains. Specifically, literature suggests these groups have difficulties perceiving gestures that accompany speech. While our understanding of gesture perception in psychotic disorders is growing, gesture perception abnormalities and clues about potential causes and consequences among individuals meeting criteria for a clinical high-risk (CHR) syndrome is limited. Presently, 29 individuals with a CHR syndrome and 32 healthy controls completed an eye-tracking gesture perception paradigm. In this task, participants viewed an actor using abstract and literal gestures while presenting a story and eye gaze data (eg, fixation counts and total fixation time) was collected. Furthermore, relationships between fixation variables and both symptoms (positive, negative, anxiety, and depression) and measures of visual information processing (working memory and attention) were examined. Findings revealed that the CHR group gazed at abstract gestures fewer times than the control group. When individuals in the CHR group did gaze at abstract gestures, on average, they spent significantly less time fixating compared to controls. Furthermore, reduced fixation (ie, count and time) was related to depression and slower response time on an attentional task. While a similar pattern of group differences in the same direction appeared for literal gestures, the effect was not significant. These data highlight the importance of integrating gesture perception abnormalities into vulnerability models of psychosis and inform the development of targeted treatments for social communicative deficits.

Abstract:
Acquiring the adequate communication style is a vital element in trainers’ profession. This research aims to reveal the effects generated via the communicative style by trainers of fitness club customers. It also intends to explore whether communication style has any relation to the regularity of class attendance as well as to the length of training periods which is conceptualised in this paper as trainers’ economic efficiency. Data collection was carried out by structured interviews in a country-side large sport centre. Trainers with at least three training sessions per week (N=20) and their groups (N=160) were interviewed using Rudas (1994) communication style survey and additional selfdeveloped interview protocols. The results revealed that the examined trainers were distributed in all four communications styles, but showing dominance in aggressive and passive styles. The classes of trainers with aggressive and assertive communication style were those that showed the highest and maintained attendance rates. It seems, that classes held by trainers who communicate in a deliberate way and convey positive messages are attended more and in a sustained way. Accordingly, their precisely set targets and explanation of training sessions content correlated with repeated attendance and customer retention. It seems that groups with extended scope of communication are characterised by stronger group cohesion where social relationships could develop easier, which have relations to perseverance and commitment. Therefore development of trainers’ communication skills may be considered as an effective tool for fitness clubs for customer retention. JEL code: Z20

Coaches are widely regarded as playing an important role in the development of comprehensive community sport clubs, in terms of meeting the needs of club members and club staff. However, few studies have explored the coaching activities of comprehensive community sport clubs in Japan. This study, therefore, aimed to examine the effect of coaching behaviors in comprehensive community sport clubs on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. One hundred seventy-seven coaches completed questionnaires assessing coaching behaviors in comprehensive community sport clubs, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. The scale measuring coaching behaviors in comprehensive community sport clubs was comprised of seven factors: (1) manner education, (2) cooperative approach, (3) field management, (4) coaching skills, (5) communication with people outside the club, (6) communication with people inside the club, and (7) safety management. Path analysis with structural equation modeling revealed cooperative approach and field management influenced job satisfaction. The study additionally indicated job satisfaction positively impacted organizational commitment. Furthermore, communication with people inside the club directly influenced on organizational commitment. Thus, it was concluded that creating a sporting environment in which coaches can behave autonomously, as well as providing a space where coaches can communicate with many people, are necessary preconditions to increase job satisfaction and organizational commitment of coaches in comprehensive community sport clubs.

The role of reading in the process of formation of communicative competence was analyzed. The essence of the concept of competence in reading was defined. The main factors influencing the effectiveness of formation of reading skills in English were defined (the features of perception of written texts – time spent on text processing and length of the text; psychophysiological and individual age features of the students – visual perception of the text, the features of mental operations – ability to analyze and make the conclusions, memory, in particular, visual, attention, intelligence, ability to use the experience of reading in the native language, motivation, the presence of cognitive interest, the ability to apply different reading strategies, etc.; the characteristics of the text – authentic, semi-authentic, adapted texts, compliance with cognitive interests, age and level of language proficiency of the students, etc.). Different classifications of types of reading and their application at different stages of English language learning were analyzed (by the target: educational and introductory search; by the method of content disclosure: analytical and synthetic; by the participation of the native language: translated and non-translated; by the nature of the implementation of the semantic side of perception and processing of the text: reading with incomplete understanding and reading with full understanding; by the nature of the organization of activity: prepared with the removed difficulties – training and unprepared without previously removed difficulties – control; depending on the length: extensive and intensive; by the fact of relation to the educational process: educational and real; by the way of using a bilingual dictionary: reading with or without a dictionary; by the place of organization of reading: classwork or homework). The features of different reading strategies were analyzed (predicting, monitoring, confirming, connecting, questioning, skimming, scanning, distinguishing, using context clues, paraphrasing or summarizing, visualizing). The features of different stages of learning to read were described (pre-reading, while-reading, after-reading). The requirements for the texts for reading in English were generalized. The levels of comprehension of the texts and typical tasks appropriate for each level was given (fragmentary understanding, general understanding, full understanding, critical understanding).

Abstract:
Traditional engineering curricula often do not provide opportunities for students to experience working with non-technical collaborators on real projects. Such interactions may help engineering students develop relevant communication skills. In this study, junior level engineering students collaborated with junior level elementary education students to develop afterschool STEM clubs for elementary children. The study sought to identify the effects of a cross-disciplinary, project-based service-learning experience on: a) the development of a deeper understanding of engineering as a discipline and b) the development of skills necessary to communicate technical information to a non-technical audience. This paper describes the learning outcomes achieved by engaging undergraduate engineering students in cross-disciplinary working relationships. The results suggest that the cross-disciplinary experience affected learning in the knowledge, skills, attitudes and identity of student participants. Student learning was assessed through analysis of questionnaire responses and student reflections. The results also confirmed that simply knowing technical information does not correlate with the ability to communicate that same information. Students reported that they gained experience communicating technical content with non-technical audiences and developed leadership skills. Opportunities to learn communication skills were identified through student comments in course questionnaires and end of the semester focus group discussions.

In this short review, we will focus on the uniqueness of ciliary extracellular vesicles (EVs). In particular, we will review what has been learned regarding EVs produced by cilia of model organisms. Model systems including Chlamydomonas, Caenorhabditis elegans, and mouse revealed the fundamental biology of cilia and flagella and provide a paradigm to understand the roles of cilia and flagella in human development, health, and disease. Likewise, we propose that general principles learned from model systems regarding ciliary EV biogenesis and functions may provide a framework to explore the roles of ciliary EVs in human development, health, and disease.

Abstract:
The development of “new” media and the financial investment in football since the early 1990s have dramatically changed the football club–media relationship. A number of clubs changed ownership and organizational structure for financial gain or financial survival while the increasing demand for immediate information led to clubs’ recognizing the importance of external communication. Drawing on 47 semistructured interviews with media personnel and 827 questionnaires completed by supporters at 4 football clubs, this article assesses the organizational structure of clubs in dealing with the media and supporters and the level of dependence between clubs and the external media. The results highlight changes in the organizational structure of clubs and their strategies for external communication, as well as the contrasting relationships between football clubs and the external media. As ownership and personnel changes occur, clubs should remember the importance of the 2-way relationships they are in with supporters and the media.

Abstract:
Social-media platforms have become an important tool for sport marketers to communicate their brand image and engage with fans. This study analyzed 1,115 Facebook posts and 16,308 tweets from 10 of the most valuable European professional football clubs to identify the range of brand associations communicated and the level of online fan engagement. Statistical analysis captured correlations between and among selected brand attributes, time periods of posts (in and off-season), and levels of fan engagement. On both Facebook and Twitter, football clubs posted more frequently during the season, while content associated with product-related attributes was the focus of such communication. Product-related content was found to generate higher levels of online fan engagement. The study extends the literature on sport teams’ brand management through social media and offers practical recommendations on how to enhance fan identification and engagement and ultimately make financial and reputational gains.

Abstract:
In pragmatics, language is understood in context, taking into consideration the speaker, the addressee, their interaction, background information and the situation of communication. Therefore the speakers make utterances taking account of the context of communication and the cognitive environment between them and the audience. The perspective of the Relevance Theory is that the speaker gives a clue to the audience on their intention which will help the audience infer into the message with the consideration of the context. This study is based on the assumption that in naming and describing in two Cameroonian plays, What God has Put Asunder by Victor Epie’Ngome and Family Saga by Bole Butake, the intention of the playwrights go beyond what is literally communicated. The plays can only be interpreted with contextual knowledge and historical clues that tell the story of Southern Cameroons from colonisation to the present. Cameroon is a country that was colonised by both Britain and France and today is bilingual with both English and French as official languages. Britain colonised just a small portion, so out of the 10 Regions of the country only 2 Regions, North West and South West, are English Speaking. Epie’Ngome and Butake are English speaking Cameroonians and in their plays protest against the marginalisation of Anglophones by the Francophone dominated government in Cameroon. The study uncovers data from the plays, revealing historical connection of the plays to Cameroon, especially issues related to the Anglophone Problem.

‘Escape rooms’ are a recent cultural phenomena, whereby a group of ‘players’, often friends or colleagues, are ‘locked’ in a room and must solve a series of clues, puzzles, or mysteries in order to ‘escape’. Escape rooms are increasingly appearing in a range of settings, including science centres and museums, libraries and university programmes, but what role can an escape room play in science communication? In this commentary, we explore the emerging literature on escape rooms as well as thoughts from a small number of escape room creators in the U.S. and U.K.

Abstract:
There is a shared lasting concern in both developed and developing countries regarding the low rates of participating women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). In this context, one of the most frequent actions is the development of STEM and coding workshops as a way to increase the presence of women in these fields. The main object of this article is not only to provide a description of the programs that support girls into STEM, but also to make a critical analysis of their design. This research employs the content analysis approach, a technique to make replicable and valid inferences from texts. The methodology sample came from a comprehensive review of 64 programs announced online that aim to support the incorporation of girls and women into STEM, particularly Information technology. As the final outcomes will show, besides the high popularity of these programs, there are important questionings regarding their design and implementation, particularly about the effectiveness of their actions in reducing the problems associated with the digital gender divide and the inclusion of women into STEM academia and STC industry. Acabar amb la bretxa digital de gènere, ¿els clubs de programació són una solució viable? Hi ha una preocupació compartida entre països desenvolupats i en vies de desenvolupament respecte a les baixes taxes de dones en àrees STEM (ciència, tecnologia, enginyeria i matemàtiques). En aquest context, una de les estratègies més freqüents és el desenvolupament de tallers per aprendre a programar i de cursos amb activitats relacionades amb disciplines STEM, amb la finalitat d’augmentar la presència de dones en aquestes àrees. L’objectiu principal d’aquest article no és tan sols proporcionar una descripció dels programes que donen suport a la inclusió de les nenes en la ciència, sinó també fer-ne una anàlisi crítica sobre el disseny i la implementació. Aquesta investigació utilitza la tècnica d’anàlisi de contingut, una tècnica que permet fer inferències vàlides i replicables des dels textos. La mostra estadística de la metodologia prové d’una revisió exhaustiva de 64 programes anunciats en línia que tenen l’objectiu de donar suport a la incorporació de nenes i dones en les disciplines STEM, sobretot en les tecnologies de la informació. Els resultats finals demostren que, tot i la gran popularitat d’aquests programes, se’ls qüestiona força pel que fa a la seva execució, especialment l’efectivitat de les seves accions per reduir la bretxa digital de gènere i la inclusió de les dones en la ciència. Key words: Digital gender divide, STEM girls, empowerment, coding clubs, gen¬der inequality. Paraules clau: bretxa digital de gènere, nenes STEM, empoderament, clubs de programació, iniquitat de gènere.

Abstract:
This experiment investigated how complexity of the presented clues and need-for-cognition affect crime fiction enjoyment. A short murder story, divided into four segments, was presented to 154 participants. Complexity was manipulated as three-step factor through combinations of clues hinting toward either suspect A or B in the first three segments, while the last segment revealed the culprit. Readers indicated suspicions and enjoyment after each segment. Finally, respondents reported overall enjoyment and affective responses before completing the need-for-cognition scale. Results for enjoyment of the entire mystery and during reception show that higher complexity was generally enjoyed less. Furthermore, need-for-cognition affected enjoyment in curvilinear fashion overall, with medium need-for-cognition resulting in greater enjoyment. Respondents with high need-for-cognition were an exception in that they enjoyed medium complexity during mystery exposure the most.

Abstract:
The need to review goals, objectives and teaching methods in the process of teaching foreign languages in Ukraine in connection with the rapid entry of Ukraine into the world community, which, in its turn, leads to changes in both general methodology and specific methods, and techniques in the theory and practice of teaching foreign languages is discussed in the paper. It is noted that the main purpose of learning a foreign language is the formation of a linguistic personality who is ready for real, productive com- munication with representatives of other cultures at different levels and in different spheres of life. At the forefront is the need for verbal support for intercultural communication. Emphasis is placed on the fact that an integrative approach to foreign language teaching is especially important in the context of intercultural dialogue, which assumes that the interaction of different worldviews presented by communicators in- cludes their logics, thinking, values and is not blocked but stimulated by mutual understanding, tolerance, positive attitude. It is emphasized that relations are intercultural if their participants do not resort to their own traditions, customs, ideas and ways of behavior, but get acquainted with other people’s rules and norms of everyday communication. Intercultural communication requires that the sender and recipient of the message belong to different cultures. It also requires participants in communication to be aware of each other’s cultural differences. In essence, intercultural communication is always interpersonal communication in a special context, when one par- ticipant discovers the cultural difference of another.It is also said that successful intercultural communication involves, in addition to foreign language proficiency, the ability to adequately interpret the communicative behavior of a representative of a foreign society, as well as the willingness of partic- ipants to perceive other forms of communicative behavior, understanding its differences and variation from culture to culture. The strategy of convergence of non-cultural knowledge is aimed at preventing not only semantic but also cultural failures in communication.

Abstract:
One of the goals of education is to develop learners with strong reading and comprehension skills. Memorandum No. 173 s. 2019 of the Department of Education strongly encouraged all elementary and secondary public schools to intensify their advocacy for independence in reading in all grade levels and align the promotion of reading culture as the key in closing achievement gaps in producing productive citizens. It is a fact that many Filipino learners struggle to meet the standards in English communication and language. Given the literature gap, this study determined the level of context clues knowledge and level of reading comprehension skills of Grade 10 students in the three-class programs: Basic Education Curriculum (BEC), Science Technology (STE), and the Strengthened Technical Vocational Education Program (STVEP) of a public junior high school in the Division of Bacolod City. The study also determined the difference in the level of context clues knowledge and level of reading comprehension skills of the students when grouped according to class programs and explored the relationship between context clues knowledge and reading comprehension skills.

Abstract:
The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) is a major stakeholder in promoting smoke-free policies in Ireland. Several GAA clubs have adopted smoke-free policies, and there is a growing interest among other GAA clubs to also become smoke-free. As such, the purpose of this study is to explore the process of how GAA clubs adopt, implement, and enforce smoke-free policies in order to discover best practices that other clubs could replicate. Representatives from 15 smoke-free clubs were interviewed regarding how their club became smoke-free. Interview data were analyzed, in which four major themes emerged: (1) process (planning a smoke-free policy, communicating the policy to the community, providing smoking cessation resources), (2) barriers (opinions and behaviors of club members who smoke, bars connected to club houses, policy exceptions, visitors and umpires who were unaware of the policy), (3) enforcement (community-based style of enforcement, non-confrontational approach, non-enforcement), and (4) impact (observation of policy compliance and decrease in cigarette litter). The study’s findings indicate a general ease of becoming smoke-free with minimal barriers. As such, the GAA should urge each club to become smoke-free and to use the effective methods used by current smoke-free clubs for communicating and enforcing smoke-free policies.

Abstract:
Based on two different case studies in the realm of popular culture, my contribution will clarify the mechanisms involved in the (symbolic) production and consumption of space. The music club and the soccer stadium function much in the same way, as interfaces between producers and consumers of places, prompting “prosumption of space” (Raumprosumenten). A loss of function in such “third places” cannot be linked to the transition from informal cellar clubs to (soberly designed) regional discos outside the city – or from the national-league stadium to the World Cup arena (also outside the city). Nor can it be attributed to the mediatization of these spaces by technology. On the contrary, we find an exponentiation of what third places had always already been, spaces of “intermediality” (between work and leisure, between seriousness and play, between young people and adults). In the World Cup stadium, unique events, experiences and communicative propensities are produced in a highly consistent manner by means of communication on different levels in series. In such cases, the spectators in the stadium, just like visitors to music clubs, rarely behave as passive consumers of what is staged, yet both groups contribute by their presence and symbolic activity to the success of such productions in the stadium and the club.

Abstract:
Turkey’s TV drama industry has made a quantum leap in the past decade and exported many of its dramas (dizis) to more than a hundred countries. Turkey has become the world’s second-biggest TV drama exporter after the USA in 2016. The dizi industry’s transnationalization is attributable to the tireless efforts and unique features of its associated creative industry. However, the industry has some deep problems. This paper seeks to shed light on the challenges that the Turkish TV drama industry faces. The author has conducted in-depth interviews with Producers, Directors, Scenarists, Actors and Distributors. Their replies reveal the basic characteristics and difficulties of the dizi industry and provide clues as to what needs to be done to sustain and build upon the Turkish TV drama industry’s export success.

Studying corporate documents provides clues to the larger philosophy of the organization. This article explores a sales document redesign that indicates a subtle shift in ideology for a women's clothing company. The corporation uses direct sales to market clothes to a variety of women. In one season, the documents change from relatively outdated designs to more updated, professional layouts. However, the content of the documents changes very little. The author contends that the document redesign indicates a move to a more feminist outlook for the company and uses the concept of ethos to describe how the document design represents a slowly changing ethos for the corporation. A specific content shift towards feminism is, however, less apparent.

For any different objectives of teaching EYL at primary schools in Indonesia, qualified EYL teachers are urgently needed. Pre-service teaching program is expected to provide experience of using proper English language in classroom setting. This case study aimed at describing the first language (L1) instruction used by the pre-service teachers of English for Young Learners (EYL) at the Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM). The findings depicted that L1 was used as a language of instruction to explain the materials and to clarify the instruction given in L2. It is recommended for the pre-service teachers of EYL to use L2 with demonstration, L2 Context Clues, and L1 translation. Ultimately, the use of L1 in L2 teaching is mandatory to communicate the topic and enhance the students - pre-service teacher interactions. As for meeting the purpose of interaction, the use of L1 should involve actional, conversational, and non-verbal competences. In the long run, the impact of L1 in L2 learning in earlier levels can be recognized from good interpersonal communication in English.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to clarify the status of alcohol as a form of symbolic communication in the process of erotic contact seeking among members of three social categories of the urban Norwegian population. In 1995, a field observation/depth interview study on alcohol and sexuality was undertaken among patrons of three clubs designed to attract people from different social categories in Oslo. 33 persons (25–52 years) visiting the three clubs were interviewed. The informants were classified on the basis of background and lifestyle as belonging to three different social categories: ‘the chosen ones‘, ‘the traditionals' and ‘the unconventionals’. In all three clubs it seemed to be common for men to offer to buy women drinks. The traditional gender role pattern was evident in all social categories. However, there were also differences among them in this respect. Men of the ‘the chosen ones' category might be described as acting like ‘gentlemen' when offering to buy drinks for women whom they did not know. In contrast, ‘traditional' men acted more like the traditional ‘provider‘, and ‘unconventional' men behaved more like the women's ‘pals’. There are thus consequences for both men's and women's motives for, and reactions to, offering somebody a drink.

Abstract:
Willingness to communicate (WTC) as introduced by McCroskey and Bear (1985) has developed and been perceived by many as a critical field. Unfortunately, there is a noticeable gap in research on the willingness to communicate (WTC) in English among ESL teachers in the Malaysian context. This study aims to investigate the ESL teachers’ willingness to communicate in English in terms of gender and school locations. The four constructs of communication in WTC are group discussions, interpersonal, public, and talking in meetings. Through both criterion and convenience sampling, 250 ESL teachers from twenty-five schools were chosen for this research. Survey questionnaire with a total of 20 items adopted from McCroskey (1992) was used as the data collection instrument. Findings reveal that ESL teachers' willingness to communicate in English is generally high and that the teachers were more willing to converse and exchange ideas orally in English during the meeting rather than in group or public. Female participants were significantly different in their overall willingness to communicate as they were more willing to communicate in groups and public. The within-group comparison also shows that school locations (urban and rural) affect ESL teachers' willingness to communicate in English. The findings also suggest that schools should encourage more ESL teachers to participate in activities such as debates, drama, public speaking, English language clubs/society, and empower them by providing professional development workshops or training.

Abstract:
Football clubs can be considered global brands, and exactly as any other brand, they need to face the challenge of adapting to digital communications. Nevertheless, communication sciences research in this field is scarce, so the main purpose of this work is to analyze digital communication of the main football clubs in Europe to identify and describe what strategies they follow to make themselves known on the internet and to interact with their users. Specifically, the article studies the characteristics of web pages—considered as the main showcase of a brand/team in the digital environment—of the fifteen best teams in the UEFA ranking to establish what type of structure and what online communication resources they use. Through a descriptive and comparative analysis, the study concludes, among other aspects, that the management of communication is effective, but also warns that none of the analyzed team takes full advantage of the possibilities of interaction with the user offered by the digital scenario.

The problem of the formation of sociocultural values of students according to the methodological and technological points of view is obtained in the article. The pedagogical toolkit has been developed by author that allows introducing a methodology for the formation of sociocultural values of students based on the identified diagnostics. The approaches include three stages of implementation: normative-cognitive, communicative-active and reflective-evaluative. The pedagogical toolkit was selected for each stage of the process of forming sociocultural values of students, suggesting effective forms and methods.The normative-cognitive stage is forms of work: project activities in the form of individual projects of a sociocultural orientation, methods: project, partially search; individual tasks, using methods of search, practical work method; in solving problematic issues, situations, the following methods were used: problematic, situational and group forms of work: research projects, (methods: project method, partial search); creative workshops, clubs, student associations, communities, methods: role-playing games, group dynamics method; intercultural associations in the form of round tables, webinars, seminars, trainings, flash mobs, using methods: empirical, role-playing games, discussion.For communicative-activity and reflective-evaluative stages, the author proposed the following forms and methods: active: resource circle (method of situations and imitations); work in pairs (methods: group dynamics, a method for solving situational problems); communicative trainings and video-trainings (methods: visualization, immersion seminar); active and interactive: business games, quests (methods: role- playing games, situational, “brainstorming”); sociocultural dialogue (methods: interaction, training); discussion using problematic and dialogue methods of communication.
