The author analyses several selected speeches of Italian politicians: the founder of the Forza Italia party, Silvio Berlusconi; the founder and leader of the Five Stars Movement, Beppe Grillo; and the current Prime Minister of Italy, Matteo Renzi. The study makes it possible to evaluate whether the conditions for the ideale Sprechsituation (the ideal speech situation) of Jürgen Habermas are fulfilled in analysing the public discourse. Particular attention will be given to the relationship between the persuasiveness of the communication and the problem of legitimacy.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines evangelical gender paradigms as expressed through a 700 Club cooking segment facilitated by Gordon Robertson, the son of Pat Robertson – founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), The 700 Club, Christian Coalition, and one-time presidential candidate. Several themes converge within this cooking show, including health and nutrition, family ritual, and gender roles. Using the cooking segment as data, I draw on scholarship on body, gender, family and ritual to argue that evangelical discourses are labile in their responses to recent socio-cultural shifts and suggest that ‘Sunday Dinners: Cooking with Gordon’ defies caricatures of evangelical gender formation and signals a shift to soft-patriarchy and quasi-egalitarianism, at least within public, visual discourse. ‘Sunday Dinners’ underscores the centrality of the family in evangelical discourse – even as conceptions of gender are in flux – as it seeks to facilitate everyday rituals via cooking and eating together.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn this introduction to the discussion on James C. Hanges,Paul, Founder of Churches, the significance of the comparative work on the cult founder-figure and typology of cult foundations is discussed. The essay argues that this serves to ground any interpretation of the cult founding work of the apostle Paul in an understanding of the materiality of religion. This gives impetus to a more concrete conceptualisation of Christian origins. Further reflection on this comparative enterprise is offered by means of three discussion foci, namely Discourse, imperial context, spatiality; Diaspora religion; and New Religious Movements. It is argued that the pervasiveness of imperial discourse and its spatial encoding allows us to see Paul’s cult foundations as sites of imperial resistance. Diasporas and diasporic religions provide key illuminations for understanding the broader context of the foundations of cult groups by Paul. Study of new religious movements will also aid in concrete descriptions and analysis of the making of early Christian groups and their organisation.

AbstractIslamists' ideas about the position of women are readily invoked to portray them as ‘anti-modern’. The operating assumption is that Islamism (mutatis mutandis Islam) sanctions gender hierarchy. In this paper, drawing on ethnographic research and written sources of the Jamaat-e-Islami of India, founded in 1941, I question such assumptions. While defending Islam against the ‘epidemic’ of westernization, Maududi (b. 1903), the Jamaat's founder, called women ‘the mightiest fortress of Islamic culture’. Invoking the Quran and Prophetic traditions, he argued that women should not step outside of the home, and must veil themselves from head to toe. He stood against any political role for women. For decades, Maududi's interpretation went uncontested. However, from the 1970s onwards many members of the Jamaat began to critique Maududi and offered an alternative reading of Islam. They argued that women could indeed leave the home, assume key economic and political roles, unveil their faces, as well as act in films. By highlighting such voices and analysing the sociological coordinates of the contestations within the Jamaat, I underscore the transformation in the Jamaat's discourse. I conclude by discussing whether the critiques of Maududi by his own followers inaugurate an alternative discourse of Islamic feminism.

Berita yang ditayangkan oleh media massa tidak sepenuhnya sesuai dengan apa yang terjadi di lapangan, tetapi sudah mengalami pengolahan yang disesuaikan dengan ideologi media massa. Oleh sebab itu, penelitian ini ingin mengkaji teks berita dukungan keturunan keluarga pendiri NU pada capres Prabowo dan Sandi yang ditayangkan oleh Liputan6.com. Sumber data dalam penelitian ini berupa teks berita Liputan6.com pada November 2018. Metode yang digunakan adalah simak-bebas libat cakap dengan teknik klasifikasi terhadap data yang dikumpulkan. Analisis data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode padan-pragmatis sehingga hasil analisis data disajikan dalam uraian. Selain itu, peneliti menggunakan teori tiga dimensi Fairclough (1995) yang meliputi (1) text, (2) discourse practice, dan (3) sociocultural practice. Dari hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa berita yang dimuat tentang dukungan tersebut tidak benar karena pada praktik sosial yang disisipkan pada beberapa kalimat oleh penulis menyatakan bahwa keturunan pendiri NU tersebut memang berkunjung, tetapi bukan untuk mendukung dalam pemilihan suara. The news published by mass media is not suitable with the event in the real life. However, it is processed by the ideology from mass media. That is why, this study wants to examine the critical discourse of the news about the NU founders of descendants family’s support to Prabowo-Sandi aired by the liputan6.com. The data source of this study are the news from liputan6.com in November 2018. The method used simak bebas libat cakap by using classification techniques on the data collected. While for the data analysis, the researcher uses padan-pragmatic method and the results of data analysis present in a description. The researcher uses three dimensions theories from Fairclough (1995) which are (1) text, (2) discourse practice, and (3) sociocultural practice. The result of this study showed that the news about the support of NU founder family was not true because the social practice that was inserted by writer stated that the descendants of the founder of the NU had just visited, but had not supported them in the election.

Full textAbstract:
The Subud Movement is one of the mystical movements which develop in the Indonesian archipelago. This movement originated from the spiritual experience of its founder, Muhammad Subuh Sumahadiwidjojo (1901-1987), in 1925. This paper is devoted to highlighting the nature of revelation in the Subud Movement. I will show that revelation is not a taboo in the movement and even becomes the legitimacy of leadership, in particular for the founder of the Movement. This can be observed most notably from the existence of divinely inspired talks, testing and the latihan kejiwaan (spiritual training) in the movement. In order to grasp more readily the nature of revelation in the Subud Movement, I also provide an overview of the discourse of leadership and revelation in Javanese mystical tradition.

The dominance of online social networking sites (SNSs) sparks questions and concerns regarding information privacy, online identity, and the complexities of social life online. Since messages created by a technology’s purveyors can play an influential role in our understanding of a technology, we argue that gaining a complete understanding of the role of social media in contemporary life must include qualitative exploration of how public figures discuss and frame these platforms. Accordingly, this article reports the results of a discourse analysis of Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s public language, foregrounding the evolution of his discourse surrounding Facebook’s self-definitions, the construction of user identity, and the relationship between Facebook and its users.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines discourse presentations of the Ahmadiyya sect (a self-defined sect of Islam) as created in texts produced by the Islamic Defender Front ( Front Pembela Islam/the FPI). The FPI considers Ahmadiyya to be a deviant sect because the sect recognises its founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, as a new prophet of Islam after Prophet Muhammad. This teaching is in sharp contradiction to the belief of the majority of Muslims who believe that Muhammad is the seal of prophethood. This study aims to reveal the discourse strategies employed and discourse topics presented by the FPI in its written and spoken texts when presenting Ahmadiyya. The data analysed are two speeches delivered and two articles written by the FPI’s chairman, Habib Rizieq Shihab. The critical discourse analysis (CDA) theoretical framework employed in this study is based on Van Dijk’s ‘ideological square’, namely positive self- and negative other presentations. The findings of the study reveal that Ahmadiyya is depicted negatively as ‘the non-believers of Islam’, ‘the hijacker of Islam’, ‘the enemy of Islam’, and ‘the traitor/betrayer of Islam’, while Shihab has portrayed the FPI as ‘the tolerant Islamic group’

Previous issue date: 2007<br>Resumo: Nesta minha reflexão, que se inscreve na perspectiva teórica da Análise de Discurso fundada nos trabalhos de Michel Pêcheux na França e Eni Orlandi e o grupo de pesquisadores por ela formados no Brasil, tenho como objeto a compreensão da constituição histórica do conflito posto no Estado de Mato Grosso pelo processo migratório instaurado na década de setenta, na perspectiva discursiva de análise do discurso jornalístico. Através dessa análise pretendo compreender a divisão que se mostra na língua e circula na mídia, principalmente nas diferentes posições-sujeito observadas. Para esta reflexão e compreensão dos sentidos que afloram e circulam na região norte do Estado de Estado de Mato Grosso, a análise do material constituído por entrevistas e depoimentos a partir de recortes de jornais locais impressos, virtuais e revistas; representativos da região norte do Estado do Mato Grosso, produziu recortes específicos, marcados, a partir das relações imaginárias constitutivas dos processos discursivos, por um forte posicionamento favorável à proposta de divisão territorial do Estado. Essa prática discursiva favorável ao processo divisionista, estabelece, por defender esse posicionamento, uma situação de confronto com os habitantes da região sul do Estado. Para entender esse confronto, foi necessário me deter também na prática discursiva jornalística representativa dos habitantes da região sul do Estado de Mato Grosso que compreende a capital Cuiabá e seu entorno, região esta toda ela à luz de mais de 200 anos de colonização e que devido às grandes distâncias, falta de estradas e comunicação com os grandes centros do País, viveu um grande período de isolamento sócio-econômico e cultural até a instauração do processo migratório no Estado. Tomando o discurso como local privilegiado de observação, encontro práticas discursivas que reforçam o ser de Mato Grosso, nascido aqui, em posição de enfrentamento aos paus-rodados e paus-fincados, formulações essas ancoradas no acontecimento discursivo da primeira divisão estadual, no movimento da construção de fundar sentidos postos pela Declaração da Amazônia, e, ainda, nos efeitos de uma incerteza em relação a um futuro marcados pelo tempo verbal do futuro do pretérito. A análise do discurso em relação ao confronto não dividir x criar um novo Estado deu visibilidade a processos de identificação que definem as relações imaginárias postas no Estado de Mato Grosso pelos seus habitantes<br>Abstract: This reflection is inscribed in the theoretical outlook of the analysis of the discourse based on productions by Michel Pêcheux in France and Erni Orlandi and the team of researchers formed by it in Brazil. I aim the understanding of the historical constitution of the conflict brought about by the migratory process in the state of Mato Grosso in the 80¿s, under the discursive analysis of the journalist discourse. Through this analysis I intend to understand the division shown in the language that circulates in the mass media, mainly in the different subject-positions observed. For this reflection and understanding of the meanings that emerge and circulate in the North region of the state of Mato Grosso, the analysis of the material made up of interviews and depositions from local newspaper clippings virtual news and magazines which represent the North region of the state of Mato Grosso has produced specific meanings, which are marked by a strong favorable stand to the proposal of the territorial division of the state and imaginary constitutive relations of the discursive processes. This discursive practice which is favorable to the divisional process stablishes a confronting situation towards the inhabitants of the south region of the state for defending this position. In order to understand this confrontation I also had to detain in the journalistic discursive practice which represents the inhabitants of the south region of the state of Mato Grosso which comprises the capital city Cuiabá and its surroundings. A region subject to over 200 years of colonization and which, due to large distances, lack of roads and communication with the large cities in Brazil, has faced a great period of socio-economical and financial isolation until the instauration of the migratory process in the state. Taking the discourse a privileged observation spot I find discursive practices which reinforce the Mato Grosso being. Born here, facing the ¿pau-rodados¿ and ¿pau-fincados¿, formulations anchored the discursive discourse of the first state division, to the construction movement of founding meanings imposed by the Declaration of the Amazonia and also to the effects of an incertaintly concerning a future marked by the conditional verbal tense. The discourse analysis related to the confrontation no division x creation of a new state enlighted the identification processes that define the imaginary relations inflicted in the state of Mato Grosso by its inhabitants<br>Doutorado<br>Mestre em Linguística

Full textAbstract:
Published histories of madness have commonly cited inhumane practices in early English menial institutions as a negative baseline for judging subsequent management of lunacy, though adequate primary research on these institutions has been lacking, This raises the questions, pursued in this research project, as to how these institutions actually functioned, and what their governors saw as their role? The project examines the formation, maintenance, dissemination and practical expression of the ethos of the governors of early institutions for lunatics using material from the archives of all English public institutions for the mad founded up to 1765, supplemented by additional contextual information collected at the same time, The geographical and temporal limits of the sample were imposed because of the volume of material involved, and in order to focus on the period inadequately researched in published histories, The thesis describes significant processes in the formation, maintenance and change of the governors' ethos, and its diffusion into the body of staff running the institutions, Its content is also described in the form of four discourses: 1. The Discourse of Confinement, concerning three institutional justifications for confining lunatics; public protect ion, care and cure. It is suggested that the initial justification of public protection, while remaining in use, was largely supplanted by what have been termed the "rhetorics" of care and cure which served to obfuscate the confining nature of the institutions. 2. The Discourse of Control and Commerce, concerning issues related to the appointment, monitoring and control of staff, and the financial, and other, management of the institutions. 3. The Discourse of Care, concerning elements of institutional practice which can be seen as directly caring. It describes care ex tended 10 inmates and staff, to their families, to tenants and to the institutions' neighbours. 4. The Discourse of Piety concerning the absence of supernatural explanations of madness which were expected in the sampled material, together with issues of religious observance, particularly the issue of whether the mad could benefit from divine service, and visits from the clergy. The governors' ethos, particularly in its transmission downwards, was constantly challenged by unanticipated events, staff misconduct and inmate resistance. Examples of these, and the governors' handling of them, are detailed for each discourse and considered as catalysts for institutional change. The influence of the institutions on each other, and those which came later, is then discussed, and they are considered within their broader social context. The major conclusions of the project are presented and its methods critically assessed. Finally, some future research directions are outlined.

Full textAbstract:
With the help of various advertising strategies this study addresses the Swedish, plant-basedfood-production company Oatly, and their advertisements to see how the discourse onsustainability is approached. By using critical discourse analysis, and primarily Fairclough’sthree-dimensional-model for analysing discourse (1989, 1995) as well as the marketingframework AIDA, these advertisements have been analysed to see how the companymanages to tempt and persuade their consumers into consumption. This paper seeks tounderstand how Oatly portrays their products as the “right” choice, by acting on and creatingsocial, public understandings. But who decides what is “correct” and what is not, and howdoes a company act on contemporary social conventions to portray themselves as the “good”choice? Through a textual analysis of Oatly’s product descriptions on their website as well asof the product packaging in-store, this report has established that Oatly acts on publicunderstandings of environmental sustainability to persuade their audience into consumption.

Full textAbstract:
In Mexico, 40% of the population in primary and secondary schools suffer from bullying; verbal assaults represent the form of aggression with a higher percentage among school children (CNDH, 2010). This form of harassment may not leave evident scars as physical assaults; nonetheless, the consequences of verbal violence can also be detrimental. Television and the violent content presented on it have been considered a harmful source of knowledge for children that may allow them to imitate, learn, and reinforce unacceptable behaviours. In this investigation, an analysis of the discourse presented in the cartoon The Fairly OddParents was carried out aiming to find out if children are being exposed to verbal aggressions. Furthermore, a group discussion was carried out in order to know what perceptions children have towards violent acts in the cartoon. The results obtained from the discourse analysis showed that children who watch this television show are being exposed to several forms of direct and indirect verbal violence. Additionally, what children commented on the group discussion showed that most of the times they see violence as an unaccepted conduct, although there are some cases where they think it is acceptable<br>(cont.) Also, it was observed that younger children do not always understand what is shown and that they form their own conclusions. The results obtained from the analysis of discourse as well as from the group discussion suggest that media education could be used as a tool to eradicate and prevent the violent practices among school children..

Moriniere, Lezlie C. "A Well-Founded Fear? Tracing the Footprints of Environmentally Influenced Human Mobility." Diss., The University of Arizona, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/145714.
Full textAbstract:
Humans have fled environmental degradation for many millennia. Due partially to climate change, environments across the world have often degraded to the point that they can no longer securely sustain livelihoods. Entire communities and households have been displaced by extreme, rapid or creeping disasters; during their flight, they have left footprints across the globe that merit tracing. Sometimes this mobility is forced and at other times it is purely voluntary; for both, the mobility has roots in a changing environment. The footprint of environmentally influenced mobility (EIM) was traced through a series of three independent but related studies. The first study gained foundational perspective through an exploration of connections between climate drivers and natural and human impacts of climate change. This inquiry sought to answer the question, "How important is human mobility in the greater scheme of changing environments and changing climate?" Human mobility was one among 15 different climate drivers and impacts studied; the connections between all of them were examined to enable a quantitative comparison of system susceptibility, driving force, tight coupling and complexity. While degradation was the most complex of all natural elements, mobility surfaced as the human system element exerting the greatest forcing on other elements within the coupled system. The next study focused only on human mobility to explore how scholarly literature portrayed the two possible directions of the link between mobility and degrading environments--with a particular focus on urbanization as one manifestation of the phenomenon. Type A links, in which human mobility triggers environmental degradation, are portrayed in the literature as often as Type B links, in which degrading environments trigger human mobility. Surprisingly, science has not lent support to urbanization being a result of environmental change; plausible reasons for this are discussed. The final study canvassed expert opinion to examine why no scientific, humanitarian or governmental entity has succeeded in providing systematic support (e.g.., policy and interventions) to populations enduring environmentally influenced mobility. Four very different discourses emerged: Determined Humanists, Benevolent Pragmatists, Cynical Protectionists and Critical Realists. The complexity these discourses manifest help explain the inaction--a stalemate between actors--while confirming the inappropriateness of one-sided terminology and linear quantifications of environmentally influenced mobility. The results of these three studies demonstrate that human mobility has unequivocally destructive force that can trigger non-linear effects, potentially casting the coupled system into an unprecedented state; that the visible lack of scholarly exploration of environmentally influenced urbanization (EIU) can be partially explained by high system complexity and disciplinary research; and most important, that despite diametrically opposed viewpoints, experts unanimously agree that human mobility has strong connections to environmental change. Together, the results merge to confirm a "well-founded fear" on the part of those who dwell in degrading environments, and to highlight a pressing need to offer solutions both to those who remain in such environments as well as a name and protected status to those who flee them.

Full textAbstract:
In Britain, fathers are allowed just two weeks of paid paternity leave while mothers may take out 26 weeks of paid maternity leave. (DirectGov.uk, 2012). It could seem, then, that the mothers are expected to do most of the child rearing. This essay investigates if this is true by examining discourse in three British books for fathers-to-be; Rob Kemp’s (2010) The expectant dad’s survival guide, Andrew Watson’s (2011) Down to Earth with a bump – The diary of a first-time dad, and Tim Atkinson’s (2011) Fatherhood – The essential guide. These books have all been amassed into a corpus and they are analysed using methods developed by Paul Baker (2006).This essay aims to find out what discourse is used, and what the expectations are on fathers-to-be in the UK by examining three popular books on fatherhood. Jane Sunderland’s (2002) study of fatherhood discourses in general parenting books will serve as a background to this study: In her study, Sunderland (2002) presented a thesis of the father as someone who assists with the child-rearing rather than doing any actual child-rearing himself. This thesis will be tested in this study, as will a claim by Andrew Watson (2011) that “we all face fatherhood reluctantly and need a desperate gag in every paragraph to stop us losing interest and turning on the telly?” (Watson, 2011: viii).As will be shown, the situation is more complex and fathers are actually expected to be involved in the child-rearing as much as they are able. This study shows that some fathers actually lament the fact that, for various reasons, they cannot be more involved. The books actually do have a more progressive view on fatherhood than they first appear to, and hopefully they can inspire fathers to be ‘doers’ rather than ‘helpers’.

This is a study of how three national newspapers in Indonesia frame and build the frames of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) reportage. Indonesia is one out of the 193 countries who signed the SDGs, which is a form of a globalization project. Using the Critical Discourse Analysis, several articles from Kompas, The Jakarta Post (the JP), and Media Indonesia (MI) are analyzed. By using Lecheller and de Vreese’s stages of framing model, findings of the CDA are then explained and put into the context of frame-building. CDA is also applied through interviewing the editors-in chief to apprehend the professional ideology of media institutions which influences the frame-building and the form of frames in the news. The study finds that frame in the news of the SDGs reportage in Kompas, MI, and the JP thematizing Indonesia’s achievements within three main themes namely gender equality, partnership, and environment. The introverted domestications with domestic outlook dominate the SDGs reportage. According to the editorial policy makers in the newspapers, the frame-building of frequent absence of the global outlook and extraverted domestication are influenced by the target readers (Kompas), reader’s occupation and limited human and financial resources (the JP), and the editorial policy of supporting the government (the JP and MI).

Full textAbstract:
Studies have shown that creative mathematically founded reasoning (CMR) outperforms algorithmic reasoning (AR) in regards to retention and (re)construction of knowledge. This suggests that creativity should be encouraged in national high-school mathematics curricula. The aim of the present study is to compare how creativity is framed in different national high-school mathematics curricula, using the following definition: creativity is the characteristics of people, processes, and environments which lead to new and original products that are useful or otherwise attractive to an individual or a society. Utilizing content and discourse analysis, the present study thus contrasts how the high-school mathematics curricula of Singapore, Hong Kong, Sweden, and Norway handle and value creativity, and also examines which role creativity takes in each curricula. Findings suggest that Singapore’s curriculum emphasizes creativity the most, and frequently does so in relation to assessment. Hong Kong’s curriculum is found to emphasize creativity in diverse ways, often using words with connotations to playfulness. Analysis of Sweden’s curriculum indicates a relatively minute focus on creativity, tending to put it in a teacher-centered context. A feature of Norway’s curriculum is an increasing emphasis on creativity as courses approach tertiary education. This also suggests a rising value of creativity in its curriculum. A similar though not as pronounced trajectory is found also in Singapore’s curriculum. In the Asian and Norwegian curricula, creativity is expressed both as a means and an end, while in Sweden’s curriculum it is only seen as an end. The results are discussed in terms of potential reasons for the prominent national features, and the study also includes an evaluation of the aptness of the suggested definition of creativity, a review of the limitations of the study, as well as propositions for further research. Finally, two recommendations are given to the National Agency for Education in Sweden – Skolverket – based on the results of the study: 1) diversify the emphasis on creativity in the curriculum, and 2) ensure alignment between what teachers value and what Skolverket values with respect to creativity.

"‘THOSE WHO WERE FOUND HERE’: AN ANALYSIS OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SENSE OF PLACE AMONG THE COEUR D’ALÉNE PEOPLE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE COYOTE CYCLE OF ORAL HISTORIES, WITH DISCOURSE ON THEMATIC ROLES IN THE HISTORIES, AND A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE LANGUAGE ITSELF."

Full textAbstract:
The Coyote Cycle of oral history of the Coeur D’Alene people is rich in etiological
content. These narratives seek to anchor the ethnic Snchitsu’umsh group geographically as well
as provide context to the origin of much of the Coeur D’Alene world, such as the origin of the
native tribes, the release of salmon to feed the people, and much more. The texts will be used to
provide evidence of this etiological intention and show that in many cases the oral histories tie
the ethnic community with specific geographical locations on their traditional lands. A specific
case study of an auxiliary character with emphasis on thematic role in the narratives explains
some of the intent in these oral histories. Lastly, by tracing some historical changes in the
language and assessing ways in which the community has responded to language attrition,
specifically, that issues of language purity have arisen as a consequence of this attrition.
Evidence will show that the language borrowed some words from English and French as well as
created its own words for many of the new concepts upon contact.

Full textAbstract:
Performing Moving Images: Access, Archive and Affects presents institutions, individuals and networks who have ensured experimental films and Expanded Cinema of the 1960s and 1970s are not consigned to oblivion. Through a comparison of recent international case studies from festivals, museums, and gallery spaces, the book analyzes their new contexts, and describes the affective reception of those events. The study asks: what is the relationship between an aesthetic experience and memory at the point where film archives, cinema, and exhibition practices intersect? What can we learn from re-screenings, re-enactments, and found footage works, that are using archival material? How does the affective experience of the images, sounds and music resonate today? Performing Moving Images: Access, Archive and Affects proposes a theoretical framework from the perspective of the performative practice of programming, curating, and reconstructing, bringing in insights from original interviews with cultural agents together with an interdisciplinary academic discourse.

Full textAbstract:
The conclusion digests the main issues explored in the previous chapters. The core argument put forward is that the global media landscape that materialized at the end of the twentieth century has become a central mediator of eco-consciousness around the globe. This landscape is defined primary by the Promethean discourse, which assumes that growth is perpetual and that individuals operating within the market have the agency to solve any and all environmental problems. This discourse is problematic when considered in the face of anthropogenic climate change and declining natural resource reserves. However, even powerful discourses co-produced and are hence not immune to challenges. This means that alternative environmental discourses can be found within market driven media, suggesting that while the contemporary media commons is the domain of non-ecologically responsive normative trends, its also offers openings for more progressive environmental thought and action.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter considers how a discourse profile may provide a key piece of the puzzle for explaining the distribution of ergative grammatical structures within and across the world’s languages. The ergative discourse profile, isomorphic to the ergative-absolutive pattern of syntactic alignment, is found in a typologically diverse array of languages including ergative, accusative, and active. Speakers tend to follow soft constraints limiting the Quantity and Role of new and lexical noun phrases within the clause. Evidence for the universality of the ergative discourse profile is examined from typology, child language, and diachrony. A conflicting discourse pressure for topicality motivates accusativity, giving rise to competing motivations. As one recurrent resolution of competing demands, ergativity represents an evolutionarily stable strategy realized in grammar. While discourse-pragmatic and cognitive motivations contribute crucially to a functional explanation of ergativity, additional factors must include semantics of verbs, constructions, aspects, and splits; inherited morphosyntax; and more.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe former Islamic Revival Party of Tajikistan (IRPT) underwent a political transformation from an Islamist organization, partly responsible for armed mobilizations during the Civil War in Tajikistan (1992–1997), to a moderate and arguably democratic party from the early 2000s until 2015. The party defined and redefined its identity to fit both Islamic and secular democratic narratives. This research traced the evolution of the IRPT’s identity in light of critical events such as the change in leadership in 2006, and the Arab Spring. A discourse analysis of the IRPT’s main communication channel, Najot, from 2008 to 2015 has been conducted, which found three themes where strong articulations about identity were made: secularism, the Civil War, and the Islamic World. First, they challenged the core legislation regulating the triangular relationship of state, society, and religion; they justified political Islam; and they criticized what they called “secular extremism.” Second, the party produced a counter-narrative of Civil War actors and actions to that of the state. Third, they expressed solidarity with legal and controversial Islamic parties elsewhere, such as the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, or the Palestinian Hamas. This paper has found that the IRPT’s ideological transformation was limited due to the remaining Islamist elements in their discourse and the lack of clarity on the compatibility between Islamic and secular democratic programs.

Full textAbstract:
Leibniz wrote the “Discourse on the Natural Theology of the Chinese” during the last year of his life. Previously, he had praised the polity and societal peace of the Chinese empire, deeming it superior to that of Christian Europe. Various thinkers used such a claim to argue that a pagan society could be ethical and politically stable without the belief in God. Leibniz sought to demonstrate that the intellectual and spiritual foundations of ancient Confucianism were indeed monotheistic and that this was the basis of their well-ordered society. He attempted to show that the classical Chinese believed in the tenets of a natural theology (i.e. belief in the existence of a monotheistic God and an incorporeal and hence immortal soul). He even attributed the discovery of binary arithmetic, not to himself, but to the ancient founder of the Yi Jing, thus further legitimating ancient Chinese knowledge (“science”).

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines Theodor Herzl (1860–1904), the founder of political Zionism. The very expression “Herzl, visionary of the state,” which has become common not only in Israeli public discourse but in academic discourse as well, contains more than a little anachronism. Here, the anachronistic approach creates an artificial dichotomy that disregards certain conceptual aspects of Herzl's thought while selectively emphasizing and isolating others. By way of comparison between Herzl's and Max Nordau's cultural–linguistic vision and the cultural–national conceptions of the Slovenian, Czech, Lithuanian, Norwegian, and other national movements of the nineteenth century's non-dominant nationalities, the chapter sheds new light on Herzlian Zionism as a cultural–national approach that is embedded in the historical context of its time.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter shows how and why English uses of the idiom ‘esprit de corps’ in the twentieth century were not only increasingly frequent, but also dominantly laudative. The English version of the phrase tended to forget the pejorative political meaning invented by the Philosophes in the eighteenth century. If esprit de corps continued to thrive in several discourses (military, political, intellectual and theoretical, corporate, sports...), it was with a meaning that was increasingly generic and standard, often close to the idea of team spirit with a bellicose and enthusiastic twist. American managerial discourse reinvented esprit de corps in the twentieth century as an anthem of what the author proposes to call regimental capitalism,an alternative to trade-unionism The chapter also narrates the case of Conrad Hilton, the founder of the international chain of hotels, who explicitly transplanted his experience of military esprit de corps in France during WWI into his philosophy and practice of management.

Full textAbstract:
The Japanese criminal justice system has gone through transformations in its modern history, adopting the models of European Continental Law systems in the 19th century as part of Japan’s modernisation process, and then the Anglo-American Common Law orientation after WWII. More recently, citizen judges have been introduced to the criminal justice process, a further move towards an adversarial orientation with increased focus on orality and courtroom discourse strategies. Yet, the actual legal process does not necessarily represent the adversarial orientation found in Common Law jurisdictions. While previous research from cultural and socio-historical perspectives has offered valuable insights into the Japanese criminal court procedures, there is hardly any research examining how adversarial (or non-adversarial) orientation is realised through language in Japanese trials. Drawing on an ethnographic study of communication in Japanese trials, this paper discusses a ‘hybrid’ orientation to the legal process realised through courtroom discourse. Based on courtroom observation notes, interaction data, lawyer interviews and other relevant materials collected in Japan, trial participants’ discourse strategies contributing to both adversarial and inquisitorial orientations are identified. In particular, the paper highlights how accusation, defence and morality are performed and interwoven in the trial as a genre. The overall genre structure scaffolds competing narratives, with prosecution and defence counsel utilising a range of discourse strategies for highlighting culpability and mitigating factors. However, the communicative practice at the micro genre level shows an orientation to finding the ‘truth,’ rehabilitation of offenders and maintaining social order. The analysis of courtroom communication, contextualised in the socio-historical development of the Japanese justice system and in the ideologies about courtroom communicative practice, suggests a gap between the practice and official/public discourses of the justice process in Japan. At the same time, the findings raise some questions regarding the powerful role that language plays in different ways in varying approaches to delivery of justice.

The subject of the research is focused on identifying the conditions that determine university’s specific response to sustainable development, as well as on identifying the characteristics of a transformative university, and the obstacles in the process of creating a sustainable university. Given the importance of educating the future decision makers, the paper is particularly focused on the problems and the possibilities for developing the competencies for sustainable development within the higher education. The originality of the paper is found in its wholesome overview of the universities’ response to the sustainable development challenge and in the identification of possible barriers that the universities face when striving to sustainability. The special value of the paper is in the analysis of the models for sustainable development competencies which should help to further understand these models and the possibilities for their application in university’s teaching practice.

Full textAbstract:
The current study aims at finding out how retrieval of discourse takes place during the process of comprehension. It is hypothesized that the process of retrieval is relative among language users in its capacity and ways. Most important , it is also hypothesized that this process is patterned in nature and such pattering is also relative from one language user into another. In other words, language users look for different patterns when comprehending discourse. The above aim and hypotheses have been verified through an experiment conducted on 100 secondary school students. The subjects are asked to read an Arabic story and a mathematic text. Then , those participants are asked to answer a questioner conducted for the study to see how they could retrieve the materials given. McDermott and Roediger model (2021) of analysis has been proposed as the model of comprehension adopted in this study. It is concluded that subjects look for specific patterns in the discourse in order to memorize and retrieve the data chosen. These patterns could be : rhematic, schematic, relevance, enjoyment, distinctiveness, familiarity, and linguistic. It is, also, found out that there are different factors which affect the process of retrieval including : interest, background knowledge, subjects capacity, emotions and frequency of repetition.

This study investigated processes in novice–expert consultation meetings in an organizational context to identify ‘what’ is done ‘how’ by novices and expert in consultation discourses. A conceptual model was developed for studying novice–expert design discourses at a fine-resolution level. An empirical study was performed at Rolls-Royce Aerospace Engineering. In total 7 audio-records were captured of meetings between trainees (novices) and expert designers, which occurred over the course of 3 trainee teams’ design projects. Relations were investigated between two coding schemes, namely the activity coding scheme and the conversational flow coding scheme. It was found that certain activities in the meeting were more often performed by either novices or experts, whereas other activities were more often performed collaboratively. Based on the results, implications for design engineering practitioners were derived and suggestions for further research are provided.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to analyse the use of evaluative adjectival lexicogrammatical patterns in selected British online newspaper discourse in terms of genre specification. It focuses both on the normalised frequency of the patterns as well as on the evaluative semantic groups of the adjectives embedded in the patterns analysed. The genres chosen for the analysis are politics and crime. 282 articles from six national British online newspapers (the Sun, the Mirror, the Express, the Guardian, the Telegraph, and the Independent) were downloaded to create the corpus. These were then analysed via Sketch Engine for the evaluative adjectival patterns introduced by Bednarek (2009). The adjectives found in the patterns were further examined and manually divided into semantic groups introduced by Collins COBUILD. The data were then compared in an attempt to identify discourse patterns and contrasts, and valuable insights were gained into the lexicogrammatical features studied. The analysis indicated that evaluative adjectival patterns are indeed embedded in newspaper stories and both the tabloids and the broadsheets employ these patterns more or less equally for the same genres. Both types of newspaper mainly embed patterns ‘v-link ADJ’ and ‘v-link ADJ prep’ in both genres. However, when broadsheets report on politics, the use of the 'it v-link ADJ finite/non-finite' pattern, can be considered marked.

There were 28 participants in this study and they were in-service K-12 teachers who would become ESL certified. Based on Gee’s (2015) discourse analysis, the researcher analyzed their responses and found that the majority (96%) did not know about critical pedagogy or took the literal meaning and thought that the term meant critical thinking or evaluation of teaching. The researcher advocates for academic programs to include critical pedagogy for strengthening the knowledge base of MA TESOL programs.

Full textAbstract:
Studies on metadiscourse (Hyland 2005) have focussed on engagement as interaction. An example of engagement is asking questions (Hyland 2009: 112) and indeed the importance of questioning for content learning has been researched extensively in pedagogical studies as fundamental in co-constructing meaning (Dafouz Milne &amp; Sanchez Garcia 2013: 130). Research in an English Mediated Instruction (EMI) context found that teachers’ usage of questions in the classroom was affected by low levels of language competence and in these cases, strategies such as questioning could easily be underused or even misused, thus affecting the teaching and learning of content (Drljaca Margic &amp; Vodopija-Krstanovic 2018: 32). Our study examines lecturer questioning at an Italian University by triangulating face-to-face surveys of lecturers, student questionnaires, and transcribed lecture recordings. Findings have practical applications for providing targeted coaching for non-native EMI lecturers with regard to appropriate linguistic strategies to encourage interaction, and also have implications for research into linguistic strategies used within EMI.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the world and Ukrainian history of corporate periodicals. The main purpose of this study is to reproduce an objective global picture of the emergence and formation of corporate periodicals, taking into account the business and socio-economic context. Accordingly, its tasks are to compare the conditions and features of corporate media genesis in different countries, to determine the main factors of their development, as well as to clarify the transformations of the terminological apparatus. The research is based on mostly foreign secondary scientific works published from 1915 to the present time. The literature was studied using methods such as overview, historical, functional and thematic analysis, description, and generalization. A systematic approach was used to determine the role and place of each element in the system, as well as to comprehensively consider the object in the general historical context and within the current scientific discourse. The method of systematization made it possible to establish internal and external connections, patterns and contradictions in the development of the object of study. The main historical milestones on this path are identified, examples of the first successful corporate publications and their contribution to business development, public relations, and corporate communications are considered. It was found that corporate media emerged in the mid-nineteenth century spontaneously, on the wave of practical business needs in response to industrialization, company increase, staff growth, and consumer market development. Their appearance preceded the formation of the public relations industry and changed the structure of the information space. The scientific significance of this research is that the historical look at the evolution of corporate media provides an understanding of their place, influence, capabilities, and growing communicative role in the digital age.
