In a broad sense, the present study aims to examine the operation of the evaluative and the argumentative component in two text classes: newspaper editorials and art reviews. In order to achieve this objective, six editorials and six reviews (four film and tw

The aim of the thesis is to explore, from a linguistic perspective, the construction and maintenance of interaction in documents in which directives are conveyed in business communication correspondence, in order to input directly into the pedagogic practice in written business communication. The focus is research into ways of scaffolding relationships in documents for correspondence, an area that represents an important aspect of language use in business communication practice.

Abstract:

Social media has become a large part of today’s pop culture and keeping up with what is going on not only in our social circles, but around the world. It has given many a platform to unite their causes, build fandoms, and share their commentary with the world. A tool in helping group posts together or give commentary on a thought is the hashtag. In this paper I explore the evaluative roles of hashtags in social media discourse, specifically on Twitter. I use a sample of randomly selected tweets from the Twitter API stream I collected and compiled myself. I collected a total of 200,000 tweets a

Abstract:

The central question in this thesis is How do participants in the practicum interact in order to evaluate teaching practice? This question has been posed for several reasons: 1. The practicum is a crucial part of teacher education and teacher socialisation; 2. Little is known about the nature of student teacher learning during the practicum; 3. Much of what happens during practicum interactions is taken for granted, and needs to be made explicit in order to fully understand how student teachers learn and what it is important for them to know. In order to investigate this question this study ex

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with explicating the role of language in mobilising action through management emails. Situated within the context of organisational change in a globalised manufacturing business, the project is framed by behavioural observations from management scholars Palmer and Hardy (2000) of mobilisation strategies that utilise linguistic resources since they: (a) involve a sense of obligation or inclination in directives; (b) show how co-operation will produce mutual benefits; (c) construct desired actions as legitimate, beneficial or inevitable; and (d) use past or anticipated m

The words in a language not only help us to construct the sentences but also contain some other features, which we usually underestimate. Each word relates itself to the remaining ones in some way.

In this work, it is investigated whether the relations between the words can be useful for question direction and an approach for question direction is presented. Besides, a tool is devised in the way of this approach for a course given in Turkish. The relations between the words are r

Abstract:

Stakeholder participation in evaluation, where the evaluator engages stakeholders in the process, is prevalent in evaluation practice and is an important focus of evaluation research. Cousins and Whitmore proposed a bifurcation of participatory evaluation into the two streams of transformative participatory and practical participatory evaluation (T-PE and P-PE respectively). T-PE stems from a social justice perspective and P-PE has more of a use orientation. T-PE is an underdeveloped evaluation theory with relatively low operational specificity.

The study explores how life events are presented and evaluated in narrative and analyses the construction of identities. The objectives of the study are threefold.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to investigate how the position of the preschool teacher could come across in interviews with six teachers about their assignment to document and evaluate the preschool activity.

A special focus of the study was to see how the methods and dsicour
