Bell, Allan. "Re-constructing Babel: Discourse analysis, hermeneutics and the Interpretive Arc." Discourse Studies 13, no. 5 (2011): 519–68. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1461445611412699.
Full textAbstract:
This article questions the aptness of ‘discourse analysis’ as a label for our field, and prefers the less reductionist concept of ‘Discourse Interpretation’. It does this through drawing on ideas from the field of philosophical hermeneutics – the theory and practice of interpreting texts. It operationalizes and adapts the construct of the Interpretive Arc from the philosophy of Paul Ricoeur in order to address issues that are central to discourse work, including that of how we warrant the validity of our textual interpretations. The Interpretive Arc consists of six inter-linked phases, which the article presents and exemplifies through discussion of a single text – the story of Babel. Phase 1 of the arc defines readers as being in a state of Estrangement before the text because of the distancing created by its written or technological form. Phase 2 is that of Pre-view, the state of opinion or knowledge that readers bring to a text. At phase 3, a first reading forms readers’ Proto-understanding, their initial ‘guess’ at what the text means. Then processes of Analysis (phase 4) test and evidence the validity of alternative readings, limiting the interpretations which can plausibly be taken from a text. Three byways of interpretive analysis are challenged and discarded: the dominance of author intention, structuralist analysis and limitless polysemy. Analysis then leads into 5, the phase of informed Understanding of the matter or injunction of the text, of what is disclosed or unfolded before the text. The Interpretive Arc is completed in phase 6, Ownership. Here, through processes of critique of their own and the text’s ideologies and of fresh listening, readers are led to a new self formed by the matter of the text. There is a dialectic amongst Analysis, Understanding and Ownership, with each informing and modifying the other. The approach emphasizes interpretation as the heart of discourse work. The 3000-year-old narrative of Babel is a subject as well as an object here. It contributes to the matter of the article and its interpretation is interwoven with the theoretical substance. The story is shown to be an integrated narrative abounding in sophisticated linguistic techniques which show a delight in language. The traditional Christian and Western interpretation of Babel – as an affront to God which results in the curse of multilingualism – is challenged. A re-constructed interpretation informed by intertextual evidence reads the fault of Babel to be the people’s refusal to spread through the earth. Babel can be interpreted as a manifesto against the monolingual and monocultural impetus of empires ancient and contemporary. The multilingual outcome is a positive affirmation of sociocultural and linguistic diversity.

Full textAbstract:
What is a nursing moment? This hermeneutic, phenomenological text describes the lived experience of a nursing moment as interpreted from 3 nurses’ stories that depict memorable experiences in their nursing practice. The themes that emerged are a moment of understanding, a moment of being present, a moment of comforting, a moment of touching, and a moment of encouraging. These moments reflect moments of genuine encounters, moments that may bring about profound changes in the lived experiences of patients. In the lived world of nurses, these moments may bring a sense of professional fulfillment and satisfaction.

Full textAbstract:
Ricoeur distinguishes between two forms of hermeneutics: a hermeneutics of faith which aims to restore meaning to a text and a hermeneutics of suspicion which attempts to decode meanings that are disguised. In this paper, his distinction is applied to interpretive stances in narrative research. From the point of view of a hermeneutics of faith, the interpretive effort is to examine the various messages inherent in an interview text, giving “voice” in various ways to the participant(s), while the researcher working from the vantage point of the hermeneutics of suspicion problematizes the participants' narrative and “decodes” meaning beyond the text. Examples are offered of narrative research from each point of view and the implications of working from each stance are explored. Each interpretive position also effects both reflexivity and ethics, and these matters are also discussed. Finally, the implications and possiblities of combining these interpretive positions are considered. (Hermeneutics, Ricoeur, Narrative Analysis, Interpretive Stance, Reflexivity)

Full textAbstract:
This article outlines some preliminary research into the learning discourses of computer and video games, as expressed through the printed materials that accompany games, and the instructional elements built into game narratives. This leads to discussion of an interesting methodological dilemma — how does the interpretative ethnographic researcher analyse this content when he or she becomes part of the playing process? How do you analyse the learning mechanisms of games when you are being reflexively engaged in the training materials and systems mapped into the text by the games' designers? This article examines this ‘crisis of representation’ in interpretive ethnographic research approaches to games research.

Full textAbstract:
While the concept of resemiosis is critical in multimodal analyses, in practice the focus often falls on understanding the individual semiotic resources in use and their interaction (intersemiosis). This paper uses the framework developed by Martin and White (2005) of affect (how do we feel about the images), judgement (how is this influenced by the social norms in use) and appreciation (how do we read the image) in order to structure an analysis of resemiosis. This forces attention to how judgemental this process is, what type of assumptions are made by the observer and how the observer’s interpretation may vary from that of the original creator.This paper studies a two frame cartoon and considers how we might evaluate this using the concepts of affect, judgement and appreciation. In this case, the reader of the cartoon is clearly meant to identify positively with the second interaction (both what is being said and how). However, it is worthwhile to note that in both frames, the street sweeper is presented completely passively – either as an object of pity or to be helped – lacking any agency in their own respect.By taking full account of the concepts of appreciation and judgement, this allows us to also consider if there are other interpretive frameworks. These may lead the observer to read the image in a manner very different to that intended by the original author.

Full textAbstract:
The paper features the role of the author's image as a factor that determines the variable functioning of the text in the process of its interpretation by a native speaker. A linguistic experiment conducted by the author revealed semantic versions of the source text as a result of the influence of the author's image on the interpreting activity of the addressee. The image of the author is viewed as a portrait of a political leader modeled by the addressee and his or her communicative intentions on the basis of the analysis of interpretive texts as the result of perception and interpretation of the source text. The research proves that the image of the author influences the addressee’s interpretation of the text. The author used the method of linguistic analysis to prove that the image of the author of the political text is shaped in mundane political consciousness under the impact of various factors and influences mundane linguistic consciousness and the interpreting activity of the addressee. This is confirmed by the fact that the same text, attributed to different politicians, received different interpretations depending on how the recipient perceived the politician designated as the author of the text.

Full textAbstract:
Two closely-linked problems—one textual, the other interpretive—have long bedevilled readers of Horace Carm. 4.2.45-52. The first involves the text of line 49, which was conjecturally emended in the OCT of Wickham and Garrod, and has actually been obelised by Shackleton Bailey in his Teubner. The second problem concerns the addressee of o Sol pulcher, o laudande in lines 46-7.I would like in this essay, first, to discuss the spectrum of emendations proposed for line 49; second, to sketch out a structural analysis of the entire ode, into which lines 45-52 will fit sensibly; and third, to offer a new rhetorical analysis that will make sense of the poem overall and (particularly) of the text I have adopted for the lemma. This analysis is fundamentally linked to the interpretation of Sol in line 46, as we shall see.

Full textAbstract:
This study tends to present a vision about the linguistic importance of the text as being an interpretive and analytical aspect. This study will specifically be centered on the Quranic text. It will give a new interpretation to the text for a better understanding of the Holy Quran. This interpretation will be different from the traditional approaches and analysis made by the traditional domains of knowledge within the sciences of the Holy Quran.
 In addition, the study aims to demystify some problematic interpretations provided by researchers and specialists. Due to the uncertainty of some researchers, they became skeptic about the unity of the Quranic text. They also became skeptic about the interpretive approaches proposed by the interpreters and the specialists of the Quranic text

Full textAbstract:
AbstractFollowing Blommaert (2005), this paper examines what he calls a ‘forgotten’ context within Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Conversation Analysis (CA) – that of text trajectories. For Blommaert, a limitation of both CDA and CA is their focus on “the unique, one-time” instance of a given text and, by extension, the (limited) context associated with such an instance of text. Such a focus, according to Blommaert, ignores a salient feature of communication in contemporary societies – the fact that texts and discourses move around, are repeatedly recontextualized in new interpretive spaces, and in the process undergo significant transformations in meaning. The text trajectory investigated in this paper begins in a legal institution, more specifically, with a 2004 American rape trial, Maouloud Baby v. the State of Maryland. This legal case garnered much media attention and, as a result of such exposure, references to the case have appeared in both mainstream and social media outlets. Hence, as a ‘text’ that has displayed considerable movement across different contexts within the legal system and, subsequently, beyond the legal system to mainstream and popular forms of media, the Maouloud Baby trial constitutes fertile ground for the exploration of a text's trajectory. Indeed, in keeping with Blommaert's claims, I show how this trial's ‘text’ undergoes significant transformations in meaning as it is recontextualized in different kinds of interpretive spaces (both within the legal system and outside of it) and how these transformations in meaning reproduce larger patterns of gendered inequalities.

Full textAbstract:
This article reports on a study that engaged graduate students from one Canadian university in a knowledge creation project, which produced new evidence and insights regarding pressing socio-political issues of our time. This study resulted in the creation of an instructional application known as the IIF (the Interpretive Imagination Forum), a collaborative video research application for use in higher education courses across the disciplines (e.g., anthropology, history, media studies, philosophy, queer studies, sociology, women's studies). Further, this study resulted in the development of a technology-mediated, hermeneutic tagging technique. IIF was developed as an open-source platform for conducting video research. In keeping with open-source curriculum objectives (OSC), a curriculum framework was developed, which can be used in graduate-level courses (e.g., curriculum foundations, qualitative methodology, critical inquiry). Student participants were invited to add, delete, and modify text annotations or tags, which not only resulted in broader understandings of the themes, theories, and concepts that existed within the videotaped content, but also resulted in the development of a creative and innovative instructional and learning tool. The overarching objective of this study was to circumvent linear or normative qualitative analysis and instead facilitate non-linear, creative, and organic approaches to understanding, analyzing, representing, and disseminating theories and concepts derived from video scholarship.

Full textAbstract:
Text mining aims at constructing classification models and finding interesting patterns in large text collections. This paper investigates the utility of applying these techniques to media analysis, more specifically to support discourse analysis of news reports about the 2007 Kenyan elections and post-election crisis in local (Kenyan) and Western (British and US) newspapers. It illustrates how text mining methods can assist discourse analysis by finding contrast patterns which provide evidence for ideological differences between local and international press coverage. Our experiments indicate that most significant differences pertain to the interpretive frame of the news events: whereas the newspapers from the UK and the US focus on ethnicity in their coverage, the Kenyan press concentrates on sociopolitical aspects.

Full textAbstract:
Narrative Inquiry is a research methodology that enables a researcher to explore experience through a metaphorical analytic three-dimensional space where time, interaction of personal and social conditions, and place make up the dimensions for working with co-participant stories. This inquiry process, analysis, and interpretation involve a series of reflective cognitive movements that make possible the reformulations that take place in the research journey. In this article, I retell the process of my inquiry in moving from field texts (data sources) to research text (interpretation of experience) in Narrative Inquiry. I draw from an inquiry on how nurses experience living their values amidst organizational change to share how I as an inquirer/researcher, moved from field texts to narrative accounts; narrative resonant threads; composite letter as the narrative of experience; personal, practical, and social justifications to construct the research text and represent it another form as a poem. These phases in the inquiry involve considerations in the analytic and interpretive process that are essential in understanding how to conduct Narrative Inquiry. Lastly and unique to my inquiry, I share how a letter can be used as an analytic device in Narrative Inquiry.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the issue regarding activation of artistic and interpretative activities of the students majoring in musical specialties at higher pedagogical educational institutions. The artistic-interpretative activity is considered as a factor of students’ creative development, growth and self-realization. The method of categorical analysis of the issue “interpretation” facilitated the establishment of a number of its values which were considered and implemented in the step-by-step experimental methods of training future music teachers in interpreting musical works. The course and results of the ascertaining stage of the pedagogical experiment have been presented. Based on the hermeneutical and artistic-mental approaches, the experimental methods of training students in interpreting musical works have been elaborated and presented. A wide range of methods of instrumental learning, performing exercises and independent artistic-interpretative tasks that determine the hierarchy of stages (initial-establishing, content-oriented and technological, analytical-final) of the presented methodology has been considered. The effectiveness of the text-centric paradigm of teaching in the practice of instrumental training of the future music teachers basing on a complex use of individual teaching methods alongside with dialogical methods of performing immersion, palliative and facilitation has been proved. The introduction of the lecture course “Fundamentals of Musical Interpretation”, the use of a complex of methods (analytical, practical, creative) and various artistic and interpretative tasks contributed to the increase of the respondents’ motivational orientation and activity as well as the increase of their interest in the artistic and interpretative activities. The results of the research and experimental work on the implementation of the methodology of training future music teachers in interpreting musical works testify to its expediency and effectiveness. Keywords: hermeneutical approach, interpretation, musical work, artistic and interpretive activity, teachers of Music.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis study investigates the symbolic power of English in contemporary Indonesia as represented by Indonesian popular texts published following the New Order era (1966–1998) (popularly known as the Reformasi era). English, a language that entered the Indonesian linguistic landscape quite late, is still treated as a foreign language by many Indonesians but has been increasingly visible in popular texts since the Reformasi. This era has witnessed a political and societal turmoil that has resulted in expanded freedom of speech including more linguistic freedom overall. Using interpretive textual analysis, this study investigates how the popular narratives 9 Summers, 10 Autumns and the Ms. B series, published in the Reformasi era, maneuver English in their texts. The findings suggest that popular texts function as effective sociolinguistic sites to reveal the power of English and its societal entrenchment in contemporary Indonesia. They also show that English has been granted a special spotlight and status by many writers and characters in their novels, highlighting its significance in contemporary Indonesian popular texts.

The aim of the analysis is to present the film (Late Afternoon) by Gilles Renard as a study of melancholy. Both the plot and the cinematographic means used to shape the form of this short film correspond with the theoretical texts by Julia Kristeva and Melanie Klein on depression in women. The author of the text considers Late Afternoon as a feminist and affirmative film, strongly inspired by the aesthetics of Krzysztof Kieślowski’s cinematic output.

Full textAbstract:
Education entails conflicting perspectives about its subject matter. In the late 1980s, the conflict developed into a war between interpretive and causal paradigms. Did the confrontation result in a balance between these warring sides? We use text analysis to identify research trends in 137,024 dissertation abstracts from 1980 to 2010 and relate these to students’ academic employment outcomes. Topics associated with the interpretive approach rose in popularity, while the outcomes-oriented paradigm declined. Academic employment remained stably associated with topics in the interpretive approach, but their effect is moderated by the prestige of the students’ institutions. The relation between topic popularity and employability provides insight into field change and how the benefits of cultural shifts fall along the lines of institutional power.

In this essay, I return to the soap opera – but in a context hardly ever explored – an urban Indian city in the 21st century. Deriving insights from an empirical study that make interpretive negotiations of a specific Bengali television text its analytical object, this article argues that interpretive practices around the broadcast media texts act as resources in understanding lived media cultures in a historical frame and therefore provide a continued impetus to keep audience analysis on the map of communication and cultural studies without prematurely proclaiming its race is run in the age of digital media.

Full textAbstract:
In Kenya, English is the medium of instruction in schools and the official language of the country, although the majority of the learners are first additional language speakers of English. The study on which this article is based aimed to assess grade 10 Kenyan learners’ proficiency in English by examining their performance in comprehension and vocabulary on the basis of three tests incorporating multiple choice and interpretative questions. The data were collected from 422 grade 10 learners representing 16 schools in four provinces of Kenya. Learners were assessed on three comprehension passages which were selected from different genres. The results revealed that a large percentage of Kenyan learners encountered challenges with comprehension and vocabulary which impacted on their English language proficiency. The implications of the study is that there is a need for a reading skills development programme incorporating word analysis, recognition of the purpose of the text and tone, and the enhancement of inferential as well as predictive and interpretive skills.

The article proceeds through an analysis of treaty rights as constitutional rights, contextual analysis of Indian Treaties, the intent of the treaty parties and the principles which govern the interpretation of treaty text. The author concludes that the principles articulated by the Supreme Court of Canada are an attempt to affirm and enhance Aboriginal worldviews and cognitive diversity within the Constitution of Canada.

Full textAbstract:
How can ethnographic theories that are qualitative and interpretive in nature also be scientific? This article puts forth an illustrative answer: It employs quantitative text mining methods to falsify prior findings reached largely through qualitative interpretations. The author’s earlier research innovated on core anthropological methods to offer that U.S. public discourse on radioactive waste between 1945 and 2009 may be best understood in terms of two paradigmatic waves that differ from each other in conceptualization of nuclear waste as well as in how nuclear waste relates to the broader environment and to human health. This article distills those earlier qualitative findings into a list of refutable statements that are subsequently assessed through quantitative analysis of the textual corpus of the original proxy for the ethnographic repository through employing the R statistical programming language (Version 3.4.0). As this case of quantitative analysis lends confidence on the validity of the interpretive conclusions in question, this article suggests that quantitative falsification testing may be a fit way for ethnographic findings to fulfill their scientific ambitions.

Qur’anic Interpretation has an important place in the development of Muslim intellectual traditions and Islamic civilization in general. As a major source of Islamic teachings, Muslims have for centuries ago tried to understand the meaning of the Qur'an to fit the needs of the times, one of which is by the way of contextualization. In this case the author tries to explain the style of contextual interpretation initiated by Abdullah Saeed. In principle, Saeed explained that the tradition of interpreting the Qur'an contextually had existed since the beginning of the 1st century H and 2nd H, which was initiated by the friend of Umar Ibn al-Khattab (w.23 / 644). Because the socio-historical setting when the text of the Qur'an goes down is very possible to be interpreted contextually, so that the steps offered by Abdullah Saeed in addition to having a theoretical foundation in his interpretive style eat the steps offered by him. First, preliminary considerations (the Qur'anic world, the World of readers including life experiences and linguistic or linguistic aspects. Second, beginning the task of interpretation. Third, Identifying the meaning of the Text before interpretation includes lingistics, literature, types of texts, relationships with parallel text. Fourth, linking the interpretation of the text with the current context (understanding the context of the link, interpreting it through the next generation in succession, modern context analysis, comparison of contexts one and two, adopting relevant interpretations and checking the feasibility of interpretation.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the issue of organizing "multi-layer" reading at the literature lesson. A reader’s practice is proposed, where a hermeneutical approach is implemented, which allows to identify the socio-philosophical dominant of the text and on its basis to comprehend the architectonics of the poem. On the example of studying the poem by R.I. Rozhdestvensky “The Plane left” in the 9th grade, the author shows the evolution of the reader: from variants of everyday understanding of the meaning of the word “fight” to the sociophilosophical level. Going beyond the limits of the studied work allows us to judge the author’s worldview and compare it with the views of other poets of the sixties, which contributes to the development of interpretive abilities of ninth-graders. The poetics of R.I. Rozhdestvensky’s poems is mastered by means of commented reading, which reveals information gaps in the text, and lingo-poetic analysis, which reveals the figurative structure based on the antithesis. The inductive method of comprehending meaning focuses students’ attention on non-linear connections (contextual synonyms, parallelisms) that arise when comparing the semantic dominant with the information flows in the text of the ballad. Successive synesthetic images are transforming the whole complex of realistic paintings in the final symbol of romantic ballads that promotes awareness of the philosophical problem of the significance and fragility of human life, the difficulty of the trials that befell the man of the second half of the twentieth century. In this analysis, it becomes possible to identify significant semantic “nodes” for interpreting the work. The final “convolution” of information about the text of R.I. Rozhdestvensky’s occurs in the interpretive activity of schoolchildren who correlate this work with the work of R.I. Rozhdestvensky’s, which allows us to identify the constancy of his beliefs throughout his life and the dynamics of changes in leitmotif images-symbols in his work. Comparison of the role of socio-philosophical dominant in the work of poets of the sixties contributes to the students’ comprehension of the philosophical category of unity of diversity on the example of literature. Reading practice, combining the relationship between the figurative and logical in the presentation of material and the technological nature of the educational process, provides students with a certain degree of freedom to philosophize in the classroom, and the teacher is guaranteed for the effectiveness of its use.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyses the essence, content and specificity of future music teachers’ interpretive skills. The purpose of the article is to substantiate pedagogical conditions favourable for effective development of future music teachers’ interpretive skills in the process of their choral and conductorial training. These methods of theoretical research are used: analysis, generalisation, synthesis, extrapolation, deduction, systematisation. Interpretation is seen as the basis and the necessary condition for understanding a piece of music, the subjective (personal) attitude and creative imagination of a teacher of music being of great importance. The essence of interpretation in the context of the activity of the Musical Arts teacher lies in the interpretation of an artistic text which reflects the content of the author's message in key note symbols. In the activity of the Musical Arts teacher, there are two forms of interpretation: performing and verbal-pedagogical. The interpretation of the choral work is considered in the article as an artistic-performing conception of the conductor which is based on his/her artistic and imaginative ideas, knowledge; it is realised in his/her creative interaction with the choral team. The list of specific interpretive skills to be demonstrated by the future Music teachers in the context of choral and conductorial training has been clarified. A system of interrelated pedagogical conditions has been offered, it includes these constituents: increase of future specialists’ motivation for the choral and conductorial activities through realisation of the axiological potential of choral music; the implementation of the coaching pedagogical technologies into the choral and conductorial training intended for the future Music teachers; a systematic widening of future specialists’ thesaurus of artistic and imaginative ideas. Further research involves the development of a step-by-step methodology for the development of future Music teachers’ interpretative skills in the process of their choral training.

Full textAbstract:
This research provides an overview on horticulture innovations in the last decade through a literature review and the use of a computer qualitative data analysis. We used Leximancer text mining software to identify concepts, themes and pathways linked with horticulture innovations. The software tool enabled us to “zoom out” to gain a broad perspective of the pooled data, and it indicated which studies clustered around the dominant topic. It displays the extracted information in a visual form, to wit, an interactive concept map, which summaries the interconnected themes and demonstrates any interdependencies. The text mining analysis revealed that the themes strongly related to “innovation” are “water”, “urban”, “system”, “countries” and “technology”. The outputs identified have been interpreted to discover meaning from the content analysis, since the software can facilitate a comprehensive and transparent data coding but cannot replace researcher’s interpretive work. Furthermore, we focused on the diffusion and the barriers for the spread of innovation, pointing out the differences about developing and advanced countries. This analysis allows the researcher to have a holistic understanding of the examination area and could lead to further studies.

Full textAbstract:
This article is dedicated to the analysis of the structure of news narrative, which is relevant the context of interpretation of the event. The author believes that the news texts that do not contain a clear expressive or analytical component, interpretation consists in transformation of the narrative. News hold a special place among other media texts. News genres, to a greater extent that the analytical genres, satisfy people's information needs. If the analytical and publicistic texts the readers choose in accordance with their worldview and value system, then news texts are perceived as neutral, characterized by a stable structure, repeatability, reproducibility; they are virtually not affected by the specificity of a particular editorial policy, and, thus, have broader audience. At first glance, the patterns used for news writing, do not have impact on the audience; however, they are evaluative and interpretative, which is reflected in narrative structure of the text. The attitude of the author towards the event in the central episode is traced. Since the central episode is related to the actual event more than any other component of the narrative structure, it nonetheless, has considerable interpretive potential. Transformation of the key component testifies to the fact that narrative structure of the news material is quite adaptable, and may change under the influence of certain information. The additional secondary components of the narrative structure also have high interpretive potential, since their very presence in the text reflects the author's desire to deliver additional information, the choice of which directly affects interpretation of the event.

Full textAbstract:
Reported are the results of a computer-generated content-analysis procedure with open-ended methodology to identify issues of importance to elementary-education preservice teachers. Based on the findings of this study, computer-generated content analysis is a valuable method for determining concerns from narrative text since the concerns identified in the present study were similar to those found in the literature. However, they were solicited rather than determined through responses to a predetermined set of concerns and were determined by computer-generated word counts rather than human interpretive coding, making them considerably more representative, accurate, and reliable.

Full textAbstract:
This article proposes a three-step methodological framework called computational grounded theory, which combines expert human knowledge and hermeneutic skills with the processing power and pattern recognition of computers, producing a more methodologically rigorous but interpretive approach to content analysis. The first, pattern detection step, involves inductive computational exploration of text, using techniques such as unsupervised machine learning and word scores to help researchers to see novel patterns in their data. The second, pattern refinement step, returns to an interpretive engagement with the data through qualitative deep reading or further exploration of the data. The third, pattern confirmation step, assesses the inductively identified patterns using further computational and natural language processing techniques. The result is an efficient, rigorous, and fully reproducible computational grounded theory. This framework can be applied to any qualitative text as data, including transcribed speeches, interviews, open-ended survey data, or ethnographic field notes, and can address many potential research questions.

. The introduction to the paper outlines its aim to find ways of developing interpretative skills of the 5th-grade Suvorovites when teaching expressive reading. Materials and methods. The study is based on the analysis of psychological, pedagogical, and methodological literature, which help to teach the 5th-grade Suvorovites to deeply percept and understand literary text and subtext, and can foster the development of interpretative skills while teaching them to expressive reading. The research involves considering artistic interpretation as one of the most important directions of the literary development of reading Suvorovites. According to the study, the interconnection between the hermeneutic and axiological approaches to teaching expressive reading contributes to the development of recreational and creative imagination in the Suvorovites and reveals the deepest meanings of the work of fiction on a personal level. The results of the study. The study has determined the role of the hermeneutic and axiological aspects in the methodology of expressive reading. It has also considered the ways of building the interpretative competence in the younger adolescents of the Suvorov Military School through the work with the sounding word. Some features of the literary text perception by the Suvorovites have been analyzed, and the problems of the formation of the reader’s competence and interpretative skills have been identified, given a gender aspect. The paper also presents an interpretive analysis of the 5th-grade Suvorovites’ expressive reading of R. L. Stevenson’s ballad “Heather Honey” (translated by S. Ya. Marshak). This analysis of the Suvorovites work focuses on the development of emotional responsiveness, expansion of the intonation range, and teaching the empathetic principle in conjunction with the formation of ideas about the moral conceptual complex, which helps to deepen understanding of the ballad subtext and, therefore, not only improves the acting skills of the students but also cultivates their spiritual qualities (axiological aspect). Conclusion The study proves that the interconnection between the hermeneutic and axiological approaches to teaching expressive reading contributes to the efficient development of the interpretative skills of the Suvorovites-readers, allows them to penetrate the deepest meaning of the text, and forms the emotional intelligence and personal qualities of the first-year students of the Suvorov Military School. Keywords: expressive reading, interpretative abilities, hermeneutic approach, axiological approach, interpretative competence, acting analysis, emotional intelligence, text, subtext.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines and analyzes the linguistic and psychological features of political discourse using a computer-based Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) content analysis program to explore the relationship between political discourse and the personality of politicians. As for political discourse, it is perhaps the communicator, the linguistic personality, who plays the most important role in the communication. The linguistic personality of a politician is of particular interest in political discourse content-analysis, since it has the greatest influence on the public consciousness via mass media. Using text as a source of psychological and cognitive information has been gaining popularity. Researchers use a variety of methods to analyze texts, but Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (LIWC) has proved to be the most common technique. The analysis of linguistic patterns of political discourse shows that in the context of political speech events such as media interviews, politicians make a unique choice of lexical units, which can be interpreted as a manifestation of certain personality traits. However, despite the significance of the results, there are clear limitations to the use of computerized methodologies to make political discourse content-analysis, such as the limited interpretive capacity of software to understand pragmatic and contextual use of lexical units.

Economy and Society, one of the most influential oeuvres of the early twentieth century, with impact in several branches of the Human Sciences, has in one of its parts a text of particular interest to researchers of Ancient History, the Typology of Cities. Although Max Weber’s significant aims in composing his text were, blatantly, to evaluate the contemporary world, the density of the Weberian text, the fruit of a unique erudition, revealed an in-depth and singular analysis of the ancient Greek city. The purpose of this article is to analyze Weber’s interpretive choices, in the light of historiographical criticism and a careful analysis of the Typology, in articular as regards the ideal types which he made to understand the city of the ancient Greeks.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the linguistic shaping of a dramatic text and its influence on the text’s stage speech realisation, using the Slovenian translation of Brecht’s one-act play Malomeščanska svatba as an example. A dramatic text typically has a specific – and also graphically visible – textual and linguistic structure that indicates its speech intention. A linguistic analysis of Brecht’s text reveals a great speech potential, both in the stage directions (especially the stage directions for pauses, silence, spoken execution) and in the dialogue (characteristic linguistic elements for spontaneous speech). A short comparison of the text with the stage speech performance shows that the actor used not only prosody (especially pauses) to semantically enrich and rhythmically organise the written language, but also linguistic interventions into the lexical and syntactic structure (repetition, addition, omission, etc.). The great speech potential of the text thus stimulated the actor’s speech and interpretive creativity.

This study explored the experience of being a nurse working in a hospital. Using an interpretive phenomenological approach (M. van Manen, 1990), investigators employed text-based analysis to understand and elucidate the themes inherent in the experience. For 4 years, nurses working in 2 urban hospitals contributed stories and poems. These narratives bring to the fore the familiar but infrequently articulated caring work of hospital nurses.

Full textAbstract:
Spiritual exegesis of Hebrew Bible texts fuels the divide between two ecclesial instantiations of Anglicanism in the United States. This exegesis, engaged in strikingly similar manners by both organizations, remains bereft of its traditional controls that, if followed, would allow it to more productively shape ecclesial life. A look at four of these controls sets the stage for a detailed analysis of representative texts, which demonstrates how leaders in both organizations fail to properly hold their interpretive strategies accountable to the larger Christian narrative. In conclusion, brief consideration is given to how adherence to these controls could reshape the conflicts at hand by the exegesis of a Hebrew Bible text of liturgical significance to Anglicanism.

Full textAbstract:
Relevance of the study. The interpretive space of modern musical theater is one of the most dynamic, multivariate and modernized world culture phenomena. In the era of culture “non-classical paradigm” the past cult operas viability is maintained through their renewed representation and “alienation”. The refusal to perceive the author’s work as complete and the only possible for realization emancipates the modern interpretive strategy and opens up endless possibilities until the emergence of the “corporate” opera text’s phenomenon. So the interpretation process extends to the work’s “inner sanctum” — to its music and thus allows the involvement of the modern artist’s personality to co-author with the composer of the past. The unique example is the opera project “Boris” by corporate authorship of Modest Mussorgsky and contemporary Russian-German composer Sergei Nevsky (2020, Staatsoper). The need for update the ideas about the modern musical theater’s interpretive strategy and the lack of this project research provides the relevance and the innovative essence of the material.Main objective of the study is to determine the modern interpretive strategies of modern opera theater on the example of the project “Boris”.Methodology. The material specificity led to the adaptation of the fellowing research methods: the interpretive — to identify the modern musical theater main interpretive strategies in relation to the production of “Boris Godunov” by M. Mussorgsky with an emphasis on the project “Boris”; the hermeneutic-semantic — for the purpose of reveal the intonation-image specificity of the analyzed S. Nevsky’s project; the comparative — for juxtaposition of two co-operas authored by Mussorgsky and Nevsky as components of the project “Boris”; the holistic intonation analysis — to study the intonation and drama specifics of the hybrid work.Results and conclusions. The modernity interpretive reality initiates the emergence of radically new trends in the opera interpretation. An example of the modern musical theater innovative strategy is the hybrid project “Boris” synthesized from two stylistically contrasting operas that belong to different epochs: “Boris Godunov” by M. Mussorgsky and “Second-hand Time” by S. Nevsky. The research considered the intonation-genre specificity and its indicators from the point of view of the associative musical text theory. The associative text of “Boris” exists in two versions: as a quotation (in S. Nevsky’s opera “Second-hand Time” was adapted the material from “Boris Godunov” by M. Mussorgsky); b) in the form of a whole work presented by Mussorgsky’s opera “Boris Godunov” in the framework of the entire project “Boris” which is a unique opera phenomenon.

This article is a critical discourse analysis that explored how two students participated in classroom talk about written text. We analyzed field notes and transcripts from classroom videotapes and student interviews according to three dimensions, description, interpretation, and explanation, and with concern for three contexts, situational, institutional, and societal. The students participated in talk in complicated, devolving ways over 1 school year - ways that seemed tied to a variety of social constructions inside and outside the classroom. One participated in classroom talk about text with an assumption of expertise, only to lose credibility when his teacher expected richer interpretive insights. The other participated in such talk from an assumption of equality, yet no one listened to what she said until it diverged from the supportable, in which case they derided her. Our analysis suggests that we should be vigilant in our setup and monitoring of individuals' participation in classroom talk, about text and otherwise, looking to disrupt ways it is embedded with hurtful institutional and societal discourses. Such attention may help us to develop more equitable literacy pedagogy.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the variability of translation of the text of fiction as performed by different translators. The purpose of the work is to study and identify the diversity of the translation strategies and features of their application in the translation of a literary text. The method of comparative analysis proved to be effective in the scientific investigation. The subject of the research is a literary text, its original and translation. The postulates of translation theorists on linguistic variability and multiplicity of translations have been outlined. The subjective-objective activity of the translator as a mediator in bilingual communication was highlighted. The peculiarities of Chuck Palahniuk's writing style have been determined and the preservation of the author's individual style in Ukrainian translations has been analyzed. A comparative analysis of fragments of the translation of the literary text made by Ukrainian translators has been carried out. It was discovered that in the process of translation the translator relies not only on his knowledge of the languages, but also on the general knowledge of other areas of human life. It has been established that the perception and understanding of the text by the recipients depends on how the translator interprets the text of the original and how adequately s/he conveys its context and whether s/he is able to preserve the author's style. The study was based on the novel "Fight Club" by the contemporary American writer Chuck Palahniuk and its translations into Ukrainian by Illia Strongovskyi and Oleh Lesko. It has been proved that translations made into the same language by different translators can differ significantly from each other.

Full textAbstract:
Text, reader, and author are three entities that are interlocked in a process of understanding text. For Friedrich D.E. Schleiermacher, someone can only understand the text he/she reads if he/she delves into the author's psychological experience and knows exactly the phrases that the author uses in writing text. Talking about reading the Qur’an as a text found by modern humans today which its existence as a text is revealed in the seventh century in the Arabic nation, it is a must for anyone to know the Arabic grammatical used by the Qur'an. This article discusses linkages between the language analysis formulated by Schleiermacher and the method of understanding the Qur'an which is today found in the text form with special reference to the four key terms discussed. Using the descriptive-analysis method this research finds that Schleiermacher’s hermeneutic becomes relevant to Quranic studies because it can enrich existing interpretive methods. The concept of psychological hermeneutics will contribute to the realm of asbāb al-nuzūl study and the necessity of proper faith. Whereas the grammatical will contribute to the realm of understanding Qur’an as ancient Arabic text.

Full textAbstract:
This essay deals with the issue of guilt, repentance and rebirth in the short novel Semejnoe sčast’e (Family Happiness) by Lev N. Tolstoy (1859). The author first considers the concepts of ‘offense’, ‘repentance’ and ‘forgiveness’ through an analysis of the Russian terminology used by Tolstoy for these semantic fields (obida, dosada, vina, raskajanie, pokajanie); next, in an analysis of Clemente Rebora’s Italian translation (1920), special attention is paid to the differences from the original text that signal the translator’s interpretive reading, which, at the same time, becomes a tool for understanding it. It is shown how, in the transition from Russian into Italian, semantic shifts and phonetic symbolism add a mystical tension to the original Tolstoyan text which is typical of the poetry of Clemente Rebora.

Full textAbstract:
This article analyses the German radio play adaptation of Philip Roth's novel Indignation (Empörung, 2010) from an audionarratological perspective and shows how both the book and the radio play offer potential for multisensory experiences on the part of readers and radio audiences. The article furthermore explores how the two media differ in their semiotic and sensory affordances and possibilities. It is argued that aural signs and signals predetermine certain aspects of the storyworld in the radio play: for example, characters' and the narrator's voices, soundscapes, but also ambient sound and music. Due to its focus on the aural channel, radio drama calls on audiences' imagination in distinct ways, while also complicating narratological concepts. The ‘transcriptivity’ from written to spoken text that is inherent in the transposition of novel into radio play accounts for the fact that the radio play also adds new multisensory and interpretive dimensions to its pre-text. It therefore has to be considered in its own right, as an artistic form appealing to its audiences through its own sensory channels.

In this article, we explore relations between health, being, belonging and place through an interpretive thematic analysis of autobiographic text and photographs about the everyday lives of 10 women and men living with medically unexplained long-term fatigue in Norway. While interpreting their place-related illness experiences, we ask: How do they experience their being in the world, where do they experience a sense of belonging/not belonging, and why do places become places of belonging/not belonging? The participants describe experiences of (a) being socially detached and alienated, (b) being imprisoned, (c) being spectators who observe the world, and (d) senses of belonging. They describe senses of being and belonging/not belonging as closely attached to physical and symbolic aspects of places in which they reside, and they wistfully reflect on the question of “why.” The study illustrates the influence of experienced place—material as well as immaterial—on health and illness.

Full textAbstract:
This paper argues for an integration of post-structuralist and linguistic pragmatic perspectives on discourse as a response to the post-structuralist methodological deficit. In order to make his argument, the author presents and illustrates the logics approach to discourse, subjectivity and hegemony as presented by Jason Glynos and David Howarth. This post-structuralist approach constitutes a response to the methodological deficit that haunts much of post-structuralist discourse theory. Nevertheless, it does not provide a linguistic toolbox for analysis. Zienkowski argues that the logics approach can be brought to bear on empirical analysis through the notion of metapragmatic markers. These are linguistic tools that allow us to investigate the self-interpretations of individuals. The practical relevance of using metapragmatic markers in the identification of interpretive logics will be illustrated by means of an analysis of a critical response to the implementation of the Bologna process in Germany. Zienkowski studies Dietrich Lemke’s critical article called Mourning Bologna published in a special issue of E-flux journal n° 14 devoted to the Bologna process. More specifically, he investigates how Lemke constructs his critical stance. Throughout this process, Zienkowski proposes an interpretive and functionalist heuristic for identifying the interpretive logics operative in his text by means of a functional analysis of metapragmatic markers. He concludes with an argument for integrating both perspectives while emphasising that any articulation of post-structuralist and linguistic pragmatic theories of discourse involves some significant reconsiderations with respect to the indexical and differential theories of meaning that characterise each perspective respectively.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents a software-based methodology for studying metaphor in discourse, mainly within the framework of Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT). Despite a welcome recent swing towards methodological reflexivity, a detailed explication of the pros and cons of different procedures is still in order as far as qualitative research (i.e. a context-sensitive manual coding of a text corpus) is concerned. Qualitatively oriented scholars have to make difficult decisions revolving around the general research design, the transfer of linguistic theory into method, good workflow management, and the aimed at scope of analysis. My first task is to pinpoint typical tasks and demonstrate how they are optimally dealt with by using qualitative annotation software like ATLAS.ti. Software not only streamlines metaphor tagging itself, it systematizes the interpretive work from grouping text items into systematic/conceptual metaphor sets, via data surveys and checks, to quantitative comparisons and a cohesion-based analysis. My second task is to illustrate how a good research design can provide a step-wise procedure, offer systematic validation checks, keep the code system slim and many analytic options open. When we aim at complex data searches and want to handle high metaphor diversity I recommend compositional coding, i.e. tagging source and target domains separately (instead of adopting a “one mapping-one code” strategy). Furthermore, by tagging metaphors for image-schematic and rich semantic source domains in parallel, i.e. two-tier coding, we get multiple options for grouping metaphors into systematic sets.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper tackles the vexed relationship between the ethical and the legal in the patriarchal construction of marriage and spousal rights in Islamic interpretive tradition and its modern manifestations (i.e. contemporary Muslim family laws and conservative religious discourses). I approach the issue from two angles. First, I examine the work of selected Muslim women scholars from different countries, who since the late 1980s and early 1990s have been engaging critically with Islamic interpretive tradition, to unpack and critique patriarchal interpretations and rulings on marriage and divorce rights, and provide alternative egalitarian readings that are grounded in Qurʾānic ethics. Second, I shed light on how this patriarchal construction of marriage and gender rights impacts the lived realities of ordinary Muslim women and men. I focus on two national contexts: Egypt and Finland. I show-through analysis of courtroom practices in family disputes, marriage practices, and ordinary women’s understandings of the sacred text-that the exegetical and juristic construction of spousal roles and rights is increasingly unsustainable in the lived realities of many Muslims as well as becoming a source of tension on an ethico-religious level.

Increasingly, discourse makes and sustains the worlds we live in. Critical discourse analysis (CDA) is one form of a justifiably reflective and suspicious inspection of how discourses shape and frame us; and it is explicitly intent on making a difference, and not merely describing extant conditions. Why, then, has it met with some resistance from language analysts? For CDA to make more of a difference, I argue it needs to critique some of its own theoretical distinctions (e.g. between description and interpretive explanation), it needs to be more critical and more demanding of the text linguistics it uses, it must strive for greater thoroughness and strength of evidence in its argumentation while pursuing simplicity of presentation, and it must not shrink from prescribing correction or reform of particular hegemonizing discourses.

Abstract This article develops, through an analysis of a single example, a linguistic ap-proach to narrative. I argue that the discourse structure of a text functions to set up a series of interpretive questions, questions that must be answered by any acceptable interpretation, but that also constrain what count as acceptable inter-pretations. I argue that the text I use as an example, a narrative from a woman in her 20s suffering from schizophrenia, is a typical-if striking-example of human narrative sense making. The global organization of the narrative, like all deeply senseful uses of language, flows from the organization of the discourse system (line and stanzas) and from the lived and earned coherence of the narra-tor's life.

Because textual scholarship, having no definable Fach, or subject matter, is an exemplary postmodernist antidiscipline, it can serve as a site for testing the epistemological assumptions and protocols of the current debate over the status of evidence and the nature of proof. Since text is “authority” and “original” and yet also “network” and “tissue” and since forensics encompasses both hard physical “facts” and the rhetorical formulation that gives such data interpretive meaning, a textual forensics will codify and test the interaction of the phenomenological world and the hermeneutic analysis of its evidence. With procedural and conceptual links both to scientific empiricism and to rhetorical strategies for persuasion, textual scholarship becomes a vehicle for anatomizing the postmodernist breakdown of the master narratives, including that of evidence and proof.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Allusions to the uniqueness and value of childhood abound in academic, lay, and policy discourse. However, little clarity exists on the values that guide child health and social policy-making. We review extant academic literature on the normative dimensions of child health and social policy to provide foundations for the development of child-focused public policies. Methods: We conducted a critical interpretive synthesis of academic literature on the normative dimensions of child health and social policy-making. We employed a social constructivist lens to interpret emergent themes. Political theory on the social construction of target populations served as a bridge between sociologies of childhood and public policy analysis. Results: Our database searches returned 14,658 unique articles; full text review yielded 72 relevant articles. Purposive sampling of relevant literature complemented our electronic searches, adding 51 original articles, for a total of 123 articles. Our analysis of the literature reveals three central themes: potential, rights, and risk. These themes retain relevance in diverse policy domains. A core set of foundational concepts also cuts across disciplines: well-being, participation, and best interests of the child inform debate on the moral and legal dimensions of a gamut of child social policies. Finally, a meta-theme of embedding encompasses the pervasive issue of a child’s place, in the family and in society, which is at the heart of much social theory and applied analysis on children and childhood. Conclusions: Foundational understanding of the moral language and dominant policy frames applied to children can enrich analyses of social policies for children. Most societies paint children as potent, vulnerable, entitled, and embedded. It is the admixture of these elements in particular policy spheres, across distinct places and times, that often determines the form of a given policy and societal reactions to it. Subsequent work in this area will need to detail the degree and impact of variance in the values mix attached to children across sociocultural contexts and investigate tensions between what are and what ought to be the values that guide social policy development for children.

"Writing between the lines: A secondary analysis of unsolicited narratives from cancer survivors regarding their fear of cancer recurrence." Canadian Oncology Nursing Journal 31, no. 1 (2021): 83–91. http://dx.doi.org/10.5737/236880763118391.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is a common concern for posttreatment cancer survivors. In this secondary analysis we explore cancer survivors’ unsolicited narratives on a survey about FCR. Methods: We used an interpretive descriptive approach and statistical analyses to explore these narratives and determine the characteristics of survivors who did and did not provide narratives. Findings: We developed three themes based on our analysis: describe posttreatment experiences; elaborate or contextualize FCR responses and use their voice toward change in cancer care. Those who provided narratives had lower overall FCR. Most narratives were used to provide context to responses or to indicate that some survey items were irrelevant. Conclusion: Our results highlight potential reasons for unsolicited narratives on a survey and illuminate the potential value of expressive interventions for cancer survivors. Results indicate the usefulness of mixed methods approaches where survey respondents are offered space to provide open text.
