Changing Perceptions of Multiculturalism in the British Public Sphere
2017
This paper is devoted to the examination of the evolution of the uses of the term multiculturalism in a corpus of selected speeches by prominent British politicians, officials and diplomats in the United Kingdom within the decade 2001–2011. Britain is considered to be one of Europe’s most multicultural countries and there was a time when its government took pride in its pro-integration policies. That is why within the elite discourses of the Labour governments of the late 1990s, multiculturalism had overwhelmingly positive connotations: it was associated with new opportunities, strength, enrichment, social progress and economic success. However, over the course of the 2000s there was much d…

Déchiffrement historique de l’écriture libanienne. À propos de Libanios, Discours 48 et 49
2016
The main theme, the direct relationship with the career of Libanius and the rhetorical common framework, unite at historical level the speeches 48 and 49. The evidence of these two speeches is of primary importance to know the institutional, legal, economic, and social situation in the second half of the 4th century A.D. Indeed, they document a series of transformations, or the appearance of new phenomena: the strong diversification of the curial class, and a broadening gap between the prôtoi and the mere bouleutai; the desertion of the boulai ; the rise in Antioch of new study subjects such as Latin and law. A twofold ideal can be inferred from these two Libanius’ speeches: on the one hand…
The debate on rare diseases : a look at media response
2015
Este artículo se encuentra disponible en la siguiente URL: https://ojs.uv.es/index.php/Metode/article/view/7188/7809 Este monográfico lleva por título "Science grid : the public understanding of science". Rare diseases (RDs) are those that affect fewer than five people in every 10,000. There are around 7,000 RDs, they are difficult to diagnose and very few have a treatment. This article explores how the media report on the arguments and counter-arguments regarding the access to drugs for these pathologies, with critical discourse analysis for the case of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. We concluded that, in times of crisis, the debate polarises around economic arguments (the price of drugs), r…
Merito, responsabilità e incertezza nel dibattito su Mitilene (Tucidide III 39 ss.)
2017
Questo contributo analizza le due sezioni esordiali dell’antilogia di Cleone e Diodoto sulla punizione da infliggere ai Mitilenesi per la loro rivolta, presentata da Tucidide nel III libro. Nei due incipit, così come in altri punti chiave dell’agone retorico, gli oratori definiscono le categorie di “responsabilità” e “responsabilizzazione”, “titolo” e “merito”. Attraverso la contrapposizione tra i due discorsi, Tucidide mette in luce l’“incertezza” come condizione necessaria e qualificante di una autentica “deliberazione”. This paper analyzes the introductive sections in the antilogical speeches of Cleon and Diodotus on the punishment that Mytileneans deserve for their revolt (Thucydides, b…
Non solo Platone. Il primato dell'oralità nel retore Alcidamante
2020
Il saggio è dedicato all’orazione Sugli autori dei discorsi scritti o sui sofisti, attribuita al retore Alcidamante, discepolo di Gorgia e attivo in Atene tra il 410 e il 365 a.C. Argomento dell’orazione è il serrato confronto tra due differenti modalità oratorie, l’autoschediazein (“parlare a braccio”) — cui Alcidamente accorda una netta superiorità — e il "gegrammena legein (“pronunciare discorsi scritti”). L’interesse di questo testo (databile con buona approssimazione intorno al 390 a. C) consiste essenzialmente nel rappresentare un punto di vista specificamente retorico sulla questione delle differenze tra scritto e parlato. Nonostante alcune significative convergenze con il ben più ce…

Pārliecināšana kā stratēģija politiskās runās
2020
Pārliecināšana ir viena no mijiedarbes procesos bieži lietotajām komunikācijas metodēm. Vēlēšanu kampaņu laikā kandidāti nereti savās runās izmanto retorikas rīkus, lai manipulētu ar savu mērķauditoriju un iegūtu potenciālo vēlētāju atbalstu. Šī darba mērķis ir izpētīt un pamatot, kā retorika un pārliecināšana izpaužas valodas lietojumā. Pētījuma metode ir diskursa analīze. Pētījums veikts divos līmeņos (micro un meta), pamatojoties uz amerikāņu sociologa Ārona Sikurela (Aaron Cicourel) izstrādāto satura un nozīmes analīzes struktūru. Tika analizētas un pētītas piecas prezidenta Trampa runas. Pētījumu rezultāti norādīja uz deklaratīvo un komisīvo runas aktu izmantojumu, lai radītu pragmatis…
Odmiana medialna języka a ustne wypowiedzi uczniów
2022
This article seeks to answer the question whether features of media language can be discerned in the utterances of the younger generation and, if so, which ones. The oral presentations performed during the secondary school final examinations (obtained from the recordings) were studied. They have never been analysed in this respect before. The presentations have, on the one hand, an official character and, on the other, are spontaneous as they are produced on an ad hoc and continuous basis, with no possibility of predicting their final shape. First, the article reviews the characterisation of media language by researchers working on the subject in order to establish a group of the most disti…
