Doctor-patient exchanges in web counselling
2011
There are two overall approaches to doctor-patient interaction: the biomedical one and the socio-relational one. The biomedical approach is the most common and tends to explore the asymmetrical doctor-patient relationship. with the doctor seeking information about the patient’s complaints, giving a diagnosis and prescribing a treatment. The aim of this kind of communication is to create a good relationship in order to exchange information and facilitate treatment-related decisions. However, it is well-known that the production of talk is linked to the context. The relationship between doctor and patients can be performed online, through specific collaborative care service sites. It is still…

William Penn - Forme di governo e identità linguistica
2008
William Penn (Tower Hill, Londra, 1644 - Ruscombe, 1718) è conosciuto in Europa come un leader quacchero e in America come il fondatore della Pennsylvania. Gli altri aspetti della sua personalità e l'importanza da lui attribuita alla lingua sono stati sinora posti in secondo ordine, anche se contribuiscono come i primi, a fare luce su un personaggio tanto complesso quanto contraddittore. Questo lavoro è il primo tentativo in Italia di una rielaborazione in maniera organica, del ruolo politico di William Penn nell'Inghilterra e nell'America del XVII secolo e del posto da lui occupato nella letterartura quacchera in difesa delle scelte linguistiche dei correligionari. Sono riportati in append…
Developing a new approach to managing and mediating conflicts
2017
Generally speaking, words can be elusive and they need to be carefully selected when conveying messages, ideas and proposals between parties. This is all the more evident in mediation process as language has to be neutral and mediators should avoid expressions directing parties. In this regard, recent theoretical developments in postmodern social theory and the social constructionist movement in the social sciences and humanities have provided the field of alternative dispute resolution with a new approach to managing and mediating conflicts. These developments are organized around the ‘narrative approach’ which helps us to see how the language we use to describe and understand our conflict…
Negotiating the Terminological Borders of ‘Language Mediation’ in English and Italian. A Discussion on the Repercussions of Terminology on the Practi…
2015
Linguistic and cultural mediation has been playing an increasingly important role in contemporary society as a result of the intensification of international exchanges and migration flows; however, the definitions that have been given of it are still rather vague and inconsistent. In some cases linguistic and cultural mediation is seen as a broad superordinate category, comprising a range of different interlinguistic and intercultural activities serving the purpose of facilitating communication across languages, cultures and societies in various areas of civil society: industry, business, trade, law, literature, academia, institutions, public services, etc. In other cases, instead, the defi…
L'USO DELLE METAFORE IN ADR
2016
Il contributo analizza il ruolo che la metafora può̀ assumere tra le strategie comunicative dei partecipanti a una mediazione, definita dal capo 1, lett. a), D.Lgs. n. 28/2010 come l’attività “svolta da un terzo imparziale e finalizzata ad assistere due o più̀ soggetti nella ricerca di un accordo amichevole per la composizione di una controversia, anche con formulazione di una proposta per la risoluzione della stessa”. L’analisi prende in considerazione i recenti contributi di alcuni studiosi anglo-americani – Haynes 1999; Smith 2003, 2004, 2005, 2009; Chmielecki 2013; Ebbesson 1988, 2008 – sull’uso e sull’utilità̀ delle metafore concettuali nei sistemi di ADR. Il contributo mostra le diver…

Decolonial Thinking and Refugees’ Stories. The Queens of Syria Documentary (2014)
2019
As an important stimulus for the international mushrooming of artistic creativity in public spaces, counter narratives by displaced people are contributing to the reframing of the political and sociolinguistic contemporary framework, where migrant identities are fighting to gain a voice. A counter wave of audiovisual productions based on aesthetic discourse has emerged within territories that seem to be losing their humanity with respect to migration issues, and seem to publicly reinforce forms of spectacularisation. Against a backdrop of international political conflict, where migrants and dispossessed refugees are nameless and cannot speak, visual and performative arts have taken on a dec…
A corpus-based discourse analysis of security in White House press briefings
2016
White House press briefings are daily meetings between the White House press secretary and the press. As one of the main official channels of communication for the White House, they play a crucial role in the administration communication strategies (Kumar 2007). Security has always been a key concept in political debate (Buzan 2000), particularly after the events of 9/11 and the rising of a new regime of international security (Fairclough 2007). Our analysis of a corpus of press briefings ranging across five presidencies, from Bill Clinton to Barack Obama, will focus on the lexical item security from a modern diachronic corpus-assisted discourse studies perspective (Partington 2010). The an…
