Przebieg rozwoju mowy u dzieci z SLI-PE i LB – analiza porównawcza
2017
W niniejszym artykule prezentujemy fragment szeroko zakrojonych badań poświęconych problematyce dzieci z poważnym opóźnieniem w rozwoju mowy; opóźnieniem, którego nie można wiązać z żadnym uchwytnym czynnikiem etiologicznym (jak w wypadku dzieci z późnym rozkwitem mowy LB – ang. late bloomers, czy dzieci ze specyficznym zaburzeniem językowym – SLI, ang. specific language impairment). Postawienie trafnej diagnozy przed ukończeniem 3. r.ż. dziecka, tj odróżnienie zjawiska late bloomers od late talkers, czyli dzieci później rozkwitających pod względem językowym od później mówiących jest obecnie niemożliwe ze względu na brak doniesień z badań poświęconych dzieciom z LB i analiz porównawczych.

Libertad de expresión y el caso del lenguaje del odio. Una aproximación desde la perspectiva norteamericana y la perspectiva alemana
2010
Resumen Este artículo analiza las concepciones sobre la libertad de expresión en el caso del lenguaje del odio, centrándose en algunos aspectos de la perspectiva norteamericana y en algunos aspectos de la perspectiva alemana. El primer modelo está basado en la libertad negativa y se corresponde con la visión del mercado de las ideas que ha elaborado la jurisprudencia de la Corte Suprema norteamericana. Este Tribunal ha otorgado una papel prioritario a la libertad de expresión, que debería limitarse sólo en casos de un peligro claro y presente o amenaza de desordenes públicos. El segundo modelo, centrado en la libertad positiva, otorga un papel prioritario a la dignidad humana frente a la l…
Literārie darbi vecākā pirmsskolas vecuma stāstītprasmes pilnveidošanai
2017
Kvalifikācijas darbs „Literārie darbi vecākā pirmsskolas vecuma stāstītprasmes pilnveidošanai” mērķis ir izvērtēt 5 – 6 gadus vecu bērnu stāstītprasmi un izpētīt vai literārie darbi nostiprina un pilnveido bērnu stāstītprasmi. Darba autore izpētījusi, ka literārie darbi pilnveido bērnu stāstītprasmi, ja pieaugušais nodrošina šo procesu ar bērnam uzskatāmiem materiāliem un izvēlas literāro darbu atbilstoši bērna interesēm un spējām. Apkopojot teorētiskās atziņas, pedagoģiskā izmēģinājuma rezultātus, pētījuma laikā uzkrāto pieredzi, darba autore secina, ka bērns savā stāstījumā netikai atspoguļo savas runas prasmes līmeni, bet arī savas domas, emocijas, pieredzi – garīgās un emocionālās attīs…
Glottal Source Features for Automatic Speech-Based Depression Assessment
2017
Depression is one of the most prominent mental disorders, with an increasing rate that makes it the fourth cause of disability worldwide. The field of automated depression assessment has emerged to aid clinicians in the form of a decision support system. Such a system could assist as a pre-screening tool, or even for monitoring high risk populations. Related work most commonly involves multimodal approaches, typically combining audio and visual signals to identify depression presence and/or severity. The current study explores categorical assessment of depression using audio features alone. Specifically, since depression-related vocal characteristics impact the glottal source signal, we exa…
Izvairīšanās no lingvistiski-pragmatiskās kļūdas angļu valodā
2019
Šī bakalaura darba mērķis ir analizēt, vai lingvistiskais netiešums var izraisīt lingvistiski-pragmatisko kļūdu, un kādus lingvistiskos instrumentus var izmantot, lai izvairītos no konflikta. Lai analizētu politisko interviju plašsaziņas līdzekļos, tiek izmantota kvalitatīva pētījuma metode, kuras mērķis ir izpētīt, kā atrisināt lingvistisko netiešumu sarunā, kā atšķirt pateikto no tā, ko vēlas pateikt, kā arī to, kā izvairīties no lingvistiski–pragmatiskās kļūdas neskaidras valodas dēļ. Rezultāti liecina, ka kritērijs spējai pieņemt mijiedarbību ir atkarīgs no tā, cik lielā mērā tā var būt kaitīga sarunu partneriem, jo ikvienam sarunas partnerim pirmām kārtām rūp viņa personīgais tēls. Līd…
Speech technology as an experimental science: towards the comparative dynamics of Sprechkunde in Germany and Russia in the late nineteenth to early t…
2016
The article examines various resonances of the “speech technology” (Sprechkunde) current in German and Russian-Soviet context of 1900–1920s. It contains first of all a brief history of the techniques of speech in Germany, an inquiry into some psychophysical sources of the “speech technology” and a survey of the contribution of German “new rhetoric” to this movement. The Russian counterparts of this trend include the Institute of the Living Word (Institut živogo slova, 1918–1923), some Russian formalists, the scenic speech specialists and the theatre pedagogues. The conclusion summarises the historical significance of “speech technology” and its common features in Germany and Russia. It turn…
Where lol is: function and position of lol used as a discourse marker in YouTube comments
2020
Lol is probably one of the most popular words in computer-mediated communication. It is generally taken to be the acronym of “laughing out loud”, but it is not always used to indicate a humorous response; rather, it is multifunctional. Drawing on previous studies of the different functions of lol, this paper explores a possible correlation between the position and function of non-lexicalized lol in the specific context of YouTube comments. The hypothesis is that the function of lol largely depends on its position: clause-initial lol is not used with the same functions as clause-final lol. The data for the study come from the comment threads of three popular YouTube videos posted in 2017, 20…
Are Online Haters Psychopaths? Psychological Predictors of Online Hating Behavior
2020
Despite growing prevalence of derogatory online behaviors, still little is known about psychological factors underlying this negative phenomenon. In the present study, we aimed to compare characteristics of persons who post hating and non-hating comments about Polish sports players during Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang (2018) on the Internet. Ninety-four Internet users (41% women) participated in the study, among which 46 posted hating comments. After one month, participants were invited to take part in a psychological survey, and filled the Dark Triad questionnaire, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Scale of Frustration, and the Scale of Envy. Results showed that high scores in Ps…
The proceedings of Spanish Audiovisual Councils on discriminatory discourse
2021
Mass media, and especially television, are powerful discursive instruments, responsible for the construction of social imagery through ideologically determined content. For this reason, the creation of a regulatory body with authority over the audiovisual sector in countries without one was urged by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe in 2000. Spain is the only EU country without an audiovisual council with authority at the state level. Currently, only the Audiovisual Council of Catalonia (CAC), created in 2000, and the Audiovisual Council of Andalusia (CAA), which dates from 2004, operate in Spain. Within an environment increasingly marked by hate speech, this research anal…
