Persuasion in journalistic sub-genres of opinion : interpersonal metadiscusive uses in English and Spanish
2011
Análisis metadiscursivo interpersonal en sub-géneros de opinión en inglés y español en artículos de economía. Journalistic genres share a common communicative objective: to inform and entertain readers through persuasion, this being a major function that pervades most journalistic texts. Therefore, their interpersonal metadiscourse should, forecastedly, contain a number of linguistic devices that comply this function, although sub-genres of opinion in English and Spanish may presumably present quantitative and qualitative differences, since metadiscourse is usually not only constrained by generic features but also by sociolinguistic habits changing from one language to another (Suau-Jiménez…

Pope Francis’ “Culture of Encounter” and “Fraternity”: Enhancing the Postsecular Discourse in IR
2021
On February 4, 2019, the Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together was signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam Ahmad al-Tayeb in Abu Dhabi. The moment marked a historical breakthrough in the area of interreligious dialogue becoming one of the broadest commented interreligious initiatives of the last decades. But it also symbolized the changing role of religious discourse in its relation to the political discourse as well as their mutual “entanglement”. Soon the series of events that followed visibly evidenced the growing role of the religious ideas and religious actors in the global discussion on the most problematic contemporary issues and their increasingly collab…
Makes sense, Maken järki : a case study of using English while playing
2015
Englanninkielen käyttöä suomenkielisen tekstin lomassa on tutkittu videopeleihin liittyen keskusteluanalyysiä käyttäen, muttei koskaan diskurssi- tai sisältöanalyysillä. Myöskään pelivideoissa esiintyvää kielen vaihtelua ei ole tutkittu. Tämä tutkimus pyrkii selvittämään tapaustutkimuksen kautta, miten suomea äidinkielenään käyttävä pelivideoiden tekijä käyttää videoissaan englantia. Tarkoituksena on myös yrittää kategorisoida erilaisia englannin kielen käyttötapoja. Tutkimuksen aineistoksi valittiin yksi noin 20 minuutin pelivideo suositulta Youtube-kanavan pitäjältä. Aineistoksi kerättiin videosta jokainen englantia tai lainasanoja sisältänyt fraasi ja ne litteroitiin. Tutkimuksessa analy…
Exploring Creativity Expectation in CS1 Students’ View of Programming
2020
Full paper in Research category: Literature provides creativity definitions that are applicable to educational settings. For example, the definition by Plucker et al. emphasizes the ‘social context’ in which the usefulness and novelty of a creative outcome is evaluated, and notes that this emphasis allows students’ coursework to be deemed creative without extraordinary characteristics. Computing educators tend to assume that incoming CS course populations welcome creativity, and utilize application contexts (e.g., games, media, arts, and robots) in which creativity is a central attribute. Previous research also suggests that beginner CS students may initially possess versatile identities re…
Paternal mental health trajectory classes and early fathering experiences
2016
A father’s mental health is important for family well-being, but research is scarce on paternal symptoms during the transition to fatherhood. This study identified fathers’ latent mental health trajectory classes from the pre- to postnatal period and examined their associations with early fathering experiences. It further analysed, whether a family’s infertility history was associated with mental health trajectory classes and moderated their effects on fathering experiences. Finnish fathers ( N = 773) reported psychological distress (General Health Questionnaire; GHQ-36) and depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory; BDI-13) in pregnancy (T1), and at 2 months (T2) and 12 months (T3) p…
The Ideal Learner as Envisioned by Can Do Statements and Grammar Revisions: How Textbook Agency Is Constructed
2022
AbstractIn this chapter, we analyse the features of textbooks that enable and facilitate their role as material agents in the classroom. Rather than analyse the ways textbooks are used in interaction with humans, we analyse the elements in the textbook itself that facilitate intra-action and the ensuing material agency. Based on a discursive analysis of self-assessment in one textbook and discussing that construct against the Finnish national core curriculum and previous research, we present an ‘ideal imaginary’ of classroom activities as construed in the textbook. This helps us understand the textbooks in their pedagogical ergonomics; i.e. as socio-material in the classroom. We conclude by…
