Stratégies argumentatives dans la presse écologiste française : métaphores, jeux de mots et détournements
2016
International audience; Nous proposons d'analyser la médiatisation en France des enjeux environnementaux à travers la presse écologiste. Ces publications se caractérisent par des formulations nourries d'images discursives, de métaphores et de métonymies, de détournements, d'exploitation d'implicites et de jeux de mots qu'il s'agit d'étudier non seulement sur le plan des effets de sens mais comme une véritable stratégie argumentative mise en place par ce type de presse.
A cognitive-based approach to President Obama’s educational discourse through the lens of his State of the Union Addresses (2009-2016)
2017
In order to gain a cultural understanding of the discourse on education used by President Obama, this article examines the source domains commonly used to refer to education in his State of the Union Addresses, from the time he took office in 2009 to 2016 when he will leave office. The study will proceed by applying insights from Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT), within the field of cognitive linguistics, supplemented by the Metaphor Identification Procedure (MIP) developed by the Pragglejazz Group. The source domains identified and discussed are: COMPETITION and ECONOMICS. In fact, the strong coherence in Obama’s speeches relies on the use of the story of competition as the concept that is…
'Different' and 'distinct' as markers of otherness: A corpus-driven study of the (re)creation of privilege in high standard hotels.
2020
The present study seeks to offer an understanding of how high-end hotel websites produce privilege, creating a sense of belonging and entitlement for their 4/5-star guests. The experience of tourism is intrinsically linked to embracing otherness, and as a reflection of this, hotel websites offer a characterization of cultural otherness in an attempt to make it resonate with the potential expectations of a socioeconomically privileged client. The study considers the question of what elements of experience of otherness the website will address, relying on a Critical Discourse Analysis perspective and drawing on Bourdieu's notion of habitus as related to lifestyle, difference and distinction. …
How hotel websites may discursively adjust to customer preferences using online criticism
2019
This paper explores discursive ways in which hotels may improve their own websites using online criticism to adjust to customer preferences. To this end, a combined method was used, consisting of a netnographic approach (Kozinet, 2010; Mkono, 2011, 2012) together with an interpersonal discourse framework (Hyland, 2008) applied to e-tourism genres (Suau-Jiménez, 2012, 2016). Four hotel websites, together with 200 corresponding negative reviews from TripAdvisor, were diachronically analyzed to identify common topics. Attitudinals were sough, being the core markers of online critiques, as well as boosters, acting as enhancing markers in hotel websites and paralleling criticized topics. Results…
A twofold commodification of 'place' in hotel websites and its consequences for the discursive creation of a tourist identity.
2016
Tourism is a global cultural industry and one of the world’s largest international trades (Thurlow & Jaworski, 2011). As far as tourism is understood as an agent and channel of globalisation (Pritchard & Jaworski, 2005), it makes sense to investigate it from a critical perspective and analyse how its discourse shapes the tourist experience. The aim of this study is to explore ways in which hotel websites project a place identity for the hotel and, in doing so, for the town or city in which the hotel is located. I will ask how, and in what ways, this representation relies on socio-cultural conventions, which in turn may influence the discursive construction of the social actor “tourist”. Usi…
Vorbereitung von Austauschstudierenden auf ein Studium in einem deutschsprachigen Land : Ein textsortenorientiertes Blended-Learning-Konzept
2023
Deutschland ist nach wie vor das beliebteste Zielland finnischer Studierender, und das wichtigste Motiv für die Wahl eines deutschsprachigen Gastlandes ist, Deutsch zu lernen. In diesem Beitrag soll das Konzept eines Blended-Learning-Kurses zur Vorbereitung auf ein Austauschstudium in einem deutschsprachigen Land vorgestellt werden. Der Kurs war handlungs- und textsortenorientiert auf den Erwerb mündlicher studienbezogener Fertigkeiten ausgerichtet. Für das E-Learning wurde das deutsche EUROMOBIL-Programm (Euromobil o.J.) verwendet. In den Präsenzphasen hielten die Studierenden mündliche Referate, die im Kurs diskutiert und von den Lehrenden und Vortragenden selbst evaluiert wurden. Im empi…
Comparisons of two diaphragm ultrasound-teaching programs: a multicenter randomized controlled educational study
2019
Abstract Background This study aims to ascertain whether (1) an educational program is sufficient to achieve adequate Diaphragm Ultrasound (DUS) assessments on healthy volunteers and (2) combining a video tutorial with a practical session is more effective in making learners capable to obtain accurate DUS measurements, as opposed to sole video tutorial. Results We enrolledstep 1: 172 volunteers naïve to ultrasound. After watching a video tutorial, a questionnaire was administered and considered to be passed when at least 70% of the questions were correctly answered. Course participants who passed the theoretical test were randomized to either intervention or control group. Learners randomiz…
‘bien entendu’ vs ‘naturellement’: deux façons de désubjectiviser le dire
2011
Our study focuses on how the discourse markers (DM) participate in the construction of discursive alterity. In our approach, the DM builds, for an assertion, a guarantor with its own semantics, which is the semantics of the lexical element constituting the basis of DM. Naturellement and bien entendu build referential value which ”disempowers” the speaker as a guarantor of his words. This desubjectivation is realized differently in each case analyzed, and is determined by the semantic identity of the DM. In this article we analyze how the DM build modulated commitment of the speaker in his role as the guarantor, convened by the semantics of the DM in the ”disresponsibilization” of the speake…
ANATOMICAL DISSECTION AND ANALYSIS OF THE STRUCTURES OF THE UPPER LIMB
2017
In 2015, a whole body dissection course was proposed by the University of Palermo (UoP), Palermo, Italy, thanks to the cooperation with the University of Malta (UoM), Msida, Malta. The purpose of this study was to show the difference between the study of anatomy on books and on corpses. The article focuses its attention on the dissection method of the upper limb. The study was performed on two corpses, a male and a female, by using a basic surgeon kit. Blunt dissection method was used for fasciae, innards and to isolate vascular-nervous structures from the fat; we used scalpel for cutis, sub cutis, muscles and tendons. We compared the anatomy figured by books and cadaver’s anatomy. We separ…
A BRIEF GUIDE TO THE ANATOMICAL DISSECTION OF THE STOMACH
2021
The purpose of this article is to write a short guide on the macroscopic anatomy of the stomach, describing its structures, its relationships within the abdominal cavity and the dissection methods used during the internship performed by a group of students from the University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy, at the University of Malta, Msida, Malta, during the Summer of 2018. Indeed, they had the opportunity to spend a period of two weeks at the department of Anatomy in the Maltese University for studying and practicing on some corpses, with the aim of improving their anatomical knowledge.
