Monolingualism and creativity : scientific discourse and linguistic diversity in human and social sciences
2015
Whether or not monolingualism ??academic English, in practice?? is favourable for the production of knowledge in human and social sciences is now called into question. In order to further their careers, researchers seek to publicise their work by publishing in the most prestigious, best-known international journals. But we must not ignore the limits set by the operation of these journals on the production of innovative knowledge to challenge our intellectual routines. We can support the idea that creativity in social and human sciences benefits more from preserving a plurality of scientific production spaces than from a single homogeneous space, which usually tends to fall into complacency.
Communicating Medical Information Online: The Case of Adolescent Health Websites
2020
In recent times, our understanding and practice of public health has been increasingly guided by technological advances generally based on governmental decisions (Green et al. 2009). Not only does the growth of a public system for protecting health hinge upon scientific discovery and dissemination of medical knowledge, but also the World Wide Web has considerably changed the health communication environment. This paper considers the online health information addressed to adolescents. Given that young people have difficulty accessing traditional health services, in theory, the Internet might offer them a more confidential and convenient access to an unprecedented level of information about a…
Establishing Usability for Interactive Music Applications that Use Embodied Mediation Technology
2009
This paper proposes a research method to address usability issues in the early stage of development of interactive or collaborative embodied music applications. The central topic is how concepts of usability testing, goal composition, game enjoyment and technology assessment can be actively incorporated in the development and improvement of music applications that use embodied mediation technology. The method presented involves discourse analysis of interviews to develop an approach to constructively use the feedback of test persons to enhance interactive music applications. This analysis is used to determine whether users can properly interact with the system, whether they understand it an…

Generating policy in a changing governmental environment: how to study security policy in generation?
2008
The purpose of this paper is to deliberate the making of security policy in the EU-context, where national security discourse will increasingly face needs and demands to be melt together with a new kind of security discourse and policy of mainland Europe. By taking the viewpoint of a citizen of a modern nation-state, this paper wants to open the question of how citizens and their values are positioned in relation to the modern state and its security policy within this progress. In particular, as the two latter concepts are in motion towards some new essence. This article claims that the ongoing shaping of the new European security discourse, and values it is argued to contain, appears to ci…
Derecho, narración y racionalidad jurídica. El caso de la fazaña bajomedieval
2011
Resumen Durante buena parte del siglo XX, se consideró a la fazaña castellana un reflejo fiel de usos y costumbres con capacidad para sentar un precedente jurídico. Sin embargo, teniendo en cuenta la compleja situación sociopolítica de Castilla hacia mediados del siglo XIV y examinando en detalle su estructura narrativa, llaman la atención otros aspectos frecuentemente desatendidos, en especial, la construcción interna de estos relatos con un fuerte grado de presuposición y arbitrariedad argumentativa. Se destacan estas formas particulares de concebir el relato jurídico especialmente en la colección de veinticinco fazañas que cierran el manuscrito 431 de la Biblioteca Nacional de Madrid (13…

The debate about whether to include all kinds of students in the general education classrooms is a current topic in the European and Scandinavian educational policy. This paper comes to grips with this topic by focusing on the process through which professionals define educational possibilities and risks for one group of children considered as special needs children. The study is based on the transcripts of four Finnish interdisciplinary team meetings in which professionals and parents negotiate for the school choices of preschool‐aged children with cochlear implants. Analysis of the data is based on the principles of qualitative discourse analytical methods of conversation. Results show th…

Palīgteikumu lietojums tiešsaistes laikrakstu rakstos
2021
Līdz šim ir veikti daudzi pētījumi par laikrakstiem un to analīzi, taču pētījumu par šaurāku tēmu – pakārtojuma teikumiem un to izmantošanu laikrakstos ir maz vai vispār nav. Tāpēc šis pētījums tika veikts, lai noteiktu, kā pakārtojuma teikumi tiek izmantoti laikrakstu rakstos, analizējot to veidu un novietojumu teikumā. Pētījums tika veikts, izmantojot kvalitatīvās un kvantitatīvās pētījumu metodes. Pēc diskursa analīzes tika secināts, ka 25 izvēlētajos tekstos no laikraksta The Baltic Times pakārtojuma palīgteikums teikumā visbiežāk tika pozicionēts beigās, un visbiežāk izmantotā pakārtojuma palīgteikums ir finīta, ziņojuma formā. Šī forma visbiežāk lietota, kādu citējot, tādējādi sniedzo…
From Missionary to Military Discourse: Economic Expansion and Rhetorical Shifting in the Nineteenth Century Adventure Story
2010
The essay aims at establishing the nature of the relationship between the development of the 19th century adventure story, the systematization of colonial enterprise and rise of imperialism and the construction of the concept of Britishness intended as a superior and missionary identity category. The analysis of Marryat’s Masterman Ready (1842), Ballantyne’s Coral Island (1857), Stevenson’s Treasure Island (1882) and Haggard’s King Solomon’s Mines (1885) will show how the rhetorical pattern of the 19th century adventure story, with particular reference to space and characters, goes through transformations in accordance with the economic transitions the system undergoes shifting from mission…
