The geography of foreign news on television
2012
Since the advent of television in the middle of the 20th century, news has been an essential ingredient in TV programming. Often these newscasts are the most heavily viewed programmes, and by and large they are the main source of information for many people. This is particularly true for news from other countries and regions in the world. This immense significance of TV news has made it an important field in communication research. The article presents a new study that is formed from a multinational project. The project investigated foreign TV news in 17 countries from five regions in the world: Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Egypt, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Japan, Poland,…
Infotainment and the Construction of a Community in Sport-News
2010
The community of sport expresses aggression, competition and solidarity when consuming or (re)producing social events and identity (gender, ethnicity, sexuality) plays an important role (Kassing et al., 2004) in the construction of a community (Magnane, 1964; Colovic, 1999). This paper presents a case study of two online sport commentaries that have been analysed in order to explore the ways in which identity is constructed and communicated within these two epistemic communities and to both identify and verify which linguistic strategies are used by the epistemic communities in order to support (their claims to) objective knowledge. Cross-cultural comparisons can be made in relation to conv…
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…
News values as evaluation. Main naming practices in Violence Against Women news stories in contemporary Spanish newspapers: El País vs. El Mundo (200…
2021
Violence Against Women (VAW) is a very sensitive, and highly ideological, topic in the Spanish society, as well as in Western societies generally. In Spain, media accounts of VAW are very closely related to two quality newspapers, El País and El Mundo, providing a variety of naming practices for VAW, with differing ideological and evaluative implications. In this paper, I compare and contrast these two dailies in their use of the three main naming practices —violencia de género ‘gender-based violence’, violencia doméstica ‘domestic violence’ and violencia machista ‘male violence’— used in VAW news. To do so I resort to the news values approach proposed by Bednarek and Caple (2012, 2014, 201…

Language and Mind : towards a linguistic and critical study of spectacular language.
2021
He thesis focuses on a sample of written messages drawn from the daily environment. In the general framework of the relationship between language and power, the thesis consists in the analysis of written messages broadcast in daily life. The research is based on the collection of messages found on various media, including advertising displays. The thesis begins with the reception and use of the notions of newspeak and wooden tongue in their historical and contemporary context in order to show the topicality of linguistic and sociological questions about the relationship between language and power. The study of these two notions, through the linguistic and epistemological issues they involve…
An answer to two questions of Brewster and Yeh on M-groups
2003
Let χ be a (complex) irreducible character of a finite group. Recall that χ is monomial if there exists a linear character λ ∈ Irr(H), where H is some subgroup of G, such that χ = λG. A group is an M -group if all its irreducible characters are monomial. In 1992, B. Brewster and G. Yeh [1] raised the following two questions. Question A. Let M and N be normal subgroups of a group G. Assume that (|G : M |, |G : N |) = 1 and that M and N are M -groups. Does this imply that G is an M -group? ∗Research supported by the Basque Government, the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnoloǵia and the University of the Basque Country
Professionals' naming of intellectual disability, past and present practice and rationales
2011
The study illuminates four research questions: What terms for the diagnosis ICD10: F70-79 do Norwegian professionals utilize in their work? Which changes of terminology have professionals experienced? How do professionals explain such changes? Is there a substantive explanation? A semi-structured qualitative interview guide was used on a sample of 41 informants. The main findings are: (1) Different terms are in use; (2) two major changes in naming are observed by the informants: (a) during the 1970s from ‘feeble-minded’ to ‘mental developmental disability’, and (b) after year 2000 from ‘mental developmental disability’ to ‘developmental disability’; (3) professionals are in doubt as to whic…
A Novel Technique Using Polytetrafluoroethylene Tape to Solve Screw Loosening Complication in Implant-Supported Single Crowns
2020
This study aimed to analyze a novel technique to make screws with greater untightening resistance and to solve screw loosening in implant-supported single crowns. Thirty grade IV titanium straight abutments were screwed onto 30 external hex implants using grade IV titanium screws (30 Ncm). They were exposed to cyclic loading (300,000 cycles, 200 N). Samples were divided into 4 groups (15 samples per group): new screws (SCREW group) (control), reused screws (rSCREW group), new screws wrapped with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape (PTFE group), and reused screws wrapped with PTFE tape (rPTFE group). Reverse torque values (RTVs) were recorded with a digitally calibrated implant motor. Mean R…
