Making Biosciences Visible for Popular Consumption: Approaching Image–Text Relations in Newscientist.com Through a Critical Multimodal Analysis
2018
Salience or visibility of science-related issues can be strategically projected by means of linguistic and visual resources. This article presents a methodology for examining the relations between the textual properties of popular science discourse and the visual features of accompanying images. The advantages of this approach are demonstrated through a multimodal analysis of a sample of biomedical articles from New Scientist, which reveals the frequency and distribution of selected properties of visual images, typical aspects of layout, attributed functions of the images, and their relation to the text. Humanization, domestication, and aesthetization are dominant discursive strategies of …
Kosmētikas industrijas ilgtspējīgās attīstības reklāmu multimodālā analīze
2020
Mūsdienu komunikācija un informācijas apmaiņa notiek ne tikai izmantojot valodu, bet arī dažādus citus komunikācijas izteiksmes veidus, kā piemēram, attēlus, žestus, krāsas, mūziku un balsi. Multimodalitāte kosmētikas nozares ilgtspējīgās reklāmās tika izvēlēta, ņemot vērā pašreizējo pieaugošo pieprasījumu pēc ilgtspējīgiem izstrādājumiem, kā arī tendences komunikāciju izpaust dažādos citos veidos, ne tikai ar valodas palīdzību. Šajā pētījumā tika izmantota kvalitatīvā multimodālā analīze, balstoties uz Kresa un van Līvena (2006) (Kress and van Leeuwen) vizuālo komunikāciju modeli. Pētījuma korpuss sastāvēja no divpadsmit ilgtspējības reklāmām no dažādiem kosmētikas zīmoliem Latvijā, Amerik…
Public note-taking on a digital platform as a workplace practice
2023
Unlike traditional note-taking with pen and paper, in which the note-taking process is only partially accessible to the co-participants, note-taking in the digitalized workplace may be done publicly, so that both the content of notes and the process of writing them are observable to the co-participants. Using multimodally oriented conversation analysis, this study focused on public note-taking in interaction sequences where the facilitator of a workplace project records the results of a workshop discussion on a digital platform. The analysis revealed that while the facilitator was entitled to decide which portions of talk are recorded, the affordances of digital technology, its publicness …

The focus and timing of gaze matters : Investigating collaborative knowledge construction in a simulation-based environment by combined video and eye…
2022
Although eye tracking has been successfully used in science education research, exploiting its potential in collaborative knowledge construction has remained sporadic. This article presents a novel approach for studying collaborative knowledge construction in a simulation-based environment by combining both the spatial and temporal dimensions of eye-tracking data with video data. For this purpose, we have investigated two undergraduate physics student pairs solving an electrostatics problem in a simulation-based environment via Zoom. The analysis of the video data of the students’ conversations focused on the different collaborative knowledge construction levels (new idea, explication, eval…
The portrayal of female characters in Grand Theft Auto V
2017
Videopelit ovat yksi nykypäivän suosituimmista ajanviettotavoista. Pelaajien melko tasaisesta sukupuolijakaumasta huolimatta videopelien ajatellaan kuitenkin yleisesti olevan vain miesten kiinnostuksenkohde. Yksi suurimmista syistä tähän lienee miesten ja naisten esittämisen erot videopeleissä: suurin osa videopelihahmoista on miespuolisia, kun taas naispuolisia hahmoja on vähän ja he ovat usein seksualisoituja. Myös medialla on tähän vaikutusta, sillä naispuolisista videopelihahmoista nostetaan yleensä esille ainoastaan seksualisoidut naishahmot. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, kuinka naispuolisia hahmoja esitetään Grand Theft Auto V -videopelissä. Kyseinen peli on uusin osa G…

Valodniecisko aspektu loma reklāmu mērķauditoriju sasniegšanā drukātajos plašsaziņas līdzekļos
2022
Mūsdienu sociālkultūras pasaulē, kur saziņas neverbālie elementi kļūst arvien nozīmīgāki, dažādiem speciālistiem bija nepieciešama prasme atpazīt informāciju, kas ir sastopama dažādos režīmos (tekstuālajā un vizuālajā) un to kombinācijas, tas ir, multimodalitāte. Darba mērķis bija analizēt ārpus telpām apdrukāto plašsaziņas līdzekļu verbālo un neverbālo sastāvdaļu mijiedarbību. Diskursa valodnieciskajām un vizuālajām īpašībām ir sava nozīme, kas papildina un rada vienotu un aptverošu reklāmas vēstījumu. Izmantojot lingvistisko stila līdzekļu, attēlu, dažādu fontu un burtu izmēru kombināciju, tiek panākts maksimālais efekts uz patērētāju.

Spatial Cognition 2020/1: Book of abstracts : August 2-4, 2021, University of Latvia
2021
Spatial Cognition is concerned with the acquisition, development, representation, organization, and use of knowledge about spatial objects in real, virtual or hybrid environments and processed by human or artificial agents. Spatial Cognition includes research from different fields insofar as they are concerned with cognitive agents and space, such as cognitive and developmental psychology, linguistics, computer science, geography, cartography, philosophy, neuroscience, and education. Research issues in the field range from the investigation of human spatial cognition to mobile robot navigation, including topics such as wayfinding, spatial planning, spatial learning, internal and external re…
