Naming sensory impressions in winespeak between professionals and non-professionals

International audience; Connections between semantics — for instance, cognitive semantic models such as prototype theory — and sensory analysis have often been studied from an interdisciplinary perspective involving disciplines such as linguistics, cognitive psychology, and chemistry. Among the many fields concerned with this topic, this paper will focus on the particular case of winespeak and especially on the co-construction of a shared knowledge between professionals and consumers. The hypothesis to be verified is (i) that objectivist and strict terminological approaches can not account for the processes at work when professionals and non professionals try to agree on the ‘specialized me…

Pre-service foreign language teachers' expectations of their studies and teacher profession
2017
Uusia kielenopettajia tutkittaessa on havaittu, että opettajan alkutaival on usein haastavaa, ja monet toimivat näissä tilanteissa tavoilla, jotka eivät ole edullisia opettajien hyvinvoinnille ja ammattitaidolle. Ratkaisuksi ehdotetaan yleensä kielenopettajakoulutuksen kehittämistä. Kielenopettajaksi opiskelevien toimijuutta ja käsityksiä on kuitenkin tutkittu melko vähän. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, mitä kielenopettajaopiskelijat odottavat yliopisto-opinnoiltansa ja millaisia käsityksiä heillä on opettajan professiosta. Näitä käsityksiä vertailtiin kieltenopettajankoulutuksen tavoitteisiin ja periaatteisiin, jotka ovat Suomessa tutkimusperusteisia. Tutkimuksen aineisto k…
Binds of Professionalism: Attachment in Australian and Finnish Early Years Policy
2016
Attachment theory is often referenced in psychology, social work and early childhood care and education, and is ubiquitous in popular publications directed to parents, carers and educators of young children. It is considered as a ‘grand theory’ that explains “the growth of social relationships from infants’ experiences with their caregivers and the consequent social preference called attachment” (Mercer, 2011, p. 26). In this chapter, we understand attachment theory as a discourse and as part of the ‘psy-complex’, “the sprawling speculative and regulative network of theories and practices that constitute psychology” (Parker, 2002, p. 199). We focus on the operation of ‘attachment discourses…
