El conocimiento pedagógico y la periferia del universo educativo

2006

In this work the authors reflect on the dynamics generated between the universe of education and educational theory, as the fruit of the incorporation to that universe of areas and forms which up until then had been external, borderline or marginal to it. After an introduction, the article applies this general perspective to diverse spheres: in the fi rst place, to what the consideration of non-formal and formal education has meant for educational theory; in second place, the same is done with respect to the idea of permanent education; third, it is applied to the repercussions that the real recognition of gender equality in education has on pedagogical discourse; fourth, to what the possib…

Unifying or Polarizing? Short-Term Effects and Postdebate Consequences of Different Rhetorical Strategies in Televised Debates

2005

Despite a large body of research, little is known about the ways in which viewers react to different kinds of statements during televised debates nor about the degree to which these short-term reactions influence postdebate opinions. Taking the second televised debate in the 2002 German national election as an example, we address both of these questions. We identify the most unifying and polarizing statements and connect immediate reactions during the debate to postdebate verdicts on an individual level of analysis. Our results show that commonplaces and acclaims met unanimous support among audience members with different political predispositions. Attacks and statements in which the candid…

Anglicisms and Italian Equivalents in the Era of Covid-19: A Corpus-Based Study of Lockdown

2020

The whole globe has been going through an unprecedented historical moment since World War II. COVID-19, the disease against which we have all been trying to defend ourselves for several months now, has spread worldwide with a significant impact in all spheres of life. With the pandemic outburst and English the language of globalization, several Anglicisms have entered the lexicon of other languages, especially Italian, traditionally open to foreign words. COVID-19-related Anglicisms are used in Italian to such an extent that we can reasonably refer to them as the ‘language of pandemic’. The English words and expressions employed in Italian to refer to the current disease are numerous. Some …

Campaign issues in political strategies and press coverage: The rental law conflict in the 1982–1983 election campaign in the federal republic of Ger…

1989

Abstract Election campaigns are institutionalized conflicts which are carried out in and through the mass media. Success and defeat in these conflicts depend upon the communication strategies of the parties and on the reactions of the journalists. In the election campaign of 1982–1983, the campaign manager of the Christian Democrats succeeded in altering the conflict over the new rental law into a conflict over the credibility of the SPD‐opposition. Thus, he created a counterpart to the criticism directed against the federal government. The newspapers and weekly news magazines did not take sides in the conflict through explicit evaluations, but rather by emphasizing or neglecting issues in …

Parliamentary Actors as Politicians

2018

The chapter discusses the horizon of chances of elected parliamentarians as politicians. Parliamentary representation is based on the freedom from dependence with its four classical faces: free speech, free mandate, freedom from arrest as well as free and fair elections. Special attention is given to the dualism between the partisan commitment as the basis of electing members and the freedom from dependence as the basic of parliamentary operations of members. The professionalisation of parliamentarians provides a condition to master the rules of procedure and rhetoric of debate in order to control government and bureaucracy.

Procedure and Debate in the British Parliamentary Culture

2016

Haapala illuminates the relationship between procedure and debate in the British parliamentary culture that was formed during the nineteenth century. While emphasising the constitutional shift to parliamentary government after the passing of the 1832 Reform Act, the chapter demonstrates its effects on the parliamentary culture with a special focus on the increasing role of debate and the attempts to reform House of Commons’ procedures. As well as drawing attention to the publicity of parliamentary proceedings and professionalisation of political journalism, Haapala uses rhetorical treatises and manuals to show the common attitudes towards parliamentary debate before and after the institutio…

Reconsidering authorship in the Ciceronian corpus through computational authorship attribution

2019

In recent years, methods of computational authorship attribution have offered promising results for the reattribution of classical texts. We use and further develop these methods to verify the authorship of several texts belonging or related to the Ciceronian corpus: Rhetorica ad C. Herennium, De inventione, De optimo genere oratorum, and Commentariolum petitionis. We use two classifiers, Support Vector Machine and Convolutional Neural Network, of which the latter is more accurate except in regard to certain aspects of vocabulary. The most important of our results is that Commentariolum petitionis seems to be authored by Marcus Cicero, not by his brother Quintus. Negli ultimi anni metodi co…

Kocioł Ezechiela (Ez 24,1-14) w świetle retoryki hebrajskiej

2021

Kontekstem badań było to, że niektórzy komentatorzy proponują różne struktury badanego tekstu. Celem badań stało się opracowanie struktury, którą zamieścił w tekście starożytny autor natchniony. Do tego posłużyła metoda retoryki hebrajskiej, którą opracował Roland Meynet. Udało się odkryć strukturę badanego tekstu. Jest to konstrukcja paralelna o schemacie: A (w. 1a) – B (w. 4ab) – C (w. 6b) – C’ (w. 9b) – B’ (w. 11abc) – A’ (w. 14a). Wnioski: obraz Boga, jaki wyłania się z Księgi Ezechiela, to Bóg Wszechmogący. Bóg Izraela może wszystko uczynić, nawet Nabuchodonozora uczynić narzędziem karania zarówno Izraela, jak i Egiptu. Ponadto należy nadal prowadzić badania nad retoryką hebrajską w Ks…
