Aesthetic responses to music: A questionnaire study

2009

We explored the content and structure of the cognitive, knowledge-based concept underlying aesthetic responses to music. To this aim, we asked 290 Finnish students to verbally associate the aesthetic value of music and to write down a list of appropriate adjectives within a given time limit. No music was presented during the task. In addition, information about participants’ musical background was collected. A variety of analysis techniques was used to determine the key results of our study. The adjective “beautiful” proved to be the core item of the concept under question. Interestingly, the adjective “touching” was often listed together with “beautiful”. In addition, we found music-speci…

La subjectivité des adjectifs qualifiant les Flamands et leurs institutions dans La Libre Belgique

2013

Belgian viimeaikaiset poliittiset kriisit ovat saaneet paljon kansainvälistäkin huomiota. Ne pohjautuvat pääosin jännitteisiin hollantia puhuvien flaamien ja ranskaa puhuvien vallonien välillä. Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan tilannetta kielellisestä näkökulmasta tarkastelemalla ranskankielisen konservatiivisen sanomalehden La Libre Belgique tapaa kuvata flaameja ja heidän instituutiotaan. Tutkimuksen kohteena ovat flaameihin ja heidän instituutioihinsa viittaavat adjektiivit, joiden subjektivisuutta tutkitaan tässä C. Kerbrat-Orecchionin teorian mukaan. Tämä ranskalainen kielitieteilijä luokittelee adjektiivit objektiivisiin ja subjektiivisiin; subjektiiviset jakautuvat edelleen affektiivisiin…

Quick Affective Judgments: Validation of a Method for Primed Product Comparisons

2015

A method for primed product comparisons was developed, based on the methodological considerations of emotional appraisal process and affective mental contents. The method was implemented as a computer tool, which was utilised in two experiments (N = 18 for both). Ten adjectives served as primes, and five drinking glass pictures as stimuli. Participants' task was to choose a preference between two glasses, given the priming adjective. The results validate the method by providing test-retest reliability measures and showing convergence with questionnaires. Further, different evaluation times between the primes and the stimuli reveal the existence of different mental processes associated with …

Two routes to actorhood: Lexicalized potency to act and identification of the actor role

2015

The inference of causality is a crucial cognitive ability and language processing is no exception: recent research suggests that, across different languages, the human language comprehension system attempts to identify the primary causer of the state of affairs described (the “actor”) quickly and unambiguously (Bornkessel-Schlesewsky and Schlesewsky, 2009). This identification can take place verb-independently based on certain prominence cues (e.g., case, word order, animacy). Here, we present two experiments demonstrating that actor potential is also encoded at the level of individual nouns (a king is a better actor than a beggar). Experiment 1 collected ratings for 180 German nouns on 12 …

Adjectives in job advertisements in English in Helsingin Sanomat : a semantic analysis

2013

Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää, millaisia adjektiiveja käytetään kuvailemaan työnhakijaa, työnantajaa ja itse työtä englanninkielisissä työpaikkailmoituksissa Helsingin Sanomissa. Työpaikkailmoituksia on aiemmin tutkittu keskittyen mm. työnhakijalta vaadittaviin taitoihin, ilmoituksissa käytettyihin eufemismeihin, ilmoituksen rakenteeseen ja sanaston tutkimiseen. Tutkimusta on tehty ulkomailla ja Suomessa mutta Suomessa tutkimuksen kohteena ovat olleet lähinnä suomenkieliset työpaikkailmoitukset. Koska Suomessa työelämä kansainvälistyy ja työnhakijoita haetaan jo usein Helsingin Sanomissakin englanninkielisillä ilmoituksilla, on tarpeen ulottaa tutkimus myös muihin kuin suomenkielisi…

Technique for prediction of outcome of election of national leaders.

1968

A technique is presented for evaluating the degree of support a candidate for national public office is likely to have at the polls. The technique involves the use of an adjective check list, Activity Vector Analysis (AVA), for which forms are available in French, Spanish, German, and Italian. Data are presented and discussed relative to a study made by the authors using this technique of public-image analysis just prior to the 1964 presidential elections in the United States. The data are based on the personality profiles of Johnson and Goldwater obtained from the public images held of these two candidates by 672 adults drawn from a population of voters representing a wide geographical di…

2017

In the present world International tourism is one of the most quickly and dynamically developing sectors of economy. In the year 2012 - for the first time in the history of humankind - international tourist arrivals exceeded one billion tourists globally; and within merely 20 years’ time, i.e. between 1995 and 2015, the number of people travelling abroad as tourists more than doubled. The phenomenon also refers to the inbound tourism in Poland - with more than 16 million international tourists who visited our country in 2015. Obviously, on the one hand, the fact is highly beneficial for the country's international prestige and economy, but on the other hand, it does create certain challenge…

Ceļojumu naratīvu lingvistiskā analīze

2021

Ceļojumu literatūra ir informatīva un izklaidējoša, tomēr pētnieki kā Lisle, Tompsons, Azaraija u.c. uzskata to arī par ideoloģiski piesātinātu. Pētījuma mērķis bija noteikt, vai izvēlētajam tekstuālajam materiālam no C. Tompsona ceļojumu memuāra ir ideoloģizēta teksta pazīmes. Empīriskā analīze tika veikta, balstoties uz piecām diskursīvām stratēģijām, kas ir nosaukšanas, apgalvošanas, argumentācijas, perspektivizācijas, pastiprināšanas vai mīkstināšanas stratēģijas, galveno uzmanību pievēršot tādam lingvistiskam materiālam kā lietvārdi, īpašības vārdi un darbības vārdi, kurus visbiežāk izmanto, lai ideoloģizētu stāstītās situācijas un notikumus. Pētījuma dati liecina, ka izmantotās lingvi…
