All-inclusiveness in Legal Language. Cross-Cultural Perspectives in Specialized Discourse
2008
This book explores recent theoretical and practical changes in the investigation of language and context, with a particular attention to legal language as a highly specialized discourse. Given the huge variety of human experiences, any approach to language cannot be solely conducted at the level of grammatical rules and structures, but at the level of social contexts and contextual backgrounds as well. In fact, important form-function correlations are discovered when lexico-grammatical investigations are supported by sociocultural and psycho-cognitive enquires about the way in which textual artefacts (and, particularly, specialized texts) are conventionally and linguistically organized and …
Kontekst kulturowy a program edukacji językowo-komunikacyjnej w L1 : głos w dyskusji
2020
The article’s theme concerns challenges encountered in the 21st century in the course of language communicative education within the scope of Polish as a native language. The author expresses conviction that socialisation process does not substitute for education, and therefore one of the paramount purposes/aims of language education within the scope of native language is to cater to the language-communicative needs of students stemming from cultural transformation taking place in the contemporary world. New tasks that a Polish language teacher needs to face are developing the so-called new communicative competency which facilitates communicative acts in media-dominated world of today, incl…
Kształcenie umiejętności pisania w edukacji polonistycznej w XXI wieku - od sprawności do kreatywności
2021
W artykule postawiona została teza, iż ze względu na wzrost rangi umiejętności pisania we współczesnym świecie konieczna wydaje się potrzeba dydaktycznej refleksji nad uczeniem pisania w L1, tym bardziej że koncepcje kształcenia tej kompetencji powstały jeszcze w XX wieku, w zgoła odmiennej rzeczywistości kulturowo-komunikacyjnej, i trwają w edukacji polonistycznej do dziś. Rozważania prowadzą w stronę rozpoznania problemów, z którymi należałoby się zmierzyć i zagadnień, które należałoby rozważyć, by nadać pisaniu adekwatną rangę edukacyjną w stosunku do rangi kulturowo- komunikacyjnej i w rezultacie wziąć większą odpowiedzialności za osiągane efekty kształcenia. Dydaktyka i praktyka uczeni…
Līdzību pragmalingvistiskā analīze
2019
Bībeles stāsti, kurus Evaņģēlijā sauc par līdzību stāstiem vai parabolām ir biblisks žanrs, kas ir pētīts pēdējo desmitgāžu laikā. Šajā periodā šos stāstus sāka analizēt no tekstuālās, literārās, un vēsturiskās perspektīvas. Pētījumi atklāj, ka zinātniska pieeja ir nepieciešama, lai izprastu un izskaidrotu Bībeles stāstus. Darbā tiek izmantots novatoriska perspektīva un divu līmeņu parabolu nozīmju analīze. Semantiskās nozīmes analīzē tika pētīta teksta literārā nozīme, tā atklāja gan parabolu raksturīgās pazīmes, gan lingvistisko līdzekļu un stratēģiju izmantojumu burtiskās nozīmes izveidošanā. Pragmatiskās nozīmes analīzē uzmanība tika vērsta uz pārnesto un konteksta nozīmi. Pragmatiskās …
Language ideologies in Finnish higher education in the national and international context
2014
The article examines the language policy developments of Finnish higher education in historical and contemporary perspective. It is part of an Academy of Finland funded project (2011-2013) on the role of language in Finnish higher education internationalisation. The article first presents an historical overview of the language policy developments in Finnish universities and then goes on to discuss the latest developments in Finnish university and language legislation. Two cases illustrate the role of language in internationalisation strategies on one hand, and the ideologies made visible by hierarchisations of English as native and non-native on the other. The article concludes by discussin…
Test-Taking Motivation in Education Students: Task Battery Order Affected Within-Test-Taker Effort and Importance
2020
Different types of tasks exist, including tasks for research purposes or exams assessing knowledge. According to expectation-value theory, tests are related to different levels of effort and importance within a test taker. Test-taking effort and importance in students decreased over the course of high-stakes tests or low-stakes-tests in research on test-taking motivation. However, whether test-order changes affect effort, importance, and response processes of education students have seldomly been experimentally examined. We aimed to examine changes in effort and importance resulting from variations in test battery order and their relations to response processes. We employed an experimental …
AUGMENTED REALITY FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE: THE REBIRTH OF A HISTORICAL SQUARE
2019
Abstract. The case study, faced in this paper, arises in the context of Interreg Italia-Malta European project named I-Access, dedicated to the improvement of accessibility to Cultural Heritage (CH). Accessibility considered not only as the demolition of physical architectural barriers, but also as the possibility of fruition of CH through technological tools that can increase its perception and knowledge. Last achievements in photogrammetry and terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) technology offered new methods of data acquisition in the field of CH, giving the possibility of monitoring and processing big data, in the form of point clouds. Ever in this field, reverse engineering techniques and …
A GAMING APPROACH FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE KNOWLEDGE AND DISSEMINATION
2019
Abstract. In these last years, video games have become one of the most popular entertainment for children/teenagers/adults thanks to their appealing and seductive features and, in this context, the Serious Games (SG) have become an important research field. The most popular SGs in Cultural Heritage (CH) used the historical building like scenario where the game is playing. In this paper we show the procedure to achieve a CH video game where the Cultural Heritage is the main actor and not the scenario of the game. Furthermore, the game is not a SG but an Action-Adventure Game (AAG) or Survival Game (SuG), in a largest heading it can be classified as Entertainment Games (EGs). The novelty of t…
SURVEY AND VIRTUAL RECONSTRUCTION OF ANCIENT ROMAN FLOORS IN AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONTEXT
2019
Abstract. Despite the consistent development of approaches aimed at the virtual reconstruction of whole houses or archaeological monuments, the variety of technologies involved in virtual reconstruction procedures and the complexity of a rigorous process to provide validation models, seems to limit a univocal and shared standards adoption. For example, compared to the large number of contributions on the virtual reconstruction of whole architectures or cultural heritage sites, only a few works have proposed a rigorous workflow specific to mosaics and ancient floors and to their virtual reconstruction. The goal of this work is to present the first results on the virtual reconstruction of the…
PHOTOGRAMMETRIC TECHNIQUES FOR PROMOTION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE: THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF PARMA (ITALY)
2016
Abstract. In a context rich in history and cultural heritage, such as the Italian one, promotion and enhancement of historical evidences are crucial. The paper describes the case study of the Archaeological Museum of Parma, which, for the main part, conserves evidences found in the roman archaeological site of Veleia (Piacenza, Italy). To enhance the comprehension of the past, the project aims to promote the exhibits through new digital contents, in particular 3D models and AR applications, to improve their usability by the public. Projects like this pose some difficulties especially in data acquisition and restitution due to complexity of the objects and their dimension and position that a…
