Practical applications of naturalistic inquiry in intercultural education
2021
In recent years, the field of intercultural communication has seen a remarkable shift characterized by a growth in publications that distance themselves from the traditional, essentialist understanding of culture. In research, this shift is reflected in approaches that appreciate culture-in-action instead of taking culture for granted as a stable entity that pre-exists social interaction and predicts as well as explains human behavior. However, despite attempts to introduce differentiated views on culture and interculturality in education, concrete options for critical intercultural training are scarce and often remain abstract, which makes their application challenging. This article argues…
Humor in the classroom
2010
Huumori vuorovaikutuksessa on mielenkiintoinen tutkimuskohde, sillä se sekä vaikuttaa vuorovaikutustilanteessa olevien ihmisten suhteisiin että heijastaa niitä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia huumoria luokkahuoneessa ja selvittää, millaisia funktioita sillä on luokkahuoneen vuorovaikutuksessa. Monet aikaisemmat tutkimukset ovat osoittaneet, että opettajan huumorilla on myönteisiä vaikutuksia oppimiseen ja opiskeluilmapiiriin. Oppilaiden huumorilla sen sijaan on havaittu olevan sekä myönteisiä että kielteisiä vaikutuksia oppimiseen ja opiskeluilmapiiriin. Suomessa huumorin käyttöä kouluympäristössä on kuitenkin tutkittu hyvin vähän. Lisätutkimus huumorista voi antaa hyödyllistä t…

Constructing knowledge : epistemic practices in three television interview genres
2011
This study analyses epistemic practices in broadcast television interviews, focusing on three different interview genres: celebrity interviews, sports interviews and political interviews. In the analysis I examine the linguistic and interactional practices that are used to construct knowledge in the interviews. These practices include mobilization of different types of knowledge, use of assessments to invite first-hand knowledge, negotiation of epistemic stances while disaligning with the question, and use of assessments for claiming or contesting epistemic rights to authority and expertise. The study comprises four articles and a summary. Article I focuses on celebrity interviews and analy…
Griego εἶἑν. Sobre un uso concreto y su distribución
1998
Este artículo trata de ofrecer una aproximación al estudio de las interjección εἶἑν en la Comedia aristofánica. El estudio de su distribución nos indica que, pese a ser un elemento conversacional, pertenece a un registro cuidado y educado. Se trata de un estudio preliminar, toda vez que el tema aparece tratado con mayor detalle y extensión en Labiano, Mikel (2000), Estudio de las interjecciones en las comedias de Aristófanes, Ed. Hakkert, Amsterdam (ISBN: 9025606385). This paper tries to provide an approach to the study of the interjection εἶἑν in Aristophanic Comedy. An analysis of its distribution shows that, although colloquial, his domain pertains to a careful and polite register. This …
Estudio de las interjecciones en las comedias de Aristófanes
2000
El objetivo esencial de este libro consiste en proporcionar un estudio amplio, riguroso y filológico de las interjecciones propias de la Comedia aristofánica, intentando superar el único trabajo dedicado a esta cuestión hasta la fecha (Schinck, “De interiectionum epiphonematumque ui atque usu apud Aristophanem”, 1873), con la finalidad de profundizar en uno de los tantos aspectos relevantes de la lengua conversacional aristofánica. Todo esto se ha logrado, básicamente, enumerando las interjecciones y los pasajes en los que aparecen, traduciéndolos, comentándolos, ofreciendo nuestra interpretación, y procurando la suficiente información para que, en caso de no resultar satisfactoria la inter…
