Stratégies argumentatives dans la presse écologiste française : métaphores, jeux de mots et détournements

2016

International audience; Nous proposons d'analyser la médiatisation en France des enjeux environnementaux à travers la presse écologiste. Ces publications se caractérisent par des formulations nourries d'images discursives, de métaphores et de métonymies, de détournements, d'exploitation d'implicites et de jeux de mots qu'il s'agit d'étudier non seulement sur le plan des effets de sens mais comme une véritable stratégie argumentative mise en place par ce type de presse.

'Different' and 'distinct' as markers of otherness: A corpus-driven study of the (re)creation of privilege in high standard hotels.

2020

The present study seeks to offer an understanding of how high-end hotel websites produce privilege, creating a sense of belonging and entitlement for their 4/5-star guests. The experience of tourism is intrinsically linked to embracing otherness, and as a reflection of this, hotel websites offer a characterization of cultural otherness in an attempt to make it resonate with the potential expectations of a socioeconomically privileged client. The study considers the question of what elements of experience of otherness the website will address, relying on a Critical Discourse Analysis perspective and drawing on Bourdieu's notion of habitus as related to lifestyle, difference and distinction. …

A twofold commodification of 'place' in hotel websites and its consequences for the discursive creation of a tourist identity.

2016

Tourism is a global cultural industry and one of the world’s largest international trades (Thurlow & Jaworski, 2011). As far as tourism is understood as an agent and channel of globalisation (Pritchard & Jaworski, 2005), it makes sense to investigate it from a critical perspective and analyse how its discourse shapes the tourist experience. The aim of this study is to explore ways in which hotel websites project a place identity for the hotel and, in doing so, for the town or city in which the hotel is located. I will ask how, and in what ways, this representation relies on socio-cultural conventions, which in turn may influence the discursive construction of the social actor “tourist”. Usi…

Crossing the Borders between Legislative Drafting and Linguistics: Linguists to the Aid of Legislative Drafters

2012

‘Crossing the Borders between Legislative Drafting and Linguistics: Linguists to the Aid of Legislative Drafters’ is the focus of the co-authored article by Helen Xanthaki and Giulia Adriana Pennisi. In her discussion, Helen Xanthaki claims that linguists provide a useful contribution to ‘phronetic legislative drafting’, on account of common areas of interaction where lexico-grammatical and discourse analysis help to understand the meanings and functions of text production. This is then examined by Giulia Adriana Pennisi who draws on the institutional legal discourse enacted in the Treaty of Lisbon to argue for divergent – yet indeed uniform – constitutional principles and values.

Ukrainas krīzes attēlojums plašsaziņas līdzekļos

2015

Plašsaziņas līdzekļi ir spēcīgs instruments valdošās sabiedrības daļas rokās, lai izplatītu ideoloģijai atbilstošas idejas. Šo darbu paveic attiecīgi izvēlēti valodas līdzekļi, kas ļauj uzsvērt vai, tieši otrādi, apslēpt dažādus uzskatus. Darba mērķis bija izpētīt, kā Ukrainas krīze tiek atspoguļota medijos no Krievijas, Ukrainas un Rietumu perspektīvas. Iegūtie dati, kurus veidoja 45 ziņu reportāžas, tika analizēti, izmantojot kritisko diskursa analīzi, un tika izvērtēta leksika, mākslinieciskie izteiksmes līdzekļi, modalitāte un transitivitāte.

Discurso de especialidad, discurso especializado o discurso situado?

2018

In a representative problematic, the discourse reflects the behaviour, which integrant may have in a social interaction. The discourse analyses of specific professional communicative situations require observing the linguistic behaviour of the participant from empiric and authentic data (Charaudeau, 2009: 50). This study alludes to the description of specific communicative situations and to the discourse adaptation of the specialized revues produced in a socio-professional context, dealing with the descriptors of selected products, in order to compare the representations of the cocoa and wine descriptions. The suggested lexicographic analysis first explores the different way of defining the…

Men will be Men? : Masculinities on display in the Facebook communication practices of Pakistani men

2021

In the past decade, the popularization of social media in Pakistan has greatly influenced the way in which people communicate and interact with each other. The rapidly evolving nature of online social media communication in the country when viewed against the backdrop of the country’s socio-cultural characteristics and religion is particularly significant. Facebook, being the prime social media platform in Pakistan has been revolutionary and liberating because while acting as a medium of communication, which transgresses the traditional manner of gendered social interactions, it has at the same time enabled the users to perpetuate and reinforce the existing gender ideology. As a result, Fac…
