Understanding color vision, with comments on mind and matter
2012
Much is known about the mental and physical aspects of color vision. Color vision, therefore, is a paradigm well suited for the discussion of the relationship between mind and matter. The aim of the present chapter is to support the proposition that mental affairs cannot be adequately understood if their neurobiological aspects are neglected. Although it is possible to focus on fundamental problems of general relevance when discussing mind and matter, this chapter will deal with specific observations rather than general issues. The possibility of generalizations derived from empirical results is always limited. Provided the conditions under which these observations were made can be confirme…

2017
Mūsdienās, informācijas apmaiņas daudzums ir neizmērojams, līdz ar to, mēdiji ir kļuvuši par mūsu dzīves neatliekamu sastāvdaļu. Pastāv daudz un dažādu žurnālu, laikrakstu, „dzeltenās preses” izdevumu u.t.t., kuros tiek rakstīts par dažādām tēmām. Galvenokārt, visu presi var iedalīt pa grupām, attiecīgi pēc tēmām, par kurām tiek rakstīts. Vieni no pazīstamākajiem un iecienītākajiem, mūsdienās, ir modes žurnāli.

Stylistic analysis of headlines in science journalism: A case study ofNew Scientist
2016
This article explores science journalism in the context of the media competition for readers’ attention. It offers a qualitative stylistic perspective on how popular journalism colonizes science communication. It examines a sample of 400 headlines collected over the period of 15 months from the ranking of five ‘most-read’ articles on the website of the international magazine New Scientist. Dominant lexical properties of the sample are first identified through frequency and keyness survey and then analysed qualitatively from the perspective of the stylistic projection of newsworthiness. The analysis illustrates various degrees of stylistic ‘hybridity’ in online popularization of scientific r…

Hybrid styles in popular reporting on science :a study of "New Scientist’s" headlines
2014
This project explores some current trends in journalistic textual practices that reflect media outlets’ increased need to engage readers through hybridized forms of coverage. It aims to demonstrate to what extent popular journalism has been assimilated by science communication. It examines a sample of 250 headlines collected over the period of eight months from the list of five “most-read” articles as displayed on the webpage of the international magazine New Scientist. The linguistic, stylistic and rhetorical properties of these headlines are examined quantitatively and qualitatively. The analysis focuses on the ways in which scientific research is popularized through hybrid styles, includ…
Coercive metaphors in news headlines :a cognitive-pragmatic approach
2014
This article explores the application of metaphors in news headlines with a view to interrogating their potential for coercion. Coercion in news discourse is understood as a strategic deployment of pragma-linguistic devices, including metaphors, to foreground the representations of socio-political reality that are compatible with the interests of the news outlet rather than those that inform public debate. It is argued that coercion can be exposed through systematic discourse analysis. Methodologically, the study aims to integrate the cognitive and pragmatic approaches to metaphor in regarding it as both a conceptual building block of news representations and a strategic framing device in n…
Análisis de las estrategias de encuadre discursivo en la cobertura electoral sobre Vox en los titulares de la prensa española
2020
La presente investigación se basa en el análisis de un corpus de 413 titulares que encabezaron los textos informativos de ocho diarios españoles, durante la cobertura electoral sobre Vox, en el trans curso de los comicios generales celebrados en España en abril de 2019.

Si bien la ilocutivi dad representativa fue la mayoritaria en …
Securitizing images: The female body and the war in Afghanistan
2012
Referring to the recent ‘visual turn’ in Critical Security Studies, the aim of this article is threefold. First, by taking the concept of visual securitization one step further, we intend to theorize the image as an iconic act understood as an act of showing and seeing. This turn to the performativity of the visual directs our attention to the securitizing power of images. Second, this article addresses the methodological challenges of analysing images and introduces an iconological approach. Iconology enables the systematic interpretation of images as images by also taking their social embeddedness into account. In the third part of this article we apply this theoretical and methodologica…
Need for closure moderates the break in the message effect
2016
Abstract Cutting the message into smaller portions is a common practice in the media. Typically such messages consist of a headline followed by a story elaboration. In a series of studies Dolinski and Kofta (2001) have shown that such a break in the message increases the effect of the information provided in the headline over that of a story which actually contained information inconsistent with that headline. A possible explanation of this effect, based on the concept of the need for cognitive closure, is presented in the article. The experiment shows the break-in-the-message effect is found mainly for participants with high need for closure but not for those with low such need.
