“Once an entrepreneur, always an entrepreneur” : positioning analysis of written narratives
2021
PurposeThe negative stereotypes concerning late-career workers are found to prevail and lead to negative circulation of narratives and actions between individuals and societies.

A “Principle-Based” Approach to Intervention by Invitation in Civil Wars
2019
This contribution challenges the idea of the existence of a one-size-fits-all rule that always prohibits or permits outside forcible intervention upon the request of a government engaged in a civil war. Civil wars are complex situations. It seems quite unrealistic to make abstractions of the “topography” of the conflict between the legal principles concretely at stake in each case. Indeed, if self-determination is the main rationale behind the thesis of strict-abstentionism, an important question to ask is whether self-determination always represents an obstacle to external intervention in civil wars to support the established government. Furthermore, the principle of negative equality is s…
"I'm tired of hating people" : the use of invitational rhetoric in speeches on equality
2016
Kutsuretoriikka on vuonna 1995 esitelty retoriikan muoto, jonka 20-vuotiselle tutkimushistorialle ovat olleet tunnusomaisia teoriasta esitetty kritiikki ja tutkijoiden metodologiset erimielisyydet.

Tämän kandidaatintutkielman tarkoituksena on ottaa osaa tähän yhä käynniss…
Wariantywność stylu tekstu w perspektywie edukacyjnej
2018
The article presents the results of an educational diagnosis. The study it describes analyses the style of invitations prepared by the Polish middle school pupils and its significant variation despite the fact that the subjects did identical tasks in identical conditions. The author is interested in the pupils’ awareness of style, which is why the study analyses only the texts whose writers have made a deliberate and conscious choice of stylistic models. The diversity of style has turned out to be the most pronounced on the level of register, and the main reason behind the style variation among the texts was rooted in the clash between opposing stylistic systems (formality vs. informality) …
