Manipulation as an ideological tool in the political genre of Parliamentary discourses
2022
AbstractThe present study analyzes the discursive strategies of manipulation in the political genre of a discourse in Parliament with an aim to convince the audience that the Prime Minister and his party are innocent of receiving illegal cash donations from a slush fund run in the party. For that purpose, we have usedVan Dijk’s (2006)scheme of strategies of manipulation at several levels of discourse (content, lexis, topics, syntax, rhetoric, and order of discourse). Findings of the study show that the Prime Minister’s speech presents characteristics of ideological discourse, since it follows a general strategy of positive in-group and negative out-group presentation, which has an overall l…

Planetary activism at the end of the world: Feminist and posthumanist imaginaries beyond Man
2022
We are currently experiencing a planetary crisis that will lead, if worst comes to worst, to the end of the entire world as we know it. Several feminist scholars have suggested that if the Earth is to stay livable for humans and nonhumans alike, the ways in which many human beings – particularly in the wealthy parts of the world, infested with Eurocentrism, (neo)colonialism, neoliberalism, and capitalism – inhabit this planet requires radical, ethical, and political transformation. In this article, we propose that feminist theory, particularly feminist posthumanities, and Black feminist and decolonial thought, together with creative practices such as writing, have much to contribute to tra…
Invarianti topologici e grammatiche universali
2006
Le nozioni di "invariante linguistico" e "universale di linguaggio" sono all'origine di numerose tensioni irrisolte nella riflessione epistemologica di tanti linguisti e filosofi della linguistica. Le ragioni principali di queste tensioni sono principalmente riconducibili ad alcuni rilievi critici così formulabili: 1)la nozione di invariante linguistico non è automaticamente riducibile alla nozione di universale di linguaggio. Gli invarianti con cui il linguista lavora sono solitamente invarianti "locali" ossia schemi operativi esclusivamente generalizzabili a gruppi specifici di lingue storico-naturali; 2) vi sono senz'altro degli invarianti che sono universali, ma si tratta di identità pr…
MĪLENBAHA-ENDZELĪNA LATVIEŠU VALODAS VĀRDNĪCĀ IEKĻAUTĀS BĀRTAS IZLOKSNES LEKSIKAS VISPĀRĪGS RAKSTUROJUMS
2021
This article gives an insight into the vocabulary of one of the sub-dialects of the Central dialect of the Latvian language – namely, the sub-dialect spoken in Bārta, a place in South-Western Kurzeme. The focus of the article is on those lexical units of the Bārta sub-dialect that are included in one of the most important works of Latvian linguistics – the Latvian Language Dictionary (1923–1932) and it’s Appendix (1934–1946), compiled and published by Kārlis Mīlenbahs, Jānis Endzelīns and Edīte Hauzenberga. The material analyzed here is taken from the electronic version of the Latvian Language Dictionary (www.tezaurs.lv/mev). The vocabulary of the Bārta sub-dialect is represented there by a…
Towards Teaching English for Pharmaceutical Purposes: An Attempt at a Description of Key Vocabulary and Phraseology in Clinical Trial Protocols and E…
2014
With the exception of medical schools or medical universities, English for Pharmaceutical Purposes is rarely taught as a specialist language course or ESP module at the university-level (e.g. designed specifically for training translators of specialist texts). This may be caused by, among other factors, the lack of comprehensive description of vocabulary and phraseology used across different pharmaceutical text types and genres, e.g. patient-pharmacist interactions, patient information leaflets, clinical trial protocols etc. This preliminary study is designed as an initial step to develop a description of vocabulary and phraseology, namely keywords, n-grams consisting of 4 words and phrase …

Rosmini e Tocqueville. Le ragioni cristiane del liberalismo
2020
Pur essendo coeve, le biografie intellettuali di Antonio Rosmini e Alexis de Tocqueville non mostrano piena reciprocità di espliciti richiami bibliografici intercorsi tra i due. Il confronto diretto, non l’unico ma senz’altro il più approfondito, è stato operato da Rosmini limitatamente al libro della Democrazia in America pubblicato nel 1835. Il filosofo di Rovereto lo pone in risalto nella definizione di molti argomenti trattati nella Filosofia della politica del 1839 e, in seguito, lo riprende occasionalmente in altri suoi studi. Non risultano, invece, riferimenti da parte di Tocqueville a opere rosminiane. Fanno eccezione alcuni contatti epistolari avvenuti tra giugno e ottobre 1849 dur…
Introducing migratory flows in life table construction
2012
The purpose of life tables is to describe the mortality behav iour of particular groups. The construction of general life tables is based on death statis tics and census figures of resident populations under the hypothesis of closed demographic sys tem. Among other assumptions, this hypothesis implicitly assumes that entries (immigrants) a nd exits (emigrants) of the population are usually not significant (being almost of the same magnitu de for each age compensating each other). This paper theoretically extends the classical sol ution to open demographic systems and studies the impact of this hypothesis in constructing a life table. In particular, using the data of residential variations m…
Angļu valodas vārdu krājuma attīstīšanas veidi tehnikuma ēdināšanas pakalpojumu specialitātes audzēkņu apmācībā
2019
Dotā zinātniskā pētījuma temats ir izpētīt dažādus angļu valodas vārdu krājuma attīstīšanas veidus tehnikuma ēdināšanas pakalpojumu specialitātes audzēkņu apmācībā. Viena no problēmām apgūstot profesionālo vārdu krājumu ir, ka nav pietiekošu mācību materiālu, kas palīdzētu audzēkņiem uzlabot to un mūsdienu skolēniem vairs nepatīk tradicionālā mācīšanās no grāmatām, kā tas bija agrāk. Bez tam, neviens mācību līdzeklis nepievērš uzmanību skolēnu mācīšanās stiliem, kas ietekmē viņu mācīšanās rezultātus. Pamatojoties uz teorētiskās literatūras izpēti par angļu valodas mācīšanu īpašiem nolūkiem, vārdu krājuma attīstīšanu vispārīgajā un profesionālajā angļu valodā un dažādiem mācīšanās stiliem, t…
