A few remarks on colloquial language in Italy
2016
The present work focuses on the analysis of colloquial Italian starting from the rasgos coloquializadores (a series of conversational markers) describing the Spanish sociolinguistic research on informal contexts. After a short introduction on the rasgos, the second part of this article deals with the pattern of colloquial Italian. It may be considered a macro-variety sharing features belonging to several varieties of the Italian linguistic repertoire, further supported by the use of dialect. The theoretical context is also based on a significant number of examples from spontaneous and colloquial speech collected in Palermo. These examples show both the varied features of colloquial Italian …
Medialne formy komunikowania obywateli z władzą
2017
The purpose of this paper is to characterize the media forms of the communication of citizens with the authorities. The discourse types with high occurrence in the public sphere of communication with the authorities are: open letter, petition, appeal, resolution of opinion, and comments in the social media (e.g. on Facebook). It can be said that these genres are a form of direct participation of citizens in the process of exercising power. They are the Citizen s weapon, a tool to exert influence on the fin a ł decisions of the authorities in matters of public life. The themes of public magazines are varied, most often „ hot cases ” referring to decisions currently taken by the authorities. …
L'argumentation réflexive des universitaires européens face aux réformes
2015
International audience; La réforme des universités européennes entamée initiée à Bologne a été pilotée à partir de politiques publiques, pour repenser la place de l’université dans la société. En revanche, les mouvements contestataires universitaires ont été essentiellement conduits par les chercheurs eux-mêmes à partir d’une réflexion générale sur leur travail. Ce positionnement entraîne un type d’argumentation très personnalisé, à côté d’une argumentation plus classique visant à décrire de manière objective l’état du système universitaire et de la société qui le porte. Comment dès lors rendre compte de la dimension subjective et personnalisée de cette rhétorique, visant à produire chez l’…
Heteroglossic and multimodal resources in use : participation across spaces of identification in a Christian lifestyle sports community
2017
This dissertation examines how members of one particular youth community, Christian lifestyle sports enthusiasts in Finland, use language and other semiotic resources to construct participation in their community of practice (CoP). The CoP is organized around the late-modern activity culture of lifestyle sports. The participants also share the Christian faith and in their snowboarding camps organize Bible study sessions and engage in prayer and worship. The theoretical and methodological framework incorporates sociolinguistics, social semiotics, discourse studies and connective ethnography, including the exploration of both the digital and physical spaces of the community. The dissertation …
Lietišķo e-pastu reģistra analīze
2016
Mūsdienās elektroniskais pasts ir kļuvis par plaši izmantotu komunikācijas līdzekli uzņēmumos. Pētījuma mērķis bija noteikt lietišķo e-pastu reģistra izplatītākās iezīmes Latvijas azartspēļu uzņēmuma iekšējā un ārējā komunikācijā. Pētījumā tika izmantots Baibera un Konrāda (2009) reģistra analīzes modelis individuālajam e-pastam. Pētījuma rezultāti parādīja, ka lietišķajiem e-pastiem ir gan mutvārdu, gan rakstiskās diskursa īpašības. Lietišķo e-pastu izplatītākās iezīmes ir patstāvīgie darbības vārdi, lietvārdi, modālie darbības vārdi, personu vietniekvārdi, nozarē lietoti žargonismi un saīsinājumi. To lietojumu ietekmē situācijas konteksts , un to var sekmīgi pētīt, izmantojot Baibera un K…
La description du conditionnel français dans quatre grammaires finlandaises
2016
The present study aimed to explore whether the French grammar books produced in Finland between 1990 and 2015 show signs of contextualization in their description of the French conditional form. The research plan for the present study was inspired by the one used by the research program GRAC (Grammaire et contextualisation) that aims to discover the varieties of descriptions of the French grammar in different countries. Contextualization is understood as differences in relation to the standard French description of the French lan-guage. The grammar books studied in the present study are all in Finnish and are used by Finnish students learning French. Therefore it is expected that the common…
Naja, normal und normal. Zur Syntax, Semantik und Pragmatik der x-und-x-Konstruktion im Deutschen
2012
This article deals with the syntax, semantics and pragmatics of the x und x (‘x and x’) construction in German, cf. A: Schade, dass die [Schabracken] so teuer sind! B: Naja, teuer und teuer, wenn die Qualitat stimmt, dann finde ich den Preis okay. (A: ‘What a pity that the horsetrappers are so expensive!’ B: ‘Well, expensive and expensive, if the quality is good, the price is fine with me.’). The specific discourse function of this construction is to negotiate the situational meaning of a previously used lexical item. Typologically, it has been claimed that the pattern is language-specific for Scandinavian. The paper challenges this assumption, providing empirical evidence from a questionna…
Immediacy and distance in teacher talk—A comparative case study in German elementary- and outdoor school-teaching
2017
This case study examines authentic speech acts by a German primary school teacher in the classroom context and the outdoor learning location of a forest. The study will compare the degree of linguistic immediacy or distance in these two contexts, respectively. Once a week, the class is doing “outdoor school” [Draußenschule] in places of natural or cultural interest near to their school. The structural change in the teaching environment means a change in the communication setting. The question arises if the teacher speaks to the students differently indoors than outdoors. The theoretical reference framework for the study is provided by the linguistic model “language of immediacy and language…

Jautājumu veidi uzņēmumu mājas lapās
2018
Uzņēmumiem mājaslapas ir nozīmīgs komunikācijas kanāls, kas klientiem ļauj uzzināt nepieciešamo informāciju visā mājaslapā vai ‘Biežāk uzdotie jautājumi’ un ‘Palīdzība’ sadaļās, kur atrodamas atbildes uz dažādiem jautājumiem. Pētījuma mērķis bija veikt jautājumu analīzi un salīdzināt to lietojumu mazumtirdzniecības un banku mājaslapās. Izpētes procesā tika pielietota diskursa analīze. Rezultāti norāda, ka banku mājaslapas satur vairāk jautājumu nekā mazumtirdzniecības mājaslapas, tomēr noteikta veida jautājumi – wh-/how jautājumi, plašais modālo palīgdarbības vārdu can un will, kā arī tagadnes laika lietojums jautājumu formēšanā bija līdzīgas valodu iezīmes abu sfēru mājaslapās. Var secināt…
