Una ragionevole apologia di John Stuart Mill
2022
La libertà di espressione è tra i valori più cari al costituzionalismo liberale moderno e contemporaneo. Limitare la libertà di ciascuno di dire ciò che vuole è, da questa prospettiva, sempre guardato con sospetto.Giorgio Maniaci nel suo saggio si scaglia apertamente contro questa prospettiva.L’idea di Maniaci è che la menzogna sia pericolosissima e vada dunque estirpata dai discorsi pubblici. Questo perché la libertà di espressione non è un valore in sé ma è uno strumento a sostegno della democrazia e della possibilità dei cittadini di formarsi un’opinione libera e scientificamente corretta. Le credenze falsificate dalla scienza non hanno diritto di cittadinanza nel discorso pubblico. In q…
Sociolinguistic Resilience Among Young Academics. A Quantitative Analysis in Germany and France
2021
International audience; Already Friedrich Schiller was convinced that language mirrors a nation. If this is the case, then the often deplored ‘brutalization of language’, which has almost become a buzzword in the wake of the refugee crisis in Germany that started in 2015, points to a serious social crisis by raising questions of (national) identity and self-understanding. Based on newly introduced sociolinguistic resilience concept in line with the concept of group focus enmity (GFE) combining the dimensions of co-adaptation and co-evolution of linguistic signs, this article presents preliminary empirical evidence of a ‘classroom’ survey conducted among students in four university towns in …
Naida runa haštagu izpausmē
2022
Sociālie tīkli mūsdienās ir kļuvuši par platformu vārda brīvības īstenošanai. Haštagi ar savām unikālajām funkcijām atvieglo iespēju sasniegt lielāku auditoriju tiešsaistē. Diemžēl tieši šī funkcija atvieglo arī naida runas izplatīšanos lietotāju starpā. Situācijās, kad pats haštags var tikt uzskatīts par naida runu, pastāv lielāka iespēja, ka tas tiks atklāts un izdzēsts. Tomēr problēma rodas tad, kad pats haštags šķiet nekaitīgs. Bakalaura darbā "Naida runa haštagu izpausmē" ir sniegts ieskats par haštagu fenomenu. Autore analizē iespēju uzskatīt haštagus par vārda brīvības un naida runas formu. Visbeidzot, autore piedāvā piemērot konteksta kritēriju un citus Rabātas rīcības plāna kritēri…

Rakstveida sarunu iezīmes tiešsaistes diskusiju forumos
2017
Pastāv dažādas komunikācijas formas un viena no tām ir digitālā komunikācija. Ziņu sūtīšana un saņemšana notiek digitālā vidē, kur valda īpaši noteikumi, nerakstīti likumi, kur valodas stila pielietojums atšķiras gan funkcionāli, gan pēc tipiskā satura. Digitālā valoda tiek identificēta kā “rakstveida saruna”, jo tā balstās, izmantojot rakstu kodu un sarunvalodas dinamiskās īpašības. Sociālajos forumos ziņu apmaiņa noris caur t.s. diskusiju pavedieniem, kas dod iespēju parādīt dalībnieku iejaukšanos pēc tā veida, kas tiek izteikta un mērīta kā reakcija vienam uz otru. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot, kāda veida iejaukšanās dominē diskusiju forumos tīmekļa vietnē “Doctissimo.fr”? Darba auto…
Celebrity endorsements and congratulatory messages: Jordan v. Jewel Food Stores: A case of right to publicity versus commercial speech
2016
Product endorsements by athletes are common brand-building tactics. The brand receives additional consumer attention and goodwill created by the athlete. The athlete receives compensation that may exceed their player salary. However, local sport heroes create community pride for their accomplishments. Fans show their pride by congratulating the sport star. Is a local, non-endorsing company allowed to offer similar congratulations? In 2012, a US appellate court was asked to decide a case where Michael Jordan claimed that a Chicago grocery store chain's congratulatory message violated his right to publicity. Through an analysis of this legal case, this paper will discuss the following issues:…
Linguistic and cultural identity : Finns who have been through English immersion education
2007
The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of English immersion education on the linguistic and cultural identities of Finns, with a view to understanding the interaction between English second language acquisition and identity. In-depth, semi- structured interviews were conducted with seven graduates from the English School in Helsinki, all of whom have Finnish parents and studied through English for most of their childhoods. The study addresses the question of whether acquiring and speaking English as children causes Finns to identify with non-Finnish linguistic and cultural communities, such as native English speaking communities. This is particularly relevant considering the …
La independencia de Kosovo como paradigma de la indefinición actual del derecho de libre determinación de los pueblos
2019
La independencia de Kosovo, declarada el 17 de febrero del año 2008 por el parlamento de la provincia federada de Kosovo, integrada en la República de Serbia, ha hecho aflorar un singular problema, teórico y práctico, larvado desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX y todavía no resuelto, con repercusiones fundamentales en el ámbito filosófico, jurídico y político: la titularidad, el ejercicio y el alcance de uno de los derechos más reivindicados y controvertidos en el ámbito internacional: el derecho de libre de determinación de los pueblos, más allá de los países sometidos a dominación colonial. En efecto, la situación de Kosovo constituye un auténtico paradigma en relación con el significado …
An Efficient Implementation of Parallel Parametric HRTF Models for Binaural Sound Synthesis in Mobile Multimedia
2020
The extended use of mobile multimedia devices in applications like gaming, 3D video and audio reproduction, immersive teleconferencing, or virtual and augmented reality, is demanding efficient algorithms and methodologies. All these applications require real-time spatial audio engines with the capability of dealing with intensive signal processing operations while facing a number of constraints related to computational cost, latency and energy consumption. Most mobile multimedia devices include a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) that is primarily used to accelerate video processing tasks, providing high computational capabilities due to its inherent parallel architecture. This paper describes…
How do native speakers of Russian evaluate yes/no questions produced by Finnish L2 learners?
2010
This study analyzes native Russian speakers’ evaluation of seven Russian yes/noquestions each produced by Finnish speakers in two sets of recordings (during a stay in Russia and after it). The Finnish speakers were six female university students of Russian. This research question is interesting because the two typologically unrelated languages differ in the prosody of yes/no-questions. In Russian a yes/no-question is created from a lexically and syntactically corresponding statement by means of intonation, whereas in Finnish the cue for questioning is an interrogative particle – ko/-kö instead of prosody. Hence, native Finnish speakers are likely to have difficulties in pronouncing Russian …
