2014

[EN] The Ando-Beranek s model, a linear version of Ando s subjective preference theory, obtained by the authors in a recent work, was combined with Barron revised theory.

The Dawn of the Human-Machine Era: A forecast of new and emerging language technologies

2021

New language technologies are coming, thanks to the huge and competing private investment fuelling rapid progress; we can either understand and foresee their effects, or be taken by surprise and spend our time trying to catch up. This report scketches out some transformative new technologies that are likely to fundamentally change our use of language. Some of these may feel unrealistically futuristic or far-fetched, but a central purpose of this report - and the wider LITHME network - is to illustrate that these are mostly just the logical development and maturation of technologies currently in prototype. But will everyone benefit from all these shiny new gadgets? Throughout this report we …

Edukacja językowa w zakresie języka ojczystego w czasach zmiany kulturowej

2018

Przemiany dokonujące się we współczesnej kulturze dotykają różnych sfer życia człowieka, również języka i komunikacji, skłaniając do przemyślenia zadań i priorytetów szkolnego kształcenia językowego. Szczególna uwaga należy się tym wzorcom językowego komunikowania nabywanym przez uczniów w procesie socjalizacji, które odbiegają od ideałów szkolnych. W artykule omawiam niektóre z nich, zwracam uwagę na konsekwencje w postaci niepożądanych zmian w strukturze kompetencji językowo-komunikacyjnej młodego pokolenia oraz postaw wobec języka i komunikacji werbalnej. Dochodzę do wniosku, że przeobrażenia w kontekście kulturowo-komunikacyjnym nie stawiają przed współczesną edukacją językową całkiem n…

Persuaziâ, manipulâciâ i religioznyj âzyk:teoretičeskij aspekt

2021

This article is an attempt at a theolinguistic description of such concepts as manipulation, persuasia, and religious language. The author focuses primarily on the theoretical aspect of the stated problem. In the first part of the work, such concepts as manipulation, persuasia and speech influence are analyzed. Their hierarchy is being organized and it is concluded that persuasia and manipulation, when considered in “pure form” is the polar form of speech influence, different in means of achieving the goal: if persuasia is an open speech influence, suggesting a deliberate choice by the recipient, speech influence with the sign “+”, then the manipulation is speech influence, often using hidd…

Co utrudnia opis logopedycznych zjawisk? Od słuchoniemoty, afazji wrodzonej i alalii do specyficznego zaburzenia językowego (SLI)

2016

This article, dedicated to Professor Stanisław Gajda because of his anniversary, raises theoretical issues of accuracy and explicitness of terms used in science which are familiar to him. Logopaedics, by virtue of its interdisciplinary character and exposure to borderline of numerous and often very distant from each other sciences such as anatomy, linguistics or physics, significantly uses appropriate for these sciences tools of descriptions (freąuently doubling notions) and thus, it represents a very good example of discipline in which unnecessary overgrowth of terminology makes it difficult to track research results and ąuality analysis of phenomena. Specific Language Impairment (SLI) is …

Odmiana medialna języka a ustne wypowiedzi uczniów

2022

This article seeks to answer the question whether features of media language can be discerned in the utterances of the younger generation and, if so, which ones. The oral presentations performed during the secondary school final examinations (obtained from the recordings) were studied. They have never been analysed in this respect before. The presentations have, on the one hand, an official character and, on the other, are spontaneous as they are produced on an ad hoc and continuous basis, with no possibility of predicting their final shape. First, the article reviews the characterisation of media language by researchers working on the subject in order to establish a group of the most disti…
