Several studies have shown evidence for the significant role that metaphors play in public health communication. The arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic has triggered not only the use of common communication frameworks such as war metaphors, but also the creative use of metaphors, which is particularly relevant in the case of cartoonists. This article presents a review of the different metaphors used in cartoons (both in Spanish and in English), with the aim of compiling different metaphorical uses and reflecting upon the evaluative function of metaphors and how they contribute to expressing different visions of reality. The examples collected here show not only how certain social and political actions are legitimised or discredited, but also how these uses often appeal to particular contextual knowledge.

AbstractSocial Media have changed the way we communicate privately or professionally. So the users have to understand the structures and specific conditions, the ›logics‹ and ›ideologies‹ of these new communication frameworks, they have to learn new rhetorical skills. On the other hand the users themselves develop and transform these media permanently in a creative way, as a part of their own media culture. This paper discusses various forms and requirements of ›Social Media Rhetorics‹ between persistence and dynamics, between accomodation and innovation - especially concerning Weblogs, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other phenomena as e.g. so called ›memes‹.

The Way

The main goal of this paper is to argue that the way explicitly communicated content is approached in leading pragmatic theories is flawed, since it is posited that explicature generation involves pragmatic enrichment of the decoded logical form of the utterance to full propositionality. This kind of enhancement postulated to underlie explicature generation appears to be theoretically inadequate and not to correspond to the psychological reality of utterance interpretation. Drawing on earlier critique of extant pragmatic positions on explicatures, mainly by Borg (2016) and Jary (2016), I add further arguments against modelling explicitly communicated import in the way leading verbal communication frameworks do. It is emphasized that the cognitively plausible theory of communicated meaning is compromised at the cost of theory-internal concerns.

Country Specific

Science communication research is dominated by Western countries. While their research provides insight into best practices, their findings cannot be generalized to developing countries. This study examined the science communication challenges encountered by scientists and science communicators from Manila, Philippines through an online survey and semi-structured, investigative interviews. Their answers revealed issues which have been echoed in other international studies. However, challenges of accessibility and local attitudes to science were magnified within the Philippine context. These results indicate the ubiquity of certain challenges in science communication and the need for country-specific science communication frameworks. Further research on the identified challenges is needed on a local and global scale.

Communication Frameworks

Strategic communication is an important asset when countering violent extremism at an institutional level, whereas its objective is to give emphasis to internal communication models that function within given organizations and institutions. Internet is one of the main communication frameworks used by violent extremist groups nowadays. Social media networks, such as YouTube for example, are among the most used communication forms used to recruit youngsters and other persons to join the conflict zones in the Middle East. State institutions in Kosovo have acted in preventing violent extremism by drafting national level strategies countering violent extremism. One of the main pillars that is foreseen as an important tool to prevent and react against this negative phenomenon is better education of children and youngsters. Therefore, national education institutions have an important responsibility to counter extremist narratives through internal and external communication as well as to address issues that can aggravate violent behavior and actions.   Received: 12 December 2020 / Accepted: 2 February 2021 / Published: 5 March 2021

The present world is data driven. From social sciences to frontiers of research in science and engineering, one common factor is the continuous data generation. It has started to affect our daily lives. Big data concepts are found to have significant impact in modern wireless communication systems. The analytical tools of big data have been identified as full scale autonomous mode of operation which necessitates a strong role to be played by learning based systems. The chapter has focused on the synergy of big data and deep learning for generating better efficiency in evolving communication frameworks. The chapter has also included discussion on machine learning and cognitive technologies w.r.t. big data and mobile communication. Cyber Physical Systems being indispensable elements of M2M communication, Wireless Sensor Networks and its role in CPS, cognitive radio networking and spectrum sensing have also been discussed. It is expected that spectrum sensing, big data and deep learning will play vital roles in enhancing the capabilities of wireless communication systems.
