The Impact

This paper uses the matched-guise technique to analyse the impact of accent perception in the context of suspect interrogation. Three native speakers of British English and one of Norwegian recorded a suspect’s statement in a version as close as possible to standard English as well as in their strongest accented pronunciation of English. These recordings were rated by native speakers of English (NSs) and German learners of English (non-native speakers, NNSs) regarding competence, social attractiveness, credibility/guilt and standardness. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of these ratings shows evidence for accented speakers being rated less competent, but more socially attractive and more likely to be guilty than their standard counterparts. Moreover, NNSs’ ratings were significantly higher for competence and guilt in the standard guises, as well as social attractiveness and guilt in the accent guises, while NSs twice as often reported pronunciation/accent having influenced their ratings. This study also found that specific regional stereotypes were less important compared to the perceived degree of standardness.

The Digital Pillory: The impact of the Internet on the development of scandals The Digital Pillory: The impact of the Internet on the development of scandals This article explores the consequences of the changing public arena for the way scandals develop. Scandals, defined as a process of public outrage over a (presumed) transgression of the dominant morality, used to be the domain of the professional mass media. The Internet seems to offer a more level playing field for actors who want to trigger a scandal by disclosing compromising information. But what exactly is the role of the Internet in the different stages of a scandal; which type of actors are dominant and how do media and these websites interact? A qualitative and quantitative analysis of four recent Dutch scandals shows that the Internet, more specifically semiprofessional weblogs can indeed play an important role in exposing, accusing and denouncing the culprit. But the professional media are still very important; when they refuse to adopt a disclosure by bloggers the scandal fails. The role of the Internet users is mainly reactive, but the scale of outrage on the Internet fuels the scandal process.

The name of our project is CITI.GEN Z+. The word citi.gen is a combination of citizen and generation, Z is the number of our generation and + refers to all the future ones. We chose this name because it fully expresses our cause, which is to help the members of the new generations become the global citizens of tomorrow. An overview of global challenges of our world, leads to a basic question ‘How citizens are we?’ and more specific ‘How citizens are the next generation’. In those terms, we design a research to measure the impact in attitudes of global problems to our school community. The methodology based on qualitative and quantitative analysis. As expected, results of this project are the change of the youth’s mentality on matters that affect everyone’s future. We have decided to put together a team of professionals that will help adolescents get through issues they might be faced with and in general aid them in improving their lifestyle. With the passage of time, this “club” will expand and hopefully support all the kids in need. This way, we will create a society where citizens are informed and activated to ameliorate the future.

The purpose of this article is to differentiate servicemen according to the character accentuation and to study the impact of war on their mental features. The objectives stemming from the purpose of the article is to study the age groups of the servicemen who took part in the hostilities, to identify the risk groups, to analyze the psychological tendencies of the «murderer» and the serviceman. The investigation uses a number of research methods: observation, qualitative and quantitative analysis of data and presentation, Rorschach test. In the course of the research, the following conclusions were made: war participants do not always pursue the same goal, war can be a means to satisfy their killing instinct or it can bring out a previous trauma and cause a killing pleasure. It is not necessary for the servicemen to have obvious mental problems to be considered murderers and not take part in hostilities. During the hostilities, people with different personality types are involved, which can leadto different traumas that can arise in different military situations.

Final Particles

Due to their light-weight appearance and polysemy, the acquisition of Chinese sentence-final particles (SFPs) constitutes a criticality for learners of Chinese as a foreign language (CFL). However, the number of studies addressing SFP acquisition and teaching is still limited. This study investigates the use of SFPs in the interactions between 13 Italian CFL learners and 6 native speakers of Chinese participating in a face-to-face tandem-learning project over a three-month timespan. In particular, it focuses on learners’ production of SFPs marking questions (yes/no or truncated) and analyses the factors that foster or hinder SFP use. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the transcribed conversations showed that (i) the most frequently produced SFP was ma, whereas other interrogative SFPs were seldom or never used; (ii) the production of SFPs did not vary over time, instead it seemed to be tied to factors such as the presence of (semi-)fixed chunks or the type of task (focused or unfocused) in which the participants were engaged.

This paper presents the results of qualitative and quantitative analysis of soil pollutants of the industrial enterprises stopped their activities, such as Saki State Chemical Plant. It was found that in samples of soil there are at least 26 pollutants, 5 of which belong to the first class of substances hazard. Concentration of pollutants were investigated and found that in some samples they exceed the maximum permissible concentration in 2-295 times. Article deals with environmental hazard factors of specific pollutants, in particular the impact on the human organism.
