Main idea, concept, message are practically terms denoting the same phenomenon. To give a definition to a text message is no less hard than to formulate the message. Still, stylistic text analysis presupposes detection of text elements that contribute to message formation and are marked from this point of view; the understanding of the message depends on many factors, including extra-linguistic variables: historical and cultural background as well as readers' personality characteristics such as the habit and ability to read, their educational and social status, age and gender. The more pronounced then is the necessity of adequate message formulation. The procedure of literary text translation into other verbal as well as in non-verbal languages helps clearly reveal the message. Several stages of the procedure were worked out in the study to train future teachers in reading and analyzing the text.

This article studies the cognitive features of the “power” frame and its gender implementation in the historical tragedy by W. Shakespeare “Macbeth”. Here, the author examines the concepts of “frame” and “gender” in linguistics, studying different approaches to their definition. The relevance of this work is determined by the close attention of the contemporary linguistics to these concepts, as well as their place in the contemporary academic paradigm. The academic affirmation of the “frame” and “gender” concepts designates a new step in understanding the ways and peculiarities of the language interaction, consciousness, and culture, and, consequently, it shows new aspects of the relationship of linguistics with other sciences. Nevertheless, the problems of both frame and gender are not yet fully understood. This study allows describing in detail the essence of the frame “power” and showing its meaning, use, and ways of its gender implementation in fiction, which explains the novelty of this article. The study’s methodology is based on the cognitive-discursive analysis of the text, as well as on an integrative approach to the discourse study, which combines methods of both cognitive and gender linguistics, as well as the discourse analysis. Common research methods were used along with private linguistic methods. The application of cognitive-discursive analysis has significantly increased the depth of understanding of the “power” frame that dominates Shakespeare’s historical tragedy. This historical text presents the central theme of political tragedy: the overthrow of the rightful ruler and the usurpation of power. The motive for the seizure of power forms a thematic core and is presented from the usurpers’ point of view. In this article, the author observes the gender shift and duality of the female and male beginnings: Shakespeare puts the female protagonist, hungry for power, among men, thus the images of Lady Macbeth and her husband come into conflict with the gender characteristics attributed to them. The play clearly traces the main idea of Machiavellianism: the goal justifies the means. The results conclude that the “power” frame is the leading one in Lady Macbeth’s monologue, thus setting one of the main themes of this tragedy.

The Relationship

The study of text messages has given rise to a number of French language research topics. First, databases of natural text messages have been created in multiple Francophone countries in an effort to link the texters' characteristics with the linguistic markers of the text messages. Many studies have focused on textisms (changes in spelling as compared to the traditional written code), creating repertoires of spelling processes and classifying them into typologies. With regard to linguistic aspects, a few studies have analyzed vocabulary and syntax. Sociolinguistic aspects have also been studied, taking into account the relationship among textisms, age, and gender. To address the question of whether text message writing is a threat to spelling, several studies have analyzed the link between text message writing and traditional writing. Finally, a number of studies have focused on the production processes of text message writing. Future studies will need to take into account the dialogical and conversational aspects of text messages.

Category suggestions or recommendations for customers or users have become an essential feature for commerce or leisure websites. This is a growing topic that follows users’ activity in social networks generating a huge quantity of information about their interests, contacts, among many others. These data are usually collected to analyze people’s behavior, trends, and integrate a complete user profile. In this sense, we analyze a dataset collected from Pinterest to predict the gender and age by processing input images using a Convolutional Neural Network. Our method is based on the meaning of the image rather than the visual content. Additionally, we propose a heuristic-based approach for text analysis to predict users’ age and gender from Twitter. Both of the classifiers are based on text and images and they are compared with various similar approaches in the state of the art. Suggested categories are based on association rules conformed by the activity of thousands of users in order to estimate trends. Computer simulations showed that our approach can recommend interesting categories for a user analyzing his current interest and comparing this interest with similar users’ profiles or trends and, therefore, achieve an improved user profile. The proposed method is capable of predicting the user’s age with high accuracy, and at the same time, it is able to predict gender and category information from the user. The certainty that one or more suggested categories be interesting to people is higher for those users with a large number of publications.

Classification And Treatment

Background: Supramalleolar osteotomies are increasingly popular for addressing asymmetric arthritis of the ankle joint. Still, recommendations for the indication and the use of additional procedures remain arbitrary. We preoperatively grouped different types of asymmetric arthritis into several classes and assessed the usefulness of an algorithm based on these classifications for determining the choice of supramalleolar operative procedure and the risk factors for treatment failure. Methods: Ninety-two patients (94 ankles) were followed prospectively and assessed clinically and radiographically 43 months after a supramalleolar osteotomy for asymmetric arthritis of the ankle joint. Results: Significant improvement of the clinical scores was found. Postoperative reduction of radiological signs of arthritis was observed in mid-stage arthritis. Age and gender did not affect the outcome. Ten ankles failed to respond to the treatment and were converted to total ankle replacements or fused. Conclusions: Supramalleolar osteotomies can be effective for the treatment of early and midstage asymmetric arthritis of the ankle joint. However, certain subgroups have a tendency towards a worse outcome and may require additional surgery. Therefore preoperative distinction of different subgroups is helpful for determination of additional procedures. Level of Evidence: II, Prospective Comparative Study

The Voice

ABSTRACT Introduction The anatomical and physiological changes in the phonatory system due to aging have a major impact on voice. Widely researched parameters of voice like fundamental frequency and the perturbation measures have strong correlation with age. However, these measures depend on the location of the exact pitch pulses and it may yield unreliable results in case of a severely aperiodic voice. Also, harmonic measures of voice in healthy aging are scanty in the literature. Aim The present study focused on determining the changes in harmonic-related measures in healthy aging individuals using spectral amplitude measures. Materials and methods The participants were classified into three groups as young, middle-aged, and elderly adults based on their age. All the participants were required to sustain three different types of vowels. Voice samples were analyzed using CSL software to obtain the spectral amplitude measures. Results This showed that there was a decrease in spectral amplitude measures with aging. Discussion Thus, suggesting that the harmonic structure of voice is not affected in healthy aged individuals. Vowel type and gender also influences the harmonic-related measures in the healthy aging population. Conclusion The results of the present study could be used by the voice clinicians while assessing adults with voice disorders. It will also help the clinicians in delineating the age and gender differences in the vocal parameters. How to cite this article Monnappa D, Balasubramanium RK.

Genetically Determined

The significance of the human face in social interaction can hardly be overestimated. We rely primarily on facial appearance in discriminating between members of our species, but we also use the face to judge the age and gender of a person and to interpret his or her emotional state. We find certain faces pleasant or attractive, attribute personality characteristics to people such as intelligence or honesty based on physiognomy, and use facial cues to guess people's intentions and predict their behavior toward us. Similarly, we can gauge the effect of our words or actions on others by the feedback we receive from their faces. The face assumes a privileged role in social communication almost immediately after birth, suggesting that the neural systems underlying various facial behaviors are to a large extent innately specified and genetically determined.

Alternative medicine consumption is examined as a paradigm case of postmodern consumption. Content analysis of advertisements and analysis of a survey of purchasers of such medicines demonstrate niche markets delineated by life style, an emphasis on symbolic value rather than use value and the use of such medicines as a means of self-assembly – all features predicted by theorists of postmodern society. However, purchasers are predominantly female, and age and gender distinguish different types of products purchased, purchase is not entirely symbolic and many purchases are made to be consumed by others, making it uncertain whether they are used for self-assembly. These results suggest modifications to theories of postmodern consumption are necessary.

From the point of view of Epistemocriticism, a literary text is considered to be at a crossroads where different types of knowledge combine in a transverse dynamics (transknowledge). Such definition refers to the concept of «epistemotext», and extends to the field of literary fictionality (epistemofiction), a knowledge-based system from an epistemological perspective.

Revising the Use of Differentiation in Text-Based Tasks in the Context of Ukrainian–Polish BilingualismThis article describes the specifics of Ukrainian–Polish bilingualism which can be observed in the territory of Ukraine and the present opportunities for studying Polish and Ukrainian. Various ways of using differentiation text-based tasks are proposed in the context of Ukrainian–Polish bilingualism. The article contains a description of differentiation in line with different types of activity. The completion of tasks aimed at familiarization with the text, text analysis, reconstruction, production, and complementation is possible due to different variants of content correlation in Polish and Ukrainian. The differentiation of activities during text analysis, supplemented by students’ own reflections and the results of their creative activity, is realized by finding answers to questions in the text posed in Polish, formulating answers to the questions, and completing the questions. This is made possible in different ways depending on the language used, be it Polish or Ukrainian. Task completion on the reconstruction, construction and complementation of texts is conducted in a similar manner. In case of difficulties, it is possible to use one’s native language in determining the main idea of the text, drawing up a plan, comparing two texts, etc. The use of different types of translation is an important method of differentiation when working with texts. The author also considers native language materials in a textbook’s methodological guidelines to be useful. O kwestii zastosowania zróżnicowanego podejścia podczas opracowywania tekstów przez studentów w warunkach dwujęzyczności ukraińsko-polskiejAutorka omawia cechy dwujęzyczności ukraińsko-polskiej na Ukrainie oraz dostępne możliwości nauki języka polskiego i ukraińskiego. Przedstawia sposoby zastosowania zróżnicowania w pracy uczniów z tekstami w warunkach dwujęzyczności ukraińsko-polskiej. Zamieszcza opis tego zróżnicowania w zależności od rodzaju pracy z tekstem. Podaje, że wykonanie zadań związanych z zapoznaniem się z tekstem, jego analizą, odtworzeniem, konstrukcją i uzupełnieniem tekstu jest możliwe dzięki różnym korelacyjnym opcjom materiału w języku polskim i ukraińskim. Rozróżnienie podejścia podczas analizy tekstu zostało uzupełnione wyrażaniem własnych opinii przez uczniów i wynikami ich działań twórczych. Są one realizowane również poprzez wykonywanie zadań mających na celu odnalezienie w tekście polskim odpowiedzi na pytania, ułożenie takiej odpowiedzi i uzupełnienie pytań. Jest to możliwe do zrobienia w różny sposób, w zależności od użycia języka polskiego lub ukraińskiego. Podobnie uczniowie wykonują zadania polegające na streszczaniu, konstruowaniu i uzupełnianiu tekstów. W przypadku powstania trudności możliwe jest użycie języka ojczystego przy ustalaniu głównej myśli w tekście, sporządzaniu planu, porównywaniu dwóch fragmentów itp. Ważny sposób stosowania zróżnicowania w pracy z tekstem – to użycie różnych rodzajów tłumaczeń. Za przydatne autorka uważa również materiały w języku ojczystym zawarte we wskazówkach metodycznych podręcznika.

Over Time

New technologies have provoked a debate regarding the role of non-standard typography (e.g. !!!, :-*). Some contend that new technologies undermine literacy while others state that new technologies provide new spaces for expressive writing and signal a form of symbolic capital. While previous research has primarily focused on age and gender to account for non-standard typography, we analyze socio-economic variables – education and income level and the use of NST over time. This study entertains these two competing hypotheses by analyzing non-standard typography in text message exchanges over three and a half months in an underprivileged population: people living in an urban public housing. Data reveal that, within this sample, use of NST increased over time and participants with higher education levels were more likely to use non-standard typography than less educated counterparts. Experience with texting was found to mediate this effect. Findings support a symbolic capital hypothesis of non-standard typography use, suggesting NST is not associated with stigmatizing lack of knowledge or literacy, but rather may signal the knowledge of discourse norms ascribed to texting in a community.
