Ecolinguistics is also related to the dimensions of the linguistic social environment. Language only lives in the human brain and in its social use by members of the language community. In this regard, changes in the linguistic and cultural environment, in addition to changes in the physical environment, clearly also change the richness of language cognitively and practically in social-verbal interactions. The aims of this study was to determine the lingual form of the Balinese eco-collection of flora and fauna in the dynamics of food culture, the structure of the procedural ecotext of flora-based local food processing in Balinese verbal recordings and to find out the social religious meaning of native food supporting ecotourism in the tourism industry. This research is descriptive qualitative in accordance with the nature of the symptoms and the objectives to be achieved. The data of this research were obtained through field work. Structured in-depth interviews, observations, and recordings are the mainstay of this research. Interviews were conducted in the context of applying the method of personal experience, namely the method (excavation) of personal experience. The results show that the value of the data in the form of verbal (treasury of the lexicon and terms as well as the text of procedures for processing and preserving local traditional foods based on the environment, then meaning becomes the focus of data analysis work. Language stores experience, knowledge, processes and products of human adaptation as ecological creatures In its interrelationship with its environment, the Balinese language embodies culture, marking the unique, cultural-lingual power of its people for centuries.

Las políticas de inclusión social han sido analizadas desde muy diferentes perspectivas, pero en este artículo queremos presentar el análisis de las mismas desde el marco del Análisis del Discurso y la Lexicometría. Para ello nos hemos centrado en el discurso de dos de sus principales actores, aquellos que las diseñan (políticos) y aquellos que las ejecutan (técnicos), recogidos mediante entrevistas en profundidad y grupos focales que se hicieron en el trabajo de campo de un proyecto de investigación más amplio sobre la Políticas Sociales autonómicas en financiado por el por el Ministerio de Economía y Empresa (MIMECO) de España, en la convocatoria de proyectos de Investigación+Desarrollo 2014-2017. Para el análisis del discurso desde parámetros léxicos hemos utilizado el software Iramuteq, el cual, mediante un sistema de codificación y de análisis multidimensional estadístico, nos permite profundizar y categorizar los mundos léxicos presentes en los discursos. En este caso, establecemos una comparativa entre los mundos léxicos de los políticos y de los técnicos con respecto a las políticas de inclusión social en Andalucía. El resultado de la aplicación de esta metodología pone de manifiesto, en un primer momento, la oportunidad que ofrece la lexicometría como una primera forma de acercamiento a las representaciones sociales de los distintos actores, que posteriormente habrán de ser analizados en mayor profundidad con otras metodologías cualitativas. En un segundo momento, ya centrado en el caso analizado, la investigación nos muestra la presencia de dos discursos sobre las políticas de inclusión social en función del perfil del actor que lo enuncia, comprobándose en muchos casos, la distancia entre la percepción teórica (políticos) y la percepción pragmática (técnicos), así como la necesidad de que ambos sean compartidos en aras de una mejora de la eficacia de las políticas de inclusión social.Social inclusion policies have been analyzed from very different perspectives, but in this article we want to present their analysis from the framework of Discourse Analysis and Lexicometry. To this end, we have focused on the discourse of two of its main actors, those who design them (politicians) and those who execute them (technicians), collected through in-depth interviews and focus groups that were done in the field work of a broader research project on autonomous Social Policies funded by MIMECO in the call for R&D projects (2014-2017). For the analysis of discourse from lexical parameters we have used the Iramuteq software, which, through a system of coding and statistical multidimensional analysis, allows us to deepen and categorize the lexical worlds present in the discourse. In this case, we establish a comparison between the lexical worlds of politicians and technicians with respect to social inclusion policies in Andalusia. The result of the application of this methodology shows, at first, the opportunity offered by lexicometry as a first way of approaching the social representations of the different actors, which will later have to be analysed in greater depth with other qualitative methodologies. In a second moment, already centred on the case analysed, the research shows us the presence of two discourses on social inclusion policies according to the profile of the actor who enunciates them, proving in many cases the distance between the theoretical (political) perception and the pragmatic (technical) perception, as well as the need for both to be shared in order to improve the effectiveness of social inclusion policies.

Based on 30 in-depth interviews with Ladina women and field work conducted in a rural town in eastern Guatemala, I examine the physical expressions that violence can take on the women's bodies, such as common physical ailments that result from emotional distress as well as sicknesses that are caused directly by the conditions in which they live. A central theme in the discussion is the embodiment of violence as it is expressed in the control of the women's body in the social milieu, such as the control of their socializing and visiting. I use a sociologically- and anthropologically-informed lens to situate corporeal questions within structures of social inequalities and human suffering and, thus, this examination contributes to debates about the relationship between body and society, macro and micro processes in the social world, as well as explorations between the women's lives and their rights. As such, this examination permits to unveil embedded structures of violence that assault the women's dignity and provoke suffering, as well as those instances in which gender solidarity is created. This examination allows us to explore implications for gender-based social justice.

This study examines the relationship between travel influencers (e.g., bloggers and social media personalities) and destination marketers within the changing travel and tourism industry. Through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis, we explore the tensions between travel influencers and destination marketers that shape the way travel is promoted, labor is compensated, and professional structures are negotiated. We examine a new breed of travel and tourism worker—intermediaries who seek to professionalize and formalize the relationship between influencers and destination marketers while simultaneously solidifying their own role within the industry. Intermediaries promote and facilitate relationships based on structured flexibility—formalized agreements designed to satisfy a brand’s campaign goals yet open enough for influencers to pursue their unique needs. By examining the relationships between digital content creators, destination marketers, and third-party intermediaries, this article provides insight into how digital media industries negotiate the tension between participation and control.

Until 2020, the tourism industry was characterized by a growth rate, the statistics highlight that globally 2019 was the tenth year with a consecutive annual growth. However, the Covid-19 pandemic marked a major turning point in the development of tourism, instead of tourism overdevelopment, the underdevelopment issues appeared in front pages of the industry news. The effects of the pandemic are intensified by the fact that tourism is a labour-intensive industry and that most companies in the sector are SMEs (small and medium sized enterprises). At this time, it is crucially important to look at sustainability issues, therefore the aim of this study is to analyse the social and economic dimensions of sustainability for tourism SMEs. Descriptive statistics as well as qualitative research methods were used to study the challenges posed by the pandemic, in-depth interviews were conducted with tourism SMEs from three different countries. The conclusions show the situation from an enterprise perspective in Russian Federation, Georgia and Latvia.

Social work literature, research, and practice on disabilities has lagged behind other topical areas dealing with oppressed groups. The social work literature remains “expert focused” and generally fragmented into discussions of specific disabilities or subpopulations. A viable general model that deals with the personal experience of disability is not available. This exploratory study presents a social work literature search and analysis as well as interviews with six individuals with disabilities about their experiences with social workers. Individuals with disabilities assert that they were treated as though they had categorically fewer aspirations, abilities, and perhaps even fundamental rights than did nondisabled people. This study provides a base for follow-up research on models of consumer-focused social work practice in the area of disability.

Depth Interviews

Qualitative interviewing is one of the most widely used methods in social research, but it is arguably the least well understood. To address that gap, this book offers a theoretically rigorous, empirically rich, and user-friendly set of strategies for conceiving and conducting interview-based research. Much more than a how-to manual, the book shows why depth interviewing is an indispensable method for discovering and explaining the social world—shedding light on the hidden patterns and dynamics that take place within institutions, social contexts, relationships, and individual experiences. It offers a step-by-step guide through every stage in the research process, from initially formulating a question to developing arguments and presenting the results. To do this, the book shows how to develop a research question, decide on and find an appropriate sample, construct an interview guide, conduct probing and theoretically focused interviews, and systematically analyze the complex material that depth interviews provide—all in the service of finding and presenting important new empirical discoveries and theoretical insights. The book also lays out the ever-present but rarely discussed challenges that interviewers routinely encounter and then presents grounded, thoughtful ways to respond to them. By addressing the most heated debates about the scientific status of qualitative methods, the book demonstrates how depth interviewing makes unique and essential contributions to the research enterprise. With an emphasis on the integral relationship between carefully crafted research and theory building, the book offers a compelling vision for what the “interviewing imagination” can and should be.

Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children who use spoken language face unique challenges when communicating with others who have typical hearing, particularly their peers. In such contexts, the social use of language has been recognized as an area of vulnerability among individuals in this population and has become a focus for research and intervention. The development of pragmatic skills intersects with many aspects of child development, including emotional intelligence and executive function, as well as social and emotional development. While all these areas are important, they are beyond the scope of this chapter, which highlights the impact of pragmatics on the specific area of cognition. Cognitive pragmatics is broadly defined as the study of the mental processes involved in the understanding of meaning in the context of a cooperative interaction. This chapter explores how DHH children and young people construe meaning in the context of conversations and expository interactions with their peers. The chapter aims to examine the role played by the cognitive processes of making inferences and comprehending implicature, within the overall display of pragmatic skills. Further, the authors use this lens in the analysis of interactions between DHH children and their peers in order to shed light on the development of pragmatic skills in children who are DHH.

Literature on political vigilante groups has centred on the violence and conflict that emanate from their activities. This article approaches political vigilante groups as political actors who engage in political mobilisation and participation and therewith also contribute to nation state building. It explores how such groups participate in Ghana’s democratic governance and asks whether violence is an inevitable characteristic. The article builds on individual in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with political vigilante group members in Kumasi and Tamale in 2019. Findings show that political vigilante “youth” appeared to refer primarily to the social position attributed to non-elite groups in the political field. Political vigilante groups are multi-faceted in their organisational structures, membership, and activities both during electoral campaigns and during governing periods. While some groups revert to violence occasionally, the study concludes that political vigilante groups, in enabling different voices to be heard, are also contributing to democratic governance.
