The forms of address constitute a complex system that regulates the interpersonal relations created in the situation of communication. It is a pragmatic category with direct impact on the relations established by each social and linguistic community. As we have already mentioned in a previous unpublished communication, some forms of pronominal address, the forms Tu, Vós, Você and Vocês are a current social concern, which speakers refer to on social networks but also in more traditional public discourses, such as political discourse and media discourse or academic discourse. We aim to analyse and systematize the way in which speakers represent, in explicit comments, but also implicitly, the functions and values of these forms of address in the construction of a (im)polite speech. Within a discursive-pragmatic approach, the present analysis combines interpersonal relations and the politeness theory, in particular the pragmatic concept of face. Data for analysis were collected from web sites, namely blogs and Facebook.

This chapter reviews the different types of personalization systems commonly employed by Web sites and argues that their deployment as Web site interface design decisions may have as big an impact as the personalization systems themselves. To accomplish this, this chapter makes a case for treating Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) issues seriously. It also argues that Web site interface design decisions made by organizations, such as the type and level of personalization employed by a Web site, have a direct impact on the communication capability of that Web site. This chapter also explores the impact of the deployment of personalization systems on users’ loyalty towards the Web site, thus underscoring the practical relevance of these design decisions.

A Current

There is a current gap in the nomenclature of psychiatric in-patient services. There are few descriptions of types of in-patient care and over recent years the literature has abounded with debates concerning alternatives. However, it may be argued that these debates have been based on the creation of the ‘straw man’ of the psychiatric admission, which is only fit for knocking down. Although a post-war consensus has emerged concerning the need to abandon the Victorian asylums, this has often been misrepresented as the need to avoid in-patient admission. The poorly articulated and emotional concept of community care and its lack of clear and consistent definition in public policy and key legislation have contributed to this (Bulmer, 1987). Recent changes in our view of community care have led to a refining of the concept and a shift from its comforting appellations (Titmus, 1968) to a pragmatic approach that matches it to empirical experiences and new resources. This approach sees psychiatric services for adults as being based locally and provided by a spectrum of services – in-patient, residential and ambulatory (Department of Health, 1996) – based on best available evidence. This article has been written with these issues in mind. We will address the current problems of in-patient care and the current literature on alternatives and supplements to traditional in-patient units.

Conceptualizing conversational humour as (im)politeness: The case of film talk

Critical Overview

AbstractThis paper addresses the methodology and theory of research on conversational humour in the context of (im)politeness theory, focusing on the production and reception ends (the speaker’s intention and the hearer’s evaluation respectively). In the light of a critical overview of the relevant scholarship from both humour and impoliteness studies, several notions are elucidated, such as mock (im)politeness or banter. Generally, conversational humour forms may give rise to face-saving and rapport, thereby subscribing to (solidarity) politeness; and/or face-threat and conflict indicative of impoliteness. Moreover, impoliteness can be viewed as a source of humour in its own right, especially in media entertainment discourse. Additionally, one utterance may invite diverging evaluations on the part of the various participants, depending on their interactional statuses: the butt/target or the receiver of humour, which is most pronounced in media discourse. This discussion on the interdependence between humour and (im)politeness is conducted with reference to film talk and is illustrated with humorous extracts taken from the American series entitled “House”.

Communicative Space

The object of consideration in the article is the communicative space of the linguistic community, which can be represented as a set of socio-speech spheres. The subject of the research of the article is the ordinary media communication as a socio-speech sphere with its inherent discursive practices and genre forms of their implementation. The article defines the boundaries of the manifestation of everyday media communication. The sphere of ordinary media communication is differentiated on the basis of two oppositions, taking into account a type of linguistic personality and a type of communicative context: a professional/nonprofessional linguistic personality, a natural/artificial communicative context. On this basis, the following manifestations of ordinary media communication are distinguished as follows: nonprofessional everyday media discourse, pseudo-media discourse, everyday professional media discourse. On the basis of the typology of speech events as narrative, declarative and representative, discursive practices are distinguished into event-ideas, referential and textual events. Narrative discursive practices actualize textual events. They recreate a textual event as a communicative event that is delayed in time. These discursive practices are implemented in the genres of everyday conversation and private history. The declarative discursive practices are related to the actualization of the referential events. This is a manifestation of the reflective activities of native speakers, the result of which is their judgments on the media activities: issues of media activity, about their work, etc. These discursive practices are implemented in the genres of media myths and superstitious media features. The representative discursive practices actualize event-ideas, presenting an interpretation of various media events. The article considers such genres of their implementation as media anecdotes, media commentary and the media “note” genre as the implementation of pseudo-media discourse.

This paper focuses on the new civil partnership starting with the decision of 11.7.2013 ECHR condemning Greece because of the exclusion of same-sex couples from civil partnership. On the occasion of this condemnation a total abolition of civil partnership would be a temporary and regressive solution.By n. 4356 / 2015 the institution of civil partnership was reformed and the couple is considered as married regarding their interpersonal relations and in the remaining relationships the focus is on private autonomy. The legislative assimilation of the comrades who have signed a civil partnership with a married couple cannot work in the field of affinity with children. The regulatory model of different sex parents and the law of medically assisted reproduction are still dominant. This act of the legislature does not constitute a legal limbo but a conscious choice, which according to the writer does not infringe the principle of equality and Article 4 of the ECHR.Finally, it is important to say that a current study made by the lawmaking Committee of the Ministry of Justice for sex identification could modify a lot of things in the field of family law.

Abstract Sort of is a pragmatic particle with a range of functions in different contexts. There are different factors which can contribute to its varied functions. Focusing on the media discourse, this study investigates the frequency and pragmatic functions of sort of in New Zealand English. Based on the analysis of the data from a current affairs TV program, the study shows that sort of is a pragmatic particle under-used in this discourse type. The analysis of its pragmatic functions demonstrates that right amount of information and mitigation fulfill a substantial proportion of sort of functions. The other two functions, avoidance and discourse management, are less frequent, but still perform important roles in effective media communication.

Current Emphasis

A current emphasis in theological anthropology is that we become persons through our relations to others. Ethically valuable and pastorally illuminating insights that as persons we develop in relation to others have been used wrongly to underpin the claim that personhood is relational — a claim which is logically confused and ethically precarious. Alistair I. McFadyen, whose book The Call to Personhood has been influential in this respect, describes personhood as the ‘sedimentation’ of interpersonal relations. Elaine L. Graham places the stress on cultural interaction as a prerequisite for the development of beings into persons. In her study of gender and personhood, Making the Difference, Graham argues that her ‘relational’ account of gender is ‘suggestive of a model of human nature as profoundly relational, requiring the agency of culture to bring our personhood fully into being’. The potential ethical danger behind a view of personhood as relational is apparent from statements made by Vincent Brümmer in his volume The Model of Love, to the effect that ‘both our identity and our value as persons is constituted by our relations of fellowship with others’.

Recently, different opinions on teacher training in Lithuania have been increasingly heard during various meetings and conferences. This discussion was inspired by a number of challenges. Currently, the country is facing a considerable demographic problem: a declining number of pupils at schools, optimization of school network, and aging teaching staff. This reality has a direct impact on the training strategy of teachers. A current offer is to establish two teacher-training centres in Vilnius and Kaunas, and to connect the universities of Klaipeda and Siauliai to them. It has been noticed that more and more young people, who have graduated from higher education and want to work at schools, prefer one-year pedagogical studies, or even a double qualification degree instead of four years of full pedagogical studies. For this reason, there is an increasing interest in organizing pedagogical studies at Vilnius University and Kaunas University of Technology.
