La presse représente, par essence, un discours intertextuel composé de citations explicites, mais également de références plus implicites qui la placent dans un interdiscours complexe. En particulier, il est admis que les médias s’inspirent largement les uns des autres, créant entre différents articles, genres et publications des liens intertextuels et interdiscursifs qui sont susceptibles d’évoluer dans le temps. La présente étude se propose d’analyser ces liens et, plus particulièrement, ceux constitués par les métaphores appliquées au domaine du climat telles qu’elles sont employées dans la presse généraliste anglophone. La métaphore, qu’elle soit pédagogique ou constitutive d’une théorie, est ici définie comme une projection d’un domaine vers un autre créant une analogie qui permet de mieux comprendre le domaine spécialisé concerné. Le phénomène qui nous intéresse ici est celui de la circulation des métaphores entre presse et discours spécialisé et, au sein du discours de presse, entre journaux, aires géographiques et périodes de temps. Afin de comprendre ce phénomène, un corpus d’articles de presse portant sur le changement climatique publiés dans le Daily Telegraph, le Guardian, le New York Times et USA Today entre 2014 et 2017 a été constitué. Celui-ci est comparé à un corpus de Earth Negotiation Bulletins, rapports issus de la COP21 en 2015. Les métaphores liées au domaine du climat ont été identifiées et analysées notamment à l’aide du logiciel WMatrix et de son outil d’identification des domaines sémantiques. Il apparaît ainsi que les journaux s’inspirent des textes spécialisés, mais n’abordent pas nécessairement les métaphores de la même manière. La période, l’aire géographique et la ligne éditoriale des journaux influencent également l’usage des métaphores.

The paper is a brief analysis of the various discussions and news reported in media of four countries, after the abrogation of Art. 35(A) and Art. 370. The paper also discusses the historical genesis of the Kashmir dynamics and how the Kashmir conflict has assumed different perceptions and distinction amid the international community.

The paper analyzes the news and debates in Chinese CGTN TV and Global Times; select American print media Washington Post, New York Times, and USA Today; the India Today TV and Pakistan’s Geo News and ARY News. The paper shows how the contents vary according to the suitability of the particular countries’ priority and policies.

Abstract In political discourse metaphors are frequently employed for persuading and manipulating the public. The aim of our research is to show whether there are differences in the use of source domains of conceptual metaphors among Croatian politicians in comparison with American and Italian politicians. The corpus of our research consists of political newspaper articles and interviews from Croatian, American and Italian daily newspapers (Jutarnji list, Večernji list, Corriere della Sera, Repubblica, ABC, USA Today and The New York Times), downloaded from newspaper archives. We can conclude that metaphorical expressions vary from language to language, but often the same metaphorical expressions appear in all languages. Expressions that frequently recur are victory, attack, battle, race, defense, splay, stage and role. Except for two ontological metaphors in Croatian examples, we can say that there is no major difference in the source domains between Croatian, American and Italian political discourse.

A DISCUSSION at the Vancouver Film Festival 1995 Among the many discussions taking place during the Trade Forum at Vancouver's International Film Festival was a rapt and lively presentation of how Broadcasters Support Filmmakers. The principal speaker was David Aukin of Channel Four who was introduced by Wayne Skeene, President of Skeene Communications in Vancouver. WS: David Aukin is a Commissioning Editor and Head of Drama for Channel 4, that "idiosyncratic little company" as Variety puts it, "that defies all the rules of Hollywood." The New York Times calls David "arguably the most influential figure in the British film industry." The Daily Telegraph calls him "The Sun King of the Silver Screen" and there's more: "The mastermind behind the largest filmmaking budget in Britain." David studied law at Oxford, worked for a period as a solicitor, made a career change to theatre in 1970 when he...
