The precedent context of Russian mass media discourse

The role of precedent phenomena in the media space, in the processes of text generation and meaning formation of the media text is studied. Today, the media are modelling the reality. It may differ from the reality as it is, which is not reflected, but presented through diverse interpretations. In interpreting a statement/message, a significant role belongs to precedent phenomena and the underlying knowledge structures. The problems of the media text, a socially significant communicative environment of our time, determined the relevance of the research. The purpose of the study is to characterize the role of precedent units in interpreting the media text (at the level of meaning and significance). The materials of the research are Russian newspapers, the Newspaper Corpus of the Russian Language, the National Corpus of the Russian Language, and internet sources in Russian. The authors used methods of the discursive level, discourse analysis of precedent phenomena, taking into account their extra-linguistic dimension; the cognitive projection of the study assumed linguo-cognitive analysis and linguo-cognitive modeling as modeling the structure of meaning, text formation and sense formation based on precedent units. The study provides a discourse analysis of precedent phenomena taking into account their extralinguistic dimension and a liguocognitive analysis in order to model additional meanings and the structure of the meaning of precedent units. The cognitive approach identified the role of extralinguistic knowledge in forming the meaning of the text and the precedent unit. Thematized (invariant) knowledge shared by communicants is the key to the successful interpretation of the precedent unit and the functional effectiveness of the media text. Prospects: in the future, it seems promising to study the corpus of precedent units relevant to professional and citizen journalism, their structure, differences, spheres of functioning, as well as modeling the meaning of precedent units in social networks, memes, and the blogosphere.

The boom in new theories of resonance is most certainly due to an intellectual atmosphere closely linked to the so-called “affective turn” in the humanities. The paper compares some theories of resonance or responsivity such as Thomas Fuchs’ phenomenological-psychopathological analysis of resonance and Bernhard Waldenfels’ phenomenology of responsivity with a sociological research on resonance by which Hartmut Rosa aims at contrasting the capitalist dictatorship of the growth-acceleration-innovation triad and the resulting loss of bodily resonance in the modern age, and above all with Hermann Schmitz’s (neo) phenomenology idea of felt-bodily (leiblich) communication. My aim is to show that by providing a neophenomenological approach to atmospheric perception – viewed as an affective and pre-reflexive bodily communication triggered by a spatial feeling whose sounding board is our Leib – a pathic aesthetics can assign both a diagnostic and a therapeutic value to the concept of resonance. This furthermore means that a sociology also attentive to the bodily and pre-linguistic dimension and a phenomenology also attentive to situative and historical-collective dimensions, both being able to focus on the pathicity of everyday life, may find an unexpected but promising point of contact.

SOCIOLINGUISTIC «READING» OF THE WORLD OF EVERYDAYNESS: LANGUAGE PRACTICES OF THE UKRAINIANS OF KHOLMSHCHINA AND SOUTHERN PІDLASHSHIA IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR (1914–1918)

he article is devoted to one of the little-known periods of the language situation in which autochthonous Ukrainians from the far western ethnic Ukrainian lands lived. The relevance of the topic is stipulated by the need to develop a theory of historical sociolinguistics on language, power and identity. The revealed relations of language practices (microhistorical standard of living of an individual) to the geopolitics (as macrohistory) allow us to state that the linguistic dimension of the communicative everyday life of the Ukrainian speech community appears through a set of features realized before and during the war of 1914. Before the war, the colloquial form of the Ukrainian language as a means of interpersonal communication had a dialectal nature, which was layered with Polonization and Russification influences, and oral and written forms of the Russian language were a means of official communication. During the war of 1914–1918, there were changes in the language use of Ukrainians: the Russian language in the territories of Kholmshchyna and Pidlaschia curtailed its functions after the withdrawal of the tsarist troops together with the forcibly deported Ukrainians; Ukrainian-language practices in the Kholm region did not have a chance to develop due to the support of the Austrian occupation authorities for the functions of the German and Polish languages; in Polonized Pidlaschia, occupied by the German authorities, owing to the activities of the Union for the Liberation of Ukraine and later representatives of the Ukrainian authorities, Ukrainian forces managed to partially develop the functions of the Ukrainian language in administration, primary education and periodicals. Ukrainian literary language began to slowly realize its communicative, informational and unifying social functions.

I’jaz Al-Qur’an Ditinjau dari Aspek Ilmu Bahasa

Scholars have used various approaches to understand the Qur'an because of its two main dimensions: the linguistic dimension and its content. Those are a great combination that cannot be matched by anyone, even though all have gathered to match it. One such approach is the stylistic approach. Al-Qur'an has a high uslub/style of language so that it becomes one of its miraculous elements. This study aim to reviewing Surah al-'Ādiyāt using a stylistic approach with library research methods. Surah al-'Ādiyāt, from the point of view of the balaghah holds a myriad of secrets, which can be classified into beautiful uslub. Likewise, from a stylistic point of view, although only in a few lines, the stylistic elements can be obtained beautifully. People who oppose the Qur'an from the polytheists or the People of the Book can slowly be conquered by the beauty of the language of the Qur'an. This is one of the methods of preaching the Prophet Muhammad SAW by prioritizing the elements of beauty.ABSTRAKBerbagai pendekatan telah digunakan oleh para ilmuan untuk memahami al-Qur’an, karena dua dimensi utamanya yaitu dimensi kebahasaan dan kandungannya adalah sebuah perpaduan yang sangat agung yang tak dapat ditandingi oleh siapapun, walaupun semuanya berkumpul untuk menandinginya. Salah satu pendekatan tersebut adalah pendekatan stilistika. al-Qur’an memilki uslub/gaya bahasa yang tinggi sehingga menjadi salah satu unsur kemu’jizatannya. Dalam mengkaji Surah al-‘Ādiyāt dengan menggunakan pendekatan Stilistika, penulis menggunakan metode penelitian kepustakaan (library research). Surah al-‘Ādiyāt, dari sudut pandang balaghah menyimpan segudang rahasia, yang dapat digolongkan ke dalam uslub yang indah. Demikian juga dari sudut pandang stilistika, walaupun hanya dalam beberapa baris saja, namun elemen-elemen stilistika telah dapat didapatkan dengan indahnya. Orang-orang yang menentang al-Qur’an dari golongan musyrikin atau Ahlil Kitab, secara pelan-pelan dapat ditaklukkan oleh keindahan bahasa al-Qur’an. Inilah salah satu metode dakwah Rasulullah Saw. dengan mengedepankan unsur-unsur keindahan

Essai de visualisation des attitudes des principaux partis politiques belges

The main point developed in this paper is the demonstration of the attitudes characterizing the major Belgian political parties. This is achieved through a factorial analysis applied to a set of data resulting from the answers given by the major parties leaders to various specific questions regarding bath the prevailing economie as well as institutional issues at the eve of the election of December 17th, 1978. From that point it has been possible to compare those results with the one obtained from the data concerning the 1974 programmes.The results of the statistical analysis show that white in 1974 the strongest positive associations between parties corresponded to tht traditional ethical and socioeconomic cleavages, four years later the linguistic dimension was predominant with a stronger homogeneity characterizing the Dutchspeaking group than what could be observed for the Frenchspeaking one.The factorial analysis allows for a graphical representation of the respective positioning of the parties along the statistically significant factorial axes. Applied to two sets of data, the first one on purely institutional matters, the second one on both institutional and economic policies, the analysis reveals clearly through the various graphs presented the linguistic cleavage as well as the divergences about the extent of regional competences and minorities protection, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the degrees of regional economic autonomy and of public intervention in the business life.

THE CATEGORY OF SHEIKH AL-ARABIYA IBN JINNI(392) IN THE LIMIT OF THE LANGUAGE IS A SCIENCE OF MATURITY AND HAS NOT BEEN BURNED

Modern linguistic theory has presented multiple linguistic cognitive problems Including: Langue, Langage and the function of language and its relationship to thought. And based on the fact that language is above all a human phenomenon that can be described and formed We tried to study a linguistic Category of the Arab scholar Ibn Jinni (d.392 AH) in ((The limit of the language is voices that all people express their purposes)), And analyze it according to modern linguistic theories The research is divided into three topics: the idiomatic dimension, the philosophical-linguistic dimension, and the functional dimension represented by: the social function, which is divided into several functions, including: expressive, deliberative, communicative, and is concluded with a conclusion that summarizes the results of the research

Indexing Kiez - Zur Deethnisierung juventulektaler Stile

<p>Monolingual speakers have in the past been less associated with ethnolectal speaking. However, various corpora increasingly show elements that were assigned to Kiez- or Turkic-German - even in monolingual data. In our article we show prominent features of ethnolectal speechstyles by giving three examples, which no longer directly reflect the extra-linguistic dimension <em>ethnicity</em>. In conclusion, we advocate locating the data in the stylespectrum of adolescents, which should indicate a streetcredibility and toughness of the speakers.</p>

Circulation of Knowledge and the Production of Scientific Facts: Proposing an Analytical Trajectory for Texts in Science Education

In this study, considering the interrelationship between epistemology and language, based on the theories of Ludwik Fleck and Mikhail Bakhtin, we propose an analytical trajectory for texts that circulate scientific knowledge. For this, we first give visibility to the way Fleck intertwines the social, the language (and the text) and the epistemological. Then, we present elements of Bakhtin’s philosophy of language that can analytically and theoretically deepen the social-linguistic dimension of textual productions in science. This theoretical articulation, among such authors, is systematized through questions that may enable researchers and Higher Education professors or Basic Education teachers to reflect on the role of the various texts that circulate scientific knowledge. Studying the materiality of the texts that circulate science can contribute to the process of production, incorporation and mediation of readings of such materials in the different teaching-learning contexts of the disciplines of Science Education. It also contributes to the construction of knowledge in the field of research in Science Education.

Two Linguas Francas? Social Inclusion through English and Esperanto

New forms of mobility presuppose a technological factor that frames it as ‘topological proximity,’ regardless of the nature of the mobile agent (human being, robot ware, animal, virus, digital object). The appeal of the so-called linguas francas is especially evident in human beings showing high propensity to move, i.e., motility. They are usually associated with transnational communication in multilingual settings, linguistic justice, and globalization. Paradoxically, such global languages foster mobility, but, at the same time, they may hinder social inclusion in the hosting society, especially for people in mobility. The article compares English as a lingua franca and Esperanto in the European context, putting together the linguistic hierarchy of transnational communication (Gobbo, 2015) and the notion of linguistic unease, used to assess sociolinguistic justice (Iannàccaro, Gobbo, &amp; Dell’Aquila, 2018). The analysis shows that the sense of belonging of their respective speakers influences social inclusion in different ways. More in general, the article frames the linguistic dimension of social inclusion in terms of linguistic ease, proposing a scale suitable for the analysis of European contexts.

The credibility of news media text: The experience of macrostructural analysis

The problem of textual credibility is considered in line with the theory of reference from the standpoint of a text’s grammar. The referential semantics of a text is determined by the type of discourse in which the text is generated. Subsequently, the criteria for credibility are discur sively conditioned. The article reveals the referential aspects of news media text as a “product” of news discourse with its accuracy and objectivity requirements to factually ascertain a message. To describe these characteristics, the concept of referential density of the text is introduced, which is revealed through macrostructural text analysis. The basic definitions of this analysis are provided, its methodology is described and its testing is carried out to explicate the degree of reference density of the text. The key terms of macrostructural analysis are the macro-textual position and the ways of filling it. The main macro-textual positions of the news media text are headline ↔︎ text, compositional-factual, compositional-logical, compositional-syntagmatic relations and stylistic perspective. The different ways of filling these positions reveal different degrees of factuality/interpretability, which can be located on the reference scale in a certain sequence. Scales for each macro-textual position are combined into a referential matrix of the text, graduated in the direction of decreasing reference density/increasing interpretability. Another way to visualize the results of macro-textual analysis is to construct a radar diagram, on which the referential focus of the text is especially evident. Using the example of three news reports of the Russian press, the analysis of the filling of macro-textual positions, of which reveals varying degrees of reference density, three types of referential focus of news media text are demonstrated: concentrated, shifted and diffused. The distinguished types reflect the corresponding referential types of news media text, the referential density of which is a “linguistic dimension” of its credibility.
