Interactional Sociolinguistics

Il presente contributo si focalizza sulle pratiche di salvaguardia e promozione delle varietà linguistiche locali nel quadro del multiculturalismo/multilinguismo italiano che caratterizza la società contemporanea, fornendo un primo bilancio dei risultati e degli effetti della Legge Regionale n° 9 del 31 maggio 2011, "Norme sulla promozione, valorizzazione ed insegnamento della storia, della letteratura e del patrimonio linguistico siciliano nelle scuole". Alla luce di una dialettalità emergente (le cosiddette "risorgenze dialettali"), sono altresì illustrati alcuni esempi di attuazione della suddetta Legge da parte delle istituzioni scolastiche.

This study applies Milroy's Weak Tie Theory to examine the variation of military jargon within the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) at Kaduna NAF Base. It investigates specialised terms and slang usage across social classes, focusing on interactions between military personnel and civilians. A checklist method gathered responses from 87 participants on 18 key lexical items. Findings reveal differing military jargon usage among officers, airmen, and civilians, highlighting a linguistic divide shaped by social connections. Civilians interacting closely with airmen adopt informal military language, showcasing blended communication styles. This research enhances our comprehension of how weak ties among social groups foster linguistic change. By addressing language-related dynamics, this study has practical implications for understanding communication patterns within institutional settings. The findings contribute to the development of effective communication strategies at play in military contexts.

En privilégiant l'approche communicative et interculturelle à visée actionnelle, le CECR bouleverse le concept d'apprentissage scolaire. Du comme si traditionnel de la simulation de l'approche communicative à l'acte socialisé authentique, en prise directe avec la communication sociale dans toute sa complexité et variabilité, les choix didactiques du CECR font évoluer les pratiques de classe en rompant avec le huis-clos de la sphère scolaire. Par l'importance accordée au contexte, à l'autonomie, à la pragmatique, à la finalité sociale, c'est désormais tout l'espace social qui devient territoire d'investigation d'un enseignementapprentissage qui a pour ambition de responsabiliser l'apprenant dans un ensemble d'activités complexes réalisées dans des contextes socio-culturels diversifiés.

Este estudio aborda las relaciones interculturales en el marco de la salud de comunidades indígenas, desde una óptica de Salud Mental.
Problema de investigación: ¿Cómo se caracterizan las relaciones interculturales que se producen con motivo de las acciones tendientes al mejoramiento de la salud comunitaria de las comunidades indígenas wichí y pilagá de la zona de Las Lomitas, provincia de Formosa?
El marco teórico incluye elementos de las cosmovisiones indígenas y conceptos de salud integral.
Se abordó la situación de salud de las comunidades y el trabajo del equipo de APS del hospital local. Se profundizaron la problemática de adicciones, acciones de reclamos por los derechos y el juicio por la Masacre de Rincón Bomba.
Se avanzó en espiral entre teoría y empiria hasta alcanzar la saturación teórica.
Las relaciones interculturales aportan a la salud comunitaria en la medida que el sujeto no indígena presenta la voluntad de reconocer al sujeto indígena y sus valores, mientras que éste ejerce el espíritu comunitario.
El aspecto tangible de las relaciones interculturales positivas involucra la tierra comunitaria, facilitando la relación con la naturaleza propia de estas culturas.
Finalmente, se discutieron los contenidos de la investigación con los actores involucrados en sesiones de retroalimentación.

Ethnography of communication relates ethnography, the description and structural-functional analysis of society and culture, with the 'language'a cultural behaviour that navigates and helps to share knowledge, arts, morals, beliefs and everything acquired by man as a member of society. Ethnography of communication is an approach to understand society & culture and its reconstruction of an ethnic group in particular and nation in general. To do it 'language', designed and structured by pattern of culture, acts as a communicative tool. Language carries and transmits social/cultural traits through generations. The role of speech behavior, one of the aspects of language, has always been significant in cultural anthropological research. Ethnography of Communication, the concept introduced by Del Hymes in late sixties, is an active action of human way of life. He and his associates constructed a model of 'Speaking model' while tried to understand society and culture of an ethnic group through communication process. The present study intends to test Hymes 'Speaking Model' in a set of homogenous speech communitythe academic folk of a department of Anthropology,

It has been established over the years that music has the potential of influencing people psychologically, emotionally, culturally, etc. Often times, this influence usually manifest in people's preference for certain products while engaging in shopping or marketing activities. This paper therefore examines the intersection of music and marketing of selected goods and services in Nigeria with the aim of exploring the significant role which music plays in promoting such products, services, brands, etc. While this is a welcome development in meeting household needs, however, there are notable challenges that are associated with marketing of goods and services in Nigeria in relation to engagement with music. Therefore, this paper examines such challenges and prospects, and also discusses related issues. This paper employs an ethnographic method and analysis of the selected songs chosen for this paper. The findings of the study revealed the significant roles of music in marketing thereby enhancing high demand and consumption of goods and services by consumers at all levels inspite of seemingly challenges involved in the intersection of music and marketing.

Dentro de una optica tradicional del turismo, los movimientos sociales se consideran negativos y que afectan el normal desarrollo de la actividad turistica. Sin embargo, y sin entrar en nuevas alternativas de hacer turismo que han cobrado vigencia en los ultimos anos para determinados segmentos de consumidores, se pueden encontrar, dentro de las Organizaciones de la Economia Social y Solidaria, los casos de las Empresas Recuperadas por sus trabajadores (ERT) del sector. El presente trabajo intenta hacer una contribucion a la mirada que se tiene sobre las organizaciones de la economia social y solidaria dentro del sector turistico, especificamente en el sector hotelero dentro de las (ERT), haciendo foco en el caso del Hotel B.A.U.E.N.

The continuous, excessive use of social media has made the use of English slangs compulsory among today's youth regardless of their background. This research depicts that how social media has been an important source for the spread of English slangs among teenagers and has turned this use of slangs into a trend. The method used for this research is descriptive qualitative method in the form of interview from 2 different participants, one person is an advanced English learning student and the second person is a student with ordinary English education. The result of the finding concludes that although both participants are familiar with common slangs like "omg", "lol", "k", "cool", "lit", "chill", "btw", and "fr", but the context in which they use these common slangs differ. This study also reveals that the presence of slang language is not only a part of social media but also a part of daily school and college conversations. As social media has played a major role in the spread of English slangs, social media users are greatly influenced by Western styles. Despite its differences, English slang is an important part of contemporary linguistic usage, valued for its inclusiveness and flexibility.

Through the re-examination and transcription of the original recordings of Zhao Yuanren’s 1959 lecture series Language Problems, we discovered that, in addition to several discrepancies between the published book Language Problems and the original lectures, there are also eleven lectures and dozens of viewpoints and arguments missing from the published version. These omissions contain important, enlightening, and valuable perspectives and formulations.

Cette étude se plonge dans l'exploration des formes nominales d'adresse en tant qu'éléments dynamiques dans la construction des liens sociaux, en mettant particulièrement l'accent sur leur rôle dans l'expression subtile de la politesse linguistique. Allant au-delà de leur simple fonction nominative, les anthroponymes se révèlent être des instruments subtils de communication, révélant des nuances riches dans les interactions humaines. Les anthroponymes, lorsqu'ils sont employés dans le discours, ne sont pas simplement des désignations neutres, mais ils sont investis de significations sociales et culturelles. Ils peuvent être utilisés de manière stratégique pour établir des relations de proximité, définir des rôles sociaux, ou marquer des distinctions au sein d'un groupe. Mots-clés : les formes nominales d'adresse, la politesse linguistique, les anthroponymes, des relations de proximité, des rôles sociaux

In this article, I analyse the usage of impoliteness as a method of affiliation in instant messaging applications, given the lack of studies on this topic for Spanish. In order to do, I have compiled data and created an online corpus called CODES. The results will be studied, by taking into account the variables of sex and age. The utterances reveal significant differences, not only regarding gender but also the generation. Moreover, the data I have obtained allow for pinpointing the linguistic mechanisms underlying these phenomena.

This thesis, "Accounts of Political and Socio-Economic Development in the Southern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea: A Post-Colonial Reading," critically examines the trajectory of political and socio-economic changes in the Southern Highlands Province within the broader context of Papua New Guinea's post-colonial history. Through a multidisciplinary approach combining political science, anthropology, and development studies, the research analyzes local narratives and official accounts to uncover how colonial legacies have shaped contemporary governance structures and socio-economic conditions. The study highlights the complex interplay between traditional leadership systems and modern state institutions, revealing persistent challenges in political representation, resource management, and development policy implementation. Drawing on qualitative data from interviews, archival sources, and development reports, the thesis exposes the ways in which external developmental paradigms have interacted with indigenous values and practices, often producing unintended consequences. The post-colonial reading foregrounds the agency of local actors in negotiating development agendas, while critiquing dominant discourses that marginalize indigenous knowledge and priorities. Ultimately, the research contributes to a deeper understanding of how historical power dynamics continue to influence the socio-political fabric of the Southern Highlands Province, offering insights relevant for more inclusive and context-sensitive development strategies in Papua New Guinea’s diverse post-colonial landscape.

Presentamos evidencia de un fenómeno contraintuitivo: la cuantificación extrema de textos poéticos, en lugar de disminuir la experiencia estética, puede generar nuevas formas de presencia semántica a través de lo que denominamos resonancia conceptual. Utilizando técnicas avanzadas de medición semántica aplicadas al verso fundacional de Parménides:
ἔστι γὰρ εἶναι, μηδὲν δ' οὐκ ἔστιν
"Pues es el Ser, y la Nada no es"
demostramos que el análisis matemático, cuando se lleva más allá de umbrales convencionales, participa en lugar de meramente representar el significado textual. Nuestros hallazgos sugieren una tercera vía epistemológica entre el cientificismo reductivo y la hermenéutica impresionista, ofreciendo un marco novedoso para las humanidades digitales, la estética computacional y el análisis literario impulsado por IA.

Este artículo explora los desplazamientos migratorios de productores culturales desde Santiago al sur de Chile como una práctica de reinvención del trabajo creativo. Basado en una investigación cualitativa, analizamos los relatos y motivaciones de un conjunto de artistas, intelectuales y trabajadores de sectores creativos. Estas migraciones, conceptualizadas como “migración inversa”, emergen en el contexto de tensiones laborales y personales propias del trabajo creativo; en particular, la segmentación entre trabajo y creatividad, y entre trabajo y vida familiar. La investigación destaca cómo los desplazamientos hacia el sur articulan un ideal de integración vital que contrasta con las condiciones de vida metropolitanas, impulsadas por la búsqueda de una experiencia laboral menos fragmentada. Además, la conexión con el entorno natural sureño permite a estos trabajadores proyectar una relación simbiótica con el paisaje, abordando inquietudes ecológicas y búsquedas espirituales. A la vez, sin embargo, el artículo reconoce las contradicciones inherentes en estas migraciones, donde persisten las dinámicas de hiperproductividad y precarización que caracterizan el trabajo cultural contemporáneo, ahora en un contexto de vida “desconectado”.

The paper aims to describe the main methodological issues in the digitization of the Atlante Linguistico Italiano (ALI), a fundamental resource for dialectological research on the dialects of Italy. Despite its scientific relevance, ALI remains difficult to access due to its printed format and heterogeneous data structure. The project seeks to overcome these limitations by developing a structured, queryable database integrated into a digital cartographic interface. This paper presents the main methodological challenges encountered in the digitization process, including data standardization, phonetic transcription encoding, and georeferencing of linguistic points. The first results highlight the potential of DigitALI for socio-historical research, enabling largescale analyses of dialectal variation. 1 Introduzione 1.1 L'Atlante Linguistico Italiano L'Atlante Linguistico Italiano (ALI) è la seconda impresa atlantistica condotta sul territorio italiano dopo l'AIS (Atlante Italo-Svizzero o Sach-und Sprachatlas Italiens und der Südschweiz, Jaberg/Jud 1928-1940). Con una rete di punti d'inchiesta più che doppia rispetto a quella del primo e un questionario composto da svariate migliaia di domande, rappresenta un progetto di raccolta e di pubblicazione di dati più ampio e ambizioso del suo predecessore. Nato nel 1924 su iniziativa di Matteo Bartoli all'Università di Torino, con la collaborazione di Ugo Pellis e il supporto della Società Filologica Friulana, l'ALI iniziò le inchieste di raccolta di dati sul campo nel 1925 e le terminò nel 1965. Fino al 1942 le inchieste furono condotte da Ugo Pellis; dopo la guerra ripresero nel 1953, sotto la direzione di Benvenuto A. Terracini, con più raccoglitori, attivi principalmente nel centro-sud. La pubblicazione dell'atlante è iniziata nel * Riconoscimenti: Questo lavoro è stato sostenuto da finanziamenti del Ministero dell'Università e della Ricerca italiano e dell'Unione Europea, PE 0000020 CHANGES, -CUP F53C22000700006, D53C22002530006 PNRR Missione 4 Componente 2 Investimento 1.3, finanziato dall'Unione europea -NextGenerationEU. ** L'articolo è frutto di lavoro e riflessioni comuni a tutti gli autori.

uso oral de la lengua se utilizan signos que cumplen diversas funciones, a menudo simultáneas, como son, entre otras, las de marcar la continuidad formal y a veces lógica entre las réplicas, reclamar el turno de palabras, señalar la actitud del hablante en relación con la réplica anterior, etc. Recientemente nos hemos ocupado de analizar las fórmulas y expresiones que tienen como objetivo principal, aunque no en exclusiva, mostrar distintos grados de desacuerdo con respecto a las opiniones emitidas con anterioridad 1 . Nos parecía que este trabajo requería un complemento lógico: el análisis de las formas que se emplean para mostrar una actitud coorientada, de acuerdo, con la réplica precedente. Ello justiñca cuanto a continuación vamos a exponer en esta comunicación. La manifestación de actitudes que hacen evidente la sintonía entre los interlocutores, su complicidad, participación o complacencia en opiniones y sentimientos, se ve frecuentemente subrayada mediante el empleo de determinadas fórmulas, más o menos ritualizadas, que contribuyen a exteriorizar el grado de coincidencia existente. Podemos distinguir, básicamente, tres niveles de integración en la opinión ajena: el reconocimiento del punto de vista del otro, compar-1 «Los elementos de enlace en el discurso: análisis y aplicación a la enseñanza del español como L2», en /// Jornadas sobre aspectos de la enseñanza del español como lengua extranjera, organizadas por el Grupo

En 1990,  el Instituto Argentino de Productividad y Calidad Total  introduce en la Argentina el sistema de Calidad Total, incorporado en ese  año por la agencia de publicidad Lautrec Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi. El mismo resulta de la imitación realizada en Estados Unidos del sistema llamado Toyota, aplicado en la industria automotriz japonesa en los 70s. Los´90 bajo el Mememismo, la apertura de los mercados se introducen al país la importación de servicios de comunicación que impactan en la redefinición de la organización de la producción a partir del pedido del Cliente, reintroducen el control de los procesos de calidad en todas las áreas de la empresa. Estas nuevas organizaciones se articulan con otro de sus ejes principales, las nuevas tecnologías, que se introducen como instrumentos de trabajo más flexibles. 
El sistema Toyota, se conforma así como un nuevo paradigma de racionalidad empresarial que se superpone a los anteriores dando cuenta de nuevas formas de control en el mundo del trabajo bajo la bandera de maximización de ganancias de las empresas.
En un contexto relacional entre tecnología y el trabajo, considerando un concepto de técnica que no se limita a una función instrumental, sino que se extiende a las formas de organización, los métodos de distribución del tiempo, del espacio y en última instancia las formas de poder que subyacen, las formas de saber y los nuevos tipos de sujetos que emergen; la presente Tesina tiene como objetivo analizar el tipo de racionalidad empresarial que subyace a estas estructuras, el concepto de trabajo que instaura y los nuevos modos de distribución del saber y poder que se inscriben en los cuerpos.
Para llevar a cabo la investigación, se recolectaron datos sobre el funcionamiento de la agencia de publicidad Lautrec Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi a partir de entrevistas con el personal, anexándose esto al material teórico correspondiente a la bibliografía y al material aportado por la agencia.
La elección de una agencia de publicidad como objeto de investigación, en general, responde a varios motivos: en principio es una de las nuevas formas de servicio que se impusieron a partir de la crisis del modelo Fordista. Dar cuenta de cómo se organiza una agencia de publicidad a partir de la incorporación del sistema de Calidad Total, supone analizar nuevas estructuras de trabajo que se oponen a la gran fábrica industrial en el marco de una sociedad comunicacional. La reestructuración del sistema de trabajo en una agencia de publicidad nos permite dar cuenta de su inscripción en el campo comunicacional a través del análisis de un  caso. En un contexto donde se redefinen los espacios públicos de la ciudad, priorizándose el consumo en la sociedad informacional en desmedro de la apropiación real de los mismos, las empresas de servicios y  principalmente las publicitarias, adquieren un lugar prioritario en una nueva configuración cultural que tiende a la incentivación consumista.
La publicidad ocupa así, un lugar central en el proceso de pasaje de un régimen de coacción a uno de incentivación consumista regulado por el mercado, dando cuenta de un cambio de paradigma que emerge en el mundo del trabajo.

Parte dos dados que compõem o corpus deste projeto foi utilizada para o presente estudo. A participação de aprendentes chineses de nível primário nas tomadas de decisão em uma sala de aula de PLE 1 The participation of Chinese primary students in classroom decision making during a PFL lesson RESUMO -A sala de aula é um espaço onde o conhecimento é alcançado na interação. Contudo, essa interação nem sempre se dá de forma simétrica. Professores e aprendentes têm diferentes direitos e deveres, o que os fazem desempenhar diferentes papéis durante as aulas. No entanto, mesmo em situações altamente hierárquicas como essas, há sempre um espaço para improvisação e mudanças que alteram a maneira como os participantes interagem. Essas mudanças causam a negociação de papéis institucionalmente impostos e reorganizam o espaço interativo da sala de aula. Neste artigo, discutimos alguns dados coletados de uma aula de Português Língua Estrangeira (PLE) em uma escola luso-chinesa de Macau, sudeste da China. Fazendo uso de uma análise microetnográfi ca, alguns dados momento-a-momento são interpretados, identifi cando aspectos que reorganizam o espaço interativo nas aulas. Os resultados indicam que mesmo sendo a fi gura central da sala de aula, a professora não consegue ter controle total do seu discurso e, por vezes, perde o seu papel de controladora da interação. Vários elementos verbais e não-verbais presentes durante a interação exercem infl uência na reorganização do espaço interativo, possibilitando aos alunos negociarem o poder usualmente delegado somente à professora. Este tipo de participação torna o poder em sala de aula menos centrado no professor, uma vez que não está limitado às regras impostas pelo sistema tradicional de ensino. Ele também desafi a o determinismo social presente em estudos realizados em contextos chineses de ensino-aprendizagem. Palavras-chave: reorganização do espaço interativo, estrutura de participação, português língua estrangeira, aprendentes chineses. ABSTRACT -Classroom is a space where knowledge is acquired in the interaction. However, this interaction is not always symmetric. Teachers and pupils have different rights and obligations, which make them play different roles during the lessons. However, even in very typical hierarchical situations, such as those in institutions, there is always room for improvisation and changes that break the ritual, altering the expected manner by which participants are supposed to interact. These changes cause negotiation of the institutionally imposed roles and reorganize the classroom interactive space. In this article, we discuss data collected from a Portuguese as a Foreign Language (PFL) class in a Luso-Chinese primary school in Macau, southeast China. By using ethnographic microanalysis, moment-by-moment data is interpreted, identifying aspects that reorganize the classroom interactive space. The results indicate that even being the central fi gure of the interaction, the teacher cannot have total control of her discourse and sometimes loses her role of gatekeeper. Many verbal and nonverbal elements present during the interaction exercise infl uence over the (re)organisation of the interactive space, enabling the students to negotiate the power usually delegated only to the teacher. This kind of participation makes power less teacher-centred once it is not limited to the rules imposed by a traditional teaching system. It also casts doubt on the social determinism that is present in studies carried out in Chinese teaching/learning settings.

Hearing interlocutors do not have auditory cues to signal the construction of identity of their Deaf interlocutors. Sign Language Interpreters have an impact on the perception of identity of signing Deaf interactants. The gender of a hearing interpreter plays into the negotiation of identity of signed interlocutors. In alignment with the understandings that the "indirect constitution of identity through language is an interactional process" (Bailey, 2000), and "identity may be ... in part an outcome of interactional negotiation, in part a construct of others' perceptions and representations" (Bucholtz & Hall, 2005), and beliefs about identity are "informed by a framework of ideas about language and about the kinds of people who speak in certain ways,  (Irvine ,1989). The gender of the voice that hearing interlocutors listen to in sign language interpreted interactions carries with it social meanings that constitute the perceived identity of interpreted Deaf interactants.

The importance of the listening skill in daily communication determines its crucial role in foreign language learning. Most English as a foreign language (EFL) learners seek to imitate native speakers. One way to provide real language listening practice is to implement authentic aural materials in EFL classrooms. The fundamental purpose of this study is to examine the influences of aural authentic materials on listening comprehension in EFL learners. The secondary purposes of the study are to identify the potential problems that EFL learners often face when listening to the target language and to determine the effects of authentic materials on the learners' attitudes towards learning English in English for General Purposes (EGP) class. To achieve our aims, we adopted the analytic method; the learners' questionnaire is analysed in addition to some notes that were taken from the discussion while learners were responding to the questionnaire. The learners involved in the present study enrolled in a twenty-week listening and speaking training. The analysis of the questionnaire revealed that the use of authentic listening materials in EFL classrooms helped increase the learners' listening comprehension ability. Hence, implementing authentic materials in EFL classrooms is a crucial technique for improving learners' listening comprehension.

In 2020, we initiated a participatory action research project focused on understanding the role of language in perpetuating inequality and addressing language-related injustices. We implemented a longitudinal conscientization process at a public university in Madrid, inspired by Freire's philosophy of education and framed within the nationalist linguistic conflict in Spain. The article examines ethnographic and recorded interactive data from an intercomprehension (i.e., mutual understanding) workshop in 2022. The dominant sociolinguistic order favors Spanish as the "common language" throughout the state, and diverging practices tend to be socially punished. A territorial linguistic principle and hegemonic practices contribute to the maintenance of certain citizen privileges and to the marginalization of other languages and their speakers. Participants worked in groups to explore practices of intercomprehension, discuss the fairness of Spanish language dominance, and critically reflect on linguistic concepts and ideologies. Building on a participation framework and an analysis of power dynamics, our interactional analysis illustrates how transformative agency is activated, constructed, and negotiated through classroom activities and researcher-participant interactions through the consideration of the habitus, social position and social field. It enriches the understanding of the operation of transformative agency through its interrelated dimensions: reflexive, situated, interactional, distributed, and negotiated. Within the interaction, we also examine the shift in our role as researchers. Finally, this article contributes to the evolving understanding of language policy as both an instrument of power and a socially embedded practice, highlighting the potential of participatory pedagogy to promote sociolinguistic justice and create pathways for systemic change.

There seems to be no end in sight for the practice of nicknaming amongst students. To address the nicknaming practice, it requires a better appreciation and understanding of the practice and its effects on the nicknamers. This study set out to fulfil this agenda. The study adopted descriptive survey design and used senior high school students as subjects. Semi-structured questionnaire was used to gather data for the study. The practice of nicknaming is still popular in the post modern world. Results of the study show a high prevalence (77.2%) of the practice among students with boys leading the practice. A disproportionate chunk of the male students (88.5%) had nicknames. It also emerged that negative nicknames have some psychological effects on the bearers which consequently discouraged them from active participation in class. There is, therefore, no gain saying that instructors ought to discourage students from this practice as it has the tendency to suppress and stifle students' participation in academic work. The implications of this development, certainly, are far-reaching and that educators' continuous entertainment of this practice is an indictment on their professionalism.

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo presentar un estudio sobre el uso de la partícula 了 le en chino moderno. Debido a las características morfológicas del chino, los verbos carecen de morfemas que expresen tiempo, persona, número, aspecto, modo. Por esta razón, para varios estudiosos de la gramática del chino, la partícula 了 le funciona en chino moderno como sufijo aspectual que expresa perfectividad. Sin embargo, la función de 了 le no se limita a expresar el aspecto perfectivo del verbo sino también es un elemento que afecta a toda la oración en su conjunto. Así pues, en este trabajo propongo que no sólo hay que tomar en cuenta los rasgos sintácticos de esta partícula, sino que también hay que considerar su función en el plano comunicativo y semántico. Para realizar esta prueba, se obtuvieron muestras en chino moderno que forman parte de un discurso y no son oraciones aisladas ni descontextualizadas. Estas muestras provienen de dos textos. El primer texto es el cuento 梁 山伯与祝英台 Liáng Shānbó yǔ Zhù Yīngtái 'Liang Shanbo y Zhu Yingtai'. El segundo texto consiste en el discurso del gobierno de la República Popular de China titulado 改革开 放 30 年与中国发展 gǎigé kāifàng 30 nián yǔ Zhōngguó fāzhǎn 'Los 30 años de la política de Reforma y Apertura y el desarrollo de China'. Los casos que encontramos donde se usa la partícula 了 le demuestran que el significado del verbo, los complementos y el punto de vista del emisor son factores que determinan la presencia o ausencia de 了 le. Asimismo, debido a que utilizamos dos textos de diferente género, el uso de 了 le también es distinto en cada género.

Ett av många ansvarsområden som en uppsatshandledare har handlar om att möjliggöra och öppna för studentens självständighet. Självständighet knyts i den här undersökningen till studentens delaktighet i handledningssamtalen, och i det sammanhanget är handledarens frågor till studenten centrala. Syftet är därför att undersöka hur handledarna genom ställandet av frågor öppnar för och möjliggör studentens självständighet. Åtta olika handledarsamtal från två utbildningsprogram analyseras utifrån vilka frågor som ställs, och vilka av dessa frågor som öppnar för och möjliggör självständighet. Tre typer av frågor identifieras som särskilt centrala i handledningssamtalen; öppnande och överlämnande frågor, utvecklande och fördjupande frågor samt utmanande och problematiserande frågor. Variationen mellan samtal och handledare visar sig dock vara stor och det visar sig också finnas skillnader i vilken typ av delaktighet som skapas med hjälp av frågorna. 

Based on recent discussions on language and decoloniality and employing an ethnographic approach, this article examines a teacher education program in "primary intercultural education" at a public university in the Southern Peruvian Andes, in a context with a majority Quechuaspeaking population and youth with diverse bilingual trajectories. The goal of this article is to complexify the categories of coloniality and decoloniality of language by studying a reflection-based action conducted by grassroots Quechua activists and teacher educators, which involves developing an academic Quechua register with the aim of empowering students as authors of their texts in the Indigenous language. These activists assume their intervention as a decolonial and critical strategy to neutralize hierarchies with respect to the oppression of the Spanish language, deracialize mother tongue education, and incorporate a social justice approach to counteract a depoliticized view of interculturalism. However, simultaneously, these activists promote a neat, autonomous, and disembodied Quechua; disfavor translanguaging practices; and erase the signifier of bilingualism, reproducing the coloniality of language and disempowering many of the students. These results confirm the need for further cycles of critical reflection when developing reflection-based actions.

The volatile state of wetlands in the anthropocentric era has been regarded as a major environmental threat to man and animal life. Wetlands are basically vast areas, periodically submerged in shallow water which support crucial ecological activities essential for sustaining biodiversity. However, in the anthropocentric era, the cumulative impact of harmful human activities poses an unprecedented threat to these ecosystems. One of the policy documents which addresses such threats by calling for a collective effort to slow wetland degradation is the Ramsar's Handbook on National Wetland Policy (4 th edition, 2010). This study critically examines the linguistic strategies of framing and metaphor as used in the policy document. To achieve this objective, a qualitative content analysis was adopted to identify and analyze metaphors and frames, and analyze the underlying meanings, patterns and implications. The study focused on the entire 64-page policy document which was obtained in PDF format from the official environmental agency websites to ensure authenticity. A purposive sampling technique was used to select pages of sections from the document. The analysis was anchored on Stibbe's (2015) Framework of Frames and Metaphors, which focuses on identifying how language construct meaning and influences attitudes toward ecological issues. The finding revealed that the policy document effectively employs frames and metaphors to convey the significance of wetlands and motivate action against degradation. The findings reveal that certain linguistic texts in ecological discourses not only shape perceptions but also drive societal engagement. Eco-linguistic studies help to highlight the role of language in shaping ecological discourses and demonstrating how meaning is conveyed in language especially within policy documents.

A hallmark of sociolinguistic research is its careful attention to various forms of linguistic heterogeneity on the one hand, and a consideration of the political implications of this heterogeneity on the other. For nearly four decades, John R. Rickford has been a leading scholar on each of these fronts. Rickford’s vast body of work demonstrates a consistent commitment to the interrogation of assumptions about the presence, absence, and nature of linguistic heterogeneity. Insofar as heterogeneity is synonymous with diversity, it is important to consider the relationship between sociolinguistic heterogeneity and public debates about diversity within a globalized and continually globalizing world. By challenging attributions of communicative deficiency on multiple fronts, Rickford’s work teaches us the importance of developing a critical stance toward questions about the relationship between sociolinguistic structures and broader structures of inequality.

This paper emphasises the practical use of argot in social interactions. Argot, often known as jargon, is an intriguing field of study in sociolinguistics because it emphasises the dynamic interaction of language, culture, and certain social groupings. It serves as a specialised vocabulary (expressions) mixed with different local languages used by specific groups to communicate with each other, often excluding people who are not part of it. This can cover professional activities or hobbies with the aim of connecting different social groups.

Dans le cadre de cette étude expérimentale, nous sommes partis du principe que la différence trouvée par Kidd et Castano (2013) entre l&#39;impact de la lecture d&#39;une fiction populaire vs. littéraire sur la mesure d&#39;empathie correspondait à une réalité. De plus, nous nous sommes intéressés aux résultats de Costa et son équipe selon lesquels la présentation d&#39;un problème dans la langue seconde incite les participants à privilégier des réponses rationnelles ou logiques, bien plus que ne le fait la présentation dans la langue maternelle. Nous présentons ici les résultats de deux expériences que nous avons fait passer à des participants italiens et français. Pour tester nos hypothèses nous avons construit deux versions de la nouvelle de Camus, La femme adultère, l&#39;une qui augmentait l&#39;expression de la subjectivité dans le texte (version subjective), l&#39;autre qui la réduisait (version objective). Nous avons soumis ces deux versions du texte de Camus à différents gr...

This statement is such a cliché. But as I reflect on my six years here at UH, I cannot help but feel tremendously fortunate, and so grateful, that I have had such strong support from each of the committee members. More than my profound respect for their academic expertise in their respective fields is my admiration for their passion and dedication for teaching and mentorship. I am thankful to have learned from all of them about the kind of person I would like to one day be for my students. I would also like to thank Chulalongkorn University Language Institute, who had provided financial security for me during the first four years of my education here, and also for allowing me the time away from my teaching responsibility to pursue this personal and academic growth. This dissertation was also possible thanks to the generous funds from Small Grants for Doctoral Research in Second or Foreign Language Assessment from ETS. Their support was essential during the data collections of this study. Finally, I would like to thank my parents, my family, my husband and my friends for all their unconditional love, support, reassurance, and encouragement.

Discourses via social networks have been widely used by politicians, who often apply ideological bias in different ways depending on their interests. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the Representation of Social Actors in the speech of Jair Messias Bolsonaro, and to verify if changes in these representations occur in the periods before and after being elected. The current Brazilian president's tweets are used as corpora, the first one comprising of 111 tweets published on Bolsonaro's official Twitter, between October 8 to 27, 2018, the pre-campaign period for the second round of Brazilian elections. The second one comprises 83 tweets, from August 8 to 27, 2019, a period in which the candidate already held the position of President of the Republic. The theoretical contribution consists mainly of Fairclough studies within Critical Discourse Analysis, complemented by Foucault (2012) and Charaudeau (2010). Results point to changes in the president's speech in most of the analyzed occurrences.

Argumentative events are central and common in peer talk at preschool as they provide differential affordances at the social, conversational and intellectual level. Children construct their arguments drawn on a range of linguistic resources. In this study, we claim that some of these linguistic resources are associated with literacy, specifically to the principle of distancing. This principle emerges on a continuum, comprising reflective comments on language as well as additional and subtle ways of achieving distancing, such as avoiding personalization. We conducted a qualitative analysis of selected argumentative events in peer talk, combining ethnographic with discourse analysis methods, and highlighted the unplanned and unrehearsed ways in which this principle occurs while it fulfills children's argumentative goals. The analysis of the relation between the literacy-related principle of distancing and the pragmatic functions it serves in the course of argumentative events; will contribute to the conceptualization of literacy in conversational contexts of natural peer talk.

Language is a vital tool for communication, identity, and social organization, especially within Nigeria's multilingual and multicultural landscape. This paper explores the significance and implications of language in development communication in Nigeria, highlighting how linguistic diversity both enhances and challenges effective message delivery. Drawing on the Diffusion of Innovations Theory, the study shows the role of language in facilitating awareness, persuasion, and behavioral change in sectors such as health, education, agriculture, and climate resilience. Through qualitative analysis of secondary sources, the research shows that indigenous and local languages improve comprehension, trust, and participation, particularly among rural and marginalized populations. Case studies from development campaigns, ranging from COVID-19 health messaging to agricultural extension and climate change education, demonstrate that multilingual strategies increase public engagement and development outcomes. However, challenges such as audience fragmentation, language hierarchy, and policy inconsistency limit their impact. The paper concludes that leveraging Nigeria's linguistic resources through inclusive language policies, mother-tongue education, and digital media localization can bridge communication gaps and strengthen national development efforts.

Critical trends in discourse analysis emphasise the connection between discourse and social structure. They locate the critical dimension of analysis in the interplay between discourse and society, and suggest ways in which features of social structure need to be treated as con text in discourse analysis. For instance, in analysing doctor-patient interaction, the facts that one participant is a doctor and another is a patient, and that this interaction consequently develops in an institutional environment, are crucial elements in understanding the power balance in that interaction. There will be a particular power dynamic because one is a doctor and another is a patient, and because this turns the particular interaction into an instance of an institution alised genre. Critical analysis is thus always and necessarily the an alysis of situated, contextualised, language, and context itself becomes a crucial methodological and theoretical issue in the development of a critical study of language. There is a vast and significant literature on context (see, for exam ple, Auer and Di Luzio, 1992; Duranti and Goodwin 1992; Auer 1995), and the most general way of summarising it is to say that it addresses the way in which linguistic forns -'text' -become part of, get inte grated in, or become constitutive of larger activities in the social World (see also Scollon 2001). o some extent, this is self-evident: lan guage is always produced by someone to someone else, at a particula time and place, with a purpose and so forth. But, given the history of linguistics as the study of an object defined as necessarily non Contextual and autonomous, attention to the context-sensitive dimen S1ons of language was something that required substantial argument. We are beyond such arguments now, fortunately, and we can turn to a whole complex of approaches to text-context relations. We can now accept without having to go into detailed discusion that the way in sounds selfevident, but it is not, it has considerable implications. In order to clarify this, I need to start from John Gumperz's (1982Gumperz's ( , 1992) ) seminal concept of 'contextualisation'. Contextualisation 'comprises all activities by participants which make relevant, maintain, revise, cancel any aspect of context which, in turn, is responsible for the interpretation of an utterance in its particular locus of occurrence' (Auer 1992: 4). Gumperz developed the notion of contextualisation to account for the ways in which people 'make sense' in interactions and, taking on board both broad ethnographic concerns as well as narrower conversation-analytic ones, he observed that people pick up quite a few "unsaid' meanings in such interaction. These are the indexical meanings mentioned in chapter 1: the connections between language form and social and cultural patterns. People detect these indexical meanings because speakers provide verbal and nonverbal, behavioural 'cues' that suggest a fit between utterances and contextual spaces in which they become meaningful: argue that conversational interpretation is cued by empirically detectable signs, contextualization cues, and that the recognition of what these signs are, how they relate to grammatical signs, how they draw on socio-cultural knowledge and how they affect understanding, is essential for creating and sustaining conversational involvement and therefore to communication as such. (Gumperz 1992: 42) The pivot of this process is the utterance itself: 'it is the linguistic form itself which serves to signal the shift in the interaction ' (1992: 43). And the target of contextualisation consists of complexes of presupposable knowledge in which utterances are made coherent (contextualised): it ultimately rests on all understanding is framed understanding, contingent inferences made with respect to presuppositions concerning the nature of the situation, what is to be acconmplished and how it is to be accomplished. (1992: 43-44) Such forms of framing are linguistic and cognitive, to be sure, but also eminently social and cultural. They have a perduring, conventional, normative character: 'we can speak of systems of contextualization con ventions in terms of which individual cues are related.' (1992: 51, italics added). Relatively little work on interaction has focused on this systemic dimension of contextualisation, most analysts having concentrated their efforts on analyses of the contingent conversational deployment of contextualisation practices (but see Gumperz 2003; Eerdmans 2003: I should also note that systemic aspects of contextualisation are cen tral in poetics' as conceived by Jakobson 1960

This document presents a structured theological outline exploring the identity, mission, fall, and ultimate restoration of the Archangel—traditionally identified as Lucifer or Satan—within the context of God’s providence. Drawing from Unificationist thought, scriptural reflection, and personal spiritual experience, the framework proposes that the Archangel’s healing is not only possible but essential to the fulfillment of God’s original ideal. The outline addresses doctrinal misunderstandings, the emotional and spiritual dimensions of the Archangel’s journey, and the necessity of his cooperation in the providence of restoration. This work is offered as a preliminary framework for further study, dialogue, and development.

The research contains a lifelike description of climate change representation in the literature or literary genres. The world is changing geographically, politically, and economically. Realistically, all the events and crises of climate change that occur in the world through an unexpected or unprecedented period on the regional or global level. The climate change crisis plays a prominent role in the world and its effects will go on to the future. Therefore, tackling the climate change phenomenon has been represented in literary genres such as novels, dramas, poetry, and poems and so forth. This research discusses the climate change representation in English and Arabic literature. It then seeks to evaluate the importance of the role of English and Arabic literature and the literary voices such as authors, writers, novels and plays in confronting climate change crisis today. It also pays attention to evaluate the critical studies that represent climate change in English and Arabic literature. The research explores the intricacy of climate change representation in English and Arabic literature as an intricate phenomenon scientifically and culturally in literature. When novelists, playwrights, authors, thinkers, writers, and creators are interested in representing the climate change phenomenon as a scientifically and culturally intricate and debatable phenomenon in literary works, they will seek with interest to represent nature or the environment in literary works as a practical framework and try to explore its effects on Novels or dramas, and produce realistic narration methods and cultural and scientific innovations in depictions. This study also urges writers and authors to do what they do best to present audible literary voices raised to the world for understanding and portraying the climate change crisis and strive to represent it in literary works.

In recent decades, the rise of right-wing populism has transformed the global political landscape, challenging traditional democratic structures and international norms on human rights and gender equality. This research examines three populist leaders: Javier Milei, Donald Trump and Narendra Modi instrumentalize gender narratives to consolidate power, eroding the rights of women and queer communities. Through a feminist and intersectional theoretical framework, it analyses their anti-gender rhetoric, regressive policies, and performances of masculinity, highlighting their impact on global governance. The case studies reveal transnational patterns and the resilience of feminist resistance movements. The study employs a theoretical framework that integrates feminist International Relations theories, critical gender studies, and populism research.

In a time of accelerating chaos—environmental, spiritual, and technological—The Light Bearers’ Task calls humanity back to its original vocation: to restore order, not through domination, but stewardship. This essay explores the metaphysical implications of entropy, the forgotten blueprint of Edenic responsibility, and the redemptive potential of technology when aligned with divine purpose. With lyrical insight and prophetic urgency, the author weaves personal narrative, theological reflection, and cosmic perspective into a manifesto for negentropy—the reversal of decay through love, clarity, and holy restraint. From sandwich metaphors to tales of jet collisions and extraterrestrial watchers, the piece reorients readers toward light: not only as energy, but as moral and spiritual truth. A call to tenderness, vigilance, and unified awakening pulses through every section—positioning this work not as philosophical speculation, but as spiritual architecture.
