This research aimed to find out the types of expressive speech acts and the context of the expressive speech acts uttered by the main character in the Joker movie. The design of the research was ...descriptive qualitative research. The data source was the Joker Movie directed by Todd Phillips. The movie was released in 2019 and its duration was about 1 hour 55 minutes. The data of this research were utterances included as expressive speech acts. The data were collected by watching, observing, and writing down the utterances indicated as expressive speech acts found in the movie. The data were analyzed by using formal and informal methods. The data were presented by using a table (Formal method) and description (Informal method). The contexts of the utterances were analyzed by using SPEAKING model. The results of the analysis showed that there were six classifications of expressive speech acts uttered by the main character in the Joker Movie. The total number of expressive speech acts found in the movie was 27 utterances covering 7 utterances of greeting, 6 utterances of agreeing, 5 utterances of thanking, 4 utterances of apologizing, 3 utterances of wishing, and 2 utterances of exclamation. The researcher found that the expressive speech act of greeting was the most frequently used by the main character. It showed that the main character liked to express his salutation when he met someone.
In the constructed habitat in which we spend up to 90% of our time, architectural design influences occupants' behavioral patterns, interactions with objects, surfaces, rituals, the outside ...environment, and each other. Within this built environment, human behavior and building design contribute to the accrual and dispersal of microorganisms; it is a collection of fomites that transfer microorganisms; reservoirs that collect biomass; structures that induce human or air movement patterns; and space types that encourage proximity or isolation between humans whose personal microbial clouds disperse cells into buildings. There have been recent calls to incorporate building microbiology into occupant health and exposure research and standards, yet the built environment is largely viewed as a repository for microorganisms which are to be eliminated, instead of a habitat which is inexorably linked to the microbial influences of building inhabitants. Health sectors have re-evaluated the role of microorganisms in health, incorporating microorganisms into prevention and treatment protocols, yet no paradigm shift has occurred with respect to microbiology of the built environment, despite calls to do so. Technological and logistical constraints often preclude our ability to link health outcomes to indoor microbiology, yet sufficient study exists to inform the theory and implementation of the next era of research and intervention in the built environment. This review presents built environment characteristics in relation to human health and disease, explores some of the current experimental strategies and interventions which explore health in the built environment, and discusses an emerging model for fostering indoor microbiology rather than fearing it.

The article places emphasis on the latest advancements in this field, particularly focusing on indoor and outdoor microplastic (MP) pollution, including their emission, behaviour and potential health ...hazards. Gaining an in-depth understanding of these factors is crucial for devising effective strategies to mitigate the impact of microplastics (MPs) on human health and the environment. Indoor MP abundance is generally higher than outdoor levels, with textiles serving as a primary source of indoor airborne MPs. Traffic-derived MP particles, MP fibres in residential areas, agricultural plastic mulch, marine MPs and landfill sites appear to be contributors to outdoor atmospheric MP pollution. Factors such as wind direction, wind speed, precipitation and snowfall, along with the physical characteristics and secondary suspension of MPs, collectively influence their behaviour, distribution and fate. Inhalation and ingestion constitute the main exposure pathways for airborne MPs, potentially leading to health issues like respiratory inflammation. Therefore, gaining a deeper insight into the behaviour and impact mechanisms of atmospheric MPs aids in formulating effective risk management strategies to safeguard human health and maintain environmental sustainability.

Scientists, philosophers, and other researchers commonly assert their theories. This is surprising, as there are good reasons for skepticism about theories in cutting‐edge research. I propose a new ...account of assertion in research contexts that vindicates these assertions. This account appeals to a distinct propositional attitude called endorsement, which is the rational attitude of committed advocacy researchers have to their theories. The account also appeals to a theory of conversational pragmatics known as the Question Under Discussion model, or QUD. Hence, I call the theory the EQUD model. Motivating this account is a recognition that the speech act of assertion has two roles to play in research contexts. The first is the advocacy role, in which researchers assert a theory in order to advocate for it. The second is the evidential role, which is used to add to the common stock of information available to a field of inquiry. The EQUD model provides an account of warranted assertion for both these roles in research contexts. This success provides support for the theory of endorsement. It also provides support for information updating accounts of assertion.

Academic blogs are becoming increasingly frequent, visible and important in both disciplinary and ‘outreach’ communication, offering a space for scholars and interested publics to discuss and ...evaluate research. Like the more traditional book review, blog responses require writers to engage and assess the ideas presented in another, public, text, but bloggers face criticism from both lay and academic readers in ways that may be unfamiliar to them. In this paper we consider how far blog responses are an ‘academic review genre’ like the familiar book review, and compare how writers construct criticism in the two genres. Based on two corpora of 36 book reviews and 270 blog comments, we examine the frequency, form and focus of criticism exploring how the constraints and affordances of each genre contribute to very different evaluative contexts. We show that the medium has a significant impact on the strategies writers use and that blog comments both reflect the directness and informality of online communication while respecting some of the conventions of academic engagement. The results contribute to our understanding of how context influences rhetorical choices and may be valuable to those participating in both blogs and review genres.
•We focus on how criticism is construed in two ‘academic review genres’: blog comments and book reviews.•Targets of criticism, critical acts and mitigation devices are analysed.•Medium has a significant impact on writers' interactive strategies.•Blog commenters are more critical, more personal and criticise more targets.•Comments reflect online directness and informality but respect some academic conventions.

The paper analyzes the legal regulation of the limits of public authority discretion in territorial planning and urban development zoning of municipal entities, defines the limits of judicial control ...over bills issued by the relevant authorities. Due to comparative legal method we determine that the common feature for Great Britain, Germany and Russia is rather a broad discretion of authorized bodies in doctrine and practice as for planning, which, however, does not exclude control over issued planning acts. In Russia the powers of the bodies regarding preparation and approval of the documents of territorial planning and urban zoning of municipal entities are of discretionary nature. When issuing such acts, the body exercises the freedom of discretion, resulting from the lack and impossibility to define all legal conditions to adopt planning acts. It is noted that the decisions of public authorities, which enact these documents are the variation of discretional planning acts. In comparison to the practice of the Supreme Court of Russia and the courts of general jurisdiction, the local governing body has a broader discretion in regards of the discussed issues. Discretionary nature of such acts does not exclude evaluation of the limits of body’s discretion. The paper concludes that the restrictions of the directorate of the body, while issuing acts of territorial planning and urban development zoning of municipal entities and the possibility of their judicial review are due to the requirements to ground the adopted act by the body, as well as the restrictions of the powers of the body that issued the act. In Russia, the mentioned requirements are partly formalized in the legislation, some of them became judicial practice. Generalized judicial practice demonstrates that acts of territorial planning and urban development zoning of municipal entities result from the requirement to justify the adopted city design and the pursuit of the public goal by the body issuing the act. Normal judicial control of such decisions includes evaluation of the act from the point of legality. In some disputes, courts build their arguments based on the principles of legal certainty, proportionality and trust defense.
In this paper I further develop a philosophy of technology for law and the rule of law, more specifi cally for the role of territorial jurisdiction in the protection against crime and against ...arbitrary use of the ius puniendi. In the face of the code- and data-driven nature of cyberspace I will discuss modern positive law as based on a text-driven jurisdiction and the main argument of the paper is that we cannot take for granted that the kind of legal protection that is offered by a text-driven criminal jurisdiction will hold in the context of cyberspatial challenges. In the fi rst section, I investigate how modern positive law-as-we-know-it was triggered by the technologies of cartography and the printing press, arguing that both modern democracy and the rule of law are affordances of these technologies, as they enabled the rise of an exclusive, monopolistic territorial jurisdiction. In the second section, I explore the scope of written legal speech acts, integrating speech act theory and philosophy of technology, explaining how the substantive and procedural principles of criminal law legality depend on the performative effect of written legal speech acts, highlighting their connection with the rise of territorial jurisdiction and the creation of an artifi cial, modern demos. In the third section, I discuss the new challenges of competing territorial jurisdictions that claim legal powers outside their territory, coupled by the challenges posed by new types of ‘brute jurisdictions’ that are based on the force of technological infrastructures that may overrule the performative effect of written legal speech acts. In the conclusions I call for keen attention to which affordances of cartography and the printing press we need to preserve in cyberspace to uphold criminal law principles such as the presumption of innocence, the right to a fair trial and the legality principle, taking note that preservation will require reinvention and imagination rather than taking for granted the mode of existence of text-driven jurisdiction.
The coordination of visual attention among social partners is central to many components of human behavior and human development. Previous research has focused on one pathway to the coordination of ...looking behavior by social partners, gaze following. The extant evidence shows that even very young infants follow the direction of another's gaze but they do so only in highly constrained spatial contexts because gaze direction is not a spatially precise cue as to the visual target and not easily used in spatially complex social interactions. Our findings, derived from the moment-to-moment tracking of eye gaze of one-year-olds and their parents as they actively played with toys, provide evidence for an alternative pathway, through the coordination of hands and eyes in goal-directed action. In goal-directed actions, the hands and eyes of the actor are tightly coordinated both temporally and spatially, and thus, in contexts including manual engagement with objects, hand movements and eye movements provide redundant information about where the eyes are looking. Our findings show that one-year-olds rarely look to the parent's face and eyes in these contexts but rather infants and parents coordinate looking behavior without gaze following by attending to objects held by the self or the social partner. This pathway, through eye-hand coupling, leads to coordinated joint switches in visual attention and to an overall high rate of looking at the same object at the same time, and may be the dominant pathway through which physically active toddlers align their looking behavior with a social partner.

This paper analyzes impoliteness-related language in response to a season's greeting posted by the Prime Ministers of Spain and the UK on December 2022 to wish Twitter users a Felices Fiestas/Merry ...Christmas. A corpus made up of the first 500 tweet events mentioning Sánchez and Johnson with the @ feature was analyzed through the combination of qualitative and quantitative tools and an impoliteness2 approach to compare the most commonly deployed impoliteness strategies in response to what is felt as an offense by respondents from the two cultures. Previous impoliteness taxonomies inform the analysis (Culpeper, 1996, 2011). Findings reveal a preference for on-record strategies vs. off-record ones in both corpora. Whereas the English respondents oriented themselves towards attacking the negative face of the Prime Minister and that of other participants with sarcasm and implicated impoliteness, the Spanish group deployed impoliteness-related language to disparage the Prime Minister's positive face through insults and the rectification of his words. The hostile acts and explicit metalanguage about emotional states in the replies to the expressive speech act corroborate the perceived breach of some aspects of the moral order on the part of the Twitter users in the out-group, hence aiding the already observed polarization of political discussions.
•Impoliteness is analyzed in replies to the season's greetings of Pedro Sánchez and Boris Johnson on Twitter.•Findings indicate that on-record impoliteness strategies are more frequent than off-record ones in both groups.•English respondents use negative-face attacking strategies, sarcasm, and implicated impoliteness in their replies.•Spanish respondents deploy insults and attacks on the positive public face of the Prime Minister as favored strategies.•Impoliteness-related discourse is multifunctional and aims to restore the moral order that is perceived as altered.

This paper examines the ways in which group speech acts involve speakers. Against the view that groups need spokespeople speak for (or on behalf of, or in the name of) them, I argue that groups can ...speak for themselves. Group speech acts are a special type of joint intentional action. Groups speak when they express their illocutionary intention. Group illocutionary intentions are collective intentions of their members, and they are collective in virtue of the members' plural pre-reflective self-knowledge of what it is they – together – want to say. It is only in virtue of the groups’ ability to speak for themselves that they can authorize individual spokespeople to speak for them.1
