Politeness is a key means by which we maintain interpersonal relationships. This book is the first comprehensive study of politeness in Finnish. Based on linguistic and pragmatic research, the book ...spans three parts. The first part is theoretical and historical, summarising three waves of politeness research, describing politeness as a cultural and historical phenomenon. The second part is empirical, providing an example of the study of im/politeness from outsiders’ perspectives—that, is French people living in Finland and Finns living or having lived in France. The focus group discussions ranged from definitions of politeness and differences of behaviour, to learning and teaching as well as to changes to politeness norms within society. The third part summarises the conclusions and offers an epilogue. This reader-friendly book includes exercises and recommended readings, and is welcomed by researchers and students working on politeness and, more broadly, relational work.

Beppe Fenoglio’s novel Una questione privata (Garzanti, 1963; Einaudi, 1978) is written in a more “traditional” language with regard to the Fenoglio canon (characterized by English grammatical ...structures and words) and constitutes an emblematic case in terms of thematic similarity to Spanish history that could have sustained a synchronic translation with reference to its year of publication. This article aims to investigate the translational choices by Elena del Amo (Un asunto privado Ediciones Barataira, 2004).
Este trabajo busca analizar la relación entre performatividad y lenguaje del odio, a partir de los argumentos de la subordinación y el silenciamiento que desarrollan MacKinnon y Butler. Para este ...objetivo, se estudiarán los conceptos de las teorías de los actos de habla, en especial, las nociones de expresiones y declaraciones -Searle-, de hechos institucionales -Searle- y de comunidad como consenso -Habermas-. El análisis de estos conceptos se aplicará a algunos casos de lenguaje del odio y/o lenguaje simbólico.
Tom Petty’s songs are among the most recognized and influential in rock music. One aspect of Petty’s songs that contributes to his popularity is his use of language in his lyrics. The current study ...performed two sets of analyses: (a) to examine linguistic features of Petty’s song lyrics over the course of his songwriting career; and (b) to investigate similarities and differences between Petty’s lyrics and the earlier and contemporaneous lyrics of an artist widely assumed to have influenced him, Bob Dylan. Results of analyses using a standard textual program, Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (LIWC), showed that Petty reduced his references to social relations and reduced his focus on future time orientations over his songwriting career. There were also rises and declines in expressions of authenticity as well as increases in analytical thinking. In analyses comparing Petty to Dylan using a time-lagged approach, Petty’s songs remained shorter in number of words than Dylan’s songs and there was an increase in indicators of analytical thinking in Petty’s later work reaching levels that are characteristic of Dylan’s songs. Further research is needed to trace the influences on prolific songwriting and other aspects of music beyond lyrical expression.
El artículo desarrolla el procedimiento de análisis de las posiciones discursivas, tal como se describe en el Análisis Sociológico del Discurso de corte sociohermenéutico. Partiendo de la necesidad ...de una mayor sistematización de las operaciones analíticas que guían el análisis sociológico del discurso, se desarrolla una propuesta de concepción teórica y metodológica. Se aborda la noción del contexto y su papel en el análisis de las posiciones discursivas, así como la conceptualización de estas mediante la noción de uso del lenguaje. Finalmente, con el apoyo de las teorías polifónicas del lenguaje, se propone un procedimiento de análisis de las posiciones discursivas con validez metodológica para la investigación empírica. Se constata que las posiciones discursivas son un potente objeto de análisis para dilucidar la pluralidad enunciativa de todo discurso y las relaciones con sus distintas ligaduras sociales.
Suicide represents a public health issue that requires new preventive strategies. Therefore, this study analyzes differences in language use between a themed posts group (suicide and depression) and ...a random posts group (non-specific topics) from different social media platforms. In addition, the similarity of the texts of themed posts group with the set of phrases linked to suicide risk factors is analyzed. Texts were processed using the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) software. A 95% bootstrap confidence interval (CI) was built for the difference in means for the resulting values per word category across groups. Significant differences in the use of language were observed between the themed post group and the random post group, whereas no differences were found between the themed post group and the set of phrases linked to suicide risk factors. These results can contribute to the development of risk-detection tools, which identify users at risk based on the analysis of language use embedded in social media. Such opportune detection would significantly increase the suicide prevention work. However, there is still a latent need for doing more research in this field, especially for the Mexican culture.
This paper aims to present the two most important theories within the field of critical discourse analysis, which are used by analysts to monitor, study and analyze any hidden ideologies that lie ...behind the use of language in different contexts and contexts. This research paper also aims to help researchers and analysts by providing a quick presentation of these two theories in order to encourage their use in future research and studies.
The purpose of this research is to describe the use of language by teachers and students in bilingual classroom learning at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri (MIN) I Ciputat, South Tangerang. This research ...emerged based on the recent rise in the number of bilingual classes, such as Indonesian, English, and Arabic, which led to the use of learning activities such as code-switching. Based on the analysis, the authors concluded that generally, teachers use two or more languages consisting of Indonesian, foreign (English and Arabic), and regional languages. The use of Indonesian dominates in learning in accordance with the national curriculum, while the use of English dominates in subjects in line with the Cambridge Curriculum. Therefore, the use of foreign languages in these two learning activities aims to familiarize students with the ability to hear and speak foreign languages. These activities tend to improve student’s linguistics competence.
Indonesian studies for foreign speakers is still a new feld. Verbal behavior between lecturers and foreign students in this study approached with sosiopragmatik theory. The data collection is done ...by: participatory observation; structured interviews; and in-depth interviews. In the data collection tools used in audio recorder, a camera, and stationery. Analyzed using qualitative analysis with the methods of analysis: descriptive and categorical, then, theoretically interpret this categorization. In this study found six languages, beside Indonesian langiage used in learning interactions: English, French, Arabic, Chinese, Myanmar, and Java. English is used to help better understand Indonesian foreign students (disclosure purposes). French is used for setting the example. Arabic and Myanmar used to frequently asked questions concept. Chinese used to explain one of the vibrant Chinese culture in Indonesia. Java language is used to explain the meaning of the word / name from the Javanese and to express emotions. In quantitative terms, the use of the English language is more prominent than the use of another language. It is mainly found in the verbal behavior Lecturer and Lecturer Two Three.
