The article focuses on blogs related to research activities of the academic community. Research-related blogs as components of university websites have developed into an array of sub-genres shaped by specific foci, their authors and the desired audiences. The data set consists of fifty posts from ten blogs of six universities. Drawing upon Swales’ methodology of genre analysis, the study explores the generic structure of the blog posts, reveals the communicative purposes they can fulfil within the landscape of university websites, identifies significant communication strategies, and explores the roles the blogs may serve in communicating science to the diverse audiences they potentially address. The analysis has shown that the blogs help accomplish the general goals of informing about the university and promoting it providing a personalized view and engaging the reader, manifest loose but recurrent generic structuring, and can be vehicles of knowledge dissemination as well as knowledge construction.
本文关注的是与学术界研究活动相关的博客。作为大学网站的组成部分,与研究相关的博客已经发展成为一系列由特定焦点、作者和预期受众塑造的子类型。该数据集由来自6所大学的10个博客的50篇文章组成。借鉴Swales的体体学分析方法,本研究探讨了博客文章的一般结构,揭示了它们在大学网站中可以实现的交流目的,确定了重要的沟通策略,并探讨了博客在向潜在的不同受众传播科学方面可能发挥的作用。分析表明,博客有助于实现告知大学和促进大学发展的总体目标,提供个性化的观点和吸引读者,表现出松散但反复出现的通用结构,可以成为知识传播和知识构建的工具。

Abstract This article presents and discusses a mixed-method study that seeks to establish a set of words in the English language that in-service primary school teachers consider difficult to pronounce by young learners of English whose first language (L1) is Norwegian. In the study, 26 in-service primary school teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) are asked to write a reflective essay with a list of phonetically difficult words (henceforth PDWs) in English that they think are difficult to pronounce by young EFL learners. Additionally, the in-service primary school teachers (further – participants) are requested to reflect and comment on PDWs, and explain the reasons why they think they are phonetically difficult. The participants’ individual lists of PDWs are compiled into a corpus which is processed in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) in order to calculate the frequency of PDWs. The participants’ comments and reflections are subsequently analysed qualitatively in order to establish the sources of PDWs. The results of the investigation reveal that the corpus of PDWs is comprised of 257 lexical items. The most frequent PDWs are associated with those sounds of the English language that are absent in the young EFL learners’ L1, Norwegian, e.g., /θ/ in birthday, /ð/ in this, /z/ in zoo, etc. Other frequent PDWs are related to English spelling conventions (e.g., fruit), the word-initial position of affricates (e.g., chocolate), and word stress (e.g., window). These findings and their linguo-didactic implications are further discussed in the article.
摘要本文提出并讨论了一项混合方法研究,旨在建立一组在职小学教师认为母语为挪威语的年轻英语学习者难以发音的英语单词。在这项研究中,26名小学英语教师被要求写一篇反思性文章,列出他们认为年轻英语学习者难以发音的英语发音困难单词(以下简称PDW)。此外,在职小学教师(进一步参与者)被要求对PDW进行反思和评论,并解释他们认为PDW发音困难的原因。参与者的个人PDW列表被汇编成语料库,在社会科学统计包(SPSS)中进行处理,以计算PDW的频率。随后对参与者的评论和思考进行了定性分析,以确定PDW的来源。调查结果表明,PDW语料库由257个词条组成。最常见的PDW与年轻英语学习者的L1、挪威语中没有的英语发音有关,例如生日中的/θ/、这个中的/abl/、动物园中的/z/等。其他常见的PDWs与英语拼写惯例(例如水果)、塞擦音的单词首位(例如巧克力)和单词重音(例如窗户)有关。这些发现及其林果的启示将在文章中进一步讨论。

English for European Communication and Tourism: Focus on Pragmatic Competence 欧洲通信与旅游英语:注重语用能力
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2019-09-01 DOI: 10.2478/rela-2019-0016

Abstract Pragmatic competence in L2 English is claimed here to be crucial for successful communication in a variety of communicative contexts across Europe. However, due to language background, cultural and identity differences among users of English, there is a need for reflection and data-driven examination of how the language is used in specific situations. This paper adopts a cross-cultural perspective on the study of the use of English in the European Union with focus on its role in tourism. The role of English as the language of communication in Europe is discussed, followed by a proposal as to the way in which its actual usage can be studied. The data-driven approach to pragmatic behavior is advocated as the basis for the development of pragmatic competence in learners of English with focus on those who wish to engage in tourism.
摘要在欧洲,第二语言的语用能力对于在各种交际环境中成功进行交际至关重要。然而,由于英语使用者之间的语言背景、文化和身份差异,有必要对语言在具体情况下的使用情况进行反思和数据驱动的检查。本文采用跨文化视角研究英语在欧盟的使用,重点关注其在旅游业中的作用。讨论了英语在欧洲作为交流语言的作用,然后提出了如何研究英语的实际用法的建议。数据驱动的语用行为研究方法被认为是英语学习者语用能力发展的基础,尤其是那些希望从事旅游业的英语学习者。

Metaphors and Legal Language: A Few Comments on Ordinary, Specialised and Legal Meaning 隐喻与法律语言:普通意义、专门意义与法律意义之评析
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2019-09-01 DOI: 10.2478/rela-2019-0013
Sylwia Wojtczak, I. Witczak-Plisiecka
Abstract The present text offers a few comments on the metaphorical dimension of legal language and the nature of legal language as such. The authors discuss selected metaphors in the context of the Polish legislation with the aim to show how the metaphorical dimension of language can be used and abused. It is also demonstrated that the metaphorical dimension of language can cross-cut the interface between language and law on different levels. There are metaphors in legal texts that can be deliberately used to emphasise or cover selected aspects of meaning, and others that can just happen to act irrespective of any premeditated action on the part of the legislator. Finally, in a wider perspective, it is shown that the relation between ordinary language and the language of the law, i.e. ordinary meaning and legal meaning, may itself be seen as a relation between two domains within which metaphorical mapping takes place. It is claimed that the divide between the realm of law and the “real world” goes beyond a trivial division relative to expertise in the law and expertise in legal discourse, but can be better understood as the division between the legal community and the non-legal community including the academia where linguists reside.
本文对法律语言的隐喻维度和法律语言的本质等问题进行了评述。作者在波兰立法的背景下讨论了所选择的隐喻,目的是展示语言的隐喻维度是如何被使用和滥用的。研究还表明,语言的隐喻维度可以在不同层面上跨越语言与法律的界面。法律文本中有一些隐喻可以被故意用来强调或涵盖意义的特定方面,而其他隐喻则可以碰巧采取行动,而不考虑立法者的任何预谋行动。最后,从更广泛的角度来看,普通语言和法律语言之间的关系,即普通意义和法律意义,本身可以被视为隐喻映射发生的两个领域之间的关系。据称,法律领域和“现实世界”之间的分歧超出了相对于法律专业知识和法律话语专业知识的微不足道的分歧,而是可以更好地理解为法律界和非法律界之间的分歧,包括语言学家所在的学术界。

Abstract We use the freely available program Praat to create a vowel-training application for learners of English familiar with IPA transcription. The application is easy to operate, allowing users to change the training difficulty, providing the listeners with immediate feedback, and adapting to their performance during a training session. To evaluate the effectiveness of the Trainer, performance of 59 Czech learners during a single training session and across multiple sessions was tracked. Results showed improvement both between sessions and within sessions. In the final training session, vowel identification accuracy showed considerable resistance to gradual addition of increasing levels of noise. Testing the trainer with additional 52 learners showed significantly higher error-rates for low-frequency words and supported the importance of top-down lexical effect in vowel identification.
摘要我们使用免费提供的程序Praat为熟悉IPA转录的英语学习者创建了一个元音训练应用程序。该应用程序易于操作,允许用户更改训练难度,为听众提供即时反馈,并适应他们在训练课程中的表现。为了评估培训师的有效性,跟踪了59名捷克学习者在一次培训和多次培训中的表现。结果显示,两个疗程之间和疗程内都有所改善。在最后一次训练中,元音识别的准确性对逐渐增加的噪音水平表现出相当大的抵抗力。对另外52名学习者进行的培训显示,低频词的错误率明显更高,并支持自上而下的词汇效应在元音识别中的重要性。

Abstract The English language has featured markedly as a popular language of computer-mediated communication, and notably of Facebook posts, written not only by native or second language speakers, but also users of English as a foreign language. The aim of this paper is to investigate the frequency, form and function of English language Facebook profile updates of 110 (55 women and 55 men) users of English representing 41 European, Asian, African and Latin American countries belonging to the Expanding Circle. Approached from the point of view of the code choice as well as the users’ gender, and supported by an online survey data, the study analyses in detail the form of the updates in connection with gender preferences and identifies language contexts and functions users choose to express themselves in English as opposed to their native tongue, thereby demonstrating the role of English as a we-code in a social networking service.
摘要英语作为一种流行的计算机媒介交流语言,尤其是Facebook上的帖子,不仅由母语或第二语言使用者撰写,也由英语作为外语的用户撰写。本文的目的是调查110名英语用户(55名女性和55名男性)的英语Facebook个人资料更新的频率、形式和功能,这些用户代表了属于扩展圈的41个欧洲、亚洲、非洲和拉丁美洲国家。该研究从代码选择和用户性别的角度出发,并得到在线调查数据的支持,详细分析了与性别偏好相关的更新形式,确定了用户选择用英语而不是母语表达自己的语言背景和功能,从而展示了英语作为社交网络服务中的we代码的作用。

Abstract The tendency to create messages using the elements belonging to different semiotic systems shifts our perception of a communicative act, contributing to the establishment of multimodal and intersemiotic communication practice. A visual metaphor is seen as one of the instances of a multimodal and intersemiotic message, which generates a text that is revealed gradually, uncovering numerous layers of meaning encoded within a metaphor and within visual, linguistic, and spatial settings it is placed in. The paper sets out to explore the notion of a visual metaphor and focuses on the application of the visual metaphor ‘global warming’ on posters created for the needs of public awareness campaigns, investigating simultaneous manifestation of iconic and metaphorical mappings in the given visual metaphor.
使用属于不同符号学系统的元素创造信息的趋势改变了我们对交际行为的感知,有助于建立多模态和跨符号学的交际实践。视觉隐喻是一种多模态和跨符号学的信息,它产生了一个逐渐揭示的文本,揭示了隐喻以及它所处的视觉、语言和空间环境中编码的多层意义。本文探讨了视觉隐喻的概念,重点研究了“全球变暖”这一视觉隐喻在公共宣传活动海报上的应用,研究了在给定的视觉隐喻中,图示和隐喻映射的同时表现。

Prosodically-conditioned Syllable Structure in English 英语韵律条件音节结构
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2019-06-01 DOI: 10.2478/rela-2019-0001

Abstract This paper investigates the interplay between the metrical structure and phonotactic complexity in English, a language with lexical stress and an elaborate inventory of consonant clusters. The analysis of a dictionary- and corpus-based list of polysyllabic words leads to two major observations. First, there is a tendency for onsetful syllables to attract stress, and for onsetless syllables to repel it. Second, the stressed syllable embraces a greater array of consonant clusters than unstressed syllables. Moreover, the farther form the main stress, the less likely the unstressed syllable is to contain a complex onset. This finding indicates that the ability of a position to license complex onsets is related to its distance from the prosodic head.
摘要本文研究了英语这种具有词汇重音和大量辅音集群的语言中韵律结构和语音语音复杂性之间的相互作用。对基于词典和语料库的多音节词表进行分析,得出两个主要结论。首先,有一种倾向,即主动音节吸引重音,而不主动音节排斥重音。其次,重读音节比非重读音节包含更多的辅音簇。此外,主重音离主音节越远,非重读音节包含复杂开头的可能性就越小。这一发现表明,一个位置允许复杂发作的能力与其与韵律头的距离有关。

This finding indicates that the ability of a position to license complex onsets is related to its distance from the prosodic head.","PeriodicalId":38985,"journal":{"name":"Research in Language","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45836392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract In any migratory context individuals are faced with several challenges as a result of having to live in a different geographical location, function in a different cultural setting and use a different language. The migrants’ use of language plays a crucial role in mediation of their identity, especially in the domain of pronunciation (Kobialka 2016). When non-native users of language adapt their speech to resemble that of the host community, it may suggest their strong identification with the target community (Hammer and Dewaele 2015). This papers focuses on the pronunciation patterns among Polish adult migrants living in the west of Ireland. The aim of the study is to investigate the link between positive attitudes of the migrant community towards Ireland, Irish culture and community, their acculturation strategies and language identity, and the tendency to use one of the most characteristic features of Irish English – slit-t. The theoretical framework includes acculturation theory (Berry 2005), social identity theory (Tajfel and turner 1987) and language identity (Block 2007). The qualitative and quantitative analysis of data indicates a certain correlation between the use of Irish English slit-t and the participants’ strategies of acculturation, identity and attitudes to the host community.
在任何一个移民背景下,个体都面临着许多挑战,因为他们必须生活在不同的地理位置,在不同的文化环境中工作,使用不同的语言。移民的语言使用在其身份认同的调解中起着至关重要的作用,特别是在发音领域(Kobialka 2016)。当非母语语言使用者调整他们的语言,使其与东道国社区的语言相似时,这可能表明他们对目标社区有强烈的认同(Hammer and Dewaele 2015)。本文主要研究生活在爱尔兰西部的波兰成年移民的发音模式。本研究的目的是调查移民群体对爱尔兰、爱尔兰文化和爱尔兰社区的积极态度、他们的文化适应策略和语言认同,以及他们使用爱尔兰英语最具特色的一个特征- slit-t的倾向之间的联系。理论框架包括文化适应理论(Berry 2005)、社会认同理论(Tajfel and turner 1987)和语言认同理论(Block 2007)。数据的定性和定量分析表明,爱尔兰英语slit-t的使用与参与者的文化适应策略、认同和对东道国的态度之间存在一定的相关性。
