Creation Of Texts Research Articles

Креативность прецедентов: от слова к тексту. Границы актуализации (на материале английского и русского языков)

The aim of the study is to describe the ways of creating precedents in language, the possibilities of their realization, characteristic of ethnic language and culture. The article considers the situations of using precedent units in speech communication on the material of English and Russian languages. The analysis of the use of precedent units revealed the creative potential of the phenomenon of precedence and identified a number of opportunities for further study of the phenomenon in the activity aspect. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the fact that for the first time creative possibilities of precedent language units are considered within the framework of the system-activity approach to the study of speech communication in linguistic, cognitive and communicative dimensions. As a result of the study it was established that the creative process of making a precedent unit is an individual cognitive-communicative activity of each of the communicators. Highly communicative communicators are most active in the generation of creative texts; precedence in speech is justified by the framework of conjugation of cognitive activity, communicative activity of the author and cognitive activity, communicative activity of the recipient of speech communication.

Can narrative medicine methods improve well-being in patients with gastrointestinal malignancy?

e24091 A Pilot study - Can Narrative Medicine Methods Improve Well-being in Patients with Gastrointestinal Malignancy? Background: Patients with cancer often face profound physical and emotional challenges. Narrative medicine methods, involving discussions of and writing about creative texts, are utilized to help healthcare providers improve communication and process emotional experiences which, unexplored, may lead to poor well-being. We apply the narrative medicine method to patients with GI malignancies. Methods: The endpoints of this pilot study were feasibility - 7/10 participants completing 2 out of 3 sessions, and assessing the benefit of applying the practice to optimize well-being. 10 patients were identified by a single oncologist at USC/Norris cancer center to undergo three narrative medicine sessions. Sessions addressed themes relevant to well-being: Identity, Meaning making, and Finding joy. A survey with Likert scales (1-5) and free text answers, as well as interviews, were administered. Content analysis was done. ESAS scales were administered before sessions. Results: 7 of 10 patients have been assessed, completing all three sessions.Surveys were administered after session 3, interviews 1 month later. 5 was the most popular Likert choice. 7/7 chose a 5 for feeling comfortable and learning about themselves. In free text answers, 6/7 patient responses reflected themes of enhanced self-reflection, 2/7 improved perspective-taking, and 3/7 enhanced empathy for others. 1/7 said the sessions gave them hope for medical research, and 1/7 noted the sessions helped them tolerate chemotherapy. ESAS scores trending in a positive direction included pain, drowsiness, nausea, anxiety, and well-being. The interviews elicited the following themes: 7/7 noted the narrative medicine experience had been enjoyable, 6/7 noted enhanced meaning-making meaning and perspective-taking. 3/7 noted the sessions made them feel more positively about their healthcare experiences and helped them embrace their identities outside of cancer. 3/7 said the sessions improved their empathy for others. Other individual themes were: the sessions gave them hope, helped with self-reflection, encouraged seeking new experiences, helped them accept circumstances, enhanced connection to creativity and spirituality, and improved their ability to connect to others. Conclusions: This narrative medicine pilot project was feasible and patients were able to complete the assessment. The evaluative scores demonstrated that all participants felt comfortable participating. Additionally, the patients noted benefits related to well-being including but not limited to improved capacity for self-reflection, putting things in perspective, meaning-making, and noticing moments of joy. A larger study is planned to assess the benefits of this approach for patient well-being and clinical outcomes.

A narrative discourse analysis of soldier’s home by Ernest Hemingway: A micro and macro-structural narrative analysis

This article employs narrative discourse analysis to analyze Ernest Hemingway’s Soldier’s Home by using two narrative analysis frameworks that focus on the Macrostructure and Microstructure aspects of the story. The study aims to unveil the intricate structural and linguistic choices contributing to the meaning and impact of “Soldier’s Home” and the simple writing approach that Hemmingway utilized to write this story. This analysis has been chosen to explain and understand that stories are not merely a sequence of events but mirrors reflecting the intricacies of our psyche, inviting us to confront our fears, desires, and the enigmatic depths of human nature, and how lexical resources are deployed to express them. The analysis covers the story’s generic structure using Paltridge’s model of schematic structure, thematic nuances, psychoanalysis, and lexico-grammatical cohesion. Findings show that the writer follows a series of structural moves and uses a variety of narrative strategies such as a high level of involvement and a wide range of lexical and grammatical cohesive ties, which contribute to the creation of a well-formed text that has effectively achieved its purpose and made its intended effect. Keywords: Macrostructure; microstructure; narrative strategies; soldier’s home; storytelling.

Foregrounding Anishinaabek Culture and Collaborating with Children in their Multimodal Text Creation

In this paper we examine young Indigenous children’s text creation and identity (re)formations, and the teacher’s multimodal scaffolding within the context of a literacy event that drew on Indigenous pedagogies and traditional land-based cultural practices of their northern Canadian Anishinaabek community. Multimodal interaction analysis methods were used to examine the interplay among the children’s and the teacher’s talk, nonverbal communication modes and use of various sign-making tools in the meaning-making and identity-(re)formation processes.

Comics and the culture of free speech: the case of Neil Gaiman

ABSTRACT Comics have been especially vulnerable to censorship. A history of repression has been well documented in the scholarship and is part of fan lore and culture – so much so, in fact, that the topic risks becoming calcified. This paper argues for a broader examination of free speech and comics, the better to understand how the creation and circulation of texts shapes the medium. Here, Neil Gaiman serves as a valuable case study, a creator who not only advocates for free speech but whose intellectual formation depended upon it. Attending to the liberalising forces of mid-Twentieth Century, the paper illustrates how the availability of texts was essential to the formation of Gaiman’s distinct comics aesthetic. Moreover, as Gaiman’s case suggests, comics depends on free speech not only to protect creators, but to guarantee access to the materials out of which traditions can be built.

Communicative intention detection in Spanish tweets using Jakobson language functions

Social media platforms, such as Twitter (now X), are a major source of communication. Identifying communicative intentions is useful, as it encapsulates the latent motivations that drive text creation. This intention is also helpful in understanding the message, context, and audience. This study proposes a method for detecting communicative intentions in tweets using Jakobson’s language functions. We constructed a meticulously annotated dataset, drawing from the extensive RepLab2013 corpus. Our dataset underwent rigorous scrutiny by linguistic annotators who analyzed over 12,000 tweets individually. These experts identified the dominant language function within each tweet by employing diverse strategies to ensure precise labeling quality. The outcome demonstrated a noteworthy Kappa agreement score of 0.6, reflecting a strong inter-annotator reliability. Subsequently, these functions were mapped to the corresponding intention categories. We employed logistic regression and support vector machines (SVM) algorithms to classify intention in tweets and explored various pre-processing techniques, incorporating n-grams and bag-of-words representations. Furthermore, we expanded our research using pre-trained large language models, incorporating the latest state-of-the-art techniques in natural language processing.

GTLNLP: A Mathematical Exploration of Cross-Domain Knowledge Transfer for Text Generation for Generative Transfer Learning in Natural Language Processing

In the field of Cross-Domain Knowledge Transfer generative transfer learning in Natural Language Processing (NLP) used for creating text using generative math. The paper aims to improve the usefulness of text creation models in a variety of areas by using cutting edge deep learning and neural network methods. We come up with a new system that makes it easier for information to move from one domain to another, even when the language and situation are different in each domain. Using domain adaptation techniques to match feature distributions and reduce domain gaps is what our method is based on mathematically. It is a complex version of transfer learning principles. We test our model's abilities on a wide range of tasks by doing a lot of careful experiments. We focus on how well it can share information and write text that makes sense and is relevant to the situation across different areas. This study not only adds to our theoretical understanding of cross-domain knowledge transfer, but it also gives us useful tips on how to make NLP models more flexible and useful in the real world. The results of our study could help improve the state of the art in generative transfer learning and make text generation systems that work better and more reliably in a variety of language settings.

Orality in a world of manuscripts: reconstructing Purāṇic composition, preservation and transmission on the basis of the Bhaviṣyapurāṇa

Since the invention of the Indian writing system around the third century BC, Sanskrit literature was no longer exclusively oral. However, not all genres immediately adopted the new possibilities. In order to fully understand the orality and writing of Sanskrit literature, I will first define a threefold division of what I call ‘the compositional complex’, the totality of processes involved in the creation of texts and their subsequent usages. The first stage is the composition of the text, the second is its preservation for the sake of future generations, and the third is its transmission to the audience. Each stage can be oral or written. After a brief discussion of secondary literature on the compositional complex of the Vedas, the Mahābhārata and the Purāṇas, I look for text-internal evidence for the compositional complex of Purāṇas in the Bhaviṣyapurāṇa, ‘the Purāṇa of the future’. On the basis of this single Purāṇa, it is possible to make a reconstruction of the composition, preservation, and transmission of Purāṇas, where orality and writing intertwine.

Neo-humanism and the Modern World: A Philosophical Perspective through the Lens of Philip Roth's Everyman

Everyman by Philip Roth is a realistic work that covers the life of an unnamed Jewish American from childhood to adulthood in a bildungsroman style, slowly revealing mundaneness in every element of life and potentially being related to "Everyman" who exists in the world. An individual's self-centered focus and an abundance of ideas that examine his very existence and the proportion of significance he has had in the lives of those around him relate to the exciting phases of life that parallel the universal narrative of marriage, divorce, betrayal, sex, regret, emptiness, introspection, anxiety, ageing illness, and death. Everyman by Philip Roth makes many allusions to the memories and experiences of immigrants. It speaks to people who live lives torn between the past and the present, between freedom and religion, and between finding transcendence through humanism rather than via faith in God. It also talks on the ideological conflicts that have developed between dads and sons as a result of contemporary upheavals. The potential conclusion of the study is that modern humanism is founded on this through negation in the creation and consumption of texts, on the notion that human civilization is not monolithic but rather multifaceted and dynamic, meaning that understanding it requires a long gaze through immense time and the novel perspectives of modernity.

The Term Migration in Arabic Criticism the Problem of Translation and Reception

The critical term is an essential element of any serious and effective literary criticism in approaching creative texts and highlighting its intellectual and aesthetic components. Furthermore, it plays a pivotal role in controlling concepts to facilitate communication between those interested. The critical term also contributes in ensuring the objectivity of the approach since it is a linguistic sign formed from a signifier and a signified defined in a specific field of knowledge in contrast to the regular linguistic sign which may have several meanings. Thus, the present paper aims to examine the reality of the critical term and the problem of its translation and reception in Arabic criticism in light of the Western critical accumulations.

The paper presents the bilateral project Assessing reading literacy and comprehension of early graders in Bulgaria and Italy, its aims and expected results, as well as the principles underlying the creation of texts assessing reading literacy in Italian and Bulgarian. The ultimate goal of the project is to improve the literacy skills of primary school children through education. In order to contribute to the achievement of this goal, a thorough investigation focused on the assessment of reading literacy and comprehension among early school children in Bulgaria and Italy. The article focuses on the principles for preparing materials in Italian and Bulgarian for assessing reading literacy. The linguistic features used to predict reading ability are divided into four main groups: raw text, lexical, morpho-syntactic and syntactic features.

Literary translators in-between

Abstract This article reports on a study of literary translators’ self-imaging strategies and their attitudes towards technology in the context of the increasing technologisation of the profession. Literary translators’ self-image emerges as the sum of personal as well as professional characteristics, which is in contrast with the way they believe outsiders perceive them. Participants’ narratives highlight the feeling of being misunderstood by those outside the profession, and inhabiting an in-between space, having to reconcile both contradictions inherent to literary translation and those engendered by differing views of the profession and the role technology plays in it. Results open up a new path for the study of literary translators’ self-imaging strategies by centring their voices as a means to better understand if and how technology can (1) empower translators of creative texts and (2) reduce the gap between their view of the profession and other stakeholders.

Problem-solving activity during the foreign language writing process: A proposal for categorisation and visualisation of source use and a new take on fluency in multilingual writing

Writing processes constitute a complex interplay of planning, formulation and revision. Ideas take shape through the activation of previous knowledge and, when permitted, also its synthesis with information from sources that help to complement it and resolve doubts and shortcomings arising during writing. The possibility to use external help can be especially useful to those writing in a foreign language, and questions about the nature of the sources consulted can contribute new insights into language processing in the multilingual mind, as well as expand our notion of fluency. While leaving the target text is often considered a distraction, a ‘breakdown’ in fluency, it is, in fact, a part of language processing and text creation. This article proposes a novel way to use keylogging data from Inputlog (Leijten and Van Waes 2013) to visualise the crosslinguistic nature of solving language and content problems in L3+ writing: creating process graphs to display the temporal dynamics of different types of sources used. The example data comes from a university-level course on Spanish linguistics, where Spanish was a third or subsequent language for the participants. Evidently, the vast majority of their external activity was language-related and brief, and, interestingly, a great part of it recurs to a lingua franca, English. Some social context and reasoning is offered to explain such an observation.

Enhancing Students’ Narrative Writing Skills through Folktale Films

This research aimed to improve the writing skills of ninth-grade students at a junior high school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The study used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, incorporating folktale films as a learning tool. Twenty-eight students (Class A) participated, with collaboration from an English teacher. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and tests, employing a triangulation method. The research consisted of two cycles, following the action research phases: plan, action, observation, and reflection. Results showed a significant enhancement in students' writing skills with the use of folktale films. These films increased confidence and participation in English writing, leading to effective narrative text creation. The students actively engaged in lessons, positively impacting their overall writing abilities, as observed and reflected in improved test scores. The paper concludes with practical implications based on the study's findings.

Виды информации в текстах эпистолярного жанра и способы их передачи в переводе

The article is devoted to the issue of information type congruence in the epistolary texts translation. The aim of this research is to characterize information types contained in the text of epistolary genre, explain the language mechanism of maintaining the congruence of the information types proportion between the source text and the translation while preserving the dominant type. The book "Chesterfield's Letters to His Son" (1774) and its translation into Russian (1971) served as the empirical material. The analysis was conducted on the basis of contexts containing verbs of speech production. The research identifies the presence of emotional, cognitive, operative and aesthetic information, as well as the ways of their linguistic expression in the source text. Ways of conveying information types of the source text in translation are characterized. The analysis reveals that the presence of specific information types in an epistolary work, alongside the choice of linguistic means for their expression, is determined by the communicative goal of the utterance – to give the author's opinion and considerably influence the recipient's views. The analysis shows that, in correspondence with such goal, emotional information is dominant in the text of epistolary genre under study. The preservation of the original information types in translation enables a creation of a secondary text that is equivalent to the source text and has a comparable value in the target linguoculture.

THE STRUCTURE OF LEARNING QUESTIONS FOR THE PURPOSES OF GROWING STUDENTS' COGNITIVE META-COMPETENCEMENTS

In the article, based on the meta -competence and institutional-culturological approaches developed in the school of general methodology of conceptual constructs of system-thought-activity modeling, the goal is to develop technological solutions for the formation of students ' cognitive meta -competences. In educational activities, a hierarchy of educational processes is defined: the main one is the creation of educational texts by students, the auxiliary one is work with literature, the service one is classroom activity. Based on the structure of educational processes, three roles of a teacher are defined: an assistant in mastering a professional language, a source of professional opinion, and a model of professional ethics. The role of classroom taking notes and asking the teacher of educational questions in the formation of cognitive meta-competences is shown. The differences between educational and non-educational questions and the structure of educational questions are given: for understanding, task, problematic, systemic and causal. The proposed technology of educational activity allows it to be applied in the formation of students' cognitive metacompetences, in the design and evaluation of educational literature, the creation of intelligent systems for the design of educational activities and the assessment of students' cognitive metacompetences.

Shackling (im)morality: religious tropes, religious figures and marginalizing politics in queer Nigerian creative texts

Building on existing scholarship and debates on queer cultural production in Nigeria, and the complex representation of religious themes as they intersect with queerness, this article analyzes the novel Walking with Shadows, and the film Hell or High Water. Through this analysis, the article argues that while religious ideologies and figures continue to hinder queer agency and visibility, the religious landscape continues to be contested by queer characters. In these texts, religious figures contribute to queerphobia as they act as gatekeepers regarding what acceptable sexual orientation and gender identity are. They also inhibit queer-livability. At the same time, queer-identifying characters attempt to deconstruct religion by cultivating enabling spaces, strengthening their agency, and in asserting their identities. While these forms of advocacy might not yet have yielded immediate impact, questioning the place of religion in Nigerian queer narratives contributes to the voices that contest the criminalization of queerness in the country.
