Speech is a way of expressing ideas in the form of words or discourse that is prepared to be spoken in front of the audience. Speech contains a message that is tailored to the situation when the orator delivers the speech. In addition to the message to be conveyed, the ideology and thoughts of an orator are also reflected in his speech.

Based on the results of this research, it can be interpreted implicit meanings in the text through linguistic elements, such as tematic, skematic, semantic, sintaxs, stilistic, and retoric.

Individuation Revisited

The problem of the individuation of laws, identified by Bentham, is dismissed as irrelevant to legal philosophy by some commentators. This paper presents individuation as crucial for understanding the cognitive processes underlying legal interpretation. It draws on the work of Maciej Zielinski and Teun van Dijk to show that legal interpretation is based on deriving legal rules qua semantic macro-structures from a legal text treated as a complex discourse. The Zielinski/van Dijk model also lends theoretical support to the interpretation-construction distinction by explaining, in linguistic terms, the processes that take place during construction.

Hidden Curriculum in Schools: A Comparison of Religious Otherness in Pakistani ELT Textbooks

The emphasis of this research was religious otherness depiction in high school English textbooks issued by four State controlled Pakistani textbook boards of i.e., BTB Quetta, STB Jamshoro, KTB Peshawar and PTB Lahore. It besets a broad contrast among the religious otherness descriptions as depicted in provincial ELT textbooks and the otherness related notions of their corresponding students. To achieve the goals, the study was alienated in 2 phases: In phase 1, the textbooks of government textbook publishing boards were investigated and in the second phase their corresponding readers’ religious otherness ideas were obtained and evaluated. The research devised a modified model of analysis by blending Van Dijk (1998) and Fairclough (2001) CDA model for interpretation and explanation of religious otherness in representative text extracted from textbooks’ discourse. The study discovered the prevalence of religious otherness- related themes in all ELT textbooks. It was also found that STB discourse had improved religious otherness images and students’ otherness ideas than other provincial textbook boards and their respective readers. The study also revealed that Muslim male and female students had peculiar otherness notions about minority religious communities. The readers’ responses to questionnaire items in phase 2 of research suggested that textbooks had a significant part in molding otherness related notions of young readers. The study recommended an otherness-based investigation of the textbooks prior to publication at federal government level to ensure citizenship equality as envisioned by founder of the nation.

Strategies of Denial in Amr Moussa and Abul Futouh Presidential Debate

This paper investigates the various strategies of denial employed by presidential candidates Abdel Moneim Abul Futouh and Amr Moussa in the first televised presidential debate in the history of Egypt and the Arab world. Based on van Dijk's model of analyzing denials of racism (1992) and van Eemeren et al.’s classification of the fallacies of argumentation (1996), the study analyzes the linguistic constructions correlated with denial as a form of managing accusations that is capable of moving the audience into supporting the opinions and ideologies expressed by the speaker. The study concludes that both candidates have similarities and differences in using denial strategies. Both debaters rely heavily on ‘act denial’ as the main vehicle for denying accusations. Moussa, however, differs from Abul Futouh in his dependence on argumentum ad hominem in its abusive as well as tu quoque variants. Abul Futouh, instead, employs goal denial and intention denial to manage his opponent’s accusations

Multilingualism in Iran Unity or Pluralism? (A case study in East Azerbaijan Province)

The present paper is based on a research conducted to investigate how English newspaper editorials in Iran express their political ideologies in the ninth presidential election. All texts usually encode the ideological position of their producers, but they are not always explicit for all readers. They need to be revealed and unmasked, so the use of critical discourse analysis in this regard is to examine the ideologies underlying the texts. In the methodological framework of Van Dijk's model, the ideology carrying categories were identified, scrutinized and compared in the clause structure of the editorials in four English newspapers in Iran. It was generally found that the relationships of the newspapers with the institutions, political parties and government influenced the way the editors conveyed their ideas and thoughts about the candidates in the presidential election.

From informational to emotive use: meiyou (`no') as a discourse marker in Taiwan Mandarin conversation

Discourse marker analysis has been widely studied, leading Fraser (1998: 301) to call this subject `a growth market in linguistics'. In our present research, we extended the study of discourse markers to the Chinese marker meiyou, which has traditionally been treated as a negator (e.g. Biq, 1989; Teng, 1973a, 1973b, 1975). The corpus studied here contains 40 conversations, totaling 482'27”. The analytical framework adopted in the study was drawn from van Dijk's model (1979), which mainly consists of a semantic/textual level (i.e. sequences of utterances/propositions) and a pragmatic/interactional level (i.e. speech-acts). A total of 141 occurrences of meiyou were identified as discourse markers in the corpus: 13 of them occur at the textual level and 128 of them at the interactional level. Thus, meiyou occurs more frequently at the interactional level than at the textual level. At the textual level, meiyou introduces an answer to a self-inquiry or self-correction. At the interactional level, meiyou mainly serves as a response to provide information, as a marker of correction/clarification or evasion, and as a response to praise or gratitude. In particular, with respect to meiyou's interactive functions, we use the concepts of preference structure (Sacks et al., 1974) and face-threatening acts (Brown and Levinson, [1978] 1987) to analyze the collected data. We further demonstrate that intersubjectification (Traugott and Dasher, 2002), a mechanism whereby meanings become more centered on the addressee, is involved in the development of the discourse marker meiyou.

Object-Oriented Program Comprehension: Effect of Expertise, Task and Phase

The goal of our study is to evaluate the effect on program comprehension of three factors that have not previously been studied in a single experiment. These factors are programmer expertise (expert versus novice), programming task (documentation versus reuse), and the development of understanding over time (phase 1 versus phase 2). This study is carried out in the context of the mental model approach to comprehension based on van Dijk and Kintsch's model l(1983) Strategies of Discourse Comprehension. New York: Academicr. One key aspect of this model is the distinction between two kinds of representation the reader might construct from a text: (1) the textbase, which refers to what is said in the text and how it is said, and (2) the situation model, which represents the situation referred to by the text. We have evaluated the effect of the three factors mentioned above on the development of both the textbase (or program model) and the situation model in object-oriented program comprehension. We found a four-way interaction of expertise, phase, task and type of model. For the documentation group we found that experts and novices differ in the elaboration of their situation model but not their program model. There was no interaction of expertise with phase and type of model in the documentation group. For the reuse group, there was a three-way interaction between phase, expertise and type of model. For the novice reuse group, the effect of the phase was to increase the construction of the situation model but not the program model. With respect to the task, our results show that novices do not spontaneously construct a strong situation model but are able to do so if the task demands it.
