Functions of ideonyms

The article is devoted to the study of the functions of ideonyms — theproper names of the results of human creative activity that have spiritual, intellectual and artistic value. Due to the peculiarities of ideonyms, their functions are to some extent different from the other categories of proper names. The aim of the article is to outline the functions of ideonyms. English ideonyms are the object of the research, the subject — the functions of English ideonyms. The research material (2000 English ideonyms) was selected from the English media, including electronic newspapers, magazines, and commercial websites, using a representative sampling method. In this study, we adhere to the Eastern European onomatological tradition. An analysis of the functions of names of works of art, films, and hemeronyms was made. It must be noted that the functions of other groups of ideonyms remained outside the scope of previous research, which increases the topicality of this work. Of course, all ideonyms, without exception, fulfill the basic nominative-identifyingdifferentiating function inherent to all proper names, naming an object, pointing to it, and separating it among others. Among the speech functions of the ideonyms, we single out the emotionally-expressive and the aesthetic function. The works of art are predominantly given a genuine name by the author, which is their integral part, as it explicates their deep meaning and creates a unique «emotional halo». Among the extra-linguistic functions of the ideologies, there are the cultural-historical, theprognostic, the advertising, and the influential function. Conclusion: We can conclude that ideonyms perform six functions: in language — the nominally-identifyingdifferentiating function, in speech — the emotionally-expressive and the aesthetic function, as to the extralinguistic functions, there are: the cultural-historical, the prognostic, the advertising, and the influential one.

The Use of Part-of-Speech Tagging on E-Newspaper in Improving Grammar Teaching Pedagogy

One of the components of learning English is Grammar, and the intrinsic part of it is Parts of Speech (PoS), where the majority of Malaysian students in higher institutions are still grappling to understand its use in sentences. This study aims to compare conventional method to e-learning method on its effectiveness in the teaching and learning of PoS. The application of Stanford PoS tagging has been used to analyze the PoS in every single word of the sentences extracted from the articles in The New Straits Times Online (NST Online). This quantitative research study adopted a comparative analysis in analyzing its findings. The results were statistically analyzed using The Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) for statistical analysis. These findings of the research reveal a significance difference between the score from students using E-paper and the score from students not using E-paper in learning Grammar. Independent t-test was carried out to compare mean between the two groups. The result shows a significance difference (p-value = 0.007, t = -2.774) between the two groups of students’ score. The mean performance of the students using E-paper shows a higher percentage compared to those not using E-paper. As students nowadays spend most of their time with electronic gadgets, this is an innovative way to capture their interest to spend more time on quality reading materials via electronic newspaper, simultaneously learning Grammar by going to the crux of its core by identifying the PoS of each word in sentences using new pedagogical strategy of PoS tagging.

A wavelet technique for the study of economic socio-political situations in a textual analysis framework

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to apply the wavelet thresholding technique in order to analyze economic socio-political situations in Tunisia using textual data sets. This technique is used to remove noise from contingency table. A comparative study is done on correspondence analysis and classification results (using k-means algorithm) before and after denoising.Design/methodology/approachTextual data set is collected from an electronic newspaper that offers actual economic news about Tunisia. Both the hard and the soft-thresholding techniques are applied based on various Daubechies wavelets with different vanishing moments.FindingsThe results obtained have proved the effectiveness of wavelet denoising method in textual data analysis. On one hand, this technique allowed reducing the loss of information generated by correspondence analysis, ensured a better quality of representation of the factorial plan, neglected the interest of lemmatization in textual analysis and improved the results of classification by k-means algorithm. On the other hand, the proximities provided by the factorial visualization validate the economic situation of Tunisia during the studied period showing mainly a stable situation before the revolution and a deteriorated one after the revolution.Originality/valueThe results are the first to analyze economic socio-political relations using textual data. The originality of this paper comes also from the joint use of correspondence analysis and wavelet thresholding in textual data analysis.

Banking in Indonesia can synergize with start-up companies (pioneer) FinTech by changing its business process by doing Business Process Reengineering (BPR).

El rol de internet para romper el silencio: el ejemplo de dos casos en américa latina, Marcelo Freixo en Brasil y Sebastián Piñera en Chile

The media are a privileged space for society to talk to itself and about itself (Franca, 2012). Currently, most households have access to the Internet, the- refore, through this new mediawe can give visibility to events and events that the so-called traditionalmedia do not want to address or insist on silencing. From this perspective, and through two examples from Brazil and Chile, we seek to deepen on how the Internet can be used as a tool to break the silencein light of current democracies influencing public opinion (Miege, 2010). As Car- don (2010) points out, the internet widens the public space, transforming the very nature of democracy. Likewise, this reflection aims to revitalize the discussion on the role of online media in the face of cases of public interest, remaining at the frontier between power and citizenship. In the cases of Chile and Brazil, the above mentioned takes on a particular meaning since traditional media, throughout history, have been controlled by governments and corporations, so that social networks and the Internet appear as spaces of autonomy ( Castells, 2012). In this context, a semio-discursive analysis was applied (Charaudeau, 1995, 2011) to different media from the network that deals with two cases of political figures, a) the official account of Marcelo Freixo on Fa- cebook and b) the articles from an electronic newspaper in Chile (El Mostrador) that link Sebastian Pinera with the Papers. The first corresponds to the candidate of the municipality of Rio de Janeiro Marcelo Freixo of PSOL, who in 2016, managed to mobilize a good part of society to reach the second round of the elections, with only 11 seconds of electoral propaganda authorized on television and on the radios. The second case corresponds to the former Chilean president, Sebastian Pinera, who during the maritime negotiations in Chile and Peru in the Hague had made investments in Peruvian companies that were based in Panama using privileged information. The theoretical and methodological aspects followed by the analysis and the main results of this investigation are presented below.

Due to the fact that electronic publications have a greater impact on the youth audience than traditional newspapers and magazines, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as prospects for development, are considered. The author studies the most popular online publications in Vietnam - Vietnamnet, Vnexpress, 24h.com, Thanhnien.com.vn, Tuoitre.com. The paper analyzes their content in terms of significance for the youth audience.

Price Increasing Tax Reductions for Electronic Newspapers

The economic implications of indirect taxation have long been understood. Reducing indirect taxes results in lower prices. This straightforward and intuitive result has been an undisputed input into State aid policy, allowing robust legal analyses of tax exemptions. However, recent advances in the economic theory of two-sided markets yield new predictions for the impact of one type of indirect tax, the value added tax (VAT), on electronic newspapers. The surprising new theoretical prediction is that reader prices increase following VAT reductions. The prediction is driven by low marginal costs and the fact that advertisers would pay more for an ad seen by more readers. We bring this insight into the State aid literature and assess the implications for State aid policy. In particular, we raise questions over the legal assessment of a Norwegian State aid scheme, where a VAT exemption for print newspapers was extended to digital newspapers. If prices go up instead of down the policy will not have the intended effect and, under the given argumentation, the aid should not be viewed as compatible with the functioning of the internal market. The economic and legal arguments we present are important for the wider European debate on whether to reduce VAT on electronic newspapers. Keywords: VAT; Electronic newspapers; Two-sided markets

ГАЗЕТНИЙ ДИСКУРС ЯК ТИП МАСОВО-ІНФОРМАЦІЙНОГО ДИСКУРСУ

The article focuses on the main features of newspaper discourse as a mass information discourse type. On the basis of known in linguistics classifications of the discourse the place of newspaper discourse among them has been analyzed and defined as evaluative, extensive, compelling, interlocutory and manipulative. Its main functions (informing and influencing) and categories (cognitive, communicative, metadisсursive) have been singled out. The newspaper discourse has been considered from the points of view of the addresser and the addressee of media messages. As the recipient of newspaper communication is the mass audience with different interests, knowledge degree, intelligence, background, age, culture, life experience, and geographical location, the addresser should solve a difficult problem of engaging the interest to their edition of the most part of this audience. For this purpose, authors use different models of covering the material (actual and author’s), as well as means and devices of presenting the information by selecting the expressive verbal and nonverbal components corresponding to the addressee, appealing to their consciousness, influencing them by means of a combination of expressiveness and standardization. In the article the difference between the terms “mass information media” (MIM) and “mass communication media” (MCM) has been explained. Thus, MIM are monological, unidirectional and responsible for mass informing of the society, whereas MCM, forming public opinion, influence public and individual consciousness, create situations of dialogueness/interactivity, and multidirectional information flow. The comprehensive purposes of a newspaper discourse, such as informing, influencing the reader and forming public opinion, have also been outlined, especially referring to electronic newspapers, MCM of the new age. It has been defined that these convergent media as the center of a modern newspaper discourse are easily accessible, fast, popular with youth, have additional opportunities (photos or videos, comments, discussions, hyperlinks to other sources, two-way communication), and therefore the addresser has a more effective influence on the necessary category of addressees.

COFFEE SHOP, GENTLEMEN’S CLUB AND SOCIAL NETWORK, OR WHERE THE PUBLIC OPINION IS SHAPED TODAY

The article covers a comparative analysis of the instrumental capabilities of various communication media (television, printed and electronic newspapers and magazines, news portals, radio and social networks) on the formation of public opinion in the youth regional sub-socium. Empirical basis — the result of the author’s questionnaire survey of youth in the Republic of Mordovia. The choice of young people become an object of empirical research because of the fact that today it is at the intersection of information consumption from both traditional and fundamentally new means of communication media. The obtained data indicate that the level of influence of the CM in the structure of the regional youth sub-socium is differentiated. At the moment, the leading positions belong to television. After comparing the results with those of other authors, was made a conclusion about the gradual loss of the monopoly on controlling the flow of information from the traditional media. The observed convergence of media can be one of the factors shaping the the development of civil society institutions.

The extent to which Saudi E-newspapers adhere to professional media standards: مدى التزام الصحف السعودية الإلكترونية بالمعايير المهنية الإعلامية

The emergence of the press on the Internet is a new media phenomenon linked to the revolution of information and communication technology. The media landscape has become closer to everyone. The role of the individual is free from the production controls and the policies of the media establishment. Which created a great problem related to the profession and its conditions so that it became easy for the citizen to be a journalist without professional qualification and practical experience in the basic rules of work. The increasing number of electronic media and the impact on Saudi Arabia are an important stage in its media activity. It has been able to reflect a significant role in the world of journalism, to accelerate the use of these new technologies, and to impose itself on the media arena as a strong competitor for paper journalism. However, the multiplicity of electronic platforms, accompanied by many negative repercussions in this aspect, including the absence of professionalism and professionalism and the decline in journalism standards, especially in the climate of freedom enjoyed by the new media and the absence of scissors censor. The aim of this study was to identify the methods and means of communicators in the electronic press to achieve professional standards such as accuracy, credibility, objectivity and neutrality in the dissemination of news and reports through the use of descriptive and analytical approach through the field survey on a sample of the study community. The study relied on the questionnaire as a tool for collecting data from a sample of 120 Saudi journalists in electronic newspapers and then analyzing and interpreting them. The study reached several results, the most important of which is that there is weakness in the adoption of the Saudi electronic press to the professional standards of objectivity, accuracy, credibility, and impartiality in the dissemination of news and reports. The study also concluded that e-newspapers do not always adhere to the rules of journalistic editing, and sometimes publish what is considered a violation of personal freedom.

Revisiting hypermedia space in the era of the Islamic State

ABSTRACTHypermedia space—the notion that discrete media technologies connect to create a communicative space with multiple access points and socio-political uptakes—has now become a commonplace to the extent that it is a naturalized, hence unproblematic assumption, in research on the social and political impact of digital media. Inspired by the work of the Canadian international relations theorist Ronald Deibert on hypermedia (1997), I initially developed the notion of “hypermedia space” (Kraidy, 2006; Braman & Mallaby, 2006) before the advent of social media, to analyze the expanded space and flow of communication between various media--blogs, mobile telephony, digital cameras, online videos, electronic newspapers, and satellite television. That networked communicative environment I defined as hypermedia space, was used to theorize hypermedia events (Kraidy, 2010), and recently advocated incorporating “old media,” including the human body, in hypermedia space, to get a comprehensive vista of contemporary mediation (Kraidy, 2016). In this article, I take stock of what the notion of hypermedia space might mean in light of key developments in the Middle East in the last decade—namely the Arab uprisings and the rise of Islamic State. I then offer some thoughts on emerging areas where hypermedia space could be applied.

Situational prevention of domestic violence: A review of security-based programs

This paper assesses the effectiveness of security-based programs to reduce repeat domestic violence. A systematic search was conducted of the scientific literature, as well as an electronic newspaper database and the Internet, for published reports of domestic violence prevention programs involving security applications. The study was unable to identify cases with full experimental designs showing clear evidence of positive effects. However, five types of applications were identified with promising evidence of reduced violence – Offender GPS tracking, shelter security, home security, personal duress alarms, and combined home security and duress alarms. Within this framework the study identified six specific programs showing evidence of success. An emerging potential model of good practice – which requires further empirical investigation – involves the deployment of home security and mobile duress alarms within a coordinated program of professional support for clients.

The public perception of the print and electronic newspapers and magazines editions: Case of Serbia

Complex research in the field of print and electronic media and relations preference towards them has been non-existent in Serbia, so the paper aims to provide initial guidance in this regard. An instrument (questionnaire) was formulated for the purposes of this study and used for measuring respondents' assessment of strengths and weaknesses of the print or electronic media. The research was conducted at the national level in Serbia, with a large number of respondents (432), using a number of different variables on the Likert scale. Respondents evaluated a total of ten items pertaining to different aspects of the advantages and disadvantages of print and electronic editions. The results can be of great importance to the media and other participants in the advertising industry-advertising agencies and advertisers. The scientific contribution of this paper is shown in the initial data the researchers gained in the fields of the media, marketing and advertising, regarding the perception of the print and electronic newspapers and magazines editions in Serbia.

Replacement or complement: A niche analysis of Yahoo news, television news, and electronic news

This study adopted the theory of the niche to investigate the competitive relationship between three news media—Yahoo news, television news, and electronic newspapers. Two research methods, intensive interviews and a nationwide telephone survey, were employed to collect data for this study. The telephone survey resulted in 1002 valid telephone calls. This study found that Yahoo news did not produce its own news, but it was perceived by the respondents to be equivalent to television news and that the respondents perceived the strengths of Yahoo news and television news to be very different. Therefore, this study predicts that the two media would be able to coexist in Taiwan’s news media market. Furthermore, the data from the niche analysis show that Yahoo news and television news were generalists, while electronic newspapers were specialists.
