Advertising or advertising texts belong to mass media communication and are studied in different contexts and perspectives. This article focuses on linguistic analysis, presenting linguistic peculiarities in selected advertising texts for beverage products in the German-speaking region. Characteristic linguistic patterns, stylistic devices, and identified lexical preferences are discussed concerning advertising goals and effects. The results of the corpus analysis show that German beverage advertisements are mainly characterized by the use of various language games, Anglicisms, metaphorical, metonymic, and elliptical or fragmentary expressions. All these linguistic peculiarities draw potential consumers’ attention and communicate specific values effectively, such as taste, freshness, or authenticity.

SERBIAN FILM FROM JOURNALISM STUDENTS' PERSPECTIVE

Journalism students from the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Niš, are studying film as the first audio-visual mass communication medium, so the authors wanted to explore their relationship with Serbian (domestic) films, which is the main goal of this paper. In January 2023, 138 journalism students from all four years of undergraduate study participated in the study. Data were collected for the study using a specific questionnaire, which was then processed using SPSS, a program for statistical data analysis. The findings of the study indicate that journalism students visit theaters to see Serbian films. The presence of quality actors is both their initial association with Serbian movies and the most popular reason for going to the movies to see them. Lack of habit is frequently cited as the primary excuse for students who don't watch Serbian films at the movies. Although a bigger percentage of students say that Serbia creates exquisite movies that are popular abroad, they also believe that movies from earlier times were superior. The majority of the students believe that Serbian films are superior to those from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, two neighbouring countries.

Development of Educative Magazine as a Bilingual Learning Medium Based on Arabic and English Vocabulary

The utilization of bilingual learning media based on educative magazines has been widely found in various educational practices today. However, its existence is still limited to being used in the field of science, even though the essence of the magazine as a mass communication medium is very close to its role in the language field. Therefore, this study aims to develop an educative magazine-based bilingual learning medium to improve Arabic and English vocabulary skills. This development research using Dick Carey's 1950 ADDIE model focuses on media development, so this research maximizes the process of analysis, design, development, and formative evaluation stages at each stage. Sources of research data are primary and secondary data obtained by interview techniques, literature studies, and expert test questionnaires. The data collected was then analyzed by using the interrater-agreement model technique to find a validity index. The research results based on language and material expert tests show an index of 1.0 with revisions. In contrast, the research results based on media expert tests show an index of 0.85 with revisions. Thus, it shows that this medium is very easy, precise, interesting, and suitable for future application in the bilingual learning process, which aims to understand and improve bilingual vocabulary.

Az identitás maga az üzenet. A tömegmédiumok szerepe a nemzeti nagycsoportok identitásának hagyományozásában

Marshall McLuhan’s work in communication theory has drawn our attention to the fact that mass media, beyond transmitting knowledge, also shape our thinking. The same effect can be assumed for the way we think about our communities. Indeed, mass media have played and still play a crucial role in the birth and maintenance of historical large groups. Not only because our knowledge of the nation is fundamentally derived from the mass media, but also because these media have created a new language in which inter-group relations are inherently encoded. Media logic, not just the author, has a crucial role to play in shaping the representation of collective memory in history textbooks. As the most influential medium of mass communication, the textbook reconstructs and transmits the pattern of representation of national identity for future generations. In this way, identity becomes a message. The paper demonstrates this process through the example of the textbook transmission of a national trauma.

Analisis Semiotika Roland Barthes Dalam Film “Dunia Tanpa Suara”

Film is an influential visual mass communication medium and has various roles. Films usually contain values that have meaning or messages for the audience. Some signs appear in mass communication as messages that have meaning. These signs can be analyzed using sign science or semiotics. This research focuses on Roland Barthes' semiotics, which analyzes the meaning of signs using denotative, connotative, and meta-language or mythical meaning systems. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative. The data sources presented in this research were obtained directly from the research object, namely the film Dunia Without Suara, and other sources such as books and articles related to the focus of this research. The data collection technique in this research is a documentation study of the film Dunia Without Suara. Based on the analysis that has been carried out using Roland Barthes' semiotic theory, several scenes have meaning from circumstances, events, and shortcomings within a person.

Implementasi Aplikasi Mading Berbasis Website Pada Fakultas Teknik Dan Komputer Universitas Harapan Medan

Wall magazines called Mading are one of the simplest types of written mass communication media. It is called a wall magazine because the basic principles of a magazine are dominant in it, while its presentation is usually attached to a wall or the like. Faculty of Engineering and Computer (FTK) Universitas Harapan (UnHar) Medan has several study programs: civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, informatics engineering, industrial engineering, information systems, and informatics management. FTK UnHar Medan in conveying information about academic and non-academic activities to students and other parties who need it is done by posting announcements on the campus Mading board, and this makes it challenging to obtain this information because students and parties who need it must come to campus and see directly on the Mading. From these problems, a study was conducted to design a website-based Mading application. The research used literature study, data collection, analysis, design, implementation, and system testing. The conclusion obtained from the final results of this study is to produce a website-based Mading application so that students and other parties who need information submitted by the campus, especially FTK UnHar, can be obtained quickly, accurately, and not limited by time because information can be accessed 24 hours online.

Memory, Imagination, and Knowledge

The present article invites the reader to re-appraise the values of memory, imagination, and knowledge from a new perspective and with an abundance of various opinions, ideas, and commentaries. At the beginning of the 21st century, the growth by leaps and bounds of technology has made this re-evaluation even more relevant now that we have access to all kinds of sources of information. Such a fresh perspective becomes feasible and necessary, given the tools and possibilities offered, literally, by a wealth of sources at our fingertips. Using references available in historical documents as well as contemporary electronic and mass media communication, the discussion centers on a thorough analysis of memory and imagination with their obvious effects on the retention of knowledge. The positive outcome of such an approach is also relevant when we take a good look at the quest for knowledge and its intrinsic value. Research of material produced over centuries and millennia leads us to pursue the study of memory and imagination and, through them, perceive the acquisition of knowledge as beneficial and much-needed in the entire process of education.

HOW THE ITALIAN PRESS MAKE SENSE OF PHYSIOTHERAPY AND THE PHYSIOTHERAPIST A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY FROM 1989 TO 2019.

IntroductionThe legitimation of a profession provides for legal, formative, ethical, self-regulating and socially recognized development, which must pass through the appropriate mass media communication channels. The purpose of this study is to investigate the way in which the profession of physiotherapist and physiotherapy as a science are communicated in the newspapers.MethodsA cross-sectional, descriptive, structured, anonymous, non-funded survey was conducted through the analysis of articles in the daily newspaper "La Repubblica" in 2 distinct periods. A 21-item questionnaire was used, in which a distinction was made between semantic characteristics and content. The differences in the way the physiotherapist as a professional and the discipline of physiotherapy as a science are evaluated before and after the recognition of the professional profile in Italy (1994).ResultsThere is an improvement in the way the physiotherapist as a professional is communicated (from 14.6% to 25%), while physiotherapy as a science does not show any significant changes (from 19.5% to 22.2%). There is a meaningful improvement in the communication of various fields from few to multiple. A significant article in communicating educational aspects is often associated with the transmission of the value of Physiotherapy in research (VC 0.598), and the same association occurs between prevention and education (VC 0.552), autonomy of the physiotherapist and communication of the physiotherapist as professional (VC 0.503).DiscussionThe evolution of the profession and of the discipline over time was not matched by an adequate improvement in communication by the newspapers. The term rehabilitation cannot be distinctive from nor synonymous with the discipline of physiotherapy, of which it is an integral part but which cannot be defined by it.

How are non-perennial streams depicted by mass media? The influence of a catastrophic flood

ABSTRACT Despite our deepening knowledge of non-perennial streams, they are still poorly recognized, and people still perceive them as less valuable and less worthy of conservation than perennial streams. Due to its power to shape attitudes and opinions, mass media plays a critical role, which can also contribute to improving perceptions regarding non-perennial streams. Here, we aim to analyse how non-perennial streams are depicted by mass media in the Balearic Islands and how a catastrophic flood influenced mass media communication about these ecosystems. We analysed all news reports related to streams, published in the most read online newspaper of the Balearic Islands, for 25 months (12 months before and after the catastrophic flood). A total of 407 news reports were analyzed to identify the topics covered (e.g. floods, ecology, stream uses, water quality). News reports related to non-perennial streams focused on past floods and their consequences; our analyses showed how the catastrophic flood event affected the news temporal agenda, as well as the territorial inequalities in media coverage. News reports rarely covered ecological aspects of non-perennial streams or their relevance for freshwater resources. We concluded that news reports contribute to generating a collective memory around flood events but also contribute to social misconception about non-perennial streams.

Hold Your Fingers: The Communication Ethics on WhatsApp Based on the Hadith

In recent years, the widespread dissemination of false information on social media, especially WhatsApp, has become a major concern. This calls for a comprehensive analysis, emphasizing the Hadith perspective, in the context of Covid-19 misinformation in Indonesia. This article qualitatively analyses the spread of false information through WhatsApp, from the Hadith perspective. This study collected and analyzed WhatsApp messages circulating in Indonesia from 2020 to 29 May 2022, using the Turnbackhoax website to identify false information related to COVID-19. There were 217 messages classified into various categories, such as understanding COVID-19, symptoms, government policies, services, spread, treatment, positive patient data, task force, deaths, economic, social, and religious impacts, vaccines, and masks. The findings show that WhatsApp is a social media platform that is widely used to spread false information. The findings were then analyzed using Hadith, which revealed WhatsApp communication ethics such as silence is better than communicating false information, selectively sharing information, and conducting investigations. This research is expected to contribute to understanding the method in clear standardization, namely the Hadith of the Prophet. Anyone can use this method to prevent the spread of false information through various mass communication media, not only WhatsApp. Keywords: COVID-19, misinformation, communication ethics, hadith, WhatsApp.

Расширение диапазона использования условного наклонения в современном испанском языке на примере бизнес-ситуаций

&lt;p&gt;This paper aims to comprehensively analyze the range of use for the conditional tense in the modern Spanish language in the context of the business environment. In the last few decades, its use spectrum has widened significantly, which is visible in expanding into the Present, Past and Future areas. This process is also apparent in different language registers: in colloquial speech and journalism and in the business sector. Based on theory and practical experience, the author analyses the conditional tense as a simple tense with great potential as a form of communication in business and mass media. We found that in some cases, the conditional tense could be substituted by other present or subjunctive tenses. That change shows us the tendency to prioritize simple tenses shaped by globalization and migratory pressures. This perspective may be interesting and valuable for language professors, businesspeople, and Spanish students in the light of the negotiation planning as well as interview and exam preparation, as the research can inspire them to use these speech models in their daily lives and business environment, bringing them closer to spontaneous fluent speaking.&lt;/p&gt;

Teachers' Attitudes on the Importance of Moral Education in the Curriculum and Programs in Preschool Institutions

The main goal of this research was to determine the attitudes of educators about the importance and representation of moral education in the contents of the curriculum and work program of modern preschool institutions. Moral development and the formation of moral values take place in the process of continuous interaction with the social environment in which adults (parents, educators), school and peers, and more recently, mass communication media, act. The research sample consisted of 87 teachers from two preschool institutions from Novi Pazar, gender imbalanced, with the majority of the female population (85 teachers), of different ages and years of service. Among the instruments used was the scale of teachers' attitudes about moral education, which was formed for this research. As for statistical tests, a reliability test was applied, which confirmed that the scale is highly reliable and homogeneous, as well as tests of descriptive statistics and statistical inference - Chi-square test. Based on the results, the main conclusion is that moral education is recognized by the majority of educators as important and present in the contents of the curriculum in work with preschool children, while on the other hand, there is also a gap between the proposed activities in the contents and their application due to the current crises in the educational process.

Ironic twists of sentence meaning can be signaled by forward move of prosodic stress.

Prosodic stresses are known to affect the meaning of utterances, but exactly how they do this is not known in many cases. We focus on the mechanisms underlying the meaning effects of ironic prosody (e.g., teasing or blaming through an ironic twist), which is frequently used in both personal and mass-media communication. To investigate ironic twists, we created 30 sentences that can be interpreted both ironically and nonironically, depending on the context. In Experiment 1, 14 of these sentences were identified as being most reliably understood in the two conditions. In Experiment 2, we recorded the 14 sentences spoken in both a literal and an ironic condition by 14 speakers, and the resulting 392 recorded sentences were acoustically analyzed. In Experiment 3, 20 listeners marked the acoustically prominent words, thus identifying perceived prosodic stresses. In Experiment 4, 53 participants rated how ironic they perceived the 392 recorded sentences to be. The combined analysis of irony ratings, acoustic features, and various prosodic stress characteristics revealed that ironic meaning is primarily signaled by a stress shift from the end of a sentence to an earlier position. This change in position might function as a "warning" cue for listeners to consider potential alternative meanings of the sentence. Thus, beyond giving individual words a stronger contrastive or emphatic role, the distribution of prosodic stresses can also prime opposite meanings for identical sentences, supporting the view that the dynamic aspect of prosody conveys important cues in human communication.
