Imagery of journalistic speech in the regional press

Introduction. Journalism as an original form of creativity focuses on searching effective expressive means for understanding and reflecting existence: not only to inform, but also to attract attention, evaluate, influence perception and consciousness, get the reader interested with a word or an original interpretation of certain realities. Mediastyle, responding to the changes in society, forms public opinion with the help of words and images, therefore there is a tendency to use emphatic language in the media alongside with conciseness of presentation, condensation of content. One of the features of journalistic speech is imagery as a way of representing certain concepts and phenomena through language images. They replicate the worldview of the author and the worldview of the audience. The entire arsenal of heterogeneous pictorial and expressive means is facilitated in media creativity. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to analyze the functioning peculiarities of the figurative means of speech in modern regional media texts (on the material of the publications of the newspaper «Vinnychchyna»). Results. Analyzing the regional media discourse of the weekly «Vinnychchyna», we can observe a variety of figurative means. They express the stylistics and aesthetics of presentation in media texts, create an emotional color laconically and aptly, serve to decode the author's intention, which objectifies a special perception of the text and has a more effective impact on the reader's consciousness. Figurative newspaper headlines acquire certain pragmaticism: they are less informative, but attract attention, aim for a special attitude to publications, intrigue with their expressiveness, give an impetus to decoding the title of the publication after familiarizing with it. The imagery of these elements contributes to associative connections with the journalist's worldview on today's problems. Originality. Visual and expressive means, their functional and stylistic parameters in media texts have already been analyzed on the basis of materials of various types of publications. The regional media content is sporadically localized by local researchers in their regional studios. Therefore, this segment of media linguistics, Vinnytsia in particular, remains to be a significant issue for scientific interpretation. Conclusion. The language resources of journalistic creativity are diversified by imagery, which strengthens the expressiveness and informativeness of the text with the purpose of influencing the addressee, and actualizes the communicative and pragmatic intentions of the author. Metaphors, metonymies, synecdoches, personification, periphrasis and other figurative means can be found in the regional press, for example the newspaper «Vinnychchyna». They deepen the expression semantics, provide evaluative characteristics to events, persons, realities, condense stylistic connotations, which contributes to the preserving language resources in the regional media discourse.

Portraying the Male Abuser in Contemporary Women’s Fiction

Newspaper headlines show that awareness of intimate partner violence is a complicated issue that needs further examination. Works of fiction narrated by women trapped in abusive relationships are useful sites for the exploration of what intimate partner violence usually includes, and the identification of subtle behaviours that can be defined as violent and abusive but usually go unnoticed. This article submits two contemporary works of fiction, First Love and the Fifty Shades series, for a study of the covert mechanisms of emotional abuse. To understand such mechanisms, the article engages with feminist as well as postfeminist contemporary thinking on intimate partner violence. The analysis shifts the focus back to the male abuser by carefully depicting how he uses under-recognized, gendered forms of power to abuse his partner. The aim is to elucidate the capacity of first-person narratives to allow access to the abused woman’s mind, while simultaneously provoking questions about the abusers’ behaviours, making them a more powerful tool for understanding intimate partner violence than a newspaper report.

Illocutionary Speech Act Analysis in Nipashe Newspapers’ Headlines

The purpose of this study was to look at headline writers’ intentions from Tanzanian Nipashe newspapers and classify them in accordance with illocutionary speech acts Taxonomy by Searle (1979). The study employed a qualitative research approach and a descriptive research design. The study involved the population of 1095 front-page newspaper headlines. A sample of 130 headlines was chosen and each headline was classified according to the taxonomy of illocutionary Speech Act. Out of the five categories of speech acts developed by J.R. Searle (1979), which served as the theoretical foundation for the study, four speech acts were found to be executed in the sampled newspaper headlines, with the representative speech act type predominating. Claiming, urging, remembering, reporting, recommending, assuring, bragging, concluding and deducing were some of the assertives' or representatives' illocutionary acts that appeared in the headlines. Directive headlines surveyed were used by copy editors to request, order, command, question and suggest that readers of the newspapers do something. Some headlines included commissive speech acts, which copy editors used to commit themselves to future actions. The headlines with expressive illocutionary acts were used by the editors to thank, pardon, apologize, blame, deplore, congratulate, regret and praise. There was no declarative speech act performed in the Nipashe newspaper headlines. The study recommends that the newspaper writers continue executing assertive speech acts in their headlines if they wish to tell the truth, use commissive speech acts if they want to make commitments about future events, use directive speech acts if they want readers to do something, use expressive speech acts to draw the attention of their readers and express their emotions and feelings and use declarative speech acts if they want to change the world and the attitudes of their readers at large.

ЕЛОКВЕНЦІЯ КОНЦЕПТІВ ЧОЛОВІК І ЖІНКА В ГАЗЕТНИХ ЗАГОЛОВКАХ УКРАЇНСЬКОМОВНИХ ВИДАНЬ СУЧАСНОГО ДЕСЯТИЛІТТЯ

Traditionally, newspaper texts should promote literacy and awareness in social and political life. Understanding this, journalistic authors try to write them in a literary language, but the desire to draw attention to a note or article with an expressive title with not always tactful words usually prevails over the desire to promote literacy. The goal of highlighting the text by any means, attracting the addressee's attention becomes dominant in the process of journalists' creative speech. In addition, newspaper articles and notes reflect the everyday life of an average reader, the surrounding reality, economic, socio-cultural and political realities, prompt reflection on them, which leads to certain generalizations and conclusions regarding the representation of such concepts as man and woman. Realizing that it is worth attracting their target audience and expanding it, the authors of newspaper texts resort to eloquence as an effective tool of eloquent influence on the addressee, forcing him to see and be able to decode the apt and extraordinary headlines that abound in the pages of modern Ukrainian-language periodicals. The newspaper discourse of modern Ukrainian-language publications explicates a specific power to speak, endowed with the power to assert something, promote, broadcast stereotypes and deny them. However, it is worth noting the tendency that modern headline complexes, as the primary elements of text publications, are not always organically connected with the content of the article, but, on the contrary, quite often are an independent component of media representations. The main feature of modern newspaper headlines is apt brevity and eloquence, which contribute to attracting attention and memorization. Expression marks newspaper texts for the attractiveness, informativeness and influence of the media product. So, modern newspaper headlines multifacetedly reflect both the content and style of the article, and determine the addressee, and are a kind of compass that orients the reader in a frenzied flow of information, and a special "litmus test" for the level of perception of this or that concept.

Danish bare singular count nouns in subject position

This paper aims at investigating under which conditions Danish Bare Singular Count Nouns (BSCNs) can function as subjects in standard categorical statements, i.e. outside special discourse types such as proverbs, newspaper headlines, titles of paintings, etc. Taking as a point of departure a brief discussion of the distributional differences between, on the one hand, Bare Plural count nouns (BPs) and mass nouns and, on the other, BSCNs, it is shown that, contrary to BP- and mass noun subjects, BSCNs in subject position are non-referential and do not imply existential presupposition. On these grounds, and on the basis of analyses of phenomena such as agreement features, genericity and pseudo-incorporation, it is argued that the BSCN-subjects of categorical statements are objects which, owing to the lack of realisation of nominal functional categories, act as property-denoting modifiers restricting the denotation of a covert predicate. Consequently, it is concluded that BSCNs in subject position do not function as arguments in themselves, but are instead pseudo-incorporated into the covert predicate as modifiers.

Cinema as Method: Re-vision in Ramón Gómez de la Serna's Film Script Cifras (1930)

AnnaTorresCacoullos is an Assistant Professor of Spanish at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her research spotlights practices of experimental film writing in Spain in the early twentieth century, including literary-cinematographic scripts and novelized film plots. m ode rnism / modernity volum e twe nty nine , num b e r four, p p 717–740. © 2023 johns hop kins unive rsity p re ss Cinema as Method: Re-vision in Ramón Gómez de la Serna’s Film Script Cifras (1930) AnnaTorres-Cacoullos In 1927 Luis Buñuel approached Ramón Gómez de la Serna and proposed to the author that they collaborate on a film based on the vanguard writer’s short fiction. In his memoir Buñuel recalled that the film would feature “A man [who] buys a paper from a kiosk and sits down on a nearby bench to read it; as he reads, Serna’s stories appear on the screen, each preceded by a newspaper headline—a local crime, a football match, a political event. When the ‘stories’ are over, the man gets to his feet, crumples up the paper, and throws it away.”1 Although Buñuel referred to the title of the film as “Caprichos” in his personal papers—taking its cue from Gómez de la Serna’s short narrative collection Caprichos (1925)—he also had variously referred to it as “El mundo por diez céntimos” (“The World for Ten Cents”), suggestive of the price of a newspaper at the time and indicative of the Ramonian vignettes that were to be presented as though from the page of a newspaper.2 Agustín Sánchez Vidal’s research claims that another of the film’s tentative titles had been simply “El periódico” (“The Newspaper”).3 If all went according to plan, the film—Buñuel’s first directed motion picture—would premier in October 1928 to coincide with the First Spanish Conference on Cinematography organized by the popular Madrilenian film magazine La Pantalla. Gómez de la Serna, leading figure of the Spanish avant-garde and labeled by Nigel Dennis as “the embodiment of modernity,” was intrigued by the opportunity to engage the emerging moving image medium , which he saw as probing the limits of representation and perception, and which appeared to challenge traditional modes M O D E R N I S M / modernity 718 of literary writing.4 Tasked with writing the film’s script, “Ramón,” as he liked to be called, shifted his gaze from the art of prose fiction to the craft of screenwriting. Ramón defied the influential belief that cinema was a new, so-called “Seventh Art,” expounded in 1923 by film theorist Ricciotto Canudo, who hailed cinema as “a plastic art in motion,” the new, Seventh Art, proposing that it was a synthesis of three rhythmic arts (music, dance, poetry) and three plastic arts (painting, sculpture, architecture).5 Ramón conceived of film as el séptimo procedimiento or the “seventh method,” where he did not suppose cinema to be a new art but rather a distinct way of producing art.6 Significantly, he viewed this “cinematographic method” ultimately as a literary method, declaring in 1928 in Madrid’s most important cultural magazine, La Gaceta Literaria, that cinema, like “todas las artes son evocación literaria, quieran o no quieran” (“La nueva épica”; all arts are a literary evocation, whether they want to be or not). With this radical idea, Ramón experimented with cinema by revisiting and revising his prior work published in his short fiction collections Greguerías (1917), Disparates (1921), Ramonismo (1923), and Gollerías (1926). It is not known whether Ramón ever completed the script for Buñuel’s proposed film, a project that was ultimately abandoned by the following year and never filmed.7 In any case, Ramón could not resist cinema’s methodological potential because in 1930 he published a film script titled Chiffres in the prestigious Parisian film magazine La Revue du Cinéma.8 Critics believe this script is in part the product of Ramón’s partnership with Buñuel, though Chiffres displayed significant discrepancies from what Buñuel...

Going Places: Victor Hugo Green and His Glorious Book by Tonya Bolden

Reviewed by: Going Places: Victor Hugo Green and His Glorious Book by Tonya Bolden Kara Forde Bolden, Tonya Going Places: Victor Hugo Green and His Glorious Book; illus. by Eric Velasquez Quill Tree, 2022 [40p] Trade ed. ISBN 9780062967404 $17.99 Reviewed from digital galleys R* Gr. 4-8 As a mail carrier in New Jersey in the early twentieth century, Victor Hugo Green was known for his “great get-up-and-go,” and he used his resourcefulness to carefully compile information about safe and friendly accommodations for Black folks traveling in the United States during Jim Crow segregation. The result was the Green Book, which started as a small pamphlet in 1936 that focused on the New York City area but quickly grew to detail welcoming establishments in the biggest cities of every state until its last publication in 1966. With lively language that hovers between poetry and prose, Bolden’s biographical account carefully introduces the intersections of historical preconditions that led to the creation of Green Book: the pervasive harassment and danger Black people experienced during Jim Crow; the growing Harlem Renaissance; the shifts in modes of transportation during the Great Depression; and Green’s disposition and resilience. Velasquez’s smooth oil paint illustrations radiantly depict everyday Black folks on the go, often paired with highly detailed portraits of car models of the era, while collaged snippets of relevant media, such as postcards and newspaper headlines, contextualize the flow of information around the Green Book’s creation and use. Primary source evidence of how dearly Victor Hugo Green longed to see the day his prized creation would no longer be necessary poignantly connects Green’s life to the broader history of civil rights movement. Backmatter includes a timeline, additional information about Green, citation notes, and suggested further resources for young readers.

The newspaper headline presents itself as a linguistic axis in the communicativeinteraction between the speaker (the writer of the headline) and the hearer (the readerthereof) against the background of the speech act theory. As such, the meaning of theheadline is determined by certain variables, i.a. syntactic and contextual variables,and its inherent communicative components.The universal and multidimensional reality, including the rich context of man, entityand event, features as the source of information on which the newspaper headlinereports.Knowledge of the speech act theory can empower the subeditor with a means of inferenceregarding the intention with and discourse strategies of the newspaper headline,ensuring maximal cognition and perlocution by the reader.In short: by using the speech act apparatus analytically, the headline writer can restassured that he informs the reader optimally; that he, though it be journalisticallyunethical, can even manipulate him.

Dominica Kwéyòl Orthography

Using the Orthography In recent years, with the advent of social media, there is evidence of greater use of written Kwéyòl, for example, in messaging and chat applications. There is also a more significant presence and visibility of Kwéyòl on signage, posters, billboards, banners, brochures, product labels, and other promotion or identification material. Kwéyòl texts are seen on buses (bus identification), other private vehicles, and in public spaces as graffiti. Occasionally one would find articles, special features, and even front page headlines in various newspapers in Kweyol. There is also an increased presence of Kwéyòl hymns in religious service pamphlets and handouts. The music industry, too, is driving the use of written Kwéyòl. This is seen in CD album covers, liner notes, music videos especially lyric videos, print, and other music/artiste promotional material. In the broader entertainment industry, there is greater use of Kwéyòl for naming and branding music and entertainment events and festivals. All these examples highlight diverse situations and practical reasons for using Kwéyòl texts. This also reflects a new awareness and a more positive attitude to Kwéyòl among the population. At the same time, there is often no adherence to the standard orthography hence the need to promote the standard orthography.

Motion of No-confidence against Imran Khan: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Newspaper Headlines

The current research study is aimed at critical discourse analysis of the newspaper headlines about the motion of no-confidence against Imran Khan in the parliament of Pakistan. The study is descriptive qualitative. Fairclough’s (1992) framework for critical discourse analysis of a communicative event was used for this study. Twenty-six newspaper headlines were selected from reputed Pakistani English and Urdu newspapers. The data was collected through purposive sampling techniques. The critical discourse analysis of newspaper headlines elucidated how the same news item was differently presented in different newspapers due to the ideological perspectives of their editors. The study reflects that the editors of newspapers have concealed ideologies that aim to create a sensation among their readers by employing a stimulating lexicon. These headlines function as a tool for propagating the hidden ideologies of editors to achieve their concealed objectives. The study draws the conclusion that newspaper headlines are representations of the editors’ ideologies which reflect their political, religious and personal propensity regardless of their claim to be unbiased and neutral in their field. The newspaper editors exploit headlines to shape readers’ thinking on issues of national concern.

Structural and pragmatic shifts in the development of newspaper headlines in the socialist and democratic period

Abstract The newspaper headline is the first contact between the author and the recipient and in terms of stylistics, it is one of the compositional aspects of the text. In relation to the text itself, as well as to the communication partner, the headline fulfils an informative, engaging and especially in journalistic genres, persuasive function. Following the previous research focused on the 1960s, the aim of the study is to analyse and compare headlines in Slovak newspapers in the period of totalitarian and democratic establishment with a focus on the journalistic genre. The research sample, excerpted from the official discourse of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (1948 – 1956, 1961 – 1970) and the more recent Slovak mainstream e-discourse (2011 – 2021), contains almost 800 headlines to monitor the developmental tendencies of a given text component under the influence of changed extra lingual conditions. The aim of the research is to verify the expected linguistic and communicative modifications captured, for example, in a freer approach to the use of language. The given assumption expected at the structural-pragmatic level is conditioned by the dismantling of political-ideological control of the socialist period. At the stylistic-pragmatic level, we also assume a more direct and qualitatively more elaborate expressiveness in the language.

Politicizing COVID-19 Lingua in Western and Arab Newspapers: A Critical Discourse Analysis.

COVID-19 has struck the world in an unprecedented way. Countries quickly tried to counter the rapid spread of the virus by imposing strict measures and national lockdowns. At the same time, some governments took advantage of the pandemic to besmirch their opponents. We utilize van Dijk (J Polit Ideol 11(2):115–140 2006) critical discourse analysis model to investigate how newspaper headlines reacted to COVID-19 from through ideological lenses. Results show that while the US implied that China is the origin of the virus, headlines in Arab newspapers showed that Saudi Arabia blamed travel to Iran for the early increases of COVID-19 cases.

Lexical Relation used in Newspaper Headline of the Jakarta Post: Jokowi Highlights Tolerance at Cultural Congress Conclusion

The lexical meaning was the smallest meaning unit in the meaning system of language that could be distinguished from other similar units. A lexeme was an abstract unit that occurred in many different forms of spoken or written sentences. Lexical associations were considered more important in the headline in the newspaper because they formed a semantic relationship and related to the most problematic coherence as open-word in the form of noun and verb since the lexical meaning of the words had the same meaning in the context. This research aimed to examine the use of lexical meaning in the headline newspaper of the Jakarta Post. The result found that there were few words whose lexical meaning correlated to certain semantic roles. As two semantic roles were used in analyzing the data, it was obtained that synonym words existed in 13 words, its percentage toward the article was 3.01%; and hyponymy words existed in 10 words, its percentage toward the article was 2.32%. This result indicated that lexical relations such as synonymy and hyponymy might vary to perform functions between sentences and clauses. Choosing the correct definition of a lexical word could avoid misinterpreting the proposition of the reader’s interpretation. It was determined that the Jakarta Post, especially in the headline entitled “Jokowi highlights tolerance at cultural congress conclusion,” contained mostly synonym words, which meant most of the lexical meaning of the words had the same meaning in the context.

The First Active-duty Diplomat of the Ottoman Empire in South Africa: Ohannes Majakyan Bey (1867-1941)

The first active-duty diplomat of the Ottoman Empire in South Africa, Ohannes Majakyan Bey, showed how an Ottoman diplomat of Armenian origin can successfully represent the last Turkish-Islamic empire in his diplomatic services. Of course, it was the Ottoman Empire that gave him this confidence ; however, adaptation of Armenian minorities to the state was also about the loyality of Armenians, whom was called Millet-i Sadiqa in the Ottoman society. The donations that Ohannes Majakyan Bey collected from South African Muslims for the Turkish soldiers who fought against the Italians in the Tripoli War was a manifestation of the respect for the Ottoman Caliphate in Africa. Another important point was here is how a diplomat of Armenian origin properly represented the Ottoman State regardless etnich and religious differences. The activities of Ohannes Majakyan, which were reflected in the newspaper headlines in South Africa, were best examples of serving his country with a merit-based approach above the Armenian identity. The Ottoman Empire took advantage of the non-Muslim diplomats like Ohannes Majakyan Bey, who served in the Sub-Saharan region, and rewarded him repeatedly. This paper aims to enlight the activities of Ouannes Majakyan Bey in the light of the archival documents in Turkey and South Africa.

Generation COVID-19 and bodily disorders: Hyperbolic narratives and a developmental psychopathology perspective.

Starting from spring 2020, newspapers headlines and studies have suggested that the COVID-19 pandemics had a negative impact especially on the mental health of children and adolescents, so that terms like “lost generation” or “generation COVID-19” have been used to define youth in time of pandemic crisis. Similarly, international health agencies reported an increase in depression and anxiety among adolescents in COVID-19 time, but also a rise in bodily disorders, such as non-suicidal self-injury and eating disorders. However, scientific data on this matter are not as clear as they seem and theoretical-clinical proposals regarding the processes involved are lacking. Focusing specifically on bodily disorders in adolescents during COVID-19, the aim of this perspective paper is to review this issue and propose a novel viewpoint on it. Firstly, data regarding frequency and phenomenology of bodily disorders in adolescence before and during the pandemic will be presented to underline possible discrepancies, gaps, or hyperbolic descriptions in the literature published after the COVID-19 outbreak. Secondly, a specific theoretical-clinical perspective will be proposed, that is, a developmental psychopathology perspective which attempts to frame these phenomena in a more nuanced and complex way, taking into account the role of developmental processes in adolescence age and its difficulties in the specific, subjective life-context of the individual, when intertwining with vulnerability factors and stressful life events. As such, the function of the body for the adolescent as a primary mean for regulating the self-other relationship and developing a greater sense of self-agency will be highlighted. The final objective is to help the clinician in developing both a critical thinking about the data that are shared in public outlets and an intervention that takes into account the complexity of contemporary psychopathological phenomena.

How Multiple Identities Can Impact the Legitimacy of an Organization

ABSTRACT Organizations realize that their license to operate and the supportive behavior of their stakeholders relate to how they come across. If the identity of an organization is not a single, but multiple it may face unique challenges in strategic communication. The purpose of this study is to identify how the reputation and legitimacy of such a multiple identity organization (MIO) are affected by its performance and communications. Building on organizational identity theory, insights from corporate communication, and stakeholder theory, the potential vulnerabilities are listed through theoretical deduction and are illustrated by the case of Sanquin, the Dutch blood supply foundation. The case assessment relies on interviews with stakeholders and journalists, complemented with an analysis of newspaper headlines. The mismatch between the identities endangers legitimacy because legitimacy is based on the conformity to norms and values, the area where the identities clash. The inherent tension between the ideological and utilitarian identity cannot be avoided completely, but a strategic communication policy that manages the balance between the identities in organizational communication could help a better understanding of MIOs. The case offers insights into how creating this balance might be considered in the development of strategic communication of MIOs.
