The Truth, the Partial Truth, and Anything but the Truth: Textual Constructions of Veracity in Siobhan Dowd's Bog Child

This article analyses the narrative techniques employed by children's literature to construct the sense of ‘what really happened’, even in the face of conflicting narratives, from a cognitive narratological perspective. Focusing on metarepresentation and attachment theory, the paper proposes the concept of ‘truth narrative’ to refer to narratives which make a claim about story-world reality. The function and construction of truth narratives is explored through a close reading of Siobhan Dowd's Bog Child.

SHELL NOUNS IN ACADEMIC DISCOURSE: A CORPUS STUDY OF THE RESEARCH MEDICAL ARTICLE IN BULGARIAN AND ENGLISH

The focus of the article is the research medical article, which is the academic genre heavyweight and whose structure serves as the mainframe of all other genre forms. One of its most important characteristics, playing at the same time a significant role in the field of discourse, are shell nouns. The latter are such a category of tokens, which with their schematic semantic structure, take reference meaning from the context. Shell words are convenient for the process of naming, as they first come to mind in an onomasiological task. The study is based on an analysis of two large corpora of research medical articles from prestigious Bulgarian and English-language publications, respectively. The article compares the use at semantic-syntactic level of the most common shell nouns in the studied corpora. As is to be expected, the most frequently used shell words belong to the so-called “mental” class. The word “analysis” is used most often in both corpora with “method” in the English corpus and “moment” in the Bulgarian corpus taking second place, respectively. Understanding the importance of the role of shell nouns in scientific medical texts has to do not only with hedging, but also with the semantics of the relation abstract-concrete, the indicators of cohesion and coherence, allowing to study the textual construction in the light of theme and rheme relations.

On Andrei Bely’s poetic philosophy and art of fiction

Abstract As a unique literary theory, Andrei Bely’s symbolism is a religious world view, and his “symbols” are deeply rooted in the symbolist’s cognition of world structure. This distinct world view exerts a special effect on Bely’s exploration of the poetic mechanism of symbolism. In the practice of completing the creation of symbolic image, the construction of symbolic text, and the achievement of artistic function, word, rhythm, and color are among the most important and necessary conditions to help Bely produce a polyphonic aesthetic effect.

Seventy Times Seven or Seventy-Seven Times: The Mathematical Formula in Matthew 18:22 and LXX Genesis 4:24

Abstract A survey of the current state of research shows that Matthean scholars are uncertain about the precise value of ἑβδομηκοντάκις ἑπτά in Matt 18:22. An investigation of similar constructions in ancient Greek texts indicates that ἑβδομηκοντάκις ἑπτά denotes the multiplication of seventy by seven and it is best translated “seventy times seven.” Further evidence indicates that the absence of a conjunction between the numerical adverb (ἑβδομηκοντάκις) and the cardinal number (ἑπτά) requires the construction to signify multiplication and not addition. Finally, Jewish literature suggests that the multiplication of seventy and seven signifies a global totality for all that may exist.

A Portrait of Teaching Writing in Online Classroom

Nowadays, online classrooms are growing in popularity. Especially given the Covid-19 outbreak in Indonesia, which has forced online learning. This study aims to investigate online learning in EFL learners’ writing classrooms. This study uses a qualitative method and a descriptive qualitative research design to examine in detail how teachers teach EFL learners in online writing. Researchers collected data through the technique of nonparticipant observation, and the researcher "observes from the sidelines" the action being observed. The results of this study reveal that the observed teacher's teaching method is not consistent with the four reference strategies employed by the researchers. The four strategies include; building knowledge of field, modeling of text, joint construction of text, and independent construction of text. Because, after being observed, the teacher employs only one strategy to teach writing, specifically building knowledge of field.

Correction of the Modernists and its Impact on the Construction of the Hadith Text - an Applied Atudy-

&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and the best of prayers and peace be upon our master Muhammad, the faithful prophet of mercy, and upon his pure and virtuous family, and his brightened companions, may Allah be pleased with all of them all, and those who follow them in goodness until the Day of Judgment. As for after....&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; Talking about the lexical industry and the construction of the hadith text is one of the most important tasks and stresses the duties of those who want to revive the Arabic drawings after they are studied and to show their features and beauties after their obliteration. However, the considered introduction to any lexical treatment and editing must be preceded by making an effort to rescue the texts and verbal contexts from the clutches of idleness and forgetfulness, and the claws of correction, distortion and alteration as possible, because the realization of attention and ideas in analyzing texts and comparing each other does not work; If the confidence in those texts is non-existent, as if the editor or researcher did not verify the correctness of the words and their proof from their users in the way he reached; Because the meanings are shades of words, and it was said in the past: When does the shadow straighten and the stick is crooked .

Defining the Postmodern Aspect of the Social Factor of Language Variation

The article highlights the trends of the present world, the informatization of society, the intensive development of innovative technologies entails a rethinking of values in art and language environment. Learning a language certainly includes considering a whole range of external circumstances in which it really develops and actively functions: the society that uses the language, its social structure, age difference between native speakers, social status, level of culture and education, place of residence, as well as differences in their speech behavior depending on the language situation. The relevance of the study is determined by the change in human consciousness during the postmodern cultural era, a feature of which is the rethinking of values, the definition of specific trends in the philosophical essence of the postmodern. The study presents the theoretical foundations of postmodern reflection in the social manifestation of speech. Postmodern forms a value attitude to progress as a single unchanging constant, formed throughout historical development. The article examines the conditions of equality of social factors between men and women who choose different strategies of speech behavior, manifested in the models of text construction, use of linguistic means, associations arising in both sexes as one of the aspects of postmodern semantic representation. In the course of the study the concept of "ethnicity" is defined, replacing the concept of "ethnos" and denoting the existence of separate ethnic groups. The study is based on the method of analysis and synthesis, the research, descriptive and scientific method was used to determine the postmodern aspect of the social factor of language variation. The results of the study are the basis for determining the social factor of speech in the context of postmodern society.

Grieks zonder grenzen

It has often been claimed that Greek literature of the Roman world is obsessed with the (classical) Greek past and detached from the real world in which it was written. This article, however, argues that Greek texts of the imperial period offer a fascinating glimpse of the polyphonic and multicultural world of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire was characterized by globalization, migration, and mobility. While Greek was the lingua franca of a large part of the Mediterranean world, especially in the East, writers of Greek literature came from many different places and regions, flexibly moving in a triangular space between local, Greek, and Roman identities. Three different examples are discussed: an epigram by Crinagoras of Mytilene, a passage from Pseudo-Longinus’ On the Sublime, and Lucian’s interview with Homer in True History. In different ways, these texts construct intercultural dialogues, which invite the reader to perceive the world and its literature as more diverse than just Greek and Roman.

Main features of teaching scientific writing for students of technical subjects

The main task of modern Ukrainian higher education system is to train highly qualified specialists who combine existing knowledge of a foreign language and speech skills with communicative readiness to interact with Ukrainian and foreign partners. The article actualizes the peculiarities of teaching scientific academic writing to students of technical specialties at non-language universities and highlights the requirements for educational competencies that must be possessed by the engineer of the XXI century. The purpose of the article is to review the main tasks of teaching scientific written speech, which are gradually implemented considering the psychological and pedagogical features of teaching a foreign language to students of technical specialties. The content of practical work includes the basics of academic writing, in particular the rules of text construction; some stylistic recommendations, lexical and grammatical features of scientific language; formulating definitions of used terms. In the classes students are offered to study the basic search strategies for selecting sources in modern databases, drawing up a list of references, abstracting articles that were selected during an independent search. Then students begin their work on their scientific theses and articles. Scientific articles prepared for publication are blindly reviewed by a foreign language teacher and directly by a specialist in a professional field. In addition to mastering new lexical and grammatical material, students improve the skills and abilities acquired in the previous stages of studying disciplines. Thus, the study of the features of academic writing is in close cooperation with the consideration of professional topics, which, in turn, contributes to the formation of future specialists who can not only communicate with experts but also analyze the scientific achievements of leading scientists and present the results of their own research to foreign academic audience.

English Writing Errors, Challenges, and Strategies in Modular Learning: A Multiple-Case Study

Writing especially using the English language, is a very important skill that an individual should acquire as it is very beneficial in different aspects of life. Many understand its significance in schools, workplaces and the social world in general. However, it is notable that the English writing proficiency of Filipino learners continuously deteriorates even before the pandemic up until the present. Therefore, it is important to explore the common English writing errors committed along with the challenges experienced as schools shifted to modular settings in learning writing as a compromising strategy to continue learning, as well as the possible strategies adopted by the learners in this context. Using a Multiple-Case study design, the researchers unveiled the writing errors of Grade 7 learners from three public High Schools in Cebu, Philippines. Findings revealed that the students have common writing errors in terms of punctuation, spelling, and capitalization. It is also discovered that the perceived challenges of the students include a lack of guidance from teachers or adults, understanding difficulty, text construction difficulty, and physical distractions. The students’ perceived strategies include writing exercises like note-taking, reading materials, checking and validating, and asking for guidance from peers. It was concluded that the modular setting, as a compromising academic response to minimize the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, also demands proper and appropriate strategies to compensate for the required learning competencies for English writing.

LES SIGNIFICATIONS DU NOM ȘOAPTĂ DANS LA POÉSIE DE TRAIAN DORZ

This paper aims to discuss some meanings of the noun șoaptă/ ‘whisper’ (derived by backformation), as reflected in the confessional poetry of Traian Dorz - a contemporary Romanian author whose work is undoubtedly the fruit of the spiritual experiences that have decisively marked his existential route. In fact, the relationship of the human being with God (in the earthly sphere, but also from the perspective of eternity) remains a constant theme of this work dedicated to the astonishing feeling of His unmistakable love, in connection with which everything is situated, more than once, within the coordinates of the unspeakable: it is a special kind of “verbalization,” which offers the opportunity to live in a true spiritual discipline, substituting (and suppressing) any other form of confession through ordinary words. In addition to simply illustrating such expressive valences that contribute to the achievement of the textual construction, the meanings of the above-mentioned noun highlight the deep feelings of the authorial ego, always ascending on the path of mystical knowledge, and are placed on a positive semantic direction, as a special way of inner “speech”, in the absence of which communication would be inconceivable.

A LIBRARY RESEARCH: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF GENRE BASED APPROACH IN INDONESIAN VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOLS

Genre Based Approach (GBA) had been implemented for a decade in English Curriculumof Indonesia. It was expected that this approach could develop four language skills simultaneously through its four stages of teaching and learning cycles, namely Building Knowlege of Field (BKOF), Modelling of Text (MOT), Join Construction of Text (JCOT) and Independent Construction of Text (ICOT). This study aims to review the implementation of GBA in Vocatioanal High School (VHS) and its impact to the learning process. It applied a library research to analyze two thesis and six research journals on the implementation GBA in VHS that focus mostly in writing skills. The results show that teachers have applied GBA using the correct stages though there are some weaknesses within the process. Teachers and students give positive response toward the implementation of GBA that can be seen through their enthusiam during the teaching and learning process. Finally, this study also revealed that GBA can improve students learning results that is proven from the students’writing scores that increase after the implementation of GBA.

Influence of Publishing House Advertisement of Shun Pao on National Ideological Emancipation

Taking the publishing house advertisement of Shun Pao from the Commercial Press from 1918 to 1932 as the research object, this paper not only adopts the content analysis method and studies the characteristics of the advertisement itself and publication, but also combines the advertisement text construction strategy, analyzes the internal connection mechanism among advertisement, publication, and ideological emancipation, and explores the influence of publishing house advertisement on national ideological emancipation.

Strategic media framing and attributive agenda

The focus of the analysis lies on the deconstruction of media messages in mass media discourse. The justification of approaches to promote the strategic media framing explains the implementation potential of media texts through linguo-cognitive, genre and contextual analysis. In order to identify patterns of media and attributive agenda the mechanisms of media framing are actively involved in the construction of a media text, while the establishment of a media frame is ment as a reflection of the reality in the minds of the recipient audience. The construction of media frames is also associated with cognitive-evaluative and affective coordinates in the reception and interpretation of events, situations, scenarios, value relations, etc. The theoretical significance of the studied issues lies in the essential understanding of the media framing and its socio-political and economic features, as well as its role in the agenda setting based on the reflection of modern media texts in the Russian quality press (Nezavisimaya Gazeta). Appealing to the theory of attributive agenda setting, this allows to get close to a comprehensive idea of the editorial and publication policy. The attributive agendas in diverse media resources are not coincided by thematic stories that can be quite indicative by understanding the fact, how particular media resource is loyal to the authorities, how it reflects the specifics of the editorial policy and its thematic specialization. So the formation of attributive agendas is a higher level of interpretation of reality that arises in the common media agenda (agenda setting). In general, the intentional structuring of information and the reception of the reality, as well as the study of interaction mechanisms as a behavioral matrix, fit well into the modern media practice of communicative actions of individual actors and social groups

Convite à Psicologia Matemática: Modelos e Benefícios da Teorização Formal

ABSTRACT In most areas, psychological phenomena tend to be explained only through textual constructions. Several authors, however, point to the need for theories that have a more formal nature, based on mathematical reasoning. In order to encourage broader access to its applications, we present the models and advantages of a mathematical psychology approach to the study of behavior. We review the limitations of verbal theorizing, then a common taxonomy in mathematical psychology follows, that classifies formal models as descriptive, process characterization, and explanatory. As well succeeded cases, we examine the mathematical psychology of decision making, of helping behavior, of memory, and of romantic relationships. Finally, we discuss the potential benefits and uses of this approach. Welcome to mathematical psychology.

METHOD FOR DETECTING FAKE NEWS THROUGH WRITING STYLE

In the era of digital technologies, distinguishing truth from misinformation is a challenging task. Fake news, character-ized by deceitful narratives, poses a significant threat. Traditional fact-checking methods often overlook the nuances of lin-guistic stylistic coloring. This study employs an advanced writing style analysis that extends beyond conventional methodolo-gies. Several linguistic dimensions of texts are considered in this research, emphasizing on pre-processing and function development. The experiments are based on various datasets. Thus, the developed method for detecting fake news utilizes a multidimensional approach. The proposed development includes meticulous verification of the dataset, pre-processing, and function development, focusing on emotionally charged vocabulary, word groups used in reports indicating event likelihood, mild cursing, and non-standard lexicon. Significant differences in linguistic features were identified, contributing to a nuanced understanding of the construction and creation of deceptive texts. The research results demonstrate that this method accurately distinguishes genuine from fake news articles based on writing style. This study represents significant progress in identifying phony news through writing style analysis, aiding in combating misinformation in the era of digital technologies
