Central Banks’ Communication Strategy and Content Analysis of Monetary Policy Statements: The Case of Fed, ECB and CBRT

Abstract Prior to the 1990s, it was believed that Central Banks should be in mystery giving away little on the policies they were following. However with time, the importance of transparency and working with, rather than against, markets began to be understood. This has become especially important after central banks began to implement inflation targeting regime and communication strategy has turned out to be a major tool for central banks. In this framework, central banks began to use different communication channels one of which is the monetary policy statements after policy decisions. Our work offers a semantic examination of monetary policy statements from the US Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (Fed, ECB and CBRT) in order to observe the change in tone of monetary policy statements with movements toward greater transparency. In the study, we examine the monetary policy statements of three central banks in the pre-crisis years of 2002 to the subsequent period of 2015 and compare the specifics of the language used both pre- and post-crisis by making use of Diction 7 software. The results show that optimistic tone of Fed has decreased over the period we studied while certainty tone has increased. As for ECB and CBRT, there is no significant tone difference in certainty, optimism and the realism over time. However, for the CBRT's last two years statements, there is a significant increase of optimistic tone.

Sheer Blue Milken Dreaminess:Galway Kinnell’s Answer to Logopoeia in “The Fly,” “Saint Francis and the Sow,” and “Blackberry Eating”

Sheer Blue Milken Dreaminess: Galway Kinnell's Answer to Logopoeia in "The Fly," "Saint Francis and the Sow," and "Blackberry Eating" by Tanya Long Bennett Abstract An analysis of Galway Kinnell's poems "The Fly, "Saint Francis and the Sow," and "Blackberry Eating," reveals Kinnell's treatment of the concept of logopoeia , a term coined by Ezra Pound to describe a particular use of language in poetry. Pound defined the term through illustration in the poems of Mina Loy and Jules Laforgue; it refers to the use of abstract, ironic vocabulary, which generates an objective, anti-sentimental, and satirical poetic stance. Kinnell, who adopts a distinctly Romantic role as a poet, nonetheless employs key aspects of logopoeia in order to adapt the Romantic ideology to the contemporary reader. Through a unique integration of Romantic sentiment with the intellectually playful, logopoeic use of diction, Kinnell produces poetry that both exploits and celebrates language and its multiple levels of meaning as well as addressing the painful wounds of the contemporary psych.

Hellenistic reference in the proem of Theocritus, Idyll 22

Theocritus' twenty-second idyll is cast in the form of a hymn to the Dioscuri, who are addressed in the proem as saviours of men, horses, and ships. This opening section of the idyll is modelled loosely on the short thirty-third Homeric hymn, and like that hymn contains an expanded account of the twins' rescue of ships about to be lost in a storm. As is hardly surprising, Theocritus in reworking the Homeric hymn draws on other literary antecedents as well, and like other Alexandrian poets makes prominent use of diction borrowed and adapted from the Homeric epics. At the same time, the proem also shares several points of contact, largely overlooked or disputed by previous scholarship, with the poetry of Theocritus' own contemporaries. In the present paper, I shall suggest that in the storm scene of the proem references to Aratus' Phaenomena and Apollonius Rhodius' Argonautica occur in a carefully arranged pattern with potentially significant implications for our understanding of the proem and the idyll as a whole.
