Automated extraction of discourse networks from large volumes of media data
Understanding and tracking societal discourse around essential governance challenges of our times is crucial. One possible heuristic is to conceptualize discourse as a network of actors and policy beliefs. Here, we present an exemplary and widely applicable automated approach to extract discourse networks from large volumes of media data, as a bipartite graph of organizations and beliefs connected by stance edges. Our approach leverages various n…
Attitudes to language and bilingualism in residential care for older persons in Ireland
Language as a primary vehicle for communication and cognition is intimately linked to the construction of identities and social relationships, and to social participation and inclusion. By means of appraisal analysis (a tool grounded in Systemic Functional Linguistics) of interview data, we explored attitudes to language(s), speakers and language use in a nursing home for older people in Ireland, where a large proportion of residents and staff ar…
Herausforderungen beim Verfassen von Texten in der Sekundarstufe – Eine differenzielle Untersuchung nach Migrationshintergrund und Familiensprachen
Während die empirische Bildungsforschung literale Kompetenzen wie Lesen und Orthographie an weiterführenden Schulen recht umfassend in den Blick nimmt, gibt es vergleichsweise wenige Studien, die Texttiefenmerkmale untersuchen. Unser Beitrag analysiert instruktionale und argumentative Texte einer Stichprobe von Lernenden ( N = 208) in Jahrgang 9 an nichtgymnasialen Schulformen und nimmt dabei differentielle Analysen nach Migrationshintergrund und…
Conceptualizations of aging and cognitive competence
Inviting participants to share their experiences of cognitive testing can reveal valuable information on how they conceptualize cognition and aging, as well as the testing process itself. Reflections may also reveal potential dementia worry. Evaluations and accounts are closely related to face-saving acts
The role of consistency in use of morphosyntactic forms in child-directed speech in the acquisition of Irish, a minority language undergoing rapid language change
Irish is a rapidly changing minority language spoken as the main community language in some areas of the officially Irish-speaking Gaeltacht regions in Ireland. We analyse narratives from 17 parent–child dyads, living in one such area. All children, aged 3–6;4, had high exposure to the local variety of Irish. The input quality was measured by specifying consistency and accuracy of use of morphosyntactic forms in parental narratives directed to th…
Preventing wound reoccurance using compression garments in vulneralbe populations
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)
Avoiding interactional conflict in dementia
Sociolinguistic research in the general population has established the existence of gender differences in the social use of language. In particular, it has been noted that women use more markers of politeness, small talk and structural devices (e.g. minimal responses, tag questions) to help maintain their conversations. Analysis of interactions involving people with dementia (PWD) suggests that these gender based differences were still present in…
Feminisms
This chapter examines publications which provide new feminist interventions in debates that have occupied a prominent place in feminist theory since the inception of the women’s movement and that, in the new millennium, continue to inspire renewed debates across theory, practice and activism. The chapter is divided into five sections: 1. Introduction; 2. Introspection: Examining Narratives of Feminism, which reviews Clare Hemmings’ Why Stories Ma…
Aging with French
An Idiosyncratic Case of /r/ Disorder
In this paper we report on the case of a 9;8-year-old male, who had been treated for a variety of speech problems over several years, but retained an idiosyncratic set of realizations for target English /r/. His target accent was general Southern USA English, which is fully rhotic in all positions in word structure. Speech data were recorded in a variety of tasks, different situations, and with different interlocutors (including reading aloud, pr…
Mutation in Welsh
The acquisition of the Rhotic Consonants by Welsh-English bilingual children
This article reports on a study into the acquisition of Welsh and English phonology in Welsh-English bilingual children. It concentrates on the acquisition of the rhotic consonants, that is the trilled-r of Welsh and the approximant- r of English. The trilled-r shows differential patterns of acquisition depending on the age and language dominance of the subjects. It also demonstrates a wide range of substitutions, and it is argued that some of th…
The acquisition of the lateral fricative in WelshEnglish bilinguals
This article reports on a study into the acquisition of Welsh phonology in bilingual Welsh-English children. It concentrates on the acquisition of the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative, which showed a wide range of substitutions, and differential patterns of development dependent on the dominant language of the subjects, and the position within the word of the target. Various substitution strategies are described, including fricatives, and fr…
The realisation of schwa plus underlying /r/ and /n/ in a local dialect of the Palatinate
Barry (1995a) presents data from Standard German which, among other things, illustrates the two different schwa vowels found in that variety. Barry's acoustic analysis demonstrates that orthographic final '-e' has a regularly closer central vowel than orthographic final '-er', and that the latter normally has no closing r-consonant. Barry, however, did not present data to examine which variety of schwa was found before orthographic '-r-' when the…
