Faces do not lie: Examining the contagion of anger expressed in negative online hotel reviews and its mediating role in avoidance intention
Although still limited in number, recent studies have shown that emotions expressed in online hotel reviews may be transferred to prospective customers. However, this transfer has mainly been examined at the broader dimensional levels of valence and arousal, and only in relation to verbally expressed emotions. Building on this literature, our study adopts a discrete-emotion approach to examine the spread of anger from reviewers to prospective cus…
Shaping learners’ national imaginary through discourse of resilience in locally-developed Iranian ELTtextbooks: A multimodal critical perspective
Education in post-revolutionary Iran has long served as a means to reinforce the state ideology. This study examines the overt and covert presence of state socio-political agenda in a series of Iranian locally-produced English language textbooks (ELT) ( Vision ) by analyzing textual and visual representations of Iranian and global societies, employing Machin and Mayr’s Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA). Findings reveal a distinctive f…
Neoliberalism discourse research in language education: A systematic review of trends, themes, and future directions
Three decades of linguistic studies on tourism and hospitality: A bibliometric review of the literature
Tourism and hospitality have been pivotal areas for linguistic research due to the abundance of linguistic data available within these fields. However, there has been a notable lack of review studies offering a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art. To fill this gap, this study employs bibliometric methods to sketch the scientific landscape of Linguistic Studies on Tourism and Hospitality (LSTH), analysing 751 journal articles pu…
A multimethod inquiry into translators’ emotions in dealing with socio-politically sensitive news texts
Neoliberal discourse in locally developed Malaysian English language textbooks: A Comparison Between the Pre- And Post-Neoliberal Eras
Studies on the discourse of neoliberalism in English language textbooks (ELT) concur that neoliberalism originated from the west: thus, its values are imported into the rest of the world through the textbooks produced by western global ELT producers. Instead, the current study shows that neoliberalism is not necessarily an entirely foreign concept in the non-western context and, in particular, in Malaysia, but is already present amongst the non-w…
The Discursive Construction of Victimhood in Anti- and Pro-LGBTQ+ Rhetoric on Malaysian Social Media
While symbolic elites have traditionally monopolized victimhood discourse through discursive power, social media has disrupted these dynamics by enabling ordinary individuals to deploy such discourse, creating a landscape where victimhood emerges as a contested terrain of ideological values. Despite substantial scholarly attention to the invocation of victimhood in justifying dominant ideologies within institutional and top-down contexts, literat…
Two Decades of Audiovisual Translation Studies: A Bibliometric Literature Review
Audiovisual Translation (AVT) studies have been among the burgeoning disciplines in translation studies. Although much progress has been made in AVT, there has been little scholarship heretofore to sketch a comprehensive understanding of the domain mapping using bibliometric analysis. Based on a total of 1,424 journal articles collected from the Web of Science Core Collection (SSCI, A&HCI, and ESCI) and Scopus from 2002 to 2022, the publication t…
A Socio-Cognitive Account of Ideological Manipulation in Chinese Translation of Political Opinion Articles
In the realm of politics and media, particularly in situations of conflict, translation plays a critical role in resisting the discourse of news texts towards the socio-political correctness of the target society. Translation researchers have long focused on ideological manipulation and related techniques, notably in the translation of political news, linking ideologically motivated translation techniques to their macro functions (socio-political…
Asymmetrical portrayal of gender within professional, recreational, and domestic spaces in locally developed Pakistani English Language Textbooks: A multimodal analysis
A critical enthymematic deconstruction of anti/pro LGBTQ+ arguments on Malaysian social media
Malaysian social media platforms have been a dynamic space where both supporters and opponents of LGBTQ+ rights voice their opinions, either contesting or reinforcing discriminatory sentiments. We conducted an enthymematic deconstruction of arguments on two popular Malaysian social media platforms, expanding the concept of topoi within the Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA) to explore how various standpoints are (de)legitimised. The findings sho…
Effect of text type on translation effort in human translation and neural machine translation post-editing processes: Evidence from eye-tracking and keyboard-logging
Text type influences the translator’s decision in taking an overall translation approach and consequently selecting translation techniques. While the majority of studies to date have investigated this phenomenon as an end-product, the effect of text types on the translation process has received little attention in the area of cognitive translation processes, especially from an empirical perspective. To fill this gap, the current study employed ey…
Exercising agency: A Bourdieusian account of Iranian feminist translators
In spite of the challenges imposed on practices of feminist cultural production in restrictive states, feminist activists have contributed to speaking about the needs of women through their writings and translations. While earlier studies have highlighted the role of translators in communicating external feminist ideas, factors that have contributed to their agency remain unexplored. The present study, framed by Bourdieu’s theory, is an attempt t…
Ideological manipulation in political news translation: An actor-network perspective
News translation, and particularly political news translation, is part of a complex recontextualization process in which the target text is often manipulated ideologically to meet the socio-political norms and dominant ideologies of the target society. Many studies have addressed this phenomenon using different textual and discursive approaches, including critical discourse analysis. However, these studies have mostly tackled the ideological mani…
Translation and feminism in post-Islamic revolution Iran: A sociological approach
With the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran, the pre-revolution secular modernisation process was interrupted and, as believed by the liberal activists, the Islamisation of rules and domination of political Islamic views in the society imposed restrictions on Iranian women. This led specifically part of the urban, educated middle-class women to be inclined toward secular-oriented feminism in their struggle against inequalities. Inspired by Luhmann’s…
Locally-developed vs. Global Textbooks: An Evaluation of Cultural Content in Textbooks Used in ELT in Malaysia
Adopting the Common European Framework Reference in ELT led the Malaysian Ministry of Education to replace locally developed textbooks with imported (global) coursebooks. Given the Malaysian English curriculum emphasis on learners’ intercultural skills, the question that arises is whether imported coursebooks meet local learners’ needs. The current study addresses this based on an analysis of the cultural content in English Form 1, a locally deve…
Representation of Muslim Minorities in Politicians’ Discourse: Jacinda Ardern vs. Donald Trump
In Muslim-minority countries where Islam and Muslims are often framed negatively in the media, the discourse of political leaders can play an important role in breaking down the dichotomization between Muslims and non-Muslims, especially in the West. Based on an integration of different critical discourse analysis (CDA) approaches, this study analyses the characteristics of the discourse of Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand Prime Minister, and Donald T…
Translation as re-narration: A case of Iran’s nuclear program as circulated in the Western and Iranian media
Media plays a central role in regulating the flow of information and informing the public of what happens in the world, particularly in the cases where the audience does not possess direct knowledge of the truth of what is happening. As such, media (and particularly translation) is a space for various agencies to “reframe” what they believe is not (close to) the “truth,” and in this way it prevents the circulation of “un-true” ideologies in the s…
