Restorative Justice Principles and Practices and the Discourse of Respect
This study aims to explore discourses of respect in the Education Department of a Young Offenders Institution (HMYOI X). The research builds upon the existing literature on the concept of respect both in restorative justice and in prisons to develop a deeper understanding of perspectives on respect in custodial education. More specifically, the study examines a self-narrative elicited from a teacher working in a YOI in England to investigate the …
The Expression of Epistemic Uncertainty Through the Use of Distal Demonstratives in Russian and Chinese
In both Russian and Chinese, there are conditional connectives that appear in the apodosis of conditional sentences and are derived from non-proximal demonstratives. This work will concentrate on the Russian conditional connective to and the Chinese conditional connective nà, which share a similar development from distal demonstratives and exhibit similar syntactic, semantic and pragmatic properties. The analysis will take into account that both …
Designing Russian Teaching Material for University Students
The aim of this study is to present some teaching materials that were developed to teach contemporary aspects of the Russian language. The methodology is based on the recognition of the central role played by spoken language in the construction of language teaching syllabuses. The first part of the study describes the rationale and justifies the design of the teaching units; the second part presents the text of a mock lesson
Deictic and Epistemic Distance in Polish
This work investigates the range of pragmatic contexts in which the Polish distal deictic TAM ‘there’ appears and argues that these environments share the feature of epistemic uncertainty, which is the semantic common denominator to all sub-modes of irrealis. The use of TAM in contexts of epistemic uncertainty is motivated by its central meaning. TAM can not only convey semantic distance (spatial) with respect to a proposition, but also epistemic…
Language shift and language revival in Crimea
This article presents observations and findings from an ongoing research on language revival among Italian new speakers in Crimea. Victim of Stalin's mass deportations of minorities in the 1940s, the community experienced severe physical, demographic, social and cultural dislocation that led inexorably to language shift towards Russian. Through the use of ethnographic research methods, including participant observations and in-depth, semi-structu…
Trends and issues in language policy and language education in Crimea
This work identifies and discusses developments in language policy and language education in Crimea since the peninsula’s incorporation into the Russian Federation in March 2014. Working on the assumption that post-Soviet reforms and changes in language and education policies cannot be understood outside their historical context, the article starts by briefly outlining some of the defining features of the historical and sociolinguistic situation …
Italian, Ukrainian or Russian? Language and identity in Crimea
This paper presents the results of fieldwork conducted among the small Italian minority living in Kerch, a coastal town in Crimea, between 2012 and 2013. After introducing the socio-historical background and the current situation of the minority, it presents and discusses the attitudes of members of the community towards the different languages which constitute their linguistic repertoires. The research builds on Bourdieu's theoretical approach t…
