Is It a Southern Thing? Linguistic Stereotyping in Earwitnesses’ Descriptions of Italian Accents
This study examines how linguistic stereotypes affect hearer perceptions of different speakers’ accents focusing on two Italian regional varieties: one from the South and one from the North. Three studies explored the effects of selective attention, confirmation bias, and cultural context. Experiment 1 tested whether focusing on typical linguistic features influenced listeners’ attitudes and descriptions of speakers. Experiment 2 examined how the…
Conceptual similarity and visual metaphor
Different levels of conceptual similarity in equivalent visual structures may determine the way meaning is attributed to images. The degree to which two depicted objects are of the same kind limits interpretive possibilities. In the current research, visual hyponyms (objects of the same kind) were contrasted with visual metaphors and unrelated object pairs. Hyponyms are conceptually more similar than metaphor's source and target, or two unrelated…
Raising Clickworthiness
Deceptive Journalism
Trustworthiness is key in journalism, yet some journalists intentionally deceive their audiences by fabricating sources or inventing news stories altogether. Earlier research suggests that deceitful news articles have characteristics that are different from trustworthy news articles. We aimed to confirm and expand on the existing literature by examining the case of Perdiep Ramesar, an esteemed Dutch journalist until it was discovered in 2014 that…
Incongruity in News Headings
In the rapidly changing news market, quality newspapers are searching for ways to combine established journalistic practices with attractive presentation of their newsprint. On internet news sites, attention-getting headlines are even more important in obtaining readership. This paper investigates the role of incongruity in selection of headings, and recall, recognition, and appreciation of selected news items. In Experiment 1, headlines were wri…
Immediate Attention for Public Speech
Political campaign speeches are deemed influential in winning people's minds and votes. While the language used in such speeches has often been credited with their impact, empirical research in this area is scarce. We report on two experiments investigating how language variables such as rhetorical schemes (e.g., contrast, list of three) and valence framing (using positive vs. negative words) affect immediate attention and consecutive information…
