Multimodal news discourse and Covid-19
This study of UK online news articles about COVID-19 in Italy builds upon prior work by Filmer and Riggs. Using multimodal analysis including DNVA, I analyse the interplay between a) specific stylistic features in headlines and ledes, and b) initial images, in framing Italy and its early experience of the pandemic. These elements often contribute to portraying Italy as struggling, and contribute to alarmist frames more generally. The findings sug…
Verbal and visual communication in constructive news across cultures
A global but under-recognized phenomenon, constructive news is an alternative to predominantly negative news. While it is known to have positive effects on readers, the nuts and bolts of the language and images that achieve these effects are under-researched. Drawing on theories and approaches from metaphor studies, news translation studies and (multimodal) discourse analysis, this article compares the use of verbal and visual/multimodal metaphor…
The Light Inside
COVID-19 and the lockdown are not the worst things to have been imposed upon the people with whom I work. In fact, their lives marinated in childhood sexual trauma, abuse, neglect, family violence, severe mental ill health, and/or disability, have prepared them well for isolation, self-reliance, and uncertainty. Deep wells of resilience, coping skills and an outlook on life formed in the shadow of trauma has enabled these women to manage the impa…

How online news headlines and accompanying images ‘translate’ a violent event
In this article, I examine UK, Swiss and Spanish online news articles that report on a violent event (Nice, France, 14 July 2016) and that were published on the first day of the news cycle. I focus in particular on the language of the headlines, and on accompanying visual material, as this would have been likely to be ‘read’ with each headline. These textual and visual elements translate the event as newsworthy and as a terrorist act. Differences…
Social statistics
To acquire social conventional knowledge, children must distinguish between behaviors that are practiced by groups of people versus those that are practiced by individuals. How do children infer the scope (i.e., level of generality) of social behavior? Prior work has addressed this question by focusing on the cues or instruction that adults provide to children. The current research takes a novel approach by examining whether children form scope i…
The role of stylistic features in constructing representations of Muslims and France in English online news about terrorism in France
Part of a larger study on style and cultural representation in the online news of three European countries, this article examines a corpus of news articles from the online versions of The Guardian and The Telegraph about the terrorist attack that took place in Nice, France in July 2016. Specifically, modality, use of the term ‘jihad', and treatment of ‘integration' and of Muslims are analyzed, and instances of alliteration and metaphor observed, …
Developmental changes in children’s normative reasoning across learning contexts and collaborative roles
What influences children's normative judgments of conventional rules at different points in development? The current study explored the effects of two contextual factors on children's normative reasoning: the way in which the rules were learned and whether the rules apply to the self or others. Peer dyads practiced a novel collaborative board game comprising two complementary roles. Dyads were either taught both the prescriptive (i.e., what to do…
When you’ve seen one, have you seen them all? Children’s memory for general and specific learning episodes
In any learning situation, children must decide the level of generality with which to encode information. Cues to generality may affect children's memory for different components of a learning episode. In this research, we investigated whether 1 cue to generality, generic language, affects children's memory for information about social categories and specific individuals. In Study 1, preschool-aged children (n = 40), but not school-aged children …
