Fog of War
Fake news in mainstream war reporting launders atrocity narratives from anonymous officials and ideologically invested sources into accepted public facts, thereby contributing to the initiation and prolongation of armed conflict in democratic societies. Drawing on propaganda theory and the Propaganda Model, this study conceptualizes such reporting as a modern vehicle for war propaganda principles that demonize enemies through atrocity claims and …
Perception and Reinterpretation of English Song Lyrics by Native Speakers of Japanese
Cross-linguistic mondegreens occur when foreign song lyrics are misperceived and reinterpreted in the listener's native language. In Japan, such humorous reinterpretations of non-native song lyrics are known as soramimi (空耳, “mishearing”). Word plays of this kind do not only have an entertaining character for listeners, but they also offer a valuable source to identify and describe potential phonological processes which can be observed in native …
(Neo)liberalizing the state – Privatization of core government competencies
For a few decades now and most prominently promoted by the US, neoliberal economics have been on the rise, epitomized in recent austerity policies with regard to countries that have met financial trouble.

A tale of two cities
The battles for Aleppo (2012–2016) and Mosul (2016–2017) were two intense and brutal sieges, which resulted in 31,000 and 40,000 largely civilian casualties, respectively, as well as hundreds of thousands of refugees. Even though both campaigns were similar in many ways, they received an entirely different media echo. While Aleppo in its final phase was covered almost daily, detailing the suffering of civilians and the brutality of the Syrian gov…
The creative use of English in Japanese punning
Japanese and English share a relatively short but intense history during which the number of English‐based loanwords in Japanese has risen to at least 10 per cent of the entire lexicon. This paper explores the creative uses of English (loan)words in Japanese punning, where homophonic, homonymic and paronymic relations between English words and Japanese phrases play a crucial role in creating amusing ambiguities that arise only due to the peculiar…
