Diplomatic English and Civic Engagement
This paper explores the educational benefits of introducing English for Diplomacy and Model United Nations (MUN) programs in Italian high schools and universities, particularly for students preparing to participate in the Studenti Ambasciatori alle Nazioni Unite initiatives. Drawing from two workshops conducted in collaboration with the Italian Diplomatic Academy, the study highlights how structured diplomatic language training enhances students’…
Get Peace of Mind with Do-It-Yourself Living Wills
“The automatisation of the core tasks performed by legal practitioners [...] is an ongoing and open-ended process” (Schäfke-Zell & Asmussen, 2019, p. 65). “A host of innovative legal-tech companies have entered the market of legal service providers, presently challenging the lawyers’ monopoly over the practice of the law, and ultimately, altering the mode of production in the legal field” (Caserta, 2020, p. 1). Beginning with these assumptions, t…
Hate Speech, incitamento all’odio, incitación al odio
According to Sandrelli (2019, p. 111), “the multilingual co-drafting process produces equally authentic language versions of the same document in all the EU official languages. However, what actually happens in practice is that EU legislation is drafted in one language (English, in most cases) and is then translated into all the other ones”. Starting from this assumption, the aim of this paper is to investigate a series of hate speech-related EU …
Netlore, Memes and the Pandemic
Starting from the assumption that “(t)he worldwide COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has monopolised news reports and public discussion in traditional media and on social media” (Dynel 2020, 2), this paper explores the relevance memes have had in the COVID-19 emergency (Giordano and Marongiu 2021a; 2021b). Memes represent the vernacular discourse of netizens, or user-created derivatives produced by Internet users belonging to the participatory culture (S…
‘We Are a Global Community’
A socio-rhetorical discourse community consists of a group of people who come together to pursue objectives that predate those of socialization and solidarity, and who aim to develop and maintain their own discoursal characteristics. We have examined MOOCs (Massive Open Online courses) and teacher training educational platforms in order to ascertain whether and to what extent they may be identified as networked learning tools and discourse commun…
Parallel Corpora and ST Analysis
Starting from the assumption that “if corpora are to play a role in the translation professions of tomorrow, it is important that they impact on the education of the students of today” (Bernardini & Castagnoli, 2008, p. 40), this study endeavours to show how translation corpora of parallel texts (in English and in Italian) can be used in a Specialised Translation Master’s degree classroom. The point of departure is to examine parallel or aligned …
“Acting in Accordance with the Ordinary Legislative Procedure…”
The ongoing Pan-European integration process has profoundly influenced the nature of European law and its development, demanding a review of “the ways of how language [...] is materialized” (Gibová, 2009, p. 192). EU multilingualism is thus becoming an intricate concept since “EU translation is [...] becoming the language of Europe” (Gibová, 2009, p. 192) encompassing a supranational view of the world conveyed in EU-wide legislation. Very much in…
