Moving towards peace, compassion and empathy through semiotic enquiry
In our interconnected world, exposure to hate, fear, violence and adversarial communication is commonplace. Yet, this exposure underscores the urgent need for a more just, peaceful, and inclusive society. While research stresses the importance of nurturing peace, compassion and empathy for enhanced well-being and social justice, these three terms are rarely discussed at length in linguistics and communication studies. Little systematic work explo…
Empathic listening as a social semiotic practice within the tradition of Nonviolent Communication
This article investigates empathic listening as practised in the tradition of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), noting that this tradition is understood as a designed register of interpersonal connection, “concerned with progress toward a better world” ( Hughes 2018 ). In the tradition, empathy is considered “a respectful understanding of what others are experiencing, ... we give to others the time and space they need to express themselves fully an…
Assessment of Accuracy of Overall Energy Expenditure Measurements for the Fitbit Charge HR 2 and Apple Watch
Objectives: In this study, we sought to determine the accuracy of energy expenditure (EE) esti- mation for the Fitbit Charge HR 2 (Fitbit) and the Apple Watch. Design: An observational study. Methods: Thirty young adults (15 men and 15 women, aged 23.5 ± 2.96 years) completed the Bruce treadmill protocol. We measured gross EE by a PARVO metabolic cart (MetCart) and concurrently estimated by the Fitbit and Apple Watch. We calculated concordance co…
Mapping Genres, Mapping Culture
The purpose of this book is to contribute to our understanding of genre and genre variation in the Japanese language in order to bring to consciousness the nature of Japanese culture and the presuppositions, norms and values found within Japanese society. This type of knowledge enables interventions and agency, as knowing how language works within a culture makes it possible to consciously accept it or to influence and shape it into the future. T…
Objectivity” and “Hard News” Reporting Across Cultures
This paper is concerned with comparisons of the language of hard news reporting across languages and cultures. Within English-language journalism, authorial “neutrality” and use of the “inverted pyramid” structure are frequently seen to be distinctive features of the modern hard news report and one of the grounds by which journalists assert the “objectivity” of their writing. This paper proposes a framework for investigating these notions linguis…
Theme unit analysis
According to Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) theory the structural shape of the clause in English is determined by the three metafunctions — ideational, interpersonal and textual (Halliday 1994:179). In Japanese, the situation is similar as far as ideational (Teruya 1998) and interpersonal (Fukui 1998) meanings are concerned. With respect to the textual metafunction, however, the situation appears to be different. Due to the presence of elli…
