Communicative behaviour studies require using numerous methodological approaches depending on the goal and tasks of research. Linguopolitical personology conceives of political communication as an institutionalized phenomenon aimed at holding power or winning the race for power, which allows researchers to employ a particular toolset to explore a politician’s communicative behaviour. This article seeks to provide effective methods in crafting communicative types of political personality. A typology hinges upon cross-disciplinary criteria and includes seven types - The Defender, The Statist, The Servant, The Warrior, The Blame Maker, The Ruler, The Idealist, each commensurate with an overarching communicative goal and dependent lexical sets. It is tested by scrutinizing the British parliamentary debates of 2010-2022 and determining the strength of a type correlation by noun and verb frequency; to that end research exploits the Sketch Engine content analysis program. The proposed methodological algorithm, if supplemented by delving into strategies and tactics, can be regarded as a universal tool for analyzing a politician’s communicative behaviour holistically.

This article investigates the use and pragmatic functions of the swear word fuck in the “BoJack Horseman” produced by Netflix and bridges the gap in the linguistic research on this particular TV show. Incorporating corpus linguistics tools, the BoJack Horseman Corpus was compiled and the lemma fuck has been investigated and analysed from the multimodal perspective. It occurs six times, just once per every season of the show, every time when the interlocutor expresses strong emotions, usually towards the eponymous character. The use of a swear word provides a vent for anger, disappointment, or surprise and creates an extralinguistic narrative frame, due to its economic use by the writers of the show.

Background. The effectiveness of oral corrective feedback (OCF) in language learning is influenced by learners' comprehension and response to various OCF techniques. Therefore, it is essential for teachers to consider learners' preferences for OCF strategies. Purpose. This quantitative study aimed to investigate the preferences of Thai as a foreign language (TFL) learners for ten commonly discussed types of OCF. Specifically, it examined whether these preferences are influenced by four learner variables: proficiency level, first language (L1), foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA), and foreign language enjoyment (FLE). Methods. The study involved 288 university students from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean TFL settings, and the data from questionnaires were analysed using appropriate statistical methods. Results. The findings indicate that, regardless of proficiency level, L1, FLCA, or FLE level, learners prefer more explicit OCF techniques, such as metalinguistics feedback and explicit correction. However, Korean undergraduates scored lower in the majority of OCF strategies (i.e., ignoring, elicitation, recast, explanation, and public feedback) compared to the other participants. The MANOVA analysis revealed significant differences in ignore, peer correction, recast, and private feedback based on proficiency level and L1 background. Although the differences between the FLE and FLCA approaches were not statistically significant, high FLE and FLCA groups tended to prefer more OCF strategies than the low groups. Conclusion. This study has significant implications for instructional practices in TFL settings and for L2 lecturers in the classroom. By understanding learners' preferences for OCF, educators can tailor their instructional approaches to meet the specific needs of their students.

The article focuses on the French summaries of BA & MA theses written by students of French philology at the University of Wrocław between 2015 and 2020. The objective is to determine to what extent the linguistic, discursive and intellectual dimensions of this short academic text constitute, for the students, a source of challenges during the writing process. The general conclusion is that very often the summary of a diploma thesis looks like a report detailing the activities of the student, instead of summarizing an intellectual trajectory and informing of the results of the research.

This article outlines a first attempt at analysing counter-media publishing through the lens of remix theory. We concentrate on two key concepts—appropriation and authorship—which have a permanent standing in the remix research literature. To support our theoretical analysis, we investigate the coverage of two cases in the Finnish right-wing counter-media online publication MV-lehti. Our findings enable new readings on the nature of both counter-media work and remix culture. In fact, counter-media publishing leans more in the direction of remix culture—which is based on the act of using pre-existing materials to produce something new—than towards traditional journalistic convention, with its rules and ethical guidelines. MV-lehti’s practice of combining and layering different material is discernibly political, often resembling media activism. Our study provides the argument that counter to the utopian democratising assumptions of remix culture, the proliferation of remix practices has also given antidemocratic actors the means to challenge collectively and institutionally supported ideas of knowledge and justice. Counter-media publishing is perhaps democratising in that it offers the means to participate, but these antagonistic actors also remix news to undermine liberal-democratic ideals and social justice. Evidently, remix practices can be co-opted for a reactionary agenda.

Abstract In traditional nasal surgery, surgeons are prone to fatigue and jitter by holding the endoscope for a long‐time. Some complex operations require assistant surgeon to assist with holding the endoscope. To address the above problems, the authors design a remote centre of motion based nasal robot, and propose a voice‐based robot control method. First, through the operation space analysis of nasal surgery, the design scheme of the robot based on RCM mechanism is proposed. On this basis, the design parameters of the robot are analysed to complete the entire design of robot. Then, considering that the surgeon's hands are occupied by surgical instruments during complex surgical operations, a voice‐based robot control method is proposed. This method obtains direction instructions from surgeons by analysing the movement of the endoscopic image. Afterward, a commercial speech recognition interface is used to realise the offline grammar controlwords lib compatible with both Chinese and English, and the overall strategy of robot control is proposed. Finally, an experimental platform for virtual robot control is established, and the voice‐based robot control experiment is performed. The results show that the proposed voice‐based control method is feasible, and it provides guidance for the subsequent development and control of the actual robot system.

Com o surgimento da internet, houve um deslocamento no processo de veiculação musical, antes restrita ao universo radiofônico e televisivo. Propomos uma reflexão acerca dessa descentralização possibilitada pelas Redes Sociais de Informação (RSI). Objetivamos identificar o papel delas no lançamento de novos artistas e na veiculação e recepção musical. Trabalhamos com pesquisa bibliográfica a fim de responder à questão: qual a relação das RSI com a veiculação e recepção musical no cenário brasileiro atual? Chegamos à conclusão de que as RSI revolucionaram o mercado musical, desde o momento da concepção da canção, até o processo de retroalimentação do compositor, proporcionado pela reação dos usuários.

This article elaborates eponyms as an object of a special professional text and its modern linguistic problems. The author based on the definitions of scientists tried to determine the level of investigation of eponyms in modern linguistics. The following linguistic problems of eponyms were determined: a) the problem of naming an eponym, due to several scientists who are directly related to a discovery; b) problems of writing eponyms with upper or lower case letters; consideration of eponym and deonym (deonymization) indifferently; c) confusion of the use of different scientists who have identical or similar surnames/names for one eponym; d) the incorrect pronunciation of international eponyms in different countries; e) the name of the same conceptual eponym is different in different countries and other rel-evant language problem issues were considered in this article. The author at the end of the article rec-ommends the use of transcriptions in the compilation of eponym dictionaries in various fields of science as structural complex eponyms create certain difficulties in reading. The revealed language problems of eponyms indicate the perspective and relevance of further research of it in the field of linguistics and philology.

Introduction. The paper focuses on the study of the language and culture of Bulgarian expatriate community in Ukraine based on the achievements of the Ukrainian linguistsin collecting the Bulgarian idioms in Odesa, Zaporizhya, Mykolaiv and Kropyvnytsky regions.The author pays attention to the linguistic publications from the end of the XX to the first decade of the XXI century related closely or proximately to the Bulgarian language island in Ukraine.Purpose. The paper aims at revealing and describing the lingual situation with Bulgarian language island based on the Ukrainian periodical publications of the XX – beginning ofthe XXI century.Methods. The study of the Bulgarian language island in Ukrainian periodical publications of the XX-XXI centuries is based on the descriptive method, the method of sociolinguistic analysis as well as empirical method.Results. Studying the status of the Bulgarian expatriate community in the contemporary Ukrainian linguistics the author has come to the following statements: the completely topical repertoire of the articles published at the end of the XX – the first decade of the XXI century and related to the Bulgarian dialects in Ukraine could be divided into six groups. They are: origin, evolution, and grammatical peculiarities of the Bulgarian migrants’ dialects; vocabulary and phraseology of the Bulgarian idiom in Ukraine; lingual interactions of the Ukrainian Bulgarians with other ethnic groups; linguocultural and ethnolinguistic issues of the Bulgarian language island; teaching Bulgarian language at school in Ukraine; history and current status of the Bulgarian philology in Ukraine. The most important names of the researchers who contributed to the study of the Bulgarian idioms’ functioning in the Ukrainian journals have been introduced in the paper.Conclusion. The paper emphasizes very important scholars’ achievements in onomatology analyzing the vocabulary of the Bulgarian rituals, interlanguage correspondence, semantic accommodation of loan units, and studying the archaic language features preserved in the Bulgarian dialects in Ukraine.

Przedmiotem rozważań w niniejszym artykule uczyniono imiona i nazwy zawodów, a dokładnie proces i jego odbiór w związku z tworzeniem żeńskich imion i nazw zawodów od nazw męskich, często od dawna już istniejących. Przyglądanie się współczesnym tendencjom poprowadzi do różnych wniosków, które niewątpliwie mają związek z obecnym postrzeganiem przez użytkowników języka naturalnego, rzeczywistości, hierarchii ważności współczesnego człowieka czy obecnych relacji społecznych, które tworzą ludzie. I to ludzie (zwykli użytkownicy języka, nie specjaliści), co pokazuje praktyka, decydują o ostatecznym kształcie komunikacji językowej. Dotyczy to także relacji między płciami, ich sposobu rozumowania, komunikowania się, przypisywania sobie wzajemnie cech i roli w społeczeństwie.

This article presents a critical discussion of Jodi Dean’s (2016) book “Crowds and Party”. I pay particular attention to her discussion of crowds that is influenced by psychoanalysis. Dean has put forward an important argument for the affectivity within crowds that may be transformed into a Communist Party that is characterised by a similar affective infrastructure. I suggest that Dean’s discussion of affect is slightly vague at times and may be supplemented with Sigmund Freud’s work on affect. In contrast to Dean, who stresses the collectivity and deindividuation of the crowd, I argue that the crowd needs to be thought of as a place where individuality and collectivity come together and remain in tension.

The papers collected in this volume study the function and meaning of narrative texts from a variety of perspectives. The word 'text' is used here in the broadest sense of the term: it denotes literary books, but also oral tales, speeches, newspaper articles and comics. One of the purposes of this volume is to discover what these different texts have in common. The texts are approached from four main perspectives: New Philology, Linguistics, Iconography and Reception studies. Contributors come from diverse disciplines, such as Classical Studies, Medieval Studies, English literature, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Cultural Studies, Art History, Linguistics, and Communication and Information Studies, all united in a common purpose to understand the workings of narrative texts.
