A framework for pragmatic analysis is proposed which treats discourse as a game, with context as a scoreboard organized around the questions under discussion by the interlocutors. The framework is intended to be coordinated with a dynamic compositional semantics. Accordingly, the context of utterance is modeled as a tuple of different types of information, and the questions therein — modeled, as is usual in formal semantics, as alternative sets of propositions — constrain the felicitous flow of discourse. A requirement of Relevance is satisfied by an utterance (whether an assertion, a question or a suggestion) iff it addresses the question under discussion. Finally, it is argued that the prosodic focus of an utterance canonically serves to reflect the question under discussion (at least in English), placing additional constraints on felicity in context. http://dx.doi.org/10.3765/sp.5.6 BibTeX info

Artificial intelligence (AI) holds significant implications for higher education; however, references to AI in the literature are often vague and open to debate. In order to understand how to progress AI-related research and analysis, this critical review systematically searched top higher education journals for references to the term ‘artificial intelligence’. We reviewed definitions and conducted a discourse analysis of included texts. Our findings identify few, confusing definitions and little overt reference to AI as a research object. We delineated two Discourses. The Discourse of imperative change outlines how AI is seen as an inevitable change to which all must respond. Additionally, the Discourse of altering authority describes how texts position AI as decentring the teacher and spreading authority across staff, machines, corporations and students. Our analysis prompts a call for new research foci that attend to the social implications of AI, including tracing accountability in AI-mediated practices and exploring how AI influences learning and teaching relationships.

Abstract The processes of analysing qualitative data, particularly the stage between coding and publication, are often vague and/or poorly explained within addiction science and research more broadly. A simple but rigorous and transparent technique for analysing qualitative textual data, developed within the field of addiction, is described. The technique, iterative categorization (IC), is suitable for use with inductive and deductive codes and can support a range of common analytical approaches, e.g. thematic analysis, Framework, constant comparison, analytical induction, content analysis, conversational analysis, discourse analysis, interpretative phenomenological analysis and narrative analysis. Once the data have been coded, the only software required is a standard word processing package. Worked examples are provided.

This constructionist paper deals with the specialised manifestations that constructions can exhibit and considers two questions: (i) how such specialised manifestations can be linked back to the cognitive architecture of the domain, (ii) whether we can, in this regard, speak about specialised constructions, for which (a) domain-related features regarding form and meaning, and (b) their location within the constructicon will be considered in more depth. More specifically, this study looks at a pilot corpus of Flemish weather reports (domain: meteorology) and performs a corpus-based analysis of existential constructions (Dt. er is/zijn; het is; het wordt) as a case-study. The results of this corpus-based analysis provide deeper insights into the lexicological features of the texts and the ways in which the constructions align with the discourse patterns of this specialised text genre.

Abstract Accelerating global pursuit of sustainable food systems has amplified scholarly interest in the emerging domain of sustainable food entrepreneurship, an interdisciplinary domain at the nexus of environmental sustainability, innovation, and inclusive development. While the term ‘sustainable food entrepreneurship’ remains emergent in academic discourse, it offers a useful conceptual lens to explore how entrepreneurial practices contribute to sustainability transitions in food systems. This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric review of SFE research from 2014 to 2024, synthesizing 422 peer-reviewed publications indexed in the Scopus database. Utilizing VOSviewer and Biblioshiny, the analysis maps publication trends, influential authors, institutional and international collaboration networks, and evolving thematic structures. The findings reveal a significant growth trajectory in SFE scholarship, albeit with pronounced geographic and disciplinary imbalances. Key research clusters highlight emergent areas such as agri-food innovation, circular economy models, food justice, and digital entrepreneurship. However, the study also identifies underrepresentation of Global South perspectives and a lack of integration between theoretical frameworks and empirical patterns. Anchored in the Sustainable Food Entrepreneurship Framework, the Triple Bottom Line, and Stakeholder Theory, this review interprets the intellectual landscape of SFE through a theory-informed lens. The paper offers actionable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers by uncovering structural gaps, innovation hotspots, and collaborative opportunities. It advocates for a more inclusive, theory-driven, and policy-relevant research agenda aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals. This bibliometric synthesis not only contributes to academic discourse but also informs real-world strategies for building equitable and resilient food entrepreneurship ecosystems.

This study investigates how TED speakers linguistically frame humans’ role in fostering sustainable food systems and environmental stewardship. This research explores Positive Discourse Analysis (PDA) based on a self-built corpus of ten TED Talk transcripts (19,151 tokens) selected through keyword filtering (“food,” “sustainability,” “climate change”) and temporal constraints (2019 to 2023). The analysis focuses on the strategic use of the pronoun “we” and modality to interpret collective responsibility and optimism in relation to humans and the environment in the topic of foods. Results reveal that TED speakers adopt inclusive and future-oriented language that reflects PDA principles of optimism and solidarity, using “we” and modality to promote shared commitment and constructive engagement. Further explorations in employing TED Talks as spoken corpora and PDA in ecological discourse research are encouraged.

This article examines the evolution and transformation of the concept of alienation in contemporary digital society. The authors aim not only to analyse the concept’s historical genesis but also to identify its new semantic content in the light of the rapid development of digital technologies. The study begins with an overview of the history of philosophy, focusing on the ideas of G.W.F. Hegel and K. Marx as well as their approaches to understanding alienation as a socio-economic phenomenon. Particular emphasis is placed on Marx’ concepts, which are now assuming new forms due to digitalization. The study’s methodology combines historical-philosophical analysis of classical theories with a critical examination of contemporary technological realities. The authors emphasize that digitalization, while liberating individuals from routine tasks, simultaneously generates novel forms of alienation. Phenomena arising from digitalization transform consciousness by shifting the focus from the depth of thinking to the speed of content consumption. In addition, the article explores the contradictory nature of digital technologies, which serve both as tools for creative self-realization and mechanisms for social control. The study concludes by emphasizing the need to rethink traditional approaches to the phenomenon of alienation. The authors argue that in the digital age, key challenges include the virtualization of social relations, the loss of autonomy under algorithmic governance, and identity crisis. It is highlighted that the outcome of digital transformation depends not on the technologies themselves but on societal value orientations. The article contributes to the discourse on the social consequences of digitalization by offering an interdisciplinary perspective for analysing contemporary challenges.
