Public Language

V članku so predstavljene slovaropisne obravnave novejše leksike v slovenskih in nemških splošnih slovarjih in v posebnih slovarjih novejše leksike. V splošnih slovarjih je novejša leksika obravnavana brez posebnih časovnih kvalifikatorjev ali označena s posebnimi časovnimi kvalifikatorji za različne vrste novejše leksike. Posebni slovarji novejše leksike so časovno omejeni na krajše obdobje, nastajajo pa kot dopolnilo obstoječih slovarjev ali bolj natančni opisi leksike določenega obdobja. V tem primeru posebni slovarji novejše leksike v primerjavi s splošnimi slovarji vsebujejo dodatne informacije o nastanku novejših enot, pojavitvah v različnih gradivnih virih in variantnosti rabe.The article presents the way that new lexis is handled in Slovenian and German general and specialized dictionaries of new lexis. In general dictionaries new lexis has no special time qualifiers and is not labelled with any special time qualifiers for different kinds of new lexis. Specialized dictionari...

Diplomsko delo predstavlja glavne značilnosti jezikovnega stila izbranih avtorjev, ki smo jih pridobili s pomočjo jezikovnostilistične analize. Predstavljena so teoretična izhodišča jezikovnega stila in jezikovne stilistike ter besedilnosti, ki je prav tako pomembna za analizo besedil. V kontekstu interdisciplinarnosti jezikoslovja, literature in novinarskih besedil so pojasnjeni jezikovni pojavi, ki jih najdemo pri vseh izbranih kolumnistih. Za vse je značilna najpogostejše izbrana politična tematika, številna uporaba zvrstno zaznamovanih besed in besednih zvez, dolge sestavljene povedi, na koncu odstavka pa kratka enostavčna poved, v kateri avtor posredno izrazi svoje mnenje. Besedilom prištevamo tudi vseh sedem kriterijev besedilnosti - torej so komunikativna. Analiza je pokazala, da lahko največ vzporednic potegnemo najprej pri jezikovnem stilu N\u27toka in Maje Novak ter pri jezikovnem stilu Grege Repovža in Bernarda Nežmaha.This diploma thesis shows main features of linguistic...

The paper develops a pilot study aiming at finding a methodology for identifying features of journalistic writing profiles. The study is based on capturing dominant discursive tonalities, knowing that journalistic discourse entails public legitimacy. We made use of a series of natural language processing tools as preliminary steps in revealing three egocentric journalistic identities. Based on quantitative analysis, such as syntactic and lexicalsemantic, we put in evidence qualitative pragmatic aspects. The final goal of this study is to configure a tool for automatic analysis of journalistic profiles. We have concentrated on three top Romanian journalists, whose newspaper publications have been monitored over a period of three months and semiautomatically analyzed. As a result, a database with their profiles is collected and interpreted. Such a tool could be of interest to mass-media, but also to specialists in communication and public relations, to political parties and to the public opinion, in general.

This paper provides a proof that anticipation of an economic crisis by analysing public discourses (in particular, speeches on economic issues) is feasible. It proposes a method of text classification and semantic interpretation based on natural language processing techniques that could be used to trace, over a period of time, the print press discourses, with the aim to valuate the perspective of occurrence of crises. Classification is the task of assigning tags (words, expressions) to the texts that make up a corpus. In our case, we were interested to identify among the texts under scrutiny those belonging to classes like financial, economic, nationalism, etc. This approach is sustained by the fact that public discourses can be characterized from a rhetorical perspective, depending on the specific strategies their authors have chosen: orientation to change opinions or to determine action, ratio between rational (logos) and emotional (pathos, etc. We are proposing an automatic analysis of the content of the public language, by using quantitative measures. Our purpose was to develop a computational tool able to offer to researchers in the economic, social or political sciences, but, not less, to the public at large, the possibility to measure the acuity of different accents of a written public discourse (financial, emotional, etc.), as mean to anticipate the threat of financial accidents. Such a tool could help the processes of decision making in the analysis of crisis. Although our analysis used as data the journalistic and economic environments of Romania, it could easily be extrapolated to other languages/countries.

Undoubtedly, e-government can accelerate the rate of information distribution, and add to the number of people who can access and apply the information. But, e-government may have both functional and dysfunctional affects on social justice situations. Access to information can create many opportunities for better use of money, power, and knowledge. E-Government can act as a facilitator for equal access to information, and can empower people in all aspects of social arenas. But the question is, how poor people who do not have enough money, power, and knowledge can enjoy the benefits of e-government and its functional impacts.

It seems that the years of mankind struggle against poverty have ended to a symbolic belief: "We must empower people to stand up against poverty". Empowering people depends on the equal access to cultural, economical, and political opportunities. Equal accessibility to information and knowledge sources, has a key role in developing and maintaining those equal situations. Information can create money, power, and knowledge, and increase human capability. So, any inequality in information distribution is one of the worst kinds of discrimination, which leads to ever-lasting poverty. The central premise of this research is that E-Government can act as a facilitator for equal access to information, empower people in all aspects of social arenas, and as a result, strengthen the poverty eradication process. To explain this hypothesis, a model was introduced, which showed how discrimination leads to poverty and inactive participation in social life. In another model, empowerment, equal access to opportunities, and their impacts on poverty eradication were developed. Finally, a comprehensive model emphasizing on the unique affect of e-government on reforming the public involvement level was suggested. The model shows how e-government results in proactive participation of people in social arenas and public policy processes.
