{"title":"A Cognitive Study on Naming Mechanisms of QQ Nicknames","authors":"Ma Jinge, Xiaolong Li","doi":"10.11648/j.cls.20230902.11","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11648/j.cls.20230902.11","url":null,"abstract":": Language is the carriage of ideas. Social reality pushes the advancement of language, and language reflects social reality. As the world has entered into the Age of Information, people are exposed to digital screens and online social media. Nowadays, people, especially young people, lay great emphasis on not only their real-life individuality but also their online images. Among all the social media apps, QQ is favored by Chinese people for a long time with over 530 million accounts. With fewer requirements in making nicknames, the naming mechanisms of QQ nicknames provide an interesting perspective for cognitive and linguistic study. Nicknames on social media are regarded as a mutation of people’s traditional names, allowing people to extend their creativity and project their personalities on the nicknames. This research chooses the QQ nicknames of the Grade 2020 undergraduates at Hohai University as research objectives. To find out the feature of the nicknames of the target group and explore the naming mechanisms underlying the nicknames, first, the essay goes through previous studies on the naming mechanisms and absorbs related research experience, and second, establishes a theoretical framework that includes three models: Event-domain Cognitive Model (ECM), the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CM 1 ), and the Conceptual Metonymy Theory (CM 2 ). After collecting 255 QQ nicknames and establishing a closed corpus of the nicknames, this paper makes reasonable categorization for further study. To solve the rest of the research problems, a thorough analysis is made and two compound models are established. Results show that the QQNE+CM 1 Model is the most commonly seen naming mechanism of the target group. At the end of the paper, a discussion and evaluation of the entire research are done. This essay provides a new aspect for understanding the naming mechanisms of the young generation and may be conducive to further related studies.","PeriodicalId":310449,"journal":{"name":"Communication and Linguistics Studies","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133014481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Religious Values in the Rowa Traditional Ceremony in Manggarai Communities in Flores","authors":"Yosef Demon, Yohanes Sehandi","doi":"10.11648/j.cls.20230901.13","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11648/j.cls.20230901.13","url":null,"abstract":": This study aims to investigate religious values in the traditional Rowa ceremony or funeral ceremony for the Manggarai community in Flores. The Rowa traditional ceremony is a series of ceremonies for the death of a person starting from the ceremony of bathing the body, fixing the coffin, releasing and burial of the body. The utterances at the Rowa traditional ceremony are a means of presenting themselves to the Manggarai people before each other, their ancestors and God. The traditional speech in the Rowa traditional ceremony is in the form of a poem called torok tae. As a poem, torok tae has a variety of traditional languages, connotative word choices and has a special semantic meaning. This study used qualitative research methods. Data was collected using the listening and speaking method and perfected by the observing and speaking technique involving speaking, taking notes and recording the entire series of Rowa traditional ceremonies. The results of the study prove that the utterances in the Rowa traditional ceremony have religious values which include the values of trust, reconciliation and safety. The value of belief states belief in the Highest Being (God) in cultural terms addressed Mori, Mori Dewa, Dewa Mori Ngaran Jari, Jari Dewa Mori Ngaran, Mori Ngaran and anthropomorphic greeting Ende Wa. Belief in the existence of wakar souls, ase kae which revive humans and the existence of life after death. The value of reconciliation states the restoration of the vertical relationship between God the Creator and humans as His creations. The value of salvation is a form of recognition by the Manggarai people for God's holiness, God's protection and new life after death.","PeriodicalId":310449,"journal":{"name":"Communication and Linguistics Studies","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130577372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hybridity help us reading and scrutinizing postcolonial texts, which thus reveals issues of intermixing, mode of resistance and voices of the marginalized. Accordingly, this paper tries to show hybridity in a postcolonial situation, by scrutinizing Heat and Dust, a postcolonial Indian novel in English. It has used the critical arguments and concepts of theorists, basically of Homi K. Bhabha, who expounds his ideas on hybridity in his seminal work, Location of Culture (1994). Applying descriptive-qualitative method, the study shows the contemporary world embraces East and West are inextricably intertwined and hybrid in their culture, language and identity. Heat and Dust explores hybridity, one of the key elements of postcolonialism, and throughout the novel the writer explicitly and implicitly expounds cross-culturalism, interdependency and coexistence between the two cultural elements, colonizer and colonized, Britain and India. In this analysis it is revealed that characters, basically western characters, as the major narrative of the novel is from this view, transform and change in terms of their identity, culture and even outlook. The analysis brings forth how the two entities, colonizer-colonized are intermingled and interdependent, instead of the notion of binary opposition, harsh category, and depicts India, both in its colonial and postcolonial period home as well as strange to westerners.","PeriodicalId":310449,"journal":{"name":"Communication and Linguistics Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128639369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Possibilities to Reinvent Digital Journalism to Face the Challenges of the New Technological Times","authors":"Ricardo Uhry, K. Caetano","doi":"10.11648/J.CLS.20210703.12","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11648/J.CLS.20210703.12","url":null,"abstract":"Because it involves constant change, the new technological times bring challenges: in addition to the pandemic crisis that affects everyone, among the tensions is a disruptive scenario in which platforming, algorithms, and datafication have emerged, which are related to the abuse of corporations, to which is added the crisis of journalism, challenges that require digital reinvention. Other communication problems can be indicated in a map of the communicative relations that are established and in which issues such as misinformation, sensationalism, consumerism, and pessimism can be located, to which solution alternatives are proposed. At the same time that there is crisis, promising possibilities arise such as mobile journalism, data journalism, longform journalism, experimental journalism, and promising possibilities such as adaptive journalism, sustainable journalism, experiential journalism, in addition to experiments such as artistic journalism, among others that stand alongside the consolidated practices of high-tech journalism involving platforms, human-algorithm hybrid journalism, robotic and AI journalism, of which empirical examples stand out. It arrives at the issue of hyper mediations and, moving forward, reflects on the possibilities offered by public space, regulation, and an international contract for the Internet. The methodological approach is essayistic and based on bibliographic review, and uses, as sources of evidence of the empirical cases referred to, journalistic documentation online, available on the Web. Thus, seeking to face such tensions, the purpose of this paper is to focus on possibilities of reinventing journalism through promising practices that highlight digital technologies, examining journalistic robots, use of artificial intelligence, algorithms, and other journalistic practices. As a result, several promising possibilities for the reinvention of journalism can be highlighted: (i) journalistically innovating on the Web so that it becomes a public space that allows citizen communication; (ii) consolidating the international movement to sign an Internet principles contract that includes digital journalism; (iii) contributing to improving the experience of both the communicators and the enjoyment of the interlocutors, among other imaginative possibilities and consolidated practices. Seeking a tension between these positions, we consider focusing on promising experimental practices that emphasize digital technologies, examining journalist robots, algorithms, and other journalistic experimental practices. It follows that the challenge of reinvention is to develop communicators' critical digital skills and the ability to sensitize interlocutors to feel from the other's perspective. Digital journalism can make use of different possibilities to face the challenges in new times.","PeriodicalId":310449,"journal":{"name":"Communication and Linguistics Studies","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116591012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Without learning it one cannot cope up with the rapidly developing world. For non-native, schools are the only places where one can fulfill the dream of learning any second language, especially English language. However, in non-native countries, the aspirants of English language learning face many factors that cause hindrances or make the dreams possible of acquiring it. In schools, ESL teachers are considered the key personalities who make English language learning possible or impossible for their students. If the ESL teachers will demotivate the under studies, then who will make the targeted language possible to learn for them. Obviously they will not learn with passion or quit the learning process. The main purpose of this work is to determine the impact of teachers’ use of demotivational language on students’ learning and behaviors, especially towards ESL learning. The researchers tried to investigate how much the use of the demotivational language of the ESL teachers affects the students' learning process. The quantitative design (descriptive) was adopted in which 190 students of 10th class from 20 high and higher secondary schools (for boys) of district Rahim Yar Khan were included. The questionnaire consisted of 15 MCQs having 05 options (Likert scale). After collecting the data, the researchers analyzed it in descriptive form. The findings revealed that the use of demotivational language kills the ongoing learning process and works as a barrier to the ways of success.","PeriodicalId":310449,"journal":{"name":"Communication and Linguistics Studies","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133306833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As for the tradition Chinese games, there are different kinds of games with \"fight\" element, such as the game of verbal fight and martial fight, which have different emphasis and evolution process. Most of traditional Chinese games with fight element have characteristics of long history and rich cultural heritage, educational significance being more important than entertainment, and abundant seasonable games. As an important part of folklore, these games with “fight” element reflect the cultural characteristics of the Chinese nation with its unique existence, including the contradiction between the cultures of constantly fighting for self-improvement and harmony, emphasis on collectivism, emphasis on practice over theory, obvious gender distinction, obedience to the authority of rules. In this paper, the author will analyze the traditional Chinese games, especially those games with \"fight\" cultural elements, and explore the characteristics of such games and the cultural background and national spirit reflected, so as to provide a reference for the further development and dissemination of traditional Chinese games today.","PeriodicalId":310449,"journal":{"name":"Communication and Linguistics Studies","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114868444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It suggests that the observed forms of language arise from the optimal satisfaction of conflicting constraints. Optimality theory differs from other approaches to phonology, like autosegmental phonology and linear phonology (The Sound Pattern of English), which are typically rule-based approaches rather than constraints (such as faithfulness and markedness operating between underlying forms, inputs, and surface representations, outputs). This study briefly reviews the rise of Optimality theory and its main tenets, teasing out a detailed study of the various critiques that have been addressed to the Optimality theory and its theoretical and applicable domains. It presents a critical appraisal of the role of Optimality theory in phonology to show its main shortcomings and defects. In addition to other criticisms directed to the theory that are triggered by different scholars, the study suggests some other weak points that may be added to those pointed out by such previous critiques. On the basis of what is revealed by the criticism, it is concluded that Optimality theory suffers from different shortcomings and problems. Six problems are identified: the ambiguity of generating process, not paying attention to the lexicon, the uselessness of creativity of mind, wrong ranking, diversity of the same sound in different languages, and focus on parallelism rather than serialism.","PeriodicalId":310449,"journal":{"name":"Communication and Linguistics Studies","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130587536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
