Four recordings of suspect testimony were presented to one hundred and eighteen students who listened to a dialogue between a male middle-aged Polish police officer as an interviewer and a female young suspect. The current study aimed to examine how members of the same group perceive attitudes toward Polish nonstandard varieties of language in the courtroom. I also seeked to investigate stereotypes related to nonstandard Polish speakers as far as such factors as <em>accuracy, creditability, deception, prestige, intelligence and likeability</em> are concerned. Finally, this study aimed to find “the Polish accent of guilt”. The findings revealed that the suspect was assessed as being considerably more guilty while speaking with the Cracovian accent rather than Silesian, Podhale or Zamość accents. The Cracovian accent is the least credible and likeable of all accents which were examined in this study, but excels in the factor of <em>prestige</em> and <em>intelligence</em>. Podhale accent seems to be viewed as the most likeable. Zamość accent was rated the highest in <em>intelligence</em>.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47575,"journal":{"name":"Language & Communication","volume":"98 ","pages":"Pages 1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141322994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the notion of “destination branding”, this article investigates how the official tourist board of the Faroe Islands, Visit Faroe Islands (VFI), brands the destination to tourists on their Facebook page. The data consists of VFI's Facebook posts from 1/9–2020 to 31/8–2021; these are analysed using a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches, namely corpus-based analysis, grounded theory categorisation, and multimodal analysis. Through the analyses, it is concluded that VFI promises unique and authentic experiences by turning the Faroe Islands' unspoiled and unexplored nature and unpredictable weather into tourist commodities. The Faroese destination brand includes a dichotomic relationship between elements of convenience and inconvenience – between accessibility and inaccessibility – that both emphasise the destination's extremeness and, on the other hand, mitigate it.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47575,"journal":{"name":"Language & Communication","volume":"97 ","pages":"Pages 55-69"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S027153092400034X/pdfft?md5=50837193462dc3011d55a832cd1391c6&pid=1-s2.0-S027153092400034X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141067440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research uncovers recurring linguistic shibboleths, indexically linked social meanings, and prevalent language ideologies concerning MLE and other London dialects. Results reveal a consistent emphasis on specific linguistic shibboleths repeated in articles. Indexical links for ‘MLE’ are constructed through evaluative comments, alarmist metaphors employing xenophobic immigration tropes, and loaded keywords. ‘Cockney’ and ‘Estuary English’ are portrayed more favourably and, together with ‘Received Pronunciation (RP)’, serve to stigmatise MLE. This study underscores the role of media discourse in shaping the enregisterment of dialects, contributing to social stratification and the ‘othering’ of certain linguistic varieties.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47575,"journal":{"name":"Language & Communication","volume":"97 ","pages":"Pages 13-33"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0271530924000314/pdfft?md5=2fedc256a2c204b8f6dbc9184545d523&pid=1-s2.0-S0271530924000314-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140902476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We take both a discourse and multimodal analytic approach in our investigation of the circulating tensions of place found both ‘online’ and ‘offline’ of what constitutes an ‘authentic’ neighborhood to individuals.

The EEC representatives had a vested interest in swiftly resolving the conflict, and even before consulting with the Slovenian and Croatian representatives they already reached an initial agreement with the Yugoslav state representatives. Due to this <em>fait accompli</em> situation, we assume that they had to show particular awareness of the ritually ‘neutral’ tone of the mediator. Through our methodology we capture the replicable features of diplomatic mediation, and because of this our results are relevant for the study of the language of diplomacy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47575,"journal":{"name":"Language & Communication","volume":"96 ","pages":"Pages 54-66"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0271530924000132/pdfft?md5=4295e023f825d9d7482d9cbfb071e1c7&pid=1-s2.0-S0271530924000132-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140041886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
