Book Synopsis The Digital Scholar: Academic Communication in Multimedia Environment by : Irena Vassileva
Download or read book The Digital Scholar: Academic Communication in Multimedia Environment written by Irena Vassileva and published by Frank & Timme GmbH. This book was released on 2020-02-07 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The forms and genres of academic communication have changed considerably over the past decades – from standardised ways of producing texts on/for paper to a (less?) standardised way of communication in Web 2.0. Published papers are now available to a greater number of readers, interaction among colleagues can take place in real time via written, audio or visual formats, and it has become much more comfortable for students as well as for those outside the scientific community to access academic information and to contact its authors. It seems, however, that many aspects of academic communication have not yet changed, and its participants – either in the „old“ or in the „new“ generation – are ill-equipped to work within the multimedia context. This volume, therefore, takes a look at academic communication in the multimedia environment, in order to throw light on how these processes are linked to new multimedia affordances, while at the same time encapsulating old genre conventions and participant interaction with the medium.
Book Synopsis Academic Integrity: Broadening Practices, Technologies, and the Role of Students by : Sonja Bjelobaba
Download or read book Academic Integrity: Broadening Practices, Technologies, and the Role of Students written by Sonja Bjelobaba and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to broaden the horizons of academic integrity by discussing novel practices and technologies, and the importance of student involvement in building a culture of academic integrity. Examples are the outreach efforts towards a range of non-educational organisations, the exploration and comparison of ethical policies and actions in different institutions, and the improvement of student responses in research on sensitive topics. It explores a range of scenarios and strategies adopted in different parts of the world during the COVID-19 pandemic, and addresses new technological advances for investigating types of academic misconduct that are difficult to find, including translation plagiarism, contract cheating, the usage of the proctoring systems, and the innovative use of data mining to detect cheating on on-line quizzes. The work shows how working with students is an essential part of the fight against academic misconduct. The student voice can be a powerful source of motivation for students, but educators also need to understand their perspectives, especially regarding such an important topic as academic integrity.
Book Synopsis Confrontation in Academic Communication by : Irena Vassileva
Download or read book Confrontation in Academic Communication written by Irena Vassileva and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the argumentation strategies employed by linguists in voicing criticism, looks for explanations for confrontation in academic discourse, and evaluates the positive and/or negative effects it has on international academic communication. Issues such as the role of intertextuality, cross-cultural variations, and the notion of “academic discourse community” are also touched upon. Special attention is paid to the modern developments in contrastive rhetoric studies, as well as to the controversial issue of the use of context-based versus corpus-based methods. The corpus under investigation consists of academic book reviews in English and German with a clearly stated negative character, as well as a series of publications in English interrelated by the fact that they discuss a common group of problems but from two fully confrontative points of view. They illustrate what has been called an “academic war”. Some related theoretical issues are also discussed, including the role of evaluation in academic communication, the relationship between criticism, critique, negative evaluation, and confrontation in academic communication, as well as the importance of culture, discipline culture, and communities of practice. The contrastive discourse analysis demonstrates differences between English and German in terms of the rhetorical strategies employed by review writers to express criticism. The book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of academic communication and rhetorics, as well as teachers in English/German for academic purposes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty and precarity are among the most pressing social issues of today and have become a significant thematic focus and analytical tool in the humanities in the last two decades. This volume brings together an international group of scholars who investigate conceptualisations of poverty and precarity from the perspective of literary and cultural studies as well as linguistics. Analysing literature, visual arts and news media from across the postcolonial world, they aim at exploring the frameworks of representation that impact affective and ethical responses to disenfranchised groups and precarious subjects. Case studies focus on intersections between precarity and race, class, and gender, institutional frameworks of publishing, environmental precarity, and the framing of refugees and migrants as precarious subjects.

Book Synopsis Knowledge Communication by : Peter Kastberg
Download or read book Knowledge Communication written by Peter Kastberg and published by Frank & Timme GmbH. This book was released on 2019-12-13 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge Communication as a research field emerges as a response to the communicative core challenges of the knowledge society. At ist center is the question of how to produce and transform specialized knowledge into interactions to gain value for this kind of knowledge. The field’s foundational concepts concern a transactional understanding of communication, an ideology of convergence between communicators and an appreciation of knowledge as construction. These stem from critical discussions of insights harvested from three parental disciplines: Language for Specific Purposes, Public Understanding of Science, and Knowledge Management. In their synthesis, these foundational concepts define Knowledge Communication as a means of strategic communication. In lieu of this, the research agenda of Knowledge Communication presents a novel prism through which to discern and investigate communicative core challenges of the knowledge society.
Book Synopsis Pragmatics of Space by : Andreas H. Jucker

The third part is devoted to the communicative resources of constructed spaces and the ways in which these facilitate and shape communication. Part four, finally, is devoted to pragmatics across space and cultures, i.e. the ways in which language use differs across language varieties, languages and cultures.

Book Synopsis Ethics in Professional and Corporate Discourse by : Giuliana Elena Garzone
Download or read book Ethics in Professional and Corporate Discourse written by Giuliana Elena Garzone and published by Frank & Timme GmbH. This book was released on 2022-07-15 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics. Whether explicit or implicit, it plays a key role in our lives, guiding our decisions and shaping our view of what the world – including the world of business – is or ought to be like. This volume provides a thorough description of the language that is used to encode ethics, to deal with ethical issues, and to express ethical values in business and professional discourses. It explores the relationship between ethics and ethos in a variety of professional and corporate texts and genres, and investigates the role and positioning of ethics in today’s cultural environment, shedding light on how it is negotiated vis-à-vis other values in the pursuit of business and professional goals. Thanks to its rigorous linguistic approach, the analysis fills a significant gap in the burgeoning scholarship on ethics in discourse, laying the ground for a better understanding of what ethical pronouncements do, linguistically and pragmatically.

Book Synopsis Computer Networking and Scholarly Communication in the Twenty-First-Century University by : Teresa M. Harrison
Download or read book Computer Networking and Scholarly Communication in the Twenty-First-Century University written by Teresa M. Harrison and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1996-04-04 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the various ways in which computer networking, and more specifically the Internet, is changing the practices, the structure, and the products of academic scholarship. It considers research, teaching, and dissemination of knowledge across a range of disciplines in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences in order to identify particular uses of networking that will come to constitute the academic world of the future. The contributors consider such themes as how networking and particular software environments can be used to support inquiry within research specialties and how scholars in diverse disciplines respond to the availability of new networked channels of scholarly communication. In the context of education, they argue that networking can reconfigure the process of learning, encompassing new audiences, new relationships with teachers, and new learning skills adapted for the network environment. The products of such new configurations are also discussed. The future of electronic journal publication is considered by innovators who have designed some of the first experiments in refereed electronic journal publication. Finally, the new responsibilities and roles of the academic library and academic publishers in a networked environment are debated.
