Inferential Model of Communication

Author(s): Alina Guga-Coţea / Language(s): English Issue: 1-2/2015

This article deals with the inferential model of communication. This model outlines the importance of the relevance and of the effect of an utterance. The speaker’s relevance/failure in relevance, be it intentional or not, actually depends on the audience’s desire to put an effort in understanding and accepting an utterance. The overt and covert types of communication are also presented in this article, these two models being considered by Sperber and Wilson (1995 [1986]) as essential for the relevance of communication.

The Effect of Language Changes on Culture Cause by Producing Knowledge and Technology

Author(s): Ali Mohammadi Bolbanabad,Rouzbeh Hanifi / Language(s): English Issue: 28/2014

The Language is one of the instruments that changes by political and cultural evolutions (changes) and revolutionize during the humans history. But the main thing for the power and honor of each nation and government is protecting their culture and local language against these changes. The language evolution is inevitable. As the entrance of any other events is very common affair so the entrance of terms and any structure is common, too. The main language evolution reasons are because of the entrance of industrial and cultural phenomenon, political, economic and cultural relations, and arrival of those who educated abroad, geographical factors (having mutual border), taboos and military conflictions. These evolutions are semantic and not accidental and irregular. Systematic evolution is a part of language identity and maybe a part of human's identity. Changes in language is not always from extrinsic factor but also the language has a natural motion and it changes based on society needs. This evolution is too slow and gradual. But the main reason of entrance foreign terms that is one of the important factors of language changes is by improvement of technology in the world that producing scientific and technical instrument in such a high speed that is innumerable. As these instruments and tools enter other countries, they also enter their commercial names and known with these names. Sometimes in translation the scientific books, translators can't find suitable equivalents and synonymous because of the abundant numbers of the technical terms and lack of time, so they enter the original terms and use them in their translation.

Obiteljska Komunikacija

Author(s): Katarina Pinjuh / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 4/2015

The process of exchanging ideas and information is called communication. We communicate with our whole being by sending messages to our collocutor verbally, paraverbally and non-verbally. Communication allows us better knowledge, it can help us avoid conflicts and disagreements but it can also cause them. Stimulating educational environment is made by a pleasant family atmosphere which indicates that that is a functional family in which communication is free of “withering” communication habits. “Guarding” habits, which positively e ect on the overall development of children, have the advantage in this family. Successful communication in diade parent - child may be achieved by using active listening interlocutor, following the words the interlocutor pronounces, but also its non-verbal message that the interlocutor sends to us. Children’s parents serve as a model for identifying learning of speech, rules of communication, respect and non-losing methods of conflict resolution and development of empathy. e ability of knowing your own feelings and the possibility of their recognition leads to successful communication

Humanistyka cyfrowa w praktyce – analiza i wizualizacja obrazów

Author(s): Andrzej Radomski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2015

Modern societies produce vast amounts of information. An increasingly important role begin to play visual material (photos, videos or graphics). Sharply increase visual material means that they can not be interpreted and presented using existing tools and accompanying methodology. We are dealing here with huge masses of data—referred to as big data, where the previous research workshop begins to be helpless. The aim of the paper is to present new ways of dealing with the world of big data. They are shown new programs and applications, through which we are able to grasp the enormous amounts of digital visual materials and thus explore the world of images, without which understanding of contemporary culture and cultural history seems impossible. The main emphasis is on discussion ImagePlot and Ex-voto applications that have been designed for analysis and visualization of images.

O virtualnom i stvarnom na primjeru tzv. »virtualne stvarnosti«

Author(s): Milan Polić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 01/2003

So called »virtual reality« is often spoken of as of »Seeming reality« or seeming of reality. Nevertheless, »virtual reality« or computer generated and supported reality is no less real or no more virtual than other fragments of reality. It is special in so much that it can be manipulated -so that the term cyber-reality would suit it better since it is the term used in other computer related idioms -but other fragments of reality also have their uniqueness and laws applying just to them without being equalized to »feinting«. Cyber-reality is one more proof that the total reality - virtual or not - is a part of men's world and his creation.

HABERMAS’ COMMUNICATIVE ACTION AND ITS PLATONIC, BIBLICAL AND METAPHYSICAL CONSOLIDATION AN INTRODUCTION TO DEMOCRATICAL POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY

Author(s): Ryszard Paradowski,Wiera Paradowska / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2014

In this paper we would like to present a certain philosophical concept, which may be related to some contemporary philosophical controversies (and to political philosophy’ controversies included) concentrated around such problems as, the meaning of metaphysics and as the understanding of freedom. We are going also to say a word about the particularity of the philosophical understanding of reality, including the status of intention for agreement. The concept we present further for additional foundation of the Habermas’ idea of communicative action is a compound of metaphysics itself, and of our own concept of metaphysics, and of the two particular questions – interpretation of Plato’s philosophy as well as interpretation of the Biblical message about anthropogenesis.

BUREAUCRATIC COMMUNICATION IN GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION

Author(s): Luminiţa Ionescu / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

Bureaucracy is a complex and dynamic phenomenon with different consequences over the local and central administration. The European Union enlargement has led to an increased complexity of the bureaucratic structures, rules and regulations. Despite the fact that bureaucracy is the most effective way to run a government, modern bureaucracies interfaces are often related to time and size. The European bureaucracy is related to the slow process of implementing for new regulations, numerous documents and the complexity of forms. In the last decades, bureaucracy has become one of the causes of corruption and fraud.

THE DECEPTIVE POTENTIAL OF THE PROJECTED IMAGE IN EARLY CINEMA

Author(s): Silviu Şerban / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

The phenomenon of projecting images had a baffling effect upon the viewing audiences long before the emergence of cinema. Being considered to pertain more to magic than science, the process of projecting images on a screen started to be demystified with the advent of the Scientific Revolution. Nevertheless, the dawning phase of cinema abounds in references to the confusing reactions of the viewers positioned in front of the screen on which the moving pictures were running. Some other times the deceptive potential of cinema has been used for creative purposes by the film producers. A case in point is the resounding success enjoyed by Hale’s Tours which enabled the viewers-passengers to participate in a virtual tour. Méliès, a true magician of the early cinema, the creator of so many cinema tricks, can also be credited with the unveiling of the illusion-generating mechanism in movies. The French cineaste does not attempt to pass illusion for reality, on the contrary, he emphasizes its presence and reveals its cinematographic nature by means of trickality.

“THE ECSTASY OF COMMUNICATION:” INTERDISCIPLINARITY, RELATIVITY AND OTHERNESS IN AMERICAN STUDIES

Author(s): Irina Dubský / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

The present study proposes to investigate the phenomenon of interdisciplinarity interpreted as a form of communication and exchange. Interdisciplinarity relies on different forms of otherness which is explored within the overarching context of postmodernism, being evaluated as an essential dimension of both the cultural and socio-political sphere. This multifaceted intellectual project may be placed within the vast perspective of cultural relativism, which, among many other things, entails a plurality of voices and narratives that admit to their own partiality, locality and limitation. An all-encompassing perspective on the interdisciplinary enterprise may be achieved if it is related to what Baudrillard terms “the instantaneity of communication,” which entails a redrawing of boundaries at all levels, the effacement of disciplinary frontiers being a particular illustration of this ample phenomenon.

MYTH AND SYMBOLISM IN SOUND SOURCES OF ANCIENT CULTURES

Author(s): Crinuţa Popescu / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

Since ancient times, all populations – regardless of beliefs and geographical position – have included music in their lives, giving it a complex communication, healing, and purification role. Whatever the producing source, there have been established strong ties between sound and mythology while the sound is considered the means connecting people with the spiritual world, with gods. In some oriental cultures music reflects the cosmic system music or the ladder sounds with their correspondences in the elements of nature. In relation to the specific auditory the instruments have had different functions (the ritual, meditation, communication, balancing, healing), some of them being maintained so far.

Suhtlusruum ja selle modelleerimine

Author(s): Mare Koit,Haldur Õim / Language(s): Estonian Issue: 12/2016

Communication between people can take various forms depending on a lot of circumstances – participants’ individual characteristics, their social roles, subject of conversation, etc. The paper introduces a work in progress on modelling one aspect of natural human communication – communicative space. Communicative space is a mental space where a communication participant places himself/herself with respect to other ones and where (s)he is ‘moving’ during a communication event. Communicative space can be characterized by different features, e.g., (social) closeness of a communication participant with the partner, collaboration, politeness, etc. These features of communication can be conveyed by language use as well as by different nonverbal means (body movement, facial expressions, etc.). The values +1, 0, and –1 are used for the coordinates in communicative space. Examples of human-human dialogues – both everyday and institutional – demonstrate how participants pass different points in communicative space during a conversation. The further aim is to include such a model of communicative space in an experimental system for modelling conversational agents in order to make interaction with the system more human-like.

«Гневные толпы, восставшие против произвола властей» О пресуппозициях и их функциях в научно-популярных текстах на материале книги «Москва: иллюстрированная история» (1985–1986)

Author(s): Anna Krasnikova,Valentina Noseda / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1/2024

Presuppositions, like other types of inference, form an essential component of verbal communication, allowing speakers to generate utterances that satisfy the economy principle. In any text, it is possible to divide the content into asserted and implied messages, i.e., presuppositional content. More often, the addressee accommodates the presuppositions, i.e., he accepts the presuppositional content as true. This is what ensures successful communication. However, the communicative properties of presuppositions can be used for manipulative purposes to portray as self-evident and unquestionable what is, in fact, false and doubtful. One of the most famous examples is Gottlob Frege’s “Der Wille des Volkes” (the will of the people), which erroneously presupposes the existence of a unique will of all the people. By showing this example of “existential presupposition”, Frege (1892) was the first to discuss the manipulative potential of presuppositions. Several scholars after him have illustrated the manipulative effect of presuppositions in various types of texts, especially those of a political nature. Nevertheless, there are almost no works in Russian that examine the use of presuppositions to convey a specific representation of the world to the addressee. In this paper, the presence and use of presuppositions, as well as their potentially manipulative functions, are examined in the book Moscow: An Illustrated History (1985–1986). This choice can be explained by the intent of using not overtly propagandistic materials, where most propagandistic content is expressed in the assertive component of the message. The study demonstrates what ideas are embedded in presuppositions, how regularly this technique was employed, and what indisputable idea of reality was created as a result. More specifically, the ideas presupposed in the texts can be summarized as follows: the presence of a single multinational country that has existed for the entire duration of Moscow’s life and in which Moscow was the only center; the idea that Kievan Rus’ and the Soviet Union were the same entity; the presence of Marxist “class struggle” since the beginning of Moscow’s history; and the notion that Russia was always surrounded by enemies.

A digitális divattartalmak ideje

Author(s): Petra Egri / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 04/2025

For a long time, fashion was exclusively associated with the physical world. Beyond fashion illustrations and drawings, tangible fashion objects appeared on mannequins (or dolls) or human bodies, with physical extensions. As Joanne Entwistle wrote in 2015: “Fashion is about bodies: it is produced, promoted, and worn by bodies. It is the body that fashion speaks to, and it is the body that must be dressed in almost all social encounters.” This model is changing today due to the rise of digital fashion, which is infiltrating all areas of the fashion system, from production to consumption. My paper focuses on a specific aspect of digital fashion, analyzing Noonoouri’s CGI fashion influencer brand collaborations to explore the intersection between physically based “archive fashion” and digital fashion.
