The document discusses indexicality and stance. It provides definitions of indexical terms like indexical terms and shifters. It also discusses Peirce's definitions of signs. Questions are posed about how indexical meanings are realized and the process of conventionalization. Stance is defined as how one stands in relation to another entity through the combination of linguistic elements, and aspects of stance like object, affect, and social axes are outlined. Examples of stance created in a conversation are also provided.

Deixis refers to linguistic expressions that can only be interpreted based on contextual information about who is speaking, where, and when. Deixis includes pronouns like I, you, and demonstratives like this and that. The meaning of deictic expressions depends on the deictic center, which is the speaker's point of view in terms of person, place, and time. There are different types of deixis, including person deixis referring to speakers and addressees, place deixis indicating locations, and time deixis referring to moments in time. Deixis is a fundamental aspect of language that allows speakers to anchor meanings to the immediate context of an utterance.Power in Everyday Discourse
Power in Everyday Discoursemuzzboi
油
This document analyzes how power is expressed and contested through everyday discourse. It provides two examples of discourse that assert or challenge power relationships: 1) A conversation where one person questions policies supporting te reo Mori and Pacific languages, expressing racist views. 2) An interaction at work where a subordinate tries unsuccessfully to engage their superior in small talk, potentially challenging the existing power dynamic. The document also discusses how discourse shapes societal norms and power structures, and how power imbalances can be reinforced through everyday exchanges.Discourse style
Discourse styletanaphorn
油
Discourse style refers to how language is used depending on the context, including the subject matter, audience, occasion, and purpose of communication. There are different styles such as public speaking which is carefully planned with exaggerated intonation and rhetorical devices. Another style is addressing an audience where words are chosen carefully in a formal dialogue. More casual styles include conversations between friends, family or colleagues where social barriers are lower and words are less guarded, or intimate conversations where one reveals their inner self.Presentation for language, discourse and power

Paul Henry, a TV host, implied that the Governor General of New Zealand was not a "real" New Zealander based on his appearance and accent, which are of Fijian Indian descent. An Intel advertisement depicted six African American sprinters bowing before a white manager, implying racial dominance. Both examples use subtle language and body language to assert power and define national or racial identity in a exclusionary way. The use of ambiguity and subtle cues allow racism to persist systemically through common media and advertisements.Negotiation Power

Discourse analysis considers the relationship between language and the context in which it is used by examining both spoken and written communication beyond the sentence level. It studies how people comprehend and produce speech acts in concrete situations through a pragmatic analysis. The cultural and social characteristics of speakers and audiences also influence communicative competence and cultural ways of speaking. Discourse shapes and is shaped by language, mediums, social identities, performances, and the differences between spoken versus written language use.Discourse Analysis article shared by Azhar Khan ..1

This document discusses a study that analyzed six advertisements using methods of critical discourse analysis. The study aimed to investigate the intentions and techniques used by companies to influence consumers. Norman Fairclough's three-dimensional model and Kress and van Leeuwen's grammar of visual design were used to analyze how power and ideology are expressed in advertisements. The results showed that private producers try to give power to viewers to persuade them to buy products, while government producers try to show their own power. Overall, advertisements generally use power and ideology to change behaviors and thoughts.Language & power part 1

This document discusses language and power in verbal and nonverbal communication. It identifies four categories of power: practical, knowledge/ideas, position, and personal. It also discusses how power is encoded in conversations through status markers like agenda-setting, turn-taking, forms of address, phatic talk or small talk, and utterance types. Phatic talk, while not relevant to the core topic, plays an important role in establishing relationships and can be used strategically in conversations to influence the power dynamic.Deixis And Distance

Deixis refers to words that point to elements of the context in which an utterance is made, such as the speaker, addressee, place, and time. There are several types of deixis, including personal deixis referring to speaker and addressee using pronouns like "I" and "you"; spatial deixis indicating proximity like "here" and "there"; temporal deixis marking time in relation to the moment of speaking like "now" and "then"; and discourse deixis referring to elements in the ongoing conversation.

- Semiotics examines how meaning is constructed through signs such as words, images, sounds, gestures and objects.
- Ferdinand de Saussure distinguished between the signifier (form of the sign) and the signified (concept represented).
- Charles Sanders Peirce developed a triadic model of the sign consisting of the representamen (sign vehicle), object (referent), and interpretant (sense made of the sign).
- Signs can function as icons, indexes or symbols depending on their relationship to what theySemiotics and information science

Semiotics is the study of signs and how meaning is constructed and communicated. It examines how people represent things in a meaningful way and how social context influences meaning. Semiotics has roots in ancient Greece but was modernized by scholars like Saussure, Pierce, and Morris. It views all objects and expressions as potential signs that gain meaning through cultural interpretation. Semiotics informs information science by exploring representation, the arbitrary nature of language, and how meanings are socially constructed rather than inherent. It provides approaches for understanding issues like the various meanings of information and how users interpret signs based on context.Semiotics and Information Science

Semiotics is the study of meanings and signs. It examines how meaning is derived from texts, images, and other signs through social interpretation. The field has its roots in ancient Greek philosophy but was modernized by linguists like Saussure and Pierce in the 19th/20th centuries. Semiotics is relevant to information science because both fields study representation and the social construction of meaning from signs and culture. It provides frameworks for understanding how information and language acquire context-dependent meanings.paradigmatic controversies, contradictions, and emerging confluences

This document provides an overview of the different levels of linguistic analysis, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, lexicon, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and discourse.
It defines each level and discusses their basic units and organizing structures. For example, it states that syntax analyzes sentence structure and has phrases as its basic units, organized by syntactic operations. Semantics examines meaning within language and has no set units, but aspects like denotation and reference. Pragmatics studies meaning beyond language to speech acts, using components like implicatures.
The document also gives examples to illustrate each level, such as speech acts for pragmatics, and deixis, politeness, and enunciation for328977061-English-Lexicology-2014 2015.pdf

Research is defined as a systematic, scientific investigation that follows a sequence of steps to establish facts and solve problems. The objectives of research are to gain familiarity with phenomena, accurately portray characteristics of individuals or groups, or test hypotheses about causal relationships. A research paradigm provides the philosophical framework for how a researcher views the world and their research. The key aspects of a paradigm are its ontology regarding the nature of reality, epistemology regarding what can be known, and methodology regarding how knowledge can be obtained. Different paradigms like positivism, interpretivism, and critical theory have distinct beliefs about these aspects.Da vinci presentation ontology epistemology Dr Rica VIljoen

1) Informal learning in workplaces is an ongoing process of improving employee skills and knowledge through socialization and training within an organizational context. Recent research has focused on e-learning, knowledge sharing, and the use of social media.
2) Peirce's communicative perspective views meaning-making as a process involving emotions, experiences, and logical reasoning. Signs are connected to both thoughts and the material world. Interpretation requires shared understanding between individuals.
3) For communication to occur, there needs to be "common ground" or collateral experiences between individuals. Physical artifacts and indicesMeaningful Interaction Analysis

The document discusses the concept of "indexical cycles" in sociolinguistics. It describes indexical cycles as the process where the meanings associated with linguistic variants become more visible through metapragmatic discourse, leading the meanings to then shift and become conventionalized for a new indexical meaning. Several examples are provided, such as how "dude" in American English has cycled through meanings relating to clothing, gender, and stance over time. The document also discusses how indexical cycles relate to the concept of "indexical order" in renewing systems of indexicality through constant semantic shifts.Semiotics and conceptual modeling gv 2015

- Conceptual modeling in computer science often uses concepts that require interpretation, such as linguistic concepts, which challenges the model-theoretic semantics approach of formal logic.
- Semiotics, as the study of signs and their interpretation, can provide a theoretical foundation for more formally and transparently addressing interpretation in conceptual models.

Utilities and water companies play a key role in the creation of clean drinking water. The creation and maintenance of clean drinking water is becoming a critical problem due to pollution and pressure on the environment. A lot of data is necessary to create clean drinking water. For fieldworkers, two types of data are key: Asset data in an asset management system (EAM for example) and Geographic data in a GIS (ArcGIS Utility Network ). Keeping this type of data up to date and in sync is a challenge for many organizations, leading to duplicating data and creating a bulk of extra attributes and data to keep everything in sync. Using FME, it is possible to synchronize Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) data with the ArcGIS Utility Network in real time. Changes (creation, modification, deletion) in ArcGIS Pro are relayed to EAM via FME, and vice versa. This ensures continuous synchronization of both systems without daily bulk updates, minimizes risks, and seamlessly integrates with ArcGIS Utility Network services. This presentation focuses on the use of FME at a Dutch water company, to create a sync between the asset management and GIS.9-1-1 Addressing: End-to-End Automation Using FME

Finding a specific car online can be a time-consuming task, especially when checking multiple dealer websites. A few years ago, I faced this exact problem while searching for a particular vehicle in New Zealand. The local classified platform, Trade Me (similar to eBay), wasnt yielding any results, so I expanded my search to second-hand dealer sitesonly to realise that periodically checking each one was going to be tedious. Thats when I noticed something interesting: many of these websites used the same platform to manage their inventories. Recognising this, I reverse-engineered the platforms structure and built an FME workspace that automated the search process for me. By integrating API calls and setting up periodic checks, I received real-time email alerts when matching cars were listed. In this presentation, Ill walk through how I used FME to save hours of manual searching by creating a custom car-finding automation system. While FME cant buy a car for youyetit can certainly help you find the one youre after!AI VIDEO MAGAZINE - June 2025 - r/aivideo

Managing airport and airspace data is no small task, especially when youre expected to deliver it in AIXM format without spending a fortune on specialized tools. But what if there was a smarter, more affordable way?
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how Sweco partnered with Swedavia, the Swedish airport operator, to solve this challenge using FME and Esri.
Learn how they built automated workflows to manage periodic updates, merge airspace data, and support data extracts all while meeting strict government reporting requirements to the Civil Aviation Administration of Sweden.
Even better? Swedavia built custom services and applications that use the FME Flow REST API to trigger jobs and retrieve results streamlining tasks like securing the quality of new surveyor data, creating permdelta and baseline representations in the AIS schema, and generating AIXM extracts from their AIS data.
To conclude, FME expert Dean Hintz will walk through a GeoBorders reading workflow and highlight recent enhancements to FMEs AIXM (Aeronautical Information Exchange Model) processing and interpretation capabilities.
Discover how airports like Swedavia are harnessing the power of FME to simplify aviation data management, and how you can too.Securing Account Lifecycles in the Age of Deepfakes.pptx
