From English to “Englishes”: A Process Perspective on Enhancing the Linguistic Responsiveness of Culturally Tailored Cancer Prevention Interventions

From English to “Englishes”: A Process Perspective on Enhancing the Linguistic Responsiveness of Culturally Tailored Cancer Prevention Interventions

Two non-Black investigators presented the study at the initial meeting based on their expertise in linguistics and cancer screening. However, given the focus on AAE, the members of the scientific review board noted the lack of representation of Black or African American investigators. Without knowledge of the team’s true composition, the board had concerns about the propriety of non-Black scientists addressing the proposed research questions.

Transformation and Articulation of Clinical Data to Understand Students’ and Health Professionals’ Clinical Reasoning: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Transformation and Articulation of Clinical Data to Understand Students’ and Health Professionals’ Clinical Reasoning: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Issued from linguistics and semiotics (the study of signs and symbols in language), the object of structural semantics is to study the systems of meaning comprised in discourse [20,23]. According to medical semiotics, signs and symptoms represent 2 constituting units of clinical reasoning, highlighting that they must be interpreted in their contexts [24,25]. In structural semantic analysis, the discourse is therefore examined according to the linear and vertical dimensions.

Social Semiotics of Gangstalking Evidence Videos on YouTube: Multimodal Discourse Analysis of a Novel Persecutory Belief System

Social Semiotics of Gangstalking Evidence Videos on YouTube: Multimodal Discourse Analysis of a Novel Persecutory Belief System

Systemic functional linguistics (SFL) uses the concept of transitivity to identify how speakers use language to describe their experience. It groups all processes, expressed by verbs, into six categories: material, behavioral, mental, existential, verbal, and relational [29]. Our analysis revealed that TIs frequently use material and behavioral processes to describe the activities of purported gangstalking. In a video of a TI at a store, he says: Literally look at ‘em all come over here.

Linguistic Analysis of Online Communication About a Novel Persecutory Belief System (Gangstalking): Mixed Methods Study

Corpus linguistics is largely a methodology (but also a field of research) which involves using computational techniques to examine recurring linguistic patterns in large, digitized bodies of authentic language data. Discourse analysis is an approach to text analysis which focuses on the ways in which linguistic choices made by text creators contribute to particular functions and representations.
