Cross-textual reconceptualisation of the deictic space of “victory” in political discourse: Donald Trump versus Joseph Biden

The present study propounds the notion-complex of cross-textual reconceptualisation as a cognitive-linguistic output of applying Paul Chilton’s (2013, 2014, 2017) model of Deictic Space Theory (DST) to textual practices drawn from the broad domain of political discourse. The DST model has operated methodologically towards conducting a cognitively oriented political discourse analysis of the two victory speeches produced by Donald Trump and Joseph Biden during the 2020 election for US presidency. As a geometric model, DST has been applied to the two speeches in a way that demonstrated the deictic spatial construction of victory in relation to Trump and Biden as the now-here-real speakers on the three axes of discourse referents, time, and epistemic modality. The data analysis has revealed four significant instantiations of cross-textual reconceptualisation made by Biden of Trump’s deictic space of victory as a contested concept: (i) a “clear” and “convincing” victory, (ii) a peripersonal real victory, (iii) Trump and his voters, and (iv) a now shift from a past Democrat to a future President. All four instantiations have proved the hypothesis that the DST model, while revealing the deictic-spatial conceptualisations of “victory” constituted by each speaker in his speech, may further be extended to disentangle the interesting aspect of how one and the same concept could be reconceptualised across two textual practices produced by speakers with ideologically opposed perspectives.

Deriving Design Aspects from Conceptual Models

Two fundamental issues in aspect orientation are the identification and the composition of aspects. We argue that aspects must be identified at the requirement and the domain analysis phases. We also propose a mechanism for gradually composing aspects throughout the software development process. We illustrate our ideas for the design of a transaction framework

Early aspects: aspect-oriented requirements engineering and architecture design

This paper reports on the third Early Aspects: Aspect-Oriented Requirements Engineering and Architecture Design Workshop, which has been held in Lancaster, UK, on March 21, 2004. The workshop included a presentation session and working sessions in which the particular topics on early aspects were discussed. The primary goal of the workshop was to focus on challenges to defining methodical software development processes for aspects from early on in the software life cycle and explore the potential of proposed methods and techniques to scale up to industrial applications

SOCIALLY-ORIENTED APPROACH TO EDUCATION AS A CONDITION OF SUCCESSFUL SOCIALIZATION OF PUPILS

Introduction. The modern schools continue to focus on the individual achievements of students, which has led to inconsistency in the formation of personality, its social immaturity. As a result, it has become necessary to make an orientation of education not only to the development of the specific personality of a learner but also to the needs of the society surrounding the person, i.e. shifting the focus from student-centered approach to education of socially-oriented person. The aim of the publication is to present the concept of socially-oriented approach in education, which is a necessary condition for successful socialization of pupils. Methodology and research methods. The research is carried out with a support on pedagogical aspect of socialization; theory of professional self-determination of a personality; theory of synthesis of personal-oriented and socially-oriented approaches. Domain approach is applied to the description of the concept of socially-oriented education that is considered to have extensional, nonlinear, and multidimensional character. Analysis, synthesis, systematization and generalization of foreign and domestic scientific experience, modeling are used as the main methods of the research. Results and scientific novelty. The ideas of socially-oriented training and education which are available in domestic and foreign pedagogics are systematized. As a result of application of this approach, the concepts of socially-oriented approach to education and a socially-oriented personality are specified. The relevance of use of a new approach in education is proved; features of this approach are shown as methodological and methodical tools of educational activity wherein interests of society and a person as a subject of society are counterbalanced. The basic principles of socially-oriented approach are allocated and described; conditions of its realization at all educational levels are specified. As it is emphasized, one of the main and indispensable conditions of effective use of socially-oriented approach to education is creation of open spontaneous social and professional space which provides motivation of educational and work activities, getting a prestigious demanded profession, gaining self-development and professional growth.Practical significance. Methodological support for successful socialization of students in the learning process at all levels of school education is provided. А. Ф.

An Analysis of Composability and Composition Anomalies

The separation of concerns principle aims at decomposing a given design problem into concerns that are mapped to multiple independent software modules. The application of this principle eases the composition of the concerns and as such supports composability. Unfortunately, a clean separation (and composition of concerns) at the design level does not always imply the composability of the concerns at the implementation level. The composability might be reduced due to limitations of the implementation abstractions and composition mechanisms. The paper introduces the notion of composition anomaly to describe a general set of unexpected composition problems that arise when mapping design concerns to implementation concerns. To distinguish composition anomalies from other composition problems the requirements for composability at the design level is provided. The ideas are illustrated for a distributed newsgroup system

An overview of Mirjam and WeaveC

In this chapter, we elaborate on the design of an industrial-strength aspectoriented programming language and weaver for large-scale software development. First, we present an analysis on the requirements of a general purpose aspect-oriented language that can handle crosscutting concerns in ASML software. We also outline a strategy on working with aspects in large-scale software development processes. In our design, we both re-use existing aspect-oriented language abstractions and propose new ones to address the issues that we identified in our analysis. The quality of the code ensured by the realized language and weaver has a positive impact both on maintenance effort and lead-time in the first line software development process. As evidence, we present a short evaluation of the language and weaver as applied today in the software development process of ASML
