Le journaliste traduisant et l’agentivité : analyse des solutions de traduction du discours rapporté

Translation is unavoidable in international journalism. We suggest that studying the translation of reported speech in journalistic translation offers an interesting viewpoint to the study of reported speech, as it increases the agency of the journalist by forcing them change the language of reporting and thus make decisions on how to express the content in another language. In this article we examine reported speech in the journalistic translation of the Finnish daily newspaper Helsingin Sanomat. We analyse data collected during the spring 2017 that consists of articles in Finnish dealing with the presidential elections in France, as well as of articles in French that we have been able to collect as being the sources mentioned in the articles in Finnish. An analysis of translation solutions using Andrew Chesterman’s classification shows evidence of literal translations, information changes and explicitness changes.Peer reviewe

Ei kriitikko vaan toivottu vieras : läheisten vierailut tukevat hyvää elämää

Hoivakotien henkilöstö ja läheiset ovat vaarassa etääntyä toisistaan. Koska toimiva yhteistyö lisää sekä asukkaiden ja heidän läheistensä että hoitohenkilöstön hyvinvointia, yhteyttä tulee ylläpitää suunnitelmallisesti. Suomessa hoitohenkilöstö on velvoitettu toimimaan läheisten kanssa yhteistyössä hoidon järjestämiseksi

Les routines discursives liées aux noms scientifiques dans les activités didactiques du discours scientifique

International audienceDans ce chapitre nous examinons les routines discursives liées aux noms scientifiques pour leur enseignement en milieu universitaire. Les noms scientifiques tels que théorie, hypothèse et méthode, constituent un objet de recherche important en raison de leur position centrale dans l'argumentation scientifique. Ils sont utilisés dans les disciplines scientifiques pour dénommer des concepts fondamentaux de la recherche. Malgré les idéaux de clarté et d’univocité traditionnellement liés au discours scientifique, plusieurs recherches ont montré que les noms scientifiques peuvent être polysémiques y compris dans un même champ disciplinaire (Cavalla & Grossmann, 2005 ; Konstenius, 2014 ; Luodonpää-Manni, 2016). Cela constitue un défi pour l’enseignant qui doit expliquer aux apprenants-étudiants, jeunes chercheurs, les caractéristiques de l’écriture scientifique et la variation sémantique de ces noms scientifiques

Commenting on poverty online : A corpus-assisted discourse study of the Suomi24 forum

This paper brings new insight to poverty and social exclusion through an analysis of how poverty-related issues are commented on in the largest online discussion forum in Finland: Suomi24 (‘Finland24’). For data, we use 32,407 posts published in the forum in 2014 that contain the word köyhä (‘poor’) or a predefined semantically similar word. We apply the Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies (CADS) method, which combines quantitative methods and qualitative discourse analysis. This methodological solution allows us to analyse both large-scale tendencies and detailed expressions and nuances on how poverty is discussed. The quantitative analysis is conducted with topic modelling, an unsupervised machine learning method used to examine large volumes of unlabelled text. Our results show that discussions concerning poverty are multifaceted and can be broken down into several categories, including politics; money, income and spending; and unequal access to goods. This suggests that poverty affects the lives of people with low income in a comprehensive way. Furthermore, it is shown that the posts include self-expression that displays both the juxtaposition of social groups, e.g., between the rich and poor, and between politicians and citizens, as well as peer support and giving advice.Peer reviewe
