This chapter explores the perceptual acts modelled by John Clare’s poetry, especially in encounters with the more-than-human world. Rather than foregrounding the ways a perceiving ego shapes a landscape, Clare details situations and perspectives readers can imaginatively enter and emphasizes the ways that the situations themselves invite receptivity. He normalizes ecologically attuned modes of ...

This chapter brings together the issues of analogy and contrast through a perspective of linguistic borrowing. We analyze the integration of new [N[N]] compounds, borrowed from English into Russian (e.g. top-igrok ‘top player’). By discussing two corpus studies and two small experiments, we show that Russian new [N[N]] compounds reflect both “levelling” and “extension”. There are at least three ...

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to show that the neo-documentary – or complimentary – approach in Library and Information Science by no means is conservative, but highly necessary also in today's digitized media landscape. An example from a digitized photo archive is chosen to demonstrate the importance of a complimentary analysis that considers both material aspects as well as social and ...

The chapter gives a general overview of the historical development of theoretical reflection on documents and the formulation of document theories. The Latin documentum and the use of the concept of documents in European state bureaucracy from the seventeenth century onwards is taken as a starting point for the chapter. The first interest in document theory was a professional one and can be observed ...

The data consists of pre-service language teachers’ responses to an ...

The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) was launched in 1997, and the first testing was done in 2000. The aim was to globally compare what students learn and can do. In 2000, 32 countries participated. In 2018, the number of participating education systems1 had more than doubled to 78. Compared to the other OECD countries, performance of students both in Germany and in Finland was ...

Excrescent vowels in two Yuman languages (Cocopa and Jamul Tiipay) and the phonotactic restrictions for their occurrence show that vowels that fulfil some criteria of excrescent vowels are not always a phonetic reflex without repercussions for syllabification (Hall 2006), but rather signal the presence of an additional, albeit non-canonical, syllable. They are inserted in syllables without a ...

Linguistic diversity is often addressed within wider abstract educational frameworks, making it difficult to concretize in teacher training. In this article we explore how linguistic diversity is connected to such frameworks as sustainable development (United Nations, 2015), inclusive education (UNESCO, 1994), and (global) citizenship education (UNESCO, 2022a). Drawing on rich data from recent ...

In this paper, I problematize the relation between videogames and the ecological crisis. Connecting ecocritical advances in game studies with the emerging wider paradigm of digital environmental media studies (DEMS), I interrogate if and how videogames, play, and game development can contribute to solving humankinds most existential challenges – climate change, species extinction, biosphere depletion, ...
