Autobiography of Mrs. Fletcher of Edinburgh
No full textEliza Fletcher (born Eliza Dawson) (1770–1858) was an English writer, literary patron and supporter of parliamentary reform and liberal politics. Fletcher became a patron of the poets Ann Yearsley and Hannah More, and later in life formed friendships with prominent writers Elizabeth Gaskell and Harriet Martineau. After her marriage to politician and electoral reformer Archibald Fletcher in 1791, she became more radical in her political views. This volume, first published in 1874, contains Fletcher's autobiography, edited by her daughter, Lady Mary Richardson. Fletcher describes her life chronologically, providing fascinating detail on her childhood and adolescence, and citing correspondence illustrating her relationships with her friends. She provides sharp observations on political issues and describes the social and literary circles in which she moved, giving valuable information on literary society and politics during the early nineteenth century.

The political thought of Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun (1653-1716)
No full textDefence date: 27 March 2018Examining Board: Prof. Martin van Gelderen, European University Institute; Prof. Ann Thomson, European University Institute; Prof. Brian Young, University of Oxford; Prof. Charles-Édouard Levillain, Université Paris DiderotThe purpose of this thesis is twofold. On the one hand, it attempts to achieve a proper contextualisation of the works of the Scottish patriot Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun (1653-1712), drawing on but going beyond the studies of pure intellectual historians and focusing on Fletcher’s political stances. In this sense, his pamphlets are considered in chronological order and singularly in their most immediate context, that is the concrete issues they addressed, following the trajectory of their reception and the way they managed to modify the ongoing debates in relation to their practical aims. What emerges is the figure of a political activist rather than a systematic thinker, whose brilliant intuitions also belonged to the realm of concrete proposals rather than to utopian speculation only. On the other, the following dissertation bridges a gap in current historiography, constituting a first comprehensive and modern monograph on Fletcher. The introductory chapter indulges on his life, including some new sources and a specific section on his personal library. Chapter two focuses on the militia debate, exploring the distinctive radicality of Fletcher’s interventions, meant for an English and a Scottish audience. The third chapter deals with the economic reforms Fletcher designed for Scotland, reading them as an expression of English political arithmetic and a viable programme. The following chapter revolves around the intertwined ideas of reason of State and commerce, which Fletcher addressed in his Italian pamphlet on the Spanish succession crisis. The following section reconstructs the usage of the natural law theories in the debate about the Darien colony and Fletcher’s attack on the rise of factions in the English parliament. The closing chapter explores Fletcher’s role in the Union debates, looking at the reception of his parliamentary proposals and at the practical aims his last attributed publication tried to attain

Politeness Strategies Performed by Terrence Fletcher and Andrew Neiman in Whiplash Movie: A Pragmatic Study.
No full textUntuk menyampaikan maksud pada pendengarnya, penutur memerlukan perangkat untuk mendistribusikan maksud sehingga tidak ada kesalahpahaman antara penutur dan pendengar. Perangkat ini disebut komunikasi. Penutur yang mengkomunikasikan satu atau beberapa ujaran yang mempunyai makna dalam beberapa situasi kontekstual disebut Pragmatika. Yule (1996 p.3) dalam bukunya berjudul Pragmatics, menyatakan bahwa Pragmatika lebih berkaitan dengan analisis dari apa yang dimaksud oleh penutur dengan ucapan-ucapan mereka. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori strategi kesantunan dari Brown dan Levinson (1987). Mereka mengusulkan bahwa ada empat strategi kesantunan, diantaranya dengan cara: terus terang, kesantunan positif, kesantunan negatif, dan samar-samar.
Dalam studi ini, penulis menggunakan film Whiplash sebagai objek. Diikuti oleh masalah dari studi ini adalah: (1) strategi kesantunan dan tindakan ilokusi apakah yang dilakukan oleh Terrence Flethcer dan Andrew Neiman dalam percakapan mereka? Dan (2) Apakah konteks yang berbeda dapat mempengaruhi penggunaan strategi kesantunan yang digunakan oleh Terrence Fletcher dan Andrew Neiman? Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif untuk menentukan masalah studi. Penulis menggunakan transkrip dialog sebagai data utama dan kemudian dianalisis berdasarkan pada teori strategi kesantunan Brown dan Levinson dan juga korelasinya dengan konteks.
Temuan dari studi ini menyatakan bahwa kedua karakter memperagakan strategi kesantunan yang berbeda dalam dalam situasi yang berbeda pula. Dalam situasi latihan, Terrence sebagian besar menggunakan strategi terus terang terhadap Andrew begitupun sebaliknya. Dalam situasi percakapan memberi semangat, Terrence cenderung menggunakan strategi kesantunan positif dan Andrew kebanyakan menggunakan strategi terus terang dan juga strategi kesantunan positif. Sementara itu, dalam situasi yang terakhir yaitu Perlawanan Andrew, Terrence kebanyakan melakukan strategi terus terang dan begitu pula dengan Andrew
