Audiences' willingness to participate in Welsh-language media
No full textPhDContemporary media audiences expect to be able to interact with content, but in a minority language context, audience participation presents challenges related to audiences’ linguistic confidence. This thesis focuses on Wales, where media producers have suggested that audiences are often reluctant to interact with broadcast and online content in Welsh. To begin to understand this unwillingness, and how it might be overcome, the concept of willingness to participate (WTP) is coined as an extension of willingness to communicate (McCroskey & Baer 1985).
First, interviews with producers are analysed qualitatively to identify potential influences on audiences’ WTP. The analysis aims to assess the relative importance of various factors: audiences’ feelings of apprehension, self-perceived competence, language background and Welsh language ability, as well as the modality of participation (oral/written) and the level of demand placed on the audience.
Second, a questionnaire is designed and administered to 358 Welsh speakers, to examine audiences’ perceptions of different opportunities to participate in media content. A path model of WTP is proposed and tested using quantitative data from the survey. The results support the hypothesis that audiences’ apprehension and self-perceived competence predict WTP and that audience response varies according to the media context. While audiences’ Welsh language skills are important in explaining their WTP, other aspects of language background, such as Welsh language acquisition context, are found to be less important.
Third, the survey sample is grouped according to common patterns of WTP, to test whether the above effects are consistent across the population or whether different ‘types’ of audience exist. Using a combination of cluster analysis and thematic analysis of audience comments, four types of audience are proposed and described in detail. Finally, implications for sociolinguistic theory, language maintenance and media production practice are considered and recommendations made.Arts and Humanities Research Counci
Nation building : implementing devolution in the United Kingdom— the Welsh experience
No full textPaper presented to the IBIS conference, Renovation or revolution? new territorial politics in Ireland and the United Kingdom, University College Dublin, 3 April 2002.The Welsh experience of devolution can best be summarised by contrasting it with the Scottish. Where Scotland had an established array of civic institutions, the National Assembly of Wales found itself in the position of having to construct an institutional reality. The Assembly faced a number of constraints: its powers were limited to those previously held by the Secretary of State for Wales, and it was established as a corporate body. However, it soon became clear that the view of the Assembly as a continuation from previous administrations was unsustainable. This paper discusses the role of a number of key characters and agencies in redefining the nature of the National Assembly. In addition to the development of a strong central authority the author tracks the related emergence of a new civic culture in Wales. The paper concludes by examining the broader impact of the Welsh experience of devolution on territorial politics within the British Isles, and Welsh engagement with a network of European regions.Not applicableti,co,ab.kpw8/7/1
POLA TANAM JAHE EMPRIT (Zingiber officinale Var. amarum) DENGAN BAWANG DAUN DAN KACANG MERAH DI KABUPATEN MAJALENGKA JAWA BARAT
No full textIntercropping of Emprit Ginger (Zingiber officinale var. amarum) With Red bean and welsh onion in Majalengka District, West JavaThe experiment was conducted to study the appropriate intercropping which is technically feasible and economically profitable. The experiment was conducted at Cipanas, Werasari Village, Sub District Batarujek, District of Majalengka from November 2002 to August 2003. Evaluation of intercropping include as followed : I. Emprit Ginger (monoculture), II. Emprit Ginger + Welsh onion, III. Emprit Ginger + Red bean. Plant spacing for emprit ginger was 60 cm x 30 cm, while for welsh onion and red bean was 20 cm x 20 cm. Data collection for each intercropping include using of material used, labor, equipment and production of each commodities. Analyzed of input-out put and B/C ratio were used to determined the most efficient of intercropping. The results of experiment indicated that all of intercropping give a signi-ficantly of farmer income. The range of income was Rp. 2.297.700,- to Rp. 2.773.400,- per m2 with B/C ratio 2,3 -2,4. Intercropping of Emprit Ginger with Welsh onion gave the highest farmer income Rp. 2.773.400,- per m2 with B/C ratio 2,4. Then followed by intercropping of Ginger Emprit with Red bean Rp. 2.443.730,- with B/C ratio 2.3 and Monoculture of Emprit Ginger Rp. 2.297.700,- per m2. The highest income on intercropping of Emprit Ginger + Welsh onion and Emprit Ginger + Red bean may due to added income from welsh onion and red bean, although the cost production was also higher. By using model of intercropping system with welsh onion and red bean on Emprit Ginger production beside increase of farmer income, farmer also received added income before the main crop (ginger) harvested. It was also minimize the risk of failure of harvesting due to diseases attack.
Quality of Welsh Legislation
No full textThis LLM dissertation suggests that the process of devolution has affected the quality of legislation in Wales. The author argues that the quality of devolved Welsh legislation has been influenced by ineffective legal terminology in the Welsh language available to make the drafting of Welsh consistent with English drafting and on its own with the policy. In addition it is suggested that the quality of Welsh legislation has been affected by problems of inaccessibility due to amendment, cross reference and inter related provisions
A ‘NEW NORMAL’ OF CODE-SWITCHING: COVID-19, THE INDONESIAN MEDIA AND LANGUAGE CHANGE
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic has changed behavioural norms and how people conceptualise everyday life. It has led to prolific use of specific terminology that is new or was previously outside the lexical boundaries of common use. Terms like ‘social distancing’, ‘lockdown’ and ‘new normal' were previously jargon limited to specialist fields. The COVID-19 pandemic which spread globally in 2020 has led to great social change and an associated lexical influence. To study this phenomenon, we examine the lexical effects of COVID-19 on the Indonesian language, through analysis of two well-known Indonesian national newspapers – Kompas and Suara Pembaruan, for the month of May 2020. This was at a time of growing awareness of COVID-19 in Indonesia, that included a partial lockdown in Jakarta. As such, there was a great deal of attention to COVID-19 in the mass media. To study this, we apply quantitative content analysis to the sample data to identify the range and frequency of words borrowed from English. We examine this use of code-switching to also undertake qualitative analysis, exploring the various socio-linguistic dimensions of those borrowed terms. Some usage was found to address lexical gaps in Indonesian language, where other usage appeared more for stylistic, emphatic purposes, drawing on the semiotic power of English in the Indonesian context. Code-switching reiteration was particularly prominent in the sample data. We argue that through code-switching reiteration, the print media can introduce new foreign vocabulary to Indonesian readers, which subsequently generates opportunities for language change. COVID-19 has expedited this process, meaning that there has been an increased likelihood of Indonesian language change during 2020
