No full textOur self-image is shaped through dynamic, context-dependent discursive processes influenced by how we view others and how they view us. These representations often rely on linguistic resources and cultural traditions, highlighting binary oppositions—frequently negative—to define identity. While common sense tends to favor such oppositions, difference only gains meaning alongside similarity. Across disciplines, both aspects are crucial in shaping identity narratives. Recently, however, binary and essentialist identity discourses have gained strength globally due to political and ideological factors. This trend is especially evident today in Catalan-speaking contexts, raising concerns about how identities are constructed and represented in public discourse.
This study begins by reflecting on the complex issue of representing the self, the collective "us," and the Other—an enduring concern across the humanities addressed through multiple perspectives and purposes. Rather than aiming for an exhaustive overview, we present a selection of frameworks that focus on the representation of social actors and events using linguistic and discursive approaches. More specifically, we introduce four key theoretical frameworks: critical discourse studies, imagology, narrative theory, and framing. These approaches are inherently multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and often interwoven. They offer essential tools to analyze how identities and social realities are constructed discursively and interpreted through sociolinguistic, cognitive, and—though not explored here—literary lenses.
A central goal of these frameworks is to understand how individuals use language and cognition to make sense of their lives and environments. Language plays a pivotal role in shaping social meaning and identity, acting as the medium through which belonging and difference are negotiated. This aligns with classic classification theories proposed by Durkheim and Lévi-Strauss, which emphasize the social function of organizing the world through oppositions and affinities.
While conceptually related, the selected approaches differ in hierarchy, focus, and method. The study first outlines their distinct features and contributions to understanding identity representation. It then explores how these frameworks intersect and complement one another, concluding with a rationale for their inclusion in this collective scholarly effort
Entre diferença i semblança. La representació del món catalanoparlant en el discurs d'avui i d'ahir
No full textGli studi raccolti in questo volume propongono, da una pluralità di prospettive disciplinari, una riflessione articolata sulle diverse dinamiche che configurano le rappresentazioni del mondo catalano, sulle conseguenze e i rischi insiti nei binarismi, nonché sulla complessità dei processi di costruzione delle immagini identitarie nella sfera pubblica catalana.
L’analisi di tali questioni si colloca all’interno di un quadro metodologico multidisciplinare, interdisciplinare e transdisciplinare, che comprende contributi di natura linguistica, discorsiva, traduttologica, mediatica, culturale e di genere, affrontati sia in una prospettiva sincronica sia in una diacronica
O português de Angola: perceção, avaliação e norma
No full textPartindo da consideração do português como língua pluricêntrica e com base no quadro teórico-metodológico da sociolinguística variacionista de Labov, o presente trabalho procura avaliar, no caso de Angola, a percepção dos falantes em relação às variedades angolana e europeia do português e a eventual interferência dos fatores sociais nessa percepção, na medida em que a percepção dos falantes está na base da situação de “esquizofrenia linguística” característica das “variedades não-dominantes”: a norma nacional é geralmente praticada, mas depreciada, enquanto a norma oficial, correspondente, neste caso, à do português europeu, é pouco praticada, mas muito apreciada

Full text linkThis paper addresses the pluricentricity of Romanian, focusing on the two non-dominant varieties spoken in Serbia, Vojvodina Romanian and Vlach Romanian. We will discuss the development and current situation of the two varieties and will examine the differences between them regarding their historical and sociolinguistic context, official status in Serbia, self-identification of the speakers and identification of the outgroup, attitudes towards and linguistic distance from Romania Romanian. We will also discuss the differences in what concerns norm creation and codification: while Vojvodina Romanian is characterized by a low degree of autonomy towards the dominant variety and a general exonormative attitude, Vlach Romanian has started to codify its own proper norms and is undergoing a process of endonormative standardization

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
