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

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.
