IS THERE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IN THE ACADEMIC DISCOURSE?
Authors: Прошина З.Г. 
Published: July 2024

статье рассматривается взаимоотношение такого понятия, как политкорректность, и концепции контактной вариантологии английского языка, нередко называемой «либеральным» направлением современной лингвистики и методики обучения английскому языку. Автор показывает, что, несмотря на некоторую схожесть политкорректности с принципами парадигмы World Englishes и их реализацией, это отличающиеся явления, имеющие разные функции и сферу употребления.
The article discusses the two conceptions that seem to have some similarities: political correctness and World Englishes (WE) paradigm, which is sometimes termed a ‘liberal’ movement of today’s fundamental and applied linguistics. The structure of the article includes several parts. Firstly, language manifestation of political correctness is discussed — in relation to national and ethnic features, gender, religion, social and physiological features. Secondly, the WE paradigm as a linguistic “liberation” conception is dwelt on — its major principles (pluricentricity, standard variability, equality, functionality, dynamism and continual heterogeneity of varieties) and its novelty are emphasized. Thirdly, some theses and concepts of the WE paradigm that are sometimes regarded in the mirror of political correctness are reflected on. The author argues that general humanitarian strain towards alleviation and strive for eliminating offense typical of political correctness are evident to a certain degree in the new linguistic and linguodidactic paradigm that is characterized by a changed terminological corpus, especially obvious in the use of technical terms and development of their meanings. The author focuses on such terms as interference — transfer; errors — deviations — distinctive features of varieties; “deficient” language — interlanguage — variety; variety — pidginized basilect; English as a Foreign Language — English as an International Language — International English — English as a Lingua Franca; correctness and appropriateness of speech; native speaker of a variety; authenticity of a text; translingualism and transculturality of authors who create authentic texts in a non-native language. Finally, the author concludes that despite the similarities (liberalism, equality, euphemization, tactfulness), the principles of the WE paradigm and their implementation differ from the political correctness phenomenon in functions and spheres of use. The phenomenon of political correctness is apt to be found in everyday speech and in mass media, while the WE paradigm belongs to a research and academic discourse. Their objectives are different, with political correctness aimed at developing tolerance and the World Englishes paradigm reflecting dramatic changes in language and education awareness due to the real life situation change. The WE paradigm is not a politically correct paradigm; it merely describes and reflects the dynamically changing real life linguistic situation generated by counteraction and integration of globalism and localism.
COMMUNICATIVE FUNCTION OF LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATIVES
Authors: Шаронов И.А. 
Published: July 2024

В статье рассматривается слабо исследованная языковая область, включающая единицы, не поддающиеся традиционным лингвистическим методам анализа: стереотипные употребления знаменательных и служебных слов и сочетаний в качестве коротких ответных реплик. Такие употребления обладают рядом особых прагматических и дискурсивных свойств и претендуют на статус самостоятельных языковых единиц. Мы называем такие единицы коммуникативами. Анализ нескольких коммуникативов демонстрирует необходимость лексикографического описания таких единиц на основе методов дискурсивно-прагматического анализа.
The study focuses on currently underexplored communicative units that are difficult to analyze and describe using traditional linguistic methods. We refer to grammatically vague response tokens pointing to the preceding utterance in a dialog: Подумаешь, Проехали, Сойдёт, Ну ещё бы, Ладно уж and so on. Typical usage of independent and functional words and word combinations as response tokens serves as a signal of the speaker’s communicative intentions in talk-in-interaction. These units are further referred to as communicatives. They have some specific pragmatic characteristics to be analyzed and made explicit. It is obvious that these units can be treated as a separate linguistic class or a functional group. A more adequate description of these linguistic units will require sociolinguistic and discursive methods. Their main pragmatic features are motivated by the dominance of the communicative function of the language over the nominative one. As a result, words and word combinations as response tokens reveal crucial deviations in their meaning, lose it and get new discursive characteristics instead. A communicative is the second part of dialogue adjacency pairs, such as “offer — acceptance or refusal to offer”, “compliment — response to compliment” and so on. The discursive position predetermines the speech act function of communicatives. Another relevant pragmatic feature related to communicatives is their expressive connotation. Communicatives are often accompanied by expressive gestures and mimics. Some traditional dictionaries view communicatives as special cases of word usage and mark them with a rhombus at the end of the dictionary entry followed by a short commentary. Such information is by no means insufficient for adequate use of communicatives, but the problem is that to date there is no reliable lexicographic scheme for describing such units. Russian communicatives are a challenge to foreign students as inappropriate use of these units is a diagnostic sign of “foreignness” along with an accent and incorrect use of idioms and verb aspect. The lexicographic method seems to be the best way to provide an explicit explanation of pragmatic features of communicatives. Taking into account that communicatives’ function in dialogues can be determined by applying discursive methods when analyzing the dialogue structure, it should be a very specialized dictionary.

Published: July 2024

Objective: This study investigates how firm transparency affects the relationship between adopting International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the comparability of financial statements in North African countries.

Theoretical Framework: The research is grounded in agency theory, suggesting increased transparency reduces information asymmetry between firms and stakeholders.

Method: The study employs a quantitative research design, using data from publicly traded companies in North Africa. A multiple PLS-SEM analysis is conducted to examine the interaction between firm transparency and IFRS adoption, and their combined effect on financial statement comparability. Data sources include financial reports and transparency indices over five years.

Results and Discussion: The findings indicate that while IFRS adoption alone improves financial statement comparability, the effect is significantly stronger for firms with higher levels of transparency. Transparent firms benefit more from IFRS adoption, as stakeholders find it easier to compare financial statements across different firms. The study highlights that transparency acts as a crucial moderating variable, amplifying the positive impacts of IFRS on comparability.

Research Implications: The results underscore the importance of enhancing firm transparency in conjunction with adopting IFRS to maximize financial reporting benefits. Policymakers and regulators in North African countries should focus on promoting transparency to support more effective financial reporting and decision-making.

Originality/Value: This research contributes to the limited literature on IFRS adoption in developing regions, particularly in North Africa. It provides new insights into how transparency influences the effectiveness of international accounting standards, offering valuable implications for both researchers and practitioners.

Published: July 2024

This article explores teachers' implementation of the English Language Policy in Indonesian schools, as it has changed significantly in the last decade. We conducted this study in four public schools in the town of Banjarnegara and one private school in the town of Wonosobo, Central Java Province, Indonesia. In this study, we employed a descriptive-qualitative method. The data were obtained through interviews. The study addresses three research questions, i.e. how is the school policy on English Language Teaching; how is the teachers’ planning on English Language Teaching; and how do the English teachers implement the policy and planning in their teaching. One school principal and five EFL teachers were interviewed for this purpose. The findings indicate that teachers’ attitudes towards English as a foreign language are influenced by their beliefs and government policy. Moreover, teachers use the curriculum to plan methodically, receive direction, and enhance their expertise. The Merdeka Curriculum allows teachers to use differentiated instructions and various approaches in learning activities, focusing on essential materials and creating a meaningful environment.
