Examining diffe- rent branches (specialties) of the communication discipline and focusing on four possible practices, by comparison, differentiation, collating and corroboration, the current study brings arguments for a branch of the communication discipline that has as unique practical aim the communicational intervention, the practical, direct and strict application of communication research. Communication, as disci- pline, must create an instrument of intervention. The discipline which studies communication globally (General Communication Science) has developed a strong component of theoretical and practical research of communication phenomena (Applied Communication Research), and within a niche theory (Grounded Prac- tical Theory – Robert T. Craig & Karen Tracy, 1995) took incidentally into account the direct, practical application of communication research. We propose Practical Communication Intervention, as speciality of communication as an academic discipline. Practical Communication Intervention must be a field specialty in the universe of communication.

The Interrupted Intercourse in the Election Communication: Pragmatic Aspect
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SCIENCE EDUCATION 2016, VOL. 11, NO. 11, 4040-4053 OPEN ACCESS The Interrupted Intercourse in the Election Communication: Pragmatic Aspect Olga K. Andryuchshenkoa, Gulnara S. Suyunovaa, Bibigul Dz. Nygmetovaa and Ekaterina P. Garaninaa aPavlodar State Pedagogical Institute, Pavlodar, KAZAKHSTAN ABSTRACT The article provides analysis of the interrupted communication as part of the communication in the election discourse. The authors explored the most typical reasons for the interrupted communication in the electoral discourse analyzed communication failures as a kind of ineffective communication. Communication failures are presented as a result of interrupted communication, which may be determined by several reasons. The paper disclosed the key reason of these failures - the intention of the speaker - the reluctance to continue the conversation for one reason or another. The communication failures in terms of the election discourse were typical largely for the election debate, characterized by the impossibility of predicting future responses, uncomfortable questions that often required non-standard speech decisions on the part of the speaker. The study established the relationship between the ability of a politician to maintain effective communication and the creation of his positive or negative political image. Psychological causes of interrupted speech present a separate group: the emotional state of the speaker, his perception or non- perception of the opponent, the ability to transfer the required

Political Discourse, an Analysis Between Communication and Linguistics
Available online at www.aucjc.ro Annals of the University of Craiova for Journalism, Communication and Management Volume 4, 46-54, 2018 ISSN 2501-3513 POLITICAL DISCOURSE, AN ANALYSIS BETWEEN COMMUNICATION AND LINGUISTICS Bianca Mădălina TEODORESCU PhD Candidate, University of Craiova, Romania Abstract Political discourse has always fascinating, both from a social perspective, moral and linguistic. If we look in the past, we can see that the politicians have always chosen the words carefully, just to bring them almost to the people. This paper is based on a meta-analytical method, in which it is identified an analysis of political discourse that is starting to begin with the meaning of a language used by political people, thus marking a research on a linguistic plan, and at the same time a returning to the origin of the words and how they have experienced transformations over time. Currently, the political discourse consists in words who are carefully chosen having wa common language meant to attract audiences, but in the same trying, somehow, to create a new form of political language formula, using more a returning to the past, relying on the use of words that remind of moments in history.

Introduction Professor Rodica Zafiu (2007) shows that the Philology and Linguistics had belonged to literature for many years, and the political speeches haven’t been scientifically researched until around 1950. At the beginning of the 20’s century, when the researches in linguistic are starting to create a studying for special forms of languages, the political one is becoming a new space to explore for the specialists.

The Internet and Politics: Transformation of Political Communication
International Conference on Research in Humanities and Social Sciences Serbia | Belgrade | December 15-17, 2018 THE INTERNET AND POLITICS: TRANSFORMATION OF POLITICAL COMMUNICATION Asuman Kutlu Beykent University ABSTRACT Perceived as a professional process in modern democracies, political communication is the interdisciplinary study of the interrelationships between the political system, the media system and citizenship and mainly concerned with how information spreads through media influences politics. The emergence of fast evolving digital technologies has changed the way in which political communication takes considering a wide range of new opportunities and strategies allowing political actors and citizens to rebuild the process. The internet has removed the limitations of conventional media through providing an interactive platform for discussion and debate and changing the relationship between information producers and consumers. Political parties and actors can directly address their voters through their websites and use online communication platforms in election campaigns for their political goals. On the other hand, traditional political acts such as demonstration marches and rallies can be organized through online facilities offered by the Internet. This study focuses on mediated political communication and the changes related to the inclusion of information and communication technologies in politics and the use of digital technologies by political actors in Turkey to achieve their political purposes. Key words: Political communication, Turkey, new communication technologies, politics, elections. Introduction The media acts as bridge between political actors and public and the 2008 Obama Presidential campaign is considered to revolutionize politics and political process. When he announced his candidacy in 2007, Twitter had just started and Obama was the first American president who understood the power and the political relevance of social media just as John F.

A History of the Study of Political Communication JOMC 890 Tuesday, 9:00-11:45Am, Carroll 338
A History of the Study of Political Communication JOMC 890 Tuesday, 9:00-11:45am, Carroll 338 Professor: Daniel Kreiss Office: 377 Carroll Hall E-mail: [email protected] Hours: 12pm-1pm, Tuesday Phone: 415.238.6924 (mobile) and by appointment Twitter: @kreissdaniel Overview This course will engage students in an interdisciplinary and mixed methods set of readings that can broadly be considered to comprise the history of political communication research. The goal of this course is to move beyond the current theoretical and methodological paradigms of the field, and consider historically how scholars have studied the organization, production, and effects of political communication and their democratic consequences. In addition, we will explore new frontiers of research that expand our conception and understanding of political communication from scholars of many other disciplines. This course is designed to make an argument about what the study of political communication was, how it has changed, and what it could be. As such, it is not a formal intellectual history, although we will encounter readings that do just that. The readings in this course are by no means comprehensive of political communication research and its many subfields. Even more, many scholars we will read may not recognize themselves as ‘political communication’ researchers, even though that describes their objects of analyses. For the purposes of this course, the borders around ‘political communication’ are deliberately ill-defined - at its broadest, it is the study of the institutional (campaigns, legislative bodies, the presidency, the press, civil society organizations) and extra- institutional (movements) actors, events, processes, and technologies that constitute democratic life.

Keywords: pecel, traditional food, political communication, semiotics 1. Introduction You are what you eat. Such a famous sentence is ambiguous. Seen from its denotative meaning, it means that human body consists of what it consumes. However, such sentence also has connotative meaning, since food is not only as human need. Studies from many social science such as Anthropology, Sociology as well as Communication revealing that various kinds of processed meat and vegetable or fruits are not only as means satisfy hunger. Food has a meaning that could be translated into social strata, economy level, characteristic or even reflecting culture.

Craig May 1999 Pages Communication Theory as a Field 119-161 This essay reconstructs communication theory as a dialogical-dialecti- cal field according to two principles: the constitutive model of com- munication as a metamodel and theory as metadiscursive practice. The essay argues that all communication theories are mutually relevant when addressed to a practical lifeworld in which “communication” is already a richly meaningful term. Each tradition of communication theory derives from and appeals rhetorically to certain commonplace beliefs about communication while challenging other beliefs. The complementarities and tensions among traditions generate a theoreti- cal metadiscourse that intersects with and potentially informs the ongoing practical metadiscourse in society. In a tentative scheme of the field, rhetorical, semiotic, phenomenological, cybernetic, socio- psychological, sociocultural, and critical traditions of communication theory are distinguished by characteristic ways of defining communi- cation and problems of communication, metadiscursive vocabularies,
