Introduction In this thesis the focus is on professional sports and how the media (linguistically) represent athletes not on sports as a leisure time activity. Language is an important tool to spread ideas and beliefs, and ideas and beliefs, in turn, influence language. In news about sports we therefore find stereotypes and ideologies about sports, about gender and race of an athlete, and about many other issues. Commonly shared beliefs are included within texts and texts add to the creation of beliefs. In order to understand this process I want to give a very simple example. Let us take the Austrian football squad, for instance. The team is commonly rather smiled at and not taken very seriously as previous results were more often disappointing than convincing. If the squad were to win an important World Cup qualification game against the current European Champion Spain, the media would probably come up with headlines such as “Surprising success of the Austrian team against the European Champion” or “David beats Goliath – Austria on its way to the World Cup”. These invented headlines on the one hand represent the commonly shared idea of the Austrian team being clearly inferior to the Spanish team, but would, if they were actual headlines, also spread it, because everyone who is confronted with the headline automatically gets the impression that this success was rather caused by luck than by competence. The choice and positioning of words, the structure and grammar of a text as well as the use of metaphors influence how we perceive the given information. On the following pages, I will take a look at stereotypes and ideologies about the represented individuals, namely about the athletes. A professional athlete is usually considered as strong, well-trained, attractive and highly competitive. These are only a few characteristics that can be assigned to an athlete. This thesis will, however, not concentrate on this athlete, but will focus on an unfortunately less respected subcategory of athletes. If we categorise athletes, we can either group them in terms of the type of sport they practise, according to their gender and age, or according to their degree of profession. We can also distinguish between able-bodied athletes and athletes with a disability. The thesis will focus on the disabled athlete. A disabled athlete is generally not considered very strong and attractive due to her/his impairment and s/he is also not perceived as very competitive as s/he will never achieve the same goals as a sportsperson without a disability. This fact, besides others such as complicated classification systems and a lack of interest of the public, makes it very difficult for the media to report about disability sports. Media coverage is therefore very low. Nevertheless, articles on disability sports exist, and those articles contain a huge amount 1 of ideologies and stereotypes about disability in general and about disabled athletes. The word disabled implies that a person, for whatever reason, is not able to do something. If we consider that sports on the contrary demand specific abilities, it becomes very clear why this topic is so interesting. In the face of this contrast it is difficult to accept the professional character of disability sports for many people. In this thesis, I will attempt to uncover concealed ideologies about mentally and physically impaired athletes in newspaper articles by analysing linguistic features of online newspaper articles on disability sports and interpreting them carefully. The first part of this thesis provides all the necessary information to understand the relevance of the second, the empirical part. In this part, I will first of all give a brief introduction to the terminology of disability (also concerning the terminology used in this thesis) and how the term is socially constructed. I will explain how disability sports actually developed and how the media deal with it. The main reasons for the above mentioned lack of media coverage will be discussed and I will try to explain why the ‘Other’, referring to something or someone different from ourselves, on the one hand fascinates us, and on the other hand scares us. Another very interesting issue which will be discussed is the difference between types and stereotypes and the development of the latter. I will further focus on a few stereotypes about people with a disability which are regularly used by the media and I will try to explain why the idea of a discrepancy between sports and disability exists, and which factors influence the development of this idea. The method which will be applied in order to analyse the data in the empirical part of this thesis, is the method of critical discourse analysis. As there is an undeniable connection between language, ideologies and power, I will briefly explain a few approaches on the issue, relating them to the relevance of this method and show how it can actually be carried out on the example of Norman Fairclough’s approach. The second part of this thesis starts with my research question and some sub-questions I defined. Method and data are briefly explained and I will then evaluate the results I achieved by linguistically analysing the online newspaper articles that form my corpus. These findings are thus used to strengthen or weaken the hypotheses I suggested following my research question. The empirical part is divided in two big chapters, of which the one deals with the media’s focus on the personal tragedies of the athletes and the other with the image of non- competitiveness of disabled athletes and disability sports. In these chapters I will also try to illustrate my findings by giving concrete examples from my corpora. 2 The main aim of this thesis is to come to conclusions concerning my hypotheses about biographical emphasis and the image of non-competitiveness in articles

  • Monetary Policy Oversight in Comparative Perspective: Britain and America During the Financial Crisis
    Political Science and Political Economy Working Paper Department of Government London School of Economics No. 3/2014 Monetary Policy Oversight in Comparative Perspective: Britain and America during the Financial Crisis Cheryl Schonhardt-Bailey (LSE) Monetary Policy Oversight in Comparative Perspective: Britain and America During the Financial Crisis Cheryl Schonhardt-Bailey Government Department London School of Economics and Political Science Houghton Street London WC2A 2AE [email protected] http://personal.lse.ac.uk/schonhar/ This study examines deliberation on monetary policy oversight in the US and UK between 2006 and 2009. It employs reciprocity as the key criterion for judging the quality of monetary policy oversight deliberation (i.e., committee participants are expected to engage with one another, taking up and responding to the reasons offered by other participants). Using automated content analysis, the empirical finding is that reciprocity is clearly evident in the parliamentary oversight committee, but much less so in the two congressional committees. The two country cases represent very different approaches to legislative oversight, with the UK demonstrating a committee approach both in terms of the testimony of the monetary policy body and of the behaviour of the legislative committee, while the US demonstrates a focus on a series of individual contributions both from the Fed chairman and Members of Congress. In the US, this appears to allow greater scope to divert discussion away from the primary focus of hearings (i.e., monetary policy). 1 I. Introduction In normal economic times, clashes between politicians and central bankers in legislative oversight hearings on monetary policy are not typically considered worthy of headline news coverage.

The Manchester 2020 Para Powerlifting World Cup was the last qualification event to take place before the global coronavirus pandemic led to the postponement of the other qualification events and eventually the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games themselves. We are delighted that the UK will be welcoming back the para powerlifting community for the second of the new round of qualification events, to the same city and venue as in 2020. To be able to support athletes from across the world to continue to realise their Paralympic ambitions is a privilege and I am thoroughly looking forward to witnessing their performances in Manchester. Great Britain is a country which is safe for international athletes to travel, with special travel arrangements in place for elite international teams negotiated through the UK Government. We are working closely with our national and local public health officials to ensure a secure and Covid-safe event. The health and wellbeing of para powerlifting athletes is of utmost importance and will be a key factor throughout this event. Manchester is a city renowned for high class sporting events as well as being an international destination for sport, tourism and business.

  • 'Marsh Exposes the Basic Problem of the Euro: No One's in Charge
    ‘Marsh exposes the basic problem of the euro: no one’s in charge. Monetary union was a colossally risky experiment launched without adequate crisis management precautions and without centralised political oversight. Unlike the other countries, Britain properly analysed the risks and decided, rightly, to stay out. It’s a pity that other Europeans didn’t show similar caution.’ —Lord (John) McFall, member of the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee, former chair, House of Commons Treasury Committee ‘David Marsh has once again placed his finger on the gaping wounds that continue to afflict the European Monetary Union. While not everyone will agree with his conclusions – and a great many more will hope that he is wrong – he has built a cogent case for being very worried about the future of the single currency.’ —Prof. Michael Burda, School of Business and Economics, Humboldt University of Berlin ‘Europe is brilliantly right because it has achieved zero prospect of war, an achievement no other region can match. Yet it’s also brilliantly wrong because it has tried to achieve an impossible dream: monetary union without fiscal union. Marsh explains well the European mess and even suggests a solution. His book is a must-read for European policy-makers. Even Asians may learn a lesson or two.’ —Prof. Kishore Mahbubani, dean, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore ‘A brilliant and incisive analysis of the intractable practical and political problems facing the euro and why the hopes of its founders have been disappointed.’ —Lord (Christopher) Tugendhat, chair, House of Lords EU External Affairs Committee, former European commissioner ‘The fate of the euro area is the most momentous public issue of our times and there is no better guide than this gripping, well-informed study by the leading expert on its genesis and development.’ —Prof.
