  • Human Rights of Women Wearing the Veil in Western Europe
    Human Rights of Women Wearing the Veil in Western Europe Research Paper I. Introduction The present paper analyses legislation, policies, and case-law surrounding religious attire in a number of countries in Western Europe and how they affect the human rights of women and girls who wear the veil in Western Europe. It also more broadly analyses discrimination and violence experienced by women wearing the veil in Europe learning from their own voice. Throughout the paper, the terminology ‘veil’ is used to refer to a variety of religious attire worn mostly, but not exclusively, by Muslim women. There are different types of clothing that cover the body. This research is focused on manifestations of veils that are the subject of regulation in several Western European Countries. They include the hijab (a piece of clothing that covers the head and neck, but not the face), niqab (a piece of clothing that covers the face, where only the eyes are visible), burqa (a piece of clothing that covers both the face and eyes), jilbab (a loose piece of clothing that covers the body from head to toe), or abaya, kaftan, kebaya (a loose, often black, full body cover overcoat). The head and body covers are often combined. In several countries, some of these clothing are based on traditional costumes rather than religion and are often worn by rural communities in the countries of origins. The paper also uses the terminology ‘full-face veil’ or ‘face-covering veil’ to refer to both niqab and burqa. Furthermore, it refers to burkini, a swimsuit that covers the body from head to ankles, completed by a dress.

Distribué fin 1979 en France par la maison de disque Vogue, le 45 tours Rappers’ Delight du groupe Sugarhill Gang devient un tube de discothèque vendu à près de 600 000 exemplaires. Puis, dès 1982, une poignée de Français résidant à New York dont le journaliste et producteur de disques Bernard Zekri initie la première tournée hip hop en France, le New York City Rap Tour et invite le Rocksteady Crew, Grandmaster DST et Afrika Bambaataa pour une série de performances à Paris, Londres, mais aussi Lyon, Strasbourg et Mulhouse. Enfin, en 1984, le musicien, DJ et animateur radio Sidney lance l’émission hebdomadaire « H.I.P. H.O.P. » sur la première chaîne de télévision du pays.

  • The Strategic Value of Pronominal Choice: Exclusive and Inclusive “We” in Political Panel Debates
    Pragmatics 23:2.361-383 (2013) International Pragmatics Association DOI: 10.1075/prag.23.2.07ver THE STRATEGIC VALUE OF PRONOMINAL CHOICE: EXCLUSIVE AND INCLUSIVE “WE” IN POLITICAL PANEL DEBATES Bram Vertommen Abstract This study explores the use of the first person plural pronoun “we/wij” by government and opposition party members in panel debates from the Flemish talk show De Zevende Dag. Both groups of politicians enter this arena with divergent communicative goals, which has clear implications (i) for the type of propositions in which subclasses of “we/wij”-pronouns are generally involved and (ii) for the politicians’ assessment of the status of these propositions. Patterns with regard to these three implications are analyzed by means of a systemic functional approach supported with quantitative data. It is claimed that government and opposition party discussants either employ distinct patterns in accordance with their different aims, or that they use similar ones, albeit with divergent discourse functions. The former scenario turns out to be true in the case of exclusive uses of “we/wij” and the latter in the case of inclusive meanings. In that way, the paper sheds light on subtle differences in how government and opposition party discussants argue and deal with the invisible presence of an overhearing broadcast audience. Keywords: Pronominal reference; Political panel debates; Systemic functional linguistics (SFL); Appraisal; Pragmatics; Activity type. 1. Introduction1 In line with an increasing tendency in broadcasting media to present more compelling, attractive and dramatic forms of (political) interviewing, panel debates have become a commonplace in television shows from the 1980s onward (Clayman & Heritage 2002: 1 This research formed part of the master thesis I wrote when I was enrolled in the Master of Advanced Studies in Linguistics (Cognitive and Functional Linguistics, University of Leuven, 2009- 2010).
