1. Beyond the Headlines: Media and Information Literacy (MIL) in Times of Conflict

Author

Anna Kozlowska-Barrios, Lusine Grigoryan, Michael Hoechsmann, and Blaise Pascal Andzongo Menyeng

Abstract

The wars of the 21st century are not the first media wars, and many tropes and schema have long histories, particularly propaganda and the othering of a purported enemy. What is new today is that although mass media remains a central and hegemonic source of insight and perspective, citizen journalism, social media, spreadable media, and surveillant, data-driven media have grown in significance at an exponential level, adding a layer of complexity. In this article, we focus on disparity in media coverage and make the point that media and information literacy provide a valuable set of lenses from which to view a cluster of news and social media accounts taken from the government, mainstream media, alternative media, and the DIY mediasphere of the social media. It centers on two conflicts that receive little media exposure--the Nagorno-Karabash conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan and the internal Anglo-Francophone conflict in Cameroon. It also offers examples of classroom activities that could be adapted and modified to most educational settings.

7. SUR UNE REGLE DE 'CACAPHONIE' (ON A RULE OF 'CACAPHONY').

Author

National Center of Scientific Research, Paris (France). Blaise Pascal Inst. and GROSS, MAURICE

Abstract

A TRANSFORMATIONAL ANALYSIS OF MODERN FRENCH GRAMMAR IS SIMILAR TO THE "RULE OF CACAPHONY" PROPOSED BY PORT-ROYAL GRAMMARIANS TO AVOID BAD PRONUNCIATION. BY MEANS OF CERTAIN REWRITE RULES, THE CORRECT USAGE OF THE PARTITIVE (DE) CAN BE TAUGHT AND EXPLAINED MORE SIMPLY THAN WAS POSSIBLE USING THE TRADITIONAL METHOD. THE RULE OF CACAPHONY (RC) IS VERY USEFUL IN THE STUDY OF NOUN DETERMINERS AND NOUN COMPLEMENTS, AND REVEALS SOME IMPORTANT NOTIONS ABOUT NOMINAL GROUPS AS FUNCTIONS OF THEIR DETERMINERS AND OF THEIR GRAMMATICAL ROLES IN THE SENTENCE. THE DETERMINERS ARE LIMITED TO THREE CLASSES--(1) THE DEFINITE ARTICLE, (2) POSSESSIVE AND DEMONSTRATIVE ADJECTIVES, AND (3) CARDINAL NUMBERS AND THE FOLLOWING INDEFINITES--THE PLURAL INDEFINITE ARTICLE "DES" (DE LES) AND THE PARTITIVES"DE LA" (DE L') AND "DU" (DE LE OR DE L'). TRANSFORMATION THEORY CAN ALSO BE APPLIED TO NOMINALIZATIONS FROM VERB TO NOUN FORMS, TO PASSIVE CONSTRUCTIONS, AND TO THE STRUCTURING OF ADVERBIAL PHRASES. THIS ARTICLE IS PUBLISHED IN THE FRENCH JOURNAL "ART," NUMBER 4, MARCH 1967. (FB)
