Opis: This master's thesis examines the inclusion of field-related elements in the coursebook High Note 1 for hairdressing students at the secondary vocational school of design in Maribor. The theoretical part of the thesis provides an overview of the development of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), early theories of the communicative approach, the communicative approach defined by the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and first foreign language programs in Slovenia. The empirical part of the thesis includes the analysis of the coursebook High Note 1 and its appropriateness for hairdressing students as well as two online questionnaires, for both students and their ESP teachers, with analysis of the results and the interpretations of results collected through the questionnaires. The thesis aims to explore the inclusion of ESP elements in the coursebook as well as to highlight the importance of not having sufficient field-related elements incorporated into the students' coursebooks. The thesis also provides a suggestion unit on how ESP and general English elements could be incorporated into a tailored coursebook that would cater to the students' needs.
Ključne besede: English for Specific Purposes (ESP), Student Needs Analysis, Professional Communication, Inclusion of ESP Elements in Coursebooks, Vocational Education, Hairdressing.

Opis: The thesis analyses two selected war speeches by former British Prime Ministers Winston Churchill and Boris Johnson by using appraisal theory based mainly on the work of James R. Martin and Peter R. R. White. Furthermore, it deals with the history of rhetoric, political oratory and the theory of war speeches. According to the latter, politicians and leaders try to strategically persuade their audiences that armed conflict is necessary to confront the supposed or actual aggressor to preserve sovereignty. ‘Arm Yourselves, and Be Ye Men of Valour’ by Winston Churchill marks a crucial moment in British history. On May 19, 1940, during the Second World War, Churchill addressed the British nation for the first time as Prime Minister. In his speech, he briefly explained the situation at the front, tried to appease the listeners and ensure victory over the aggressor. Contrarily, Boris Johnson’s address to the Ukrainian parliament was the first address by a foreign politician after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Similarly, Johnson ensured a victory for the Ukrainians with the help of the Allied countries. Afterward, he focused on his beliefs and the need to maintain a close relationship with Ukraine. The thesis attempts to quantitatively analyse the interpersonal meanings in speeches according to the categories of the appraisal system, as well as establish and compare the predominant features of British war oratory.

Opis: Prispevek predstavlja korpusno podprto raziskavo rabe izraza zelen v kontekstu okoljskih podnebnih sprememb v primerjavi z njegovo splošno rabo. Osrednji del prispevka predstavi analizo besede zelen z uporabo korpusa Gigafida 2.0 in terminološkega vira Termania. Raziskava kaže, da so v korpusu Gigafida 2.0 najmočnejše kolokacije s pridevnikom zelen v pomenu varovanja okolja izrazi, ki se nanašajo na politične stranke in njihovo delovanje (zelena koalicija, zelena alternativa), in izrazi s področja gospodarstva in turizma (zelena energija, zelena destinacija, zeleno gospodarstvo). Zanimivo je, da izraz zeleni prehod v obravnavanih virih ni na seznamu najmočnejših kolokacij. Domnevamo, da je razlog v tem, da se je ta zveza začela uveljavljati šele v obdobju, ki besedilno ni več zajeto v korpus Gigafida 2.0

Opis: Magistrsko delo se poglobi v analizo političnega jezika v poročilih spletnega političnega medija Politico v kontekstu slovenske politike. To je izredno pomembno v obdobju naraščajoče globalizacije informacij in komunikacije, saj razkriva, kako se jezik nacionalne politike oblikuje in širi na svetovnem odru. Razumevanje političnega jezika v člankih Politico zahteva teoretske osnove. Kritična analiza diskurza služi kot temeljni okvir za razumevanje političnega namena jezikovne rabe v medijskem diskurzu. Teorija vrednotenja po Martinu in Whiteu omogoča natančnejšo analizo evalvacijskega jezika, ki pomaga razkriti stališča in vrednote v besedilu. Pred začetkom raziskave smo si zastavili štiri hipoteze, ki se nanašajo na ne-nevtralnost v člankih Politico o slovenski politiki. Raziskava se osredotoča na raziskovanje odnosa med mednarodnim medijskim diskurzom in slovensko politiko ter ugotavljanje, ali je medijska slika Slovenije v svetu pretežno negativna. Magistrsko delo se opira na raznolika dela s področja diskurzne analize in teorije vrednotenja, vključno z deli Martina & Whita, Martina & Rosa ter drugih v funkcionalni lingvistiki. Metodologija raziskave združuje kvalitativno analizo jezika in teorijo vrednotenja po Martinu in Whiteu. Kvalitativna analiza besedil omogoča sistematično preučevanje vzorcev, tem in retoričnih strategij v poročilih Politico. Teorija vrednotenja po Martinu in Whiteu pa omogoča ocenjevanje evalvacijskega jezika, ki razkriva stališča in vrednote znotraj besedila. Raziskava temelji na analizi člankov Politico o slovenski politiki med leti 2020-2022. Rezultati razkrivajo več ponavljajočih se vzorcev v načinu, kako Politico predstavlja slovensko politiko, vključno s statistično analizo elementov jezika vrednotenja. Analiza podpira večino hipotez, ki so bile postavljene v uvodu, in razkriva, da popolnoma nevtralno politično novinarstvo praktično ni dosegljivo. Razumevanje, kako mednarodni mediji konstruirajo diskurz o slovenski politiki, je ključno za politike in znanstvenike. To razkriva, kako se politična dejanja lahko predstavijo na mednarodni ravni, ter prispeva k rastočemu področju analize političnega diskurza. Magistrsko delo je uspešno doseglo svoje cilje, razkrivajoč ne-nevtralnost v jeziku člankov Politica o slovenski politiki. Razumevanje delovanja političnega diskurza v medijih je ključnega pomena za kritično ocenjevanje medijskih prispevkov in boljše razumevanje vpliva politike na mednarodni ravni.
Ključne besede: slovenska politika, konstrukcija diskurza, Politico, Teorija vrednotenja, analiza diskurza, mednarodni mediji, politična komunikacija.

Opis: The theoretical framework in the master’s thesis entitled “The Use of False Friends among Slovene Students of English” covers concepts that are fundamental to false friends and translation studies in general. The theoretical part discusses the authors’ perspectives on definitions and classifications which include various examples of equivalence, cognates and false friends. It then highlights some examples and ideas regarding teaching and learning false friends in the classroom. It is argued that focus on false friends is a useful tool for teachers who incorporate the concept of false friends in their classes. The empirical part of this thesis presents the results of the research which examines the use and knowledge of Slovene-English false friends among Slovene students of English. The research was conducted through a questionnaire which had 26 questions and was distributed online with the help of the tool 1ka. The study included 244 Slovene learners of English. 118 participants were primary school learners from 6th to 9th grade and 126 participants were secondary school learners from years 1 to 4. The results show that Slovene students of English are aware of a significant number of false friends included in the survey, although there are still plenty of Slovene-English false friend pairs that remain unfamiliar. The questionnaire results indicate that more than half of the participants have not heard the expression “false friends” as a linguistic concept at the time of the testing. In general, secondary school learners were more successful in the use of Slovene-English false friends pairings than primary school learners. At the same time, the results do not show that learners with higher grades in English are more familiar with false friends than those with lower grades.
Ključne besede: false friends, equivalence, cognates, language learning, teaching English as a second language
