“…Ilmiö pitää sisällään niin perinteisen kääntämisen ja tulkkauksen kuin monenlaiset marginaalisemmat kieltenvälisen viestinnän toiminnat, joissa on monia käännöksellisiä piirteitä mutta jotka eivät millään muotoa edusta prototyyppistä kääntämistä. Esimerkkeinä translatorisuudesta voivat olla vaikkapa monikielisessä kokouksessa tapahtuva saman viestin toistaminen eri kielillä hieman eri muodossa (Koskela 2012; Koskela, Koskinen ja Pilke 2017) tai journalistisen tekstin muokkaaminen yhdelle kielelle jollain toisella kielellä tehdyn haastattelun pohjalta (Havumetsä 2020). Koskinen (2020, 240) korostaa, että terminä translatorisuus onnistuu kuvaamaan kieltenvälisen viestinnän moninaisuutta ja jatkumoluonnetta paremmin kuin puhe kääntämisestä.…”

Superdiversity. Perspectives on the multiplicity of migration This book is the first Finnish-language collection of research on superdiversity. At the core of the book is the growing migration to Finland since the turn of the 1990s and its numerous effects on Finnish society. The interdisciplinary examination of superdiversity is important at the current moment: Finland as a society has reached the point where certain social categories, such as ethnic background, country of birth, mother tongue or gender, are not necessarily sufficient to understand the increased diversity and its consequences. The book consists of a comprehensive introduction to the topic and thirteen chapters. In Finland, research on superdiversity is carried out especially in critical sociolinguistics and applied language studies, education, cultural studies, social sciences, and urban studies. Therefore, these disciplines are strongly represented in the collection, and the chapters approach a variety of topics including refugees’ mental health, experiences of multilingual families, the diversity of education and working life, discursive practices in social media, issues of urban planning and pro-asylum activism.

“…However, recent production-oriented research on journalistic quoting in a written format (e.g. Havumetsä, 2020; Kuo, 2007; Matsushita, 2016, in press; Nylund, 2006; Satoh, 2001), to which my series of studies (Haapanen, 2011, 2016, 2017a, 2017b, 2017c, 2018, 2020; Haapanen and Perrin, 2019) makes a not inconsiderable contribution, has revealed that the relationship between original interview discourse 2 and the published quoted discourse is by no means so simple and simplistic. To begin with, there is no absolute correspondence between sound waves in the air and graphemes on paper or on screen, and several features of oral communication, such as prosody, do not have any apparent equivalence in writing – if any at all.…”

Transparency is seen as a panacea for a major problem facing journalism and journalists today, that is, the loss of trust and credibility. However, the scholarly literature has focused primarily on normative considerations, without providing much empirical data that could confirm what are widely assumed to be the positive effects of transparency. In this paper, I argue, first, that editorial texts, in their various manifestations, are the most potent of the various established means of displaying transparency for opening up the production of news item. However, I then draw on my linguistic, process-focused research on quoting and highlight challenges this process creates for the use of editorial texts in the pursuit of transparency. It turns out that conveying the essentials of decision-making that occurs during newswriting requires profound understanding and awareness of the interplay between modalities, co-texts and contexts of language use. Finally, implementing the norm of transparency has allegedly led to the transformation of a well-intentioned goal into an institutional myth, leading journalists – constrained, for example, by the mechanism of impression management – to disclose only socially acceptable practices. Therefore, I conclude by arguing for transdisciplinary research in which scholars research ‘on, for and with’ (Perrin, 2018) other stakeholders in order to bring about a fundamental change in the culture of transparency in journalism.
