By the start of a new millennium the mankind has progressed to a new phase entitled the information era, which in its turn entails the need for introduction of a new termdigital society. This new digital society requires innovative forms of cognition which are based upon information processing, data visualization, digital mapping and creating new products and services with the use of digital form of information communication. Complex multimodal creolized text characterized by meaning compression is a key feature of contemporary society. By means of a case study of over700 creolized texts located on the children's clothing manufactured in the USA and in the United Kingdom, the authors try to reveal linguistic and cognitive characteristics of marketing discourse of American and British children's clothing companies. The texts under analysis have been selected by means of continuous sampling method from the online shopping sites of the following companies: Gap, Old Navy, the Children's Place, Carter's, Addams kids, George, Marks & Spencer, Mothercare, Next. Creolized texts located on the products of the companies are considered to be the key elements in the realization of value concepts in marketing discourse of the companies under analysis and the main channel of communication between the sender and the recipient. Slogans, images, engravings on the products are viewed as creolized texts in which the verbal and nonverbal components create a single visual, structural, semantic and functional whole that ensures complex pragmatic influence on the recipient. The structure of the analyzed concepts consists of the logical and notional as well as the figurative and associative layers. It is maintained that the predominant cognitive mechanism involved in construing the analyzed concepts is conceptual metaphor. Cognitive marketing becomes a standpoint in the new marketing paradigm. It is based on the concept of shaping the common perception of the world in the customers, which has an impact on the outlook, aims and goals i.e. the picture of the world. Multidimensional text examination is the reflection of the polycode character of humans' interaction. Searching for the ways to attract new customers and to promote brand loyalty, manufacturers have to modify the formats of their products and use different means of crealization.

“…One of the most prevalent qualitative approaches to the study of childhood in Finland is ethnographic. Some of the ethnographic studies conducted in educational settings have been methodologically more conventional (Paju 2017;Raittila and Vuorisalo 2021) while others, such as multispecies ethnography (Hohti and Tammi 2019) and autoethnography (Silova et al 2018) more novel. The ethnographic gaze also enables study of the youngest children, infants and toddlers, to be incorporated into the domain of childhood studies (Rutanen 2012;Salonen, Sevón, and Laakso 2020; see also von Bonsdorff 2020).…”

ECEC: ('Early Childhood Education and Care') In Finland, ECEC is a non-compulsory part of the Finnish education system and is based on an integrated approach to care, education, and teaching. ECEC is offered to children before they start compulsory school at the age of seven. All children receive compulsory pre-primary education at the age of six (4h/day). Theoretical approaches to childhood and childhood studiesAccording to Strandell (2010), Finnish childhood studies and sociology have been influenced by a divide between actor-and structure-oriented approaches. This was especially the case in the 1980s and early 1990s. Since then, a more political understanding come into play and, more recently, fluid and mobile concepts, aimed at overcoming the action-structure divide, have begun to inform childhood research (Strandell 2010). Agency is and has been one of the core concepts in Finnish childhood studies, as in many other countries, and it was of especial interest in the late 1990s and early 2000s (Alanen 2020; Strandell 2010). However, other concepts, such as space, generation, belonging, and embodiment, have also been introduced.Theoretically, different approaches are visible in Finnish childhood studies. A Foucault-inspired understanding of governmentality was applied by Siippainen ( 2018), who analyzed intergenerational relations in day care from the viewpoint of governance, and by Kuukka (2015) in relation to children's bodily lives. Harrikari et al. (2011) discuss the concepts of governmentality and the underlying rationalities in the context of institutional early childhood education, child welfare practices, public spaces, and participatory structures.Relational approaches differing in their conceptual emphases have been widely applied.Intergenerational relations have been studied by applying Bourdieusian concepts (e.g., field, capital, habitus). This approach foregrounds the view that the social worlds of children (and adults) are gendered, classed, raced, and generationed, while the theory of fields bridges different

“…Children's influence on family life is regarded as an important part of Danish culture and as such is part of everyday life (Ringsmose and Kragh-Muller, 2017). The concept of 'everyday life' has been applied, for example, to studies of Mexican institutional care for children (Khoo, Espinoza and Skoog, 2015); to moral discourses among Finnish and Swedish mothers (Karlsson, Perala-Littunen, Book and Hultman, 2016); to Swedish and Polish fathers' practices (Suwada and Plantin, 2014); to refugee lives in Finland (Kohli and Kaukko, 2018) and Sweden (Bergnehr, 2017); and to clothing practices in Finnish day care (Paju, 2018).…”

This conceptual critique elaborates on the phrase ‘experts in everyday life’, which the author first used in 2015 in connection with recognising the contribution of foster carers and residential care workers to the education of children in out-of-home care (OHC). The article examines the case for greater recognition of the children’s workforce in OHC, and situates the concept of ‘expertise’ in the rise of recognition of children’s status as competent social actors, as well as in professionalisation debates. The article examines two examples, drawing on the author’s prior research in residential care and foster care, of expertise in everyday life in OHC. It concludes that, viewed from a social pedagogical perspective, expertise in everyday life refers to the complex milieu, or environment, in which the activity is taking place, as well as the relational encounters and activities themselves. It refers to the capacity for supporting young people in the mundaneness and predictability of everyday events and routines. Recognition of practitioners as experts in everyday life is not a substitute for changes to the structural conditions of employment but is a first step towards it.
