“…However, it is essential to note that the use of swear words in online discourse can also have negative implications, such as contributing to a hostile and polarised communication environment (Arancibia and Montecino 2017). It is crucial to critically assess the impact of such language on the overall tone and effectiveness of the discourse, as well as its potential to marginalise certain voices further or perpetuate harmful stereotypes.…”

Violence against women is a ubiquitous phenomenon, characterised by a series of psychological, physical, sexual, and persecutory acts that cause harm and suffering of various kinds to the victim. The issue, already declared a pandemic by the UN Secretary General in 2008, became a worrying pandemic within the pandemic with the outbreak of the epidemiological emergency from COVID-19 in the early 2020s. From the beginning, the media and specialised services spoke of a possible increased risk of adverse outcomes for the health and well-being of those already living in vulnerable situations before the onset of COVID-19. The threat was due to forced confinement (lockdown) and the difficulties for victims living with the abuser to report and turn to support services. A vital role in the rethinking and reorganisation of services and in the networking that has underpinned social work in the emergency period is represented by the use of technology and the modification of information flows that followed. A strong propensity emerges for the widespread use of digital tools, of the net in the widest sense, up to the use of social media, both to intercept beneficiaries and for the provision of services and their communication. The present study investigates user-generated discourse about domestic violence during COVID-19 by examining the replies to a Facebook post by the World Health Organization (WHO) (on 24 June 2021) reporting the increased risk for women during the pandemic. Critical Discourse Analysis represents a valid framework to investigate social media communication as expressing ideological meanings and sustaining hierarchically gendered social orders. In particular, the study seeks to identify the discursive means employed by online users to frame domestic abuse and express their position. It has also uncovered how the users exploit the topic to convey their views on other issues related to COVID-19 (e.g. vaccines, government policies).

“…In recent years, with the deepening of the comprehensive reform of education, "what kind of people to cultivate, how to cultivate people" has become a problem we need to solve [7]. As far as music education is concerned, it has become a consensus of the times to cultivate music education teachers and applied specialists with innovative spirit and practical ability [8] and to focus on cultivating students' practical ability and innovative spirit [9]. The traditional vocal pedagogy classroom is mainly about the history of vocal development, singing organs, the use of breath, the analysis of works, voice maintenance, and other content; this "traditional" content has been unable to meet the problem of talent cultivation, has not been able to carry modern diversified information, can not meet the needs and development of today's society, the teaching mode is in urgent need of reform [10][11].…”

Aiming at the current phenomenon of low teacher-student interaction in vocal music teaching, this paper combines the interaction structure model for the innovation and practice of college vocal music courses. Then, this paper uses Euclidean distance to improve the binary tree SVM multi-class classification algorithm, calculates the distance between the teaching samples of each vocal music course, classifies the samples for processing, and obtains the DBT-SVM multi-class classification algorithm. Finally, the DBT-SVM algorithm was used to establish an evaluation model for vocal course teaching quality in colleges and universities to assess the quality of vocal course teaching models. Each three-level index of teaching motivationality has an evaluation score above 80, which is a good level. The evaluation score for the pedagogical index is 89.44, which is almost excellent. The average score of the second-level index of interpersonal interaction is 74.52, which needs to be further improved. The teaching model of the college vocal music course proposed in this paper lays the foundation for the interactive transformation of vocal music teaching and provides a reference model for the improvement of the learning effect of college students’ vocal music courses.

“…Breit (2011) employed a critical discursive approach to examine media texts on corruption in Norway. Others invoked critical discourse analysis to examine the discursive positioning of corruption in presidential speeches (Ogunmuyiwa, 2015), construction of online comments to react to power abuse and inequity (Arancibia and Montecino, 2017), representation of corruption in the media (Breit, 2010) and media use of metaphors to recount corruption (Bratu and Kažoka, 2018). Limited research using Appraisal theory has been carried out to establish the nature of linguistic resources employed to portray corrupt conduct and phenomena, particularly in Africa.…”

This study examines the construction of news reportage relating to normative breach. It analyses news stories on major corruption incidents involving embezzlement and the misuse of public funds by government officials in Uganda. The study employs a discourse analysis to explore how corruption is constructed and construed in the print media. It invokes Appraisal Theory to analyse hard news reports recounting corruption occurrences, proceedings or findings of commissions of inquiry into corruption incidents and arrests of suspects, public hearings and court proceedings of suspected corrupt persons across two daily newspapers published in English. The study explicates the nature of linguistic evaluative resources that news writers invoke to map feelings, and to evaluate news actors, processes and phenomena. The analysis reveals that news reporters heavily rely on external texts and voices to recount corruption stories. These sources are couched in legal language (legalese), which in turn impinges on the linguistic resources employed to evaluate news actors. Whereas this rhetorical strategy enables the news report to achieve ‘objectivity’, it appears to protect the journalist against defamation or slander. Appraisal analysis reveals dominant instances of negative inscriptions of the social sanction of propriety, namely overt negative evaluations of non-compliance with the civic responsibilities and state laws. The news reportage exhibits positive attributes of corrupt persons in relation to their material wealth and social capital. Finally, the study also reveals the journalistic stance towards corruption, which is covertly shown via modes of meaning intensification.
