“…Khoshsima et al (2016) clarified that adapting concept-maps into class activities improved learners' capabilities in learning and retention of the vocabularies as well as their attitudes towards better vocabulary utilities. Different studies have also dealt with concept mapping effectiveness in vocabulary retention (e.g., Kaveh & Rassaei, 2019;Razvani & Sadrosadat, 2020) as well as EFL learners' reading comprehension performance (Tamimy et al, 2022;Wang & Chen, 2018).…”

This study attempted to explore the effect of applying three associative vocabulary instruction strategies (context-based, morphemic analysis and concept map) compared with the traditional strategies on the intermediate EFL learners' vocabulary development employing a quasi-experimental, quantitative, pre-test/post-test design. With the aid of an English proficiency test and a researcher-developed vocabulary test the homogeneity of the participants were checked before the study's treatment. Subsequently, 80 intermediate EFL learners were chosen via convenience sampling procedure from private language schools and recruited for the study and divided into four groups of 20 as the experimental and control participants. The experimental participants were taught the target lexical items with the aid of contexts, concept maps and morphemic analyses while the control participants experienced the traditional instruction (i.e., L1 equivalent provision, word lists, flashcards and memorization). The same vocabulary test was administered this time as the post-test to check whether there was a significant difference in the learners’ attainment for the taught lexical items. The performance of the participants on the vocabulary post-test was analyzed both descriptively and inferentially (a MANOVA, an ANOVA and an independent-samples t-test). It was revealed that all the associative vocabulary teaching strategies were significantly more efficient than the traditional vocabulary teaching strategies. Moreover, it was found that concept mapping was the most efficient instructional strategy for teaching the lexical items compared with the traditional strategies and other associative strategies for the intermediate EFL learners.

“…A major plank under this framework is fair division of goods, preservation of cultural capital and diversity, as well as consistent commitment to employ the best practices for sustainable development. Seeing that a human's right to choose from multiple options is being increasingly recognised as a key value, the very concept of sustainable development assumes human participation in the matters that shape up their livelihood, which in turn implies their direct involvement in the processes of decision making, implementation and enforcement (Tamimy et al 2022).…”

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a decisive reputation tool for companies and as such, a key concept in corporate communication as a phenomenon of intercultural and global significance. This has warranted a comprehensive examination of the language of CSR reports reflecting the principles of the corporate culture. Studies exploring the narratives of CSR reporting currently lack insights into the distribution of meaningful priorities evidenced in language use. This study sets out to explore the linguistic environment of the most frequently occurring language tokens to identify recurrent language patterns used to ensure efficient CSR reporting, and to further establish priority directions in CSR narrative composition evidenced in language use. A corpus-based approach and contextual analysis were adopted to examine CSR reports issued by Microsoft over the last seven years and recognised as an example of best practices in the corporate field. The corpus was compiled using the Prime Machine corpus concordancer tool and comprised 99,176 tokens. Following the study results, the study makes a number of inferences regarding the use of pronouns, “Microsoft + a verb denoting positive action”, “more + than,” “more + adjective”, “Corporate” as part of compound terminological units, as well as a set of key tokens encountered within a descriptive linguistic environment with positive connotation. This, in turn, proved helpful in identifying the hierarchy of priorities distribution revealed in the course of material analysis. The results contribute to a systemic appreciation of corporate language policies facilitating efficient stakeholder communication and can be used in further research investigating related matters of scientific interest.

“…Третьей особенностью функционирования экологического дискурса в речах американских политиков является появление в высказываниях разных коммуникантов одних и тех же концептов, которые получают новые смыслы в соответствии с их связующей ролью для нескольких видов дискурсивных практик и способностью полноценно актуализироваться в тематически разных сферах. Несмотря на обращение к важным проблемам современности, связанным с изменением климата, в речах политиков апелляция происходит в основном к традиционным и ключевым для американской культуры концептам (Tamimy, Setayesh Zarei & Khaghaninejad, 2022). В результате количественного анализа удалось выявить, что наиболее часто употребляемые речевые единицы принадлежат к лексикосемантическим полям концептов «money», «job», «business», «progress», «crisis».…”
