Ideational

The intention, this study was launched with, was to explore the applicability of the Systemic Functional Grammar, the linguistic development promoted by famous linguist M.A. K. Halliday. The theory establishes the view of functionality of linguistic phenomena in the pieces of literature. The study in hand is aimed to find the functional elements in Rainer Maria Rilke's poem 'A Walk'. The poem was analyzed into three major functional methods of the theory including Ideational, Interpersonal and Textual analysis. In the first category, the transitivity patterns and the clauses having active and passive voices were analysed. In the second, the interpersonal elements; having the persons involving in the process and showing relationship with each other were seen. And finally, the textual meaning and the sense emerging from all the above findings were discussed. It further sought the theme of the poem and the basic functional idea of the poetic expression. And in the final stage the emanating message of the poem was discussed in the conclusion.

This article examines the development of methods of political analysis concerned with ideas, beliefs and meanings and argues that these need to be supplemented by an approach attuned to the specific nature of political action. It argues that since politics involves the contest of ideas, beliefs and meanings, analysis should focus on arguments. Considering methods for the study of political arguments the article argues for a re-examination of the rhetorical tradition and the development of a Rhetorical Political Analysis (RPA). It then outlines the sorts of things this would examine, the questions it would ask and the ways in which it might go about answering them.

The article reviews ‘ideational’ analysis and theory in political science. It argues that this is an important area of research limited by lack of a clear sense of what ideas in politics are and of how to analyse them as directly as possible. It is argued that political science should learn from the ‘rhetorical turn’ in various areas of the social sciences, developing ways, appropriate to political science, of analysing the language, rhetoric and argumentation of political and policy discourse in its governmental contexts. Such an approach rests on a strong sense of the dynamic, contested and creative nature of political activity.

Ideational meaning, or some linguist called experiential meaning is the meaning that expresses the experience or the idea of someone on producing text. Ideational meaning is one of three metafunction in Systemic Functional Linguistic Study. Ideational meaning realized by transitivity in the clause. Transitivity involves processes, participants and circumtances. Ideational meaning represents an experience of the writer or the speaker of some text, that's why Ideational meaning also called clause as representation. Many people recognize this Ideational meaning to analyze the clauses. In this research, the writer will use Ideational meaning terms to analyze HIV AIDS slogans. HIV AIDS epidemic is a huge case around the world. Many organizations and people use a slogan to convey some messages or to advertize some information, including HIV AIDS case. This preliminary research has a finding that HIV AIDS slogans has 50% material process, 38% relational process, 6% mental process, 6% verbal process.

Despite the primacy of the abolitionist policy regime, adopted in 1960 and which is centred on concerns about the wellbeing of the “victims” of prostitution, contemporary French prostitution policy has sustained a variety of inconsistent policies. Alone, these reforms have not threatened the established abolitionist regime. Together, though, they amount to a cumulative transformation of what French abolitionism stands for. This challenges traditional conceptions of significant institutional and paradigmatic change as predicated on critical junctures. This paper therefore argues that understanding the manner in which policy actors, seeking to further their preferred policy options, garner legitimacy and support for their project within established institutional frameworks requires analysing the interplay between the constraining effect of institutions and the creative and constituting effect of strategic framing. Presenting evidence from the preliminary process tracing of recent two policy reform projects, this paper consequently suggests that framing prostitution policy proposals as compliant with the dominant ideational framework is necessary but insufficient to guarantee reform success. Drawing on ideational and institutional policy theory, the paper concludes that, by virtue of the continuously (re)constructed and negotiated nature of dominant ideational frameworks, the abolitionist paradigm is rendered capable of housing an inconsistent variety of policies through the strategic framing of policy options.

This article argues that in considering the effects of economic policy reform on women’s human rights, we must also consider the political economy mechanisms through which these effects operate. Treating the distribution of policy costs and benefits as outcomes of a given state of the world is unsatisfactory because economic policy reforms both shape and are shaped by those costs and benefits. Using a political economy model of economic policymaking, the article shows how the choice of economic policy and its impacts on women’s human rights are endogenous to various gendered political-economic forces, which have interest, institutional and ideational-based dynamics. It argues further that while the gender-related standards set out in the Guiding Principles on Foreign Debt and Human Rights are an ambitious step forward in addressing possible negative impacts on women’s human rights, their relative salience in the shaping of economic policy will be mediated by these same political-economic forces.

This research attempts to develop a supplementary writing teaching method that is compatible with the Unlock intermediate level students at Birzeit University. To achieve this goal, the study identifies four general writing needs and purposes for such students: understanding purpose and genre; using clause and sentence structure for these purposes and text types; developing a sense of audience and writing coherently. This review includes an overview of genre and the three register dimensions: ideational, interpersonal and textual. Writing instruction is provided through two teaching methodologies: Joint Construction and the Logical Tree which will be discussed thoroughly under the Methodology section. The sample of this study is 54 intermediate level students of Unlock English program; 27 of which were the control group and the other 27 were the experimental group. The overall results showed more use of the measured variables in the experimental group than in the control one.

This research attempts to develop a supplementary writing teaching method that is compatible with the Unlock intermediate level students at Birzeit University. The purpose of the study is to also provide writing instruction regarding four general writing needs and for such students: understanding genre, using clause and sentence structure for chosen text types, developing a sense of audience, and writing coherently. The study is based on the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), and the writing instruction is provided through two teaching methodologies, Joint Construction and the Logical Tree. The sample of this study is 54 intermediate-level students of the Unlock program, 27 of whom comprised the control group, the remaining 27, the experimental group. Frequency tables were utilized to calculate the sum of the cohesive and structural devices used. Overall, the results revealed more use of the measured variables in the experimental group than in the control. In the experimental group, devices of nominalization, contrast, addition, reason, register, and voice were used 115, 34, 27, 49, 92, and 27 times, respectively. However, in the control group, the same devices were used 58, 19, 11, 19, 35, and 12 times, respectively. The researcher recommends further research be conducted on larger samples of different levels of English proficiency in order to identify additional needs and provide a more representative assessment.
