The antinutritional effects of phytic acid primarily relate to the strong chelating associated with its six reactive phosphate groups. Its ability to complex with proteins and particularly with minerals has been a subject of investigation from chemical and nutritional viewpoints. The

The narrative that emerges from the radicalisation process provides a rich source for psychologists and discourse analysts, exploring not only the ‘why’ and the ‘how’, but also issues stemming from self-perception and other-representation. Such conflict-based narratives materialise in individuals’ evaluative language patterns (Etaywe and Zappavigna 2022). In this paper, we conduct a close analysis of the discursive construction of emotion and opinion in a collection of semi-structured interviews with social workers or neighbours who knew the perpetrators of the 2017 terrorist attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils. To do so, we use corpus-driven methodologies and a refined version of Martin and White’s (2005) Appraisal framework (se...

Traditional machine learning models may encounter problems when used in such a context, due to the peculiarities of microblogging sites and the manner in which these networks interact (both between themselves and with other networks). Moreover, state-of-the-art approaches have focused on non-transparent techniques that cannot be audited; so, despite the fact that they are top performing techniques, it is impossible to check if the models are actually fair. In this paper, we present a semi-supervised methodology that uses our Discriminatory Expressions algorithm for feature selection to detect expressions that are biased towards extremist content (Francisco and Castro 2020). With the help of human experts, the relevant expressions are filtered and used to retrieve further extremist content in order to iteratively provide a set of re...

Whilst this type of radicalisation has received attention from psychoanalysis (Kobrin 2010), jihadist discourse is in need of more exhaustive examination. By detecting recruiters’ key persuasive strategies, we may understand what can move people to violent action. In this paper, we employ SFL Appraisal Theory (Martin and White 2005;Bednarek 2008,2009;Benítez-Castro and Hidalgo-Tenorio 2019), to undertake a detailed analysis of the interplay betweenemotionandopinionin a pair of exemplars from two jihadist magazines: The Taliban’sAzanand Al-Qaeda’sInspire. The close inspection of these texts reveals two distinct persuasive strategies: One revolving around a markedly negative pathos of victimhood and deep distress caused by injustice, past and present; and the other conveying pride and confidence at the many virtues behind the jihadi path.

Its main aim was then to cover the complexities of a challenging period and a challenging topic from an interdisciplinary perspective.

A tal fin, estudiaremos herramientas discursivas que tienen que ver con la estructuración del texto, y con cómo se articulan textualmente los mundos exterior e interior del hablante. Observaremos metáforas conceptuales y falacias de la argumentación; y exploraremos cómo la expresión facial complementa, refuerza o diverge de los significados codificados. La comparación entre ambos muestra diferencias respecto a su sinceridad, asertividad y grado de optimismo en su representación del país, que se pueden explicar por su estatus e ideología.

This paper analyses a learner English corpus collected at two Spanish universities, paying special attention to which linguistic devices (e.g., modal verbs, adjectives, adverbs or nouns) English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students make use of when providing for and against arguments in their assignments. Applying a corpus-based methodology not only enabled comparisons to be made with other native and non-native data but also facilitated both quantitative and qualitative analyses. The findings show remarkable similarities and differences, and leave several issues at stake: the relationship between the degree of assertiveness of a text and (1) the student’s gender, (2) their command of the Foreign Language (FL), and (3) their familiarity with the genre they are expected to write in.

Researchers have argued for the existence of a distinctive female style as compared with a male style (for example Coates 1988, Holmes 1995) and have categorised the differences claimed to distinguish one from the other. The evolution from the ‘deficit’, ‘dominance’ and ‘difference’ approaches to the ‘discursive construction of gendered identities’ (Sunderland 2004, Litosseliti 2006) took more than three decades. A patently biased chapter by Jespersen (1922) pointed to some features addressed since then. Robin Lakoff (1975) suggested that the most significant characteristics of feminine language included hypercorrection, lexical constraints, less complex structures, limited topic selection, no interruption, no turn-taking control, preference for polite interaction, and a tendency towards conversation accommodation. These features indicate how people establish their relationship with interlocutors and the way they construct their (public) persona. One instrumental element in understanding this idea involves figurative language, particularly metaphor. Conceptual metaphors show how we comprehend, conceptualise and evaluate the world (Lakoff and Turner 1989, O’Halloran 2007). They interpret ‘a fragment of the society’s history [and bear] implications for the construction of the society’s future’ (Zinken 2003: 517). As Cameron (2007: 200) remarks, conceptual metaphors are ‘evidence of thinking and perspective’.

knowledge, no linguistic approach has been applied to this topic so far. Drawing on the materials compiled by the Justice for Magdalenes Research Group (http://www.magdalenelaundries.com/), formed in
2004 by survivors, their relatives, human rights activists, academics and political representatives, here we examine this drama from a critical discourse analysis perspective. We will therefore try to identify the hidden
ideologies reflected and reinforced through the distinctive discursive patterns present in the narratives of some of the victims, as they awaken to the trauma of their past. In particular, this chapter will show the findings resulting from the identification of the conceptual metaphors (Lakoff and Johnson 1980a) used by these females in their interviews. Their analysis may help us to comprehend how they construe their
notions of sin, duty, redemption and remorse; which role they think was played by their parents, the Catholic Church and the Irish State; their conception of womanhood and motherhood; and how they refer to cruelty and abuse. We will hopefully be able to exhibit how the discourses of guilt and shame intermingle with those of understanding and forgiveness in a collection of texts whose analysis might be of use to other victims
who remain silent.

Summary
As explained in chapter 1, the grammar of a language can be described in terms of a
number of units which are hierarchically organised in a rankscale. This chapter
reviews the units in that hierarchy following an order of increasing complexity, i.e.
from the most basic unit, the morpheme, to the most complex one, the sentence.
