TAILIEUCHUNG - Construing the world: conceptual metaphors and event-construal in news stories

The obvious alternative to polling for data is to dis- tribute that data, as it becomes available, to lists of subscribers. This approach may be adequate for small subscription lists (for example, e-mail lists), but it will not scale to accommodate the growing subscription de- mands of Web site syndication. Furthermore, while such an approach may reduce the overall bandwidth usage of RSS (by reducing unnecessary fetches), it does nothing to alleviate the per-update stress on network links close to the source. To address these problems, we look to peer-to- peer overlay networks, which offer a compelling plat- form for self-organizing subscription systems. Several overlay-based group communication systems, including Scribe [7], offer distributed management. | Construing the world conceptual metaphors and event-construal in news stories Monika A. Bednarek Augsburg Abstract This paper is concerned with conceptual metaphors and event-construal in newspaper language. Event-construal is defined as the way in which a particular event in the real-world is construed via textualisation . The paper takes up the notion of metaphors as creative stylistic devices in news stories analysing stories in The Sun The Guardian and The New York Times and shows how tapping into conceptual metaphors helps to establish eventconstruals in texts. This in turn it is argued has many functions including the most central ones of evaluation and dramatisation. Analysing news stories about different newsworthy events the paper demonstrates how the choice of a particular event-construal crucially depends on the emotional potential of reported statements. It is proposed that although there is a lot of interaction between verbal and non-verbal signs which co-establish such construals conceptual metaphors are particularly important for strategically building up event-construals. These event-construals themselves it is suggested are important cognitive devices that help the reader to create coherence. In diesem Beitrag geht es um konzeptuelle Metaphern und sogenannte event-construals in der Zeitungssprache. Event-construal wird definiert als die Art und Weise wie Ereignisse in der aubersprachlichen Welt durch Textualisierung konstruiert werden. Metaphern werden hier als kreative stilistische Mittel verstanden und analysiert es soll gezeigt werden wie durch den Ruckgriff auf konzeputelle Metaphern bestimmte event-construals in Texten etabliert werden. Dies so wird argumentiert hat seinerseits viele Funktionen darunter vor allem die Bewertung und Dramatisierung von Ereignissen. Durch die Analyse von verschiedenen Zeitungsartikeln in The Sun The Guardian und The New York Times wird gezeigt dass die Wahl eines bestimmten .
