I denna uppsats undersöks användningen av indirekta presentationer, beståendes av ageranden, miljö, metonymier samt förstärkning genom analogier, som funktion i karaktäriseringen av Geppetto i den ordlösa serieromanen Pinocchio (2016). Även teckningsstil som meningsbärare undersöks. Undersökningen genomförs med en visuell analys som metod beståendes av en beskrivande del samt en djupare undersökning, med avstamp i beskrivningen, med fokus på karaktäriseringen av Geppetto. Undersökningen utmynnar i att användningen av indirekta presentationer är genomgående i serieromanen och används ofta i samverkan med varandra för att förtydliga och tydliggöra specifika karaktäristiska egenskaper i specifika situationer. Teckningsstilen beståendes av linjeteckning arbetar med förenklingar vilket gör det enkelt att tolka förekommande objekt, uttryck, gester och så vidare. Vilket i sammanhanget är avgörande för att kunna utläsa de indirekta presentationerna i den ordlösa serieromanen. / This paper examines the use of indirect presentations, which consists of actions, environment, metonymies and reinforcement by analogy, as functions in the characterization of Geppetto in the wordless graphic novel Pinocchio (2016). The drawing style as a carrier of meaning is also examined. The study is conducted with a visual analysis as method consisting of a descriptive part and a deeper analysis, descended in the descriptive part, with focus on the characterization of Geppetto. The study’s result shows that indirect presentations is used throughout the entire graphic novel and is often used in correlation with each other to clarify specifik characteristics in specific situations. The drawing style, which consists of line drawing, uses reductions to detail and simplifications which makes it easy to interpret the occurring objects, expressions, gestures and so on. Which in this context is crucial to be able to read the indirect presentations in the wordless graphic novel.

Environmental protection has gained a lot of attention in recent years. People, governments and NGOs understand that our economic growth needs to be sustainable and respect the ecosystem. Everyone has a role to play in the planet conservation, from consumers to industries. This paper investigates on a linguistic level how the fast-moving consumer goods companies such as Procter & Gamble and Unilever communicate about their sustainability profile, as well as the differences and similarities in their communications. Lastly, I analysed the companies’ sustainability goals and how they relate to those established by the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). My methodology was a Faircloughian textual analysis of each company’s official web pages with a focus on their sustainability section. The results show that each company addresses their impact on the environment on different sustainability goals. To resolve the environmental challenges, both companies count on innovative technologies to improve their products so they become eco-friendly. This study’s implication is the importance of words choices in the companies’ sustainability discourse, in order to convey clearly what measures are applied to diminish their environmental footprint.

Valrörelser som bedrivs inför riksdagsval är stora, omfattande arbeten. Trots att mycket tid läggs på dessa, uttrycks ofta ett missnöje över hur kampanjerna har tagits emot. Analysgrupper tas fram för att finna svar på vart kommunikationen kan ha brustit. Kan felet ligga i den visuella kommunikationen?Syftet med denna studie är att ge en inblick i hur visuella medel utformas och används ipolitiska kampanjer baserat på en semiotisk och retorisk analys av tre valaffischer från riksdagsvalet 2014, samt genom tre fokusgrupper med deltagare från tre riksdagspartier. Syftet är även att undersöka om det finns gemensamma mönster i användningen av visuella medel hos partierna. Resultatet visar att partierna arbetar mycket med färg och typografi och att det går att se vissa mönster i användningen av visuella medel. Dessa gemensamma mönster syns främst i användningen av stora teckengrader i typografin, samt i den generösa användningen av det politiska partiets, eller det politiska blockets, färg.

This study will compare two online communities; pro-anorexia and body positivity through a retrieval of posts tagged with the hashtags #thinspo (‘thin inspiration’) and #bopo (‘body positivity’) respectively. Two corpora of 120 posts per community were comprised and then processed in AntConc with the aid of a corpus linguistic approach. The data was then analysed with the aid of Arroyo and Harwood’s categorisation of ‘fat talk’ (2014), a typically female type of discourse often containing self-derogatory body commentary, to identify linguistic markers of the two groups. The results showed that body positive posts contained more we-talk, positive affect in terms of affirmation of self and others, as well as describing change of their relationships to their bodies rather than an external change of their bodies. Pro-anorexia discourse showed a general pattern of expressing more negative affect (disappointment, fear, disgust) as well as making negative self-evaluations. Unlike previous research, hardly any ‘we-talk’ was found the pro-anorexia discourse, indicating a lack of community.
