Full textThis thesis aims to contribute to the description of specialised languages in English for Specific Purposes research by characterising English for diplomacy within the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the U.S. State Department. We adopt a multidisciplinary perspectiveto explore the interplay between specialised diplomatic discourse, language and culture and to determine the foundations of professional diplomatic specialisation.Part one presents a theory of specialised languages belonging to a specific research paradigm related to specialised language study, which sees specialised languages as objects for characterisation that are separate from a given pedagogical context. This theory is applied to the professional domain of diplomacy and associated with a tripartite methodology designed to situate specialised diplomatic discourse in its pragmatic and cultural context.Part two focuses on the characteristic discourse genres of the British and American diplomatic community, and includes a general genre typology and two corpus-based studies of the diplomatic memoir and the diplomatic cable. The final part of the thesis analyses diplomatic lexisthrough a diachronic study of lexicographical normalisation efforts in the diplomatic field, and an overview of contemporary diplomatic terms in English. Diplomatic culture is then envisaged from the vantage point of a sociological enquiry into discursive practices in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, based on a series of qualitative interviews

Teacher turnover is a well-studied phenomenon, particularly in highly urbanized locales, but not well researched in a state as geographically and demographically diverse as Pennsylvania, which is a composition of two major metropolitan areas combined with smaller urban centers and expansive rural regions. Those retention studies that do exist have been mainly exclusive to the Philadelphia region, with limited research devoted to the remainder of the state. This lack of a comprehensive empirical approach that compares turnover in three distinct settings limits a nuanced understanding of the issue and, in turn, can lead to incomplete policy considerations. This study utilizes Pennsylvania Department of Education data from 2012-2017, which describes the entire public-school workforce in all local education agencies (LEAs), to study how compensation and auxiliary spending (per student spending sans instructional costs) influence teacher turnover using multiple, parallel Cox Proportional Hazards survival models. Findings suggest that despite a “one size fits all” approach to public school funding policy popular amongst politicians on both sides of the political aisle, the effects of a monetary increase in reducing the likelihood of turnover varies considerably when accounting for the region, Title I status, experience and subject matter. The study highlights how the lack of monetary investment can lead teachers to seek employment elsewhere since low pay functions as a strong demotivator. Additionally, the results suggest that while a pay raise may arrest turnover risk, it is a poor long-term motivator or cause of job satisfaction. The study concludes by offering state and LEA leaders with policy recommendations that may improve both retention and job satisfaction. To date, this is the only study in the current literature that explores teacher turnover extensively in the nation’s fifth most populous state.

Full textThe purport of this doctoral thesis is to bring in perspective four emblematic thinkers of the period of English history extending between The Great Rebellion and the Glorious Revolution : Thomas Hobbes, John Harrington, Algernon Sydney and John Locke. These authors, whose respective status and posterity widely differ, are divided by strong ideological differences : Hobbes was a proponent of absolutist government, Harrington and Sidney inclined in favour of a regime based on popular representation and John Locke was a partisan of parliamentary monarchy. Whatever their differences, these philosophers share a common attitude that consists in taking into account the real conditions presiding over the exercise of political power. This common perspective which has been described as political realism is founded on three main axes : the first one is the will to choose a foundation of all political organisations the principles of nature as evidenced by the historical study of human societies and rational analysis ; the second axis is to be found in their search for optimal conditions to ensure the preservation of the Commonwealth built on such foundation ; the third and last axis consists in taking into account the Commonwealth ‘s interest in the resolution of a certain number of fundamental political questions that prevailed during that period. We shall establish in conclusion that their common realism induces them to put forward similar propositions on the nature and extent of the power that political leaders must be entrusted with, whatever the chosen form of government may be
