A corpus-assisted comparative study of the representations of the Euromaidan protests in Ukraine (2013-2014) and the Belarus protests (2020-2021) in The New York Times
(Tartu Ülikool, 2024) Smuk, Kateryna; Marling, Raili, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Maailma keelte ja kultuuride instituut; Tartu Ülikool. Anglistika osakond
Media representation plays a crucial role in (de-)legitimizing social movements and their participants. This thesis aims to compare the representations of two consequential events in Eastern Europe—the Euromaidan protests in Ukraine (2013-2014) and the Belarus protests (2020-2021)—in The New York Times, a major global media outlet. The study specifically concentrates on the naming strategies used for the events and social actors and the attribution of responsibility for violence. To achieve this goal, a corpus-assisted approach to discourse analysis and van Leeuwen’s framework for social actors’ analysis are employed. The Sketch Engine tool is used to analyze two corpora, which together encompass 167 articles (192,111 words). The thesis consists of five sections. The introduction delves into media power and representation. The first chapter discusses the process of news construction and the role of language in it, the media coverage of social movements, the background of the analyzed events, the ethical policy of The New York Times, and previous research on the analyzed events and protests in general. The second chapter presents the methodological approaches employed (critical discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, and van Leeuwen’s framework for analyzing social actors) and details the methodological procedure. The final chapter reports and discusses the findings of the analysis. The conclusion summarizes the main results and implications for further research.

A Corpus–based study of amplifiers in Latvian EFL learners’ Writing
(Tartu Ülikool, 2025) Vīre, Madara; Torn-Leesik, Reeli, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Maailma keelte ja kultuuride instituut; Tartu Ülikool. Anglistika osakond
The aim of this study is to examine the use of amplifiers in the writing of Latvian learners of English. The investigation is based on data from the LEFL (Latvian EFL Learner) corpus and the GiG (Growth in Grammar) corpus, allowing for a comparison between foreign–language (L2) and first–language (L1) English usage. The focus on amplifiers was motivated by a preliminary analysis, which revealed that adverbs of degree, more specifically amplifiers, produced the highest number of occurrences in the corpus. The most frequent amplifiers – really, very, and more – aligned with findings from previous studies, confirming their status as common modifiers. While adjectives were the most frequently modified items across both corpora, the native speaker data displayed a greater variety of modified words, whereas the learner corpus exhibited a broader range of amplifier. Furthermore, the study explored potential first–language (L1) influence on foreign–language (L2) usage; however, it was concluded that the dataset was too limited in size to draw definitive conclusions regarding this aspect. Keywords: adverbs of degree, amplifiers, corpus linguistics, Latvian EFL learners

A corpus-based study of the filler so in the speech of Estonian EFL learners
(Tartu Ülikool, 2024) Varula, Romi; Klavan, Jane, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Maailma keelte ja kultuuride instituut; Tartu Ülikool. Anglistika osakond
Discourse markers (DMs) in speech have been extensively researched, particularly since the late twentieth century, with growing focus on DMs in learner language in recent decades. However, filler words in learner language have not been as vastly researched and thus, this thesis at hand aims to address this gap by contributing to a few studies made in Estonia so far. The thesis focuses primarily on the use of the filler so in the speech of Estonian learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and native English speakers utilizing the Estonian subcorpus of the Louvain International Database of Spoken English Interlanguage (LINDSEI-EST) and the Louvain Corpus of Native English Conversation (LOCNEC). Additionally, it aims to analyse whether so is used more as a filler, a conjunction or an adverb between the two groups. The introduction part of the thesis introduces the topic and corpora at hand, states the two research questions and gives an overview of all the sections of the thesis. The first part is concerned with previous studies conducted on both discourse markers and fillers in speech and how so functions as a filler, a conjunction and an adverb. The empirical section of the thesis gives an overview of the methodology, the corpora used in the study and analyses the use of so. The last part of the thesis discusses the findings based on the results gathered from the data. The conclusion answers the two research questions presented in the introduction and suggests possibilities for further research in similar field of study.

A Study On the Translation of Stream of Consciousness in Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
(Tartu Ülikool, 2024) Põldmaa, Kady; Gielen, Katiliina, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Maailma keelte ja kultuuride instituut; Tartu Ülikool. Anglistika osakond
Translation studies influence the promotion of intercultural dialogue between smaller languages and more widely spoken ones. This dialogue may aid in advocating towards cultural and linguistic diversity and preservation and possibly lead to a more connected world. The roughly 1.1 million native speakers make Estonian a small language, which might influence the availability of resources or hinder the filling of research gaps. This thesis studies the translation of the narrative method of stream of consciousness from English to Estonian. The source text is Mrs. Dalloway (1935) by Virginia Woolf and the target text Proua Dalloway (1998) by Riina Jesmin. This research inquires into the strategies the translation of Mrs. Dalloway uses to render stream of consciousness, as well as into the implications of linguistic and cultural differences between the source and target culture. The thesis consists of an introduction, which presents a short synopsis of the novel and what it is known for. The next chapter covers relevant literature about stream of consciousness, Mrs. Dalloway and translation theories. The empirical chapter studies the characteristics of the source text and analyses the target text on the backdrop of the literature review. The analysis will focus on the first and last two pages of the novel, featuring consecutive extracts from the source and the target text. The methods of close reading and structural analysis will be employed with some historical and cultural contextualization. Follows a discussion.

A Tale of two fathers: a comparative analysis of fatherhood in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (2015) and God of War (2018)
(Tartu Ülikool, 2025) Kudak, Patrick; Leijen, Djuddah A. J., juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Maailma keelte ja kultuuride instituut; Tartu Ülikool. Anglistika osakond
This thesis explores representations of hegemonic masculinity and fatherhood in God of War (2018) and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (2015). Analyzing the father-child dynamics between Geralt and Ciri, and Kratos and Atreus, it examines how traditional masculine ideals of authority and emotional restraint are both reinforced and challenged. Drawing on Connell’s theory of hegemonic masculinity and trauma-informed perspectives, the study reveals how these games critique patriarchal fatherhood and propose alternative models emphasizing empathy and cooperation. This research contributes to understanding evolving masculinity in video game narratives. Keywords: video games, fatherhood, hegemonic masculinity

This thesis looks at the linguistic features that are used within American football whilst also comparing how such characteristics have been used before. A total of nine transcripts were taken and analysed to see if gridiron football commentary has gone through any major changes or if it has not really changed much over the years. The first part covers the language used in sports and their characteristics while also introducing the roles of the commentators and the differences between radio and television broadcasts that were used in the second part. Additionally, the first half of the paper takes a brief look at previous studies covering this topic. The second half of the paper compares several aspects, which were identified by previous studies and books on this topic.

For this, an ecolinguistic analysis of the language features in the textbooks was conducted and the reoccurring ideologies identified. The analysis identified the presence of beneficial, destructive and ambivalent discourses about nature. Ways in which the destructive and ambivalent language choices could be addressed by the teacher were proposed, to support the development of critical language awareness.

Analyse comparative des réactions post-débat dans la presse lors des élections européennes et des élections législatives de 2024 en France
(Tartu Ülikool, 2025) Moorits, Emily; Dautancourt, Vincent, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Maailma keelte ja kultuuride instituut; Tartu Ülikool. Romanistika osakond
Cette thèse est une analyse comparative des réactions de la presse française aux débats télévisés organisés dans le cadre des élections européennes et législatives de 2024. À partir d'un corpus d'articles issus de six journaux français, l'étude se concentre sur les stratégies de cadrage médiatique à travers la thématisation, la désignation et le discours rapporté. En s'appuyant sur l'approche de Wander Emediato (2011), l'analyse révèle une couverture moins neutre et plus politisée des débats législatifs et une moindre couverture des débats européens dans leur ensemble. Ce travail met en évidence le rôle des médias dans la construction de l'image des candidats et dans la formation des perceptions électorales.

Analyse contrastive des programmes du Rassemblement National et du Fratelli d’Italia aux élections européennes en 2024
(Tartu Ülikool, 2025) Koort, Freddy; Käsper, Marge, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Humanitaarteaduste ja kunstide valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Maailma keelte ja kultuuride instituut; Tartu Ülikool. Romanistika osakond
Ce mémoire compare les programmes électoraux européens 2024 du Rassemblement National (RN) et Fratelli d’Italia (FdI) et analyse les stratégies discursives employées. Considérant leurs origines communes mais trajectoires politiques divergentes (RN en opposition vs. FdI en gouvernement), cette étude contrastive vise à identifier les différences linguistiques reflétant ces positionnements politiques en combinant des analyses qualitatives et quantitatives. Le travail examine trois axes : l’usage des verbes, les orientations évaluatives et les métaphores conceptuelles. Les résultats montrent une rhétorique plus conflictuelle et accusatrice chez le RN, tandis que le FdI emploie aussi un discours développementaliste et réformiste, suggérant des processus et des succès distincts de normalisation et dédiabolisation.
