Authorial Identity and Objectivity: A Hungarian EFL Perspective on Academic Writing

-
Kép
As students in higher education advance in their studies over the course of their university years, it becomes more and more crucial that they develop an authorial identity. However, in Hungarian tertiary education students are urged by their tutors they adopt an impersonal style in their written essays. Struggling to meet institutional standards, they cannot construct their own writerly identities. Nevertheless, an objective presentation of ideas does not necessarily prevent Hungarian EFL university students from incorporating their personalities into their writing. Therefore, Hungarian EFL students must be equipped with the linguistic devices to make their voices heard. This essay seeks to propose that the insistence on objectivity in English academic writing does not inhibit Hungarian EFL university students from assuming their academic writer identity. First, there have been several studies conducted that indicated that there is great room for individuality in academic writing. ...

THBT Viktor Orban will decide not to run for PM in the 2026 Hungarian election

Motion: THBT Viktor Orban will decide not to run for PM in the 2026 Hungarian election. Proposition: PM Viktor Orban has already tarnished his reputation in their voters' eyes by his ill-fated decisions and scandals. No matter which aspect of his party's agenda comes up in a conversation, the majority of voters immediately associate Hungarian politics with the person of Viktor Orban. This has eventually led to a drop in the popularity of Fidesz in independent polls.

Needless to say, he seeks to prevent Tisza from winning and the only way to do so is to get his party into a better position without h...

Manipulatív narratívák és retorikai hibák a kormánypárti médiában: a Tisza Párt és Magyar Péter percepciójának vizsgálata

  Forrás: Facebook Kutatási kérdésemben arra keresem a választ, hogy a pártközeli sajtó, milyen hatásmechanizmusokkal konstruálja meg a különböző választási preferenciákat mutató szavazók valóságról alkotott percepcióját 2024 márciusától egészen 2025 májusig. A kutatási téma alkérdése, hogy az online belföldi kormánypárti közösségi média milyen érvelési hibákkal akarja manipulálni a befogadói oldalt. A közvéleménykutatás jól kutatott területnek számít [1] , de kevés kutatás tapintott eddig rá a kormány online karaktergyilkos írásos médiumai mögött megbúvó logikai hibákra [2] és a Tisza Párt politikai megítélése közötti kapcsolatra. Ez a téma különösen releváns jelenleg hiszen Magyarországon vidéki választókhoz gyakran csak kormánypárti média jut el a városi szavazókkal ellentétben. Így előfordulhat, hogy eltérő módon dekódolják a Magyar Péterre és a Tisza Pártot ábrázoló kormánypárti lejárató kampányok hatásmechanizmusait (Baron és mtsai., 2008). A manipulatív propaganda erőte...
