Comunicare in Europa


L’Università di Salerno ha organizzato il workshop: Comunicare in Europa: il linguaggio della crescita, dai documenti UE alle opportunità.




Si tratta  di un ciclo di incontri di studio ideati da Daniela Vellutino per avviare un confronto scientifico su come far conoscere e divulgare la terminologia dei documenti istituzionali dell’Unione Europea per accrescere le possibilità di accesso alle opportunità nell’ambito di Europa 2020.

Parteciperanno esponenti delle istituzioni europee, del governo italiano e dell’università e giornalisti, esperti di marketing e di contenuti digitali. Si discuterà di nascita e gestione dei termini nelle istituzioni europee e dell’importanza della conoscenza terminologica nella comunicazione pubblica.

Nel mio intervento parlerò in veste di web content manager del sito Together against Trafficking in Human Beings. Spiegherò come vengono effettuate le scelte terminologiche di questo e di altri siti dell’Ue.

25/11/2014 updateI showed a backstage view of terminology management in the framework of the UE websites I manage. I highlighted the importance of identifying target readers and understanding how they are affected by terminology choices, and to prove this point I introduced two criteria: 


  1. “organisation-led” terminology: a prescriptive approach that selects the terms that can be easily and quickly identified by citizens and reinforce the institution identity, and 
  2. “market-driven” terminology: a descriptive approach that ensures terminology and style meet readers’ expectations.

Little platoons

There's no reference to Hegel in the Tory manifesto, but there is an allusion to one of the founding fathers of conservative thought, Edmund Burke. The "institutional building blocks of the Big Society", the document reads, "[are] the 'little platoons' of civil society". “Little platoons" is a phrase that occurs in Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790), the classic expression of conservative scepticism about large-scale attempts to transform society in the image of abstract ideals. The Tories today use it to refer to the local associations that would go to form a "broad culture of responsibility, mutuality and obligation". The problem is that, for Burke, little platoons weren't groups that you volunteer to join; they were the "social subdivisions" into which you are born - the kind of traditionalism you would have thought Cameron's rebranded "progressive" Conservatives would want to avoid.

Football or soccer, which came first?

With the World Cup underway in Brazil, a lot of people are questioning if we should refer to the "global round-ball game" as "soccer" or "football"? This is visible from the queries of the readers that access my blog. The most visited post ever is indeed “ Differenza tra football e soccer ” and since we are in the World Cup craze I think this topic is worth a post. According to a paper published in May by the University of Michigan and written by the sport economist Stefan Szymanski, "soccer" is a not a semantically bizarre American invention but a British import. Soccer comes from "association football" and the term was used in the UK to distinguish it from rugby football. In countries with other forms of football (USA, Australia) soccer became more generic, basically a synonym for 'football' in the international sense, to distinguish it from their domestic game. If the word "soccer" originated in Eng
