In analysing texts from different genres from 2021 and 2022 – a policy document together with its paratext and an opinion piece released by agricultural organisation Landbrug &amp; Fødevarer, excerpts from Danish broadcast debate programme Debatten, and two governmental policy documents – the study finds a narrative from industrial agricultural organisations that regulation via taxes will result in dissolution. I also find a discourse presenting Danish agriculture as socially and economically important and as a frontrunner in climate friendly food production. This discourse is found both in publications from agricultural representatives and from the Danish Parliament and Government, thus being a hegemonic discourse. A range of discourses of climate delay are found in the texts, many of them emphasizing the nodal point “development” in a push for what Lamb et al. (2020) call non-transformative solutions: technological optimism, investments, and positive incentives are framed as the only viable solutions for the agricultural industry’s large emissions. This finding must be seen in contrast to leading experts’ call for a tax on CO<sub>2</sub> equivalents from agricultural production.</p> 2023-12-28T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Author and Journal of Language Works https://tidsskrift.dk/lwo/article/view/142803 Hvordan lyder det når man er fuld? 2023-12-28T16:52:29+01:00 Karoline Bloch 202205861@post.au.dk Dennis Andersen 202205944@post.au.dk <p>This article presents a suggestion for how to ethically examine changes in speech production caused by alcohol consumption. Specifically, the study examines palatalizations of consonants in speech in two different settings: One in the setting of a podcast Christmas party and the other of social media hosts who each drink 24 beers. We have been able to describe the phonological and auditory features of palatalization and also measure the increase of palatalization in speech from increasingly drunk speakers. We have used Curlingklubben’s podcast for a qualitative analysis. We have found that under the influence of alcohol the tongue control is diminished, and we suggest that it is therefore more likely to produce palatalization. We have used Bjorholms Corner Julekalender for a quantitative study from which we found that the increase in palatalization has some correspondence with intake of alcohol in one speaker and that /l/ /g/ /k/ and /t/ were the phonemes most affected. This article contributes to our understanding of the influence that alcohol has on human speech using publicly available recordings of drunk speakers.&nbsp;</p> 2023-12-28T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Author and Journal of Language Works https://tidsskrift.dk/lwo/article/view/142804 Language Works 8(2) 2023-12-28T16:59:03+01:00 Kirstine Boas boas@cc.au.dk Hanna Birkelund Nilsson hbn@hum.ku.dk William Miki Thorsen wmt@cc.au.dk Jacob Thøgersen jthoegersen@hum.ku.dk Sidsel Holm Rasmussen sira@cc.au.dk 2023-12-28T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Author and Journal of Language Works https://tidsskrift.dk/lwo/article/view/142805 Language Works 8(2) 2023-12-28T17:05:09+01:00 Kirstine Boas boas@cc.au.dk Hanna Birkelund Nilsson hbn@hum.ku.dk William Miki Thorsen wmt@cc.au.dk Jacob Thøgersen jthoegersen@hum.ku.dk Sidsel Holm Rasmussen sira@cc.au.dk 2023-12-28T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Author and Journal of Language Works
