Argumentation on the image of Finland in the EU

The Ministry of Education as a rhetorician, 1994-2005.

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This work aims at showing differences, if any, in the argumentation on the image of Finland in the European Union in the texts from the Ministry of Education between the years 1994 and 2005. In this work, I studied texts from the Ministry of Education between the here above mentioned dates. My study was limited to texts in English, as my language skills did not allow me to study texts written either in Finnish or Swedish. My main research question is: "Has there been any changes in the representation of the image of Finland in the texts of the Ministry of Education during the period going from 1994 to 2005?" This question leads to more questions such as who does the term "Ministry of Education" refer to? What are the objectives of these texts? What have they been written for? Has Finland changed the way it describes itself? Is there a difference of argumentation depending on whether the writer(s) is (are) Finnish or a foreigner?
