"The paper highlights the vital role the English language plays in the aviation industry. Its purpose is to explain the connection between the military specialties and branches that can be chosen by the students who pursue a career in aviation, and the ability to speak, write and understand English. The correlation between these two aspects is further sustained by the analysis of the all-time deadliest air disaster – Tenerife, whose major contributing factor was the communication error based on the English language."

Abstract
This article considers the sonic construction of place in English folk music recordings.
Recent shifts in the political context have stimulated renewed interest in English identity within folk music
culture. Symbolic struggles over folk's political significance highlight both the contested nature of English
identity and music's semantic ambiguity, with texts being interpolated into discourses of both ethnic purity
and multiculturalism. Following research in popular music, sound studies and multimodal communication this
article explores the use of field recording to explore questions of place and Englishness in the work of
contemporary folk artists. A multimodal analysis of Stick in the Wheel's From Here: English Folk Field
Recordings (2017) suggests that a multimodal approach
to musical texts that attends to the semantic affordances of sound recording can provide insight into folk
music's role in debates over the nature of English identity.

Interest in Theodor W. Adorno continues to grow in the English-speaking world as the significance of his contribution to philosophy, social and cultural theory, as well as aesthetics is increasingly recognized. Espen Hammer's lucid book is the first to properly analyze the political implications of his work, paying careful attention to Adorno's work on key thinkers such as Kant, Hegel and Benjamin. Examining Adorno's political experiences and assessing his engagement with Marxist as well as liberal theory, Hammer looks at the development of Adorno's thought as he confronts Fasc.
