Transforming Soccer Talk in the U.S.: The Misaplication of a Formulaic Announcing Methodology
Major League Soccer and the United States Soccer Federation must reexamine their language ideology. This paper explores steps toward transforming the speech genre of American soccer commentary on television. At present, the traditional two-commentator broadcasting system--comprised of the play-by-play and color commentator--directly conflicts with soccer's natural tongue. This synchronic trend of unnaturally mixing broadcasting elements and applying linguistic techniques from various sports is a breech in the contract of the genre's standard form. Further linguistic neglect will increasingly distort the sport while it's held hostage to the misapplication of a formulaic announcing methodology.

Research - Interface Technologies: A Common Sense Approach - It's
not surprising when technology gives us a trendy word, yet despite its
recent run, there seems to be a genuine fascination with interfaces.
One explanation for the buzz can be linked to a series of technological
proliferations. New devices which offer alternative, yet practical,
connections to information are in high demand. However, despite an
array of new technologies, the trend toward production is increasingly
disconcerting. As more products are marketed, each new method of
exchange combines elements of isolation and exaggeration which, in
turn, facilitate intended and interpreted meaning.
