Giannikas, Cristina Nicole. "Early language learning within a Greek regional context." Thesis, London Metropolitan University, 2013. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.595303.
Full textAbstract:
This study focuses on the teaching processes involved in foreign language learning, concentrating on the question of why Greek young learners are not more successful in learning English, despite an early start and high exposure to the foreign language. Central to my study are student-teacher and student-student interactions within Engli sh language classrooms, including any linguistic, pedagogical, motivational or cultural aspects that infonn these interactions and student learning. The study aims to extend the understanding of bow to implement interactive methods within the specific region and develop learners' English communicative competence in an examination-oriented education system. The first part of my study provides an exploratory research, which has been pursued in both state schools and frodistiria in a specific Greek region. Research methods included: lesson observations, teacher interviews and transcription analysis. The second part of the research introduces an intervention study dimension, which consisted of monitoring and modification to classroom practice, exploring the perspective of shifting teaching and learning, providing potential of a new Young Language Leaming philosophy within the Greek context. This part of the research was achieved in a frodistirio in classes of students aged 7-11 in order to improve current language learning clas ses and use the data for cross-sectional comparative purposes. Data collection included open-ended field notes, video-recorded lessons and speaking tasks were audio recorded. A group of older learners attending English Proficiency classes for the preparation of Certificate of Proficiency Exams (ePE), aged 14-15 years old, based in the frodistirio, were also interviewed on their past experience of English language learning in state schools and frodistiria. The Director of the frodistirio, observed 10 language lessons during the research period. These observations provide feedback on students' reactions to interactive tasks from an external reviewer. Finally, parents were requested to complete a questionnaire at the end of the academic year, regarding their children's progress and their feelings of the new methods introduced. The thesis reveals the complexities and paradoxes embedded in the learning environment of English for Young Learners (EYL) in South Western Greece. The findings include the identification of an effective interactive methodology that might be applied in the specific regional setting as an outcome of my own teaching and research. The research in question, explores the potential that exists both within the educational structure and in Young Language Learning (YLL) in Greece. It introduces interactive language learning and identifies its role within this context. The research can contribute to the enablement of successful language learners in an environment where children learn to appreciate the foreign language and encounter it as means of communication and not for examination purposes only.

Alvarez, Heidi Lee. "Regional aspects of Miami crime fiction." FIU Digital Commons, 1999. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/1263.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that forces of literary regionalism and postmodern culture are behind the explosion of crime fiction being written in and about South Florida by a growing number of resident authors.
Research included four methods of investigation: 1. A critical reading of many of the novels that make up the sub-genre. 2. A study of the theories of regionalism, postmodernism and the genre of the crime fiction. 3. Interviews with a number of the authors and a prominent Miami book seller. 4. Sociological studies of Miami in terms of historical events and their cultural significance.
Today's South Florida crime fiction authors cast their narratives in the old genre of the detective novel where characters are delineated according to traditional definitions of good and evil. Evil characters threaten established order. What makes South Florida crime fiction different from traditional detective fiction is its interest in the exotic, postmodern culture and setting of South Florida. Like the region, the villains are exotic and the order that they threaten is postmodern. There is less of an interest in attributing a larger social meaning to the heroes. Rather, there is an ontological interest in the playing out of good against evil in an almost mythical setting that magnifies economic, environmental and racial issues. There is a unique cultural diversity of the city due to the geographical location of Miami in relationship to Latin America and the Caribbean, and the political forces at work in the region. South Florida's subtropical climate, fragile ecosystem, and elements of frontier life in a cosmopolitan city work to support Miami crime fiction. The setting personifies the unpredictability and pastiche of a postmodern world and may call for a new definition for literature that relies on non-traditional regional characteristics.

Schlaak, Claudia. "Island language policy and regional identity east of Africa." Universität Potsdam, 2013. http://opus.kobv.de/ubp/volltexte/2013/6313/.
Full textAbstract:
Since 2011 the Comorian Island of Mayotte has been France’s 101st département, thereby becoming part of the European Union. As a result, France has consolidated and strengthened its strategic position in the Indian Ocean.
With the change of political status in 2011, new developments have occurred in Mayotte. It is still unclear whether the expected economic boom, extensive social benefits or injection of EU regional funds can help to alleviate poverty and raise living standards. There is concern, however, that massive immigration to Mayotte from the surrounding territories is diminishing any progress and will continue to do so. Not only France but also the EU will have to adapt to new immigration problems due to this new external border.
In this situation one thing is clear: the language contact between French and the local languages, which is the result of political developments, is leading to new dynamics. The diglossic situation east of Africa, between French as the dominant language and local languages like Shimaoré or Shibushi spoken in Mayotte will become more marked in the next few years.

Henry, Maya. "Progressive Aphasia: Patterns of Language Behavior and Regional Cortical Atrophy." Diss., The University of Arizona, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/196034.
Full textAbstract:
Primary Progressive aphasia (PPA) is a disorder characterized by gradual decline in language functions, with relative sparing of other cognitive abilities. This behavioral profile results from neurodegenerative disease that preferentially affects language cortex. As is the case in aphasia resulting from stroke, any of several critical language processing domains may be affected in PPA, including syntax, semantics, phonology, and orthography. In stroke-induced aphasia, traditional lesion mapping approaches have provided important insight into the localization of cortical regions supporting these domains. Specifically, left perisylvian cortex has been implicated in syntactic and phonological aspects of language, whereas left extrasylvian cortical regions are associated with lexical-semantic and orthographic functions. The goal of the present study was to seek converging evidence for the role of left hemisphere cortical regions in language using a voxel-based imaging technique in individuals with PPA. Fifteen individuals with progressive aphasia and fifteen normal controls were given a comprehensive language battery comprising tasks in the domains of syntax, semantics, phonology, and orthography. A subset of patients and all normal controls underwent high-resolution structural MRI scanning. Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) was used to characterize patterns of regional cortical atrophy in the patients relative to controls and to correlate language tasks with gray matter volumes. Results confirm a key role for left perisylvian cortex in phonological and syntactic processes, and indicate that left temporal regions are critically involved in semantic processes. Findings shed light on the veracity of the "primary systems" hypothesis of written language, which posits that written language impairments arise from core cognitive deficits affecting semantic and phonological systems.

Markley, E. Dianne. "Regional Accent Discrimination in Hiring Decisions: A Language Attitude Study." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2000. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2623/.
Full textAbstract:
Evidence is presented to support the notion that US regional accents influence decisions in the hiring process. Fifty-six people who hire for a variety of corporations participated in a computerized survey, during which they listened to speakers from regions of the US reading the same passage. Respondents judged the speakers on personal characteristics commonly considered in hiring decisions, attempted to identify the speakers' regions, and selected job categories for each speaker, in addition to providing information about their own linguistic security. Results indicate: 1) judgments based on regional accents strongly correlate to selection of job categories, 2) respondents were not able to identify regional accents correctly, and 3) negative judgments were assigned to the speakers of accents that were correctly identified.

Sampaio, Joanne. "American Perceptions of British Regional Dialects." FIU Digital Commons, 2013. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/959.
Full textAbstract:
Sociolinguists have discussed problematic language ideologies, such as Standard Language Ideology (Lippi-Green 1997) extensively and social perceptions of Standard English in the U.S and U.K are well documented. However, most work in this area has focused on perceptions of dialects within national contexts. This study makes a novel contribution to the study of language attitudes, investigating perceptions of British regional dialects within the U.S. A survey was created to gauge perceptions of five British regional dialects (Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham, Newcastle, London). 49 survey participants listened to audio clips of British regional dialect speakers and then completed a mapping activity, answered perception questions, and ranked each speaker on specific qualities. Results showed that speaker region had a significant effect on perception of almost all variables at a statistically significant rate, despite unfamiliarity with all but the London dialect. Results suggest that although participants are largely unfamiliar with varieties of English in England outside of London, they assessed them by recruiting pre-existing stereotypes about vernacular dialects.

Wilk, Emilie. "Native Speakers' Attitudes toward Regional Varieties of Arabic." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2017. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/1048.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates attitudes toward different regional varieties of Arabic and how native speakers perceive their own dialect vis-à-vis others. Building from previous research in the field, this study specifically seeks to learn which dialects are preferred, which are seen as being nearest to Standard Arabic (fuṣḥā), and whether there is a correlation between masculinity and fuṣḥā. The results of a two-part sociolinguistic questionnaire, distributed to 44 participants, suggest that many native Arabic speakers have overall positive attitudes about their own dialects, though this is often complicated by factors of prestige and gender. When asked directly which dialect they believed to be most similar to fuṣḥā, many participants list Arabian Peninsula varieties, yet when asked more indirectly the majority of participants indicate their own dialect is nearest to fuṣḥā. Finally, the proposed relationship between masculinity and fuṣḥā, suggested but never substantiated by earlier studies, proves to be epiphenomenal here.

Full textAbstract:
This exploratory study utilized qualitative methods to approach regional language abilities of local respondents and how it affects their regional identity. The theoretical framework of this study explored some of the tenets of symbolic interaction emphasizing on identity theory and how the flexible aspect of face-to-face interaction can define the self and someone's regional identity as it relates to their regional language use. Data for this study were collected in a small Occitan village in Southern France. In particular, the study explored the link between an individual residential setting, his/her age and his/her ability to speak the regional language. The results indicate that the ability to speak the specific regional or even sub regional language does not greatly affect an individual's regional identity, thus potentially contributing to the continuing decline of that language in the region. Furthermore, that future studies are merited to explore whether these results are specific or if they can more broadly be applied to other Occitan regions or elsewhere where regional languages are spoken.M.A.

Şengül, Ceren. "Varieties of 'Kurdishness' in Turkey : state rhetoric, language, and regional comparison." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/23452.
Full textAbstract:
Kurds are the largest ethnic group in Turkey; they have been at the centre of conflict since the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923. Scattered across Turkey, with their own language, distinct from the official language of the state, and historically subject to the state’s homogenisation policies, Kurds present an interesting case for scholars of ethnicity. How does this history affect the way ‘Kurdishness’ is manifested? While Kurds’ relationship with the Turkish state and increasingly their everyday lives been widely studied, the diversity of the Kurdish experience in Turkey is not well understood. Drawing on the literature on boundary theory pioneered by Frederick Barth (1969) and developed by Andreas Wimmer (2013) among others, this thesis explores manifestations of ‘Kurdishness’ in Turkey. To do this, this thesis is interested in the role that state rhetoric, region and language play. The research design sought to capture something of the diversity of Kurdish experience across Turkey, specifically in Western Turkey (Istanbul, which has the largest Kurdish population within Turkey, and Ayvalık, a small town with certain Kurdish districts) and Southeast Turkey (multi-ethnic Mardin, Diyarbakır, the ‘spiritual capital’ for Kurds, and Derik, a small town predominated by Kurds). The research utilised three methods: semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. 33 semi-structured interviews were conducted with Kurdish respondents, both native- and non-native speakers of Kurdish. Participant observation was also undertaken. This data was collected between January and May 2013, with follow-up research conducted in June 2014. In addition, party documents, speeches and statements by party leaders, and selected laws from the early Republican period (1923-1938) and the AKP period (from 2002 to the present) were analysed. This research suggests that ‘Kurdishness’ in Turkey is manifested in different forms. Instead of taking ‘Kurdishness’ as a matter of degree, this thesis suggests that individuals exhibit ‘Kurdishness’ in a variety of forms. Context is key. The thesis first examines the role of state rhetoric in categorising Kurdishness during two ‘moments of transition’, the creation of the Kemalist Republic and the advent of the AKP in power. It is suggested that not only changes but also continuities in state rhetoric play a significant role in the construction of ‘Kurdishness’ in these two moments. There is regional dimension to the display of Kurdishness. Specifically the boundaries of what constitutes Kurdishness contrast markedly by region. This is reflected in my respondents’ experience of discrimination and prejudice in their interactions with non-Kurds. Finally, family and neighbourhood also play a key role in shaping different forms. Specifically, the use of language in these environments plays an important role in shaping different forms of ‘Kurdishness’.

This is a sociolinguistic investigation of regional dialect levelling and the role that standardised language plays for this particular type of dialect change. This study combines a quantitative variationist investigation of linguistic variation and change in East Norwegian cities Hønefoss and Oslo with experimental and qualitative studies of attitudinal data in Hønefoss. The aim of the study is to shed light on the role that standard language ideologies play for loss of localised dialects. Varieties of East Norwegian spoken in the small city Hønefoss and the capital city Oslo are becoming increasingly alike. Oslo speech is an influential factor in the loss in Hønefoss of local linguistic variants in variables 3pl personal pronouns and

Harrison, Michelle. "Managing France's regional languages : language policy in bilingual primary education in Alsace." Thesis, University of Liverpool, 2012. http://livrepository.liverpool.ac.uk/11315/.
Full textAbstract:
The introduction of regional language bilingual education in France dates back to the late 1960s in the private education system and to the 1980s in the public system. Before this time the extensive use of regional languages was forbidden in French schools, which served as ‘local centres for the gallicisation of France’ (Blackwood 2008, 28). France began to pursue a French-only language policy from the time of the 1789 Revolution, with Jacobin ideology proposing that to be French, one must speak French. Thus began the shaping of France into a nation-state. As the result of the official language policy that imposed French in all public domains, as well as extra-linguistic factors such as the Industrial Revolution and the two World Wars, a significant language shift occurred in France during the twentieth century, as an increasing number of parents chose not to pass on their regional language to the next generation. In light of the decline in intergenerational transmission of the regional languages, Judge (2007, 233) concludes that ‘in the short term, everything depends on education in the [regional languages]’. This thesis analyses the development of language policy in bilingual education programmes in Alsace; Spolsky’s tripartite language policy model (2004), which focuses on language management, language practices and language beliefs, will be employed. In spite of the efforts of the State to impose the French language, in Alsace the traditionally non-standard spoken regional language variety, Alsatian, continued to be used widely until the mid-twentieth century. Whilst Alsatian has been spoken, the traditional language of writing and reference has been standard German. Today Alsace is a region of north eastern France, but it has existed under the political control of Germany for prolonged periods of time in the past, changing hands between the two countries five times between the seventeenth and twentieth centuries. Since the mid-twentieth century a significant language shift away from Alsatian has occurred in the region, with estimates that over 90% spoke the language variety in 1946 in comparison with only 43% of the population in 2012 (OLCA 2012a). Regional language bilingual education programmes were introduced in Alsace in the early 1990s in the private and public education systems. In both systems the language-in-education policy supported has primarily promoted the learning of and through French and standard German. The case study that forms the central part of the thesis seeks to examine current language policy in practice. It will analyse the place of Alsatian in the modern regional language bilingual classroom and examine the language beliefs of the key actors in the bilingual education programmes (namely parents, teachers and policy-makers at regional level). Finally, it will discuss what this means for efforts to reverse the language shift in twenty-first-century Alsace.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.U.S. Marine Corps recently developed the Regional, Culture, and Language Familiarization Program (RCLF), which assigns newly promoted sergeants and commissioned officers to one of the 17 regions established by the RCLF office. As of now, there is no formal process established in assigning Marines to one of the 17 regions. The assignment is done manually and oftentimes, by random allocation without a standard operating procedure. We developed two integer-programming models and a matching algorithm that utilizes top trading cycle and serial dictatorship. These models optimize the assignment based on Marines and USMC preferences. We find that the benchmark integer programing model is the best in terms of assigning most Marines within their top four choices. Regardless, satisfaction rate of any of the three models are higher than the random assignment model.

Full textAbstract:
Since its conception in folklore and superstition, the vampire has had an innate ability to reflect the environment of the culture that creates it. Each manifestation of this being is entirely unique to the culture in which it is born. The vampire of the American South is no exception to this idea. As a region with a particularly tumultuous history, the South has been molded by many cultural influences. Religion, sexuality, and race are some of the most notable factors to have impacted the area. Many Southern authors writing vampire fiction explore the fears, stereotypes, and prejudices of the culture with the vampire characters as a means to represent and critique Southern identity. Vampires in Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, Poppy Z. Brite’s Lost Souls, Scott Nicholson’s They Hunger, Alan Ball’s True Blood, and Patrick Lussier’s Dracula 2000 all reveal something about the culture of the South.

Full textAbstract:
The following work is an analysis of Martin Luther's Two Kingdoms Theory. This influential and controversial theory was introduced in his 1523 treatise, Von weltlicher Obrigkeit--Secular Authority. Although this document was written almost 500 years ago and takes its cue from the writings of St. Augustine and the Bible, it continued to have a significant effect on German society in both the political and religious realm well into the present day. Based on an analysis of the text and on the culture and literature that led Luther to write Von weltlicher Obrigkeit, this thesis evaluates various interpretations and applications of the Two Kingdoms Theory. The specific effects of Luther's teaching during the Nazi era are examined politically and theologically. Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Religionsloses Christentum--Religionless Christianity and Martin Luther's Zwei-Reiche-Lehre--Two Kingdoms Theory will be compared to demonstrate that they illuminate the same truth from different vantage points: neither people nor their rules are viable substitutes for God. A brief introduction explains the means of analysis used in this thesis, which is based on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's call for a new religionless language as described in letters written during his imprisonment by the Nazi regime.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates phonetic and phonological variation in the bilingual repertoire of adolescent Welsh-English bilinguals living in North Wales. It contributes to linguistic research by, firstly, providing an account of language variation in an under-studied area (N. Wales) and context (regional minority language bilingualism) and, secondly, by examining cross-linguistic variation, and the constraints on this variation, in bilingual speech. The two variables under discussion differ in how they are realised in the two languages: /l/ is thought to be heavily velarised in both languages as a result of long-term contact and phonological convergence. Variation in the production of /r/ and realisation of coda /r/ has hitherto been reported as language-specific, though frequent transfer is said to occur from Welsh to English in predominantly Welsh-speaking areas (e.g. Penhallurick 2004: 110; Wells 1982: 390).The first aim of the study is therefore to quantify claims of phonological convergence and transfer in the speech of Welsh-English bilinguals by using a variationist sociolinguistics methodology (e.g. Labov 1966), which also considers the influence of linguistic and extra-linguistic factors on variation. Particular attention is paid to differences between a majority Welsh-speaking town and a town where English is the main language. A further distinction is made between those from Welsh-speaking homes and those from English-speaking homes who have acquired Welsh through immersion education. The second aim is to make empirically-informed theoretical claims about the nature of phonological convergence and transfer, and conceptualise cross-linguistic interaction in the speech of Welsh-English bilinguals in light of existing frameworks. Data (sociolinguistic interviews and wordlists) were collected in Welsh and English from 32 Welsh-English bilinguals aged 16-18. The sample was equally stratified in terms of speaker sex, home language, and area. The two towns compared in the study are Caernarfon (N.W. Wales, where c.88% of the population speak Welsh) and Mold (N.E. Wales, where c. 20% Welsh of the population speak Welsh). The results indicate that English [ɫ] tends to be lighter than Welsh [ɫ] in word-initial onset position for females, and in word-medial intervocalic position for both males and females. The data also show linguistic influences on the realisation of [ɫ] in both languages, and differences between males and females. The realisation of coda /r/ and production of [r] and [ɾ] in English are confined to the speech of those from Welsh-speaking homes in Caernarfon. In Welsh, use of [ɹ] is widespread and is constrained by a more complex interaction between area, home language, and sex. On the basis of these findings, I conclude that features which have undergone phonological convergence due to long-term language contact may be subject to language-specific constraints when implemented phonetically. In terms of transfer, I argue for a ternary distinction between interference, transfer, and transfer which is constrained by linguistic and/or extra-linguistic factors (cf. Grosjean 2012). Finally, I suggest that Mufwene’s (2001) notion of the ‘feature pool’ is the most succinct way of conceptualising Welsh-English transfer and differentiate between more focussed accents of English and a less-focussed variety of North Wales Welsh.

Full textAbstract:
Esta dissertação aborda o uso do conceito de narrativa transmídia, proposto por Henry Jenkins, como estratégia de ensino-aprendizagem para um curso de língua francesa, na modalidade de ensino a distância. O texto aborda a seguinte questão de pesquisa: a utilização da narrativa transmídia como ferramenta participativa em um ambiente de ensino-aprendizagem de língua estrangeira pode gerar uma proposta que objetive o desenvolvimento da competência linguística? A partir deste problema estipula-se, como objetivo geral, desenvolver uma proposta de ensino-aprendizagem de língua estrangeira, com recursos transmidiáticos que estimulem os estudantes a ampliar sua competência de comunicação em francês. Decorrentes deste objetivo principal, têm-se dois objetivos específicos: a criação de uma unidade de estudo da língua francesa em um Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem (AVA) e a exploração dos potenciais da narrativa transmídia neste AVA, mediante a valorização da literatura regional no contexto de um ambiente participativo. Como tema de estudo, utiliza a controversa amizade entre um pescador do sul da ilha de Florianópolis e um funcionário da companhia francesa de correio aéreo, Aéropostale, chamado pelos ilhéus de Zé Perri, no final dos anos 1920. Este aeroviário (ou aeronauta) tem sua identidade associada ao escritor Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, que foi piloto da companhia. A vinculação entre Zé Perri e o escritor famoso inicia um processo que propicia o uso de elementos inerentes à narrativa transmídia e às culturas fan e participativa como agentes promocionais de uma literatura regionalizada e da língua francesa. Faz isso por meio do relato oral, de um incipiente mercado editorial bilíngue e da internet. Ao compor um conjunto de obras de tradução, ficção e documentário, sugere um universo fan fiction singular. Neste contexto, a trilogia Esferas, do filósofo alemão Peter Sloterdijk, é o que engloba toda essa amálgama cultural em uma única teoria geral, com Bolhas, que trata sobre o relacionamento íntimo entre as esferas humanas; Globos, que abrange o movimento de circulação globalizante; e Espumas, que descreve o caráter de descentramento da modernidade. Como resultado deste trabalho, obteve-se a formulação do microcurso O Caso Zé Perri, construído no AVA Moodle e disponível no endereço moodle.correspondente.jor.br.Submitted by cmquadros@ucs.br (cmquadros@ucs.br) on 2018-03-14T14:49:34Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Marcos Antonio do Amaral de Freitas.pdf: 2714705 bytes, checksum: e810315bce9c1e2a4d0a027a79ad9cd6 (MD5)

Cette dissertation traite de l’utilisation du concept de Transmedia Storytelling, proposé par Henry Jenkins, en tant que stratégie pédagogique pour un cours de langue française à distance. Le texte aborde la question de recherche suivante : l'utilisation de la narration transmédia em tant qu'instrument participatif dans un environnement d'enseignement et d'apprentissage d'une langue étrangère peut-il gérer une proposition qui objective le développement de la compétence linguistique ? A partir de ce problème on stipule, comme objectif général, le développement d'une proposition d'enseignement et d'apprentissage d'une langue étrangère, à l'aide de ressources transmédias qui stimulent les élèves à étendre leur compétence de communication en français. En fonction de cet objectif principal, deux objectifs spécifiques apparaissent : la création d'une unité d'étude de la langue française sur un Environnement d'Apprentissage Virtuel (EAV) et l'exploration des potentiels de la narration transmédia sur cet EAV, par le biais de la valorisation de la littérature régionale dans le contexte participatif. Nous utiliserons comme thématique d’étude, l’amitié controversée entre un pêcheur du sud de l’île de Florianópolis et un employé de l’entreprise française de poste aérienne, Compagnie générale aéropostale, surnommé Zé Perri par les insulaires, à la fin des années 1920. L’identité de cet employé de la poste aérienne a été associée à l’écrivain Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, qui était pilote de l’entreprise. Le lien entre Zé Perri et le célèbre écrivain entame un processus qui favorise l’utilisation d’éléments inhérents au Transmedia Storytelling et aux cultures fan et participative comme agents de promotion d’une littérature régionale et de la langue française. Ce lien intervient par l’usage du récit oral, d’un marché éditorial bilingue naissant et d’internet. Cet ensemble d’ouvrages de traduction, de fiction et de documentaire suggère un univers singulier de fan fiction. Dans ce contexte, la trilogie Sphères, du philosophe allemand Peter Sloterdijk, englobe cet amalgame culturel dans une théorie générale unique, avec Bulles, qui traite des relations intimes entre les sphères humaines ; Globes, qui aborde le mouvement de circulation globalisant ; et Écumes, qui décrit le caractère de décentralisation de la modernité. Comme résultat de ce travail, on a obtenu la formulation du micro-cours Le Cas Zé Perri, construit sur l'EAV Moodle et disponible à l'adresse moodle.correspondente.jor.br.

Esta investigação visa a avaliar a política e planejamento da linguagem de uma universidade federal brasileira pautada em um projeto de integração latino-americana de educação bilíngue em português e espanhol. Particularmente, foram avaliados os efeitos desse projeto sobre o perfil sociolinguístico e ideologias linguísticas dos estudantes. Situado no campo interdisciplinar de pesquisas de Política e Planejamento da Linguagem (PPL), e com foco no eixo avaliação, o presente estudo integrou análises de natureza quantitativa e qualitativa e propôs um enquadre analítico baseado em três dimensões, conjuntural, social e individual, de modo a construir uma compreensão ampla dos efeitos e dos fatores que os geraram. A partir desse procedimento analítico-metodológico, identificou-se que atuam, na política e planejamento da linguagem institucionais, além da proposta de educação bilíngue e do ensino obrigatório de espanhol e português, fatores como a localização na fronteira trinacional formada por Argentina, Brasil e Paraguai e a composição discente e docente da Universidade. A avaliação realizada mostrou que a (inter)ação desses fatores com diferentes orientações ideológicas de política da linguagem gerou múltiplos efeitos na comunidade estudantil, relacionados a processos de mudança e manutenção nos usos e conhecimento das línguas, bem como nas ideologias linguísticas. Quanto aos usos, avaliou-se que tais fatores contribuíram tanto para o contato, integração e usos bilíngues quanto para o conflito, exclusão e transferência de relações assimétricas da região para a universidade. Ademais, contribuíram também para um avanço desigual no aumento do conhecimento e usos do espanhol e do português nos ambientes familiar e educacional, bem como para a perda de outras línguas nesses ambientes, especialmente das originárias. Com relação aos efeitos nas ideologias linguísticas, foi avaliado que a política e planejamento da linguagem da instituição, ao se pautarem na educação bilíngue em espanhol e português e atribuírem a estas a função de línguas de ensino e de produção de conhecimento científico, promoveram o fortalecimento das duas línguas majoritárias, entretanto, no que tange a demais línguas, em especial as originárias, novamente favoreceram a redução do seu status. Por fim, discutiu-se a divergência entre a política e planejamento de integração, de identidade e da linguagem, e se concluiu que o alinhamento dessas diversas políticas e planejamentos seria um possível caminho para o avanço da instituição em direção aos seus objetivos
This investigation aims to evaluate the language policy and planning featured in a Brazilian federal university based on a Latin American integration project with bilingual education in Portuguese and Spanish. The effects on this project over the sociolinguistic profile of students and their linguistic ideologies were thoroughly analyzed. Lying in the interdisciplinary field of Language Policy and Planning (LPP), with a focus on evaluation, this study integrated quantitative and qualitative analyses, and proposed an analytical framework in three dimensions, conjunctural, social and individual, in order to build a wide comprehension of the effects and the factors from which they were generated. According to this analytical and methodological procedure, it was verified that, besides the bilingual education proposal and the compulsory teaching of Spanish and Portuguese, factors such as the location in the trinational region of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay and how the student body and faculty are constituted also have an impact on the institutional language policy and planning. The evaluation revealed that the interaction of these factors, along with different ideological orientations of language policies, generated several effects amongst students, in processes of changing or maintaining the use and kwnoledge of languages, as well as the linguistic ideologies. As far as use is concerned, it was demonstrated that these factors contributed not only to the contact, integration and bilingual uses of languages, but also to conflicts, exclusion and the transfer of asymmetric relationships from the region to the university. Moreover, there was an uneven progress in the grown of knowledge and in the use of Spanish and Portuguese at the family and educational environments, along with the loss of other languages at these environments, mainly their native ones. Regarding the effects in the linguistic ideologies, it was verified that language policy and planning in the institution, by relying on bilingual education in Spanish and Portuguese, and their role as languages of instruction and production of scientific work, strengthened both major languages. Nevertheless, the other languages, particularly the native ones, were once again excluded or had their status diminished. Finally, a thorough discussion concerning the divergence between policies of integration, identity and language took place, and it was concluded that the alignment of these several policies and plans would enable the institution to move forward towards its objectives

Full textAbstract:
The Captive Press argues that nineteenth-century Indian captivity narratives escaped from the expectations of the American literary marketplace through manipulations of the material text. With modern methods of production, promotion, and dissemination, captivity narratives dominated the reading public even as Native peoples were forced to submit to governmental encroachments. This study focuses on narratives produced by and about Anglo-American women whose impoverished return from captivity motivated them to write for their livelihood. The narratives of Rachel Parker Plummer, Sarah Larimer, Fanny Kelly, and Abbie Gardner-Sharp were designed to appeal to local readers who were likely to become financial sponsors through direct marketing. Later editions added para-textual material, developed textual content, and introduced illustrations such as wood engravings or photographs to increase marketability for broader audiences. By publishing captivity narratives on state presses and distributing them through regional print networks, nineteenth-century producers maintained the homegrown flavor of the genre while expanding readership beyond local boundaries. This dissertation demonstrates how, with the assistance of editors, illustrators, and publishers, these entrepreneurial women reversed their subject position to hold the popular press captive.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the processes of the formation and re-formation of folk cultures in north-eastern Scotland. Focusing on the area surrounding Aberdeen, I am interested in the historical and contemporary relationships between Highland and north-eastern versions of Scottishness. During the 1990's, a burgeoning north-eastern regional and cultural self-awareness, centred on the "Doric" dialect, was evidenced in the founding of the Elphinstone Research Institute at the University of Aberdeen, and in the founding of an annual Doric Festival. This institutionalisation has taken place in a situation in which Scottish national traditions have remained popular in the region and the Scottish nation has experienced a greater degree of political autonomy. The continued reproduction of both Scottishness and north-easternness is resultant of the ways in which culture and language have been mobilised, politicised and legitimised through the erection and operation of institutional frameworks. The role of expert and enthusiast knowledges in the propagation of cultural trends is analysed here through an exploration of the spectacularisation and banalisation of tradition. In particular, I unpack the tensions that claims for authenticity create with regard to the ballad and literary traditions of the north-east, and to the Highland Games and Gatherings of the same region. Exploring joint actions and knowledges, I demonstrate the efficacy of performative language and embodied practice in communicating, stabilising and normalising rhetorical ideas concerning Scottish cultures. As the contingent factors that give language and practice variable meanings become fixed through citation, the formation of dominant readings is enabled. The normalisation of spectacular events is crucial in the communication of authenticity and the establishment and recreation of national or regional identities. As perceived authenticity substitutes for objectivity in the popular imagination, everyday apprehensions of Scottishness and north- easternness are both made more durable and infused with a strong legitimacy by their very performance and naming.

A pesquisa sobre a função do rádio na preservação de uma língua teve por objetivo descobrir os motivos pelos quais milhares de pessoas sintonizam programas radiofônicos transmitidos em talian na Região da Serra Gaúcha. Para isso, levantaram-se dados relativos ao Programa Cancioníssima da Rádio São Francisco SAT de Caxias do Sul. Transmitido em talian, ele permanece na grade de programação da emissora desde 1984. Analisou-se, através de um questionário aplicado a 28 ouvintes, os principais pontos de audiência e aceitação do programa radiofônico que apresenta histórias, contos e músicas em talian. Buscou-se, ainda, a contextualização do talian em dois momentos: o primeiro, o das origens do talian e, o segundo, o dos atos de revitalização da língua registrados a partir das comemorações do Centenário da Imigração Italiana no Rio Grande do Sul. Verificou-se que o rádio tem importante contribuição diretamente ligada à preservação do talian na região da serra, principalmente como suporte de políticas de salvaguarda dessa língua, além de auxiliar como instrumento de resgate das tradições e costumes deixados pelos primeiros imigrantes que chegaram à região da serra gaúcha no final do século XIX.Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-06-02T19:20:55Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Tales Giovani Armiliato.pdf: 5378007 bytes, checksum: 0813ac31453cf43dee698ecaed267f25 (MD5)

The aim of this research on radio´s role in preserving a language is to discover why thousands of people still sintonize radio programmes transmitted in talian dialect in the Region of Serra Gaúcha, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Data related to the radio programme called Cancioníssima San Francisco SAT from the city of Caxias do Sul was collected. This programme has been transmitted in talian since 1984 and discloses stories, tales and songs in this dialect. An oral interview was applied to 28 listeners in order to analyze the main points of audience and its acceptance. The project shows two different contextualizations which are: the origins of talian dialect and the acts of language revitalization registered after the celebration of the Centenary of the Italian Immigration in Rio Grande do Sul. The radio has an important contribution directly linked to the preservation of talian in the Region of Serra Gaúcha, mainly as a support to safeguard policies and as an instrument of redemption of the traditions and customs left by the first immigrants who came to the Region of Serra Gaúcha in the late 19th century.

Full textAbstract:
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) has been shown to have significant effects on the development of a child. Currently there is limited South African research regarding HIV and specific characteristics of communication development, and the treatment thereof, in the child infected with HIV. The objective of the research was to describe the communication characteristics of a group of children between the ages of 0 – 5 years infected with HIV at a hospital in Gauteng, South Africa. Clinic records of 203 children infected with HIV between the ages of 0-5 years were reviewed by using a pre-designed checklist within the outreach clinic of a large regional hospital. A questionnaire was completed by 4 medical practitioners working with this population within the outreach clinic. A total of 91.62% of the infected children were diagnosed as being either in Stage III or IV of the disease (according to the WHO classification system of 2005), with all infants presenting with a CD4 count of ≤ 60. The majority (75.37% of the total sample) were receiving HAART (Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy) at the time the data was collected. According to their medical, social, communication and general development, almost all the children qualified for Early Communication Intervention (ECI) but were not recorded as being referred for such services. A large proportion of the target population presented with opportunistic infections and/or HIV associated conditions. The results highlight the developmental characteristics of children living with HIV, and identify the need for medical doctors and allied health professionals to be provided with relevant literature or training regarding the communication development of children infected with HIV. This will facilitate appropriate referrals for ECI services.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the interplay between regional, national and transnational dimensions of identity and language in the Danish and, to a lesser extent, the German minority communities of Sleswig. It also investigates the relationship between subjective and objective interpretations of minority membership. Obtaining data from a survey study carried out on 208 individuals from the Sleswigian minorities, this thesis maps out the composition of minority identity in the 21st century, whilst also using historical evidence as an explanation for the findings. The study shows that the minorities function as two closely-linked and supplementary groups to the national majorities. German language dominates most spheres in both minorities, yet bilingualism and code-switching are essential to minority life and defining group identity. Furthermore, whilst national identities are of a lesser importance to the minorities today than regional or transnational identities, minority identity is still nonetheless hybridised from its roots in the national cultures and languages of Denmark and Germany. The minorities are thus able to "cherry-pick" social, economic, political and linguistic capital from both nations. I argue that although minority identity and language are constantly under negotiation, legitimising a claim to minority identity by way of subjective will is nevertheless juxtaposed with meeting certain objective criteria expected by members of the communities, such as bilingualism, ancestral and geographical links to the region, an understanding of regional history and shared political beliefs. The study seeks originality by mapping the interaction between the regional, national and transnational dimensions of identity in the Danish and German minorities and by examining the influence of social media on identity expression in Sleswig. It also provides a fresh critical understanding of the impact of language on minority identity formation across recent generations in Sleswig. Finally, the thesis proposes a theoretical framework for the study of hybrid and dual minority identities, rooted in theories from nationalism studies, sociology, anthropology and sociolinguistics.

Vidas Secas, de Graciliano Ramos é considerada uma obra prima da ficção regional da Literatura Brasileira da Geração de 30. O romance é um documento sobre a vida miserável de uma família de retirantes nordestinos, que sofrem as consequências da seca no sertão. O estudo do vocabulário que permeia a trajetória dessa família gerou as bases para elaboração deste trabalho que tem como objetivo principal a formação de um glossário de termos regionais nordestinos presentes na obra em estudo, a fim de contribuir com um dicionário da ficção do referido autor. Para isso, faz-se necessário discorrer sobre a linguagem literária no Brasil a partir do Romantismo até o Modernismo.

The novel is a document about the miserable life of a family of northeasterner migrants, who suffer the consequences of drought in backlands. The study of vocabulary that permeates the trajectory of this family originated the bases for the preparation of this work, which has as its main objective the training of a glossary of regional terms present in the work focused in this study, in order to contribute with a dictionary of the referred authors fictional and autobiographical works. For this reason it is necessary to discuss the literary language in Brazil from Romanticism to Modernism and expose the evolutionary curve of Brazilian regionalist tradition in fiction of Romanticism to Modernism, emphasizing authors and works that participate in the process of creation and evolution of the genre in focus

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorEste trabalho discute a cultura e a identidade roraimense e alguns desdobramentos, a partir do processo de hibridação representada na obra de arte do artista plástico, Jorge Augusto Cardoso. Para tanto, utilizamos fundamentos teórico-metodológicos oriundos dos Estudos Culturais para abarcar Cultura, Identidade, Linguagem Visual, Arte Regional, Regionalismo, Regionalidade, Hibridação e epresentação, visando analisar o processo de constituição identitária de Roraima, além de compreender seus elementos envolvidos neste processo, nos quais possibilitaram visualizar as formas de ser roraimense, revelados no cenário imagético do artista, permeados de diferenças e conflitos. Sob este prisma, diversas formas de representações simbólicas valorizadas no espaço regional, criadas pelo artista, foram estudadas, e novas concepções foram extraídas, ao mesmo tempo, gerando novas leituras. Dessa maneira, esta análise traz possibilidades de identidades desenvolvidas no sistema de representação contida na obra, na qual espaços foram criados e construídos, possibilitando aos sujeitos, posicionar-se e construir novas identidades; apropriar e reconstruir identidades para seu uso.
This paper discusses Roraima`s culture and identity and some developments from the hybridization process represented in the art work of the artist, Jorge Augusto Cardoso. For this purpose, we used theoretical and methodological foundations from Cultural Studies to cover Culture, Identity, Visual Language, Regional Art, Regionalism, Regionality, Hybridization and Representation in order to analyze the process of identity formation of Roraima, and to understand its elements involved in this process, which allowed us to view the forms of "being" Roraima, revealed in the artist imagery scenery, riddled by conflicts and differences. In this light, various forms of symbolic representations valued in the region, created by artist, were studied, and new concepts were extracted at the same time generating new readings. Thus, this analysis gives possibilities of identity developed in the system of representation contained in the work, in which spaces were designed and built, enabling subjects to position themselves and to build new identities; to appropriate and to reconstruct identities for their use.

This study uses the seven novels, by the author Rachel de Queiroz (1910-2003): O Quinze (1930), João Miguel (1932), Caminhos de Pedra (1937), as Três Marias (1939), O Galo de Ouro (1950), Dôra, Doralina (1975), and Memorial de Maria Moura (1992) with the objective of identifying and describing the regional lexicon from the Brazilian Northeast, especially, from Ceará, the state where she was born. Such objective was justified by the author's own words who said, in several occasions, that her characters, although they are fictional, they are representative of the Northeast culture, and that they also refer to characteristics of the people from her social life. The investigation of Rachel de Queiroz's work, in a linguistic perspective, is quite relevant due to the fact that this author presents in her writing a set of works composed greatly of ordinary language from the Northeast. This language is presented through countless regionalisms, which encompass words and expressions and proverbs. All this richness in ways of speaking may be found, mainly, in her novels, since it was exactly, through this literary genre, that Rachel de Queiroz expressed the dramatic situation of men in the dry and poor lands of the Northeast. In the composition of a literary work, the lexicon assumes an important role in the sense of that it provides us with a monitoring process of advance and transformation of language integrated in the culture of a people. For that, this research will be conducted in the prospect of theoretical principles of Lexicology and Lexicography, based on Aragão (2006), Krieger et al (2006), Biderman (2001), Isquerdo (1998), and Barbosa (1991), in order to produce a glossary with lexical regional unities presented in Rachel de Queiroz's novels. We believe that this perspective of research is relevant to Linguistic studies, since it treats of a social and ethnolinguistic research, which investigates the linguistic variation in its social context, more particularly, concerning the linguistic process and the Northeastern regional culture, inserted in the glossary, as a way of giving contribution to some gaps in the area of Lexicology and Lexicography, specially, the regional one, and to Rachel de Queiroz's literary criticism.
Este trabalho utiliza os sete romances da escritora Rachel de Queiroz (1910-2003), O Quinze (1930), João Miguel (1932), Caminhos de Pedra (1937), as Três Marias (1939), O Galo de Ouro (1950), Dôra, Doralina (1975) e Memorial de Maria Moura (1992), e tem por objetivo identificar e descrever o léxico regional característico do Nordeste brasileiro, de modo especial, o do Ceará, terra natal da escritora. Tal objetivo é justificado a partir de diversas declarações da escritora, para quem seus personagens, embora fictícios, são representativos da cultura nordestina e também remetem a características de pessoas da sua convivência social. Estudar a obra de Rachel de Queiroz, numa perspectiva linguística, é bastante significativo, pelo fato de a escritora cearense apresentar, em sua escritura, um conjunto de obras construídas, sobremaneira, com a linguagem popular do Nordeste. Essa linguagem nos é apresentada através de inúmeros regionalismos, que vão desde vocábulos e expressões a provérbios. Toda essa riqueza dos modos de falar pode ser encontrada, principalmente, nos romances, pois foi exatamente nesse gênero literário que Rachel de Queiroz expressou o drama do homem das terras secas e pobres do Nordeste. Na composição de uma obra literária, o estudo do léxico assume um papel de suma importância no sentido de nos proporcionar um acompanhamento do processo de avanço e de transformação da língua integrada na cultura de um povo. Por isso, este estudo será desenvolvido à luz dos princípios teóricos da Lexicologia e da Lexicografia, que serão utilizados conforme Aragão (2006), Krieger et al (2006), Biderman (2001), Isquerdo (1998) e Barbosa (1991), para a elaboração de um glossário dos itens lexicais que constituem o regionalismo presente na obra romanesca de Rachel de Queiroz. Acreditamos que uma pesquisa, nestes moldes, está revestida de importância para os estudos linguísticos, por tratar-se de uma pesquisa sócio e etnolinguística, a qual investiga a variação da linguagem em seu contexto social, mais precisamente, no que diz respeito ao processo linguístico e à cultura regional nordestina, anotados no glossário a que nos propomos realizar, como forma de cooperar com algumas lacunas da Lexicologia e Lexicografia, mormente, a regional, para a fortuna crítica da obra de Rachel de Queiroz.

Por ello, el presente trabajo consiste en demostrar mediante un análisis semiótico que, si bien a simple vista las particularidades de la película la distancian del cine estándar consumido en multicines, su éxito radica en el discurso que sus particularidades melodramáticas resaltan y en los efectos emocionales que genera en su público, sobre todo el del reconocimiento de sus diferencias.Trabajo de investigación

Full textAbstract:
The emergence of regional security organisations during the 1990s in Africa proved to be of great significance for the lives of many Africans, including those living in conflict-torn countries such as Liberia, Sierra Leone, Côte d’Ivoire or the Democratic Republic of Congo, but, at the same time, this phenomenon has been understudied. This dissertation explores why regional security organisations with an agenda of democratic governance emerged in Africa in the 1990s. This question is answered with two in-depth case studies on the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC). Driven by an empirical puzzle, this study is both hypothesis-testing and hypothesis generating. The study starts by laying out the different possible factors put forward by several bodies of theory in international relations to explain the emergence of ECOWAS and SADC as security organisations. These hypotheses are then tested throughout the history and the evolution of ECOWAS and SADC in order to highlight the circumstances of their creation and their qualified failure as economic communities. This is followed by a comparative analysis of the security and democracy mandates entrusted to ECOWAS and SADC by its member states based on the study of the legal texts that outline the specific objectives of each regional security organisation and the tools they were given to implement their mandates. The study finally analyses the implementation records of ECOWAS and SADC in order to assess the commitment of their member states to their new democracy and security mandate. The research concludes with the two following hypotheses: 1) A security agenda cannot emerge without the involvement of the regional hegemon. 2) What the regional hegemon can do, including affecting the speed of the transformation, is constrained by the acceptance of its leadership by its neighbours (legitimacy) and by state weakness (capability).

Full textAbstract:
More Than Heavy Rain brings together poems of intense observation culled from a life lived mostly outside. Set mostly around the poet’s home along the Watauga River in northeast Tennessee, the poems also reach out to such distant locations as Montana, Alaska, and post-war Germany. Some of them reconstruct the poet’s childhood in rural West Virginia. Some examine his family history, the events and relatives who helped determine the way he views the world.https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu_books/1044/thumbnail.jpg

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the determinants of Taiwan’s import changes and the underlying factors of the decreasing Swedish export to Taiwan between 1994 and 2005.
The empirical study includes 36 countries from both the Pacific Rim and OECD. Based on a modified gravity model of trade, the regression model aims to examine how GDP growth in the exporting country, exchange rate changes, common language, and membership in APEC affect Taiwan’s import volume. The result shows estimates with expected signs, with 49.8 percent of the vari-ance in Taiwan’s changed import volume explained by the exogenous variables. Exchange rate change and language are statistically significant.
Data on commodity groups of importance for Sweden and Taiwan are also ex-amined, and they show that Taiwan has changed its import demand and has started to import goods other than those Sweden in previous years strongly exported to Taiwan. Taiwan’s regional trading partners have also gained export shares at the expense of Swedish exports.
The results are in line with theory and it will be hard for Sweden in the future to compete with the increasing regional trade of East Asia where common lan-guage and culture are of big importance.
