Massively Multiplayer Online Gamers’ Language: Argument For An M-Gamer Corpus, Papia Bawa
Massively Multiplayer Online Gamers’ Language: Argument For An M-Gamer Corpus, Papia Bawa
The Qualitative Report

Mountaineer Undergraduate Research Review
Craig Thompson’s graphic novel “Habibi” is an intricate tracing of the lines that shape and separate religion, sexuality, language, possession, and storytelling, both from one another and within their own orders. The main vein of the story runs through the depiction of the physical body as a linguistically translatable unit, and conversely, language as a corporeal entity that operates in the same complex manner as a physical being. This accurately depicts the relationship between language and the physical world outside of stories as well. The storyline is largely based on themes of possession, sexuality and the intermingling of the twoZ …

Replacing The Flawed Chevron Standard, Brian G. Slocum
Replacing The Flawed Chevron Standard, Brian G. Slocum
William & Mary Law Review
Judicial review of agency statutory interpretations depends heavily on the linguistic concept of ambiguity. Most significantly, under Chevron, judicial deference to an agency’s interpretation hinges on whether the court determines the statute to be ambiguous. Despite its importance, the ambiguity concept has been poorly developed by courts and deviates in important respects from how linguists approach ambiguity. For instance, courts conflate ambiguity identification and disambiguation and treat ambiguity as an umbrella concept that encompasses distinct forms of linguistic indeterminacy such as vagueness and generality. The resulting ambiguity standard is unpredictable and does not adequately perform its function of mediating between …
