The S-Aux-O-V-Other Syntagm In Atlantic, George Tucker Childs
The S-Aux-O-V-Other Syntagm In Atlantic, George Tucker Childs
Applied Linguistics Faculty Publications and Presentations
As the largest language phylum in the world and the most geographically widespread (Williamson & Blench 2000), Niger-Congo understandably exhibits some variation at all grammatical levels. Basic word order stands as no exception to this generalization, and there have been partisans for both an SOY and an SVO reconstructed word order. Gensler 1994 attempts to reconcile the two by claiming that neither proposal is correct; he suggests that both SOY and SVO are derived from Proto-Niger-Congo *S-AUX-O-V-Other. Because of the pattern's "quirkiness" (being found virtually nowhere else in the world) and because it is so widely attested in geographically widely …

Advertising 'The New Woman': Fashion, Beauty, And Health In Women's World, Pelin Basci
Advertising 'The New Woman': Fashion, Beauty, And Health In Women's World, Pelin Basci
World Languages and Literatures Faculty Publications and Presentations
This study aims to re-examine Women's World, (a Middle Eastern women's publication that was active between 1913 and 1921), from a gender aware, but broadly constructed, interdisciplinary perspective that integrates women's studies with studies of advertising and consumption. A feminist journal with a relatively long publication life, Women's World contained a substantial number of advertisements encouraging the consumption of modem goods and services. Many of these notices promised to address the beauty, health and fashion needs of modem women, thus constructing in effect the public image of "the new woman." of that image, in turn, should facilitate our understanding of …
1949: Year Of Decision On The Columbia River, William L. Lang
1949: Year Of Decision On The Columbia River, William L. Lang
History Faculty Publications and Presentations
Someone new to the Pacific Northwest and seeing the Columbia River for the first time could have no idea what the Great River of the West looked like before the building of the big dams. The Columbia's character and its muscle are generally hidden from view, deep in the old river channel and in the guts of machines that span the river like stair steps, from Bonneville Dam near Portland to Mica Dam at the river's far northern turn in British Columbia.
