An Ecological View Of Language Choice In A Bilingual Program: A Dynamic Model Of Social Structures, Katherine Christoffersen
An Ecological View Of Language Choice In A Bilingual Program: A Dynamic Model Of Social Structures, Katherine Christoffersen
Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations
The present paper proposes a Dynamic Model of Social Structures as a model of language choice which highlights and synthesizes two significant themes repeated throughout the history of language choice research: agency and function. This model stems from ecological frameworks advanced in the fields of language planning (Hornberger, 2002) and language learning (Lam, 2007). Central to the model is the notion of language as a social structure (Gafaranga, 2005) among infinite other social structures (e.g., broader society, social network, local context, and individual linguistic behaviors). The Dynamic Model of Social Structures integrates the concept of agency and function in demonstrating …
Translating To Communicate With Linguistic Minorities: State Obligations Under International Law, Gabriel Gonzalez Nunez
Translating To Communicate With Linguistic Minorities: State Obligations Under International Law, Gabriel Gonzalez Nunez
Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations
In the on-going debate about language rights, the role of translation remains somewhat of a blind spot. And yet, because there are very few truly monolingual societies in the world, any language policy implies a translation policy. Translation policies will vary from place to place, and they are often the result of ad hoc choices by policy makers at the local level. Even so, by looking at international law, we can find a sort of lowest common denominator for what is to be expected of translation policies. Sources of international law that can have an effect in shaping domestic policies …

Miguel Hernández, Lacan Y La Búsqueda Del Yo Poético, Jose M. Davila-Montes
Miguel Hernández, Lacan Y La Búsqueda Del Yo Poético, Jose M. Davila-Montes
Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations
La obra del poeta español Miguel Hernández (1910-1942) se estudia a menudo bajo la marcada influencia de su impactante biografía. Este artículo propone un análisis del yo poético de este autor mediante el sometimiento de algunos de sus poemas «marginales» al constructo psicoanalítico de Jacques Lacan (1901-1981). Así, se intenta someter a escrutinio la constitución del yo poético del autor mediante la selección de un número reducido, mas representativo, de conceptos lacanianos y la aplicación de éstos a una serie de poemas que no suelen considerarse «capitales» en la producción de hernandiana, todo ello bajo el principio psicoanalítico de la …

Traducción Y Herencia, Jose M. Davila-Montes

Salvo que la ensefianza de lenguas extranjeras en el sistema escolar estadounidense cambie de forma radical ( cosa que no parece previsible en los pr6ximos afios ), es razonable pensar que el estudiante prototipico de traducci6n entre las lenguas inglesa y espafiola en este pais sea, por abrumadora superioridad estadistica, el denominado heritage student. Nos referimos con esto a las segundas generaciones de inmigrantes hispanohablantes que, segun adquieren acceso a la educaci6n universitaria, proporcionan una de las pocas oportunidades para que la ensefianza de la traducci6n tenga lugar en un estadio anterior al ciclo de postgrado ( que es donde …

La Transformación De La Visión De John Quincy Adams Sobre Mexico, Lyon Rathbun
Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations
En este artículo se analiza la actitud cambiante frente a Mexico de John Quincy Adams, de ser el primer arquitecto de la expansion territorial de Estados Unidos en la epoca nacional temprana hasta convertirse en ardiente defensor de la integridad territorial de Mexico en los años treinta. El autor se plantea también la siguiente pregunta: ~Que nos dice la transformación de John Quincy Adams sobre las relaciones mas amplias entre Estados Unidos y Mexico? El trabajo muestra como, durante la segunda década del siglo XJX, en la búsqueda de autosuficiencia y ampliación territorial de Estados Unidos, Adams valoraba poco el …

Attitudes Toward Spanish Language Maintenance Or Shift (Lmls) In The Lower Rio Grande Valley Of South Texas, Hugo A. Macias, Pamela L. Anderson, Ralph Carlson
Attitudes Toward Spanish Language Maintenance Or Shift (Lmls) In The Lower Rio Grande Valley Of South Texas, Hugo A. Macias, Pamela L. Anderson, Ralph Carlson
Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations
This article considers attitudes among Spanish/English bilinguals of the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas toward Spanish language maintenance or language shift to English. The investigation was undertaken to replicate and compare results with similar data collected in 1982. Since the area has changed socially in the intervening years and is now the third-fastest-growing metropolitan-suburban area in the United States. it seems prudent to reconsider the sociolinguistic attitude changes that may also have occurred. Data collection. sampling. the indices. and the analysis of the 1982 study were replicated as nearly as possible for the present study. Results of the analysis …
The Debate Over Annexing Texas And The Emergence Of Manifest Destiny, Lyon Rathbun
The Debate Over Annexing Texas And The Emergence Of Manifest Destiny, Lyon Rathbun
Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations
Scholars have long understood that the ideology of manifest destiny congealed out of the millennial ideals embedded in American culture. However, they have not fully appreciated that manifest destiny only became a national ideology by overwhelming the arguments that were first voiced during the Monroe administration to resist the incorporation of Texas into the Union. Understanding how the secular ideals of the classical republican tradition were used to resist the inclusion of Texas can help us understand the crystallization of manifest destiny into a theologized ideology in the 1840s.
The Ciceronian Rhetoric Of John Quincy Adams, Lyon Rathbun
The Ciceronian Rhetoric Of John Quincy Adams, Lyon Rathbun
Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations
This article examines the way in which the classical rhetorical tradition inspired John Quincy Adams's public life. While rhetorical scholars have probed Adams's role as Harvard's first Boylston Professor of Rhetoric, they have not appreciated how the classical tradition in general, and Ciceronian rhetoric in particular, influenced his political career. Social scientists, on the other hand, have studied Adams's impact on Antebellum America but have not appreciated how his life-long devotion to classical rhetoric shaped his response to public issues. John Quincy Adams remained inspired by classical rhetorical ideals long after the neo-classicalism and deferential politics of the founding generation …
