Prosodic Rhythm And African American English, Erik R. Thomas, Phillip M. Carter Dec 2005

Prosodic Rhythm And African American English, Erik R. Thomas, Phillip M. Carter

Phillip M. Carter

Prosodic rhythm was measured for a sample of 20 African American and 20 European American speakers from North Carolina using the metric devised by Low, Grabe, and Nolan (2000), which involves comparisons of the durations of vowels in adjacent syllables. In order to gain historical perspective, the same technique was applied to the ex-slave recordings described in Bailey, Maynor, and Cukor-Avila (1991) and to recordings of five Southern European Americans born before the Civil War. In addition, Jamaicans, Hispanics of Mexican origin who spoke English as their L2, and Hispanics speaking Spanish served as control groups. Results showed that the …

Language And Culture (Spring 2006 Syllabus), Adam Hodges Dec 2005

Language And Culture (Spring 2006 Syllabus), Adam Hodges

Adam Hodges

Language is a primary cultural tool used in all human societies. Through the use of language, we interact socially, interpret our surroundings, set up relations and establish shared meanings. Language use creates public space and places items into that space for consideration. In short, there is no such thing as non-social language; language itself is fundamentally a social activity integrally linked with cultural systems and social practice. In this course, we will examine this intersection of language and culture in an effort to understand how language and culture derive from, shape, and influence each other.

Questions we will consider include …

Ships Among Ports: Futures Of Europe, Kirk W. Junker Dec 2005

Ships Among Ports: Futures Of Europe, Kirk W. Junker

Kirk W Junker

The future is evitable. That is to say if, as many of the contributors to Futures over the years have claimed, there is more than one future possible, and that more than one will be experienced, then talking about ‘inevitability’ is simply wrong. And what a task it is to attempt to say anything warranted, but nevertheless fresh concerning the futures of Europe—especially in such a context as considering the plural conception of futures in the title of this publication! Immediately after the member states of the Union failed to agree the draft treaty on European Constitution at the Intergovernmental …
