Machado De Assis: Uma Nova Leitura Através Das Lentes Do Corpus Lingu?Stico, Liege Christiane Pradera 2014 Brigham Young University - Provo

Machado De Assis: Uma Nova Leitura Através Das Lentes Do Corpus Lingu?Stico, Liege Christiane Pradera

Theses and Dissertations

O presente estudo analisa dados obtidos através da pesquisa por meio do corpus linguístico que provam estatisticamente o estilo adotado por Machado de Assis. Através da frequência de palavras-chave, escolhas léxicas mais significativas de cada romance e de alguns contos, esse estudo analisou a forma do romancista em criticar a sociedade oitocentista do Rio de Janeiro. Os resultados mostraram a disposição do autor de censurar o cientificismo do século XIX, os anseios e desejos da burguesia, assim como os conflitos da alma humana e a problemática dos relacionamentos da sociedade carioca. Por meio dos dados obtidos, há uma observação do …


Acquisition Of L2 Phonology: An Acoustic Analysis Of The Centralization Of L2 Spanish /A/ In Adult L1 English-Speaking Learners, Alexander Charles Aldrich 2014 Brigham Young University - Provo

Acquisition Of L2 Phonology: An Acoustic Analysis Of The Centralization Of L2 Spanish /A/ In Adult L1 English-Speaking Learners, Alexander Charles Aldrich

Theses and Dissertations

Although many studies have been carried out regarding the acquisition of Spanish as a second language, very few have focused on the acquisition of Spanish vowels. Studies that have compared the L2 production of Spanish vowels in learners who have spent an extensive time living abroad versus at home learners are scarce at best. The present study hopes to add to the literature by comparing the L2 pronunciation of the Spanish /a/ in these two groups using an acoustic analysis with the aid of speech-signal processing software and the inclusion of a native group for comparison. In addition, it hopes …


La Recuperación Del Sujeto A Través De Los Personajes Femeninos En Tres Novelas Españolas Contemporáneas Escritas Por Mujeres, Paloma Pérez Valdés 2014 Technological University Dublin

La Recuperación Del Sujeto A Través De Los Personajes Femeninos En Tres Novelas Españolas Contemporáneas Escritas Por Mujeres, Paloma Pérez Valdés

Conference Papers

Mi presentación analiza la recuperación del sujeto en tres novelas españolas contemporáneas escritas por mujeres, Queda la noche de Soledad Puértolas, Azul de Rosa Regàs y Nubosidad variable de Carmen Martín Gaite. Debido a las prácticas modernistas en las que se presenta la esencia de un ser cuyos rasgos ya no aparecen como persistentes sino como cambiantes nace el personaje moderno y a continuación la tan cuestionada muerte del sujeto. Desde entonces han sido muchos los intentos de recuperación del sujeto y de alguna manera se han agotado las vías. No obstante, en la literatura contemporánea española se observan nuevas …

Guatemalan Spanish As Act Of Identity: An Analysis Of Language And Minor Literature Within Modern Maya Literary Production, Kenneth Yanes 2014 CUNY Graduate Center

Guatemalan Spanish As Act Of Identity: An Analysis Of Language And Minor Literature Within Modern Maya Literary Production, Kenneth Yanes

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

My study approaches the use of Guatemalan Spanish in modern Maya literary works through a theoretical framework drawn on theories of "purity" and mestizaje, the concept of minor literature, and "image" and ideology of language. I problematize the "major"/"minor" dichotomy of language based on a Eurocentric view of the dominance of national languages as the extremely diverse linguistic ecology of Latin American lends itself to the deterritorialization of hegemonic discourse, but without sustaining a neat categorization of language. Guatemalan Spanish is a heavily Maya-inflected interlanguage share by all Guatemalans. Mayan writers chose purposefully to counter the ladino ethnocentrism of the …

A Study On What Factors Influence Teachers To Remain In The Teaching Profession, Louis S. Jensen Jr.

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine the employment factors that schools have control over and how teachers and administrators perceive these factors to have the most effect in influencing teachers to remain in the profession. This study was conducted by administering a survey to public school building administrators and public school teachers in Indiana. Teachers’ and administrators’ perceptions were measured on what reasons a teacher (hypothetically) might leave the profession. A total of 2,219 teachers and 208 building administrators submitted complete responses to the Teacher Retention Survey. The Teacher Retention Survey was developed by this researcher to quantitatively …


El Presidente Está Enfermo ¿Qué Tendrá El Presidente?: La Enfermedad Y Sus Metáforas En El Discurso De Hugo Chávez Frías, Yanira B. Paz 2014 University of Kentucky

El Presidente Está Enfermo ¿Qué Tendrá El Presidente?: La Enfermedad Y Sus Metáforas En El Discurso De Hugo Chávez Frías, Yanira B. Paz

Hispanic Studies Faculty Publications

El propósito de este estudio es analizar, desde la perspectiva del análisis crítico del discurso (ACD) , el proceso de producción discursiva sobre el tratamiento metafórico de la enfermedad del presidente Hugo Chávez en tres de las alocuciones ocurridas durante los dos últimos años de su enfermedad. Dicho proceso tendía a ocultar el hecho innegable de una enfermedad terminal con el fin evidente de obtener una inmediata reelección, designar un sucesor y asegurar la supervivencia del proyecto bolivariano. También se indagará sobre el intercambio de papeles entre narrador, interlocutor y personaje que asume el emisor con el fin de persuadir …
