The Frequency Of Ch /ʧ/ In Contemporary Mexican Highland Spanish, Daniel Nappo

Hipertexto

That particular sounds are characteristic of different languages is widely understood. For example, studies of Amerindian languages of the Amazon basin have discovered sounds as unique as a ―voiced, lateralized apical-alveolar/sublaminal-labial double flap with egressive lung air‖ [L,], exhibited only in Pirahã, an isolated language spoken by approximately one hundred people (Everett 92). English has an apparent proclivity for the phoneme /ʃ /, which, as Baugh and Cable point out, may be produced by twelve different spellings (14). This paper argues that the phoneme /ʧ /, represented exclusively in Spanish by the digraph ch, may be viewed as one of …

Factors Affecting The Acquisition Of Pronunciation: Culture, Motivation, And Level Of Instruction, Joshua D. Tanner

Theses and Dissertations

Studies have looked at various factors that affect pronunciation including phonetic context (e.g., Canfield 1940), style variation (e.g., Diaz-Campos 2006, Gonzales-Bueno 1995, Major 2004, Shively 2008, Zampini 1994), L1 transfer (e.g., Major 2001), and experience abroad (e.g., Diaz-Campos 2004, 2006, Lafford 2006, Stevens 2001). Motivation has been shown to affect language learning in general (Gardner 1985) but its role in pronunciation has yet to be explored. The relationship between cultural sensitivity and the acquisition of pronunciation has also been relatively understudied. The current study further explores the relationship between these variables and pronunciation. Many studies have shown that students' pronunciation …

Society, Culture and Languages Faculty Publications

Calunga is an Afro-Brazilian speech spoken primarily in and around Patrocínio, Minas Gerais, a rural town located in the western region of the state known as the Triângulo Mineiro. In the early 21st century, this Afro-Brazilian speech exists in a moribund state. The present article is an attempt to provide a basic overview regarding some of the historical, sociolinguistic, and linguistic considerations of this Afro-Brazilian speech community, and how it fits into the larger picture of the African legacy in Brazil in terms of language and culture.

Review Of Building Nineteenth-Century Latin America: Re-Rooted Cultures, Identities, And Nations, Lee Joan Skinner

CMC Faculty Publications and Research

Recent years have seen the publication of several excellent collections of essays devoted to nineteenth-century Latin American cultural studies. Works such as Beyond Imagined Communities: Reading and Writing the Nation in Nineteenth-Century Latin America, edited by Sara Castro-Klarén and John Charles Chasteen, and special numbers of journals such as Revista Iberoamericana’s issue on cultural change and periodical reading in nineteenth-century Latin America (January–March 2006), to adduce but two examples, have amplified our understanding of the complex ways in which hegemonic and nonhegemonic discourses functioned in the nineteenth century and how the divisions between elite and popular cultures were …

Enhancing Listening And Spoken Skills In Spanish Connected Speech For Anglophones, Elena Paz Vizcaya

Doctoral

Native speech is directed towards native listeners, not designed for comprehension and analysis by language learners. Speed of delivery, or economy of effort, produces a speech signal to which the native listener can assign the correct words. There are no discrete words in the speech signal itself therefore there is often a linguistic barrier in dealing with the local spoken language.
The creation, development and application of the Dynamic Spanish Speech Corpus (DSSC) facilitated an empirically-based appreciation of speaking speed and prosody as obstacles to intelligibility for learners of Spanish. “Duologues”, natural, relaxed dialogues recorded in such a manner that …

Mapa Provisonal De La Literatura Hispanoamericana De Entre Siglo (Xx-Xxi): Una Mirada Al Camino Literario Actual, Claudia Lorena Márquez-Reséndiz

Dissertations

Globalization has dramatically transformed many aspects of our life. Media and technology have advanced significantly in the last two decades. At the same time, migration has increased at an unprecedented pace. Literature reflects and expresses the social, economic, political and cultural factors that are occurring at any given time. My dissertation focuses on a novelistic production of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. This body of literature carries within a particular structure of feeling that has emerged in our global era.

In chapter one, I undertake the reading of three novels that discuss and question the concept of "national" …

The Making And Breaking Of A Language: The French And Spanish Effect Upon The Catalan Regional Language, Margaret Emilyn Cychosz

Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection

Almost four hundred years ago, the French and Spanish governments divided the Catalan border regions located between their respective countries. The subsequent centuries have seen the expansion and development of the Catalan language in Spain and the demise of the Catalan language in France, where it has nearly deteriorated to disuse. Is this a reflection upon the French and Spanish culture or was it simply governmental policy? If so, what did the central governments of Madrid and Paris do in the centuries following the division that resulted in this contrasting development of Catalan? What effect did the usage of Catalan …

Fracturando La Idea De Tabú: El Cine Español Abre Nuevos Medios De Discusión, Emily Watterberg

Scripps Senior Theses

En cada sociedad hay temas que son tratados como temas prohibidos. Muchas veces estos temas están prohibidos porque muchas personas se sienten incómodas hablando sobre ellos porque ya existe una opinión popular y parece imposible cambiarla. Estos temas son temas tabú. Cada sociedad tiene temas tabú y España no es una excepción. España, por parte de su historia y parte por el hecho que es una sociedad, tiene muchos temas que son tabú.

Aplicación De La Teoría De La Imagen A Pinturas Surrealistas Españolas Durante La Guerra Civil Española, Jordan Kirkegaard

Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection

El autor W.J.H.B. Sandberg mencionó que: "Great artists by sorne hidden direction assemble where life is most intense, where a new world is about to be born. They come together to shape a new world." Entre 1936 y 1939, las circunstancias de la vida intensa, difícil, y trágica eran frecuentes en España. Antes de 1936, España había experimentado diferentes sistemas gubernamentales y líderes políticos, de la Primera República, para el restablecimiento de Alfonso XII como rey, a la Segunda República, que comenzó en 1931. Esta Segunda República fue un gobierno más liberal que la monarquía anterior, y los gobernantes establecieron …

El Público: Surrealismo Y Metateatro Como Vías De Expresión De Un Drama Interno, Ana Garriga Espino

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

En El público, comedia imposible en palabras del propio Lorca, el autor granadino se sirve de una suerte de surrealismo herético y de un teatro autorreflexivo para llevar a escena una investigación introspectiva sobre su propia persona. Se deshace de la tiranía de la palabra e inaugura, al mismo tiempo, un nuevo teatro auténticamente vanguardista: un teatro bajo la arena, que subvertirá los roles otorgados por el teatro tradicional, de un lado, a público y actores y de otro, a realidad y ficción.

Espectaculo Y Compromiso: Estrategias Vanguardistas En César Vallejo Y Carlos Oquendo De Amat, Damaris Puñales-Alpizar

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

Jules Laforgue, Tristan Tzara, Carmelo Bene: La Vanguardia Que No Cesa, Alfredo Rodríguez López-Vázquez

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

A través del personaje de Hamlet, las vanguardias europeas han planteado audaces propuestas teatrales alejándose del texto original de Shakespeare. Exploramos en este estudio la línea que va de Laforgue a Carmelo Bene pasando por Mouchoir de Nuages de Tristan Tzara. Proponemos que la exploración del personaje con matiz decadente hecha por Laforgue y continuada por Tzara confluyen en Carmelo Bene.

Leyendo Al Incoherente Jules Lévy, Victor Lope Salvador

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

El presente trabajo es un estudio de un texto que puede ser considerado como un manifiesto de la incoherencia publicado por Jules Lévy en 1885. El método empleado es el del análisis textual promovido por Jesús González Requena consistente en el detallado deletreamiento del escrito. A partir del análisis podemos considerar la incoherencia como un movimiento con rasgos tanto del romanticismo como de la vanguardia.
