The Metaphors Of Retirement : Cutting Cords, Disentangling From Webs, And Heading For Pasture, Steven R. Phillips, Betsy Wackernagel Bach

Communication Studies Faculty Publications

Pondy (1983) states, "Metaphors help to organize the objective facts of the

situation in the minds of the participants" (p. 157). This investigation

sought to provide insight into how actors viewed retirement by uncovering

and analyzing metaphors associated with retirement. Differences in the

metaphors used by retirees and non retirees were also examined. Retirees

used metaphors which indicated that "Transition," "Emotion," "Freedom,"

and "Shedding Weight" are a significant part of the retirement experience.

This study suggests that metaphor analysis provides a richly varied and

salient source of information about social actors' perceptions of

organizational retirement.

A Dialogue On Communication And Theology: Theological Reflection Andcommunication, Paul A. Soukup

Communication

Theology and communication seem to go together, at least because the Church is as much in the communication business as it is in the business of reflecting on its belief. Whether the disciples go forth to proclaim the good news to all the nations, or a diocese publishes a newspaper, or an entrepreneur starts a religious cable station, the Church is unmistakably linked to communication. On the other hand, the Church's is certainly not the only wave in the sea of information in which people live. Augustine noticed that and devoted the De doctrina christiana to a theological consideration of …

Postmodernism And Anthropology, Elisabeth R. Gaines

Nebraska Anthropologist

Postmodem anthropology questions the authority of the objective participant observer, yet eludes a precise definition. Many different experimental approaches comprise the postmodern stand, and represents a diversion from interpretive anthropology. Deconstructionists peel away the layers of subjectivity from written text derived from observation. The movement presently resides in a whirlwind of conflicting opinions conceming the postmodem style of ethnography. One of these styles, inclusive of anything and everything, conveys a chaotic message, but lacks a truly holistic quality. Some postmodem critics believe the key to fundamental meaning lies in a historical perspective where the subtleties of interpretation and writing are …

Communication: The Vital Link Between The Sexes, Ruth A. Weber

Theses

Our ability to get along with the opposite sex is often directly affected by our inability to communicate. We believe we are communicating, only to realize that what we said is not what was understood. This is not the fault of any one person or sex but is a misunderstanding of the different ways women and men communicate. These differences begin in infancy and continue to thrive throughout our lives. Our culture, religion, history, language, stereotypes, sex, and other influences discussed in this study affect how and what we perceive others to be. We observe each other from our own …

What Is Development Communication?, Anura Goonasekera

Research outputs pre 2011

Development communication is often looked upon, by writers on the subject, as a tool to bring about development in less developed countries. In this sense, what is emphasised is the use of communication media for development. In a recently published Orientation and Resource Kit on Development Communication by UNESCO, Mayo and Servaes (1994) begin with the observation, that communication media are often called upon to support development programmes. They go on to state that, whereas development strategies could vary within and across countries, the communication activities associated with them are often quite similar. These activities are informing people about specific …

The Rhetoric Of Secondary Orality In Christian Homiletics: The Effects Of The Electronic Media On Preaching, Mark D. Johns

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The Rhetoric of Secondary Orality in Christian Homiletics investigates the impact of the oral nature of the electronic media on contemporary American Christian preaching. The long and intimate relationship between classical rhetoric and Christian preaching is traced, viewing rhetoric as the product of a dialectical tension between orality and literacy. Literate professional clergy have tended to preach in a text-based, logocentric style, while for most of Christianity's history, the audiences for preaching have been primarily non-literate, phonocentric people. This often resulted in sermons that did not communicate effectively with the intended audience. Only in the 18th and 19th centuries have …

The Relationship Between Intelligibility And Length And Complexity Of Language In A Group Of 4- And 5-Year-Old Children, Susan Fodell

Dissertations and Theses

Previous research has indicated that speech and linguistic variables develop concurrently. When one aspect of speech and linguistic development is delayed, there are typically associated delays in another area as well. This interactive relationship has been studied extensively in the context of phonological and syntactical development, as well as fluency and syntactical development. The relationship between intelligibility and linguistic proficiency has not been studied as extensively. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between varying levels of intelligibility and length and complexity of language in preschool-aged children. Mean length of utterance was correlated with the mean percentage …
