Bidding For Distinction : John Wade's Gerogia Review, Anne Rittenburg

Honors Theses

Hailed today as one of the leading literary journal quarterlies in the nation, the Georgia Review is venerable on the eve of its golden anniversary. The quarterly's rich beginning bears investigation; so to understand this beginning, I have studied the man, John Donald Wade, who originated the Review and have observed firsthand through his correspondence, his pre-publication publicity, and his editorials the scope and standard he set for the quarterly. I have read of Wade's life and works in dissertations, essays written on him, and a published collection of his writings. Interviewing some of his smviving colleagues, I have gained …

Focuses on Tolkien’s narrative treatment in The Lord of the Rings and the “Ring as an emergent symbol of language itself.” Notes that through Tolkien’s “characterization of protagonists and antagonists, his use of sub-texts and ‘sub-authors,’ Tolkien demonstrates the ways in which magic and language are bound up with one another.”

A Linguistic Approach To Gender Bias In Student Evaluations Of Teachers, Paula H. Larsen

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

Few people would deny that discrimination occurs in American society today. In spite of extensive national and local legislation intended to safeguard the rights of every individual, discrimination still exists although, of necessity, it is more insidious, often to the point of invisibility to all but those directly affected by it. Many groups of people experience discrimination in their everyday lives--Blacks, Hispanics, Vietnamese, physically handicapped persons, and the elderly--to name just a few. Another segment of our society, women, also experience discrimination.

A Philosophical Investigation Of Sexual Jealousy And Jealousy In Shakespeare's Othello, Cymbeline, And The Winter's Tale, Greg P. Miner

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

Many poets, social scientists, and philosophers have tried to understand, explain, and define jealousy. The methods employed in their pursuits are as varied as the different conclusions they have given. Three of the difficulties involved in the pursuit of jealousy are: the complex nature of jealousy, the significant role jealousy plays in interpersonal relationships, and the labyrinth encountered when trying to distinguish between jealousy and envy. The most common questions asked about jealousy are: What is jealousy? and, How can jealousy be helped? This paper will focus on the question: What is jealousy? Specifically, the following questions will be answered. …

Swift, Comedy, Evidentiality, Gene Washington

English Faculty Publications

Examines the relationship between the comedy of Swift's A Tale of a Tub, the role of the speaker and satire on modern literature. The point made is that speaker reliability depends directly on the sources of "evidence" h/s presents. To clarify what this entails the author uses the linguistic notion of "evidentiality."

Metaphor, Truth And The Mobile Imagination In The Mill On The Floss, John Rignall

The George Eliot Review Online, ISSN: 2831-5375

The relationship, and conflict, between brother and sister that lies at the heart of The Mill on the Floss involves not only important differences of character and gender, but also radically different modes of thought and expression. The contrast between narrow- minded Tom and large-souled Maggie is, among other things, a contrast between different forms of knowledge and different ways of using language. For Tom, with his 'conscious rectitude of purpose' and 'narrowness of imagination and intellect', 1 knowledge is unquestioning, unhesitating, and immune to doubt. No shadow of epistemological uncertainty dims the harsh light by which he sees and …

The Journey Between: Liminality And Dialogism In Mary White Rowlandson’S Captivity Narrative, Michelle Burnham

English

In the introductory segment of her captivity narrative, before the story becomes structured into a series of "removes," Mary Rowlandson succinctly states her purpose: "that I may the better declare what happened to me during that grievous Captivity" (121). Throughout the succeeding twenty removes, this middle-aged Puritan woman-the wife of a minister and the daughter of the wealthiest original landowner in Lancaster, Massachusetts- records her experience during the eleven weeks and five days she spent as a captive among the New England Indians. Her narrative begins with the extraordinarily violent Indian attack on her home, a scene she describes with …

Supplementing The Binding Theory: On The Question Of Proper Binding, Hector A. Torres

English Language and Literature Faculty Publications

In this essay I want to propose that the phenomenon of proper binding is relevant to the theory of grammar and suggest that, if allowed to play a part in the writing of a generative grammar, proper binding can serve as an interface between the form of the grammar and its use in discourse pragmatics. With the term proper binding I refer to the prescriptive and descriptive statement requiring that anaphor and bound pronouns agree with their antecedents with respect to person, number, gender. In this vein, proper binding relates to the theory of grammar in the same way that …

Laws Of Internal Composition. Poems With… Problems!, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

For me, Florentin Smarandache’s appearance in the Romanian literature – I tell this from the beginning and with all my conviction –, is worth a real event. […] Not his character’s exoticism is interesting, nor his fabulous and dangerous “diligence,” but the excellent value of his unusual struggle-in-unknown that is becoming an Oeuvre.

Loopholes Of Resistance: Harriet Jacobs' Slave Narrative And The Critique Of Agency In Foucault, Michelle Burnham

English

Located in the exact center of Harriet Jacobs' i86r slave narrative, Incidents in the Life of a Shve Girl, is a chapter entitled "The Loophole of Retreat. " The chapter's title refers to the tiny crawlspace above her grandmother's shed, where Jacobs hides for seven years in an effort to escape her master's persecution and the "peculiar institution" of slavery which authorizes that persecution. This chapter's central location, whether the result of accident or design, would seem to suggest its structural significance within Jacobs' narrative. Yet its central location is by no means obvious, for "The Loophole of Retreat" goes …
