Departure From Magical Realism: Female Agency In Latin American Post-Boom Literature, Nicole Darian Llacza Morazzani Jan 2024

Departure From Magical Realism: Female Agency In Latin American Post-Boom Literature, Nicole Darian Llacza Morazzani

Honors Theses

his thesis explores depictions of female agency in post-colonial Latin American literature. I highlight three primary texts: Gabriel García Márquez's (1927-2014) 1967 One Hundred Years of Solitude, a canonical magical realist novel; Isabel Allende's (1942-present) 1982 The House of Spirits, her debut novel and a multi-generational story similar to Márquez's, and Isabel Allende's 2022 Violeta, a historical novel offering an autodiegetic narrative of a woman's 100 years of life in an unnamed South American country, to analyze how female characters evolve in response to changing sociopolitical landscapes and literary movements in Latin America. My central focus is Allende's most recent …


Research Bibliography For Philippine English (2008–2023), Kingsley Bolton, Priscilla T. Cruz, Isabel P. Martin Jan 2024

Research Bibliography For Philippine English (2008–2023), Kingsley Bolton, Priscilla T. Cruz, Isabel P. Martin

English Faculty Publications

The research bibliography presented here is intended to complement the earlier research bibliographies from Bautista on Philippine English (Bautista, 2004; Bautista & Bolton, 2008a). It includes 11 sections dealing with book-length studies of Philippine English, as well as book chapters and journal articles on such topics as code-switching, code-mixing and linguistic hybridization; critical linguistics; discourse analysis; language attitudes and intelligibility; sociolinguistic description; language policies; multilingualism and multilingual education; Philippine literature in English; Philippine English features; and summative perspectives. While the bibliography is essentially contemporary in orientation, this article also emphasizes the foundational contributions of earlier scholars in the field.


L1 Thai Learners’ Sensitivity To The Form-Meaning Link Between English Negative Word Pairs Containing Un- And Dis- Prefix Variation, Natcha Limpapattana Jan 2024

L1 Thai Learners’ Sensitivity To The Form-Meaning Link Between English Negative Word Pairs Containing Un- And Dis- Prefix Variation, Natcha Limpapattana

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

English negative prefix variation occurs when different negative prefixes get paired with the same base, hence deriving word pairs (e.g. un/dis-armed). Amidst the blurry consensus on their meaning difference, cognitive semantics (CS), the approach to studying meaning that highlights the mind-context interaction, provides a systematic explanation. Each word is born from its own context-based conceptualization. Different prefixes highlight different facets of the same base, resulting in different meanings (Hamawand, 2009). However, due to their similar appearance (negative prefix + same base), one interesting question arises: Will L2 English learners recognize these nuanced differences? Therefore, the present study investigated L1 Thai …


Linear Distance, Agreement Attraction, And Working Memory Effects On L1 Thai Learners' Processing Of L2 English Third-Person Singular Subject-Verb Agreement, Montira Berteau Jan 2024

Linear Distance, Agreement Attraction, And Working Memory Effects On L1 Thai Learners' Processing Of L2 English Third-Person Singular Subject-Verb Agreement, Montira Berteau

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

In the realm of second language (L2) processing, agreement processing has continued to attract a considerable amount of attention in the field (e.g., Jiang, 2004; Keating, 2009; Lim & Christianson, 2015). A wide range of factors have been speculated to modulate L2 agreement processing, including first-language (L1) influence, L2 proficiency, long-distance agreement/dependencies (LDDs), agreement attraction, working memory (WM), among others. The present study was carried out to investigate three of these modulating factors, including long-distance agreement, agreement attraction, and WM capacity, on L2 agreement processing of L1 Thai learners. According to Hypothesis 1, linear distance would increase a level of …

Discursive Practices In Recurring Asynchronous Writing Center Consultations, Olalekan T. Adepoju Jan 2024

Discursive Practices In Recurring Asynchronous Writing Center Consultations, Olalekan T. Adepoju

The Writing Center Journal

This study explores the discursive practices the researcher utilizes during recurring asynchronous writing consultations to engender mutually adjusted and context-driven interactions meaningful to writers’ development during virtual tutoring. While earlier studies have critiqued asynchronous tutoring for its inability to efficiently promote the writing center philosophy, the inevitability of writing centers’ transition to online modes due to the global COVID-19 pandemic warrants that writing center scholarship rethink the effectiveness of these online spaces. This study utilizes a discourse-analytic approach to analyze textual data collected from both WCONLINE and drafts I, the tutor, worked on. Individual interviews are also collected to ascertain …


The Nebulous Binaries Of C.S. Lewis' Till We Have Faces, Amantia Menalla Jan 2024

The Nebulous Binaries Of C.S. Lewis' Till We Have Faces, Amantia Menalla

Honors Undergraduate Theses

Much of C.S. Lewis’ novel Till We Have Faces can be examined through one of two binaries. The tension between rationality, or reason, and spirituality, or religion, is one of the core facets of both the text and its main character, Orual. Orual feels the pull of both ideas and thus spends most of the novel in a nebulous space between them. This tension is further complicated by the space between the feminine and the masculine which she also inhabits. By covering her face and body, Orual de-emphasizes her feminine identity and takes on a masculine role, dressing as a …

This assignment description outlines how to use the novel, Home of the Brave by Katherine Applegate, as a case study to contextualize and understand the lived story of an individual learning a second language and living in a new country. Through the novel, preservice teachers experience …


Complexities Of The Underrecognized: Conceptualizing Erasure And Exposure In Queer Caribbean Narratives, Noemi Saladin Jan 2024

Complexities Of The Underrecognized: Conceptualizing Erasure And Exposure In Queer Caribbean Narratives, Noemi Saladin

Dissertations and Theses

Queer is not explicitly about homosexuality, it is questioning orientations, identity, and the binary. This work aims to explore the multivalence of erasure and exposure in queer Caribbean narratives, which deconstructs or reconstructs stereotypes, sexuality, and identity. Erasure is defined as the exclusion or suppression of a member of the LGBTQ+ community in history and the present time due to differences in their gender orientation, sexuality, and sexual preference. Exposure allows these suppressed voices to be lifted and rejoiced through inclusivity and awareness. Colonization erased gender diversity in the Caribbean, instilling their Christianity and heteronormative beliefs. Colonization did not only …

After The Collapse: Herman Melville’S And Friedrich Nietzsche's Existentialism, Ryan L. Smith Jan 2024

After The Collapse: Herman Melville’S And Friedrich Nietzsche's Existentialism, Ryan L. Smith

Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

This dissertation compares the works of Herman Melville and Friedrich Nietzsche. Melville and Nietzsche articulate similar arguments about the collapse of Christian metaphysics as a traditional philosophical system. Both authors recognize the moral, intellectual, and spiritual void this collapse revealed, and they craft similar texts that illustrate humanity’s emotional turmoil facing the abyss. In addition to these scenes of upheaval, Melville and Nietzsche promote the importance of the individual’s will to overcome the possible fall into psychological nihilism resulting from recognizing the emptiness of traditional religion’s teachings. Melville’s and Nietzsche’s striving against complete despair in the wake of this collapse …


Foreign Expert: A Memoir Manuscript, Jenny L. Rowe Jan 2024

Foreign Expert: A Memoir Manuscript, Jenny L. Rowe

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

This is a full memoir manuscript that I wrote for my MFA thesis, which is tentatively titled Foreign Expert. In this manuscript, we follow myself as narrator as I struggle to adapt to life in Beijing (prior to the pandemic) while also recovering from a recent divorce. The man I’d been married to for five years back in Iowa had become violently mentally ill, and though I’d been fortunate enough to remove myself from him, I quickly learned that being a foreign expert in China—my residential visa title—required more work than basic survival. By the end of my two years …


Senegambia And The American South: Where Identity Belongs, Malika David Jan 2024

Senegambia And The American South: Where Identity Belongs, Malika David

Master's Theses

When you think of identity, what is the first thing that comes to mind? While I knew the dictionary definition, the actual meaning of identity remained unclear to me. I couldn't quite grasp the concept or how it related to me. That changed when I visited my mother’s homeland of Senegambia in December 2022. There was always a hunch that identity was connected to a sense of belonging and self-discovery, and I was surprised to realize how similar Senegambian. culture. was to my own southern upbringing. Ultimately, that provided a lot of curiosity and shaped my perspective on identity and …


Investigating Interlanguages Of English Gerund And Infinitive Verb Complements By L1 Chinese Learners In Taiwan, Chih Ying Chou Jan 2024

Investigating Interlanguages Of English Gerund And Infinitive Verb Complements By L1 Chinese Learners In Taiwan, Chih Ying Chou

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This study investigated the challenges faced by L1 Chinese learners in Taiwan in mastering English gerund and infinitive verb complements. Using the Interlanguage Hypothesis (Selinker, 1972) as a theoretical framework, the study explored how interlanguage factors - such as language transfer, overgeneralization, and transfer of training - affected these learners’ use of gerunds and infinitive verb complements. The research examined Taiwanese learners’ production and comprehension of English gerund and infinitive verb complements on Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) and Grammaticality Judgment Tests (GJT), respectively, by learners of different proficiency levels, i.e., average and high proficiency learners. Results revealed that learners frequently …


Investigating The Language Challenges And Pedagogical Reasoning Of Thai Medical Teachers In English-Medium Instruction (Emi) Classrooms, Teaka Sowaprux Jan 2024

Investigating The Language Challenges And Pedagogical Reasoning Of Thai Medical Teachers In English-Medium Instruction (Emi) Classrooms, Teaka Sowaprux

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This dissertation investigates the language challenges faced by English-medium instruction (EMI) medical teachers in multilingual classrooms and examines how their pedagogical reasoning influences the use of classroom language to convey complex medical content. As EMI continues to expand globally, particularly in higher education, content teachers initially hired to teach in their home language are increasingly being recruited to teach academic subjects through English. While existing research has explored language challenges in EMI science classrooms (Gustafsson, 2020; Pun, Fu, & Cheung, 2023), there is limited understanding of how medical teachers adapt their teaching strategies in response to these challenges. This study …
