My Father’S Name: A Study Of Patronymic Naming In Mozambique, Preston Christensen, Cynthia Hallen Feb 2016

My Father’S Name: A Study Of Patronymic Naming In Mozambique, Preston Christensen, Cynthia Hallen

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Patronymic naming is very common in parts of Mozambique but there has possibly been no formal documentation of this practice prior to this study. Patronymic naming involves the passing of the father’s name to the children and is not to be confused with patronymic surnames. The research was conducted in the City of Quelimane, Mozambique and consisted of two parts, quantitative and qualitative.


Study Of Dialect Contact And Formation: A Case Study Of Glottal-Initial Verbs In Amman, Jordan, Chase Adams, Kirk Belnap Feb 2016

Study Of Dialect Contact And Formation: A Case Study Of Glottal-Initial Verbs In Amman, Jordan, Chase Adams, Kirk Belnap

Journal of Undergraduate Research

In tandem with Al-Wer’s ongoing Amman Project which discusses the dialect contact and potential for dialect formation in Amman, Jordan, this study seeks to understand the variance of conjugation patterns of the glottal-initial verbs ‘akal ‘to eat’ and ‘axad ‘to take’ based on the ethnic background and generational identity of the individual speaker. This study seeks to isolate a pattern of linguistic focusing and identity formation in third-generation Ammani youth vis-à-vis the phonetic shape (±Yod; /a:/, /o:/) in glottal-initial verbs which could corroborate Al-Wehr’s assertion that there is a new emerging vernacular as opposed to stable variation.


Word Borrowing In Riograndenser Hunsrückisch, Trenton Hyer, Dirk Elzinga Feb 2016

Word Borrowing In Riograndenser Hunsrückisch, Trenton Hyer, Dirk Elzinga

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The objective of this project is to document word borrowing in Riograndenser Hunsrückisch, an understudied variety of German spoken in southern Brazil. UNESCO’s The Red Book of Endangered Languages listed Riograndenser Hunsrückisch as an endangered language in 1992, but linguists have written very little about it since.

Patient-Provider Interactions In Health Care: Use Of And Attitudes Towards Multilingual Communications, Kyle Baird, Laura Smith Feb 2016

Patient-Provider Interactions In Health Care: Use Of And Attitudes Towards Multilingual Communications, Kyle Baird, Laura Smith

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Previous research has examined the provider-patient relationship and the effect of different first languages and culture on such relationship (1,2,3). Most studies conducted in the United States have focused primarily on the interactions between English-speaking health care providers and Spanish-speaking patients. Such studies found a relationship between quality of communication and quality of care received by patients, (2,3). When the patient is minimally proficient in English the divide increases and patients receive less information. Similarly, the provider’s proficiency in the patient’s language correlates with the quality of communication and care. The purpose of this study was to investigate a broader …


A Quichua Video Dictionary: The Sight And Sound Of Ideophones, Diana Shelton (Née Sun), Janis Nuckolls Feb 2016

A Quichua Video Dictionary: The Sight And Sound Of Ideophones, Diana Shelton (Née Sun), Janis Nuckolls

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Quichua is a branch of Quechua, a group of indigenous South American languages, which is found in Amazonian Ecuador. This language utilizes a type of adverb, called ideophones, which symbolizes sound, motion, and other sensations. Ideophones are often foregrounded with speaker movements and intonation and are therefore difficult to represent in written documentation. Our project aimed to create a video dictionary of Quichua ideophones as a valuable resource for language learners as well as future researchers of ideophones by using various media to demonstrate ideophones’ uses and contexts in reality.


Reexamining Creation: Understanding The Relationship Between The Qal And Piel Uses Of ברא, Juan Pinto, David Seely Feb 2016

Reexamining Creation: Understanding The Relationship Between The Qal And Piel Uses Of ברא, Juan Pinto, David Seely

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The first chapter of Genesis begins with two Hebrew words that have been the focus of much debate among biblical scholars. The second word, ברא , most often translated as created, has a history and nuanced meaning that has proven particularly difficult to pin down. Though it is clear that this verb refers to the act of creation, other places where the same root shows up—and the different meanings given to those other attestations— indicate a subtle connotation in Genesis with a complicated history. A clear, allencompassing etymology for the root has proven elusive.

The Italian Swiss Dna, Tony Quinn Feb 2016

The Italian Swiss Dna, Tony Quinn

Swiss American Historical Society Review

DNA testing is the new frontier in genealogical research. While the paper records of American and European churches and civil bodies are now generally available on line, DNA opens a new avenue of research into the period well before the advent of written records. And it is allowing people to make connections heretofore impossible to make.


The Meaning Behind A Child Saying, “Let’S Play!”, Brandon Clifford, Larry Nelson Feb 2016

The Meaning Behind A Child Saying, “Let’S Play!”, Brandon Clifford, Larry Nelson

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Social withdrawal functions as an umbrella term capturing various types of withdrawn behavior in children (Coplan & Rubin, 2010). Past research has defined more specific types of withdrawal using various approaches including observed play behaviors (Coplan, et al., 1994). To illustrate, reticent children (a form of withdrawal) primarily engage in onlooking and unoccupied behavior while solitary-passive children engage in solitary constructive and exploratory behavior. Although this deductive step furthers the social withdrawal research in describing the characteristics and behaviors of children, the language skills of these distinct groups requires further investigation.


A Model Of Children's Acquisition Of Grammatical Word Categories From Adult Language Input Using An Adaption And Selection Algorithm, Emily Marie Berardi Feb 2016

A Model Of Children's Acquisition Of Grammatical Word Categories From Adult Language Input Using An Adaption And Selection Algorithm, Emily Marie Berardi

Theses and Dissertations

Previous models of language acquisition have had partial success describing the processes that children use to acquire knowledge of the grammatical categories of their native language. The present study used a computer model based on the evolutionary principles of adaptation and selection to gain further insight into children's acquisition of grammatical categories. Transcribed language samples of eight parents or caregivers each conversing with their own child served as the input corpora for the model. The model was tested on each child's language corpus three times: two fixed mutation rates as well as a progressively decreasing mutation rate, which allowed less …
