Deprivation Or Intimidation:A Study Of Social Influences On Children's Verbality., James Lewis Craig

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The deficit approach to the verbal abilities of poor children has attempted to show that the verbal acuity of these children is extremely low or nonexistent, and that this disadvantage is a direct result of factors residing within the poor child and his environment. In response to this, current research has indicated that poor children tend to develop dual registers of responsiveness: one essentially nonverbal and/or nonsensical for use in threaten­ing, authority-directed situations (asymmetrical), and one highly verbal and articulate for use in nonthreatening, informal situations (symmetrical). It is the contention of this investigation that data collection for the deficit …

Bilingual Bicultural Educational Civil Rights:The May 25th Memorandum And Oppressive School Practices., James V. Gambone

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

This dissertation presents an interdisciplinary approach to the area of educational civil rights and bilingual/bicultural education.

Chapter 1 provides a compilation of legal precedents that can be used in challenging existing oppressive school practices. The second chapter deals more specifically with the reality of oppression. Words and formulations in Washington take on new dimensions when they reach Beeville, Texas. The third chapter examines the goals and definitions of current bilingual/bicultural programs. There is the strong suggestion that these programs will continue to be ineffective as long as they remain within the definitional framework established by the oppressor. The fourth chapter …

Navajo Verb Prefix Phonology, James M. Kari

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The structure of the verb prefix system in the Navajo verb is clarified by a thorough generative phonological analysis of the morphophonemic alternations in the prefix complex. The intricate modal prefix alternations are presented in detail. Initially, an important internal boundary in the verb, the disjunct boundary, is demonstrated. The disjunct boundary is central to the formulation of a number of common phonological rules such as ni-absorption and vowel deletion, and it provides the organizing principle for a full structural statement of the mode system. A discussion of several pervasive, non-mode dependent phonological rules precedes the analysis of the verb …

Child Language: Topicalization And Nominal-Pronominal Reduplication As A Function Of Language Universals, Language Development, And Language Situation, Eleanor Greet Cotton

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Nominal-pronominal reduplication, a frequently mentioned but seldom studied linguistic phenomenon often associated with lower class and minority group speech, is in actuality not a rarity but quite common in language worldwide. This phenomenon, exemplified by structures such as "My brother, he plays football" and "He plays football, my brother," exists in child language as a function of language universals, language development, and language situation. One of the relevant language universals, that of the process of topicalization, requires analysis beyond the sentence level and is commonly referred to as a speaker's choosing a topic of discourse and then commenting upon this …

Ghost Dances, Disillusionment And Opiate Addiction: An Ethnohistory Of Smith And Mason Valley Paiutes., Michael Hittman

Anthropology ETDs

Studies of American Indian acculturation have completely ignored the phenomenon op opiate addiction. Between 1896 and 1934, Northern Paiutes living in Smith and Mason Valleys (Nevada)—the Tovusidokado—were addicted to yen shee and then morphine. Opiate addiction began four years after the end of the 1890 Ghost Dance, a religious movement originated by Jack Wilson in Mason Valley in 1888. Twenty years earlier, Smith and Mason Valley Paiutes participated in the 1870 Ghost Dance, a religious movement originated by Wodziwob in 1869 in nearby Walker Lake Valley. The dissertation is a study of Smith and Mason Valley Paiute acculturation which focuses …

The Development And Preliminary Testing Of A Theoretical Spanish Language Instructional Model For Bilingual Education, George A. GonzáLez

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The Problem

The education of the Spanish-speaking Mexican-American child has been the concern of educators and governmental agencies due to his limited knowledge of the English language, low achievement in the subject areas, negative self-concept, and generally slower educational progress in the schools. Bilingual education has been implemented as one alternative in seeking to improve educational opportunities for this minority ethnic group. The preparation of bilingual classroom teachers to impart instruction through the Spanish language - a language in which the majority of these practicing or potential teachers have not received formal professional training - has posed several problems. A …

Sacred-Secular Complementarity In Al Filo Del Agua And Pedro Paramo: An Inquiry Into Mythmaking, Floyd F. Merrell

Latin American Studies ETDs

Structuralism is the methodological approach employed in this study of two contemporary Mexican novels. The technique, including logico-mathematical relationships, schemata, and terminology, consists generally of an adaptation of Claude Lévi-Strauss' structural studies in anthropology and particularly in his interpretation of myth. The "deep-structure-surface-structure" dichotomization, a fundamental methodological premise we have adopted, is from Noam Chomsky by way of Ferdinand de Saussure's theory of linguistics. And the notion of "equilibrium," a dynamic interplay allowing for a genetic, developmental approach to structuralism, has been borrowed from the psychologist Jean Piaget.

Our initial objective was to formulate eclectically a method of structural analysis. …

Problems Of Assessing Bilingualism In Children Entering School., John Wesley Hollomon

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Recently, much emphasis has been placed on bilingual education, but little has been placed on the problems inherent in the assessment of the bilingual communicative competence of children at the time they enter school. It was often assumed that, because a Spanish surnamed child came from a home in which either or both parents spoke to him in Spanish, he entered school speaking both Spanish and English, perhaps, more Spanish than English. Since the causes and effects of bilingual schooling are to be found outside the school, it was important to take these into consideration. The extent to which the …

The Movement Towards Freedom In Paul Goodman's The Empire City., Eliot Glassheim

English Language and Literature ETDs

The dissertation presents The Empire City as an outline of what freedom meant in the 1930-1960 era. Within the context of an increasingly deadening Empire, the characters shed their false assumptions and wrong habits, carve out some free space for themselves, and begin to perform free acts.

Chapter one discusses four components of free acts. Chapter two presents three traditions of thought which define Goodman's idea of freedom--Anarchist politics, Gestalt psychology, and Taoist metaphysics. Chapter three is an overview of the novel as a journey towards freedom.

The fourth chapter follows the developing idea of what politics should mean to …

Berlin Historians And German Politics, Charles E. Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

By the dawn of the twentieth century, German historians, like "the German academic community as a whole, had fallen into the role of a vaguely conservative and decidedly official establishment." The last third of the nineteenth century had seen the triumph of Prussia over the academic world as well as the political communities of the German lands, with the cultural policy and impulses of Berlin deeply influencing the direction of German historiography and political thought. This influence took the form of an accommodation of power and idealism rather than a purge of the universities, which were the undisputed home of …
