The Aesthetics Of Juan Carlos Onetti's Novel., Djelal Kadir Ii

American Studies ETDs

The novelistic genre within the contemporary scene of world literature is clearly under the aegis of today's Latin American writers.

In the rise of the contemporary Latin American novel, Juan Carlos Onetti is a key figure, if not the key figure as the Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa claims. With Onetti, reality and a vision o( the world which comprise fiction are subjected to a consciously derived system of aesthetics for the first time in Latin America. The focus of this study is the nature of Onetti's aesthetics. Its scope attempts to some extent to see Onetti in the light …

The Meanings And The Distribution Of The Perfect In Present-Day American English Writing, Betty Lou Dubois

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

A search of the relevant literature and of textbooks of English for speakers of other languages fails to turn up a theory of the English perfect which is both comprehensive and fully explanatory. The author hypothesizes that the meaning common to all forms of the perfect of American English, which includes those forms traditionally called the present perfect tense, the past perfect tense, and the perfect of the infinitive, the gerund, and the present participle is priority to a point of reference. The perfect situates the action or state conveyed by the lexical verb in a period of time which …

Some Aspects Of Navajo Orthography, Wayne Stanley Holm

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Navajo has been written, in various forms, for more than a century, but practical orthographies have been available for less than fifty years.

Navajo literacy programs have been conducted in the past by various interest groups, but the current effort differs from its predecessors in that it has the support of a growing number of young Navajo educators. Vowel length, tone, ar1id nasality are phonemic in Navajo. The current practical orthography makes use of doubled vowels to mark length, an acute accent to mark high tone, and a cedilla or "nasal hook" to mark nasality. The orthography makes it fairly …

The Role Of Metaphor In Cognition:Self-Reference, Iconicity, And Simple Natures., Charles Jessup Harriman

Philosophy ETDs

Since Aristotle's time a close connection has been recognized between metaphor and cognition. The connection can be explained if the process of understanding is metaphorical. Such an explanation involves self-reference in two ways. First, the explanation will necessarily apply to itself. Second, metaphor, because it creates significance, must include directions for its own interpretation. Self-reference has been held to result in paradox or nonsense.

Self-referential inconsistency is a problem only if meaning is determinate. Theories of determinate meaning arc based on object-reference, or propositional equivalence. Both bases are shown to be unsatisfactory, and a non-referential theory of meaning based on …

Situations And Language: A Sociolinguistic Investigation, Rosalie Maggio Donofrio

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Statement of Problem

The purpose of this research is to begin to refute the deficit approach to the verbal abilities of poor children. It is the investigator's contention that data collected on poor children's verbal abilities was done in incorrect social situations. Current research indicates that language development is innate. Evidence now indicates, also, that "disadvantaged" children will be non-verbal and/or nonsensical in situations they see as threatening, while in non-threatening situations they display an adequate verbal ability. It is the object of this research to vary socio­linguistic variables, and create symmetrical and asymmetrical situations, in order to test the …

A Writing Seminar For Speakers Of Black English, Patricia Ann Geuder

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Statement of the Problem

The problem was to incorporate the findings of sociolinguistic research in Black English into a writing seminar for lower socio-economic Black students entering an institution of higher learning. This seminar was to be linguistically and pedagogically sound, efficiently structured, and motivationally effective with the result that the written dialect of Standard English would be comprehended and produced during the first term of each student's entry into the institution. The purpose of the study was to investigate the efficacy of the use of contrastive analysis methodology as a means of reducing both the kinds and numbers of …

Multicultural Curriculum Training With Pre-Student Teachers In Language Arts., Martha Weidman Hubble

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Despite serious attempts to increase the educational success of minority groups, culturally diverse learners continue to fail to acquire the educational skills that allow for comforts afforded the majority culture. With stress on developing native and English language skills, important cultural aspects of minority groups' heritages have not been the primary concern. This study relates to two problems in multicultural education1 (1) the inability of teachers to relate to and understand. the culturally diverse learner, and (2) the dearth of teaching materials based on the minority group members' cultural heritages.

Randomly selected from 29 secondary education pre-student teachers in language …
