An Overview Of Stiêng Grammar, Vera Grace Miller

Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session

This overview of Stiêng, a Mon-Khmer language of Vietnam, was prepared from analysis of narrative text material and without the aid of a native speaker of Stiêng. It is, therefore limited in depth as far as the semantic properties of Stiêng are concerned.

The overview is presented in a restricted tagmemic model, describing mostly the occurrence and co-occurence of various tagmemes. Clause and sentence structure are briefly described, but major emphasis is on verb and noun phrases.

A section applying 'Case Grammar' as interpreted by Longacre and restricted to the Instrumental case gives some indication as to other features of …

A Phonological Reconstruction Of Proto-East-Katuic, Dorothy M. Thomas

Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session

The principal problem in the historical reconstruction of Proto Mon-Khmer is the great diversity between the modern descendants. This paper proposes to simplify that problem by reconstructing the East-Katuic branch of the Mon-Khmer family.

Three languages are compared: Brou, Pacoh, and Katu. Because of gaps in the cognate lists, both Brou and Pacoh had to be used as witnesses for the sub-family of Brou-Pacoh.

[Lists of vowels and consonants that are reconstructed herein.]

The main outline of the phonemic system of Proto-East-Katuic is clear. The remaining problems, involving further work on the vowels, pre-syllables, and final stops, can no doubt …

The Selective Retention Of Favorable, Neutral, And Unfavorable Statements About Men And Women Measured By Signal Detection, Ronald L. Matthew

Theses and Dissertations

The selective retention hypothesis states that people tend to remember information which is consistent with their attitudes and forget information which is contrary to their attitudes. This hypothesis has been shown to depend upon such factors as the sex of the subject, ego-involvement, the function that learning the material may serve for the subject, the nature of the audience to whom one must communicate, the affective nature of the material, prior familiarity with the material, and the cognitive structure of the subject.

The present study is an attempt to further explore the role of affective material and cognitive structure as …

Some Aspects Of Reproduction In Captive Mountain Lions Felis Concolor, Bobcats Lynx Rufus And Lynx Lynx Canadensis, Clifford F. Mehrer

Theses and Dissertations

More than 1500 vaginal smears and 75 0 urine samples were collected from 18 captive mountain lions, Felis concolor Linnaeus, 17 bobcats, Lynx rufus (Schreber), and 9 Canadian lynx, Lynx canadensis Kerr, from 1973-1974. Four types of epithelial cells were observed in the vaginal smears: parabasal, intermediate, cuboidal superficial and nivi- cuiar superficial. The smears were classified as anestrus , proestrus , estrus or metestrus on the basis of the four cell types and other smear characteristics . The reproductive behavior in captive mountain lions, bobcats, and lynx was also analyzed and the relationship between vagi- nal smear types and …

Charles Alexander Eastman One Man's Journey In Two Worlds, David Reed Miller

Theses and Dissertations

The recent historical resurgence in the study of American Indian culture has again revived an interest in the writings of Dr. Charles Alexander Eastman (Santee Dakota, 1858-1939). Dr. Eastman's life epitomized the struggle of American Indians to gain white educations and positions in white society at the close of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. American history has failed to recognize many American Indian leaders of achievement and importance, and this study intends to illuminate the details of Charles Eastman's active and diverse life.

Charles Eastman was born near Redwood Falls in the camp of his great-grandfather, Cloudman. …

The Effects Of Learned Helplessness Upon Appetitive Responding, Thomas R. Foster

Theses and Dissertations

The effects of learned helplessness and its relationship to depression were discussed. It was concluded that if learned helplessness was a valid experimental model for depression it should have detrimental effects on positively reinforced behavior. A number of rats were divided into two yoked groups and these two groups were put on the same food deprivation schedule. The animals were then trained in an aversive situation in a shuttle box. One group received escape training and one group received helplessness training. The yoked pairs received the same mean time of shock exposure. Approximately 24 hours later, both groups were tested …

Dependency Attachment And Exploration: Their Interrelationships In One-Year-Old Children, Elizabeth S. Baraga

Theses and Dissertations

Attachment and dependency are two important related infant-mother relationships which develop in the first year of life. Attachment has been defined as an affectional bond that one person forms to another specific individual which is both discriminating and enduring. Dependency, on the other hand, has been defined as a class of behaviors learned in the context of the infant's dependency relationship with his mother, reinforced in the course of her care of him and generalized to other caretakers. Operationally, attachment has been defined by proximity- seeking while dependency has been defined by attention-seeking. The purpose of the present study was …

Maternal Personality Variables And Their Effect On Interaction With Their One-Year Old Children, David Baraga

Theses and Dissertations

Attachment behavior is defined as the diversity of behaviors which promote proximity, contact and communication with the figure or figures to whom the child is attached. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that personality traits of the mother influence the manner in which she characteristically relates to her child. These traits, therefore, influence the quality of attachment of the child.

To accomplish this task, thirty-six mothers and their one- year-old children participated in a controlled laboratory situation consisting of eight episodes in which the child alternately played with the mother, with, a stranger, and alone. Observations were made …
