Naming Oneself Writer: Three Writing Lives., Helen Jane Lamar

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to investigate writers' perceptions of how they came to name themselves as writer.

Preschool Teachers' Use Of Language For Distancing (Communication), Margaret Bergan Nardi Jan 1984

Preschool Teachers' Use Of Language For Distancing (Communication), Margaret Bergan Nardi

Theses and Dissertations

The ability to cognitively separate oneself from the immediate behavioral environment has been identified in the literature as the concept of distancing. It has been suggested that the child's distancing abilities are a reflection of his early experiences with the distancing language of significant others in his environment. Several curricula have been developed that focus on strategies that teachers can employ for facilitating distancing in children. Very little is reported in the literature, however, about the distancing language of teachers in practice. This study investigates the distancing language of six preschool teachers in their talk to preschool age children.The data …
