Modality Specific Predicate Usage And Imagery Vividness, Joann C. Russell

Theses and Dissertations

Bancller and Grinder (1975, 1976) propose a model oE communication and change which is based on the assumption that the language used by an individual directly reflects the sensory nature of his conscious experience. A preference for some mode(s) over others for representation of experience is purportedly evidenced by relatively more frequent occurrence in the person's speech of predicates specific to the favored mode(s). Further, imagery is said to be more vivid in preferred representational systems.

The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between modality specific predicate usage and vividness of sensory imagery. Subjects were 42 undergraduate students …

Discrimination Learning Sets In Children, Sandra Harrell Fenner

Theses and Dissertations

This study investigated the relationship between the formation of discrimination learning set and children's ability to use logical thinking as indicated by verbalization of the rule of the problem. Twenty-seven seven-year-olds and 27 nine-year-olds, all females, within the average IQ range, were presented four-trial object discrimination problems as a game. Each child was presented 20 problems per day for one to three days until she reached the criterion of two successive problems in which no error was made on trials 2, 3, and 4 of both problems. After every ten problems the experimenter asked the subject questions to determine whether …

A Comparison Of Groups' Judgments During The Screening Of Normally-Developing And Language-Impaired Children, Karen Louise Ruttledge

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether classroom teachers, student clinicians, and public school speech- language pathologists judge child language performance differently when using personal criteria and when using selected criteria to screen child language performance.

The subjects in the present study were ten public school speech- language pathologists with one to thirteen years of experience, ten student clinicians with one to three semesters of supervised clinical practicum, and ten classroom teachers with one to six years of experience. Two videotapes of one-minute start/stop language samples of ten children, five of whom were language normal and five …

Antonio Callado's Reflections Of The Ball And Some Reflections On Its Translation, Harriet S. Mcclelland

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis consists of a translation of Antonio Callado's Reflections of the Ball (Rio de Janeiro: Paz e Terra, 1976) from Portuguese to English, an analysis of some of the problems involved in the translation process with proposed solutions to the specific problems of this work, and a critical analysis of some of the literary aspects of the book.

The following procedure was followed: (1) a first draft translation was made, and a native speaker of Brazilian Portuguese was consulted to see if the meaning was retained in the target language at all points; (2) then, the translation was gone …

The Verbal System In Godié: A Daughter Dependency Approach, Lynell Marchese

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

From the introduction: "The goal of this paper is to describe the verbal system of Godié, a Kru language spoken in southwest Ivory Coast, within the framework of daughter dependency grammar. This model has been recently developed by the British linguist, R. A. Hudson. The model could be called "generative" since structures are built up through the application of various sets of rules. This type of grammar varies considerably, however, from other generative grammars in that it generates only one structure for each construction (rather than the traditional deep and surface structures, with several intermediate structures in between). Rather than …

A New View Of To-Contraction, Donald G. Frantz

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

All treatments of so-called to-contraction in English (Lakoff 1970, Bresnan 1971, Lightfoot 1976) attempt to deal with the phenomenon entirely in terms of contiguity. The purpose of this squib is to point out that the major constraint on this phenomenon is rather one of subject coreference, and furthermore that this coreference condition is identical to that for a universal rule which I have called 'equi-subject clause union' (Frantz 1976).

On Downstairs Transitivity In Causative Clause Unions, Donald G. Frantz

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

From the introduction: "The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that a number of languages require downstairs (ds) intransitivity for causative clause union (CsU). In addition I offer for testing the hypothesis that ds intransitivity is a universal constraint in CsU. In order to accomplish my initial purpose and at the same time give preliminary testing to the proposed hypothesis, I will compare the predictions made by the received version of CsU with those made by my own version plus the proposed ds intransitivity constraint for a number of languages."

Remarks On Cheyenne Obviation And Pluralization, Wayne E. Leman

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

From the introduction, "In Cheyenne, as in other Algonquian languages, when two or more third-person nominals are in the same sentence or "contextual span" (Wolfart 1973:17), one of the nominals must be treated as "nearer" or more "in focus" than the other third-person nominal(s). The nearer person is called the "proximate" form while any other(s) is said to be "obviate" (sometimes called a "fourth-person"). The proximate nominal can function as the "topic" of a discourse segment, or "the person earlier spoken of and already known" (Bloomfield 1962:38). The marking of one or more nominals as obviates is called "obviation".

The Imperative Morpheme In Seri, Stephen A. Marlett

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

From the introduction: "There are several allomorphs of the morpheme indicating second person imperative and several of the morpheme indicating first person imperative in Seri. Since these allomorphs are for the most part suppletive in each case, it is necessary to posit two multi-clause spelling rules to account for them. In this paper I will present evidence for the analysis I have adopted which to the best of my knowledge accounts for all of the second person and first person imperatives in Seri."

The Attribution Of Fault To Rape Victims: Subject Variables Affecting Blaming, Stephan Podrygula

Theses and Dissertations

This study investigates the subject variables involved in the attribution of fault to rape victims. A consideration of attribution theory, in particular Heider's "naive analysis of action," suggests that innocent victims of misfortune will be blamed, however implausible this at first seems. Heider's theory has led to two specific theoretical explanations for blaming, E. Walster's defensiveness hypothesis and Lerner's just world hypothesis, both of which are examined in some detail. The relevant theoretical and experimental literature is reviewed, an assessment of the current standing of these explanations is made, and unresolved issues are raised. Several issues and questions based on …
