Optimality Theory And Ethical Decision Making, Steve Parker, Mónica Parker Jan 2004

Optimality Theory And Ethical Decision Making, Steve Parker, Mónica Parker

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

Optimality Theory (OT) is a formal linguistic model in which grammars consist of a universal set of violable constraints that are ranked in a language-particular hierarchy. Lower-ranked constraints are often forcibly violated in order to improve satisfaction of higher-ranked constraints. The optimal or most harmonic pronunciation of a given word is that output candidate which best fulfills the language-specific ranking for a selected input form.

In this paper we show how OT can be invoked and efficaciously applied to the task of moral decision making in those situations when two or more principles conflict. For example, Christians are expected to …

Past, Present And Future Of Language Policy In Kazakhstan, Aliya S. Kuzhabekova Dec 2003

Past, Present And Future Of Language Policy In Kazakhstan, Aliya S. Kuzhabekova

Theses and Dissertations

This study is an analysis of the historical preliminaries, current state and directions of further development of the language policy in the former Soviet and presently independent Republic of Kazakhstan. Such an analysis is of special interest for sociolinguistic theory. The uniqueness of the linguistic situation challenging contemporary Kazakhstani language policy-making consists in the fact that Kazakh, the native tongue of the ethnic majority and the de jure state language of the independent Republic of Kazakhstan, is too lexically underdeveloped to successfully compete in most of the communicative domains with Russian, the state language of Soviet Kazakhstan and the alternate …

A Test Of The Cultural Ecological Model With Chinese And Caucasian Parents., Elaine Hulei Sep 2003

A Test Of The Cultural Ecological Model With Chinese And Caucasian Parents., Elaine Hulei

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine the cultural effect on parenting practices based on Ogbu's (1981) cultural ecological model. In a given society, parenting beliefs are a reflection of that society's cultural values and traditions. For example, verbosity, a parenting style, is considered a parenting mistake in Western culture; however, it may not be a-mistake in Chinese culture. Thirty-one immigrant Chinese and 30 Caucasian Americans mothers were recruited for this study. Three questionnaires were employed to measure parenting styles, child behaviors associated with parenting styles and the possible relationship between acculturation level and Chinese immigrant parenting. These questionnaires …
