A Critique Of Markedness-Based Theories In Phonology, Naomi Gurevich

Faculty Research and Creative Activity

The notion of markedness has been prevalent in phonology since its use by one of the founders of the Prague school of phonology, Trubetzkoy (1939). In contemporary writing it is most often used as a measure of the relative naturalness of linguistic elements. In this paper I explore the use of markedness in phonology literature and argue that it is an ill-defined notion that relies on circular reasoning and, quite often, leads to conflicting or vacuous predictions. Specifically, I question the generative theory-internal notion that markedness is encoded in the grammar. I focus on the multi-dimensional aspect of markedness in …

Visitscotland.Com:Volumes And Values Study, Andrew Frew, Patrick Horan, Peter Mccarthy

Reports / Surveys

VisitScotland commissioned the work described in this research report in early Spring 2001 and the central aim was a desire to explore the impact of visitscotland.com on accommodation booking volumes and values. The detailed methodology is described in the main body of the report and was based upon two inter-connected tiers. The first tier of research was an extensive survey of accommodation provision undertaken by a variety of routes; postal, fax, email, telephone and web survey techniques. This work provided the basis for the calculation of the indirect conversion ratio once the corresponding server log file activity was analysed.

Familiarity With The Test Environment Improves Escape Responses In The Crimson Spotted Rainbowfish, Melanotaenia Duboulayi, Culum Brown

Sentience Collection

Animals that are familiar with their environment have been reported to have greater survivorship for a number of reasons related to their knowledge of the terrain, which they recall from memory. In an initial experiment rainbowfish significantly improved their escape response towards a novel trawl apparatus over a sequence of five runs. Escape latencies were still low during a subsequent exposure 11 months after the initial exposure. While part of the improvement in escape success was certainly due to learning associated with the location of the escape route, it is likely that this was aided by habituation to the tank …

The School Board President’S Perception Of The District Superintendent: Applying The Lenses Of Social Influence And Social Style, George J. Petersen, Paula M. Short

Graduate Studies in Education

This exploratory study used components found in social influence theory and social style to examine the school board president’s perceptions of the district superintendent’s ability to influence the construction of the board agenda and voting decisions made by school boards in 131 randomly chosen school districts. Social influence theory and social style suggest that credibility, social attractiveness, assertiveness, and emotiveness are effective and compelling elements of influence. Results from this study suggest that favorable board decision making for superintendent-recommended action items is closely related to the superintendent’s trustworthiness (perceived use of skills and knowledge for the good of the district), …
