Indonesian Teachers' And Students' Preferences For Error Correction, Sisilia S. Halimi

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Walaupun hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa manfaat koreksi kesalahan pada tulisan siswa bertentangan satu dengan yang lain, pengajar bahasa tidak dapat berhenti mengoreksi kesalahan-keslahan karena siswa sendiri menginginkan pengajar mengoreksi kesalahan-kesalahan mereka (Walz 1982). Masalahnya adalah harapan siswa kerap kali berbeda dengan keyakinan pengajar tentang koreksi kesalahan (Diab 2006). Kajian ini ingin mengetahui keinginan para mahasiswa dan pengajar di Universitas di Indonesia tentang koreksi kesalahan tulisan mahasiswa. Sebuah kuesioner yang disusun berdasarkan kuesioner yang digunakan Leki (1991) dan kuesioner yang digunakan Diab (2006) digunakan untuk mengetahui keinginan pengajar dan mahasiswa tentang teknik koreksi dan keyakinan mereka tentang koreksi kesalahan tulisan yang …

"Ini Apel Ni Nya" 'This Here Apple Now'; Deictics In The Malay Speech Of Southwest Malukan Migrants In The Netherlands1, Aone Van Engelenhoven

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Dialek Melayu yang dipakai para pendatang asal Maluku Selatan di Belanda ini memperlihatkan rangkaian demonstrativa dan endofora yang tidak ditemukan dalam bahasa Indonesia baku. Makalah ini mengkaji semantik dari rangkaian unsur deiktik tersebut dalam kerangka linguistik kognitif dan menjelaskannya sebagai sesuatu yang muncul dari bahasa ibu penutur, dengan mencontohkan bahasa Meher dan Leti. Makalah ini ditutup dengan mengaitkan penemuannya dengan bahasa Melayu Tangsi yang diduga adalah nenek moyang dari dialek Melayu yang digunakan pendatang Maluku di Belanda. Dinyatakan bahwa pencarian asal-usul dialek turunan Melayu Pijin sejenis ini hanya bisa dilakukan dengan berfokus pada makna yang disampaikan lewat konstruksikonstruksinya.

On The Development Of Urak Lawoi' Malay, Hein Steinhauer

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Urak Lawoi' yang berarti 'orang laut' adalah nama suku nelayan pengembara laut yang tersebar di Pulau Phuket (Thailand) dan Kepulauan Adang di sebelah selatannya. Bahasa mereka yang juga dikenal dengan nama Urak Lawoi' merupakan sebuah varietas Melayu yang khas. Dari pemeriannya yang ada tampaklah bahwa bahasa itu menyimpang dari varietas Melayu di daratan Thailand Selatan dan di semenanjung Malaysia. Dalam artikel ini direkonstruksikan perubahan bunyi dalam urutannya yang diakronis, yang telah memberikan wujud khas pada kata-kata leksikal Urak Lawoi' itu. Yang menonjol dalam hal itu adalah dua perubahan bunyi yang mengingatkan bahasabahasa di Kalimantan Barat dan Serawak, yaitu hilangnya letupan …

Automating Mini-Ontology Generation From Canonical Tables, Stephen G. Lynn

Theses and Dissertations

In this thesis work we develop and test MOGO (a Mini-Ontology GeneratOr.) MOGO automates the generation of mini-ontologies from canonicalized tables of data. This will help anyone trying to organize large amounts of existing data into a more searchable and accessible form. By using a number of different heuristic rules for selecting, enhancing, and modifying ontology elements, MOGO allows users to automatically, semi-automatically, or manually generate conceptual mini-ontologies from canonicalized tables of data. Ideally, MOGO operates fully automatically while allowing users to intervene to direct and correct when necessary so that they can always satisfactorily complete the translation of canonicalized …

Peace-Weavers And The Soldiers Who Court Them: The Sexual Development Of Women In Shakespear's Plays, Sara Ben-David

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

This paper moves beyond current psychoanalytic readings of the women in Shakespeare's plays as either Mother or Other to consider instead the extent to which their sexual development from girlhood into womanhood rehearses what Jacques Lacan describes as man's progression out of the Mirror Stage, through the acquisition of language and the recognition of sexual difference, and into a unified subjectivity. The author argues that Shakespeare's own understanding of sexual difference is predicated, in the case of femininity, upon the model of the feminine peace-weaver which he would have found in Greek mythology, particularly in Ovid's Heroides. It is with …

Academic Cultural Guides: Sponsors Of Academic Literacy Development, Luis Balmore Rivas

Department of English: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

This dissertation explores Hispanic/Latino students’ perceptions about language association and identity, the institution, and white professors at a small Midwestern liberal arts college. Issues addressed include the origin of a stigmatized relationship between Euro-Americans and Hispanics in the U.S. and its spill into academia, negative perceptions that affect students’ performance and persistence in the university, discussing the culture of power of the institution with students as a form of sponsorship, and providing academic literacy sponsorship through an Academic Cultural Guide role. The dissertation concludes with examples of strategies I have used in the first-year writing classroom to establish transparency of …

Accomplishing Marginalization In Bilingual Interaction: Relational Work As A Resource For The Intersubjective Construction Of Identity, Holly R. Cashman

Languages, Literatures & Cultures

This paper examines the use of impoliteness by Spanish–English bilingual pre-adolescents as a resource for accomplishing identities in spontaneous conversational interactions in an elementary school setting. The theoretical approach employed integrates the concept of relational work (Locher 2004; Locher and Watts 2005), which is based on Goffman's (1967) notion of face and which privileges participants' evaluation of language behavior within the norms of the community of practice, with recent work in sociocultural linguistics (Bucholtz and Hall 2004a, 2004b, 2005). This approach views identity as an interactional achievement reached through the use of what they call tactics of intersubjectivity. In this …

Bridging The Gender Gap In Quantum Physics, Gordon Stecklein

Pomona Senior Theses

Why is it important to study the gender gap in physics? Despite entering the workforce in increasing numbers over the last fifty years, women remain severely underrepresented in science and technology-related careers, particularly in positions of authority. Simultaneously, numerous studies verify that women have the ability to perform as well as – or better than – males in physics, and, when presented in certain lights, as many women as men show an interest in physics. Changes must be made in order to strive for equality and, given the changing demographic of the workforce, increase our country’s diminishing scientific prowess.

Acoustical Measurement Of The Human Vocal Tract: Quantifying Speech & Throat-Singing, Bryant R. Foresman

Pomona Senior Theses

The field of biological acoustics has witnessed a steady increase in the research into overtone singing, or “throat-singing,” in which a singer utilizes resonance throughout the vocal tract to sing melodies with the overtones created by a vocal drone. Recent research has explored both how a singer vocalizes in order to obtain rich harmonics from a vocal drone, as well as how further manipulations of the vocal apparatus function to filter and amplify selected harmonics. In the field of phonetics, vowel production is quantified by measuring the frequencies of vocal tract resonances, or formants, which a speaker manipulates to voice …

Lordship And Free Grace Salvation: Repentance In Luke-Acts, Jon Pruitt

Senior Honors Theses

Put into its simplest terms this debate concerns if a turn, or change of life, is necessary for salvation. That is why ıπιστρέφομαι (I turn) is key to understanding the concept of repentance. If Scripture uses ıπιστρέφομαι in way that suggests turning is necessary for salvation that would be in favor of the Lordship point of view. Or if Scripture’s use of ıπιστρέφομαι demonstrates that turning is not necessary for salvation the Free Grace perspective gains ground.

Another key word to this debate is μετανοέω (I repent). Discovering how the New Testament writers use μετανοέω will shed considerable light on …

Humint Or Webint? Concept Study On Possible Routes For Improving Knowledge Discovery Within Organizations, Nader Naghshineh

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The history of science is replete with instances of constant sociological and economic challenges posed by technical breakthroughs. On the other hand one could equally argue that it had been the sociological factors fomenting such breakthroughs. Both interpretations lead to the same effect, the increased complexity of the information sphere confronting us everyday. A number of researchers such as Shannon have argued an entropic effect for information. Some psychologist have suggested that our history from the standpoint of information dexterity could be interpreted by the degree of interaction of individual intelligence with collective intelligence as represented by institutions –such as …

A Linguistic And Exegetical Analysis Of Ephesians 4.8-9 From A Grammatical, Syntactical, Contextual, And Historical Perspective, Jay R. Hamilton

Senior Honors Theses

Ephesians 4.8-9 presents a challenging passage exegetically. The reference to Psalm 68.18 is ambiguous; it may picture Moses receiving the Torah or a king conquering an enemy army. Furthermore, Ephesians 4.9 is so closely linked to Ephesians 4.8 that one cannot validly interpret “the lower parts of the earth” (τα κατωτερα μερη της γης) from verse 9 without determining the meaning of the preceding verse. Therefore, Ephesians 4.8-9 is analyzed grammatically, contextually, and historically, in order to find the most likely interpretation for this particular passage. The study concludes that Paul in Ephesians 4.8 pictures a Davidic king conquering an …

Language And Story: An Argument For The Right Reading Of Tolkien’S Legendarium, Lucas D. Jarmin

Senior Honors Theses

Current views on the translation of Tolkien are that his works are completely translatable and understandable. The Lord of the Rings has been translated into many languages, and has sold millions the world over.

While an argument cannot be made for the non-translation of Tolkien’s works, his tales should be experienced in English whenever possible. J.R.R. Tolkien was by profession a philologist, and by hobby a creator of languages and story. His life work was the creation of a unifying legendarium, spanning thousands of years and dozens of languages. These languages and Tolkien’s use of English form the backbone for …
