This paper seeks to present a consistent approach for the study of the poetic text through the focus on the poetic structural role in its formation, for the substance of verse is the sound which forms an aesthetic value and rhythm in text. Rarely have critical studies given the sound its due attention. Only linguists have given it their interest. Critics have never been open much to benefit from the significant values which the sound suggests in the poetic text, though the sound represents the first brick in the construction of a poetic text. Therefore, it shouldn’t be overlooked.

Theses and Dissertations

Learning a language can induce anxiety among students. In addition, students can feel anxious when it comes to being tested on their language skills. Studies of goal attainment among health patients, students, and others have shown that self regulation through the model of Mental Contrasting with Implementation Intentions (MCII) can help participants reach their goals. In the current study, we sought to determine whether MCII could help learners better cope with anxiety when being orally examined in a second language. Specifically, we examined whether practicing MCII would lead to reductions in language test taking anxiety over time. We compared the …

Piecing Together The Puzzle Of Pictorial Representation: How Jigsaw Puzzles Index Metacognitive Development, Mj Doherty, M Wimmer, C Golleck, E Robinson, C Stone

School of Psychology

Jigsaw puzzles are ubiquitous developmental toys in Western societies, used here to examine the development of metarepresentation. For jigsaw puzzles this entails understanding that individual pieces, when assembled, produce a picture. In Experiment 1, 3- to 5-year-olds (N = 117) completed jigsaw puzzles that were normal, had no picture, or comprised noninterlocking rectangular pieces. Pictorial puzzle completion was associated with mental and graphical metarepresentational task performance. Guide pictures of completed pictorial puzzles were not useful. In Experiment 2, 3- to 4-year-olds (N = 52) completed a simplified task, to choose the correct final piece. Guide-use associated with age and specifically …

Mixed Plate: Exploring Multiracial Student Identities Within Higher Education, Haley K. M. Okamoto

PSU McNair Scholars Online Journal

Race has primarily been studied from a monoracial perspective, which prohibits multiracial individuals from expressing themselves because their racial identity does not fit into the neatly, pre-established monoracial categories. Previous research has found that multiracial students experience life in ways that are unique compared to their monoracial peers. Multiracial students are often required to conform to socially constructed monoracial boxes and have negative experiences surrounding racial identity development, racism/microaggressions, and lack of demographic categorization. The multiracial population in America is steadily growing, and if current trends persist, will only continue to do so. As a result, an increased number of …

Effect Of Text Processing Steps On Twitter Sentiment Classification Using Word Embedding, Manar D. Samad, Nalin D. Khounviengxay, Megan A. Witherow

Computer Science Faculty Research

Processing of raw text is the crucial first step in text classification and sentiment analysis. However, text processing steps are often performed using off-the-shelf routines and pre-built word dictionaries without optimizing for domain, application, and context. This paper investigates the effect of seven text processing scenarios on a particular text domain (Twitter) and application (sentiment classification). Skip gram-based word embeddings are developed to include Twitter colloquial words, emojis, and hashtag keywords that are often removed for being unavailable in conventional literature corpora. Our experiments reveal negative effects on sentiment classification of two common text processing steps: 1) stop word removal …
