Apodosis Aposiopesis, Max Nelson

Identity Creation And World-Building Through Discourse In Video Game Narratives, Barbara Jedruszczak
Identity Creation And World-Building Through Discourse In Video Game Narratives, Barbara Jedruszczak
Dissertations - ALL
An exploration of how characters develop identity through language use in a video game’s narrative, specifically in video games that do not allow for players to make narrative-altering choices. The concept of literacies is used to create a critical framework through which to view video games themselves as a literacy, as well as to view them as a discourse. This thesis analyzes how dialogue is used to develop and showcase gender, sexuality, personality, moral identity in characters in and out of the player’s control, as well as how dialogue builds the narrative world in which these characters exist.

A Cognitive Grammar Analysis Of The Semantics Of The Russian Verbal Prefix Na-, Christopher Hart-Moynihan
A Cognitive Grammar Analysis Of The Semantics Of The Russian Verbal Prefix Na-, Christopher Hart-Moynihan
Linguistics ETDs
The Russian verbal prefix na- is one of a set of aspectual prefixes that exhibit characteristics of both derivational and inflectional morphemes. In addition to forming aspectual pairs as a grammatical marker of Perfective aspect, na-, in many cases, also carries lexical meaning; in these cases, na-prefixation changes the lexical/semantic meaning of the verbal stem, resulting in a distinct lexical item. I examine a sample of 40 verbs to compare the frequencies of na- as a lexicalized prefix and as a grammaticalized prefix. I then propose a radial category model to account for the polysemous functions of na-, with several …

The Periodic Table Of The Alphabet, Solomon Golomb
Word Ways
If that bearded nineteenth-century Russian, Dmitri Mendeleev, had turned his attention to the Science of Linguistics, instead of to the pseudo-scientific cult of Alchemy, then rather than merely discovering the Periodic Table of the Elements, he might have been led to invent the following "Periodic Table of the Alphabet."
