A Centering Theory Analysis Of Discrepancies On Subject Zero Anaphor In English To Thai Translation, Saranya Pathanasin, Wirote Aroonmanakun
Manusya, Journal of Humanities
Centering theory (CT) has been adopted in analyzing 84 zero anaphors in 50 informative texts. It is found that most zero anaphors occur in Continuation state both in English texts (source texts (ST)) and Thai translation (target texts (TT)). Zero anaphors in the TT outnumber those in ST and are found in more environments. In terms of translation, most zero anaphors in source texts remain in the same form in the target texts although some items are translated into different anaphor forms. Results indicate that zero anaphor is used to keep discourse coherence and to refer to the backward-looking center …

Manusya, Journal of Humanities
This cross-sectional study investigated the use of the simple past tense form by twenty Thai learners of English at two levels of proficiency. A cloze test developed by Ayoun and Salaberry (2008) was adopted. The findings showed that the learners in the high proficiency group used the past tense form more accurately than the learners in the low proficiency group. When verbs were categorized according to lexical aspect, both groups of learners were found to use the simple past tense form most often with telic events as well as with states. This did not correspond to the prediction of the …

Existence Of The Communities In Historic Ayutthaya Town, Thailand, Tapanee Rattanathavorn, Khaisri Paksukcharern, Wannasilpa Peerapun
Manusya, Journal of Humanities
This article analyzes the relationship between the spatial configuration and socio-economic factors to find the existence of the communities in the historical city of Phra Nakorn Sri Ayutthaya, an island area mainly covered with historical monuments. This area has historical structures covering most of the town, so the communities here at present are small. The transportation network in the area is not systematically connected to the town itself and, thus, cannot serve a wide-range of community activities. The activities that do take place are not spread evenly across the area according to its integration value. As a consequence, communities cannot …

A Folk Taxonomy Of Terms For Ghosts And Spirits In Thai, Manasikarn Hengsuwan, Amara Prasithrathsint
Manusya, Journal of Humanities
Previous studies show that Thai people's ways of life and traditions from birth to death are related to ghosts. Most of the studies deal with the role of ghosts in Thai society but there has been no study on ghost terms in Thai, which would reflect the ghost system in Thai thoughts. Thus, this study aims to analyze the system and categorization of terms for ghosts and spirits in Thai. Folk taxonomy, which is a method in the ethnosemantic approach, has been adopted for the analysis. Data elicitation of the meanings of Thai ghost terms was done at Wat Suan …

Nominalization As A Marker Of Detachment And Objectivity In Thai Academic Writing, Amara Prasithrathsint
Manusya, Journal of Humanities
This study is about whether academic writing in every language is marked by nominaliza-tion, and what role nominalization plays in academic writing. Since there has been no study that analyzes Thai academic writing specifically, this study aims to analyze academic writing in Thai with a focus on nominalization and find out what function nominalization performs in this genre. In order to find out whether nominalization is an outstanding feature of academic writing, I compared this genre with editorials with reference to nominalization. The data is composed of a number of academic articles and a number of editorials, which are 51,163 …

The Lao-Speaking Nyo In Banteay Meanchey Province Of Cambodia, Thananan Trongdee
Manusya, Journal of Humanities
There are some researches indicating the presence of Tai Yor or Lao Nyo or Nyo speakers in the Aranyaprathet district, Sa Keaw province of Thailand and in Banteay Meanchey province of Cambodia. This is surprising because as it is generally understood the Nyo people are predominantly located in Tha Uthen district, Nakhon Phanom province and in the Kantharawichai district, Maha Sarakham province. In order to investigate this discrepancy in 2012 the Lao Nyo was studied by the author in Banteay Meanchey province and data were gathered on the phonological system and basic words of the so called Lao Nyo dialect. …

Urban Dignity - Global Dignity: What Is It? How Do We Achieve It? (Part 1), Evelin Lindner
Urban Dignity - Global Dignity: What Is It? How Do We Achieve It? (Part 1), Evelin Lindner
Journal of Urban Culture Research
Unity in diversity is at the centre of dignity. It means that people of all classes and colors intermingle in a spirit of mutual care and respect. Traditionally, throughout the past millennia, uniformity in division has been practised almost everywhereon the planet: to strengthen their competitive advantage over enemy out-groups, in-groups maintained a strictly unequal domination of higher beings over lesser beings. Unity in diversity is a more complex concept as it requires the readiness and ability to consider everyone else as equal in dignity, and it calls for the skills to enter into dialogue with equals. As long as …
Indigenous Music Mediation With Urban Khmer: Tampuan Adaptation And Survival, Todd Saurman
Indigenous Music Mediation With Urban Khmer: Tampuan Adaptation And Survival, Todd Saurman
Journal of Urban Culture Research
This paper describes some lowland/highland Khmer points of interconnection for indigenous Tampuan communities from the highland Northeast, Cambodia. Tampuan community musicians respond constructively to a Siem Reap tourist cultural show that depicts their indigenous ethnolinguistic group. Tampuan musicians make trips to the urban center of Phnom Penh to represent themselves in a CD recording, a concert, and a TV program. I contend that some community members are expressing strong cultural values as they mediate with the national and urbanculture in spite of a history of Khmerization efforts by lowland Khmer. A strong value of mediation reinforces highland desires to communicate …

Occupy Action! Collective Actions And Emotions In Public Places, Simone Belli
Journal of Urban Culture Research
In recent times there is an accelerated movement in the privatization of public land. Some representative cases are the names of subway stops and central squares being associated with the brands of large corporations. Consequently the city centers are becoming an ambiguous territory making it unclear what is public and private. Additionally these newly established social practices have consequences and poses questions as where private ground begins (and ends) and how the freedom to use such spaces are affected? The privatization of public land appears to be an encroaching process and standard as similar patterns were found in other European …

In Indonesia, it is common to see current classroom practices that incorporate the cooperative learning paradigm. In fact, there is a tendency to regard negatively a classroom without the label of 'cooperative learning' in which students are put into small groups. The current instructional practices then often make use of group work to encourage students to learn from one another in which they help and seek assistance from their fellow students besides from their teacher.

"I believe that there are three reasons why we should consider the importance of establishing a culture of reading. First, much of the information available in the world comes in the format of print. Most of the printed materials in the world come in English. In order to help students access more of the information available in English, the teacher must establish a culture of reading."

This qualitative study aims at investigating the relationship among cognitive styles, learning strategies and task. In order to determine the dominant cognitive styles of the subjects, questionnaires designed by Kolb (2005) were distributed to 778 engineering students. From the data analysis, it was found that two cognitive styles - 'diverger' and 'assimilator' are the dominant styles. This paper, therefore, focuses on two cases - one is a diverger and the other is an assimilator. The data show how engineering students from different dominant styles dealt with different subtasks, namely, note-taking, writing a story, and oral presentation under a 'Story Telling …
