Non-Subject Control Of Temporal Adjuncts, Jeffrey Jack Green Jan 2018

Non-Subject Control Of Temporal Adjuncts, Jeffrey Jack Green

Faculty Publications

Previous research on adjunct control [4, 7, 12, 13] classifies it as Obligatory Control (OC) due to facts such as the following: the matrix subject can control PRO, but the object cannot (1), and only a sloppy interpretation is available under ellipsis (2). With examples such as (3), however, it has been demonstrated that this is not always the case [10, 18]. Here, PRO may refer to an entity not represented syntactically in the sentence, so these must be instances of Non-Obligatory Control (NOC). Landau [10] argues that NOC of right-adjoined adjuncts is only available under two conditions: the adjunct …


Is It Worth It? Budget-Related Evaluation Metrics For Model Selection, Filip Klubicka, Giancarlo Salton, John D. Kelleher Jan 2018

Is It Worth It? Budget-Related Evaluation Metrics For Model Selection, Filip Klubicka, Giancarlo Salton, John D. Kelleher

Conference papers

Projects that set out to create a linguistic resource often do so by using a machine learning model that pre-annotates or filters the content that goes through to a human annotator, before going into the final version of the resource. However, available budgets are often limited, and the amount of data that is available exceeds the amount of annotation that can be done. Thus, in order to optimize the benefit from the invested human work, we argue that the decision on which predictive model one should employ depends not only on generalized evaluation metrics, such as accuracy and F-score, but …

Adapting Intertextuality: The Case Of Nursery Rhyme Characters In Creating New Canons In Children’S Culture, Catalina Millán Scheiding Jan 2018

Adapting Intertextuality: The Case Of Nursery Rhyme Characters In Creating New Canons In Children’S Culture, Catalina Millán Scheiding

Faculty Works

The increasingly common use of English nursery rhymes intertextually has impacted upon their transfer into target cultures: entire nursery rhymes, fragments and characters are now found in translational situations. Most of these situations are adaptations of nursery rhymes into other media; and one of the most evident is the use of nursery rhyme characters found in a different context, frequently portrayed visually. Through a reception case study with Spanish students, this report intends to address issues about the relevance of intertextuality in translation, as well as the child’s assumptions in relation to discourse and visual input. Through a qualitative mixed-method …


Application Of Folktales To Cultural Tourism Management: A Case Study Of The Central Isan Provinces Of Thailand, Nittaya Wannakit Jan 2018

Application Of Folktales To Cultural Tourism Management: A Case Study Of The Central Isan Provinces Of Thailand, Nittaya Wannakit

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

This article aims to investigate the application of folktales for cultural tourism management and the role and importance of this folklore data for tourism management in the Central Isan Provinces of Thailand, i.e. Kalasin, Khon Kaen, Maha Sarakham and Roi Et. The key concepts used in this study include creative economy, creative folklore, cultural tourism and identity. The study revealed that most folktales used in tourism management were tales and local myths such as fairy tales, legends of the city, local tales and legends of heroes in the provinces. The application of folktales varied, including reinterpretation, reproduction and mixing to …


The Ontological Foundations Of Digital Art, RóIsíN Lally Jan 2018

The Ontological Foundations Of Digital Art, RóIsíN Lally

Leadership Studies Faculty Scholarship

In recent decades, the internet has become our predominant public space and yet the role of art in this space remains largely unthought. This paper argues that graphic art, and in particular digital graphic art, has great power to shape and transform our thinking and experience. But with that power comes an enormous political and ethical responsibility, a responsibility too often ignored by programmers and computer scientists. This paper uses the work of Denis Schmidt and Jacques Taminiaux as important resources for developing a Heideggerian response to this lack.


Music In The Northern Woods: An Archaeological Exploration Of Musical Instrument Remains, Matthew Durocher Jan 2018

Music In The Northern Woods: An Archaeological Exploration Of Musical Instrument Remains, Matthew Durocher

Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports

Archaeological and historical literature neglects music and sound. The quantity and distribution of musical remains found during archaeological excavations at Coalwood, a Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company (CCI) logging camp active from 1901-1912 in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, addresses the importance of music to the people that lived there. Musical reed plates from harmonicas, concertinas, and accordions were recovered and examined. These musical remains have traditionally been ignored as a diagnostic artifact, but here, I use them as primary evidence to access the daily lives of people in the northern woods. To do this, I will present how CCI developed Coalwood …


Struggling Toward An American National Theatre, Rebecca Ann Soderna Jan 2018

Struggling Toward An American National Theatre, Rebecca Ann Soderna

Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports

The United States is conspicuously lacking in a large-scale government subsidy program for the arts and has never established a National Theatre. This makes us unique among most developed nations in the world as well as among many developing countries that established national theatres early in their burgeoning histories, and it begs the question: why has government support of the cultural life of the nation never been a priority in the U.S.? One notable exception to this can be found in considering the work accomplished by the Federal Arts Projects created under the auspices of the Work Progress Administration (WPA) …

“I’Ll Come Back And Break Your Spell”: Narrative Freedom And Genre In The Haunting Of Hill House, Hilarie Ashton Jan 2018

“I’Ll Come Back And Break Your Spell”: Narrative Freedom And Genre In The Haunting Of Hill House, Hilarie Ashton

Publications and Research

In The Haunting of Hill House, Shirley Jackson interplays repression and fear inside a “normal” world, reshaping the modern Gothic novel. In this article, I trace key moments in the text where the perceptions of her complicated protagonist, Eleanor Vance, appear without the mediation of the narrator, via verb tenses, punctuation/formatting choices, and quotation. Many of these moments, I argue, occur in narrative spaces that are more quotidian than Gothic (some not even chilling at all). With the periodic narrative freedom, which I call bare thoughts, this recalibrates the division between imaginary and reality while opening up possibilities for …

A Critical Examination Of Understanding’S Characteristics: Why, In A Sense, Understanding Is Unique, Christopher Becker Jan 2018

A Critical Examination Of Understanding’S Characteristics: Why, In A Sense, Understanding Is Unique, Christopher Becker

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Is understanding a unique kind of epistemic state or simply another word for knowledge? Recently, there is a dispute in the literature between those, non-reductionists, who argue that we cannot reduce understanding to knowledge. Sliwa and Khalifa, two reductionists, on the other hand, argue that understanding is basically just another word for knowledge (if we are fairly comparing the two). After considering the dialectic between non-reductionists and reductionists, undogmatically, I argue that Sliwa's arguments in favor of reductionism fail. Sliwa's analytical argument in defense of reductionism is unsuccessful because a special kind of understanding, subjective understanding, can be independent of …


Too Intimate To Speak : Regional Cinemas And Literatures, Victor Fan Jan 2018

Too Intimate To Speak : Regional Cinemas And Literatures, Victor Fan

Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese 現代中文文學學報

In this essay, I look back at a moment in Chinese literature and cinema, the 1930s and 1940s, when writers, filmmakers, and critics were driven by a series of political crises to conceptualize the relationship between “mother language” and “national language” from a very different perspective than Song’s. I do so by scrutinizing film and literary criticisms from this period. A national language, literature, and cinema are not static, unified, and internally coherent entities that naturally subsume their regional counterparts under them. While Putonghua 普通話 (literally, common language) required—and still requires—an ongoing process of putong hua 普通化 (communalization), regional topolects, …


The Contradictions Of Exile : Escape, Testimony, And Ethics In Gao Xingjian’S One Man’S Bible, Sebastian Veg Jan 2018

The present essay proposes to focus more closely on One Man’s Bible as encapsulating some of the tensions and contradictions of exile as a theme in Gao’s work and worldview.

Transnational Film Production And The Tourist Gaze : On Hou Hsiao-Hsien’S Café Lumière And Flight Of The Red Balloon, Shr-Tzung, Elliott Shie

Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese 現代中文文學學報

This article attempts to reexamine the multiple forms of displacement in and of the film to which the new historical era gave rise, and thereby critically engage with the questions of transnational capital flow, global tourism and spectatorship, and textual migration in the case of intertextuality.


Lost At Home : Jia Zhangke’S Journey Toward Modernity, Wei Menkus Jan 2018

Lost At Home : Jia Zhangke’S Journey Toward Modernity, Wei Menkus

Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese 現代中文文學學報

In this essay, I take a close look at three of Jia’s films that have prominently engaged the topic of home in relation to place, identity, and nation: Still Life 三峽好人 (2006), 24 City 24城記 (2008), and A Touch of Sin 天註定 (2013). Set at the turn of the twenty-first century, these films employ various modes of representation concerning the reality of space. Still Life, a quiet and contemplative cinematic essay on change and obsolescence, tracks two strangers’ separate journeys to the Three Gorges city of Fengjie as they look for their missing spouses in the disappearing land. 24 City …


論古代女性形象和地位 : 以《說文解字》女部形容詞為研究中心, Lai Him Po Jan 2018

論古代女性形象和地位 : 以《說文解字》女部形容詞為研究中心, Lai Him Po

Dissertations from all years

一個國家的文字往往反映其獨特的思想文化,漢代許慎的《說文解字》作為中國歷史上第一部有系統地考證字源的字書,當中對每個字的解釋都蘊藏了深刻的中國文化。本文以《說文解字》中的「女部」形容詞作為研究範圍。希望透過分析許慎為這些字所下的定義,配合歷史古籍,窺探古代女性的形象和地位,並嘗試探討背後的中國傳統文化思想。本文首先將《說文》「女部」可作為形容詞的字分為褒義及貶義,然後再按意義類別編排分類,其中褒義分為六大類,貶義分為五大類。由於《說文》「女部」中可以用來形容不同事物的字眾多,故本文只會抽取一部份來進行研究,詳細字義分類及解釋可參考附錄。
