Timing The Introduction Of Kanji In The Study Of Japanese As A Second Language, Kerilee Grames, Dr. Robert A. Russell
Timing The Introduction Of Kanji In The Study Of Japanese As A Second Language, Kerilee Grames, Dr. Robert A. Russell
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The Japanese language has a reputation of being difficult for native English speakers to master as a second language because of kanji, a complex, character alphabet that the Japanese borrowed from China. One of the greatest struggles for teachers of Japanese as a second language (JSL) is knowing when to introduce these foreign characters to their students. As a student who has struggled to learn kanji, and one who intends to also teach it, I proposed to study the research that has already been done in this area, to observe teachers of JSL in both Japan and America, and to …

The Ritual Use Of Music In Ancient Israelite Worship, Mindy J. Anderson, Dr. Stephen D. Ricks
Journal of Undergraduate Research

Kibigaku: An Analysis Of A Modern Japanese Ritual Music, Larry V. Shumway
Faculty Publications
Kibigaku is the name given to a musical tradition which arose in western Japan during the early years of the Meiji period (1867-1912). It was created by a Gagaku musician of the recently abolished Ikeda fief at Okayama, Yoshihide Kishimoto, who sought to blend elements of the Imperial Court music with those of more popular genres to create a new form of music which would be appropriate for a modernized Japan. Inherent in his thinking was the idea that while Gagaku was the only music having the power to fully evoke and express the Japanese spirit, it was too austere …
Hebrew Idioms In The Small Plates Of Nephi, E. Craig Bramwell
Hebrew Idioms In The Small Plates Of Nephi, E. Craig Bramwell
Theses and Dissertations
The problem of this thesis is: To determine whether there are Hebraic idioms in the Small Plates of Nephi in the Book of Mormon that have been retained in translation. An idiom is defined as any peculiar genius of the language: grammatical, syntactical, or verbal imagery. Non-Hebraic idioms were not considered.
The assumptions underlying the problem are:
1. The Book of Mormon is a record of the Nephites whose cultural, social, and lingual milieu originated in Israel.
2. The Book of Mormon was originally written according to a Hebrew pattern of thought and communication.
3. Joseph Smith, as a young …
