Gendered Identity And Investment In Language Learning: A Case Study Of Heritage Spanish Speakers, Farah Ali

Friday Forum

Much of the existing research in second and heritage language acquisition (S/HLA) takes a traditional approach of focusing on the cognitive processes involved in S/HLA, as well as the resulting outcomes. A relatively recent approach that has emerged in S/HLA scholarship, however, relates the learner to the social world in terms of how sociocultural contexts may shape an individual’s language learning experiences and their personal investment in the process. This emergent approach also challenges traditional categorical conceptions of identity, positing that it is dynamic, fluid, constructed, and negotiated in social contexts. Following this approach, my objective is to demonstrate how …

About this Project

In the fall of 2018, 14 of the families and 32 students from two first-year seminars, Crossing Borders: Immigration, Identity, and Development and Immigrant Stories, worked together to create this cookbook. Families submitted their favorite dishes and then invited students to their homes to demonstrate the preparation. As they cooked and ate together, students recorded the steps to make the recipe and listened as connections between food, memory, family, migration, traditions, and religion emerged.

Harvesting Memory, Preserving Home: A Cookbook of the Painted Turtle Farm is the product of this undertaking. In it, we offer the …

La Teología Poética De Los Real Visceralistas, Angela G. Pegarella

Student Publications

Voy a analizar el rol que juegan la poesía y la religión en la novela Los detectives salvajes. Mi pregunta se trata de una conversación que tuvimos en clase cuando estábamos leyendo el texto. ¿Hay un tema de religión en la novela Los detectives salvajes por Roberto Bolaño aún si es sutil? Yo creo fuertemente que sí. Durante toda la novela, noté una alegoría cristiana que se manifiesta en los personajes principales (Cesárea Tinajero, Ulises Lima, y Arturo Belano en particular), la estructura (las dos partes de la Biblia y las tres partes de la novela), y la semejanza del …

Using The Variationist Comparative Method To Examine The Role Of Language Contact In Synthetic And Periphrastic Verbs In Spanish, Jenny Dumont, Damián Vegara Wilson

Spanish Faculty Publications

Language contact and linguistic change are thought to go hand in hand (e.g. Silva-Corvalán 1994), however there are methodological obstacles, such as collecting data at different points in time or the availability of monolingual data for comparison, that make claims about language change tenuous. The present study draws on two different corpora of spoken Spanish — bilingual New Mexican Spanish and monolingual Ecuadorian Spanish — in order to quantitatively assess the convergence hypothesis in which contact with English has produced a change to the Spanish verbal system, as reflected in an extension of the Present and Past Progressive forms at …

Third Person References: Forms And Functions In Two Spoken Genres Of Spanish, Jenny Dumont

Gettysburg College Faculty Books

This volume, a case study on the grammar of third person references in two genres of spoken Ecuadorian Spanish, examines from a discourse-analytic perspective how genre affects linguistic patterns and how researchers can look for and interpret genre effects. This marks a timely contribution to corpus linguistics, as many linguists are choosing to work with empirical data. Corpus based approaches have many advantages and are useful in the comparison of different languages as well as varieties of the same language, but what is often overlooked in such comparisons is the genre of language under examination. As this case study shows, …
