Dr. C. Keith Harrison

The termination of a collegiate athletic career is inevitable for all student athletes. The purpose of this study was to explore student athletes’ perceptions of the athletic career transition process.

The LASS is a 58-item mixed method inventory. The scope of this inquiry explored the qualitative section, which examined participants’ perceptions that were visually primed with a narrative description of a student athlete who made the transition out of collegiate sport successfully. Three major …

Ethnicity As Cognition, Rogers Brubaker, Mara Loveman, Peter Stamatov

Rogers Brubaker

This article identi¢es an incipient and largely implicit cognitive turn in the study of ethnicity, and argues that it can be consolidated and extended by drawing on cognitive research in social psychology and anthropology. Cognitive perspectives provide resources for conceptualizing ethnicity, race, and nation as perspectives on the world rather than entities in the world, for treating ethnicity, race, and nationalism together rather than as separate subfields, and for re-specifying the old debate between primordialist and circumstantialist approaches.

Language, Power, And Social Interaction (Fall 2004 Syllabus), Adam Hodges

Adam Hodges

The objective of this course is to critically examine the role of language in articulating, maintaining, and subverting relations of power in society. We will ground our study by first looking at basic ideas on linguistic relativity, the idea that one adjusts to reality in large part through language. Then, we will explore the many dimensions of power in society and the role that language plays in this diagram of power. We will focus specifically on media language and political language; and critically analyze examples of discourse in an attempt to understand the power relations that undergird social interactions. This …

The Paq'tnkek Mi'kmaq And Ka't (American Eel): A Case Study Of Cultural Relations, Meanings And Prospects, Anthony A. Davis Dr,, John Wagner Dr., Kerry Prosper, Mary Jane Paulette

Anthony A. Davis Dr,

In September 1999 the Supreme Court of Canada, in R. v Marshall, affirmed that Atlantic Canada’s Mi’kmaq First Nation possessed a treaty-based right to derive a modest livelihood from commercial fisheries. This ruling has altered the fisheries’ political, social and economic landscape permanently. In so doing, it has positioned the Mi’kmaq and other Canadian First Nations to assume a leadership role in reshaping natural resource management policies and priorities. In this essay we first review the ways and means that R. v Marshall has been implemented, with a view to clarifying the current position of the Mi’kmaq within Atlantic Canadian …

A Corpus Study On The Item-Based Nature Of Early Grammar Acquisition., Adam Hodges, Valerie Krugler, Deborah Law

Adam Hodges

This paper explores the item-based nature of child language acquisition by examining data from the CHILDES database (MacWhinney 2000). Two studies are explicated: the first uses pooled data from several children, and the second follows a single child longitudinally. The results show that the learning of the complex construction consisting of a main clause followed by an infinitival compliment, e.g. I want to play, center around a single verb, want, even though other candidate verbs exist in the children’s vocabulary. We provide empirical evidence to show that children initially learn grammar via item-based units and gradually break down complex constructions …
