Scott, Dean of the College of Music Costas Tsatsoulis, Interim Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Reikofski, Helen Dewey. Singing in English in the 21st Century: A Study Comparing and Applying the Tenets of Madeleine Marshall and Kathryn LaBouff. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2015, 171 pp., 6 tables, 21 figures, bibliography, 141 titles. The English diction texts by Madeleine Marshall and Kathryn LaBouff are two of the most acclaimed manuals on singing in this language. Differences in style between the two have separated proponents to be primarily devoted to one or the other. An in- depth study, comparing the precepts of both authors, and applying their principles, has resulted in an understanding of their common ground, as well as the need for the more comprehensive information, included by LaBouff, on singing in the dialect of American Standard, and changes in current Received Pronunciation, for British works, and Mid- Atlantic dialect, for English language works not specifically North American or British. Chapter 1 introduces Marshall and The Singer’s Manual of English Diction, and LaBouff and Singing and Communicating in English. An overview of selected works from Opera America’s resources exemplifies the need for three dialects in standardized English training.

  • Song As the Memory of Language in the Arbëresh Community of Chieuti
    MY HEART SINGS TO ME: Song as the Memory of Language in the Arbëresh Community of Chieuti Sara Jane Bell A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Curriculum in Folklore. Chapel Hill 2011 Approved by: Dr. Robert Cantwell (Chair) Dr. William Ferris Dr. Louise Meintjes Dr. Patricia Sawin ABSTRACT SARA JANE BELL: My Heart Sings to Me: Song as the Memory of Language in the Arbëresh Community of Chieuti (Under the Direction of Robert Cantwell, Chair; William Ferris; Louise Meintjes; and Patricia Sawin) For the people of Chieuti who grew up speaking the Albanian dialect that the inhabitants of their Arbëresh town in the Italian province of Puglia have spoken for more than five centuries, the rapid decline of their mother tongue is a loss that is sorely felt. Musicians and cultural activists labor to negotiate new strategies for maintaining connections to their unique heritage and impart their traditions to young people who are raised speaking Italian in an increasingly interconnected world. As they perform, they are able to act out collective narratives of longing and belonging, history, nostalgia, and sense of place. Using the traditional song “Rine Rine” as a point of departure, this thesis examines how songs transmit linguistic and cultural markers of Arbëresh identity and serve to illuminate Chieuti’s position as a community poised in the moment of language shift. ii For my grandfather, Vincenzo Antonio Belpulso and for the children of Chieuti, at home and abroad, who carry on.

    ISSN 2239-978X Journal of Educational and Social Research Vol. 5 No.1 ISSN 2240-0524 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy January 2015 Assistance of the Arbëresh Personalities for the Preservation and Development of the Albanian Language Monica Hasan (Hoshafi) Ministry of Education Sports Email: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/jesr.2015.v5n1p79 Abstract Although Arbơresh community removed to Italy since nearly five centuries ago, they continued to jealously guard their traditions and ancient rites, aiming to keep alive proudly their fore-fathers world. During their hard work how to protect and highlight the " Arbëresh world ", they had to overcome numerous difficulties of linguistic and literary character in their native language writing. The Arbơresh community of Italy wrote in the native language and the first known writer until today among them was Lek Matrënga with his masterpiece "E mbsuame e krishterë" (1592). Under the influence of Italian Language, as well as under the influence of the Roman Catholic culture, the arbëresh writers have used mainly Latin alphabet. In 1836 De Rada for the first time published in Napoli "Songs of Milosaos". In the foreword of this wonderful lyric poem, the powerful researcher expressed deep concern for the preservation of the Albanian identity and arberesh folk songs. Even today his creative work is an inspiration source and a subject of study for a considerable number of albanologists, linguists and teachers of the Albanian language. Keywords: De Rada, Arbereshe, Albanian language, 1. Introduction Although Arbơresh community removed to Italy since nearly five centuries ago, they continued to jealously guard their traditions and ancient rites, aiming to keep alive proudly their fore-fathers world.

  • Zantedeschi Roussillon Clergy
    © SPIN and the author www.spinnet.eu Do not quote without Vernacular culture as a religious rampart: Roussillon clergy and the defence of Catalan language in 1880s Francesca Zantedeschi The aim of this paper is to analyse the attitude of Roussillon secular clergy towards Catalan vernacular culture in the second half of the nineteenth century. I will explore the clerical response to Third Republic anti-clerical politics to point out that the recovery of vernacular culture by Roussillon clergy was suggested by a largely defensive attitude. France’s attitude towards dialects in the long nineteenth century At the beginning of nineteenth century, patois , a socially unworthy language, acquired new authority by becoming subject of investigation. In fact, since its early appearance, the word “patois” had had a negative implication. In the 1694 edition of Richelet dictionary, besides the distinction between language and dialect – a purely denotative distinction, dialect being considered a non-institutionalized language –, we could find the distinction between dialect and patois . It was a socio-qualitative distinction, and patois possessed a negative connotation, since it was defined as a «sort of coarse language of a particular place which is different from the language spoken by honest people» 1. Since the French language had two definitions, one of a legal nature and the other of a social nature, it follows that French language without a juridical legal status which belonged to the masses was a patois 2. The 1789 Revolution, due to its will to establish a new world also through language, confirmed and deepened this distinction between French and patois by institutionalizing it.
