    1 to “Err” Is Human: the Nature of Phonological “Errors” in Language

    To “Err” is Human: The Nature of Phonological “Errors” in Language Development1 Suzanne N. Landi Bryn Mawr College Abstract In children, two types of phonological “errors” may occur: slips of the tongue and pathological speech. A slip of the tongue is considered a normal, non- systematic “error”, whereas a series of consistent speech “errors” is labeled as a speech pathology. Both types of “errors” follow phonotactic constraints defined by the target grammar, and may result in substitutions and omissions of sounds in conversation. They differ traditionally in two key ways: (1) while slips are unique utterances that generally occur only once, the disfluencies are consistent in a pathology, and (2) the speaker is able to notice and correct their error when they make a slip, but it is not the case in a speech pathology. Relevant research to both types of “errors” will be presented for comparison purposes, and theoretical explanations will be offered. I will propose that a deficit in self-monitoring exists in those with disordered phonology, in order to explain why “errors” repeat. 1 I would like to acknowledge my thesis advisor Jason Kandybowicz for his patience and support, as well as Donna Jo Napoli, Jessica Webster-Love and Katie Bates for their valuable comments during this process. Although their contributions were utilized, the following ideas are my own and cannot be blamed on anyone else. I would also like to thank my friends and family for their love and support this semester, including (but not limited to): Deborah Landi, Sue Henry, Jenny Brindisi, Sarah Deibler, Katie Nagrotsky, Skye Rhodes-Robinson, Aaron Schwager and Chuck Bradley.

    Speaking from the Heart: Mediation and Sincerity in U.S. Political Speech David Supp-Montgomerie A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Communication Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: Christian Lundberg V. William Balthrop Carole Blair Lawrence Grossberg William Keith © 2013 David Supp-Montgomerie ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT David Supp-Montgomerie: Speaking from the Heart: Mediation and Sincerity in U.S. Political Speech (Under the direction of Christian Lundberg) This dissertation is a critique of the idea that the artifice of public speech is a problem to be solved. This idea is shown to entail the privilege attributed to purportedly direct or unmediated speech in U.S. public culture. I propose that we attend to the ēthos producing effects of rhetorical concealment by asserting that all public speech is constituted through rhetorical artifice. Wherever an alternative to rhetoric is offered, one finds a rhetoric of non-rhetoric at work. A primary strategy in such rhetoric is the performance of sincerity. In this dissertation, I analyze the function of sincerity in contexts of public deliberation. I seek to show how claims to sincerity are strategic, demonstrate how claims that a speaker employs artifice have been employed to imply a lack of sincerity, and disabuse communication, rhetoric, and deliberative theory of the notion that sincere expression occurs without technology. In Chapter Two I begin with the original problem of artifice for rhetoric in classical Athens in the writings of Plato and Isocrates.

    Glitch Poetics: Critical Sensory Realisms in Contemporary Language Practice

    Glitch Poetics: Critical Sensory Realisms in Contemporary Language Practice Nathan Jones Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for Doctor of Philosophy [corrections] April 2019 "1 Declaration I declare that this thesis has been composed solely by myself and that it has not been submitted, in whole or in part, in any previous application for a degree. Parts of this work have been published previous to this submission, as follows: Parts of Chapter 1 “Body-System Glitch” and the Introduction were published as “Glitch Poetics: The Posthumanities of Error” in Bloomsbury Handbook of Electronic Literature (ed. Joseph Tabbi 2017), and A Peer Review Journal About Machine Research (2018). Parts of Chapter 2 “Lyric-Code Glitch” and the Introduction were published in A Peer Review Journal About Excessive Research (2017) and Thresholds Journal (2017). Except where stated otherwise by reference or acknowledgment, the work presented is entirely my own. Signed ______Nathan Jones Date __22/04/2019_______ "2 Abstract This is a combined practice and theory submission. In it, I propose the term ‘glitch poetics’ to name a mode for reading and writing with deliberate error in contemporary literary texts. I pose the question: do glitches offer a moment of correspondence between the (already diverse) concerns of poetics and those of critical media practice? In attending to this question I perform a range of close- readings of contemporary media technologies and texts looking for moments in which revealing errors allow us to read across poems, devices, bodies and environments. In “Body-System Glitch”, I use analysis of textual artworks by Caroline Bergvall and Erica Scourti, alongside that of two new media devices to show how the relationships between physical and technical systems are exposed and re-constituted by language errors.
  • 1984 Final Project Assignment

    1984 Final Project Assignment

    1984 Final Project George Orwell’s 1984 is so widely read because it raises many interesting and important questions. In a live or recorded presentation, examine (#1) a central theme or issue in Orwell’s fictional 1984, and compare it to (#2) things that have happened, or are happening, in the real world since the novel was written. In choosing your topic, as well as how to present it, you – unlike the characters in 1984 – have a lot of freedom. Most of these topics will be new to you, so ask yourself right away which ones appeal to you. Then, read 1984 with the focus of a researcher. It is important that you begin researching your topic early, as you’ll need your reading notes on 1984 to help you make your case. The sooner in the reading schedule that you narrow down to one or two favorite topics, the better your final project experience will be. A successful presentation: ü follows a design approved by the teacher. ü lasts roughly five minutes. ü explains the topic in 1984 in accurate detail. ü supports your work with specific passages from the text. ü explicitly connects Orwell’s writings with a real-world issue o (“Explicitly” means “don’t just hint at it, come out and say it!”) ü explains the real-world topic, defining terms as necessary. o (Explain similarities and differences to Orwell’s vision.) ü supports your major claim/s with research. Format Every project requires research. Present your findings in a speech, video, song, collage, sculpture, guest speaker or interview, short film, or almost anything other format.

    Speaking – The case Frankly oracy for in the curriculum Speaking Frankly The case for oracy in the curriculum Speaking Frankly is a collection of essays by teachers, academics and educational thinkers on the importance of oracy in education. Find out more at oracynetwork.org The English-Speaking Union is a unique global educational charity and membership organisation that believes in the power of spoken communication. Through our educational programmes, competitions, cultural exchanges and advocacy we provide people with the skills to realise their full potential, helping them become confident communicators, critical thinkers and empowered citizens. We believe that good communication is essential to individual, community and cross-cultural development and understanding, and endeavour to ensure it is recognised as such. In 2012, School 21 in Stratford, East London, opened its doors. Recognising the value of developing students’ speaking skills to support them in learning and in life, the school places speech at the heart of every lesson and nurtures a whole-school culture of oracy. Teachers and students have found that that this talk-centred approach has a pronounced effect on achievement across the curriculum as well as enhancing pupils’ eloquence, confidence and wellbeing. In 2014, supported by the Education Endowment Fund, the School 21 Trust worked with Cambridge University to develop an oracy curriculum and assessment tools to be shared with schools across the country. With the backing of the Big Change Charitable Trust, Voice 21 was born. Now that we are confident that prioritising oracy has a transformational effect on students we want to spread our ideas in order to bring about change.
