The current study investigated Supernanny Jo Frost’s realisations of (t) as glottal or non-glottal towards British and American adults and children. Frost was found to style-shift to child-directed speech (CDS) when addressing children, which is interpreted in terms of communication accommodation theory as a communicative strategy to enhance clarity. Frost generally avoided convergence towards her American (and British) interlocutors, such that her style-shifting was found to be conditioned less by addressee nationality than by addressee age. I argue that this avoidance of convergence was motivated by her desire to construct an authentic, authoritative identity, which she achieved through her exploitation of particular indexical meanings associated with [t] and [ʔ]. 1 Introduction Individuals have the capacity to alter their speech in a number of subtle and more pronounced ways depending on the interactional context. This speaker-internal variation can be described as style-shifting, the systematic study of which allows sociolinguists to build up a picture of the structure of society as it is reflected in and created by language use.

  • Case Study the School Experiences of Children.Pdf
    A CASE STUDY: THE SCHOOL EXPERIENCES OF CHILDREN WITH LIFE-THREATENING FOOD-INDUCED ALLERGIES AND ANAPHYLAXIS AS PERCEIVED BY CHILDREN, PARENTS, TEACHERS, AND A SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR TIFFANY A. ROBERTS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY NIPISSING UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF EDUCATION NORTH BAY, ONTARIO, CANADA ©Tiffany A. Roberts May 2017 ii Abstract The purpose of my qualitative case study research was to examine the perceptions of children/teens, parents, teachers, and administrators around the school experiences of students with life-threatening food-induced allergies and anaphylaxis. In addition, I wondered how participants‘ lived experiences might serve to ameliorate educational policies and practices in schools so that all students who have food allergies and anaphylaxis can feel safe, cared for, and be available for learning. Using a purposive sample of convenience, 10 participants (including 3 children/teens, 4 parents, 2 teachers, and 1 administrator), were invited and agreed to participate in audio-recorded in-depth individual interviews around my study topic. My interpretation and analysis of interview data depicted complex connections between and among the following themes: allergy identity, safe-care strategies, labels and labelling, allergy communications, and ethical disconnects. Three recurring subthemes—time, trust, and transition, also emerged and are threaded throughout. At times, intense emotions punctuate the discourse as empathetic signposts for the reader. I conclude the study with suggestions for families and school communities so all might better support the physical, social, emotional, and academic needs of those living with life-threatening food allergies and anaphylaxis. “Allergy sufferers have special powers of perception.” ~ Gregg Mitman iii Acknowledgements CHILD and TEEN STUDY PARTICIPANTS ~ for your courage to share your stories PARENT, TEACHER, and ADMINISTRATOR STUDY PARTICIPANTS ~ for your openness and honesty DR.

  • Atrocious Advice from “
    Atrocious Advice from “Supernanny” (#) THE NATION May 23, 2005 Atrocious Advice from “Supernanny” By Alfie Kohn [This is a slightly expanded version of the published article, which was titled “Supernanny State.”] Pour lire cet article en français, cliquer ici. Para ler esse artigo em Português, clique aqui A despot welcomes a riot. Disorder provides an excuse to rescind liberties in order to restore calm. There are only two choices, after all: chaos and control. Even the creators of Get Smart understood that. And so, too, do the creators of Supernanny and Nanny 911. Each week they poke their cameras into a dysfunctional suburban home where the children are bouncing off the walls and the parents are ready to climb them. There’s whining, there’s yelling, there’s hitting . and the kids are just as bad. But wait. Look up there: It’s a bird. It’s a plain-dressed, no-nonsense British nanny, poised to swoop in with a prescription for old-fashioned control. Soon the clueless American parents will be comfortably back in charge, the children will be calm and compliant, and everyone will be sodden with gratitude. Cue the syrupy music, the slow-mo hugs, the peek at next week’s even more hopeless family. These programs elevate viewer manipulation to an art form. For starters, the selection of unusually obnoxious children invites us to enjoy a shiver of self-congratulation: At least my kids — and my parenting skills — aren’t that bad! More to the point, these anarchic families set us up to root for totalitarian solutions.
