The Effect of Communication Mode on Story Recall Maria C. Hartman Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the D
The Effect of Communication Mode on Story Recall Maria C. Hartman Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Maria C. Hartman All rights reserved ABSTRACT Effect of Communication Mode on Story Recall Maria C. Hartman Most learning occurs in social contexts through interaction with other people. Such learning is possible only when individuals are able to communicate with understanding. Currently, the most commonly used mode of communication for instruction in schools for the deaf in the United States is a bimodal form of signs and speech referred to as “simultaneous communication” (SIMCOM). Numerous studies have addressed the practicability of teachers’ attempts to produce this mode for instruction, but fewer have attempted to understand its impact on deaf children’s comprehension. This study examined the effect of communication mode on story recall performance in thirty-six 11- to 14-year-old deaf students. Participants were presented with a series of short stories “bimodally” (using simultaneous sign and speech/SIMCOM) and “unimodally” (using sign only) and then asked to recall whatever they could remember. A within-subjects analysis was used to examine the differences in recall scores as a function of communication mode. Analysis of secondary variables was included to note effects on the dependent variable. Mode of participants’ response was also coded and analyzed. Results of the study showed statistically significant differences in the mean story-retell scores between the two conditions, with participants scoring higher during the sign-only condition than in the SIMCOM condition. -
William Carlos Williams' Indian Son(G)
The News from That Strange, Far Away Land: William Carlos Williams’ Indian Son(g) Graziano Krätli YALE UNIVERSITY 1. In his later years, William Carlos Williams entertained a long epistolary relationship with the Indian poet Srinivas Rayaprol (1925-98), one of a handful who contributed to the modernization of Indian poetry in English in the first few decades after the independence from British rule. The two met only once or twice, but their correspondence, started in the fall of 1949, when Rayaprol was a graduate student at Stanford University, continued long after his return to India, ending only a few years before Williams’ passing. Although Williams had many correspondents in his life, most of them more important and better known literary figures than Rayaprol, the young Indian from the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh was one of the very few non-Americans and the only one from a postcolonial country with a long and glorious literary tradition of its own. More important, perhaps, their correspondence occurred in a decade – the 1950s – in which a younger generation of Indian poets writing in English was assimilating the lessons of Anglo-American Modernism while increasingly turning their attention away from Britain to America. Rayaprol, doubly advantaged by virtue of “being there” (i.e., in the Bay Area at the beginning of the San Francisco Renaissance) and by his mentoring relationship with Williams, was one of the very first to imbibe the new poetic idiom from its sources, and also one of the most persistent in trying to keep those sources alive and meaningful, to him if not to his fellow poets in India. -

<Begin new recto> <AT> (Sub)lexical changes in iconic signs to realign with community sensibilities and experiences Commented [AS1]: What would you like the page header title to be? This is too long. Can you come up with a shortened version that expresses your title? Maybe just “(Sub)lexical changes in iconic <AU>GENE MIRUS signs”? Thanks! Commented [DJN2R1]: (Sub)lexical changes as corrections <AA>Gallaudet University, USA <AU>JAMI FISHER <AA>University of Pennsylvania, USA <AU>DONNA JO NAPOLI <AA>Swarthmore College, USA <AB>ABSTRACT <TX>Sign language lexicons include iconic items, where phonological form is somewhat representative of sense. As experiences of individuals change, the mapping from form to meaning may become inappropriate (as when technological or environmental changes occur) or may be considered incongruous with perceptions of reality (as when culture shifts). Many misalignments of form and sense are tolerated, with the result that a sign’s original iconicity is lost. Other misalignments are obliterated; signers make sublexical changes or entire lexical substitutions. We call these (sub)lexical changes ‘corrections’. We argue that misalignments that are regrettable are more likely to be corrected, where regrettable misalignments are those that are not true to realities/experiences of profound importance to deaf individuals. While the focus here is on American Sign Language, corrections should be apparent in any sign language and might occur in those spoken languages with a high frequency of 1 nonarbitrary relationships between form and sense. (Sign language, variation, taboo terms, euphemism, iconicity, identity)* <A>INTRODUCTION <TX>Iconicity in sign language lexicons is high, where there is a nonarbitrary relationship between form and sense. -

The Development of Dylan Thomas' Use of Private Symbolism in Poetry A.Nne" Marie Delap Master of Arts
THE DEVELOPMENT OF DYLAN THOMAS' USE OF PRIVATE SYMBOLISM IN POETRY By A.NNE" MARIE DELAP \\ Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1964 ~ubmitted to the faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1967 0DAHOMI STATE IJIIVERsifi'li' 1-~BR,AYRV dlNlQN THE DEVELOPMENT OF DYLAN THOMAS O USE OF PRIVATE SYMBOLISM IN POETRY Thesis Approved: n n 11,~d Dean of the Graduate College 658670 f.i PREFACE In spite of numerous explications that have been written about Dylan Thomas' poems, there has been little attention given the growth and change in his symbolism. This study does not pretend to be comprehensive, but will atte~pt, within the areas designated by the titles of chapters 2, 3, and 4, to trace this development. The terms early 129ems and later poems will apply to the poetry finished before and after 1939, which was the year of the publication of The Map tl Love. A number of Thomas• mature poems existed in manu- script form before 1939, but were rewritten and often drastically altered before appearing in their final form. .,After the funera1° ' i is one of these: Thomas conceived the idea for the poem in 1933, but its final form, which appeared in The Map .Q! ~' represents a complete change from the early notebook version. Poem titles which appear in this study have been capitalized according to standard prac- tice, except when derived from the first line of a poem; in thes,e cases only the first word is capitalized. -
11 Ronald Mar and the Trope of Life
11 Ronald Mar and the Trope of Life The Translation of Western Modernist Poetry in Hong Kong Chris Song Abstract This essay examines the Chinese-language debut of Western surrealist poetry in Hong Kong and its effect on the local poetry scene through the work of Ronald Mar 馬朗, from the early years of the Cold War era onward. It traces the trope of poetry being “true to life” – as resistance to the surrealist influence – through evolving notions and experiences of Hong Kong identity over time, up to the present day in the post-handover era. Keywords: Chinese poetry, translation, Ronald Mar, Hong Kong, modern- ism, surrealism Twenty years since the handover of sovereignty from the British Crown to the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong society has known increasingly severe conflicts with China, fueled by animosity toward the mainland among the local population. Growing up in such a politically intense environment, Hong Kong youths feel that political and economic systems have conspired to leave them a hopeless future. As their demand for universal suffrage in the election of the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government was denied in September 2014, their anxiety finally broke into realization as the Umbrella Movement. Apart from responding through poetry to this large democratic movement, some young local poets perceived a need to redefine the “localness” of Hong Kong poetry. Though without much theoretical depth, their quest is quite clear: they believe that the localness of their poetic language lies, paradoxically, in the distance from external reality – a symbolic denial of the Umbrella Movement’s failed demands for universal suffrage, or any further realistic democratization, in Van Crevel, Maghiel and Lucas Klein (eds.), Chinese Poetry and Translation: Rights and Wrongs. -
Variation and Change in English Varieties of British Sign Languagei
Variation and change in English varieties of BSL 1 Variation and change in English varieties of British Sign Languagei Adam Schembri, Rose Stamp, Jordan Fenlon and Kearsy Cormier British Sign Language (BSL) is the language used by the deaf community in the United Kingdom. In this chapter, we describe sociolinguistic variation and change in BSL varieties in England. This will show how factors that drive sociolinguistic variation and change in both spoken and signed language communities are broadly similar. Social factors include, for example, a signer’s age group, region of origin, gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic status (e.g., Lucas, Valli & Bayley 2001). Linguistic factors include assimilation and co-articulation effects (e.g., Schembri et al. 2009; Fenlon et al. 2013). It should be noted, however, some factors involved in sociolinguistic variation in sign languages are distinctive. For example, phonological variation includes features, such as whether a sign is produced with one or two hands, which have no direct parallel in spoken language phonology. In addition, deaf signing communities are invariably minority communities embedded within larger majority communities whose languages are in another entirely different modality and which may have written systems, unlike sign languages. Some of the linguistic outcomes of this contact situation (such as the use of individual signs for letters to spell out written words on the hands, known as fingerspelling) are unique to such communities (Lucas & Valli 1992). This picture is further complicated by patterns of language transmission which see many deaf individuals acquiring sign languages as first languages at a much later age than hearing individuals (e.g., Cormier et al. -

A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD Department of English and Creative Writing Roehampton University 2018 DAVIES 2 Abstract stack: Minimalist Poetics consists of a portfolio of practice-led research — a volume-length minimalist poem entitled stack — and a critical essay. The poem applies and adapts several minimalist writing strategies, which are evaluated in the critical essay to create a text that is rich in imagery yet indeterminate in meaning. In addition, stack is innovative in its structural approach — through original use of enjambment, footnoting and repetition, lines may be treated as discrete entities and, also, as combinations. A key research question that the practice- led component and the critical essay interrogate is the applicability and development of the poetics of the “New Sentence”, and other formally innovative approaches in the field of minimalist writing The first part of the critical essay contextualises the creative portfolio in relation to the field of minimalist poetics as a whole.
