    We can also trace that peculiar social movement which led some factories, ships, restaurants, and households to clean up their backstages to such an extent that, like monks, Communists, or German aldermen, their guards are always up and there is no place where their front is down, while at the same time members of the audience become sufficiently entranced with the society's id to explore the places that had been cleaned up for them [Erving Goffman, The Presentation of Self (New York: Anchor Press, 1959), p. 247].

Whitfield first produced the song — a blatant anti-Vietnam War protest — with The Temptations as the original vocalists. After Motown began receiving repeated requests to release "War" as a single, Whitfield re-recorded the song with Edwin Starr as the vocalist, deciding to withhold the Temptations ' version so as not to alienate their more conservative fans.

  • THE MEDIA's INFLUENCE on SUCCESS and FAILURE of DIALECTS: the CASE of CANTONESE and SHAAN'xi DIALECTS Yuhan Mao a Thesis Su
    THE MEDIA’S INFLUENCE ON SUCCESS AND FAILURE OF DIALECTS: THE CASE OF CANTONESE AND SHAAN’XI DIALECTS Yuhan Mao A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (Language and Communication) School of Language and Communication National Institute of Development Administration 2013 ABSTRACT Title of Thesis The Media’s Influence on Success and Failure of Dialects: The Case of Cantonese and Shaan’xi Dialects Author Miss Yuhan Mao Degree Master of Arts in Language and Communication Year 2013 In this thesis the researcher addresses an important set of issues - how language maintenance (LM) between dominant and vernacular varieties of speech (also known as dialects) - are conditioned by increasingly globalized mass media industries. In particular, how the television and film industries (as an outgrowth of the mass media) related to social dialectology help maintain and promote one regional variety of speech over others is examined. These issues and data addressed in the current study have the potential to make a contribution to the current understanding of social dialectology literature - a sub-branch of sociolinguistics - particularly with respect to LM literature. The researcher adopts a multi-method approach (literature review, interviews and observations) to collect and analyze data. The researcher found support to confirm two positive correlations: the correlative relationship between the number of productions of dialectal television series (and films) and the distribution of the dialect in question, as well as the number of dialectal speakers and the maintenance of the dialect under investigation. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author would like to express sincere thanks to my advisors and all the people who gave me invaluable suggestions and help.

MENGDIAN 萌典 ONLINE DICTIONARY AND 211 THESAURUS BIBLIOGRAPHY PREFACE There are those who believe that Taiwanese and related Hokkien dialects are just spoken and not written, and can only be passed down orally from one generation to the next. Historically, this was the case with most Non-Mandarin Chinese languages. Grammatical literacy in Chinese characters was primarily through Classical Chinese until the early 1900's. Romanization in Hokkien began in the early 1600's with the work of Spanish and later English missionaries with Hokkien-speaking Chinese communities in the Philippines and Malaysia.

  • Janet Yong University of Malaya
    Associate Professor Janet Yong University of Malaya Abstract The language diversity of Penang Hokkien – a hybrid of native Malay and Hokkien dialect loan words. Penang Hokkien is a typical dialect spoken only on the island of Penang by the Chinese who have settled there since the 16th century. Unlike the Malacca Peranakan or Baba Malay, many of the Penang Peranakan did not have mixed Malay heritage, and the Penang Peranakan community has also tended to remain more Chinese than the Baba Malay. The Baba Malay language is a Malay-based creole of mixed low Malay and Hokkien Chinese colloquialisms. Penang Hokkien, on the other hand, is Chinese-based but has absorbed Malay linguistic influences. The Penang Peranakan have developed a language that is a cross between native Malay and Hokkien dialect loan words. When the two languages merged, extensive borrowing from either languages is unavoidable. However, linguistic borrowing in Penang Hokkien is far from being always a necessity. Words and phrases are used creatively, spontaneously and habitually in a hybrid style. This paper discusses the unique phonological, morphological and lexical traits of Penang Hokkien words, phrases and expressions. Nine categories of borrowing from Malay are found: complete borrowing of a whole word, partial copying but retaining its Hokkien Chinese element, complete borrowing with syllable deletion, half a word borrowing, sound change (voice to voiceless and vice versa), either first or last consonant change, vowel change, shortening in the borrowing and switch in word order (Malay to Chinese word order)..

  • A Study of Penang Peranakan Hokkien
    A STUDY OF PENANG PERANAKAN HOKKIEN Teoh Boon Seong Singapore Management University Lim Beng Soon National Institute of Education Singapore Lee Liang Hye Abstract This paper attempts to classify the loan words in Penang Peranakan Hokkien. a creole variety of Hokkien, according to classifications as objects and formal grammatical categories. The study is based on a word list of about 400 Malay words taken from a Penang Peranakan famHy and commonly found in this variety. The paper concludes with some observations of current trends in Penang Peranakan Hokkien. Introduction The main objective of this paper is to classify Malay words used in a creole variety of Hokkien spoken mainly in the northern states of peninsular Malay­ sia, namely Penang, Kedah and northern Perak. This variety of creolised Chi­ nese dialect of Hokkien is generally referred to as the Penang Peranakan 170 JOURNAL OF MODERN LANGUAGES Hokkien(hencefotth PPH). This paper attempts to classify the loan words found in PPH according to classifications as objects and formal grammati­ cal categories. The study is based on a word list of about 400 Malay words commonly found in PPH. The list is by no means exhaustive, however, this corpus which exceeds 400 word is sufficient to provide an insight into the function of borrowed Malay word in PPH. The data used in this study was collected in a Penang Peranak.n family through observation and interviews with the elderly members of the Peranakan community. The main consultants are the family members of Mr Lim, who to the best our knowledge, are Peranakan Hokkien speakers of four generations.
