    iii Title: The Perceptions of Native English Speakers Regarding Thai Nicknames Based on English Loanwords Author: Mr. Justin Akiyo Yoshida Degree: Master of Arts in English Language Studies Rajabhat Maha Sarakham University Advisors: Assistant Professor Dr. Sooksil Prasongsook Assistant Professor Dr. Mayureesirin Siriwan Year: 2019 ABSTRACT The objectives of this research were 1) to identify Thai nicknames that are loanwords from the English language within a sample group and 2) determine the reasons they were chosen. Another objective 3) was to determine how native English speakers perceive Thai nicknames. It was necessary to identify Thai nicknames that were loanwords from the English language, as well as determine if/ why English loanwords were purposefully chosen as nicknames. The methods for data collection were surveys of 155 parents and teachers of children with foreign nicknames and semi-structured interviews of 29 of that group. Determining how these nicknames were perceived by native English speakers was achieved by analyzing previous studies of nicknames and loanwords used by Thai speakers of English during conversation in English. Then, 100 native English speakers were surveyed and interviewed about what they thought of nicknames on the list collected in the first survey. The method of data analysis was content analysis and statistics were expressed in simple percentages. The results from the survey of parents at the chosen school showed that approximately one in six students had a nickname that may have originated from English. The main reasons nicknames were chosen were for (perceived) good meaning and how they sound. However, the results showed that many nicknames and meanings perceived to be NES ( Native English Speaker’ s) English by Thais are actually not, resulting in names that may sound strange or carry a negative meaning.

  • Concept and Rule Based Naming System
    Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology Volume 3, 2006 Concept and Rule Based Naming System Chakkrit Snae and Michael Brückner Naresuan University, Phitsanulok, Thailand [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Names are important in many societies, even in technologically oriented ones which use e.g. ID systems to identify individual people. There are many elements of personal names which vary in different cultures. Names such as surnames are the most important as they are used in many proc- esses, such as identifying of people and genealogical research. On the other hand variation of names can be a major problem for the identification and search for people, e.g. web search or se- curity reasons. We show name variations for different cultures to guide the implementation of a rule based naming system, currently worked out for Thai names. We characterize the LIG (Levenshtein, Index of Similarity Group (called ISG), and Guth) algorithms which help to find reasonable variants of names and use an ontology of names to capture the meaning of the variants which are based on Thai naming methodologies and rules. A further benefit of this process is an optimized name searching. Keywords: personal names, name variations, name matching, ontology, rule based system Introduction Names are used for identifying persons, places, things and even ideas or concepts. Names serve for labelling of categories or classes and for individual items. They are properties of individuals which are of greater importance in most communities. In technologically oriented societies such as modern Western the reference between a name as a label and the person is not as obvious as in small tribal societies.

    Dialectologia 19 (2017), 41-66. ISSN: 2013-2247 Received 11 March 2015. Accepted 10 June 2015. SIKH AND HINDU INDIAN THAI NAMING BY SEMANTIC DOMAINS Warintorn BENJASRI Mahidol University (Thailand)*∗ [email protected] Abstract This article will explore the traits of Sikh and Hindu Indian Thai naming by semantic domains. According to Nida (1975: 174), groups of meanings, such as names, which share a similar semantic component are known as semantic domains. Ottenheimer (2006: 19) saw a semantic domain as “a specific area of cultural emphasis”. The results of this study will shed light on the different worldviews of Hindus and Sikhs. The results show the semantic domain of Hindu Indian Thais’ naming is divided into 3 types; 1) entities, 2) abstract and 3) events in sequence. The semantic domains of Sikh Indian Thais naming is 1) abstract, 2) entities and 3) events in sequence.

  • A Guide to Names and Naming Practices
    March 2006 AA GGUUIIDDEE TTOO NN AAMMEESS AANNDD NNAAMMIINNGG PPRRAACCTTIICCEESS This guide has been produced by the United Kingdom to aid with difficulties that are commonly encountered with names from around the globe. Interpol believes that member countries may find this guide useful when dealing with names from unfamiliar countries or regions. Interpol is keen to provide feedback to the authors and at the same time develop this guidance further for Interpol member countries to work towards standardisation for translation, data transmission and data entry. The General Secretariat encourages all member countries to take advantage of this document and provide feedback and, if necessary, updates or corrections in order to have the most up to date and accurate document possible. A GUIDE TO NAMES AND NAMING PRACTICES 1. Names are a valuable source of information. They can indicate gender, marital status, birthplace, nationality, ethnicity, religion, and position within a family or even within a society. However, naming practices vary enormously across the globe. The aim of this guide is to identify the knowledge that can be gained from names about their holders and to help overcome difficulties that are commonly encountered with names of foreign origin. 2. The sections of the guide are governed by nationality and/or ethnicity, depending on the influencing factor upon the naming practice, such as religion, language or geography. Inevitably, this guide is not exhaustive and any feedback or suggestions for additional sections will be welcomed. How to use this guide 4. Each section offers structured guidance on the following: a. typical components of a name: e.g.

  • Thailand's Secret War: the Free Thai, OSS, and SOE During World War II
    Thailand’s Secret War This book is an absorbing account of secret operations and political intrigue in wartime Thailand. During World War II, Free Thai organi- zations cooperated with Allied intelligence agencies in an effort to rescue their nation from the consequences of its 1941 alliance with Japan. They largely succeeded despite internal differences and the conflicting inte- rests and policies of their would-be allies, China, Great Britain, and the United States. London’s determination to punish Thailand placed the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) at a serious disadvantage in its rivalry with the American Office of Strategic Services (OSS). The US State Department, in contrast, strongly supported OSS operations in Thailand, viewing them as a vehicle for promoting American political and economic influence in mainland Southeast Asia. Declassification of the records of the OSS and the SOE now permits full revelation of this complex story of heroic action and political intrigue. is Professor of History at San Jos´e State Uni- versity.
