A Study on Compliments in Thai: a Case of the Blind Auditions “The Voice Senior Thailand Season 1”
Journal of Pan-Pacific Association of Applied Linguistics, 24(2), 37-68. https:// doi.org/10.25256/PAAL.24.2.3 A Study on Compliments in Thai: A Case of the Blind Auditions “the Voice Senior Thailand Season 1” Sakulrat Worathumrong Worathumrong, S. (2020). A study on compliments in Thai: A case of the blind auditions “the Voice Senior Thailand Season 1”. Journal of Pan-Pacific Association of Applied Linguistics, 24(2), 37-68. This study investigates the initial encounters of 30 Thai senior citizens and the four Thai musician-celebrity coaches in the blind auditions of “the Voice Senior Thailand season 1”. The analysis was drawn from studies on compliments, politeness, and face work. The analysis found that both overt-oriented and covert-oriented compliments were used extensively when the coaches evaluated the senior contestants’ vocal performances. The use of such compliments exhibits the shift from a distant relationship to a closer one. The prominent use of covert-oriented compliments as face-maintenance and face-enhancing strategies and as distance-minimization or imposition-mitigation strategies (Blum-Kulka, 2005) suggests rapport management between the four coaches and the senior contestants. Such interconnectedness of the multidirectional functions of compliments in Thai as well as face and politeness found in this study could exemplify how both younger and older generations of Thai people interact to form and shape a closer relationship in their first encounters in contemporary Thai language. This study could shed some lights on cross-cultural studies of complimenting behaviors and politeness in similar contexts or in other contexts related to younger and older generations in aging societies (e.g., workplace contexts or senior- education settings). -
Young Americans to Emotional Rescue: Selected Meetings
YOUNG AMERICANS TO EMOTIONAL RESCUE: SELECTING MEETINGS BETWEEN DISCO AND ROCK, 1975-1980 Daniel Kavka A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2010 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Katherine Meizel © 2010 Daniel Kavka All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Disco-rock, composed of disco-influenced recordings by rock artists, was a sub-genre of both disco and rock in the 1970s. Seminal recordings included: David Bowie’s Young Americans; The Rolling Stones’ “Hot Stuff,” “Miss You,” “Dance Pt.1,” and “Emotional Rescue”; KISS’s “Strutter ’78,” and “I Was Made For Lovin’ You”; Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy“; and Elton John’s Thom Bell Sessions and Victim of Love. Though disco-rock was a great commercial success during the disco era, it has received limited acknowledgement in post-disco scholarship. This thesis addresses the lack of existing scholarship pertaining to disco-rock. It examines both disco and disco-rock as products of cultural shifts during the 1970s. Disco was linked to the emergence of underground dance clubs in New York City, while disco-rock resulted from the increased mainstream visibility of disco culture during the mid seventies, as well as rock musicians’ exposure to disco music. My thesis argues for the study of a genre (disco-rock) that has been dismissed as inauthentic and commercial, a trend common to popular music discourse, and one that is linked to previous debates regarding the social value of pop music. -
Star Academy Middle School Guide 2021 - 2022 PROGRAM and SCHEDULE
Star Academy Middle School Guide 2021 - 2022 PROGRAM AND SCHEDULE Capture Curiosity. Develop Potential. Our Philosophy The best for you & your growing child Our goal is to maximize your children’s academic opportunities during school time, so that families can have their evenings and weekends free to enjoy being together. The Directors of Star Academy have the child’s interests in mind, and also value the interests of the parents. Our extensive school curriculum exposes the children to many different spheres of knowledge and experiential learning during the daytime -- prime time for learning. As a result, many extraneous after school activities become unnecessary. However for those still looking for additional electives, the after school program has ample offerings all under one roof. Thus, we take away the burden of shuffling schedules, circuitous driving, and no family time or weekend time to yourselves. Mission Statement The Star Academy’s primary objective is to capture a child’s natural curiosity and to develop his/her potential as a lifelong learner. Our educational goals are based on our thoughtfully planned recognition of what the parents need for their children and what children need to succeed. Our Philosophy Each child carries tremendous potential within. Our goal at Star Academy is to gently lead each child to realize their innate potential at the highest degree. We teach children to problem solve, develop their social skills, and to steer their natural curiosity toward true knowledge. We strive to accomplish this through: -

There is where they should be. Now put foundations under them." – Henry David Thoreau "Any great work of art . revives and readapts time and space, and the measure of its success is the extent to which it makes you an inhabitant of that world -- the extent to which it invites you in and lets you breathe its strange, special air." - Leonard Bernstein "We believe that not every song, not every artist, not every album, is created equal."- Edgar Bronfman Jr., Chairman, Warner Music Group In our other articles, we've had an overview of Parameters and Roles, and we’re ready to look at one more paradigm -- that which deals with the parameters of why songs achieve or fail to achieve commercial and/or artistic success. This paradigm will be known as the Four Faders, using an analogy we’re all familiar with: the controls on a mixing board (see diagram below). For any song you can name, someone will say "It’s a great song !" -- For any song, there will always be at least one person, besides the writer and his/her circle of friends, who thinks so. -

April 15, 2021 The Honorable Deb Haaland Department of the Interior 1849 C Street, N.W. Washington DC 20240 Dear Secretary Haaland: We write in support of the Antiquities Act and the critical role it plays in protecting our nation’s most important and endangered places. Since 1906, sixteen presidents have used the Antiquities Act to protect places across our nation. From Chaco Canyon in New Mexico to Harriet Tubman’s house in Maryland, the Antiquities Act has long protected key landscapes and historical sites. National monuments protect our most precious natural, cultural, and historical resources, and threats to the integrity of any monuments established under the Antiquities Act threaten the protection of all monuments. During your confirmation process, you committed to undertaking a thorough review of the Antiquities Act proclamations of the previous Administration. Former President Trump illegally attempted to reduce the protections provided by proclamations that previous presidents issued. We urge you to defend the Antiquities Act and recommend that President Biden review President Trump’s actions and undo any unlawful attacks on the Antiquities Act. We thank you for your commitment to the conservation of our nation’s most important places and history. Sincerely, _______________________________/s/ Martin Heinrich _______________________________/s/ Ben Ray Luján Martin Heinrich Ben Ray Luján United States Senator United States Senator _______________________________/s/ RichardTammy BaldwinJ.
