Part of this initiative also includes seeking input from the frequent, infrequent and non-riders through online, intercept and focus group studies that will guide Caltrain efforts in providing the ultimate customer experience. In this first online survey, Caltrain asked the general public to rate and identify priorities, and provide ridership and demographic information. This is not a statistically valid study but it’s the first step to help Caltrain’s improvement process. The results of this survey will inform the questions on the next statistically valid Customer Satisfaction Survey in June. The last study of this series will be a focus group in which Caltrain will test some of the possible improvements and ensure they make a positive impact on riders’ daily use of the system. 1 Methodology The study was developed and launched in Survey Monkey (an online survey tool) as an opt-in survey, meaning that customers (and the general public) could choose to click on the link and complete the survey.

    'Female' Vulgarity: an Example of the Use of Linguistic Markers in an Episode of NBC's Parks and Recreation

    Framing ‘female’ vulgarity: an example of the use of linguistic markers in an episode of NBC’s Parks and Recreation. Pierre Habasque Résumé Le terme « vulgaire » peut faire référence à ce qui est choquant, grossier ou fruste, et fait nécessairement appel à des critères subjectifs ; il est en cela idéologique. Cet article se propose d’étudier comment le vulgaire peut se manifester linguistiquement par l’utilisation de marqueurs syntaxiques, lexicaux, et de deux marqueurs prosodiques : la voix craquée (creaky voice) et le contour intonatif montant (High Rising Terminal). Le corpus est composé de scènes issues d’un épisode de la série télévisée Parks and Recreation (saison 6, épisode 4), diffusée aux États-Unis sur NBC. Les marqueurs linguistiques sont utilisés à des fins humoristiques afin de créer l’image d’un personnage féminin frivole et écervelé grâce à un processus d’accommodation feinte. Il est suggéré que ceci n’est possible que parce que plusieurs de ces marqueurs sont à la fois susceptibles d’être stigmatisés, et qu’ils peuvent être perçus comme typiquement féminins. Mots-clés vulgarité, High Rising Terminal, voix craquée, enregisterment, accommodation Abstract “Vulgarity” is a term that may refer to what is offensive, coarse or unrefined, and therefore necessarily appeals to subjective criteria; vulgarity is in this sense intrinsically ideological. This article explores how vulgarity may be expressed linguistically. Analysis centers on the use of syntactic and lexical markers, as well as two prosodic markers: creaky voice and the High Rising Terminal contour (HRT). The corpus is composed of scenes from an episode of NBC’s television series Parks and Recreation (season 6, episode 4).

    Volume 4, Issue 2 Article 3 2018 Keeping up with Hollywood’s Valley Girls: A Lifespan Study Exploring the Kardashian Sisters’ Use of Traditional and Non-Traditional Likes Iris Bakker [email protected] ISSN: 2057-1720 doi: 10.2218/ls.v4i2.2018.2914 This paper is available at: http://journals.ed.ac.uk/lifespansstyles Hosted by The University of Edinburgh Journal Hosting Service: http://journals.ed.ac.uk/ Keeping up with Hollywood’s Valley Girls: A Lifespan Study Exploring the Kardashian Sisters’ Use of Traditional and Non-Traditional Likes Iris Bakker This paper looks at traditional and non-traditional (stigmatised) variations of like through a 10-year longitudinal panel study using the readily available speech of reality stars Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian. With this unique dataset, this paper compares their use of traditional and non-traditional likes and looks at possible patterns to further understand age-based correlations of these features. An analysis of the data shows a relatively stable trend in their use of non-traditional likes, supporting theories that suggest the feature is not subject to the lifespan change associated with age-grading. Speech accommodation theory is proposed as an explanation for the patterns found. 1 Introduction The incredibly versatile like fulfils many different grammatical functions and has various different meanings. Standard, traditional uses of like are as a verb, noun, adverb, conjunction, or suffix (D’Arcy 2007). More non- standard, non-traditional forms are the quotative like, introducing direct speech, and the discourse marker and particle like, supposedly randomly inserted into sentences (D’Arcy 2007). The history of these non-traditional likes is not exactly known, although it is often suggested that they are recent additions to the English language and were introduced and popularised in California, with the so-called “Valley Girls” (D’Arcy 2007).
