  • As Heard on TV
    Hugvísindasvið As Heard on TV A Study of Common Breaches of Prescriptive Grammar Rules on American Television Ritgerð til BA-prófs í Ensku Ragna Þorsteinsdóttir Janúar 2013 2 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Enska As Heard on TV A Study of Common Breaches of Prescriptive Grammar Rules on American Television Ritgerð til BA-prófs í Ensku Ragna Þorsteinsdóttir Kt.: 080288-3369 Leiðbeinandi: Pétur Knútsson Janúar 2013 3 Abstract In this paper I research four grammar variables by watching three seasons of American television programs, aired during the winter of 2010-2011: How I Met Your Mother, Glee, and Grey’s Anatomy. For background on the history of prescriptive grammar, I discuss the grammarian Robert Lowth and his views on the English language in the 18th century in relation to the status of the language today. Some of the rules he described have become obsolete or were even considered more of a stylistic choice during the writing and editing of his book, A Short Introduction to English Grammar, so reviewing and revising prescriptive grammar is something that should be done regularly. The goal of this paper is to discover the status of the variables ―to lay‖ versus ―to lie,‖ ―who‖ versus ―whom,‖ ―X and I‖ versus ―X and me,‖ and ―may‖ versus ―might‖ in contemporary popular media, and thereby discern the validity of the prescriptive rules in everyday language. Every instance of each variable in the three programs was documented and attempted to be determined as correct or incorrect based on various rules. Based on the numbers gathered, the usage of three of the variables still conforms to prescriptive rules for the most part, while the word ―whom‖ has almost entirely yielded to ―who‖ when the objective is called for.

    THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS LIBRARY FAfclf I Historical Sanref Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/privatejoefiferOOfife A BIRTHDAY GREETING This little volume relates experiences in my father's long and varied life and gives his views on many subjects on which those experiences enable him to speak with authority. It contains interviews with him published in the Chicago Tribune on December 29, 1935, and January 5, 1936, and now supplemented by Mr. Bennett with a record of other visits father had with one whom he fondly calls "My Young Comrade." With the permission of the Tribune these understanding and sympathetic interviews regarding events covering almost a century are published in book form by the family as a greeting to father and a remembrance for his friends on this happy birthday anniversary. Florence Fifer Bohrer. Bloomington, Illinois, October 28, 1936: The ninety-sixth birthday of Joseph W. Fifer. Two and a half centuries ago the family noiv repre- sented by Illinois' "Grand old man" went from Ger- many to America in the history-making emigration which colonized on the basis of good morals and sound economics the province of Pennsylvania. The leader of the German pioneers who were to join with William Penn in the building of a state was the wise and righteous young lawyer, Francis Daniel Pastorius, whom Whittier consecrates in his beautiful poem. "The Pennsylvania Pilgrim." In the eighteenth century the Fifers moved ivest- ward into the Shenandoah valley of Virginia and built many little grist mills from Harper s Ferry on down to Staunton, where Joseph Wilson Fifer was born in 1840.

  • Queer Identities and Glee
    IDENTITY AND SOLIDARITY IN ONLINE COMMUNITIES: QUEER IDENITIES AND GLEE Katie M. Buckley 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 2014 Committee: Katherine Meizel, Advisor Kara Attrep Megan Rancier © 2014 Katie Buckley All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine Meizel, Advisor Glee, a popular FOX television show that began airing in 2009, has continuously pushed the limits of what is acceptable on American television. This musical comedy, focusing on a high school glee club, incorporates numerous stereotypes and real-world teenage struggles. This thesis focuses on the queer characteristics of four female personalities: Santana, Brittany, Coach Beiste, and Coach Sue. I investigate how their musical performances are producing a constructive form of mass media by challenging hegemonic femininity through camp and by producing relatable queer female role models. In addition, I take an ethnographic approach by examining online fan blogs from the host site Tumblr. By reading the blogs as a digital archive and interviewing the bloggers, I show the positive and negative effects of an online community and the impact this show has had on queer girls, allies, and their worldviews. iv This work is dedicated to any queer human being who ever felt alone as a teenager. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to extend my greatest thanks to my teacher and advisor, Dr. Meizel, for all of her support through the writing of this thesis and for always asking the right questions to keep me thinking. I would also like to thank Dr.
