Scholars Day Abstracts Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Achievement (URSA) Presents Scholars Day Abstracts April 4th - April 7th, 2011 Dear Colleagues: Welcome to Baylor’s fourth annual celebration of undergraduate research. Scholars Week began as Scholars Day and continues to expand each year, a testament to the vibrant teaching and learning partnerships our students enjoy with Baylor faculty. Individual mentoring that extends beyond the classroom is a hallmark of the Baylor undergraduate experience. The presentations in this program are proof positive that our faculty continues to excel at building those relationships, providing our undergraduates with transformative academic challenges that will continue to impact them for the rest of their lives. Thanks for your participation in this celebration of Baylor students and faculty. Truell W.

The capacity of these households to respond and adjust successfully to these events, or their resilience, depends on a range of factors. This project examines the following variables: occupational diversity and stability, social connectedness and willingness of family and friends to aid each other in times of crisis, and the frequency and intensity of food shortages – as they all influence how people adjust in the aftermath of a climate-related shock or events. We hypothesize that occupational stability enables households to secure financial resources after a shock that then allows them to repair and/or rebuild, while households that are more vulnerable in terms of employment resort to social networks for assistance and may have delays in addressing property loss. Abby Byrd Faculty Mentor: Professor Carol Macaulay Living on the Leon – A Comparative Study of Hunter-Gatherer Housing Structures (Anthropology, Forensic Science and Archaeology) During excavations at the Upper Sprague site in Hamilton County, the Baylor Archaeological Field School discovered remains of a possible wattle and daub structure. Feature Five is an arc-shaped concentration of burned daub which arcs through three units. Its north-south extent is approximately 100cm and its east-west extent is slightly less. Many burned daub nodules exhibiting stick impressions were also recovered. Despite the paucity of hunter-gatherer structures in the archaeological record, Binford (1990) states, “There are no known cases among modern hunter-gatherers where shelter is not fabricated in residential sites, regardless of the expected occupational duration.” It is my goal to compare Feature Five to other hunter-gatherer structures discussed in the archaeological literature. Structures used for comparison include those found at an Apache site (Seymour 2007), !Kung sites (Lee and DeVore 1976), Kua sites (Kroll and Price 1991), and various Central Texas prehistoric sites. Alexis Casiano Faculty Mentor: Professor Carol Macaulay Evidence of Deer-Hide Processing Activities at the Upper Sprague Site in Hamilton County, Texas (Anthropology, Forensic Science and Archaeology) Three features were encountered in Area D of the Upper Sprague site (41HM54) in Hamilton County during the Baylor 2008-2009 Archaeological Field Schools. Features 10 and 12 are shallow basins, one meter in length, 80cm in width, and 15cm in depth. These were side by side, at the same elevation and oriented in the same direction. Feature 11, located adjacent to Features 10 and 12, is a circular pit containing charcoal. This pit is similar in size to those documented by Binford (1967) as smudge pits used to smoke hides. In order to understand the purpose of these three features, the hypothesis put forward in this presentation postulates that the two shallow basins and the pit hearth found at Area D represent deer hide processing facilities – soaking basins and a ‘smudge pit.’ Ethno-historic accounts and experimental hide processing found in the archaeological literature support the hypothesis presented here. 1 Ashley Durham Faculty Mentor: Professor Carol Macaulay Analysis of the Lithic Artifacts Recovered from the Upper Sprague Site, Area D, Hamilton County, Texas (Anthropology, Forensic Science and Archaeology) During the 2007-2010 Baylor University Archaeological Field Schoolsat the Upper Sprague site, Area D (41HM54) in Hamilton County, we recovered many projectile points and stone tools dating to the Austin and Toyah Intervals of the Late Prehistoric Period. This poster outlines the methods we used in the analysis of the lithic assemblage, and presents photographs of the projectile points, formal tools and utilized flakes. Spatial analysis, using Spatial Analyst (a function of ArcMap [ArcGIS 9]), displays the distribution of formal tools and density of lithic debitage (primary, secondary, tertiary, and heat-treated flakes) across the excavation block. These analyses provide information on tool-use and maintenance at the site. Chelsea Garrett Faculty Mentor: Dr. Lori Baker Maya Sacrifice in Guatemala: An Osteobiography (Anthropology, Forensic Science and Archaeology) Human sacrifice is a practice that has occurred in the Maya world for thousands of years. There are diverse styles of ritual and reasoning behind the act of human sacrifice among the Maya regions. Regardless, there are similarities in what anthropologists are describing as sacrifice and how to distinguish it from other mortuary practices. The Maya of Guatemala performed ritual sacrifice for many reasons, primarily to please the gods in times of crisis; however, other reasons consist of violence in warfare and companion burial involving royal figures. This project consists of a skeletal analysis of a Maya sacrifice (burial 14) from

  • On the Source of the Infinitive in Romance-Derived Pidgins and Creoles
    On the source of the infinitive in Romance-derived pidgins and creoles John M. Lipski The Pennsylvania State University Introduction A recent comic strip, resuscitating racial stereotypes which had purportedly disappeared at least a century ago, depicted a dialogue between a Spanish priest and an outrageous parody of an African `native.' The latter begins by addressing the priest as follows: Yo estar muy enojado. Yo haber tenido 10 hijos, "todos de color"! Ahora el 11vo. nacer blanco! Ud. ser el único hombre blanco en 200 km. Ud. deber "EXPLICARME." [I am very angry. I've had ten children, "all colored!" Now the 11th one has been born white! You are the only white man within 200 km. You must "explain to me."] This stereotype is confirmed by independent observations. Ferguson (1971: 143-4) says that `a speaker of Spanish who wishes to communicate with a foreigner who has little or no Spanish will typically use the infinitive of the verb or the third singular rather than the usual inflected forms, and he will use mi `my' for yo `I' and omit the definite and indefinite articles: mi ver soldado `me [to-] see soldier' for yo veo al soldado `I see the soldier.' Such Spanish is felt by native speakers of the language to be the way foreigners talk, and it can most readily be elicited from Spanish-speaking informants by asking them how foreigners speak.' Thompson (1991) presented native speakers of Spanish with options as how to address a newly-hired employee who spoke little Spanish. A large number of respondents preferred sentences with bare

    S. Schlumpf. Hacia el reconocimiento del español de Guinea Ecuatorial Estudios de Lingüística del Español 37 (2016), pp. 217-233 Hacia el reconocimiento del español de Guinea Ecuatorial Sandra Schlumpf Universität Basel [email protected] Resumen En esta contribución se trata el estatus del español de Guinea Ecuatorial en el conjunto de las variedades de la lengua española. Partiendo de investigaciones y publicaciones previas, en los primeros apartados se resumen posibles razones que pueden explicar el amplio desconocimiento y las valoraciones negativas del español de Guinea Ecuatorial en el mundo hispanohablante. Se exponen motivos sociohistóricos, políticos, geográficos y lingüísticos, y se repasan (y refutan) diferentes prejuicios y calificaciones desfavorables acerca del español ecuatoguineano, que han contribuido a su posición marginal en la dialectología española. A continuación, se subraya la importancia del español de Guinea Ecuatorial para la investigación sobre las variedades hispanas, se resumen sus rasgos lingüísticos definitorios, que permiten considerarlo como dialecto propio, y se señala su relevancia para los estudios afrohispánicos. El artículo cierra con unas líneas de conclusión en las que se destacan algunos avances recientes en el proceso hacia el reconocimiento del español de Guinea Ecuatorial. Palabras clave: Dialectología española, español de Guinea Ecuatorial, estudios afrohispánicos, política lingüística, prejuicios lingüísticos. Abstract This article treats the status of the Spanish of Equatorial Guinea in comparison with other varieties of the Spanish language. Based on previous research and publications, the first paragraphs discuss possible reasons that may explain the widespread ignorance about and the negative attitude towards the Spanish of Equatorial Guinea in the Spanish-speaking world.

  • The Virginian's Cultural Clashes
    The Virginian’s Cultural Clashes A Study of Cultural Representation in Owen Wister’s novel The Virginian By Karoline Aksnes Master’s Thesis Department of Foreign Languages University of Bergen November 2012 Samandrag på Norsk Denne oppgåva tek føre seg korleis kulturelle ulikskapar er framstilte i Owen Wister sin roman The Virginian frå 1902. Handlinga i boka utspelar seg i dei nyleg etablerte vestlege grensetraktene av USA, der immigrantar frå ymse kulturelle og sosiale samfunnslag samlast og saman skal skapa eit felles samfunn. Dei tre hovudkarakterane i romanen representerer ulike kulturelle perspektiv og ambisjonar for korleis eit samfunn bør vera, og desse ulike verdiane vert knytte til den sentrale konflikten mellom den amerikanske vesten og den etablerte austkysten. Usemja mellom dei to motståande verdisyna kjem særskilt fram i problemstillingar som gjeld næringsgrunnlag, sosial etablering og institusjonelle lover og reglar. The Virginian følgjer desse karakterane, og det lokale samfunnet dei lever i, gjennom eit halvt tiår med kulturell utvikling og grunnleggande samfunnsendring. Forteljarstemma, som og verkar som ein av dei tre hovudkarakterane i boka, tilhøyrer ein akademisk ung mann med verdiar som er forma på den urbane og kultiverte austkysten, noko som ser ut til å påverka framstillinga hans. Det samfunnet han skildrar som den amerikanske vesten er på mange sett eit romantisk ideal med særeigne normer, og på denne måten underbyggjer romanen det mytiske omdømet den amerikanske vesten har fått. Hovudfokuset i denne oppgåva er å utforska korleis dei kulturelle ulikskapane mellom aust og vest er framstilte, og kva kulturelle endringar som vert skildra gjennom den tida handlinga utspelar seg.
