  • Building Stones of the National Mall
    The Geological Society of America Field Guide 40 2015 Building stones of the National Mall Richard A. Livingston Materials Science and Engineering Department, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742, USA Carol A. Grissom Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute, 4210 Silver Hill Road, Suitland, Maryland 20746, USA Emily M. Aloiz John Milner Associates Preservation, 3200 Lee Highway, Arlington, Virginia 22207, USA ABSTRACT This guide accompanies a walking tour of sites where masonry was employed on or near the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It begins with an overview of the geological setting of the city and development of the Mall. Each federal monument or building on the tour is briefly described, followed by information about its exterior stonework. The focus is on masonry buildings of the Smithsonian Institution, which date from 1847 with the inception of construction for the Smithsonian Castle and continue up to completion of the National Museum of the American Indian in 2004. The building stones on the tour are representative of the development of the Ameri­ can dimension stone industry with respect to geology, quarrying techniques, and style over more than two centuries. Details are provided for locally quarried stones used for the earliest buildings in the capital, including A quia Creek sandstone (U.S. Capitol and Patent Office Building), Seneca Red sandstone (Smithsonian Castle), Cockeysville Marble (Washington Monument), and Piedmont bedrock (lockkeeper's house). Fol­ lowing improvement in the transportation system, buildings and monuments were constructed with stones from other regions, including Shelburne Marble from Ver­ mont, Salem Limestone from Indiana, Holston Limestone from Tennessee, Kasota stone from Minnesota, and a variety of granites from several states.

  • December 2015 Volume 2 Number 6 Susan Kluttzt Governor Secretary, DNCR Governor Launches Connect NC Campaign at Stone Mountain Gov
    DIGEST www.ncparks.gov Pat McCrory December 2015 Volume 2 Number 6 Susan Kluttzt Governor Secretary, DNCR Governor launches Connect NC campaign at Stone Mountain Gov. Pat McCrory’s launch of the $2 billion Connect NC bond campaign included a stop at Stone Moun- tain State Park Oct. 22, where he signed a ceremonial copy of the 2015 legislation and touted the proposal’s benefits to the state parks system. If approved by voters in March, the Connect NC bonds would direct $75 million to 45 projects in state parks, recreation areas and natural areas across North Carolina. The identified projects include: $20.8 million for new or improved visitor centers and community buildings in 11 parks; $18.8 million for new or expanded campgrounds and cabins in 12 parks; $21.3 million for other visitor facilities in 12 parks; and, $14.1 million for land acquisition at 10 park units. “Today, we are enjoying and benefiting from the invest- ments made by our parents and grandparents,” McCrory said. “New university and community college facilities and improved state parks are long-term investments that will support our growth and make North Carolina more attractive to businesses and residents.” The Governor spoke to a crowd of more than 100 support- ers along a trail below the granite face of Stone Mountain. He introduced Robert Orr, former associate justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, who heads a bipartisan committee to advocate for passage of the bond referendum. A complete overview of the Connect NC bond proposal is at www.connect.nc.gov.

  • Newfoundland English
    Izaro Zalacain Mendia Degree in English Studies 2019-2020 NEWFOUNDLAND ENGLISH Supervisor: Miren Alazne Landa Departamento de Filología Inglesa, Alemana y de Traducción e Interpretación Área de Filología Inglesa Abstract The English language has undergone many variations, leaving uncountable dialects in every nook and cranny of the world. Located at the north-east of Canada, the island of Newfoundland presents one of those dialects. However, within the many varieties the English language features, Newfoundland English (NE) remains as one of the less researched dialects in North America. The aim of this paper is to provide a characterisation of NE. In order to do so, this paper focuses on research questions on the origins of the dialect, potential variation within NE, the languages it has been in contact with, its particular linguistic features and the role of linguistic distinction in the Newfoundlander identity. Thus, in this paper I firstly assess the origins of NE, which are documented to mainly derive from West Country, England, and south-eastern Ireland, and I also provide an overview of the main historical events that have influenced the language. Secondly, I show the linguistic variation NE features, thus displaying the multiple dialectal areas that are found in the island. Furthermore, I discuss the different languages that have been in contact with the variety, namely, Irish Gaelic and Micmac, among others. Thirdly, I present a variety of linguistic features of NE -both phonetic and morphosyntactic- that distinguish the dialect from the rest of North American varieties, including Canadian English. Finally, I tackle the issue of language and identity and uncover a number of innovations and purposeful uses of certain features that the islanders show in their speech for the sake of identity marking.

  • Linguistic Profiling and Discrimination in the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
    Article Linguistic Profiling and Discrimination in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Thor Nordfeld Troelsen Introduction When first sitting down to play a new game, exposition is sorely needed for a player to understand the game world they will be inhabiting. Today, the primary delivery device for this is that of recorded dialogue and voice-over. With voices being presented to us, real-world dialects and associations can be established, which could lead us to infer or draw conclusions and judge them on this basis. This “ability to identify an individual’s race or ethnicity on the basis of voice alone is a phenomenon that has been referred to as linguistic profiling” (Lippi-Green 2012, 122), which can lead to discrimination as shown by John Baugh in his studies about the housing market in the US (Purnell et al. 1999). The consequence of this discrimination can be terrible for those subjected to the stereotypes elicited by their voice, but could stereotyping in media such as video games also be useful? This article explores the possible usefulness for linguistic profiling within video games, through the lens of CD Projekt Red’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (2015), and the unfortunate linguistic discrimination which it might elicit. To do this, the world of the Witcher will be introduced, after which a more thorough explanation of the phenomenon of linguistic profiling will be presented. Following this will be a look at the dialects and accents in The Witcher 3 and why something like linguistic profiling might be important in characterization. This leads into a categorization of most of the varieties of British English that are presented within the game, and how these might be discriminatory.
