Abstract Beyond the Issues: A Linguistic and Conceptual Study of American Public Discourse by Pamela Sue Morgan Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics University of California, Berkeley Professor George Lakoff, Co-Chair Professor Eve Sweetser, Co-Chair Cultural cognitive models (CCMs) are learned and shared by members of cultural communities and serve as shortcuts to the presentation and understanding of communicative events, including public discourse. They are made up of "frames," here defined as prototypical representations of recurrent cultural experiences or historical references that contain culturally-agreed-upon sets of participants, event scenarios, and evaluations.

  • Past Due: How American Housing Policy Leaves Millions Behind
    PAST DUE: HOW AMERICAN HOUSING POLICY LEAVES MILLIONS BEHIND Sammi Aibinder and Lindsay Owens, PhD April 2021 Executive Summary With more than ten million renters (nearly 20 percent of renters) collectively owing more than $57 billion in back rent, America is mired in its second housing crisis in just over a decade. But the extreme level of housing instability we face cannot be solely blamed on the pandemic. It is the culmination of two long-standing and interrelated problems. • First, we have been in the midst of a housing affordability crisis for decades, even during periods of economic expansion. Soaring rents over the last two decades have swallowed what modest income gains we’ve managed to achieve in the labor market. As Americans spend an increasingly large share of their income on rent, they have less and less cushion to absorb a period of unemployment or a decline in household income. • Second, there is no safety net for housing in the United States. While programs like unemployment insurance and food assistance largely expand to meet the increased need during economic downturns, there are no federal programs for housing that operate this way; this lack of safety net infrastructure for housing groundworkcollaborative.org PAST DUE: HOW AMERICAN HOUSING POLICY LEAVES MILLIONS BEHIND | 1 makes it almost impossible to quickly and effectively deliver any assistance that Congress does allocate during a disaster like this one. And even before the pan- demic, only one fifth of Americans who qualified for any kind of housing assis- tance received it. This coverage gap has only increased in the last year.
