Carolyn Clark Radhika Viruru Head of Department, Dennie Smith August 2011 Major Subject: Curriculum and Instruction iii ABSTRACT The Influence of Cultural Schema on L2 Production: Analysis of Native Russian Speakers’ English Personal Narratives. (August 2011) Mary Elizabeth Cunningham, B.A., Baylor University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Zohreh Eslami The present study focuses on 24 personal narratives told by eight highly proficient bilingual L1-Russian, L2-English speakers (NRS) in comparison to 24 personal narratives told by eight native English speakers (NES) in an effort to not only discover any structural differences that may be revealed through statistical analysis, but also to discover evidence of previously documented Russian and American cultural schema in the narratives through qualitative inquiry and narrative analysis. Although much has been written concerning Russian culture, cross-linguistic differences between Russian and English, and Russian English language learners these concepts have never been synthesized and applied to a study of Russian-English bilingual narratives in English in order to discover if the cultural schema and linguistic tendencies from L1 are maintained in the second language. The statistical structural analysis included in this study did not reveal any differences between the NES and NRS narratives. On the other hand qualitative analysis of cultural schemas revealed significant transfer of Russian cultural schema in the Native Russian Speaker participants’ L2 narrative production. The Russian speakers were found iv to maintain their distinctly Russian emotional expression. Influence of cultural schema on L2 production was also visible in the thematic differences between the two sets of stories. The NES responses to each prompt were thematically quite similar, and differed noticeably from the themes of the NRS stories. Similarly, Hofstede’s dimensions of national culture also revealed some differences between the two groups. However, the Russian cultural schema proposed by Croft, triplicity, was not found to be more prominent in the NRS narratives than in the NES ones. In conclusion, the Native Russian Speakers in this study showed significant transfer of their L1 cultural schema when speaking their L2. The findings of this study have revealed the high likelihood of influence and transfer of cultural schema, even when bilingual English language speakers have achieved a very high level of English language mastery. However, this cultural influence on L2 production does not impinge on competence of bilingual speakers when speaking English. v DEDICATION To Micah Cunningham, Mark and Lisa Fulmer, and Dr. Paul Larson: each of you has made an indelible mark on all I manage to produce. vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my committee chair, Dr. Eslami, and my committee members, Dr. Clark and Dr. Viruru, for their guidance and support throughout the course of this research. I also want to extend my gratitude to the women who contributed to this study through their stories. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT

has led, in the last two decades, to a plethora of studies which examine the cultural bounded-ness of story telling and the learnability of this particular genre of language use (Hall, 1983; Mandler, Scribner, Cole, & DeForest, 1980; Minami, 2002; Kintsch & Greene, 1978; Minami & McCabe, 1991; Kang, 2003). Studies have shown a strong correlation between cultural schema and characteristics and the stories that members of a culture produce (Tannen, 1980; Chafe, 1980; Caudill & Schooler, 1973; Harris, Lee, Hensley & Schoen, 1988; Melzi, 2000; Kang, 2003). These correlations are numerous and exist on multiple levels such as structure, theme, collaboration,

  • Women's Spiritual Experiences in Healing From
    DRAWING FROM THE WELL: WOMEN’S SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCES IN HEALING FROM CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE by Jill Louise Wylie A thesis submitted to the School of Rehabilitation Therapy In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2010 Copyright ©Jill Louise Wylie, 2010 Abstract The prevalence of child sexual abuse remains high with girls 1.5 to 3 times more likely to be victims compared to boys. In addition to psychological and emotional challenges, this abuse can lead to spiritual difficulties that impact survivors’ ability to find meaning in their life, find a sense of purpose, experience hope or believe in a world that is just. Spirituality can facilitate healing and this study contributes to that knowledge base by exploring women’s own perspectives. The purpose of this qualitative narrative study is to understand, from women’s perspectives, the role of spiritual experiences in their healing from the impacts of child sexual abuse. Spiritual experiences were defined as any experiences that have a different reality or feeling compared to our usual everyday reality that may seem extraordinary or unexplainable, or very ordinary yet meaningful. Twenty in-depth individual interviews were conducted with ten women survivors of child sexual abuse. Narrative analysis methods were used to derive key themes that represent participants’ perspectives of how spiritual experiences enhance healing. Results of this study show that spiritual experiences opened doorways to self, shifted energy, expanded perspective, revealed truths, connected to the present moment, created possibilities of the positive and were an enduring source of support and strength.

    ANGELS CAUGHT NAPPING: MOMENTS THAT DEFINE US by JANET MARIE DOGGETT, B.A. A THESIS IN ENGLISH Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Approved i^h^rperson of the Committee Accepted Dean of the Graduate School May, 2003 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my mentor and thesis advisor Jill Patterson for her kind support and encouragement and also committee member, professor and poet- extraordinaire, John Poch, who has said more than once, "It's good. It's not a poem, but it's good," Also, without the guidance and support of Dr. Jon Rossini during my first semester, I would not have remained in graduate school. This book is dedicated to my mother for understanding that it's not about blame; for my husband who reads my work and loves me anyway, and for my kids who have eaten pizza more nights than any children should. And finally, I would like to acknowledge all of the women and children with whom I worked for a period of two years as a volunteer at the Lubbock Rape Crisis Center. Their courage in the face of horror, their strength and their hope for all things better, will always resonate in my heart, move me to tell their stories, and push me to do better. 11 TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS i, CHAPTER I.
