  • Onomatopoeia, Gestures, Actions and Words: How Do Caregivers Use Multimodal Cues in Their Communication to Children?
    Onomatopoeia, gestures, actions and words: How do caregivers use multimodal cues in their communication to children? Gabriella Vigliocco ([email protected]) Yasamin Motamedi, Margherita Murgiano, Elizabeth Wonnacott, Chloe Marshall, Iris Milan Maillo, Pamela Perniss Abstract However, in addition to being arbitrary, language presents also other types of form-meaning mapping characterized by Most research on how children learn the mapping between words and world has assumed that language is arbitrary, and a more transparent and motivated link (Dingemanse et al. has investigated language learning in contexts in which objects 2015). For example, iconicity, across languages, can be found referred to are present in the environment. Here, we report in the phonology of words, e.g. in onomatopoeia such analyses of a semi-naturalistic corpus of caregivers talking to as meow or drip. This expressive richness is particularly their 2-3 year-old. We focus on caregivers’ use of non-arbitrary prominent once we look at the multimodal communicative cues across different expressive channels: both iconic context in which language is learnt: prosodic (onomatopoeia and representational gestures) and indexical (points and actions with objects). We ask if these cues are used modulations (e.g. prolonging a vowel to indicate prolonged differently when talking about objects known or unknown to extension, loooong), iconic, representational gestures (e.g., the child, and when the referred objects are present or absent. tracing an up and down movement with the index finger We hypothesize that caregivers would use these cues more while talking about a bouncing object), points and hand often with objects novel to the child.

  • How Japanese Comic Books Influence Taiwanese Students A
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reading Comic Books Critically: How Japanese Comic Books Influence Taiwanese Students A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Education by Fang-Tzu Hsu 2015 © Copyright by Fang-Tzu Hsu 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Reading Comic Books Critically: How Japanese Comic Books Influence Taiwanese Students by Fang-Tzu Hsu Doctor of Philosophy in Education University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Carlos A. Torres, Chair Education knows no boundaries but hot button topics, like comic books, demonstrate school, teacher and parent limitations. Japanese comic books (manga) are a litmus test of pedagogical tolerance. Because they play an important role in the lives of most Taiwanese teenagers, I give them pride of place in this dissertation. To understand Japanese comic books and their influence, I use Paulo Freire’s critical pedagogy to combine perspectives from cultural studies, comparative education, and educational sociology. With the cooperation of the administration, faculty and students of a Taiwanese junior high school, I used surveys, a textual analysis of five student-selected titles and interviews with students and educators. I discovered that Japanese manga contain complex and sometimes contradictory ideologies of ethnicity, gender, class, and violence. From an ethnic perspective, although students may glean cultural content from manga heroes and their retinues, people of color and non-Japanese Asians are either caricatures or non-existent; although Taiwanese teenager readers seem unaware of this. From a gender standpoint, neither the female characters’ provocative representation nor the male characters’ slavering responses to it raise students’ and teachers’ concerns.

  • Vigilantes, Incorporated: an Ideological Economy of the Superhero Blockbuster
    VIGILANTES, INCORPORATED: AN IDEOLOGICAL ECONOMY OF THE SUPERHERO BLOCKBUSTER BY EZRA CLAVERIE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English with a minor in Cinema Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor José B. Capino, Chair Associate Professor Jim Hansen Associate Professor Lilya Kaganovsky Associate Professor Robert A. Rushing Professor Frank Grady,Department of English, University of Missouri, Saint Louis ii ABSTRACT Since 2000, the comic-book superhero blockbuster has become Hollywood’s most salient genre. “Heroes, Incorporated: A Political Economy of the Superhero Blockbuster” examines these seemingly reactionary fantasies of American power, analyzing their role in transmedia storytelling for a conglomerated and world-spanning entertainment industry. This dissertation argues that for all their apparent investment in the status quo and the hegemony of white men, superhero blockbusters actually reveal the disruptive and inhuman logic of capital, which drives both technological and cultural change. Although focused on the superhero film from 2000 to 2015, this project also considers the print and electronic media across which conglomerates extend their franchises. It thereby contributes to the materialist study of popular culture and transmedia adaptation, showing how 21st century Hollywood adapts old media for new platforms, technologies, and audiences. The first chapter traces the ideology of these films to their commercial roots, arguing that screen superheroes function as allegories of intellectual property. The hero’s “brand” identity signifies stability, even as the character’s corporate owners continually revise him (rarely her).

  • Sound Symbolism, Speech Identity, and Size Andrew Shibata May, 2017 Phonlab, UC Berkeley Advisors
    UC Berkeley Phonetics and Phonology Lab Annual Report (2017) Sound symbolism, speech identity, and size Andrew Shibata May, 2017 PhonLab, UC Berkeley Advisors: Keith Johnson, Alice Shen Second Reader: Susan Lin 141 UC Berkeley Phonetics and Phonology Lab Annual Report (2017) Abstract Sound symbolism is the hypothesized property for sounds to convey semantic meaning. Shinohara and Kawahara (2010) proposed that features of vowels (frontness, height) and obstruents (voicing) cause listeners to perceive words as either larger or smaller. Study 1 firstly replicates the original experiment then repeats the experiment using a speech perception paradigm. The speech perception experiment assesses whether listeners perceive sizes differently between spoken language and visual reading. The results from Study 1 were consistent with Shinohara and Kawahara (2010) except that words with /u/ were perceived as smaller in our results. We hypothesized that this result may be due to u-fronting which is an iconic feature of Californian English so we repeated both the written word and speech perception experiments in Study 2 with non-Californian English speakers. Our results support Shinohara and Kawahara’s claims and suggest that speakers perceive dialect-specific phonetic properties from written word. 1. Introduction 1.1 Traditional perspective on form and meaning One long-held assumption in linguistics is that the physical form of a linguistic signal is independent of its meaning. This idea is attributed to Ferdinand de Saussure who stated in his Course in General Linguistics that “the bond between the signifier and the signified is arbitrary” (De Saussure & Baskin, 2011). Saussure argues that the idea conveyed by a word is not linked to the ordered set of sounds that make up the word.

  • English Language: Growth of Vocabulary Ms
    International Journal on Studies in English Language and Literature (IJSELL) Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2013, PP: 41-47 www.arcjournals.org, © ARC Journal English Language: Growth of Vocabulary Ms. Rajarajeswari. M Ms. Mohana .A Assistant Professor Head of the Department Department of Science and Humanities Department of English Rajiv Gandhi College of Engineering & Technology Jazan University Kirumampakkam, Puducherry, India Gizan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Abstract: The paper attempts to bring out the importance of vocabulary in the seventeenth century. The growth of English vocabulary has played a vital role because every year new words appear, while others extend or change their meaning. Keywords: English Language, Vocabularies, Introduction of numerous word 1. INTRODUCTION By the middle of the seventeenth century English Language had more or less assumed its present form so far as grammar, spelling and pronunciation are concerned. From the Restoration onwards the chief developments have been in the direction of an enlargement of the vocabulary on the one hand and changes in the meaning of words on the other. As knowledge grows, so language grows with it. The English language is the richest of all the languages and has the most extensive vocabulary. New words have entered and enlarged the vocabulary of English. Dr. Johnson’s Dictionary of 1755 contains some 48,000 entries while the 20th century Oxford Dictionary lists more than four hundred thousand words. The extent of our individual vocabularies probably varies considerably from person to person. It has been estimated that Shakespeare used about twenty thousand words and Milton eight thousand, but in both cases, of course, the figures are deceptive.

  • Arbitrariness, Iconicity and Systematicity in Language
    1 Title Arbitrariness, iconicity and systematicity in language Authors Mark Dingemanse1, Damián E. Blasi2,3, Gary Lupyan4, Morten H. Christiansen5,6, Padraic Monaghan7 1 Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics 2 Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences 3 Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology 4 University of Wisconsin-Madison 5 Cornell University 6 University of Southern Denmark 7 Lancaster University Corresponding author Dingemanse, Mark ([email protected]) Language & Cognition Department Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics PO Box 310, 6500 AH, Nijmegen, The Netherlands Keywords iconicity, systematicity, arbitrariness, sound-symbolism, vocabulary, lexicon 2 Arbitrariness, iconicity and systematicity in language Abstract The notion that the form of a word bears an arbitrary relation to its meaning accounts only partly for the attested relations between form and meaning in the world’s languages. Recent research suggests a more textured view of vocabulary structure, in which arbitrariness is complemented by iconicity (aspects of form resemble aspects of meaning) and systematicity (statistical regularities in forms predict function). Experimental evidence suggests these form to meaning correspondences serve different functions in language processing, development and communication: systematicity facilities category learning by means of phonological cues, iconicity facilitates word learning and communication by means of perceptuomotor analogies, and arbitrariness facilitates meaning individuation through distinctive forms. Processes of cultural evolution help explain how these competing motivations shape vocabulary structure. The return of non-arbitrariness An upheaval is underway in current thinking about the arbitrary nature of linguistic signs. The long- standing view that the form of a word has an essentially arbitrary relation to the word’s meaning [1,2] is giving way to a perspective that recognises roles for both arbitrariness and non-arbitrariness in language.
