    RSU International Research Conference 2020 https://rsucon.rsu.ac.th/proceedings 1 MAY 2020 A Study of Figurative Language in Academy Award Acceptance Speeches Vorapon Mahakaew Faculty of Liberal Arts, Rangsit University, Pathum Thani, Thailand Corresponding author, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The objective of this research was to analyze the figurative language in the Academy Award acceptance speeches. According to the principles of qualitative investigation, this study applied a descriptive and interpretative method of content analysis (Miles and Huberman, 1994; Strauss and Corbin, 1998). In the study, the source of data comes from the Academy Award acceptance speeches. Thirty-one speeches from 2004 to 2013 have been chosen for the analysis using seven types of figurative language: climax, hyperbole, hypophora, irony, metaphor, oxymoron, and simile. The theoretical concepts that guided the framework of investigation in this study are related to figurative language. The frequencies of the types of figure of speech were then examined and presented in percentage form. The connotations that were interpreted from the figures of speech were derived into common themes. The results revealed that hyperbole is the most found type of figurative language, using 18 times in 16 speeches. Metaphor holds the second spot for using 16 times in 14 speeches while simile is undiscovered. Following the metaphor is irony with 14 times of usage in nine speeches. Moreover, climax, hypophora, and oxymoron are also found in the study. Keywords: Figurative language, Speech 1. Introduction English is considered the most important language because it is one of the world’s top languages used by people across the globe.

  • Framing Disability
    EMENS (DO NOT DELETE) 10/15/2012 10:10 AM FRAMING DISABILITY Elizabeth F. Emens* Mainstream attitudes toward disability lag behind U.S. law. This tension between attitudes and law reflects a wider gap between the ideas about disability pervasive in mainstream society—what this Ar- ticle calls the “outside” view—and the ideas about disability common within the disability community—what this Article calls the “inside” view. The outside perspective tends to misunderstand and mischarac- terize aspects of the experience, theory, and law of disability. The law can help to close this gap in attitudes by changing the conditions in which attitudes are formed or reinforced. Thus, this Ar- ticle proposes using framing rules to target the moments when non- disabled people make decisions that implicate their future relationship to disability. Framing rules prescribe the frame applied to particular decision moments, by specifying the information and context that ac- company the decision. The current messages surrounding disability decision moments tend to be misleading and negative, rooted in the outside view of disability. The proposed framing rules would instead provide insights from the inside view to people who have a reason to think about disability. This Article examines several decision points to which the inside framing perspective could be applied, including prenatal testing, driv- er’s licensing, and disability insurance. Each of these areas is an ex- ample of a broader domain—thinking about the kind of children we want, injury prevention campaigns, and contingency planning—in which disability is frequently presented in negative terms.

    FRO M THE PRE S DEN T (j , e"':'onest, we were a little worried about whether ~ '" moving the Academy Awards ceremony three weeks earlier than usual would even be doable. We were worried about getting the ballots out to the membership and back in time. We were worried about finding time for the nomina­ tions screenings in the Foreign Language, Short Film and Documentary categories. We were worried about pulling a show together in a shorter period between the nominations announcement and the telecast. About building tune-in interest over a shorter period of weeks. About dozens of other items that we'd become used to doing in a more leisurely time frame. It turned out it was doable. And we did it. Afterwards, we even wondered how we'd ever managed to stretch it out for three more weeks. It turned out also that the shorter schedule is having a material impact on the studios' release pattern. PiCUlfes may not be all bunched up at the end of this year, but spread a little more evenly over the next eight or nine months. That alone, I'd say, may be a result worth the effort. Some of us wanted to try doing it even earlier. I was one of those. But the prevailing wisdom was to get at least another year under our belts. So we'll present the Awards at the end of February again next year. February 27th is the day. Be there with us. - FRANK P IERSON ACADEMY QUARTERLY REPORT Published by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences 8949 Wil shire Boulevard , Beverly Hills, California 90211-1972 (310) 247-3000 ' www.oscars.org PRESIDENT.

And, for the first time since the Catskill Center's Catskill Stewards Program was launched, one steward will serve as a ridge runner. The ridge runner will start the season stewarding on and near the Devil's Path trail in Greene County, one of the Catskill's more challenging hikes, and cover other trails as needed Another steward will work part-time at Platte Cove while the remaining six stew- ards will be divided between Peekamoose Blue Hole and Kaaterskill Clove, providing coverage every day. The COVID-19 pandem- ic prompted a record number of visitors to Catskill Park in 2020, a 27% increase. And this season, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) is implementing new permitting regulations for the popular Peekamoose Blue Hole and surrounding areas as a response to the surge in visitors that is expected to continue this season.
