TY - JOUR TI - Understanding phonology AU - Hume, E. AU - Mielke, J. T2 - Phonology AB - Understanding phonology is intended as an introductory textbook in phonology for students with little or no prior knowledge of linguistics. The book served as the main text in both an introductory course to phonology for graduate students in linguistics as well as one for undergraduates at Ohio State University. Input from students in these classes regarding aspects of the book contributed to our evaluation in this review. We are particularly grateful to the following students for their helpful comments: Sharonne Albicker, Ryan Ginstrom, Jette Hansen, Sun-Hee Lee, Mary Paster, Shravan Vasishth, Jinyi Wang and Peggy Wong. We would also like to thank Carlos Gussenhoven, Sharon Hargus, Robert Levine and David Odden for valuable comments on a draft version of this review. The goal of the text, as stated, is to provide an introduction to all major topics in phonology, and a comprehensive survey of phonological theory. The book aims to explain the basics of phonology, rather than arguing for a particular theoretical position, thereby giving students a sound understanding of the field.

T2 - Assessing Writing AB - Although the subject of error has been the focus of considerable scholarly inquiry, little is known about the effects of error on teachers' responses to students' writing. This article offers a prolegomenon to further research on response to error from a social constructivist perspective. Three areas for investigation are suggested and illustrated with more specific focuses: the effects of error on teachers' processing of student writing; the relationship between error and the and the teachers' construction of the writer's persona; and the relationship between the changing status of socially constructed norms of language use and response to error. Acknowledging the general disjunction between scholarship and teaching practices, the second half of the article turns to another kind of needed inquiry within the “scholarship of teaching.” Greater focus on reflective practice allows teachers to develop more sophisticated approaches to error in the classroom, especially in the relationship between instruction and response to students' writing.

AB - Discusses how process documents, i.e. video recordings of a person's writing, mediate the way people collaborate with one another to construct texts. First, I talk about tacit knowledge and how it is inarticulate without a medium that supports articulation. I then talk about cognitive tools that support collaboration and how video recording, as such a tool, can support multiple ways of "seeing" a text, enabling coordination between the various ways people understand how a text works. Finally, I report preliminary findings of a study that suggests specific ways in which process documents facilitate greater collaboration and coordination between the different perspectives of the collaborators.

The 99 most frequently cited serials are described. This citation analysis is distinguished from others by the size of the database (25,000+ citations), the 10-year review of articles published in five technical communication journals between 1988 and 1997, the number of serials cited and reviewed, and the focus on technical communication as a discipline. The analysis yielded two observations. First, five technical communication journals have grown in strength as forums for discussions of technical communication. Second, the serials cited illustrate the diversity of resources referred to from business, education, psychology, science, and technology-related sources. As a discipline, technical communication has developed depth and rigor through building the base of its research and theory while integrating the research and theory gathered from a number of disciplines.

AU - Gallagher, V. J. AU - Weldon, T. L. AU - Felder, R. M. T2 - Journal of Engineering Education AB - Abstract Many recent studies demonstrate that cooperative learning provides a variety of educational advantages over more traditional instructional models, both in general and specifically in engineering education. Little is known, however, about the interactional dynamics among students in engineering work groups. To explore these dynamics and their implications for engineering education, we analyzed work sessions of student groups in a sophomore‐level chemical engineering course at North Carolina State University. Using conversation analysis as a methodology for understanding how students taught and learned from one another, we found that group members generally engaged in two types of teaching‐learning interactions. In the first type, transfer‐of‐knowledge (TK) sequences , they took on distinct teacher and pupil roles, and in the second, collaborative sequences (CS) , they worked together with no clear role differentiation. The interactional problems that occurred during the work sessions were associated primarily with TK sequences, and had to do with students who either habitually assumed the pupil's role ( constant pupils ) or habitually discouraged others' contributions ( blockers ). Our findings suggest that professors can facilitate student group interactions by introducing students to the two modes of teaching interaction so group members can effectively manage exchanges of knowledge, and also by helping students distribute tasks in a way that minimizes role imbalances.

Although no significant difference in student performance was found between the two learning conditions, our data reveal intriguing relationships between students' prior knowledge, attitudes, and learning styles and our Web-based writing environment. One finding that we focus on is that reflective, global learners performed significantly better online than active, sequential learners, whereas there was no difference between them in the conventional class. Our study highlights the complexity of effective teaching and the difficulty of making comparisons between the online and the classroom environments. In particular, we maintain that the transfer of active learning strategies to the Web is not straightforward and that interactivity as a goal of instructional Web site design requires significant elaboration.

To investigate how heuristics used for rhetorical invention and design might be related, the author analyzed how one disciplinary design heuristic, the information system cliché, influenced the production of both a computer system and a specification text for the system. The cliché was used to generate design proposals, which designers evaluated using at least three criteria: projected context of use, correspondence between the proposals and their textual inscriptions, and system coherence. Results indicate that disciplinary heuristics and rhetorical topics overlap in design; however, the rhetorical character of disciplinary heuristics is obscured in textual representations of the design. Both types of heuristic serve as interpretive instruments and are used dialogically to develop the parts of a design or text within the context of the whole.

It is no less important, however, to understand the interactive processes through which inequalities are created and reproduced in concrete settings. The qualitative research that bears on understanding these processes has not yet been consolidated, and thus its theoretical value remains unrealized. In this article we inductively derive from the literature a sensitizing theory of the generic processes through which inequality is reproduced. The major processes that we identify are othering, subordinate adaptation, boundary maintenance, and emotion management. We argue that conceiving the reproduction of inequality in terms of these generic processes can resolve theoretical problems concerning the connection between local action and extralocal inequalities, and concerning the nature of inequality itself.

This study utilizes a unique sociolinguistic situation – a long-standing, isolated, biracial community situated in a distinctive dialect region of coastal North Carolina – to address questions of localized dialect accommodation and ethnolinguistic distinctiveness in earlier African American English. A comparison of diagnostic phonological and morphosyntactic variables for a sample of four different generations of African Americans and a baseline European American group shows that considerable accommodation of the localized dialect occurred in earlier African American speech. Nonetheless, certain dialect features – e.g., copula absence and 3rd person verbal s marking – were distinctively maintained by African Americans in the face of localized dialect accommodation; and this suggests long-term ethnolinguistic distinctiveness. Cross-generational change among African Americans indicates that younger speakers are moving away from the localized Pamlico Sound dialect toward a more generalized AAVE norm. Contact-based and identity-based explanations are offered for the current trend of localized dialect displacement.

The first experiment examined production of /ai/ in minimal pairs like tide... tight by non-Hispanic whites from two central Ohio communities and Mexican Americans from southern Texas. Results confirmed that the spectral difference occurs in the speech of the central Ohioans. Although it was anticipated that the south Texas subjects would not exhibit the spectral difference, they did produce it, but to a lesser degree than the central Ohioans. The second experiment examined perception of stimuli as tight, tide, or tie by non-Hispanic whites from central Ohio and Mexican Americans from southern Texas to investigate whether the observed patterns in production are reflected in perception. It was confirmed that speakers of the two dialects under study can access the offset spectral difference as a perceptual cue. Moreover, it was found that speakers of the two dialects differ in perception of the spectral difference. The cross-dialectal discrepancies show that the spectral difference is part of a speaker's grammar, even though it is not contrastive.

Research on life stories, for example, has shown that characters are not simply preexisting contents packaged in certain kinds of clauses, but rather complex, emergent products of the interplay between narrative design and narrative processing. Such wide-focus studies need to be complemented by finer-grained, microstructural investigations of character as a part of narrative discourse. Based on a corpus of fifteen natural-language narratives (specifically, ghost stories), this paper examines how stories encode mental representations of characters. Drawing on research in the field of narratology, the paper labels these character representations actants. Actants are models that encode narrative participants as agents and patients, thus allowing particular discourse entities to be inserted into global action structures like Pursuit of a goal. Analyzing sequences of referring expressions in the ghost stories, the paper shows that identifying and tracking agents in narratives requires that information about participant roles be encoded in the telling of the story. Further, insofar as they reconfigure objects and occurrences as agents and actions, ghost stories provide unique insights into the cognitive, linguistic, and interactional processes shaping discourse anaphora in narrative contexts.

Indeed, the most recent discussion of Dennis (1998) treats him primarily in relation to Pope's Essay on Criticism. 3 But Dennis's own varied and thoughtful career in literary criticism, as Hooker realized, still deserves more careful attention in its own right.

J. T2 - Comparatist AB - MULTICULTURALISM, CENSORSHIP, AND THE POSTMODERN ASSAULT ON THE CANON: CLASSICAL ANSWERS TO CONTEMPORARY DILEMMAS Jeanne J. Smoot If we accept the simple premise that what we read influences who we are, then curricular matters in general and the concept ofa canon in particular have profound political implications. Almost any dictator seeks to restrict what his subjects read, to control the flow of information, ideas, and philosophies. A free society, then, sustains itself by fostering an expansive and open canon. The idea ofa literary canon itselfsuggests standards, the upholding or at least the respect for excellence in writing, creative expression, and dynamic ideas. The elasticity of this canon insures freedom, the ventilation of opposing ideas, and the development of new ways of thinking. James Madison makes a similar argument in Federalist Paper No. 10 to support, not the idea of an open canon, but democratic government and the need for factions in a free society. Ironically today the notion of a canon is under attack from the very institution that in the past has been its primary incubator, the academy. Even more ironic, the canon is often under siege in the name of multiculturalism , which at its best should promote respect for all cultures and awareness of cultural differences. What passes for multiculturalism today , however, is sometimes a relentless assault on Western civilization. John Ellis, in Literature Lost: Social Agendas and the Corruption of the Humanities, sees the race-gender-class critics, as he calls them, actually increasing divisiveness in postmodern society by focusing on the victim /victimizer paradigm. Ellis holds that such critics also harm literary study by selecting texts based on their ability to support particular social and political aims. So concerned was Ellis that literature was being neglected in favor of political and social agendas that he and others formed the Association ofLiterary Scholars and Critics (ALSC), an international group, in 1994. While the ALSCs main purpose is to provide a forum for study and exchange for all those who value good literature (its members include classicists, literature professors and teachers of all types, creative writers, critics, editors, and people from other professions who simply have a love of the Word), the group also is concerned with fostering a climate in which good literature can flourish. For this reason, the ALSC has taken a closer look at what is actually being taught in the name of multiculturalism. The results, far from the respect for all cultures that one might have expected, are often deeply disturbing. One of the ways the ALSC, which is mainly composed of US members , discerns the effect of some elements of multicultural studies is to ask its members to look at something so simple and seemingly benign as standards used to certify secondary school teachers in the fifty US states. While the ALSC saw much to praise, citing the California English language arts standards draft report as a particularly fine example of an Vol. 24 (2000): 30 ??? COMVAnATIST evenhanded document that upholds the primacy ofliterature and refers to "universal themes in significant works ofAmerican, British and world literature," the association was critical of the standards manual put out by the Texas State Board of Education, for example. The fall 1997 issue of the ALSC Newsletter noted what it saw as the deleterious effect of race-gender-class specialists on Texas certification standards. "Among the few authors mentioned, much space is devoted to Toni Morrison, Gwendolyn Brooks, Längsten Hughes, and N. Scott Momaday, but none to, for example, Shakespeare, Milton, Chaucer, Dickens, or Twain." (ALSC Newsletter 8). Perhaps the drafters of the Texas manual felt the authors they were highlighting had been underrepresented in the past or would be in the future. But public documents, at least in the United States, have a way ofbecoming standards, especially if they are written as guidance for certification; and the privileging ofwriters like Morrison, Hughes, and Momaday has the net effect ofdiminishing or perhaps even eliminating such giants as Shakespeare and Mark Twain. Instead of incorporating more recent canonical authors, such as Hughes and Brooks, into its curriculum in the way canon formation should work, the Texas document insinuates antagonisms. As the Newsletter noted, the state manual... DA - 2000/// PY - 2000/// DO - 10.1353/com.2000.0002 VL - 24 IS - 2000 SP - 30-38 ER - TY - JOUR TI - A Doctor's visit and other stories AU - Lisk, T. D.
