Black Men Writing, Reflecting, and Discovering Self: Personal Narrative Essays of College-aged African American Men at an All-male Historically Black College or University (HBCU)

<p>Personal narratives are studied in many disciplines, but theoretical analysis of the personal narrative in composition classes has lagged behind the research. This qualitative study examines the personal narratives of thirty Black college-aged men. This study presents the feelings and thoughts of Black males through their personal stories and perspectives; in the study, they detail their life experiences. The narratives were analyzed for elements of narrative discourse, which include (1) Thesis; (2) Transitions; (3) Use and Evaluation of Sources; (4) Audience, Tone, and Rhetorical Appeals; (5) Organization; (6) Claims, Warrants, and Support; (7)Paraphrases, Direct Quotes, and Summary; (8) In-text Citations and Works Cited Page; (9) Style and Syntax; and (10) Mechanics (see scoring procedures). Each narrative was analyzed according to the criteria described in the Personal Narrative Rubric; the number of elements was counted for each category. The researcher recommends additional narrative studies of Black men in different age groups, educational backgrounds, social and economic levels, and geographical regions.</p>

Being sensible is now a radical concept I LOVE that quote haha

Abstract This paper examines how the communicative act of quotation may contribute to ordinary users’ discussion of politics through user comments following up on government- and opposition-party speeches during a pre-election and a non-election period in Britain. It analyses the linguistic formatting of the communicative act – as direct, indirect, mixed, hypothetical and scare quotation – and its production-format-specific distribution in the speeches of the political elite and in ordinary-user comments following up on the elite discourse. Particular attention is given to (1) references to the constitutive parts of the communicative act of quotation, to its felicity conditions and to social-context coordinates, (2) the discursive functions which quotation may fulfil in the two different contexts and timeframes, and (3) their perlocutionary effects.

REDUPLIKASI SEMANTIS DALAM PEMBENTUKAN KATA BAHASA REMPUNG KAJIAN PERSPEKTIF DIAKRONIS

The study investigates semantic reduplication in the Rempung language, aiming to elucidate its forms, functions, and meanings. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research gathers data in the form of words or phrases that exhibit semantic reduplication. Data analysis methods include introspection and the speech method, encompassing direct and indirect speech, note-taking, and recording. With a diachronic perspective, the research utilizes the intralingual Equivalence method, employing both basic and advanced comparison techniques. The analysis results are presented formally and informally. The study draws upon the Simatupang theory and identifies seven forms of semantic reduplication across three categories. Semantic reduplication in the Rempung language serves two functions: inflection and derivation, each carrying nuanced meanings

Perception of Leisure in Prisoners

This study aimed to identify the leisure needs of prisoners and the significance of leisure activities in prisons. The research is a qualitative study designed using a phenomenological approach. Participants were selected using criterion sampling, one of the purposive sampling methods. The study group for this research consists of 21 male prisoners who have been incarcerated and are currently serving time in Manisa Open Prison. The researchers obtained the data using a semi-structured interview form, which was then analysed using content analysis methods. In terms of credibility, transferability, consistency, and confirmability of the research, direct quotations were used, the research process was explained in detail, and the agreement rate was calculated as 0.83 using Miles and Huberman” 's (1994) reliability formula. All data were kept ensuring verifiability. The findings revealed that most participants associate the concept of time with life and define it as the period between birth and death. Similarly, freedom is perceived as living freely and being with loved ones. The concept of obstacle or constraint is associated with being in prison. In their leisure, participants expressed a desire to spend time with their family and children when they are not incarcerated. Leisure activities in prisons are important, but also insufficient. Leisure activities should adequately contribute to working life after release. 

PERLOCATIVE PRAGMATICS OF DIRECT AND INDIRECT INTERROGATIVE SPEECH ACTS IN THE KAZAKH LANGUAGE

The article analyzes the concepts of categories of direct and indirect communication in linguistics, types and features of indirect interrogative speech acts, reveals the prelocutive pragmatics of direct and indirect interrogative speech acts in the Kazakh language. Namely: if the direct meaning of interrogative sentences is getting an answer, then indirect questions are used in such functions as showing politeness, indirect posing a question, emphasizing a request, posing a question in a suspicious expression, transmitting a request with gestures, evaluation, resentment, chagrin. In a direct interrogative speech act, the illocutionary effect is expressed through the linguistic meaning of the linguistic means that make up speech, while the perlocutionary pragmatics of indirect interrogative speech acts depends on the use of language units in a figurative sense, on the background knowledge of the speaker and listener and the conditions of communication. At the same time, an indirect interrogative speech act enhances the artistic potential of the language and allows expressing various semantic shades.The study used methods of structural grammar «from form to meaning», functional grammar «from meaning to form», structural-semantic description, functional-semantic and contextual analysis, differentiation and hypothetical interpretation.The scientific and theoretical basis of the scientific conclusions obtained in the course of the study were the works on structural, communicative, functional grammar and pragmatic linguistics in linguistics. In addition, the given language examples from various sources (colloquial speech, works of poets and writers) contributed to the argumentation of scientific and practical conclusions presented in the article

학문 목적 한국어 학습자를 위한 인용절 교육 내용 연구

Objectives The purpose of this paper is to propose new educational content for quotations for Korean language learners, reflecting the logic-semantic types of Systemic Functional Linguistics(SFL). Methods Quotation clauses are elucidated as projective clauses within the logic-semantic relationship of SFL. Projection is categorized based on three criteria: projection level (thought, locution), projection mode (parataxis, hypotaxis), and speech function (proposition, proposal). Reflecting these perspectives of projection in the educational content of quotations can improve existing problems observed among Korean language learners for academic purposes. Results First, this paper distinguishes between locution quotation, thought quotation, and fact quotation based on the linguistic content being quoted, and indicates the need to address various sources of quotations such as speaker, listener, the third person and media. Second, it is emphasized that educational content should explicitly cover not only indirect quotation expressions but also direct quotation. Regarding the form of presenting indirect quotation expressions, considering ‘고’ as a particle is effective. This is because regarding ‘고’ as a particle helps to clearly reveal the content of the quotation, explicitly indicate the speech function of propositions or proposals, and above all, because it well represents the nature of quotations, making it accessible for Korean language learners. Third, it is suggested that educational content should be designed to include various quotation verbs to allow learners to express the attitudes and opinions of quoted speakers. To this end, this paper provides a list of quotation verbs for each learning level. Fourth, it is proposed that quotation nouns should be included as grammar items in quotation expression learning to enable learners to skillfully use quotation expressions by also mastering the structure of adjective clause. Conclusions The SFL-based educational content on quotations proposed in this paper can contain sufficient content of quotation expressions required by academic learners after university admission, and it is expected to be effectively applied in cultivating their usage proficiency.

FOLKLORE AND ETHNOGRAPHIC ROOTS OF FRANKO’S STORY “ON YURA SHYKMANIUK WADING THE CHEREMOSH”

In the cycle of Ivan Franko’s works on Hutsul themes, the story “On Yura Shykmaniuk Wading the Cheremosh” is particularly colorful. This piece of prose arose out of the author’s stunning experiences he enjoyed while staying in the village Kryvorivnia, a blessed corner of the Hutsul region. Even though the writer focused on elaborating the eternal theme of “the fight between the evil and the good in a human,” he also included numerous details from the local tradition, revealing a unique atmosphere of the Hutsul land. The regional folklore and ethnographic elements play a significant role in the arduous life story of the elderly Hutsul Yura Shykmaniuk. The moment of emotional climax when Yura Shykmaniuk desperately struggles in his heart trying to decide whether “to take the path of crime or not” is skillfully intensified by the writer citing the chronicle songs about the tragic life of an “opryshok” (brigand) Yura Drahariuk. The reference to the popular folklore text essentially explicates the emotional and psychological state of the protagonist, while also presenting a grim prospect of living one’s life as a murderer. Apart from direct quotes from the song, the author also pays close attention to unique ethnographic details. He highlighted the most outstanding features of the Hutsul family rituals. In particular, he depicted the local peculiarities of a funeral custom, with the trembita being the core of the ritual, tirelessly “bewailing the eternal memory” of the dead. The story also mentions some spirits from the Hutsul demonology. While writing “On Yura Shykmaniuk Wading the Cheremosh,” Franko was still accomplishing his work on the first volume of the series “Galician Ruthenian Folk Proverbs and Sayings.” Consequently, it’s no surprise that the text of the story abounds in samples of folk wisdom: the story is enriched with more than fifty aphoristic sayings. Numerous folklore and ethnographic elements incorporated into the story not only shape a relevant Hutsul context but also help in delineating its core ideas.

Was Shostakovich’s Second Cello Concerto a Hidden Homage?

Shostakovich’s direct quotation from the Odessan street song “Bagels, Buy My Bagels!” (Bubliki, kupite bubliki!) in his Second Cello Concerto Op. 126 (1966) featured an unusual style, even in relation to some of his other compositions referencing popular and Jewish music. The song is widely known as one of the icons of the Odessa underworld. Shostakovich’s use of this melody as one of the main leit-themes of the Concerto can be compared to the use by the non-Jewish Andrei Sinyavsky of the Jewish pseudonym Abram Tertz, a bandit from the Odessa underworld—the only locus of freedom to tell the truth in a totalitarian society. The time of Shostakovich’s address to this song remarkably coincided with the famous Soviet trial of Andrei Sinyavsky and Yuly Daniel in the fall of 1965 and their final sentencing (February 1966) to years in a Gulag camp. The dramaturgy of Shostakovich’s Concerto, written in the same spring of 1966, demonstrates the transformation of the theme of “Bagels” into a tragic image. The totality of circumstantial evidence suggests that this opus could be the composer’s hidden tribute to the feats of Russian heroic writers.

Accounts of perspective taking in narrative

AbstractThis paper gives an overview over two different kinds of protagonists' perspective taking in narrative texts, Free Indirect Discourse (FID) and Protagonist Projection (PP)/Viewpoint Shifting (VS), and the most important analyses of these phenomena that have been proposed within the framework of formal semantics and pragmatics. While FID is a special form of reporting self‐reflexively conscious thoughts and utterances which in contrast to indirect and direct discourse is not overtly marked as such, PP/VS renders the content of protagonists' perceptions and beliefs. The paper discusses empirical differences between these two kinds of protagonists' perspective taking with respect to syntactic embeddability and the licencing of deictic expressions and considers various analytical options to capture these differences.

Language Conventions of Kurdish Scientific Books in the Context of Scientific Translation between English and Kurdish

This paper explores the language conventions of Kurdish Scientific Books (KSBs) within the context of scientific translation between English and Central Kurdish. The study analyses five KSBs to investigate their language characteristics, including clarity, precision, formality, use of terminology, style and so forth. The current study utilizes Lambert and van Gorp’s (1985/2006) four-step scheme for analysing and describing the KSBs. The findings reveal that KSBs generally employ clear and precise language, maintain objectivity and formality, and make use of nominalization and scientific terminology. The KSBs generally favour incomplete sentences in titles and figures, and, in the body of the sections and chapters, prefer long sentences and active voice and avoid direct quotations, abbreviations, acronyms, and personal pronouns. They also incorporate English loanwords and terms to fill lexical lacunae, indicating the influence of the English scientific language. This research accordingly sheds light on the language conventions of KSBs and their potential similarities to the English scientific language.

Gender Representation in Directive Speech Acts of Teachers: A Study on Indonesian Language Learning in Automotive Vocational High Schools in Pasaman District

This study aims to examine gender representation in directive speech acts of Indonesian language teachers in Pasaman Regency Automotive Department Vocational Schools. Included in the type of qualitative research, this research applies descriptive analysis method. The research data is in the form of directive speech of male teachers and female teachers in Indonesian language learning at SMK Department of Automotive Pasaman Regency. It can be concluded that Indonesian teachers use various forms of directive speech acts, such as directions, orders, and instructions to students. Variants of the use of directive speech acts also show variations between male and female teachers, with three dominant variants commonly used by male teachers and five variants commonly used by female teachers. The results also reveal that female teachers tend to use the speech act of ordering or commanding as the dominant form, although they also show a sense of solidarity by using the speech acts of suggesting and advising. On the other hand, male teachers are more inclined to the direct approach and commanding without preamble. This difference reflects the complexity of the relationship between men's and women's language and thinking in the learning context.

An Epistemological Approach to The Translation of Tenses and Aspects in English-French and French-English Contexts

This paper delves into the complexities of translating tenses and aspects, particularly in English-French and French-English contexts, advocating for an epistemological approach that entails a meticulous examination of source language (SL) tense and aspectual elements, as well as considerations of situational context, textual nature (e.g., direct speech, narrative, retrospection, anticipation) and pragmatics. The concept of tense inherently encompasses aspect, which delineates the structure of actions conveyed by verbs. Aspect may denote completeness or incompleteness, iteration or punctuality, semelfactivity, telicity, atelicity, frequency, and permanence, among other qualities. Employing a qualitative method, this paper first outlines the theoretical underpinnings of the notions discussed, followed by concrete examples. The study reveals that tense, originally derived from the concept of time, is intricately linked with aspect and action. Aspect, moreover, extends beyond linguistic realms to encompass philosophical (e.g., Aristotelian aspect) and metalinguistic dimensions. A cross-linguistic examination of tense and aspect unveils multifaceted relationships encompassing lexical, philosophical, semantic, syntactic, pragmatic, and strategic dimensions, necessitating further elucidation.

John Coltrane's Wisdom Psalm: A Love Supreme (1965)

John Coltrane's classic recording, "A Love Supreme" (1965) has only one line of lyrics, namely, "A love supreme," which appears at the end of the first part of his four-part jazz suite. To be sure, these words are not a direct quotation of any biblical text. Nevertheless, this study treats the album as an expression of the musical reception history of the Bible. The essay provides a musical analysis of the album's four parts, entitled "Acknowledgement," "Resolution," "Pursuance," and "Psalm," alongside a textual analysis of the liner notes. The analysis shows how Coltrane's work reflects the tradition of sapiential psalmody. This album reveals numerous similarities in form, texture, and theme with the wisdom psalms, especially Psalm 119, the psalm supreme.
