This study deals with the Definiteness Effect (DE) in Chinese you existential sentences from pragmatic perspectives and the scope is confined to the formal written style with discourse environments. The data used for analysis is the United Daily News Corpus and the data selection is restricted to the definite NPs which are considered unacceptable in you existential sentences: proper names, pronouns, demonstratives, universal quantifications, most-NPs, and superlative. The data for analysis in this study consist of 119 natural occurrences and the results reveal that definite NPs can occur in you existential sentences and the contexts where they appear consist of adjunct clauses and complement clauses embedded under the matrix verb. It is also observed that you existential sentences can assert the existence of entities or events and definite NPs can represent given information. I suggest that the Definiteness Effect is a misnomer and the restriction imposed on you existential sentences is derived from the non-application of ¡§identification¡¨ in existential sentences. Definite NPs are only allowed in you existential sentences when they are used to identify the entities. If the postverbal NPs are to introduce or present the entities into the discourse, definite NPs are ruled out. In addition, it is argued that if the definite NPs are anaphoric and thus given information, they are used to draw the addressee¡¦s attention to the presence of entities or events; namely, they serve as focusing topics. It seems odd to view them only as topic-introducing constructions.

Imagens sobre seu corpo, sua beleza que constroem e desconstroem sentidos e identidades acerca dos modos de ser feminino. Investigamos os conteúdos de duas revistas da Região Norte do Brasil, com intuito de identificar se as imagens publicadas nas duas revistas, a Pará + e a Revista YOU, que são produzidas respectivamente em Belém (PA) e Macapá (AP), apresentam tipos de mulher similares ou divergentes dos que estão expressos nos meios de comunicação nacional, além de procurarmos verificar se o padrão hegemônico de beleza feminina é reproduzido nas páginas dessas publicações. Como objeto de pesquisa, selecionamos todas as imagens fotográficas de mulheres adultas publicadas pelas duas revistas durante o ano de 2014 e as analisamos quantitativamente e qualitativamente, por meio dos instrumentos e procedimentos metodológicos fornecidos pela Análise de Conteúdo e pela análise retórica das imagens. Assim, a partir do referencial teórico sobre representação e identidade, resgatando o que o acervo bibliográfico já concluiu sobre os sentidos de mulher contidos na mídia, ao nos debruçarmos sobre o corpus apuramos que majoritariamente as fotografias retratam mulheres vinculadas e aprisionadas ao ideal estético preconceituoso, que concebe um estereótipo da mulher, magra, anti-idade, branca, sofisticada, elegante e sexy.

abstract: Teacher attrition and the migration between schools and districts can have a negative impact on quality of education and teacher performance. Novice teachers leave the profession because they are overwhelmed by the workload and responsibilities of the job. In a previous action research cycle, I found that novice teachers' perceptions of isolation and lack of opportunities to share experiences had a negative effect on teacher perceptions of efficacy. This action research project examines the effect of leveraging social media and professional learning communities to provide opportunities for a group of novice teachers to share experiences and seek advice. By addressing the challenges that novice teachers face and providing solutions for common problems, it is the hope of this researcher that highly effective teachers will remain in the classroom. The results of the study indicate that the combined use of Twitter and YouTube in collaboration with professional learning communities will improve teacher perceptions of efficacy. Teachers who participated in the social media based professional learning communities are also more likely to remain in the classroom. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ed.D.

In Fred Chappell’s Kirkman tetralogy, narrator Jess Kirkman synthesizes a multiplicity of perspectives for understanding the nature of truth. Blurring the distinction between art and life, Jess's narrative structure mirrors the imaginative reconstruction of experience; the novels are largely non-chronological emotive interactions with and reflections of his most salient memories and imaginings. Synthesizing an impressive cacophony of voices, Jess's stories both describe and apply the wisdom and tales Jess acquires from and with his family members. Each story informs the prior and the next, and the rhizomatic interaction between language, narrative, and reader explores Jess's numerous identities and understandings as narratives venture through space, time, and imagination.

This essay conducts a comparative analysis of the importance of the character Rosaline and the differences in her portrayal in two works: William Shakespeare’s 1590s play Romeo and Juliet and Rebecca Serle’s young adult novel When You Were Mine (2012). The essay especially looks into Rosaline’s importance for Romeo and Juliet’s relationship in the play and the novel. In relation to the play the essay also briefly discusses Franco Zeffirelli’s film adaptation Romeo and Juliet (1968) to show why it is important to keep Rosaline in the story. I argue that Shakespeare and Serle make use of the genres within which they work to tell slightly different versions of the story and Rosaline’s place in it. More specifically, I show how the literary and formal conventions of the genres affect the story by highlighting specific features, characters and events, which results in two works suited for different target audiences. In the end it is clear that Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is made for a Renaissance audience, while When You Were Mine is written for today’s young adults. / I den här uppsatsen genomför jag en jämförande analys gällande karaktären Rosalines betydelse och olikheterna i hennes skildring i två verk: William Shakespeares 1590-talspjäs Romeo och Julia samt Rebecca Serles ungdomsroman When You Were Mine (2012). Uppsatsen undersöker speciellt Rosalines betydelse för Romeo och Julias relation i pjäsen och romanen. I förhållande till pjäsen diskuteras kort Franco Zeffirellis filmadaption Romeo och Julia (1968) för att visa på Rosalines nödvändighet i pjäsen. Jag hävdar att Shakespeare och Serle drar nytta av de olika genrerna de skrivit inom för att berätta två något annorlunda historier och att detta påverkar Rosalines plats i dem. Mer specifikt visar jag hur de olika genrernas litterära och formella konventionerna påverkar historien genom att lyfta fram specifika funktioner, karaktärer så väl som händelser, vilket leder till två olika verk som passar olika målgrupper. I slutändan är det tydligt att Shakespeares Romeo och Julia gjordes för en renässanspublik, medan When You Were Mine skrevs för dagens ungdomar.

Syfte: Pay-What-You-Want (PWYW) är en kundstyrd prissättningsstrategi, där kunden bestämmer priset. Tidigare forskning visar att antalet kunder ökar vid tillämpning av prisstrategin. Studiens syfte är således att analysera samband och förklara ifall variablerna priskänslighet, rättvisa, riskkänslighet och nyfikenhet påverkar konsumentens attraktion till PWYW. Metod: Studien har ett deduktivt tillvägagångssätt för att analysera litteratur och vetenskapliga artiklar. Teorin har deducerat studiens hypoteser för att undersöka samband och kvantitativ metod har används där empirisk data har samlats in med en webbenkät. Resultatet analyseras i SPSS med en faktoranalys och korrelationsanalys. Detta redovisas genom tabeller och figurer samt diskussion. Resultat & slutsats: Studien visar positiva samband mellan attraktion till PWYW och priskänslighet, rättvisa samt nyfikenhet. Sambandet mellan attraktion till PWYW och riskkänslighet visar dock svag korrelation. Däremot indikerar resultatet att det finns fler variabler att ta hänsyn till. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Resultatet indikerar att det saknas faktorer som påverkar konsumentens attraktion till PWYW. Det är av intresse att undersöka hur faktorerna kan nyttjas av företag samt om konsumentens attraktion påverkas ifall prisstrategin inte längre anses ovanlig. Uppsatsens bidrag: Studien är först med att studera konsumentens motivationer till PWYW innan köpmomentet. Studien bidrar med variabler som förklarar varför konsumenter attraheras av en kundstyrd prisstrategi. Studien bidrar likaså med kunskap för forskningen kring PWYW.

The subject of the present paper is an analysis of two formally similar comment clauses (CCs henceforth) you know and you see with the help of a parallel corpus InterCorp. First, the focus is put on their pragmatic functions; it is attempted to find out whether they perform all the functions that can be realized by you-oriented CCs as identified and characterized by Povolná (2010), i.e. whether they can be found both as appealers and empathizers, inform markers and monitors, and whether they prefer a certain sentence-position. Second, the present paper studies the Czech translation counterparts of the selected CCs; it attempts to offer a summary of the strategies concerning the translation of the CCs into Czech and to identify their most typical Czech equivalents. It also examines to what extend the type of the pragmatic function influences the translation. The theoretical part summarizes the history of the phenomenon of CCs and characterizes and describes two approaches generally applied to CCs: CCs as ordinary clause constituents (Quirk et al. (1985)) vs. CCs as discourse markers (Povolná (2010)). Also offered is the treatment of the equivalents of CCs in the Czech grammars (Cvrček et al. (2010), Daneš, Hlavsa et al. (1987) and Karlík and Grepl (1998, 1999)). The methodological part summarizes...
