Children on the autism spectrum often demonstrate little variability in their use of language and interaction in social situations. Some of these difficulties have historically been attributed to weak or absent perspective-taking abilities. Relational Frame Theory has recently emerged as a framework for understanding complex social behavior and cognition, including perspective-taking, from an ecological viewpoint. Previous studies have illustrated the applicability of such a framework with children from ranging from pre-school to school-age, with and without an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Despite early support for these approaches, researchers have strived to deliver these intervention protocols in more naturalistic and naturally-occurring contexts. The purpose of this study was to further extend a relational training protocol into naturalistic contexts (e.g., social situations free of adult prompting). This study utilized a novel protocol in which a same-aged peer delivered an intervention to improve the relational responding thought to underpin perspective-taking abilities. Through developing software specific to relational responding and child-use, school-age children appropriately delivered a multiple exemplar teaching protocol across multiple levels of difficulty. Results indicate that a relational training protocol delivered using technology was effective in improving relational repertoires (e.g., perspective-taking), could be implemented by a school-age student and was preferred over traditional teaching methods. / School Psychology

Ce mémoire, “Deictic Shifts and Discursive Strategies in Othello”, est une étude des outils linguistiques et les stratégies utilisées par les différents personnages de la pièce. Il explore la façon dont le texte est construit et les différentes techniques qui le régissent de l'intérieur. Il étudie également l'utilisation de certains outils tels que les déplacements, les références déictiques indexicaux, les actes de langage et la rhétorique, et la façon dont ils permettent aux intervenants d'obtenir des résultats différents en fonction de la situation où ils sont. Ce travail est divisé en trois chapitres: le premier est consacré aux discours publics où je trace les différentes techniques utilisées par les personnages tel que la monopolization de la parole, la défense ou la persuasion de leurs interlocuteurs. Le deuxième chapitre se concentre sur les discours orientés vers une seule personne et montre comment les discours peuvent être utilisés pour avoir un effet sur l’interlocuteur. La première partie de ce chapitre traite de la sémiotique de choc. La deuxième partie est consacrée à la sémiotique de la tromperie et de manipulation. Le dernier chapitre est consacré aux soliloques et met l'accent sur l'écart entre les paroles de Iago et les réponses émotionnelles ainsi que les changements dans la personnalité d'Othello et de l'effet connexe de ces changements sur sa langue. / This thesis, Deictic Shifts and Discursive Strategies in Othello, is a study of the linguistic tools and strategies used by different characters in the play. It explores how the text is built and the different techniques that govern it from within. It also studies the use of certain tools such as deictic shifts, indexical references, speech acts, and rhetoric, and the way they allow the speakers to achieve various results depending on the situation they are in. This thesis is divided into three chapters: the first is dedicated to the public-oriented speeches wherein I trace the different techniques used by the characters to monopolize the conversational floor, defend themselves or convince their addressees. The second chapter focuses on the one-addressee oriented discourses and shows how discourse can be used to have an effect on the addressee. The first part of this chapter deals with the semiotics of shock. The second part is dedicated to the semiotics of deception and manipulation. The last chapter deals with soliloquies and focuses on the discrepancy between Iago’s words and emotional responses as well as the changes in Othello’s personality and the related effect of these changes on his language.

Por essa razão, é também um estudo sobre a subjetividade. Propõe que há uma dimensão dêitica no processo de construção de referência no discurso, uma vez que o sujeito está implicado no que diz. Fundamenta-se nas teorias de Benveniste e Bakhtin. Da contribuição de Benveniste, traz a idéia de que a subjetividade está implicada em todo uso feito da linguagem. Da contribuição de Bakhtin, a concepção de que esse sujeito que advém na enunciação é constituído na interação viva com as vozes sociais. Tomando como objeto de investigação cartas de Caio Fernando Abreu que tematizam a síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida (AIDS), busca descrever, a partir da materialidade lingüística, o modo como o enunciador subjetiva a experiência de encontrar-se diante da morte. Para alcançar esse objetivo, a análise é apresentada em dois momentos: no primeiro, busca-se, em cada carta, situar o quadro da enunciação. Particularmente, observa-se como a / This monograph focuses on the reference issue from the enunciating perspective. Thus, it is also a study on subjectivity. It proposes that there is a deictic dimension within the process of reference creation on discourse, since the subject is implied in what she or he says. It is grounded on Benveniste’s and Bakhtin’s theories. From Benveniste’s contribution, it brings the idea that subjectivity is entailed whenever language is used. From Bakhtin’s contribution, it brings the concept according to which the subject that comes out through enunciation is built within live interaction with social voices. Taking as our research object the letters from Caio Fernando Abreu that talks about Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), it tries to describe, from linguistic materiality, the way how enunciator subjectivizes the experience of finding himself in the face of death. In order to reach this goal, our analyses are presented in two moments: in the first one, we try, in each letter, to establish the situation of

A análise explora a idéia de que os adjuntos adnominais introduzidos por de não devem ser tratados como constituintes preposicionados, mas DPs/NPs que ganham a preposição tardiamente, no componente morfo-fonológico. Para os sintagmas introduzidos por em, com, para e certas preposições complexas (do tipo dentro de, em cima de, atrás de etc.), defende-se a hipótese de que esses constituintes dispõem de uma arquitetura clausal, abarcando categorias paralelas às identificadas no domínio sentencial (Koopman (1997), Den Dikken (2003)). Dentro dessa arquitetura, DPs podem ser inicialmente inseridos na posição de especificador da categoria p (light preposition), no sentido proposto por Svenonius (2004a). O estudo também recorre à proposta de Hornstein, Nunes & Pietroski (2006) em torno da configuração de adjunção, mostrando que a noção de adjunção sem rótulo defendida por esses autores é capaz de capturar uma série de fatos que envolvem a extração tanto de constituintes preposicionados quanto de sintagmas nominais modificados por tais constituintes. O estudo conclui que as principais diferenças entre os adjuntos introduzidos por de, de um lado, e por em, com e para, de outro, se devem exatamente ao fato de aqueles não portarem uma estrutura clausal, mas se configurarem como verdadeiros DPs/NPs / Abstract: Adopting the Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1995, 2000, 2001), this thesis concentrates on adnominal prepositional phrases in Brazilian Portuguese, proposing a formal picture to account for syntatic and semantic properties of adjuncts introduced by de 'of¿, em 'in, on¿, com 'with¿ e para 'for¿. I explore the idea that adnominal adjuncts introduced by de are not prepositional phrases, but DPs/NPs that receive the preposition only in the PF branch. In respect of em, com, para and some complex prepositions, it is considered that phrases introduced by such items exhibit a clausal architecture, with categories similar to the ones identified in sentential domains (Koopman (1997), Den Dikken (2003)). It will be proposed that modified DPs can be inserted in the specifier position of p (light preposition), following Svenonius (2004a). The analysis also explore Hornstein, Nunes & Pietroski¿s (2006) proposal for adjunct configurations, showing that the notion of unlabeled adjunction is capable of explaining relevant properties involving the extraction of prepositional phrases and modified nominal constituents. The thesis concludes that the main semantic and syntatic differences between de and em/com/para adjuncts result from the fact that de adnominal phrases don¿t have a prepositional clausal structure, but correspond to true DPs/NPs in the syntax / Doutorado / Doutor em Linguística

Studien syftar till att undersöka sambandet mellan tal och gester utifrån lärares resonemang och språkbruk i klassrummet. Studien utgår från ett förkroppsligande perspektiv där begreppen deiktiska gester, metaforiska gester, ikoniska gester och rytmiska gester återfinns. Begreppen är hämtade från McNeills (1992) indelning av gester i olika kategorier. För insamling av data användes ostrukturerad observation och semistrukturerad intervju. Resultatet från observationerna visade att deiktiska rörelser, främst att peka mot tavlan, var den mest förekommande gesten hos lärarna och de rytmiska gesterna förekom inte alls. De näst mest förekommande gesterna var metaforiska gester som symboliserar en abstrakt idé, någon handling som utförs. Genom intervjuerna framkom att lärarna ansåg det viktigt att använda gester i undervisningen. Studiens didaktiska implikation blir att gesterna tillför liv och rörelse i undervisningen och är en bra hjälp för att förtydliga ord och begrepp både för elever med svenska som första språk och elever med svenska som andraspråk. Av studiens resultat dras slutsatsen att gester och verbal kommunikation är en användbar kombination i undervisningen för att eleverna ska ta till sig budskapet.

I denna studie undersöks hur de svenska rörelseverben komma och gå används för att bilda perspektiv när de används i tredje person i två klassiska svenska romaner. Vidare undersöks vilka faktorer som påverkar perspektivbildningen och om perspektiven är konsistenta eller inkonsistenta. Paradigmatiska och lexikala relationer mellan komma och gå har undersökts med hjälp av substitutionstest. Komma och gå är polysema verb, men det är enbart den primära grundbetydelsen av verben som används vid perspektivbildning. Som visats i andra studier är empatisk identifikation vanlig vid perspektivbildning.Inkonsistenta perspektiv är sällsynta och substitution leder till ogrammatiska eller icke idiomatiska meningar i hälften av fallen. Detta talar för att det enbart är i vissa sammanhang som rörelseverben komma och gå fungerar som deiktiska motsatspar. / This study examines how the Swedish verbs of motion komma and gå (’come’ and ’go’) are used to form perspective when they are used in the third person in two classic Swedish novels. Furthermore, it examines which factors influence the formation of perspectives and whether the perspectives are consistent or inconsistent. Paradigmatic and lexical relations between komma and gå have been investigated using substitution tests. Komma and gå are polysemous verbs, but only the primary basic meaning of the verbs is used in perspective formation. As shown in other studies, empathic identification is common in perspective formation. Inconsistent perspectives are rare, and substitution leads to ungrammatical or non-idiomatic sentences in half of the cases. This suggests that it is only in certain contexts that the motion verbs komma and gå function as deictic pairs of opposites.

The interpretation of deictic expressions can only be made in relation to a specific reference point (the deictic centre). Five deictic categories are distinguished. Person deixis concerns the deictic persons, that is the speaker, the addressee and possibly a third person if he/she/it is present in the speech situation. Person deixis is mainly reflected in the concordia! and the pronominal system of Northern Sotho. Social deixis refers to those expressions which reflect the speaker's attitude towards the addressee or the third person. Such expressions include lexical items which reflect the speaker's admiration, dislike or respect towards the addressee, as well as kinship terms and vocatives. Although the pronominal system of Northern Sotho is neutral with regard to sex, there are other linguistic ways in which gender distinctions can be drawn. Place deictic expressions are used to identify the location of an object relative to the deictic centre. The location of the speech participants or their bodies may constitute this deictic centre. Demonstratives, demonstrative-copulatives, locational copulatives, locative adverbs and certain verbs are used for this purpose in Northern Sotho. Time deixis is mainly lexicalised by means of temporal adverbs and grammaticalised by means of tense morphemes in the Northern Sotho verb. The interpretation of these expressions depends on the deictic centre (time when the utterance is made). Time adverbs as well as the tenses describe the time of an event. These structures will indicate whether the action took place before coding time (past tense), whether it will take place after coding time (future tense), or whether it coincides with coding time (present tense). Discourse deixis pertains to those expressions which are used to refer to parts of the discourse, or to nominal antecedents of which the referent is not present in the extra-linguistic context of the utterance. Demonstratives, demonstrative copulatives, third person pronouns, certain adverbs, identifying copulatives, certain qualificatives and certain conjunctions are used for this purpose in Northern Sotho. / African Languages / D Litt. et Phil.
