Previous issue date: 2008-09-25 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / As part of the wider context of Project DIRECT: Em direção à linguagem do
trabalho (PUC-SP/LAEL), this study aims at investigating grammatical elements
that contribute to text cohesion and organization, both below (verbal and nominal
group) and above clause (conjunction and pronominal reference), in the framework
of Systemic-Functional Grammar (Halliday, 1994). It analyses the text structures
(the logical metafunction) of two magazines: the North American Newsweek and
the specifically directed to EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students, the
Brazilian version of Speak up. The study makes use of the computational program
Wordsmith Tools (Scott, 1999). Results show that the Speak up texts have a
structure with more elements of what Bathia (1983) calls language simplification,
characterized by lesser complexity in logical terms: more simple verb tenses,
usually only represented as suffix in the process (simple past, present and future
tenses); more nominal groups with premodifiers and postmodifiers with
prepositional phrases; more coordinate conjunctions and first-person pronouns,
whereas the Newsweek texts evidence greater linguistic elaboration in terms of
textual complexity due to the frequent use of: complex verbal tenses, with
auxiliaries (perfect and progressive tenses, future with going to and passive);
lexically-dense nominal groups due to extensions resulting from information
chaining through the construction of successive nominalizations and defining
relatives clauses; besides reduced clauses, subordinate conjunctions and thirdperson
pronouns / Como parte do contexto mais amplo do projeto DIRECT: Em direção à
linguagem do trabalho (PUC-SP/LAEL), este estudo tem como objetivo investigar
elementos gramaticais que contribuam para organização e coesão do texto, tanto
abaixo (grupo verbal e nominal) quanto acima da oração (conjunção e referência
pronominal), no arcabouço teórico da Gramática Sistêmico-Funcional (Halliday,
1994). Para tanto, analisa as estruturas dos textos (a metafunção lógica) de duas
revistas: a norte-americana Newsweek e a versão brasileira da Speak up, esta
especificamente voltada para estudantes de inglês como língua estrangeira (ILE).
O estudo faz uso do programa computacional Wordsmith Tools (Scott, 1999). Os
resultados mostram que os textos da Speak up contêm uma estrutura com maior
número de elementos do que Bhatia (1983) denomina simplificação da linguagem,
caracterizada por menor complexidade em termos lógicos: tempos verbais mais
simples, em geral representados no processo como sufixo (passado, presente e
futuro simples); mais grupos nominais com pré-modificadores e pós-modificadores
com sintagmas preposicionados; mais conjunções coordenadas e pronomes de
primeira pessoa, ao passo que os textos da Newsweek evidenciam maior
elaboração lingüística em termos de complexidade textual, devido ao uso
freqüente de: tempos verbais complexos, com auxiliar (perfectivo, progressivo,
futuro com going to e passivo); grupos nominais densos lexicalmente como
resultado de extensões decorrentes do encadeamento de informações, por meio
da construção de sucessivas nominalizações e relativas definidoras; além de
orações reduzidas, conjunções subordinadas e pronomes de terceira pessoa

The subaltern `speaks': agency in Neshani Andreas' The purple violet of OshaantuRhode, Aletta Cornelia 30 November 2003 (has links)
This dissertation critically evaluates the issue of the `silencing' of the subaltern woman in the 1988 version of Gayatri Spivak's essay `Can the Subaltern Speak?' The conclusions reached are then related to the novel The Purple Violet of Oshaantu by the Namibian woman writer Neshani Andreas. Chapter 1 deals with the essay `Can the Subaltern Speak?' and the `silenced' subaltern woman, examining both Spivak's theory on this issue as well as criticism of this theory by different postcolonial theorists. Chapter 2 presents aspects of both the creative and political practice of women, specifically the woman writer, in certain countries in Africa. Chapter 3 deals with the novel The Purple Violet of Oshaantu by Neshani Andreas and explores issues like the `silencing' of the subaltern women in the novel, opposition to patriarchal oppression and the engendering of agency by both the writer and the characters in the novel. / English Studies / M.

Till minne av små fötter som drog bort : Teologier i Sven-David Sandströms Requiem / In Memory of Small Feet Fading Away : Theologies in Sven-David Sandström´s RequiemTrygg, Embla January 2022 (has links)
This essay investigates themes and theologies in Requiem: Mute the Bereaved Memories Speakusing a modified version of Material, Moral, Mysterious as presented in God's Song and Music's Meanings: Theology, Liturgy, and Musicology in Dialogue by James Hawkey, Ben Quash and Vernon White (2020). The analysis highlights the central themes victim/perpetrator and the Holocaust as well as sub-themes such as the game, Mary Had a Little Lamb and the sorrow of the children. The theologies found through the analysis are centred around belonging, longing, nothingness, and redemption. These theologies relate and reacts to the Holocaust as well as the existential state of being a human.

Une race qui ne sait pas mourir: une analyse de la race dans plusieurs textes littéraires québécoisScott, Cora 19 November 2013 (has links)
Cette thèse présente une étude de la représentation de la race et son rôle dans la formation des discours littéraires et identitaires au Québec. À partir de la phrase célèbre de Félix-Antoine Savard, « une race qui ne sait pas mourir », jusqu’au roman de l’écrivain haïtien Dany Laferrière, Je suis un écrivain japonais, en passant par L’appel de la race de Lionel Groulx, sans oublier les propos sanglants de Michèle Lalonde dans Speak White et ceux de Pierre Vallières dans Nègres blancs d’Amérique, la littérature canadienne-française et québécoise est hantée par la question de la race. C’est précisément à cause de la présence persistante, souvent angoissante, du concept que je me propose d’en analyser les modalités discursives et les significations dans des textes écrits à divers moments clés entre 1839 et 2008: le rapport de Lord Durham (1839); L’appel de la race (1922) de Lionel Groulx; Menaud, maître-draveur (1937) de Félix-Antoine Savard; Ashini (1960) d’Yves Thériault; Speak White (1974) de Michèle Lalonde; Nègres blancs d’Amérique (1972) de Pierre Vallières; Comment faire l’amour avec un Nègre sans se fatiguer (1985) et Je suis un écrivain japonais (2008) de Dany Laferrière; et Quatre mille marches (2004) de Ying Chen. Pour ce faire, cette thèse se situe dans un cadre théorique interdisciplinaire qui intègre la théorie critique de la race, le féminisme et la théorie queer.

Determinants of Health Care Use Among Rural, Low-Income Mothers and Children: A Simultaneous Systems Approach to Negative Binomial Regression ModelingValluri, Swetha 01 January 2011 (has links) (PDF)
The determinants of health care use among rural, low-income mothers and their children were assessed using a multi-state, longitudinal data set, Rural Families Speak. The results indicate that rural mothers’ decisions regarding health care utilization for themselves and for their child can be best modeled using a simultaneous systems approach to negative binomial regression. Mothers’ visits to a health care provider increased with higher self-assessed depression scores, increased number of child’s doctor visits, greater numbers of total children in the household, greater numbers of chronic conditions, need for prenatal or post-partum care, development of a new medical condition, and having health insurance (Medicaid/equivalent and HMO/private). Child’s visits to a health care provider, on the other hand, increased with greater numbers of chronic conditions, development of a new medical condition, and increased mothers’ visits to a doctor. Child’s utilization of pediatric health care services decreased with higher levels of maternal depression, greater numbers of total children in the household, if the mother had HMO/private health care coverage, if the mother was pregnant, and if the mother was Latina/African American. Mother’s use of health care services decreased with her age, increased number of child’s chronic conditions, income as a percent of the federal poverty line, and if child had HMO/private health care insurance. The study expands the econometric techniques available for assessing maternal and pediatric health care use and the results contribute to an understanding of how rural, low-income mothers choose the level of health care services use for themselves and for their child. Additionally, the results would assist in formulating policies to reorient the type of health care services provided to this vulnerable population.
