constellation あるいはnarrative report of speech actsと定義し, さらには脚韻詩ならではの制約や脚
韻によってペアとなる語の特徴について考察する。Certain groups of words in Middle English verse and prose appear to act as a formulaic expression for the smooth story development and metrical necessities. This essay analyzes the expression, “as the book says,” in the Confessio Amantis by John Gower and its variants to illuminate that certain collocations of words play a more significant role than a simple prefabricated wording and can be one of the metrical devices that may be designated as an aural-narrative constellation or narrative report of speech acts. The essay examines how the expression, “as the book says,” is used by Gower and considers its variants in nine patterns according to different replacement steps. Formulaic expressions in Middle English verse, unlike Old English kennings, are not identical repetitions of the same wording or phrasing but can be found in the recurring collocations in a similar metrical position.departmental bulletin pape
Decoding Classroom Behaviors with Self Determination Theory
Get PDFWhen teachers of English as second language begin teaching in a different
cultural context from their own, the initial experience can be confusing and
frustrating. Student behavior and ways of thinking in the new cultural context
can appear to be quite different from the teacher’s and until the teacher starts to
understand these behaviors and ways of thinking their student behavior can
appear odd, inconsistent and contradictory. It is important therefore to explore
avenues to analyze, understand and classify such behaviors. The psychological
macro-theory Self Determination Theory (SDT) considers human motivation
and behavior to be based on three universal needs, competence, autonomy and
relatedness. For language teachers working in new cultures, it thus offers a
framework to analyze and categorize local behaviors through a global theory.
This article aims to apply SDT to examine and understand amae, a power
sharing social construct that influences Japanese social behavior and
communication. Amae can often be misinterpreted by teachers new to Japan as
immature and dependent behavior. The article looks at the teacher-student
relationship in exploring how amae can be understood through the SDT
framework. If amae can be explained and understood through a common lens it
will assist future language teachers coming to Japan in more quickly grasping
the cultural influence of amae, how to respond to related student behavior and
facilitate a more successful learning environment.departmental bulletin pape
Daburu Bind: Perceptions of the Speech of Mixed Race Japanese
Get PDFThis paper will explore how the Japanese speech of partially or half Japanese people (hafu) is perceived by fully Japanese individuals. While scholarly work has addressed the ways in which the Japanese speech of foreigners is received, this paper will bring critical race studies into the fold and complicate the traditional dichotomous construction that positions Japanese against non Japanese. By locating hafu vis-a-vis the Japanese nation-state and normative constructions of Japanese identity (as monoethnic, monocultural, and monolingual), it will posit that hafu produce a complex subjectivity that unsettles the boundaries of the Japanese state. As a result, the speech of hafu is also subject to particular ideas about the Japanese racial order and cultural norms. Through an analysis of specific media moments, it will highlight how the speech of mixed race Japanese people is expected to be both foreign and familiar, at once erudite and yet somehow deficient. Hafu are commonly questioned about their Japanese speaking ability; they are expected to avoid using keigo and infuse English into their speech.departmental bulletin pape
