Silent Voice: Buberian Philosophy And Nonverbal Disability
Get PDFIndividuals who are developmentally disabled and nonverbal, possessing little if any symbolic expressive or receptive language, are virtually invisible in the United States. This study presupposes that all persons, including those who are nonverbal and/or developmentally disabled, have a unique “voice” and contribution to the communication practices of humanity and society. This philosophical study analyzes the qualities of communication of developmentally disabled, nonverbal individuals and their communication partners through the lens of Martin Buber’s dialogic philosophy. Conclusions suggest: 1) developmentally disabled, nonverbal persons do relate and communicate, and definitions of “communication” and “dialogue” should include those who do not think and/or articulate symbolically; 2) communication partners of developmentally disabled, nonverbal persons have the ability and therefore responsibility to regard them as equal in shared humanity; and 3) developmentally disabled, nonverbal persons, being inherently equal to all others, are due the same quality of lifelong, developmental opportunity owed to all citizens
Communication Apprehension And Its Effects On Online Readiness Skills
Get PDFThis project developed an assessment instrument testing student communication apprehension in the online environment. The instrument assessed communication apprehension that might be linked to online written communication, computer, and self-regulated learning readiness skills. The development of the instrument is informed by recent scholarship, as well as qualitative research on a community college campus, which sought to investigate and surface the communication apprehension that online students negotiate. This qualitative project utilized two research methods: focus group research of ten online students (five females and five males ranging in age from 18 to 60) and field research interviews of four online teachers (two females and two males ranging in age from 25 to 50) from Sandhills Community College. The data analysis consisted of performing an analysis of descriptive responses about communication apprehension and online written communication, computer, and self-regulated learning readiness skills in online courses. Based on the categorical concept results, a new communication apprehension assessment instrument was produced based on three previous models: Richmond, Wrench, and Gorham’s (2001) Classroom Anxiety Measure; Richmond, Smith, Heisel, and McCroskey’s (1998) Fear of Physician; and Richmond’s (1978) Situational Communication Apprehension Measure. Further recommendations for this project would be to test the communication apprehension assessment instrument for reliability and validity

The TAR folder contains linguistic data in three formats: Database: This is the format allows for the most robust searches and allows for powerful JOINs across corpus, lexicon, and source tables but requires knowledge of SQL. See Full-text corpus data for more information on how to use the database format. Linear Text: This format provides a textID for each text, and then the entire text on the same line. In this format, words are not annotated for part of speech or lemma. In addition, contracted words like can\u27t are separated into two parts (ca n\u27t) and punctuation is separated from words (eye level . As her). Word, Lemma, Part of Speech: Texts are separated by a line with ## and the textID
