    F'dan l-istudju se nagħti ħarsa kritika lejn il-manuskritt Dizzjunarju tal-Lsien Malti [sic] li, flimkien ma' xogħlijiet oħra, Michael Agius ippreżenta lil-Librerija tal-Università tà Malta fi-1978 (Ellul, Ħarsa 108). Fl-ewwel parti ta' din il-kitba se nirrapporta dak li sibt wara li għarbilt il-lista tal-kliem ewlieni (headwords) tà Agius u anke l-entrati nfushom u ngħaddi biex nagħmel ipoteżi dwar kienx hemm dizzjunarji oħra li Agius seta' sejjes tiegħu fuqhom u jekk iva liema setgħu kienu. Fit-tieni parti se nagħmel ftit kummenti kritiċi skont qafas għall-analiżi ta' xogħlijiet lessikografiċi (Ellul, Proposta 99-104). Għal raġunijiet prattiċi, nillimita ruħi għall makrostruttura u l-firxa tal-vokabolarju, kif ukoll għall-aspetti ewlenin tal-mikrostruttura: il-grammatika u d-definizzjonijiet.peer-reviewe

    F'dan l-istudju se nistħarreġ u ngħaddi kummenti kritiċi dwar ir-raba' edizzjoni ta' Id-Dizzjunarju Malti u Teżawru ta' Malti Mħaddem (Merlin Publishers, 2016), midmum minn Mario Serracino-Inglott (MSI), skont qafas għall analiżi tà xogħlijiet lessikografiċi (Ellul, 99-104). Nibda billi nikkunsidra dak li fl-ewwel edizzjoni (Merlin Library, 2000) kiteb Ġużè Chetcuti biex jintroduċi d-dizzjunarju kif ukoll dak li fit-tieni edizzjoni (Merlin Library, 2003) qal il-kompilatur stess dwar xogħlu billi dan baqa' jintiret fl-edizzjonijiet li ħarġu wara.peer-reviewe

    Filwaqt li lil hinn minn din il-gżira, dizzjunarji kbar jiġu prodotti bil-ħidma kollettiva ta’ tim magħmul minn diversi professjonisti, tradizzjonalment f’pajjiżna x-xogħlijiet lessikografiċi l-kbar ġew prodotti minn skulari individwali. Hemm xi wħud mil-lessikografiċi lokali li għadhom mhumiex magħrufa daqstant, la fiċ-ċrieki akkademiċi u wisq anqas fost il-pubbliku ġenerali.

    Metaphor For a Post-White Horizon

    No full text
    This project is a counternarrative, in the tradition of Richard Delgado’s The Rodrigo Chronicles, using critical race theory’s storytelling methodology. We present a discussion between a Black scholar and white scholar sharing their experiences as they explore the relationship between Blackness/whiteness and anti-Blackness/white supremacy. The crux of this counternarrative lies in the intersection between the hopelessness one Black scholar feels toward racial progress in America and the desperation of a white scholar as they process the possibilities for a post-white ontological future within the Western academy in the wake of the January 6th Insurrection. The counter-story integrates Afropessimistic thought with the creativity of Afrofuturism to comment on the uses and abuses of Black labor under the white gaze. The conclusion of the counter-story argues for the need of a post-white futurism that imagines a possible future without whiteness and a future that is also not subsistent upon the foundational abuse and overuse of Black labor.

    Building inclusive neighborhoods: assessing the socio-spatial implications of transit-oriented development in St. Louis, Missouri

    No full text
    This dissertation research emphasizes achieving greater urban inclusion through transit-oriented development (TOD). In exploring St. Louis, Missouri's Delmar Loop TOD site, I specifically focus on the impact public transportation activities have on residents in neighborhoods surrounding light rail transit stations. I seek to understand if these developments indeed improve living conditions and urban inclusion for residents in areas around the station. TODs can be desirable spaces for residents, planners, and developers as they potentially enhance economic development, improve regional connectivity, increase transit ridership, among many other benefits and goals. However, this desirability of TODs may lead to the people with the most need for public transportation and improved neighborhood conditions being further marginalized. I argue that TOD activities can indeed assist in establishing non-inclusive spaces. By TOD activities, I refer to TOD plans, plan-making, plan implementation, and developments related to TOD plans. The following research questions guide this research: 1) Does gentrification and TOD related neighborhood change occur in light rail transit station neighborhoods? 2) What principles guide TOD activities? 3) What are the (overall and inclusive) TOD activities planners should undertake? 4) What overall and inclusive TOD activities occur? 5) How can planners better assist in establishing inclusive TOD neighborhoods? I answer these questions through a mixed method analysis, employing both quantitative and qualitative analyses. First, I use spatial regression analyses to explore the relationship between gentrification-related residential change and LRT stations. The results from the analyses point toward St. Louis, Missouri and the Delmar Loop TOD site specifically as a place to further examine gentrification and inclusivity. Second, I undertake a case study of the Delmar Loop utilizing interviews, observations, and document analysis to identify and analyze whether and how planners engage in inclusive TOD activities. I ultimately found that: 1) planners did not assist in establishing the Delmar Loop TOD site as an inclusive neighborhood and; 2) it is not a homogenous neighborhood where all TOD residents and spaces benefit from transit and neighborhood developments. Delmar Loop TOD activities ignored a portion of the TOD site largely occupied by minorities that most needed neighborhood improvements and increased transit access. Overall, the results of this dissertation describe the ways that planners consciously and inadvertently undertake activities that socially, spatially, and economically affect urban spaces largely occupied by minorities and the poor. Demonstrating how such planning activities unfold will show the specific, everyday ways in which blacks, minorities in general, and the poor are marginalized – contributing to the production and reproduction of U.S. urban segregation. The study of the Delmar Loop TOD site is instructive to TOD planners in general as it shows how not maintaining active leadership focusing on inclusion may possibly result in non-inclusive neighborhoods. It is also instructive to planners as it identifies how not identifying existing contextual issues may result in the marginalization of black (and minorities in general) and poor TOD residents. Both of which specifically aim to ensure that the people who need urban inclusion the most are served through projects improving transit access.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2018-08-01The student, Dwayne Baker, accepted the attached license on 2016-06-23 at 18:17.The student, Dwayne Baker, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2016-06-23 at 18:23.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2016-06-24 at 15:54.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9699 on 2016-11-10 at 12:24:41Made available in DSpace on 2016-11-10T18:39:12Z (GMT).
