The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author

To achieve the objectives of the study, five research questions were formulated and were answered. It examined among others; level of awareness of the available print journals in Kashim Ibrahim Library to the Postgraduate students, accessible of the print journals in Kashim Ibrahim Library to the Postgraduate students, relevancy of the print journals in Kashim Ibrahim Library to the Postgraduate Students, level of use of the print journals in Kashim Ibrahim Library by the Postgraduate students and the challenges to effective use of the print journals in Kashim Ibrahim Library by the Postgraduate students in Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. The research adopted quantitative research method and survey research design; instrument used were questionnaires. The data collected for the study were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Questionnaires that were returned were analyzed using simple percentages and frequency count. The study discovered that Postgraduate students in Ahmadu Bello University are Highly Aware of the availability of print journals in Kashim Ibrahim Library, the print journals in Kashim Ibrahim Library are Highly Accessible by the postgraduate students in Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, the print journals in Kashim Ibrahim Library are relevant to all the postgraduate students in all the faculties in Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria except to postgraduate students in faculty of Engineering, the print journals in Kashim Ibrahim Library are being used by the postgraduate students in all the faculties in Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria except for three faculties which are Faculty of Administration, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Faculty of Education and Faculty of Engineering and that, the major challenges to efficient use of print journals by the postgraduate students in Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria are that; the print journals in Kashim Ibrahim Library are outdated, there are limited copies of print journals are available, postgraduate students do not know how to locate print journals on the shelves. The study then concluded that the postgraduate students in Ahmadu bello University Zaria are aware of the print journals in Kashim Ibrahim Library and that; they access them and perceive them to be relevant to them and that; majority of the postgraduate students in all the faculties use them despite they encounter some challenges which deny its efficient use. The factors to the efficient use of print journals include; outdated print journals in the library, limited print journals are available, many PG students cannot locate the print journals on the shelves and recommendations were made that; the management of Kashim Ibrahim Library should maintain the high level of awareness, so as to encourage more patronage at the side of the postgraduate students of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, the librarians should provide and maintain the easy accessibility of the print journals in Kashim Ibrahim Library, the library should acquire more relevant print journals especially, for postgraduate students in Faculty of Engineering, the management of the library should encourage high level of usage of print journals through organizing and reorganizing programs such as seminal and library orientation for postgraduate students, the library management should acquire current print journals, more copies of the print journals, and lastly, provide library guide or organograms to give direction to where library journals are situate
Language Change and SA-OT: The case of sentential negation
No full textSimulated Annealing for Optimality Theory (SA-OT) updates Optimality Theory by adding a model of performance to a theory of linguistic competence. Our aim is to show that SA-OT can contribute to language change simulations. Performance "errors" are considered to be one of the causes of variation and change. We have chosen to model the evolution of sentential negation (SN). The descriptive background adopts Jespersen's Cycle, according to which the evolution of sentential negation follows three main stages (1. pre-verbal, 2. discontinuous, and 3. post-verbal). Therefore, we advance a novel model for SN, based on SA-OT. It reproduces the three pure and the two observed mixed stages, whereas it correctly predicts the lack of an intermediate stage between 3 and 1. The success of the approach corroborates the computational, performance-based approach to the data. Finally, we employ the iterated learning paradigm to reproduce historical changes in a "simulated corpus study". This enterprise turns out to be more difficult than one would naively believe.Appeared open access as: Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands Journal (CLIN), vol. 1 (2011), pp. 21-40, and is available at http://www.clinjournal.org/sites/default/files/Lopopolo.pdfA.

Ibrahim El-Salahi: A Visionnary Modernist
No full textPremière monographie consacrée au modernisme en Afrique, l’exposition et son catalogue retracent le parcours d’Ibrahim El-Salahi, de son Soudan originel à sa formation internationale (à Londres et à New York).
