Miller Williams, 28th Annual ODU Literary Festival
No full textMiller Williams, born in the Arkansas hills, is the author of 30 books of poetry, criticism and history and was the inaugural poet for the second inauguration of William Jefferson Clinton. His stories, translations, poems and critical essays have appeared in most of the seminal journals in English, and his poems have been translated into several languages. His work has been recognized by the Henry Bellaman Poetry Prize, the Amy Lowell Award in Poetry from Harvard University, the New York Arts Fund Award for Significant Contribution to American Letters, the Prix de Rome for Literature and the Academy Award for Literature, both from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He holds honorary doctorates from Lander College and Hendrix College, received the Poets’ Prize, the Charity Randall Citation for Contribution to Poetry as a Spoken Art from the International Poetry Forum, and the John William Corrington Award for Literary Excellence. In 1999 the multinational editorial board of Voices International named him one of the best 20 poets in the world now writing in English, and he was selected by a board of teachers, librarians and writers as one of the 500 most important poets of all languages in the 20th century. Among his many books are Patterns of Poetry: An Encyclopedia of Forms, Points of Departure, The Ways We Touch, and Some Jazz a While: Collected Poems (all from the University of Illinois Press). In 2002 the University of Georgia Press published The Lives of Kelvin Fletcher: Stories Mostly Short. Poems of Miller Williams is available on cassette from Spoken Arts, and the University of Missouri Press has published a collection of essays by 13 scholars and poets, edited by Michael Burns, under the title Miller Willliams and the Poetry of the Particular
Differences in use without deficiencies in competence: passives in the Turkish and German of Turkish heritage speakers in Germany
No full textDetermining how and why adult outcomes of heritage speaker (HS) bilingualism differ from monolinguals is difficult because it requires the reconstruction of developmental paths from end-state data. In an effort to address this issue, we examine HSs of Turkish in Germany at an early age of development (10-15 years old, n=22), as well as age-matched monolingual controls in Turkey (n=20) and Germany (n=20), using a structured elicitation task for production of passives. The goal is to see whether HSs have the representation of passives in their mental grammars and to better understand the relative weight of factors (age at time of testing, immigration status of the Turkish parents (first or second generation), and literacy in the L1) that potentially contribute to the formation of HSs’ grammatical competence. The results show that all HSs have the underlying representation for passives in both Turkish and German. There was a significant effect of only literacy; high level of L1 literacy has a positive effect on monolingual-like production as compared to those with no literacy. We discuss these results pertaining to explicating ultimate attainment outcomes in heritage language acquisition in relation to larger debates in the field

Language dominance and transfer selection in L3 acquisition
No full textThis study examines the role Language Dominance plays in determining the source of transfer in the Initial Stages of L3 processing by investigating Negative Quantifiers in L3 English to discriminate between two possible sources of transfer in the L3 grammar of Catalan/Spanish early bilinguals. Using a Self-Paced Reading technique, two groups of early bilinguals differing in their dominant language were tested: Catalan-dominant (n = 13) and Spanish-dominant (n = 9). Our results provide evidence that Language Dominance (LD) does not trump other traditionally-assumed variables in determining the source of transfer. Additionally, the data provide evidence that true beginners of an L3 are sensitive to morphosyntactic violations when their procedural knowledge of the L3 is examined, meaning that applying methodologies that tap procedural knowledge in L3 acquisition is viable and needed (cf. Rothman, Alemán Bañón, & González Alonso, 2015)
Maine’s Marines: The Search for Remembrance of the Great War
No full textOf the 32,083 Maine men who served in World War I, approximately twenty-four did so as enlistees in the United States Marine Corps. While Maine marines at that time represented only a small percentage of servicemen, they participated in some of the most significant battles in the war, battles that boosted the morale of the Allied forces in Europe, bolstered military recruitment efforts in the United States, and, by many estimates, helped turn the tide of the war. In the following article, author J. Michael Miller offers a remembrance of some of these marines by naming them and providing an account of their deaths. He also provides context for the conditions under which they served and imagines what they may have experienced by examining the recollections of war correspondent Floyd Gibbons, whose reporting elevated the profile of the marines, both at home and abroad. In doing so, Miller also provides an overview of some sources on Maine in WWI, which other researchers might find useful for future projects. Miller retired in 2016 from the Marine Corps History Division after over three decades of service, including as director of the archives. He is currently writing a multi-volume history of the marines in WWI
Impact of injury location and severity on posttraumatic epilepsy in the rat: role of frontal neocortex
No full textHuman posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE) is highly heterogeneous, ranging from mild remitting to progressive disabling forms. PTE results in simple partial, complex partial, and secondarily generalized seizures with a wide spectrum of durations and semiologies. PTE variability is thought to depend on the heterogeneity of head injury and patient's age, gender, and genetic background. To better understand the role of these factors, we investigated the seizures resulting from calibrated fluid percussion injury (FPI) to adolescent male Sprague-Dawley rats with video electrocorticography. We show that PTE incidence and the frequency and severity of chronic seizures depend on the location and severity of FPI. The frontal neocortex was more prone to epileptogenesis than the parietal and occipital, generating earlier, longer, and more frequent partial seizures. A prominent limbic focus developed in most animals, regardless of parameters of injury. Remarkably, even with carefully controlled injury parameters, including type, severity, and location, the duration of posttraumatic apnea and the age and gender of outbred rats, there was great subject-to-subject variability in frequency, duration, and rate of progression of seizures, indicating that other factors, likely the subjects' genetic background and physiological states, have critical roles in determining the characteristics of PTE
