Disfluency in dialogue:an intentional signal from the speaker?
No full textDisfluency is a characteristic feature of spontaneous human speech, commonly seen as a consequence of problems with production. However, the question remains open as to why speakers are disfluent: Is it a mechanical by-product of planning difficulty, or do speakers use disfluency in dialogue to manage listeners' expectations? To address this question, we present two experiments investigating the production of disfluency in monologue and dialogue situations. Dialogue affected the linguistic choices made by participants, who aligned on referring expressions by choosing less frequent names for ambiguous images where those names had previously been mentioned. However, participants were no more disfluent in dialogue than in monologue situations, and the distribution of types of disfluency used remained constant. Our evidence rules out at least a straightforward interpretation of the view that disfluencies are an intentional signal in dialogue
A rhetorical analysis of selected speeches of Governor George C. Wallace delivered during the 1972 presidential primaries in Florida, Wisconsin, and Michigan
No full textThis thesis has analyzed the 1972 campaign rhetoric of Governor George Corley Wallace in the states of Florida, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Following the pentadic method of Kenneth Burke, this writer determined that in his effort to gain the 1972 Democratic presidential nomination, Wallace employed the following primary and secondary strategies: 1) an attempt to convince his listeners that their problems had been created by those who opposed Wallacel 2) an attempt to agitate without providing solutions; and 3) an attempt to divest himself of images which had been linked with him in the past.In addition, this writer made the following conclusions pertaining to Wallace's 1972 rhetoric: 1) there was a subtle attempt to manipulate hecklers; 2) there was an attempt to adapt to the specific audiences; 3) there was an absence of strong elements of reasoning, organization, and arrangement; and 4) the pentadio analysis is a useful and viable form of rhetorical criticism.Thesis (M.A.
Lifestyle factors and cognitive ageing in the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936: exploring the role of confounding by prior cognitive ability
No full textWith an increase in life expectancy, the number of older people affected by cognitive
decline and dementia is rising, causing major, global public health concerns. However,
there is substantial variation in the rate and magnitude of cognitive decline
experienced among ageing individuals. Evidence suggests that many age-associated
changes in cognitive functioning can be explained by modifiable lifestyle factors such as
smoking, physical activity and diet choices. The weight of the evidence supports the
promotion of a healthy lifestyle as an effective strategy for healthy cognitive ageing.
Many epidemiological studies have drawn causal conclusions with regard to the
positive and direct benefits of lifestyle, yet few have considered the possible
confounding role of prior cognitive ability in explaining the lifestyle and cognition
relationship in older age. Given the potential for reverse causation, whereby better
prior cognitive functioning leads to a greater uptake of healthy behaviours rather than
vice versa, it is a mechanism which should be studied, but rarely is.
The present thesis focuses on the possible confounding effect of prior cognitive ability
on the cross-sectional relationships between lifestyle factors and cognitive ability
domains in later-life. The core of the thesis is a series of independent, peer-reviewed
(six first-author and one co-author) journal articles in the public domain. Data were
derived from the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 study (n = 1091), a sample of relatively
healthy, community-dwelling men and women aged 70 years from Edinburgh, Scotland,
for whom childhood (age 11) mental test scores are available. The lifestyle factors
investigated were caffeine consumption, alcohol consumption, dietary patterns, body
mass index, smoking, serum cholesterol, and physical activity. Cognitive function was
assessed across five major ageing-related domains: age 70 IQ (based on the same test
that was taken in childhood), general cognitive ability (g), processing speed, memory,
and verbal ability. General linear models (ANCOVA) were adjusted for the following
covariates: age; sex; childhood cognitive ability; and socioeconomic status (SES). Other
potential covariates were additionally adjusted for as necessary.
Overall, the positive and significant associations observed between ‘healthy’ lifestyle
factors and better cognitive functions at age 70 were consistent with previous research;
their effect size was around 1% of the variance in cognitive tests scores. However, these
relationships were markedly attenuated (by on average 80%) by a higher childhood
cognitive ability and adult SES; for the most part, associations were reduced to non-significance.
None of the lifestyle factors were consistent predictors of performance
across cognitive domains, though smoking avoidance, a physically active lifestyle, and
moderate intake of alcohol, appeared to have the most potential.
The key novel finding of this thesis is that, in addition to having predictive value for
lifestyle choices over 60 years later, cognitive ability at age 11 accounted for the
majority of the cross-sectional associations between lifestyle factors and cognitive
abilities in later-life. This finding is consistent with the theory of confounding or even
reverse causation. That is, individuals with higher lifetime ‘trait’ cognitive ability may
be more likely to adopt a lifestyle which protects against cognitive decline. Rather than
a unidirectional or indirect effect of health behaviours on cognitive function, the
present findings suggest there may be a dynamic cycle involving cognition, self-management
of health and ultimate cognitive outcomes
The Historical Jesus and the Slave of the Centurion: How the Themes of Slavery, Sexuality, and Military Service Intersect in Matthew 8:5-13.
No full textOshkosh Scholar, Volume 3, 2008 pp. 82-92When the identity of the slave in the Gospel narrative of “The Healing of the
Centurion’s Slave” is studied through historical-critical research, the written and earlier
oral traditions of the story indicate that the miraculous act is true to the historical Jesus.
Also, by exploring the slave’s identity as a slave, same-sex love interest, and military
recruit—and the 1st century C.E. implications thereof—the author concludes that the
historical Jesus understood the sexual relationship between the centurion and his slave,
and healed the latter based on the faith of the former. Jesus never spoke negatively
about homosexuality and never offered sociological or theological discourse pertaining thereto

Detection, Data Analysis, and Astrophysics of Gravitational Waves
No full textIn this thesis, we present a series of methods, applications, and results on the subject of modern gravitational-wave astrophysics. This ranges from the detection of gravitational-wave phenomena to the analysis of detector data to applications of the measurements to astrophysics.
We first introduce the theory, detection, and sources of gravitational waves. We review the characterization of gravitational-wave detector data, and we present a method to identify detector artifacts in gravitational-wave data using only auxiliary detector data.
We then introduce two methods in gravitational-wave data analysis: first, we offer a method for searching detector data for unmodeled gravitational-wave events. Second, we present a method for the rapid estimation and communication of the inclination angle of compact binary mergers.
Finally, we explore three astrophysical applications of some the methods introduced: first, we show the effect of prior knowledge of inclination on the localization of binary black-hole mergers and its applications. Second, we explore the follow-up potential of the Cherenkov Telescope Array to gravitational-wave sources at high energies. Last, we show that publicly available gravitational-wave event information is capable of estimating the chirp masses of gravitational-wave sources, thereby identifying promising mergers for electromagnetic follow-up
School management styles: the effects on family and school partnerships, 1993
No full textThe purpose of this study was to assess the implications which family and school partnerships had for schools which implemented site- based management. Three site-based managed schools, which piloted the program in the Atlanta Public School System (APS) were studied, as were three traditionally managed schools within APS. The independent variable for this study was the type of management at the school; the dependent variables were school and family partnerships. Six types of partnerships were studied using the Taking Stock/For Families and Taking Stock/For Educators questionnaires developed by the National Committee for Citizens in Education. Interviews with school representatives were also done to corroborate and amplify responses to the questionnaires. Information gained from the interviews showed little difference in the ways the two types of schools related to and communicated with families and students. Data from the questionnaires indicated that both families and educators at the traditionally managed schools perceived their schools as doing more to create family-school partnerships than did the families and educators at the site-based managed schools
