Language styles used in Kevin Rudd’s Political speeches thesis
No full textABSTRACT
Language is one of important thing in daily life. It is a media for communication.

According to the reasons above, the writer purposes to find what are the language styles used by Kevin Rudd‘s political speeches and also how the language style used by Kevin Rudd’s political speeches.
In this study, the writer uses descriptive qualitative method because the writer tries to analyze and discuss the sentences or utterances which perform the language styles based on the language style’s level. The writer uses her self as the key instrument to collect and analyze the data that taken from Kevin Rudd’s political speeches in 2008-2009.
After analyzing the data of this study, the writer found twenty data which perform in three characteristics of language styles based on language style’s level such as formal styles, informal style’s, and colloquial styles. However, the most dominant language styles are used by Kevin Rudd’s political speeches is informal styles.

Green Grass Park (Mandarin Chinese) - A SESAME Research Tool
No full textIn the domain of speech elicitation, it is well understood that participants speak differently when producing different kinds of speech. In particular, speakers tend to use more ‘standard’ pronunciations when reading individual words in isolation, as compared to reading words within the context of a sentence, or talking freely off-the-cuff (Labov, 1966). When speakers have a complex task to achieve (e.g., describing everything they can see in a complex picture, speakers typically monitor their speech less, and default to more informal speech styles. We designed a picture description task called Green Grass Park to elicit a small sample of naturalistic speech. Along with other SESAME Research Tools, the Green Grass Park task was designed with multilingualism in mind.
This version of the task has been created for the Singaporean variety of Mandarin Chinese. It was designed to elicit the /y/ vowel and a targeted sibilant contrast

Music for classical guitar by South African composers : a historical survey, notes on selected works and a general catalogue
No full textIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 296-309).This is the first comprehensive investigation of music for, or including, the classical guitar by South African composers. The focus of this research has been, firstly, to uncover as much of the repertoire as possible, and, secondly, to collate, study, catalogue and report on the information. A brief historical survey of the guitar in South Africa provides the context within which this study was conducted. The primary sources of quantitative data collection were through the archival catalogues of the South African Music Rights Organisation and through personal contact with guitarists, composers and guitar teachers. Other sources consulted were publishers, broadcasting corporations, recording companies, libraries and the internet. The body of the dissertation comprises biographical sketches, background notes, analyses and technical notes on 17 selected solo and chamber works dating from 1947 to 2007 by some of South Africa's most prominent composers and guitaristcomposers. The repertoire ranges in style from the traditional and ethnically inspired to the experimental and abstract. As this is an empirical survey, each selected entry includes details on instrumentation, duration, level of difficulty, number of pages, scordatura, commissions or requests, sources or publishers, premières and recordings. A biography of each composer is provided as well as background notes which offer an overview of the selected work. The notes discuss historical, cultural, musical and extra-musical influences, and frequently include references to interview material. The commentaries on the selected works, with musical examples, include an analytical component describing structure, form, stylistic and compositional elements, while the technical observations include performance suggestions and a grading for each work

No full textThis study analyzed how adult attachment styles affect college students using dating apps. Participants (N= 316) provided responses that resulted in quantitative data regarding how their communication apprehension, dating app usage, and satisfaction when using dating apps play a role in their dating life. Findings revealed that attachment styles affect an individual's communication apprehension when they are on dating apps. Results also indicated that an individual's attachment style influences app usage as a dating app user. Interestingly, attachment styles affect how much satisfaction an individual gains from the relationships they establish on dating apps.Embargo status: Restricted to TTU community only.

Sci-comms project manual for open access infographics with Prof Primate
No full textSo, your prof has decided on a science communication project that combines images and text in the form of an infographic.
This manual is designed to help you get started on creating an Infographic for a class science communications project that will become an open access educational resource. The manual contains general sci-comms guidance, instructions for how to author and license your new open access work, as well as information about image rights and referencing, and a design guide. The design guide provides pointers to help you to combine text and images in ways that are interesting without being overwhelming for your audience.
The manual was first created by Prof Primate for students of ‘An Ape’s Guide to Human Language,’ a second-year course in Psychology at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. In our class, everyone is randomly allocated a primate as their target species for individualized project work. This means everyone in the class helps to build up our collective knowledge about primates, to be shared in a Festival at the end of semester. At the end of the manual are additional instructions for the Sci-Comms Project for An Ape’s Guide to Human Language in S2 of 2021, NTU Singapore. Prof Primate hopes this manual will be useful for students of all subjects, and may inspire more Profs to incorporate Open Access Comms projects (Sci-Comms, Ling-Comms etc) into their assessable work
