“A Crooked Mark” - An Examination of the Effectiveness of Using Authentic Materials in Teaching Apostrophe Use in an ELT Context.
No full textThis thesis focuses on two types of teaching intervention, prescriptive and descriptive, to
determine which type may be more beneficial to English language learners in learning correct
apostrophe application. The role of authentic texts, defined by Morrow (1977: 13) as “a
stretch of real language, produced by a real speaker or writer for a real audience and designed
to carry a real message of some sort”, is also examined, especially their value as an aid to
teaching correct apostrophe use. The study shows that the prescriptive manner in which the
apostrophe is presented in learner textbooks and grammars is often at odds with the way in
which it appears in real-life and authentic-text examples. The ‘greengrocer’s apostrophe’
phenomenon (Beal 2010), and misuse in genitive forms (Hook 1999) are examples of how
everyday use contradicts prescriptive rules of use, causing confusion for students and teachers
alike. Academic writing particularly demands high prescriptive punctuation awareness of
both native and non-native university-level students, and presents challenges for both (Wray
1996; Al Fadda 2012). Thus this study aims to focus on inconsistency in apostrophe
application. Three B2-level groups of students participated in a pre-test/post-test intervention
study, to determine whether prescriptive or descriptive-type intervention would be of greater
benefit to them in apostrophe use. Statistical analysis of pre/post-test scores for two of the
groups found that there was no significant difference between the intervention types, hence
one could not be said to be superior to the other. However, all three groups recorded
difficulties with similar types of apostrophe use, including contracted and genitive singular
forms. A questionnaire was also used to determine student attitudes towards various kinds of
apostrophe errors, revealing contraction errors to be judged most harshly by the participants,
yet demonstrating cross-nationality difficulties with contractions and genitive singular
apostrophe use.N

James Tobin : an appreciation of his contribution to economics.
No full textJim Tobin, who died on March 11, 2002 at the age of 84, was one of giants of economics of the second half of the twentieth century and the greatest macroeconomist of his generation. Tobin’s influence on macroeconomic theory is so pervasive - so much part of our professional ‘acquis’ - that many younger economists often are not even aware that it is his ideas they are elaborating, testing, criticising, refuting or re-inventing. In this Appreciation, I consider Tobin’s scholarly contributions, made over a period of more than 50 years. Tobin received the 1981 Nobel Memorial Prize “for his analysis of financial markets and their relations to expenditure decisions, employment, production and prices”. I consider his contributions to mean-variance portfolio demand and asset pricing theory, especially the Portfolio Separation Theorem; pitfalls in financial model building; portfolio balance and flow of funds models and the ‘credit channel’; the life-cycle model and social security; econometric methodology, including the Tobit estimator and his pioneering work using both time series and cross-sectional data to estimate food demand functions; economic growth; Tobin’s q; the ‘Tobin Tax’ ; the monetary and fiscal policy effectiveness debate, first with Milton Friedman and then with the New Classical Macroeconomics and Real Business Cycle schools; and Tobin’s approach to methodological questions including microfoundations and aggregation.
