Picturebook people:Illustrator Michael Kirkham pays tribute to the Provensens
No full textPicturebook People is a review of the book The Art of Alice & Martin Provensen (Chronicle Chroma) for graphic design journal Eye Magazine. With growing interest in late picture book author and illustrators Alice and Martin Provensen demonstrated by the recent publication of three books by or about them, it seemed an appraisal of this book – the closest thing to a critical monograph on the couple – was timely and important. The aim of the review was to introduce uninitiated readers to the context and significant cultural contributions of the subjects and provide a critical reflection on the valuable material but somewhat superficial scope of the book. It is hoped this will function as a prompt to future authors in addressing the gaps left in the literature. Information was gathered from the book under review, interviews and editorial pieces published about the subjects, and their own work. Ideas were developed through writing and discussion with academic and publishing colleagues and through editorial input from Eye Magazine. The book was photographed by Kirkham in the DJCAD Production Studio. The review was published on the prominent graphic design journal Eye Magazine’s website where it will be searchable and accessible indefinitely.</p

A typology of laterals in twelve English dialects
No full textAllophonic patterns of variation in English laterals have been well studied in phonetics and phonology for decades, but establishing broad generalizations across varieties has proven challenging. In this study, we advance a typology of onset/coda lateral distinctions in English, using crowdsourced recordings from 95 speakers across twelve dialects of Anglo (UK) English. Results confirm the existence of dialects with and without onset/coda distinctions, and conditional inference trees are used to identity three main patterns in the data: (1) clear onsets and dark codas; (2) intermediate/dark onsets and dark codas, but with a positional distinction intact; (3) dark onsets and dark codas, with minimal or no distinctions between positions
Internationalization of soil physics from an American perspective
No full textCitation: Kirkham, M. “Internationalization of Soil Physics from an American Perspective.” International Agrophysics 26, no. 2 (April 1, 2012): 181–85. https://doi.org/10.2478/v10247-012-0026-6.Upon the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Soil Science Society of America in 2011, a session was held at its annual meeting to document howthe field has changed over the years. I was asked to give the long-term perspective for soil physics. I surveyed soil-physics research published by the society over the past six years (2005-2011) and compared it with a review done in 1961 upon the twenty-fifth anniversary of the society. Of the 299 papers in my survey, 186 came from outside the USA (62% of the total). Twenty-nine countries were represented with the People’s Republic of China having the most papers (27 papers). In the 1961 review, only five countries outside the USA were cited. My survey showed that 48 papers (16%) dealt with water, 35 (12%) with
mechanical properties, 19 (6%) with aeration, 18 (6%) with solute transport, 14 (5%) with repellency, and 10 (3%) with temperature. Of the non-USA papers in the survey, 27% gave no source of funding and the other 73% usually cited funding by the government of the corresponding author. Of the USA papers, 47% cited no source of funding. The results showed that soil-physics research has become heavily international
Personal style and epistemic stance in classroom discussion
No full textThis article reports on an analysis of stance-taking in the university classroom, examining how students position themselves in relation to academic knowledge through the epistemic phrases I don’t know and I think. Analysis of specific interactional moments reveals that the meaning of discourse forms is largely indeterminate without an understanding of (1) the immediate discourse context; (2) the place of linguistic forms in an individual’s stylistic repertoire; and (3) the ideologies and social categories that frame that stylistic repertoire. Differential knowledge distribution amongst the students places constraints on what certain individuals can do with particular linguistic forms and this analysis reveals how they utilize the same linguistic resources in different ways in order to do different identity work. Through detailed interactional analysis, I demonstrate that our ability to evaluate classroom discussion as a social practice relies upon our ability to situate that practice within an understanding of individual speakers’ personal styles and the social ideologies that frame them
