Hock, Hans Henrich The fact that the final -m of PIE *gwem- is reflected as -n in Greek baino, Latin uenio, and related forms has given rise to a number of different accounts, the most common of which explains the n as the result of some kind of assimilation. I review the various proposed accounts and argue that similarity between Greek and Latin n is accidental. The Latin n results from analogical extension of the third singular root aorist form, in which -n results from sound change. The Greek n reflects regular sound changes connected with across-the-board palatalization in that language. historical linguistics, language change, proto-indo-european, greek, italic, latin, oscan, umbrian Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/2142/13860 Packaging social worlds: Micro- and macro-social replication in mass-mediated discourse Hallett, Jill This paper provides an analysis of heteroglossic mass-mediated discourse for a National Public Radio (NPR) segment. Two Chicago teenagers covered the story of five-year-old Eric Morse, who was pushed to his death from a fourteenth-story housing project window. On a micro-discursive level, each voice represented in this segment is an amalgamated blend of lived experiences with respect to this tragedy and the events surrounding it, as well as participation in speech chains of mass-communicative, historical, and segmental natures. While presented as a documentary examining a major news event in depth through "authentic" correspondents, this segment is edited and packaged to appeal to a certain demographic. Macrosociological constructs of race, class, and social position are reflected in these highly localized discourses as these experiences are edited and "packaged" for a specific listening audience. sociolinguistics, voicing, footing, discourse analysis Thu, 01 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/2142/13625 Seeing is Believing: The Strategy Behind Campaign Imagery and its Impact on Voters Swigger, Nathaniel As television ads have become the primary tool of communication in American campaigns, research on campaign effects has focused more and more attention on how these ads influence the electorate. Little attention has been paid, however, to the visual content of these ads. Despite a format that delivers an enormous quantity of visual information, most research has focused only on the words spoken during the ad and the little research done on campaign images has focused only on emotional effects. But can voters learn something with the sound turned off? Do voters use campaign images to make inferences about a candidate’s issue positions and ideology? I use a multi-method approach to examine how voters use the information contained in campaign imagery to learn about the candidate. While most campaign strategists focus on voters’ social identities when designing the look of campaign ads, I find little evidence that viewers respond to campaign images based on identity congruence. Instead, people use the images shown in an ad to make substantive inferences about the candidate, and they incorporate those inferences into their overall evaluation of the candidate in the same way that they would use an explicit verbal statement. Because of the power of images within ads and their relatively low cost (practically and strategically), political candidates can realize enormous benefits by designing campaign images that appeal to voters’ policy preferences. political behavior campaigns imagery political psychology campaign ads campaign strategy Sat, 22 Aug 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/2142/13319 Atlas of Illinois resources.
