“Obeah” and Other Martinican Stories
Author: Marie-Magdeleine CarbetPublisher: MSU Press
ISBN: 162895289X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
This volume comprises French versions and English translations of seven short stories written by Marie-Magdeleine Carbet, Martinique’s most prolific woman writer. Four of these stories are previously unpublished, culled from documents obtained from Carbet’s niece. While analyses of the literature of the French Caribbean have tended to portray these people typically as suffering from pathologies of colonial oppression, the situations and reflections presented in these stories offer different perspectives on the lives and concerns of ordinary Martinicans and thus provide insight into some of the missing links of the sociocultural scene. This unique, multifaceted text fills an important pedagogical and scholarly need, and allows the reader to access the daily lives of French Caribbeans in a significantly authentic way.

Kalevala et traditions orales du monde
Author: M. M. Jocelyne FernandezPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Epic literature
Languages : fr
Pages : 648
Book Description
4e de couv. : Accédant à l'écrit il y a 150 ans à peine, le Kalevala finnois est l'une des épopées nationales les plus traduites au monde. Son exégèse n'est plus à faire, ni l'inventaire des thèmes populaires stylisés par son compilateur. Explorer, par contre, les traditions orales authentiques qui le sous-tendent, dont certaines encore vivantes, dans cette aire fennique et baltique aisément méconnue des civilisations occidentales, était une séduisante entreprise. Et, plus encore, les conffronter à d'autres joyaux du patrimoine oral de l'humanité : les rites, les mythes et les musiques traditionnels d'Occitanie, d'Europe centrale, d'Afrique, d'Asie, d'Amérique indienne, d'Océanie ... Avec, au bout du parcours, un autre rapprochement audacieux : un pont dressé entre l'Oralité ancestrale, anonyme, et l'Oralité quotidienne de la communication, entre la tradition collective et l'énonciation dialogique. Telles sont les dimensions de cette originale rencontre entre spécialistes venus d'horizons divers, représentants de disciplines "ethno-" variées : -linguistique, -littérature, -musicologie, folklore
Oral Speech Mechanism Screening Examination (OSMSE)
Author: Kenneth O. St. LouisPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
Although speech-language pathologists are expected to be able to administer and interpret oral examinations, there are currently no screening tests available that provide careful administration instructions and data for intra-examiner and inter-examiner reliability. The Oral Speech Mechanism Screening Examination (OSMSE) is designed primarily for use by clinical speech-language pathologists. The examination could also serve, however, as a useful tool for oral myofunctional therapists, as well as physical therapists, dentists, and orthodontists interested specifically in speech. It is reliable, relatively easy and quick to administer, and appropriate for children and adults in either diagnostic or therapy settings. The OSMSE is intended to assess those anatomical structures and physiological functions that are most often considered to be potentially related to speech or language disorders. Structural and/or functional judgments included are organized on the OSMSE test form under categories of: lips, tongue, jaw, teeth, hard palate, soft palate, pharynx, breathing, and diadochokinesis. Results of a preliminary study with normal speaking subjects indicated that the OSMSE had satisfactory intra- and inter-examiner reliability after minimal training. The time required to administer the examination typically ranged from 5 to 10 minutes. (Author/GK)
Input and Interaction in Language Acquisition
Author: Clare GallawayPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521437257
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Language addressed to children, or 'Baby Talk', became the subject of research interest thirty years ago. Since then, the linguistic environment of infants and toddlers has been widely studied. Input and Interaction in Language Acquisition is an up-to-date statement of the facts and controversies surrounding 'Baby Talk', its nature and likely effects. With contributions from leading linguists and psychologists, it explores language acquisition in different cultures and family contexts, in typical and atypical learners, and in second and foreign language learners. It is designed as a sequel to the now famous Talking to Children, edited by Catherine Snow and Charles Ferguson, and Professor Snow here provides an introduction, comparing issues of importance in the field today with the previous concerns of researchers.
