Salikoko S. MufweneMondes francophones (2023-2024)Collège de FranceAnnée 2023-2024Colloque - Konstanze Jungbluth : Emergence of "Kust-Portugees" (Coast Portuguese): Encounters along the Gold Coast and beyond in Early Modern TimesIntervenant(s)Konstanze JungbluthProfesseur, Europa-Universität Viadrina, Franfurt (Oder)RésuméHistory shows that creole vernaculars are just ordinary language varieties. Five hundred years ago, dialectal diversity was a well-known fact in Portugal itself. Whenever merchants moved to new places, they needed to create new trading routines including appropriate forms of communication jointly with the locals. Together with their African and, later on, their Asian interlocutors, Portuguese sailors and merchants going native on the continent developed new vernaculars identified as "Kust Portugees", which was also adopted by their European competitors. Dutch companies produced word lists of it that their crews could find handy. It became the lingua franca of that time on the African coast. European and African Portuguese varieties mirror the differences of their ecologies of their encounters and reflect both syncretism and hybridization.Konstanze JungbluthSince 2007: Professor of Linguistics (Pragmatics, Sociolinguistics, Romance Languages), Faculty of Social and Cultural Sciences, European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder).Publications:2022 Jungbluth, K./Milano, Frederica de: Address Systems and Social Markes IN: Maiden, M./ Ledgeway, A.

Tom Holtgraves studies how language helps us do things. We use words to inquire, to instruct, to command, and to persuade. Words are social. He's currently a Professor of Psychological Science at Ball State University (just down the hall from me!), and his lab studies how people use language and other symbols (e.g., emoji) to successfully or unsuccessfully communicate with one another. He edited the Oxford Handbook of Language and Social Psychology  and authored Language as Social Action: Social Psychology and Language Use. In our conversation, Tom introduces me to Speech Act Theory and what his own work tells us about how we can get our intentions across through language.Some things that come up in this episode:J. L. Austin's book "How to Do Things with Words"How we communicate uncertainty (Holtgraves, 2014; Holtgraves & Perdew, 2016)How emoji are used to convey indirect meaning (Holtgraves & Robinson, 2020)Politeness in conversational arguments (Holtgraves, 1997)For a transcript of this episode, visit: http://opinionsciencepodcast.com/episode/language-is-for-doing-with-thomas-holtgravesLearn more about Opinion Science at http://opinionsciencepodcast.com/ and follow @OpinionSciPod on Twitter.

Since the onset of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainians’ attitudes on language policy appear to be shifting, according to a recent survey of people residing in the country.

Alzheimer's disease is a syndrome that impacts a person's ability to think, problem-solve, and function every day. It can influence a person's memory, language, behavior, decision-making, visual and spatial skills, and ability to pay attention.   It happens slowly, over time, so often it may take family and friends – and even the person experiencing the disease – years to recognize these problems. In fact, dementia isn't usually diagnosed until these problems are to the point that they interfere with the person's ability to work, take care of their affairs, and manage their household.  Tune in to this episode of This Is Getting Old: Moving Towards an Age-Friendly World to learn about five symptoms of Alzheimer's. This information could help you or a loved one identify the early warning symptoms and get earlier treatment.  Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️ #1: Difficulty Understanding Spatial Relationships   If your loved one has difficulty understanding how to get from place to place, it could be a symptom of dementia. This can manifest in several ways, such as getting lost in familiar places, being unable to follow directions, or misjudging distances.  If you notice your loved one having difficulty figuring how things fit together, understanding maps, wandering, or getting lost, or changes in depth perception – trips, slips, falls, or a car accident, it could be an early symptom of a memory problem.   ✔️ #2: Aphasia—Difficulties with Language Use   Aphasia—not to be confused with dysphagia (trouble swallowing)—is difficulty with understanding or using words. It can make it hard to read, write, or say what you want to. Aphasia may also make it hard to follow or carry on a conversation.   If you notice your loved one having trouble following conversations, finding the right word, substituting made-up words; writing that is hard to understand; or slurred speech, it could be an early symptom of dementia.  ✔️ #3: Trouble Paying Attention   Staying focused becomes more difficult; repeating questions; losing or misplacing things; errors in managing finances. The person may lose their train of thought when talking to you or have trouble following a conversation.   ✔️ # 4: Difficulty Managing Time and Effort   Trouble with time management is another common symptom of dementia. This can manifest as forgetting what day it is, losing track of time, or inability to follow a schedule. In more severe cases, people with dementia may have difficulty planning and carrying out tasks that require multiple steps.  This can manifest as forgetting to take medications, having trouble cooking meals, having difficulty driving, taking longer to complete normal daily activities, and having trouble organizing themselves to get out of the house.  ✔️ # 5: Amnesia and Agnosia—Memory Loss and Trouble Recognizing Familiar Objects or People   One of the classic symptoms of dementia is memory loss. This can manifest as forgetting recent events, conversations, or appointments. In more severe cases, people with dementia may forget who their loved ones are.  Memory loss is often accompanied by agnosia, difficulty recognizing familiar objects or people. This can manifest as the inability to identify everyday household items, not knowing how to use ordinary things, or not recognizing close friends or family members.  Watch the NOSH: Nurses Optimizing Supportive Handfeeding video to learn more about how to manage mealtimes for persons with Alzheimer's disease. You can use the three different hand hand-feeding techniques with other activities of daily living.   Knowing that Alzheimer's Disease is Not A Normal Part of Aging Could Help You Live Longer.  Aging doesn't have to equate to decay and decline.   Alzheimer's disease is not a normal part of aging. You should know that as a young person because what you think about aging impacts how well you age and how long you live.    Learn all you can about what is NORMAL with aging, not what you may think is expected or believing the negative stereotypes accompanying aging in American culture. The negative stereotype of aging is called ageism, and it can decrease your life expectancy by almost 8 years. In fact, most older adults in the US are still vibrant and engaged in life. Strive to be that type of older adult – I know I am.  If you have questions, comments, or need help, please feel free to drop a one-minute audio or video clip and email it to me at melissabphd@gmail.com, and I will get back to you by recording an answer to your question.    About Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FGSA, FAAN:  I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing ('96) and Master of Science in Nursing ('00) as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) from the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) School of Nursing (SON). I genuinely enjoy working with the complex medical needs of older adults. I worked full-time for five years as FNP in geriatric primary care across many long-term care settings (skilled nursing homes, assisted living, home, and office visits), then transitioned into academic nursing in 2005, joining the faculty at UNCW SON as a lecturer. I obtained my PhD in Nursing and a post-master's Certificate in Nursing Education from the Medical University of South Carolina College of Nursing ('11). I then joined the faculty at Duke University School of Nursing as an Assistant Professor. My family moved to northern Virginia in 2015 which led to me joining the George Washington University (GW) School of Nursing faculty in 2018 as a (tenured) Associate Professor. I am also the Director of the GW Center for Aging, Health, and Humanities. Please find out more about her work at https://melissabphd.com/.

In this episode we are talking about 90%+ target language use in the classroom.  We start with where this comes from and why we want to do it, then I ask 4 questions about what is happening in your classroom.  These questions will help to focus on some of the challenge areas and I provide some ways to address them.Q1: Are prompts and tasks at the appropriate proficiency level?Q2. Do students have the language tools they need to communicate?Q3. Are students held accountable for using the target language?Q4. Are all the students actively engaged and interested?Links referenced in this episode:Blog post on the above Q&ABlog post on Target Language Use and Student AccountabilityEpisode #17 with Tracey Rucker (Co-Created Classrooms)Connect with Joshua and the World Language Classroom CommunityWork with Joshua either in person or remotely.Sign up for Talking Points, my weekly newsletter with tips, tools and resources for language teachers.wlclassrom.comTwitter:  @wlclassroomInstagram:  @wlclassroomFacebook:  /wlclassroomWLClassroom Facebook Group

He and his students are exploring natural language use, group dynamics, and personality in both laboratory and real-world settings. His earlier work on expressive writing found that physical health and work performance can improve by simple writing and/or talking exercises. His cross-disciplinary research is related to linguistics, clinical and cognitive psychology, communications, medicine, and computer science. Author or editor of 12 books and over 300 articles, Pennebaker has received numerous research and teaching awards and honors. In this episode, we talk about what we can learn about human psychology through written language. We first discuss the functions of language, and how it influences cognition. We get into written language, and the psychological benefits of writing, particularly expressive writing. We also talk about predicting relationship breakdowns through language use, personality traits, stories, and sex differences in language use. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, TOM ROTH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, AL ORTIZ, NELLEKE BAK, KATHRINE AND PATRICK TOBIN, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS P.

A few stolen minutes out of your day to talk words and communication, because our daily lives are surrounded by the evolution and influence of words. Forget the grammar police. There is so much more to this conversation. “Should You Trust Judas Priest on Language Use?” (encore episode) Welcome to the summer series of the Words […] The post Should You Trust Judas Priest on Language Use? (encore episode) appeared first on Kris Spisak.

An often overlooked facet of object-oriented design is how to leverage your language to speed development.  Every coding language has features and strengths to make your design or implementation better.  We should not design to a language initially.  However, we can tailor our implementation and detailed design to take advantage of these features. Leverage Your Language to Boost The Implementation Languages are implementation tools. Therefore, they come into play during that phase.  Nevertheless, you can leverage your language as you consider the details of the design.  Some approaches will either be simple or complex based on the language.  We can include the concept of interfaces or multiple-inheritance in a hierarchy.  That includes more granular steps like patterns built into the language.  We often see these in the form of iterators or factories. Keep Up With Changes While the initial design should leverage your language, enhancements and upgrades should incorporate the same.  Be aware of the changes to a language or environment over time.  That includes fixes, tweaks, and new versions.  A problem that may have been overly complex to solve in the past could be a "freebie" solution now that it is handled in a single line of code. Languages evolve and often do so with a focus on eliminating weaknesses.  That is due to developers suggesting features based on their pain points.  We often see a language that is limited in use during early versions become more general-purpose over time.  The developer is the customer, so the software team or company will cater to the developers.  The things that are difficult to use early on will be simplified or greater support provided. Under The Covers The changes to be aware of include those that are "under the covers."  These types of changes are much more implementation-impacting.  However, version upgrades have been known to make vast improvements in persistence, multi-threading, and thread-safety.

In this conversation, producer and host, Dr. Santo D. Marabella, The Practical Prof®, speaksnwith respected mental health advocate and editor, Harold A. Maio, about the important role language can play in stigmatizing mental health and the simple, but powerful ways we can stop doing that!According to TapIntoIt.net, Harold A Maio is a long time mental health advocate whose main focus is language, the words we employ, the effect those words have. His advocacy has carried him to many states, the White House and invitations to speak in Berlin, London, and Ottawa. His work can be followed on the net.For more information or to suggest an episode topics, email: OfficeHours@ThePracticalProf.com© 2020 Marabella Enterprises, LLC.

Alright, y'all, we've got a new episode up with @janelledinosaurs AKA @cirque_psych (LSW). In this episode, we covered how the language we use can impact our physiological response in training, the benefits and detriments of perfectionism as it applies to training, and how to regulate our nervous system to support our goals (and just generally had a great time!). Janelle is a contortionist, aerialist, circus coach, and therapist (LSW). She started @cirque_psych in 2018 in response to seeing a need in the circus community for more transparency and vulnerability around mental health and mental illness. Janelle's work supports circus folks in improving their relationships with themselves, and uses circus analogies to explore topics in mental health, wellbeing, and social change.

I have gone through all the levels and sustained the necessary exams. Nonetheless, I still make too many mistakes as to get a serious employment in my profession.” It is easy to start a foreign language. It takes only practice and living abroad to get fluent. To learn the last (!) 5% and to speak without mistakes, however, you will need completely different approach. The GO Method helps you get rid of your chronic grammar and pronunciation mistakes by applying psychology and principles of quality management. We offer corrective courses for some languages, as well a general system for improving your use of any language. We support companies in improving the language proficiency of key employees.
