  • Impenetrable Eyes, Stealth and Surveillance: A Corpus Stylistic Study of Salient Adjectives in William Faulkner’s The Hamlet

    Open AccessWesley M Collins, William CollinsARTICLEStudies in Linguistics and…2021

    Stylistics combines both a granular and global approach to works of literature. Through analysis of linguistic and semantic patterns in a text, stylistics explores how authors construct a fictional text world and populate it with vividly realized characters. In this article, I adopt a corpus-stylistic approach to William Faulkner’s The Hamlet. Through identification of high-frequency words and close reading of their concordances, I explore what t…

  • Working Memory Load Selectively Influences Response Inhibition in a Stop Signal Task

    Open AccessL Boucher, Brandi Viparina et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2020

    Inhibitory control is a key executive function and has been studied extensively using the stop signal task. By applying a simple race model that posits an independent race between a GO process responsible for initiation of responses and a STOP process responsible for inhibition of responses, one can estimate how long it takes an individual to inhibit an ongoing response, the stop signal reaction time. Here, we examined how stop signal reaction ti…

  • The Center as Cultural and Grammatical Theme in Mam (Maya)

    Open AccessWesley M CollinsARTICLESpace and Culture2010References: 8

    This article explores the general relationship of language and culture via the notion of centeredness, which the author suggests is a recurring cultural value instantiated in how the Mam (Maya) conceive of the world, both practically and philosophically. This article specifically looks at the constructed world of the Mam (and, more generally, the Maya), their homes and towns, and the metaphysical idea of being centered in life and in relationship…

    Letters to Language David Crystal and Wesley M. Collins What do we do with an International Year of Languages?* March 14, 2008 To the Editor: The news that there was to be an International Year of Languages in 2008 was received with great acclaim around the linguistic world—once they heard about it!

    Wesley M CollinsARTICLEInternational Journal of American…2005Cited by: 6References: 28

    Since 1991, Fishman has carved out a new area of focus for research and linguistic activism—the Reversal of Language Shift (RLS)—within the general field of the Sociology of Language. In this article, I discuss a strategy of RLS employed by speakers of Mam (Maya), an endangered language of Guatemala. Less‐educated Mam routinely codeswitch to Spanish, which I present within Myers‐Scotton's Markedness Model of codeswitching (1993), while educated s…
