▼ In my thesis I would like to set the fundamental differences and their possible reasons in the focus of attention. I would like to find an answer for the question: what are the main divergences between women and men
talk? In the first chapter I intend to investigate the possible causes of the differences and later in the subsequent part of my thesis I will elaborate on the potential malfunctions that may occur in a conversation and which could be caused by theses differences. I will introduce the issue of politeness and slang language use as well and try to investigate these topics in the frame of the chief differences.

▼ Speech production is a highly creative process, yet there are a number of subtle factors which influence how we speak in context. This study combines previous work on use of optional ‘that’ in sentence-complement structures with research into accommodation theory and Foreigner
Talk by looking at differences in use of ‘that’ in the context of interlocutor nativity. Sentence-complement structures, such as “I believe you...”, can be ambiguous, often results in misinterpretation on the part of the listener (Garden-Pathing) which can be avoided by use of option ‘that’. This study uses a mixed design to look at the effects of main and embedded
subject on use of ‘that’ in conversation with native versus nonnative English speakers, in an effort to support previous evidence of the effects of social factors on ‘that’ production (Ferreira & Hudson, 2010). Unfortunately, no previous model for use of optional ‘that’ was supported by the findings that ‘that’ is used more frequently with an embedded
subject of ‘you’. However, ‘that’ was shown to be used more frequently in discourse with nonnative speakers, showing that native speakers are sensitive to nonnative speakers’ potentially greater need for disambiguation.

▼ Fat
talk describes self-disparaging remarks made about ones weight or shape. Despite the fact that fat
talk has been associated with a number of negative outcomes including eating pathology, fat
talk has become a social norm and many women engage in it on a regular basis. The factors that lead these women to engage in fat
talk are currently unknown. As such, in a series of three studies, I sought to investigate what factors lead to fat
talk. This research builds on displacement theory, which holds that experiencing negative affect will lead to increased fat
talk. For Study 1, food-related guilt was investigated as a possible factor that leads to fat
talk. It was found that undergraduate women were more likely to anticipate initiating a fat
talk conversation after undergoing an induction in which they think about eating fattening food (i.e., food-related guilt), and this effect was unique to fat
talk rather than other self-disparaging
talk. Study 2 replicated and extended the findings of Study 1 by adding an academic-related guilt condition as well as exploring differences between restrained and unrestrained eaters. The findings for food-related guilt replicated and did not emerge for participants in the academic-related guilt condition. In addition, restrained eaters reported an increased likelihood of engaging in self-disparaging
talk in general (i.e., they endorsed increased likelihood of initiating both fat
talk and unproductive
talk conversations) across experimental conditions. In Study 3 I added a sadness condition and explored interpersonal traits as possible predictors of fat
talk likelihood. Experiencing decreased body image once again led to increases in anticipated fat
talk but experiencing increased sadness did not. Restrained eaters also reported increased fat
talk likelihood across experimental conditions. In conclusion, contrary to displacement theory, the present findings suggest that decreased body image specifically, as opposed to any type of negative affect, leads to increased anticipated likelihood of fat
talk. Moreover, perhaps due to their tendency to feel more negatively about their bodies, restrained eaters are more likely to anticipate initiating fat
talk across situations. Clinical implications and directions for future research are discussed.

▼ Fat
talk refers to self-disparaging remarks made about one’s weight or shape and has been associated with a number of negative outcomes. Two experimental studies investigated the ability of different conversational responses to negate the negative impact of fat
talk. Dietary restraint was also examined as a possible moderating factor of the effects of different conversational responses to fat
talk. In Study 1 participants were exposed to a vignette containing either norm focused rebuttal or appearance-based reassurance in response to fat
talk, and I assessed changes to food consumption, mood, and body esteem. In Study 2, participants were exposed to a vignette containing norm focused rebuttal, appearance-based reassurance, or distraction in response to fat
talk, and I assessed changes to mood and body esteem. Overall, results were mixed regarding which response to fat
talk resulted in the best outcomes. Moreover, restrained and unrestrained eaters responded similarly to the different vignettes.

▼ This dissertation analyzes the communicative and economic strategies market women employ in Ghana’s Kumasi Central Market (KCM) amid current and ongoing economic hardship. By examining the role of
talk in market women’s daily transactions as they interface with local and global markets, this dissertation illuminates how traders in KCM utilize their vast repertoire of linguistic strategies to create and negotiate value, build relationships, and mitigate economic precarity. To circumvent these challenges, market women, who dominate the composition of traders in KCM, emphasize the importance of
talk in the business of trade. Through
talk in face to face interactions, traders (adwadifoɔ) evaluate and market commodities, negotiate relationships, and calculate potential gains. They wield verbal skill to bargain (di ano), advertise (pae) their wares, call out to (frɛ(frɛ)) and persuade (nnɛɛdɛɛ/de kasadɛ) potential buyers to purchase their goods to eke out meager profits (mfasoɔ). My research elucidates the extent that
talk as a pragmatic, verbal performance in face-toface interactions underpins market transactions. I base my analysis and findings on 15 months gathering ethnographic and linguistic data between 2014 and 2017 in KCM and at a small neighborhood shop. Traders indicated that they use kasadɛ (‘sweet talk’/‘persuasive talk’) to woo potential buyers and krɔkrɔ (‘pamper’) recurring customers to mitigate risk and safeguard against persistent economic precarity. However, because precarity characterizes the nature of buying and selling, I argue that sweet (or persuasive)
talk (kasadɛ), rough
talk (kasa basabasa), and pampering (akrɔkrɔ) both temper and create new forms of risk. Therefore, much of traders’ communicative and business savviness involves assessing and minimizing risk at the interactional level through moment-to-moment decision making, requiring vigilance (anidahɔ/ahosohwɔ) and cleverness (aniteɛ/nyansakwan). This dissertation prioritizes the role of
talk in market women’s everyday transactional exchanges. While we have an increased understanding of global impact of women’s labor in the “informal” sector, this dissertation illuminates how, through
talk, traders insert themselves in the global economy as active producers of value and circulators of local and global goods.

▼ This study examines the quality of language interactions in three early years classrooms during narrative retelling. Research continually demonstrates the positive impact of rich language dialogue on student learning outcomes, particularly in the early years of schooling. From Vygotskian psychological perspectives, talk is an essential medium of learning and cultural development. This view understands that knowledge is socially constructed, and talk is the essential means to facilitate this process. Although classroom discussions are an important context for improving oral language competency and academic development alike, research indicates that talk is often overlooked as a critical area of focus in education.
A multi-case study design was selected to illuminate effective talk practices of teachers. Teacher perspectives of their own practices were at the forefront of this research design, and as such, an interpretivist-constructivist methodological frame was utilised. Nine lesson observations, interviews and reflective journal entries were collected for analysis. A talk analysis frame was developed from existing literature on quality classroom talk and applied to classroom discourse to support the examination of effective talk patterns. Purposeful sampling was employed to attract teachers who had participated in ongoing professional learning seminars with the student researcher across a three-year period. Two forms of professional learning were provided. First, an intensive professional learning two-day seminar on explicit oral language strategies, followed by sustained onsite collaborative planning and professional feedback sessions to support embedding the strategies in teachers’ practice.
Analysis of the data identified the presence of quality collaborative dialogue in the three early years classrooms. There was a collection of factors that supported teachers in engaging students in rich dialogue. The findings of this research have implications for teacher professional learning to enhance talk practices in classrooms. The study findings suggest the need for a multifaceted approach for engaging students in academically conducive classroom talk and the inclusion of ongoing professional learning to build professional knowledge and practice of effective linguistic practices in classrooms.

▼ The purpose of the study was to expose the ways in which late-night talk shows utilize social media. The study included content analyses of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson’s broadcasts and social media accounts (Facebook and Twitter). Mentions of Facebook and Twitter were accounted for during the broadcasts, and the content and type of Facebook post and tweet for their accounts were coded. Both shows’ broadcasts referenced social media, but did not verbally discuss their own social media accounts. The content of the social media updates referred mostly to past episodes, and the types of updates consisted of website links and the combination of website links and embedded content.

▼ ABSTRACT Wnt signalling is of great biological
importance as it has been implicated in development and cancer. The
Wnt canonical pathway (WCP) is the best characterized signalling
pathway. Based on my preliminary studies in my first and second
years I found that the WCP is not linear and that it is interacting
with many other signalling proteins. Thus, I hypothesized that WCP
is cross talking with oncogenic networks in lymphoid and solid
tumors. Through my work in this thesis I examined different models
of cross talk between WCP and other signalling pathways implicated
in cancer pathogenesis. The first objective of this thesis examined
the biological and clinical significance of the WCP member pGSK-3β,
which also acts as a key member in the PI3K/Akt pathway. pGSK-3β
was shown to be expressed in two cancer models; breast cancer and
mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). In MCL, pGSK-3β expression was shown to
correlate to WCP activation, however, in breast cancer it
correlated to PI3K/Akt activation. Importantly, pGSK-3β expression
correlated with a worse clinical outcome in breast cancer and MCL
patients. The second objective of this thesis examined the
regulation of β-catenin (WCP member) by signal transducer and
activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in breast cancer. STAT3 was
shown to regulate β-catenin at the transcriptional level, as STAT3
binds to the promoter of β-catenin. Moreover, STAT3 was shown to
correlate with nuclear β-catenin expression in patient samples. The
third objective of this thesis was to study the regulatory role of
β-catenin on a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 10 (ADAM10) in
mantle cell lymphoma. However, ADAM10 was shown to regulate the
TNFα/NFκB signalling pathway. The fourth objective of this thesis
examined the cross talk between the WCP and NPM-ALK the major
oncogenic protein in ALK+ALCL. In ALK+ALCL, cross talk between WCP
and NPM-ALK through casein kinase 2α was identified. Overall, the
identification of the cross talk between WCP and various signalling
pathways in different cancer models furthers our current
understanding of the importance of the WCP and about the complexity
of signalling networks in cancer. These findings provide a
framework for the development of novel anti-cancer targeting
strategies.

▼ M.A.
This dissertation comprises an exploratory study of the role and functions of communication during growth and transcendence cycles of the unique individual. It moreover explores how the quintessence of the individual, the self, manages and transforms itself, through the use of communication. The exploration focuses on the subjective, inner reality of humanity. The inner, subjective reality of humanity relates to different states and levels of consciousness and corresponding levels of self-awareness. Since an exploration of the nature of the self and its possible confluence with states and levels of consciousness necessitates a multidisciplinary approach, theories and constructs in Psychology, the New Physics (Quantum Physics), Mysticism, and Philosophy are explored and integrated with contemporary, communication notions of the self and consciousness. Integration and inclusiveness consequently form the bedrock of this study. The intrapersonal and transpersonal levels of communication are considered as the derivatives of a subjective, inner reality. The exploration and comprehension of an inner reality are considered to be of prime significance to the management, development, transformation and transcendence of the self: the individual as a unique multifarious being. A pilot study of selfawareness through self-reports indicates that a transcendental spirituality, and consequently an inner, subjective transcendental reality is imminent in every individual. An intrinsic need for equanimity and unity is hence considered as the birthright of every individual and not the exclusive legacy of sages and mystics. The assertion that humanity shares an innate spiritual nature allows the integration of the constructs of the self and levels and states of consciousness, ensuing from the exploration in this study, in a more representative and inclusive model and theory of the self in communication. The relationship between the self, consciousness, and intrapersonal and transpersonal communication is depicted and described in terms of an experiential multidimensional model of intrapsychic communication. This helps to address the exclusion of humanity's archetypal spiritual need to actualise its ultimate and essential being that is not represented hi contemporary communication theory. It is proposed that the term intrapsychic communication be used to represent the total spectrum of communication within the Self. The upper case 'S' in 'Self represents humanity's essential being. This facilitates the incorporation of the spiritual component of the Self into the current dualistic and mechanistic representation of the self in communication theory. The worth of intrapsychic communication, which comprises prepersonal, intrapersonal, transcendental and transpersonal communication, lies in its facilitation of awareness, comprehension, integration and transcendence of an imprisoned and deprived ego-self. Intrapsychic communication consequently represents all the levels of communication within the Self with its corresponding levels of…

▼ This is a collection of thirty-one poems completed at the University of Florida. The poems represent my attempt to capture contemporary idiom and concerns in, sometimes, confessional verse. The title of this work, Mill
Talk, and its post-industrial motifs are inspired by the vernacular my father brought home with him from the various steel mills and industrial sites he worked at as a union pipefitter in Florida, Illinois, and Indiana—I imagine the title having broader application for the worlds the work in this thesis inhabit.

▼ The aim of this study is to identify student attitudes to classroom talk interactions, specifically class discussion, to ascertain whether students view these contexts as opportunities for learning. The study also sought to isolate the ways students recognise talk as helping them to learn. Further, it is aimed to inform the pedagogical practice of teachers to assist them to co-construct, with students, class discussions that are more productive.
Data was collected for the study from two cohorts of Year 8 girls over consecutive years, interview data from students and also interviews with four Year 8 learning area teachers. In the embedded sequential mixed-method design employed in this research, each data set gave rise to the next which sought to explicate and expand the themes emerging from the previous data set.
Relationships of significance were found between enjoyment, learning, participation, teacher style (questioning and timing) and classroom culture and a conceptual model was developed which attempted to diagrammatically represent those relationships. The results also indicate the essential role of responsibility as key to class discussion.
Responsibility for the success of a class discussion, one in which learning takes place, was found to be shared jointly by students and teachers. The findings for the study recommend a whole school approach to articulating and consistently and consciously applying mechanisms identified to generate more effective class discussions.

The big effects of small talk in the workplace.

▼ Small talk – superficial, non-task related communication – comprises up to one-third of adults' conversation, and is a key component of employees' experience in the workplace. Despite its ubiquity, little is known about small talk at work, and scattered research across disciplines suggests it may have either positive or negative outcomes. To examine workplace small talk, I draw on Interaction Ritual Theory to conduct four complementary studies. In Study 1 (n=367), I develop and validate a multidimensional scale to measure workplace small talk (with dimensions varying in the extent to which they are scripted) in samples of undergraduate students, employees of a social services organization, and employees recruited through the Amazon Mechanical Turk platform (MTurk). In Study 2, I analyze open-ended responses from employed adults recruited through MTurk (n=244) to identify motives for why employees engage in small talk. In Study 3, I use latent profile analysis (LPA) to analyze data from employees recruited through MTurk (n=580) to investigate whether various motives for small talk are associated with different small talk profiles, and whether small talk profiles impact employees' ego depletion and interpersonal citizenship behaviors (ICB). In Study 4, I examine whether small talk profiles influence supervisor-rated ICB and task performance in a sample of employees from various small business (n=70). Studies 3 and 4 both demonstrate a positive association between small talk and ICB, suggesting that employees who engage in small talk are more likely to perform extra-role helping behaviors. Study 3 also finds that employees with a high proportion of less scripted small talk are more depleted. Taken together, the results of these studies suggest small talk is a multidimensional phenomenon that can have both positive and negative effects in the workplace.

▼ This thesis is the outcome of a PhD CASE Studentship funded by the ESRC and British Telecom. It presents an exploration into the teaching of collaborative talk. The study was conducted in three phases: exploratory, development and implementation. During the exploratory phase, observations and interviews were conducted in authentic workplace settings to gain an understanding of workplace collaboration and collaborative talk. During the development phase, a teaching unit for the teaching of collaborative talk at GCSE was devised, informed by understandings gleaned during the preceding phase. During the implementation phase, the teaching unit was taught by two teachers in their secondary English classrooms. Both participating classes were arranged into groups of 4: 8 groups in School 1 and 7 in School 2. For the duration of the 3 week teaching unit, groups were recorded via camera and audio recorder, and the data later synchronised. Both teachers wore an audio recorder to capture interactions with groups and the whole class. To complement the core data set, students were interviewed for their views on their learning. Student booklets provided a means of collecting both group and individual reflections and evaluative comments. The data was analysed to explore the development of students’ collaborative talk. The role of the teacher in implementing the teaching unit and supporting students’ development was also examined. The findings provide an insight into the realities of implementing successful collaborative talk in the ‘real’ secondary classroom. It contributes to conceptualisations of collaborative talk and its development. It makes links between the role of emotional engagement and dialogic interactions in supporting that development. It proposes teaching strategies which challenge perceived notions of ‘good’ talk and encourages the development of meta-language to support self-evaluation and the development of collaborative talk.

Process of health behaviour change: Is Change Talk associated with diabetes outcome? A pilot study of Motivational Interviewing.

▼ Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a person-centred and collaborative form of guiding individuals to elicit and strengthen their motivation for change. It has achieved success in the treatment of substance disorders, and has shown promise in several other areas of interest, such as behaviour management in chronic illness. The process through which MI exerts its influence on outcome however, is still in its infancy.
This research set out to explore the nature of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes patients‟ utterances in Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) sessions (Change Talk), and the associations between their Change Talk and diabetes outcome (clinically significant change in blood glucose levels). Data for this study was taken from a multiple baseline designed study in a diabetes clinic in Christchurch (Britt, 2008). Nine patients who were referred to the clinic for help with their diabetes self-management were administered MET by Diabetes Nurse Educators (DNEs) which comprised four sessions over a six week period. In the current study participants were divided into those who did (BG Change participants; n = 4) or those who did not (BG No Change participants; n = 5) achieve a clinically significant change in their blood glucose levels (HbA1c) post intervention. All client utterances from the 36 transcripts were coded with the Motivational Interviewing Skills Code, version 2.0 (MISC, 2.0), and data analysed accordingly.
This is a unique study in that it investigated both the mean frequency and strength of Change Talk in the different participant sets, as well as their patterns of Change Talk within and across sessions. Trends and directions in data suggest support for parts of the theory of the inner workings of MI. In particular, the BG Change participants uttered stronger Desire Language, a higher frequency of Commitment language, and weaker Ability language than
the BG No Change participants. In addition, a general increasing pattern of strength across and within sessions, and frequency across sessions was found for the BG Change participants, while a similar pattern was found for the BG No Change participants regarding strength, but not frequency. The role of Sustain Talk strength and its relationship to the findings is highlighted. Implications of findings, as well as limitations of the current research and suggestions for future areas of research are discussed.

▼ The examination of self-talk technique is ongoing and systematic during the last decade in sports and physical education area. The examination of novel and improved techniques applied to primary school students. Three sequential experiments were carried out during the research. The first one indicates the more significant effectiveness of instructional self-talk technique application in soccer skills improvement than the other two methods (motivational self-talk and control group). The second one applied to a similar to the above sport skill in handball. The above two results showed that the groups that used the motivational and instructional self-talk technique achieved significantly better performance in contrary to control group’s one. Also, the results derived by the instructional self-talk method application in athletic exercises executed by the less skilled hand were better than motivational self-talk ones. The same above results indicate that instructional self-talk technique applied to the first steps of physical education lessons is more beneficial than the other techniques usage. The group that took part to the third experiment achieved better performance by using the instructional self-talk technique during five sequential soccer lessons (shot by the skilled foot) than the control group’s one. The procedure that used to the last above experiment can be also called as “interventional procedure”. Verification issues through cross-correlations between psychological variables occurred during the execution of the above experiments during the third experiment. The derived general result of all the above experiments is that the self-talk seems to be important in primary student’s performance. The instructional self-talk technique is more effective than the motivational.
Η αποτελεσματικότητα της αυτο-ομιλίας εξετάζεται συστηματικά μόλις την τελευταία δεκαετία στο χώρο της ψυχολογίας της άσκησης, του αθλητισμού και της φυσικής αγωγής. Σκοπός της παρούσας μελέτης είναι να διερευνήσει νέα όρια στις σχετικές έρευνες εξετάζοντας την αποτελεσματικότητα της αυτο-ομιλίας σε δεξιότητες πρωτότυπες στο μάθημα της φυσικής αγωγής. Εκτελέσθηκαν τρία διαδοχικά πειράματα. Το πρώτο πείραμα έδειξε ότι η απόδοση σε μια πρωτότυπη κινητική δεξιότητα σχετική με το ποδόσφαιρο βελτιώθηκε καλύτερα με την αυτο-ομιλία τεχνικής υπόδειξης σε σχέση με την αυτο-ομιλία παρακίνησης και την ομάδα ελέγχου. Το δεύτερο πείραμα εφαρμόσθηκε σε μια παρόμοια δεξιότητα, στο χάντμπωλ. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι στις δύο δοκιμασίες οι ομάδες αυτο-ομιλίας τεχνικής υπόδειξης και παρακίνησης βελτίωσαν τις επιδόσεις τους σημαντικά σε σχέση με την ομάδα ελέγχου. Για το αριστερό χέρι η αυτο-ομιλία τεχνικής υπόδειξης είχε καλύτερο αποτέλεσμα σε σχέση με την αυτο-ομιλία παρακίνησης. Από τα αποτελέσματα αυτά φαίνεται ότι η αυτο-ομιλία τεχνικής υπόδειξης ίσως είναι πιο ωφέλιμη στα αρχικά στάδια της μάθησης. Στο τρίτο πείραμα εφαρμόσθηκε μια παρεμβατική διαδικασία σε 5 συνεχόμενα μαθήματα σε μια άσκηση ποδοσφαίρου με το καλό πόδι μέσω της αυτο-ομιλίας τεχνικής…

▼ Syftet med vårt examensarbete är att få en djupare förståelse för hur concept cartoons påverkar elevers gruppdiskussioner och bidrar till deras lärande i NO-undervisningen. Eftersom vår utbildning inriktar sig mot elever i årskurs F-3, har vi valt att återspegla detta i vår studie. Det teoretiska perspektiv som legat till grund för studien är det sociokulturella lärandeperspektivet, där Mercers (1996) tre språkliga kategorier disputational talk, cumulative talk och exploratory talk har använts för att få djupare förståelse för hur elevernas olika sätt att diskutera påverkar deras lärande. Concept cartoons är ett område som är relativt outforskat och studier som inriktar sig mot vår åldersgrupp finns endast i begränsad omfattning. Utöver detta ligger studiens relevans i att concept cartoons är ett koncept som skapats utifrån ett konstruktivistiskt perspektiv och det sociokulturella perspektivet som ska genomsyra vår framtida yrkesverksamhet har till följd lyst med sin frånvaro i tidigare forskning som inriktat sig mot de lägre åren.
Genom observation av två klasser i årskurs 3 samlades materialet in och analyserades. Resultatet visade att endast ett fåtal av de deltagande eleverna hade drag av disputational talk och exploratory talk i diskussionerna. Majoriteten av eleverna bekräftade och byggde okritiskt vidare på det som sagts och elevernas sätt att diskutera dominerades därför av cumulative talk. Concept cartoons stödjer elever i att föra en diskussion, men har även sina begränsningar. Vi ser att concept cartoons kan användas i undervisningen men som lärare bör man vara medveten om hur det används av eleverna, för att därigenom förstå vilken typ av lärande som sker.

▼ An Inconvenient Truth was a catalyst for change in the way many adults think about the
environment. North American youth are perpetuating the dominant consumerist
paradigm, and will need to change their attitudes and behaviour to restore the health of
the planet in the future. This study identifies the content and messaging that youth see as
effective to engage their peers in pro-environmental attitudes and actions. Middle school
participants created environmental videos following a Participatory Video methodology.
A content analysis of the videos revealed that youth are optimistic and advocate
grassroots community action to “save the world.” The dominant messaging in the videos
is “peer
talk,” characterized by youth language and diction, youth speaking directly to the
youth audience, youth talking to youth on screen, and content that is relevant to youth.
These findings are recommended in a grounded theory of effective environmental
education for youth through video.

▼ Self-talk is a psychological and cognitive product of humans that correlates with stress-related variables, such as anxiety and depression. The immediate effects of positive self-talk on stress (in terms of cortisol reactivity) and speech performance have yet to be investigated. Thus, the author examined the immediate effects of positive self-talk on stress and speech performance. The roles of dispositional and speech-related inner self-talk were also investigated. One hundred and forty participants were assigned to Control, Stress Alone, Positive Self-Talk, or Distraction conditions. A standardized stress-inducing task was used for the experimental groups. Participants in the Positive Self-Talk condition rehearsed a positive self-statement during the experiment, and a distraction task was completed by those in the Distraction condition. Saliva samples were collected for cortisol analysis, and questionnaires were administered to assess participant perceived stress levels and inner self-talk. Immediate effects of positive self-talk on cortisol reactivity, perceived stress, and speech performance were absent. Nevertheless, speech-related positive inner self-talk was inversely correlated with the perceived stress level. Furthermore, negative inner self-talk was also related to cortisol reactivity, perceived stress, and speech performance.

▼ Background: Exercise cognitions and beliefs are key
associates of exercise behaviour. Self-talk is an intrapersonal
communication system that may be a useful technique for studying
exercise-related beliefs in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) patients.
The purpose of this research was to determine the relationships for
self-talk, social-cognition, and clinical indicators in PR. Method:
The following measures were assessed in 78 PR patients during the
first two weeks of PR: the 6-minute walk test, St. George’s
Respiratory Questionnaire, Exercise Self-talk Questionnaire,
Self-talk Function Scale, and Social-Cognitive Questionnaire.
Results: Moderate correlations were found for self-talk, cognition,
and clinical indicator relationships that varied by gender.
Self-efficacy, perceived severity, perceived difficulty, and
personal physical evaluation self-talk had the strongest
relationships to cognitions, and clinical indicators. Conclusions:
Self-talk is related to social-cognitive constructs, health status,
lung function, and functional exercise capacity in PR patients.
Gender differences may be due to functional ability differences or
gendered socialization experiences.

▼ Self-talk interventions in sport have been receiving increased research attention in recent years. The findings have provided robust support that self-talk strategies enhance sport performance. Identifying the mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of self-talk strategies is now among the top priorities for a comprehensive understanding of the self-talk phenomenon. Overall, the purpose of the present research was to forward the literature through the investigation of potential mechanisms that explain the facilitating effects of self-talk on performance. Towards this direction three studies were conducted. The first study is a systematic review that aims at providing an overview of the existing literature and guidance for further research developments on the self-talk mechanisms. Additionally, a prospective model of self-talk mechanisms in sport is introduced. The second study focuses on attentional mechanisms and aimed at examining the effects of self-talk strategies on different attention functions, namely, alertness, vigilance, focused, selective, divided, and spatial attention. To accomplish this purpose six separate experiments testing the effects of self-talk interventions on attention functions were conducted, using the Vienna Test System an instrument assessing neuropsychological functioning. The results showed that in all experiments the experimental groups displayed superior attentional performance compared to the control groups; a meta-analytic synthesis of the results showed a large effect size. Finally, the third study explored the effectiveness of self-talk strategies on task performance under conditions of external distraction. Two experiments in different setting were conducted: a lab experiment, where particpants were tested on a computer game following a short training period, and a field experiment, where basketball players were tested on free throw shooting, following a six-week intervention. The results showed that in both experiments participants using self-talk performed better than control participants, thus suggesting that self-talk can help countering the detrimental effects of external distractions on performance. Overall, the present investigation provides a working framework for the study of self-talk mechanisms and valuable empirical evidence regarding the attentional effects of self-talk as a key factor explaining the effectiveness of self-talk interventions. The present evidence provides exciting prospect for future research on self-talk mechanisms and the understanding of the self-talk phenomenon in general.

▼ newlineTumor cells are seen to modulate the
phenotype of all major immune cells to newlineexpress tumor
favouring phenotypes. Inflammation associated with tumors, a result
of newlinesuch interaction, is increasingly being believed to play
a major role in tumor initiation, newlineprogression and even
metastasis. This modulation is achieved very early when
newlineMonocytes, precursors of Macrophages and DCs, from the
circulating pool are recruited newlinetowards tumors and
selectively differentiated. Monocytes, in particular, are thought
to newlinegenerate a cytokine milieu in the microenvironment
favourable to tumor. Such a newlinecrosstalk and the pathways
involved therein are not well established, especially in human
newlinemodels. Using representative human carcinoma cells of
different origin including Lung, newlineColon and Cervix, we show
that factor(s) associated with these cells can activate
newlinesecretion of tumor-associated cytokines, TNF-and#945;, IL-6,
IL-10, IL-12p40 but not IL-12p70 newlineor IL-1and#946; from human
monocytes. Comparative murine co-cultures are also able to induce
newlinesimilar responses. Treatment of monocytes with TLR-2
blocking antibody inhibits these newlineinflammatory responses upon
encountering cell-associated as well as secretory ligand(s)
newlinefrom tumor cells. Pharmacological inhibition of
intracellular MAP kinase pathway in newlinecarcinoma cells ablates
the TLR-2 agonistic activity of carcinoma cells. However,
newlineinhibition of EGFR and Ras, two major oncogenic players, had
no such effect. Early newlineinflammatory response tends to enhance
the proliferation and invasiveness of tumor cells newlineand
concurrently, increase the viability of monocytes. These tumor
associated newlineinflammatory responses may well be one of the
mechanisms to manipulate effector T-cell newlineresponse against
tumors. These results suggest a previously unrecognized pathway
that newlinemay regulate inflammatory responses triggered by cancer
cells from monocytes. Our newlinefindings have important
implications for understanding Cancer related
Inflammation.

▼ Speaking and listening are the two main functions
in classrooms and the children should be able to hear and
understand what the teacher is speaking to them. This study is the
evaluation of classrooms for young children in India, to assess
their acoustical environments for better learning. The schools
under consideration are located in an educationally advanced
locality in India - a district in the southern part of India,
namely Kanyakumari. Situated in a warm humid climate, the
classrooms have open windows and doors with the possibility of
noise intrusion from outside. In this study, depending on the
location of the schools and their external surroundings, the
schools are classified into three categories: schools located near
roads with heavy traffic (Noisy-sites), schools located within
Housing sites, schools located in zones far from public roads and
away from residences. A total of 120 classrooms in 25 schools in
the three categories are studied. Comparison with the national and
international standards of background noise and reverberation time
was made to assess the acoustic condition in the classrooms. Using
available software ClassTalk, the speech intelligibility parameters
like, Speech intelligibility, Signal to Noise level difference and
Speech Transmission Index in the classrooms was evaluated to assess
the acoustical quality of the classrooms. Some of the conclusions
from this study are detailed below. It was found that 90 % of
classrooms at Quiet sites were in the acceptable range of speech
intelligibility and at Housing sites 68 % of the classrooms were
acceptable. However, at Noisy sites which are located near highways
on public roads, the BN in classrooms in the occupied condition
reached about 61.1 dB A and hence only about 28 % of classrooms
were acceptable. Some cost effective means to reduce the BN and RT
in classrooms were tried and the values were measured and it is
established that the speech intelligibility can be improved, by
providing floor mat and wall curtain.

▼ This dissertation examines reputation, the belief of the decision maker about
types of advisors, in incomplete information games with multiple advisors. The decision
maker believes that an advisor can be one of two types â an advisor who is
biased towards suggesting any particular advice (bad advisor) or an advisor who has
the same preferences as the decision maker (good advisor). I explain why it is not
always beneficial for the decision maker to seek advice from two advisors simultaneously
compared to seeking advice from a single advisor. It is shown that a strong
concern for oneâÂÂs reputation not to be perceived as a bad advisor can make the good
advisor sometimes give wrong advice. Also, if each type of advisor considers his
future important, the decision maker is better off having a single advisor. Then I
show that, when dealing with two advisors, it is better for the decision maker to
seek advice simultaneously since the possibility of obtaining information is lower in
sequential cheap
talk. I also examine how an individualâÂÂs perception of what he
thinks of himself (self-reputation) and what others think of him regarding his ability
to resist temptation (perception of reputation) affect his actions. It is shown that
higher self-reputation and higher perception of reputation help in making resolutions
and keeping up with them both in the short and the long run. However, this result
requires that individuals find it relatively easy to resist temptation. Also, even those
who find it hard to resist temptation can sustain their resolution after telling friends
about the resolution in the short run if they value the future more than the present.

▼ Classroom English is a key aspect of EFL lessons. Setting aside the wide range of listening materials available, the EFL teacher is in many instances the only model of English which students are exposed to throughout their time at secondary school. According to research, ‘teacher talking time’ takes up an impressive 70% of classroom time in general (Meunier 2012). Moreover, the number of non-native speakers teaching in EFL contexts has risen dramatically for the last twenty years, with estimates ranging from 80% (Timmis, 2002) to even 95% (Bolitho, 2008). However, the advent of the communicative approach in foreign language teaching and the accompanying switch of focus from the teacher to the learner (Andrews 2007) raised the issue of the amount of teacher
talk that should be spoken in the classroom, arguing that good teacher
talk often meant minimum teacher
talk (Cullen 1998). The teacher’s role also came to be seen as one of facilitator rather than one of transmitter. Not surprisingly then, the attention given to teacher
talk as a factor conducive to foreign language acquisition has been a much neglected area in the recent ELT literature. There are, for example, but a few corpora of teacher
talk in existence. Two notable exceptions are corpora set up by Walsh (2006) and Horst (2010). But while the former is a corpus of native-English teachers, the latter focuses on the teacher
talk addressed to adult learners in a second language context. By making clear that teacher
talk is interaction as much as input (Lynch, 1996) this thesis brings the EFL teacher’s classroom speech to the fore. Through the exploration of the CONNEcT corpus (Corpus of Native and Non-native Classroom Teacher
Talk), I set out to highlight the linguistic features of native-speaker teachers in comparison with those of French-speaking EFL teachers’ speech (in particular, those teaching in the French-speaking Community of Belgium). Two common teaching functions are investigated: ‘explaining language’ and ‘instruction-giving’. While the analysis of these functions is broken down into the traditional areas of lexis and grammar, specific attention is given to the language used beyond the sentence structure level. The prosody of the teacher’s classroom speech as conveyor of attitude and information is also examined. The study is corpus-led, which provides a description of teacher
talk as it actually spoken in the EFL classroom. The methodology used is at times corpus-based, allowing us to validate pre-existing hypotheses, and at times corpus-driven, where the observation of certain patterns lead to a hypothesis (Tognini-Bonelli 2001). A few major lines of thought emerge from the study. Firstly, teacher
talk occupies mid-position between informal and formal speech. Secondly, non-native teacher
talk is more directive than native
talk, which is peppered with hedging devices. Overall, native English teacher
talk shows both a higher frequency level and variety of linguistic forms in all areas of language. Drawing on these conclusions, practical implications…

▼ A major challenge to contemporary education is to meet the Government’s directive, depicted in OFSTED guidelines and the Department for Education’s Teacher Standards that all our learners make progress, are autonomous and are able to engage in independent learning. However they offer no guidance as to how this can be achieved. The research has built on earlier theories to close the gap between Government measurements of the quality of teaching and twenty-first century educational theories, with particular focus on learning talk. The primary intention of this research was to determine the impact that dynamically dialogic learning conversations, that is learning talk, have on deepening learning, and how they may be used to enable teachers to meet OFSTED’s requirement for all students to make progress. The data for this case study was collected through a process of lesson observations, interviews and focus-group discussions over a period of one year. Sixteen lessons were video-recorded for a variety of topics and the recordings were analysed in depth against established theories of learning and the complex patterns and relationships between the different types of student and teacher learning talk observed in the classroom. The outcome of the analysis is a set of observable characteristics of learning talk which form an Observation Database. The findings support the premise that learning talk in the classroom leads to deeper learning. The Observation Database contains of a set of tools for observing, evaluating and enabling learning talk in the classroom and therefore offers teachers the opportunity to demonstrate OFSTED criteria. The process of developing the Observation Database and the tools developed have been shared both locally and nationally to heighten awareness of learning talk in the classroom and its link to deeper learning.

▼ This dissertation consists of three research papers on cheap talk game and satisficing behaviour. The first chapter examines the potential for communication via cheap talk between an expert and a decision maker whose type (preferences) is uncertain. The expert privately observes states for each type of the decision maker and wants to persuade the decision maker to choose an action in his favour by informing her of the states. The decision maker privately observes her type and chooses an action. An optimal action for the decision maker depends upon both her type and type-specific states. In equilibrium the expert can always inform the decision maker in the form of comparative statements and the decision maker also can partially reveal her type to the expert or public. The second and third chapters build a dynamic model of satisficing behaviour in which an agent’s “expected” payoff is explicitly introduced, where this expectation is adaptively formed. If the agent receives a payoff above her satisficing level she continues with the current action, updating her valuation of the action. If she receives a payoff below her satisficing level and her valuation falls below her satisficing level she updates both her action and satisficing level. In the second chapter, we find that in the long run, all players satisfice. In individual decision problems, satisficing behaviour results in cautious, maximin choice and in normal form games like the Prisoner’s Dilemma and Stag Hunt, they in the long run play either cooperative or defective outcomes conditional on past plays. In coordination games like the Battle of the Sexes, Choosing Sides and Common Interest, they in the long run coordinate on Pareto optimal outcomes. In the third chapter, we find that satisficing players in the long run play subgame dominant paths, which is a refinement of subgame perfection, and identify conditions with which they ‘always cooperate’ or ‘fairly coordinate’ in repeated Prisoner’s Dilemma and Battle of the Sexes games, respectively, and truthfully communicate in sender-receiver games. Proofs and simulations are provided in appendices.

▼ Since 1998 there has been a dramatic increase in the numbers of paid, additional, support staff, employed in Scottish primary schools as successive Scottish governments have attempted to raise standards by freeing teachers from administrative and ‘housekeeping’ duties and allowing them to teach. Of these additional staff, currently just over 4000 are classroom assistants, with a remit to provide general class learning and teaching support, including social inclusion and pupil discipline, under the direction of a fully registered teacher. Classroom assistants in Scotland are almost exclusively White women, typically aged 31-50, but concentrated in the 41-50 age range, partnered and with children of school age. These women exist on the margins of school hierarchies as witnessed by short-term contracts, low pay, limited access to formal training and low status. Nevertheless, many classroom assistants seem willing to accept poor working conditions as a trade off for family friendly working hours. Given these working conditions the study sought to consider several key questions: • Why are classroom assistants willing to undertake work that has low status, low pay and insecurity? • How do classroom assistants create and maintain a sense of integrity and commitment to their work? • How do classroom assistants create and sustain positive social and professional identities in this context? • Why do classroom assistants appear to be complicit, to some extent, in their own oppression? To achieve this the study used a critical ethnographic methods to explore the lived experiences of 13 classroom assistants as they supported pupils in two Scottish primary schools. The key insights were firstly that a Bourdieuian account of class, combined with an understanding of patriarchy, provided an explanation of these women’s labour market decisions. In addition, ‘preference theory’, was rejected in favour of a range of constraints, particularly having children and the associated childcare costs, that were considered much more important factors. Secondly, classroom assistants performed versions of ‘emphasised femininity’ as part of their identity as ‘classroom assistants’. Thirdly, the notion of ‘respectability’ was a crucial analytical tool in explaining not only these women’s constant struggle for recognition, but also their continuing oppression. And finally, classroom assistants told a particular type of talk, the ‘atrocity story’, which contributed to the social production of occupational boundaries. The study concluded that from their position of insecure and poorly paid employment, classroom assistants justified and reconciled their position by drawing on talk of moral superiority associated with mothering and caring to construct and perform identities that created the spaces and boundaries from which they positioned themselves as superior to both parents and teachers. As a result they were able to negotiate their roles within the micro-political world of the school.
