Welcome

Aloha, Graduate Students, Faculty, Staff, and Friends, Welcome to LLL’s 23rd Annual Graduate Student Conference, “Storytelling: The Art of Translation.” Thank you for joining us today to support your students, classmates, colleagues, and friends. The conference offers a wide range of presentation topics, reflecting the breadth and depth of academic research within our college. The conference theme this year, “storytelling: the art of translation” perfectly captures the focus in our college on the centrality of language to our daily lives and the ways that as we tell our own and others’ stories we are inevitably engaged in acts of translation that cross linguistic and cultural divides. I know that we will all learn a great deal from the students presenting today. I am delighted that Russian professor Anastasia Kostetskaya will deliver the keynote address. She works at the intersection of storytelling and the art of translation, and her scholarship elucidates the complexities of symbolism as they develop over time.

The college recently announced its 2019 research award recipients. I’m pleased that Christina Higgins (Second Language Studies), Shawna Yang Ryan (English), J. Vera Lee (English), and Anna Mendoza (Second Language Studies) will speak today. Christina received the Senior Faculty Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Research, Shawna received the Junior & Mid-Career Faculty Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Research, and Vera and Anna each received the Award for Excellence in Doctoral Dissertation Research. Yoshiaki Otta, who also received an Award for Excellence in Doctoral Dissertation Research, is unable to join us. My sincerest thanks to student conference chairs Chiyeon Hwang (East Asian Languages & Literatures), R.L. Hughes (Second Language Studies), Sydney Ludlow (Linguistics), and Noella Handley (Linguistics), and advisors Nandini Chandra, Karin Mackenzie, and Jim Yoshioka for organizing an excellent showcase for intellectual exchange. On a final note, I’d like to acknowledge that this conference may mark the end of the college’s tradition of holding an annual graduate student conference, at least in its current form. I’d like to think that our tradition of providing our graduate students with a forum to present their research and creative work will inspire a similar practice in the new college, one that as it expands to include other disciplines nonetheless will be influenced by the indelible impact Languages, Linguistics & Literature has made on its graduate programs. Me ke aloha,

Keynote Speaker Anastasia Kostetskaya

Anastasia Kostetskaya is an Assistant Professor of Russian at University of Hawaii, Manoa. She has pursued studies in Linguistics and Russian Culture at Volgograd State Pedagogical University and The Ohio State University, from which she holds PhD degrees. A blended product of two academic systems and research traditions—Russian rigor and American breadth of possibilities—she draws on her diverse backgrounds in Linguistics, Russian and Germanic Studies and Philology, Film, Art History, and Russian Literature in her scholarship. Her interest in language as it used by people, and not

just as a formal system, spans a bridge between her research endeavors in the two countries: her monograph Sociolinguistic Characteristics of Students of Cambridge and Harvard (2003) centered on the issues of language and social class in British and American campus fiction, and her new book Iconic Waters of Symbolist Transcendence: Blending Across Time, Media and Genre (2019) also has as one of its major foci cognitive aspects of language. Anastasia's current research interests synthesize her various research experiences. They fall under two categories, which are continuously expanding. For one, she brings together her explorations in the fields of Russian poetry, painting, and film under the umbrella of cognitive linguistic studies—conceptual integration and iconicity. She also explores topics at the intersection of childhood and violence in literature and visual culture from multiple research perspectives.

Keynote 9:15, Keoni Auditorium

The Fluid Poetics of the Dancing Body in Russian Symbolist Film In my presentation, I synthesize connotations of emotional fluidity iconically represented in screendance through the prism of my research on verbal (poetry) and visual (painting and cinema) arts of the Russian Symbolist period. For this purpose, I focus on the famous ballerina solo The Dying Swan performed by ballerina Vera Karalli as part of her role in Evgenii Bauer 1916 film of the same name. The solo is based on Le 9ygnet (“The Swan”), the 13th movement of The Carnival of the Animals (1886) by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921), and was first choreographed by Mikhail Fokine for Anna Pavlova. Within the context of Symbolism, the dance mimicking movements of a dying bird goes far beyond mimesis: it comes to signify the lived emotional experience of “dying of love” through the pliancy of the dancing body. We can clearly identify iconicity of emotional transcendence and the underlying metaphor of fluidity in The Swan Dance, as the context in which it appears matches to the account of this metaphor and its iconic effects in synesthetic verbal and visual arts of Symbolism. The biomorphic bodily design of the solo—from hand-gesture to full body-gesture—embodies the psyche in flux, just like a combination of sounds, rhyme, and meter do in poetry; the balance between shades of paint, lines and shapes in painting creates a similar effect. Hence, dance blends sensations belonging to different sensory modes and iconically evokes multisensory imagery codified in poetry and visual arts.

College of Languages, Linguistics & Literature 2019 Excellence in Research Award Recipients

2019 Senior Faculty Award for Excellence in Scholarship & Research

Christina Higgins is a professor in the Department of Second Language Studies. She researches the sociolinguistics of multilingualism from a discursive perspective. She strives to be a sociolinguist for the real world and to engage in scholarship that will effect positive change in society.

As co-director of the Charlene Junko Sato Center for Pidgin, Creole, and Dialect Studies, Higgins aims to fuse her research with community-based work that encourages greater language awareness and promotes language rights. Her recent work focuses on family language transmission in Hawaiʻi, with attention to the dynamic ways that people claim cultural belonging in revitalizing

and speaking Hawaiian as “new speakers.” She is also researching the spatial distribution of multilingualism on Oʻahu, with a focus on how language ideologies are constructed in the semiotic representation of Pidgin, Japanese, and Hawaiian on signs and other public texts. Higgins' most recent publications can be found in the International Journal of the Sociology of Language, Applied Linguistics Review, and Modern Language Journal.

2019 Junior & Mid-Career Faculty Award for Excellence in Scholarship & Research

Shawna Yang Ryan is an associate professor in the English department and director of the Creative Writing Program. She is the author of two novels: Water Ghosts (Penguin Press, 2009) and Green Island (Knopf, 2016). Green Island, which she spent over a decade researching and writing, explores the nuances of complicity and survival in Taiwan’s White Terror era, and how one man’s hunger for power destroyed the family and community structures of an entire nation, forcing everyday citizens into decisions that echoed down through generations of Taiwan society. In the end, Green Island is a novel about the compromises people make in their commitments to justice, lovers, and family. Green Island received an American Book Award and the

Association for Asian American Studies Best Book Award.

2019 Awards for Excellence in Doctoral Dissertation Research

J. Vera Lee is a doctoral candidate in the English department. Her research interests include Asian American poetry, life writing, and translation studies. Her dissertation, a collection of short stories, is titled Mollusk. Diary of Use, her first book of poems, was published by Tinfish Press (2013). Her work has appeared in American Letters & Commentary, Asymptote, Chicago Review, Colorado Review, Denver Quarterly, Narrative, New American Writing, Poetry Daily, and ZYZZYVA. In spring 2019, she received the John Young Scholarship in the Arts, a coveted scholarship in the Colleges of Arts & Sciences.

Anna Mendoza is a PhD candidate in Second Language Studies. Her dissertation is on translanguaging in two 9th grade English classes. She studies how students’ translanguaging to learn is affected by individual factors such as age of arrival, educational history, domains of use of languages in a person’s repertoire, and dynamic social relations in class. She also underscores the need to look at other kinds of mixed language use apart from translanguaging, such as code-switching related to exclusion and inclusion.

Mendoza earned her BA from Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania and her MA from the University of British Columbia with a scholarship from the Social Sciences and Humanities Council of Canada. Her work has appeared in Critical Inquiry in Language Studies, Foreign Language Annals, and Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy.

Yoshiaki Otta is a PhD student in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures. He examines modern Japanese literature, especially the literary representation of the region the Japanese called the South (nan’yō/nanpō) in the context of colonial expansion and warfare. Employing the insights of postcolonial theory and gender/sexuality studies, Otta investigates representations of Southeast Asian and Taiwanese anti-colonial movements in Japanese literature from the late nineteenth through the twentieth centuries.

Before attending UH Mānoa, he received a BA from International Christian University and an MA from the University of Tokyo. After serving as a visiting scholar at the University of Indonesia in 2018, Otta is currently

working on his doctoral research as Special Research Student at the National Institute of Japanese Literature, Tokyo.

Featured Speakers Abstracts

Christina Higgins 11:45-12:30, Keoni Auditorium

Towards a public sociolinguistics for social justice: Promoting Pidgin in Hawaiʻi

In this presentation, I address the following questions through discussing my research on Pidgin in Hawai‘i: What counts as scholarship in the field of sociolinguistics? Who benefits from research on language? And, How can research on language matter? These questions have been key to my own trajectory as a scholar as I have struggled to engage in research projects that will lead to real-world impacts. I have encountered many scholars in the fields of linguistics and language studies express sincere interest in linguistic activism that will lead to greater respect for language diversity. However, current norms and expectations for scholarship often dissuade researchers from committing much of their time to these activities since it is devalued as ‘service’ and categorized merely as ‘outreach’ (Hazen, 2018). Key challenges are the highly context-specific nature of the research, which is seen as not transferable to other contexts, and the difficulty to demonstrate ‘results’ in terms of changes in beliefs, policies, or practices. In this presentation, I discuss the pitfalls and possibilities that I have experienced in my own research that aims to address social justice issues with regard to Pidgin, the creole language of Hawai‘i. This research strives to encourage greater dialogue among the public about language diversity and to support the language rights of Pidgin speakers, who are regularly discriminated against for the language they speak. I focus on three projects to illustrate the challenges and opportunities for engagement with the public, including 1) the creation of a documentary film by high school students about Pidgin; 2) a museum exhibit about Pidgin at a plantation museum; and 3) a public conference on Pidgin and Education, held at a local high school. These three projects engaged directly with the public to educate people about the history and linguistic status of Pidgin, to challenge misconceptions about language, and to work toward the normalization of Pidgin by promoting its use in domains where it has historically been considered illegitimate.

The Power of Story

In this talk, Creative Writing Program Director Shawna Yang Ryan will discuss the research for her novel, Green Island, a story set during Taiwan's martial law era, and the importance of narratives beyond fiction.

J. Vera Lee 1:25-2:10, Sarimanok

The Storyteller as Poet-Translator: Notes on Writing Mollusk

Poetics, in particular images, make a way into narrative. And translating poetry provides images, along with a keen awareness of the changeability of language. Refreshed vision through language marks an opportunity for growth and transformation. In Mollusk, a collection of short stories, my protagonist, a translator, acknowledges and mediates relationships through images and language. Her stories explore intimacy, distance, and shared memory. My presentation traces developments in my stories and creative writing practice.

Anna Mendoza 1:25-2:10, Kaniela

“Safetalk” and Challenges to Translanguaging Pedagogy in High School ESL

Safetalk (Chick, 1996) refers to classroom talk that serves important social functions but does not facilitate learning. Early work on this phenomenon in multilingual classrooms showed that it involves students giving closed-ended or chorused answers, arising from an unspoken policy of speaking only the target language (a colonial one) which students and perhaps the teacher have limited proficiency in. In contrast, this linguistic ethnography of a 9th grade ESL classroom in one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the U.S. shows that safetalk can also occur when the teacher encourages translanguaging and the school has a flexible range of pathways for new arrivals with different levels of English proficiency and academic preparation. Even under these generally favorable conditions, classroom behaviors and social interactions can still reflect problematic processes of adequation and distinction (Bucholtz & Hall, 2005) that must be directly addressed through metacognition-related translanguaging instruction and potentially face-threatening dialogues.

10:15-10:40 A Translanguaging-based Methodology for Integrating Jejueo and Dialect

Proficiency into the Korean Foreign Language Classroom Bonnie J. Fox (EALL) Sarimanok This project proposes a methodology towards including dialect awareness into KFL classrooms and creating an elevated sociocultural awareness among KFL students. The proposed methodology integrates dialects and Jejueo into the Standard Korean language curriculum through a translanguaging-based methodology. A sample of materials integrating Jejueo provides an example of how to implement this methodology.

Multimodal analysis of using video game Minecraft to study BA-construction in Chinese

Jin Dong (EALL) Kaniela This study studied the process of using a video game Minecraft to facilitate teaching ba-construction in teaching Chinese as a second language. The goal of this research is whether a video game can provide a more natural situation for students to produce the target ba-construction, what the characteristic of students' learning is through this process. A Grimm Decision: Walt Disney's Utilization of Fairy Tales as Children's

Literature Justin Clapp (ENG) Washington This paper looks at the Grimm Brother's fairy tales and how they were translated and transitioned to fit the role of children's literature, even though the source material is, often times, quite gruesome and foreboding. This paper will discuss how these fairy tales have continuously been adapted over time to align with the cultural norms of the location and period. Furthermore, the paper will investigate how both the Grimm Brothers and the Walt Disney Company engaged in many of the same collecting and pacifying strategies through their means to preserve and distribute culturally significant works. The paper will trace editorial changes that the Grimm's took overtime to more align their works with a children's audience, and will conclude with an overview demonstrating how the Walt Disney Company is simply the Brothers Grimm of our generation.

Active Voice in Sundanese

Lucy Miller (LING) Mandarin The aim of this presentation is to cover the active voice in Sundanese, using data collected from the 2018-19 Field Methods course. Previously published research on Sundanese fails to explain why, on many verbs, the active voice prefix /ŋ-/ is not used or does not conform to the established nasal assimilation process. In this presentation, I give a preliminary explanation for the exceptional use of the /ŋ-/ prefix on these verb groups that do not conform.

A Multimodal Analysis of Complement Sequences in Trilogue Interactions

Meghan Delaney (EALL) Pago Pago As Kerbrat-Orecchioni (2004) pointed out, the majority of research done in the field of conversational analysis is focused on a two-party conversation. Interactions made up of three or more people are either ignored or it is simply assumed that the rules governing a two-person interaction also hold true for multi-participant interactions. Using natural data from Korean radio broadcasts, this current study seeks to show how a trilogue (three participants) context gives rise to a collaborative complimenting sequence and seeks to understand how this sequence is shaped, through both linguistic and non-linguistic means. It is especially interested in how utterances can be interpreted as having different illocutionary forces for different participants.

10:45-11:10

Quantitative Study on L2 Acquisition of Chinese Locative Phrase

zai51+NP+shang51/ li214 Xiaolong Lu (EALL) Sarimanok This study examines how second language (L2) Chinese learners, whose first language (L1) is American English, acquire the highly used Chinese locative phrase zai51+NP+shang51/ li214 through quantitative research. Predictions and implications are provided regarding L2 acquisition of this Chinese locative phrase by English speakers.

Self-reference practice and identity construction -data from Instagram- Hitoshi Nishizawa (SLS) Kaniela The study investigates the self-reference word use in Japanese, which is rich in variety, and identity disclosed in the discourse. The study discusses the result together with the findings from questionnaire survey.

Centering the Forgotten: Translating History into Science Fiction Paulina Harrison (ENG) Washington My paper will discuss the crafting of my thesis project, Annexed, and how translation in the traditional and expanded sense influenced my work. This paper will look at creative writing craft, creative writing research, and stylistic choices in order to take information from one field, history, and move it into another, genre fiction. This paper is written specifically for this conference, thus it has yet to be completed.

The relationship between pronominal forms and politeness in Sasak Khairunnisa (LING) Mandarin This study examines how non-noble Sasak speakers perform politeness by using pronominal forms.

Teasing and Banter in Authentic Korean Conversations Tyler Miyashiro (EALL) Pago Pago This paper analyzes the various pragmalinguistic forms through which jocular frameworks of interaction are established and encoded for acts of teasing in authentic Korean conversations.

Translating Curriculum Design to the Classroom: TBLT with English for Academic Purposes

R. L. Hughes (SLS) Sarimanok Supported by the SLA literature of Robinson and Ellis this task-supported curriculum for ESL 100 refines academic writing skills, by translating college writing expectations into language learning tasks. This curriculum, focused around four target tasks, helps students visualize and experience narration, argumentation, comparison, and analysis. “They took our星 xing (star)!” A study on multilingual interactions in a

video game setting Jin Dong and Agnese Scaturro (EALL) Kaniela Our research topic focuses on multilingual interactions generated within video game activities designed for language learning.

“The Ghost of Irish”: How Ciaran Carson’s First Language Adds New

Layers of Narrative to His English Poems Joana O'Steen (ENG) Washington

This paper analyzes how Ciaran Carson’s native language Irish affects the narratives presented in his English poems. Building on other scholars’ descriptions of the “in-betweenness” of his spatial and linguistic tropes, I argue that the various processes of translation performed in or triggered by his poems add new layers to their narrative space and both establish and complicate the narrator’s positionality within a fiercely divided Belfast.

Voice, Tense, Aspect, and Number in Subanon Sharon Estioca (LING) Mandarin Philippine-type languages are known for its complex verbal morphology. Analysis of verbal morphology of Subanon, an understudied Austronesian Philippine language, reveals that portmanteau affixes are used to express voice, transitivity, tense, aspect and number. The findings of the study provide

19

valuable information about how verbal morphology works in Philippine languages.

Preliminary Analysis of Positioning and Rapport Maintenance in

Japanese Classes Micah Mizukami (LING) Pago Pago This paper is a preliminary analysis of interview data with Japanese language teaching assistants and draws on tools from narrative analysis to analyze teacher-student interactions. The interview data suggests that differences in positionality may be linked with first-language ideologies.

2:15-2:40

Black Language Matters: A Case Study of Black Identities in an L2 isiXhosa Classroom

Taylor Lewis (SLS) Sarimanok This paper explores how Black students developed their intersectional identities as "learners with heritage motivation" in a beginner isiXhosa class.

Animated Haʻi Moʻolelo ʻŌiwi: Place-Based Pedagogy in Practice Dannii Yarbrough and N. Haʻalilio Solomon (LING) Kaniela Place-based pedagogy is an approach to creating curriculum in a way that challenges current theories and practices that are often hegemonic and colonial. For Hawaiians, storytelling is the primary means of transmitting knowledge, and place-based pedagogy embraces this tradition in the classroom. We are creating a series of short animated films that retell moʻolelo ʻōiwi (traditional folk stories). Our project seeks to develop place-based teaching materials in Hawaiʻi nei through the creation of these videos. The short films include aspects of the local geography, material culture, value systems, alternative literacies, and worldview inherent in the original mo‘olelo. In the talk, we outline our process of selecting and retelling moʻolelo, and we present our plan to share them in schools, and more generally in the community.

Translating and Translanguaging as Rhetorical Devices in Fiction Gonzalo Isidro Bruno (LLEA) Washington This presentation discusses the use of multilingual translation and translanguaging as rhetorical devices in a novel in progress. This novel unfolds in a world of migration, homophobia, organized crime, and multiple languages. The Interaction between Sentence Final Particle ne and Durative Aspect

zhe in Mandarin Shu-Yu Huang (EALL) Mandarin This study investigates the sentence final particle ne in interaction with the durative aspect zhe in Mandarin Chinese.

Haoma’: Exploration of a Mandarin discourse marker Kripa Bhagat (EALL) Pago Pago This paper is a corpus-based study on Mandarin discourse markers among examples of internet mediated communication. Through the lens of cyberpragmatics, the paper explores an understanding of pragmatic markers within the context of communication platforms where brevity takes importance. Through a corpus search and encoding of each example in the tradition of Schriffin's (1987) paper on interaction, I conclude that hao ma is a discourse marker that can mark a suggestion, be used as a rhetorical request, emphasize a desire, or opinion, and exclaim anger. This paper hopes to contribute to the exploration of discourse markers in Mandarin Chinese and aims to better understand discourse markers within web-based discourse.

2:45-3:10

Vocabulary Building Tasks: SLA of Indonesian as a Foreign Language R.L. Hughes (SLS) Sarimanok Current understandings of vocabulary acquisition in SLA suggest that visual mapping of lexical fields better supports vocabulary retention for advanced learners then more traditional methods. This study explores these understandings in Indonesian as a Foreign Language context. When students are past the stage of direct translation, their large vocabulary needs are supported though vocabulary building exercises that foster lexical and semantic field development.

Storytelling in Language-related Research Dissemination: The Case of Multi-ʻōlelo

Kaniela Huy Phung, Mery Díez-Ortega, Masaki Eguchi, Anna Mendoza, Thu Ha Nguyen, Raquel Reinagel; (SLS) This presentation will introduce a crowd-sourcing platform, Multi-ʻōlelo, that publishes language-related research summaries in multiple languages via various formats. Multi-ʻōlelo aims to promote multilingual, multicultural perspectives and encourage different forms of scholarship for public access and interaction. We will share our stories of how Multi-ʻōlelo has been initiated, prototyped and implemented so far and present different ways you can contribute. Translation, Transformation, and Translatability of "Chinese Feminism"

in 20th- Century Chinese literature and Films Yijun Ding (EALL) Washington This paper examines how the term "feminism" has been translated into Chinese context and how the meaning of "Chinese feminism" has been changed in the three key periods of modern China—May Fourth Period (1919-1949), the Maoist Socialist China (1949-1976), and post-Maoist era (1976-present)—through fictional representations of women in 20th-century Chinese literature and film.

Indefinite Numeral Classifier Phrases in Mandarin Yao Huang (EALL) Mandarin The paper examine the whether it is possible for indefinite numeral classifier phrases to appear in the subject position in Mandarin.

Sound Changes in Pastaza and Napo Quichua Sydney Ludlow (LING) Pago Pago Quichua, a member of the Quechuan language family, is spoken throughout Ecuador. There are many distinguished dialects and varieties within the country. This paper explores sound changes unique to the Amazonian lowlands, particularly the Napo and Pastaza Quichua dialects. In particular the processes of lenition, fortition, and diphthongization.

3:15-3:40

Identifying and Improving Korean Orthographic Errors via Dictation Tasks

Dianne Juhn (EALL) Sarimanok This research focuses on designing dictation tasks as effective assessment tools for measuring the perception of Korean phonetics among the learners of Korean languages, particularly for non-heritage Korean speakers. Verb Initial Word Order as a Result of VP Movement in Western Subanon Trent Ukasick (LING) Mandarin This paper examines the derivation of verb initial word order in Western Subanon using a generative syntactic analysis. The paper proposes that this word order is a result of VP movement to the specifier position of IP.

Rendaku in the Syntax-Phonology Interface: A Corpus-Study on Verbal Noun Compounds

Michiko Fukasawa (LING) Pago Pago Previous study have argued that Rendaku of Verbal Noun (VN) compounds occurs when the first member of a compound is a modifier of the second member. The biggest problem of this approach is that the definition of “modification” is ambiguous. In fact, much research seem to confuse syntactic and semantic relationship between elements and therefore fail to determine “modifying” relationship. To avoid confusing this problem, we classify VN compounds based on the grammatical category of heads, considering its potential “case” which is shown by a case marker in the corresponding sentence of the compound. We also test the claims of previous studies such as Kindaichi (1976) and Okumura (1955; 1980; 1984) quantitatively, aiming to see if their intuitions are observed in corpus data. We collected 3,128 verbal noun compounds from a Japanese dictionary, Kojien, and analyzed them. Overall, it was observed that syntactic relation between the first member and the second member of VN compounds influences whether Rendaku takes place or not; VN compounds with adjunct-like relationships between the two elements show high rate of Rendaku, whereas VN compounds with argument-like relationships between the two elements have lower probability to undergo Rendaku. This leads to revise the list of exceptional Rendaku conditions that Suzuki (2009) suggests, as well as provide new constraints on Rendaku of VN compounds.
