This article studies the decline of her film stardom and her retirement from films as concurrent with the definitive end of the female comic as the unequivocal subject, rather than object, of comedy.Item 'I want to go back to the text': Response Strategies on the Reading Subtest of the New TOEFL(Publisher of previously issued instance of this item: Copyright © 2007 SAGE Publications., 2007-04) Cohen, Andrew D.; Upton, Thomas A. (Thomas Albin)This study describes the reading and test-taking strategies that test takers used on the ‘Reading’ section of the LanguEdge Courseware (2002) materials developed to familiarize prospective respondents with the new TOEFL. The investigation focused on strategies used to respond to more traditional ‘single selection’ multiple-choice formats (i.e., Basic Comprehension and Inferencing questions) and the new selected-response (multiple selection, drag-and-drop) Reading to Learn items. The latter were designed to simulate the academic skill of forming a comprehensive and coherent representation of an entire text, rather than focusing on discrete points in the text. Verbal report data were collected from 32 students, representing four language groups (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and ‘Other’) doing the Reading section tasks from the LanguEdge Courseware materials. Students were randomly assigned to two of the six reading subtests, each consisting of a 600–700 word text with 12–13 items, and subjects’ verbal reports accompanying items representing each of the ten item types were evaluated to determine strategy use. The findings provide insights into the response behaviors prompted by the reading tasks on the new TOEFL.Item Understanding Direct Mail Letters as a Genre(Originally published by ©John Benjamins Publishing Co.[BREAK]Article reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

Ask a librarian: [LINK]http://ulib.iupui.edu/research/askalibrarian[/LINK]., 2002) Upton, Thomas A. (Thomas Albin)What makes non-profit, philanthropic discourse so persuasive has not been well explored to date. Using a specialized corpus of direct-mail letters from philanthropic organizations in five different fields, this study seeks to combine the tools of corpus analysis with the specificity of genre analysis in a way that has not been done before to provide a new perspective on a genre that is not well understood. The underlying goal is to look for a methodology that will provide much of the qualitative detail that is common to genre analysis while at the same time provide the reliability that is best assured by the quantitative power of computerized corpus analysis. Using Bhatia's approach to genre analysis (1993) and his exploratory efforts in investigating fundraising discourse (1997, 1998) as a foundation, key patterns in the rhetorical structure of direct-mail letters revealed through a large-scale corpus analysis are presented.Item Editorial: Nursing Papers(This is a post-peer-review, pre-copyedit version of an article published in International Journal of Educational Advancement.

Further reproduction of this article in violation of the copyright is prohibited., 1998) Upton, Thomas A. (Thomas Albin)Readers for whom English is a second language often misinterpret texts. One source for such errors is failing to accurately recognize phonemic and graphemic features, leading to interpreting a text within a framework not intended by the author. Teachers can help second language readers become more perceptive by preparing students for the material and providing practice in recognizing the text's syntactic connections.Item The First Quarto of Hamlet in Film: The Revenge Tragedies of Tony Richardson and Franco Zeffirelli(Publisher of original article: Brunel University West London. EnterText may be found online at: [LINK]http://www.brunel.ac.uk/about/acad/sa/artresearch/entertext/issues[/LINK]., 2001-08) Bourus, TerriIn 1969, Tony Richardson released a filmed version of his acclaimed theatrical production of Hamlet. Twenty-one years, and many staged productions of Hamlet later, Franco Zeffirelli filmed yet another, and very different, Hamlet. Whereas Richardson’s is darkly minimal, Zeffirelli’s colourful and star-studded production is lavish in set and setting. Nicol Williamson’s intense portrayal of Hamlet is a far cry from that of Mel Gibson’s Hollywood-esque revenger. But together, these films, and other daring productions like them, demonstrated the actability of the first quarto of Hamlet as a performance text thereby helping to change its status among textual scholars as well, prompting them to reevaluate the 1603 quarto.
