212. Whittle Communications and Channel One: Rhetorical Strategies of Innovation.

Author

Adams, Scott

Abstract

A study examined the message features that influence an innovation's acceptance by a mass audience. The study looked at three strategies of innovational rhetoric (denial of controversy, subtle criticism of existing institutions, and projection of a rhetorical vision) used by a commercial broadcasting company, called Whittle Communications in 1989, in an attempt to gain acceptance for the "Channel One" programming which Whittle was attempting to place into the New York State school system. Corporate discourse of Whittle Communications immediately prior to the June 1989 meeting of the New York State Board of Regents was examined to illuminate the use of innovative rhetoric as a response to a social institution's actions. Advertisements sponsored by Whittle Communications that appeared in "The New York Times" from June 7-15, 1989, were also analyzed. Results indicated that although the use of innovational strategies was not a total success for Whittle Communications, Whittle did, however, shape much of the public debate surrounding the issue of commercially sponsored news broadcasts in the nation's public schools, and says that it has persuaded 5,761 schools in 45 states to use Channel One. (Copies of the advertisements analysed and 63 references are attached.) (PRA)

213. The Arkansas Debate of 1990: A Narrative View of Role.

Author

Adams, Scott

Abstract

Scholars can learn much from analyzing discourse within a statewide political debate. A study used W. R. Fisher's theory of narrative rationality to analyze the first intra-party debate (April 16, 1990) between Republican candidates for Governor of Arkansas, Sheffield Nelson and Tommy Robinson, to ascertain the narrative rationality employed by each and the roles portrayed by each. A detailed examination of the question, answers, and closing statements of the debate, using R. P. Hart's method of role analysis, revealed that of Nelson's 188 statements referring to himself, the largest number fell into the category of performative action, followed by narrative action, then behavioral action and lastly emotional/moral action. Results further showed that of Robinson's 92 self-references, the largest number were in the category of narrative action, followed by performative action, then emotional/moral action, with behavioral action as the smallest category. Findings suggest that Nelson was able to play the successful chief executive officer, and by concentrating his self references in the behavioral category, was able to provide Arkansas voters a consistent picture of his plans for the future of the state. Findings further suggest that Robinson, with the bulk of his statements in the category of narrative action, was not able to promote his vision of the future of the state. (One table is included and 93 references are attached.) (PRA)

Abstract

Purpose: The settings of 3 electrical stimulation parameters were adjusted in 12 speakers with Parkinson's disease (PD) with deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) to examine their effects on vowel acoustics and speech intelligibility. Method: Participants were tested under permutations of low, mid, and high STN-DBS frequency, voltage, and pulse width settings. At each session, participants recited a sentence. Acoustic characteristics of vowel production were extracted, and naive listeners provided estimates of speech intelligibility. Results: Overall, lower-frequency STN-DBS stimulation (60 Hz) was found to lead to improvements in intelligibility and acoustic vowel expansion. An interaction between speaker sex and STN-DBS stimulation was found for vowel measures. The combination of low frequency, mid to high voltage, and low to mid pulse width led to optimal speech outcomes; however, these settings did not demonstrate significant speech outcome differences compared with the standard clinical STN-DBS settings, likely due to substantial individual variability. Conclusions: Although lower-frequency STN-DBS stimulation was found to yield consistent improvements in speech outcomes, it was not found to necessarily lead to the best speech outcomes for all participants. Nevertheless, frequency may serve as a starting point to explore settings that will optimize an individual's speech outcomes following STN-DBS surgery. Supplemental Material: https://doi.org/10.23641/ asha.5899228, Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative movement disorder characterized by the cardinal features of tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability.
