The narrator of The Longcut is an artist who doesn’t know what her art is. As she gets lost on her way to a meeting in an art gallery, walking around in circles in a city she knows perfectly well, she finds herself endlessly sidetracked and distracted by the question of what her work is and how she’ll know it when she sees it. Her mental peregrinations take her through the elements that make up her life: her dull office job where she spends the day moving items into a “completed” column, insomniac nights in her so-called studio (also known as her tiny apartment), encounters with an enigmatic friend who may or may not know her better than she knows herself. But wherever she looks she finds only more questions—what is the difference between the world and the photographed world, why do objects wither in different contexts, what is Cambridge blue—that lead her further away from the one thing that really matters. An extraordinary feat of syntactical dexterity and comic ingenuity, The Longcut is ultimately a story of resistance to easy answers and the place of art and the artist in the world.

Abstract: Children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) are known to have problems marking finiteness (tense) on verbs. As a consequence, this has been shown as a clinical marker of the disorder. In this study, other constructions of difficulty for children with SLI are sought, as a means of improving diagnostic capabilities. To do this, a construction that theoretically depends on finiteness: subject-auxiliary inversion (SAI), is investigated. SAI is a word order alternation that occurs in questions, among other constructions, and has been shown to correlate in its development with finiteness. Work showing this correlation, however, was not able to remove the effects of general language development. To remedy this problem, and clarify whether SAI may be a potential clinical marker of SLI, three experiments were carried out. The first tested children''s knowledge of the Binding Theory, which determines the structural configuration in which pronouns, like (him), and reflexives, like (himself), can be used. Procedurally, the grammaticality choice format was used in order to present an equal number of grammatical and ungrammatical constructions (Pratt & Grinstead 2007). Children showed improvement with age in their judgments of Binding. For Experiment 2, test items were compiled from previous grammaticality choice measures of finiteness, SAI, and pronoun case with items from the Binding Principles task in order to determine whether finiteness and SAI still correlate with one another, but not with Binding results. Binding was used as a proxy for general language development and was partialed out statistically. Samples from experiments one and two were compiled of typically-developing (TD) pre-school children, in order to gain a sample of TD age controls. The third experiment of this study aims to uncover specific language impaired children''s judgments of SAI in order to investigate the reality of predictions made. 53 children between the ages of 3;1 and 6;2 participated in this study.

"This dissertation analyzes twenty-first century British avant-garde fiction and argues that a defining literary issue is the shifting dynamic between writers and readers. In particular, the dissertation examines avant-garde authors and the ways in which they conceptualize their readers and their own positions in the literary market place. Contemporary avant-garde writers often claim that their authority has been transferred to an empowered reading public. I explore how material changes including new publishing trends and digitization have re-defined and even blurred the distinctions between authors and readers. I then contextualize these concerns by historicizing anxieties about control, readers, and the marketplace to better show how notions of authority are contingent upon shifts in publishing practices, the expansion of the reading public, and the economic conditions of authorship. In order to demonstrate how these evolving dynamics impact literature, I use the novels of Gabriel Josipovici, Jeanette Winterson, and William Self to show how writers use their fiction to both critique empowered readers and to restore their authority. My study makes the following critical interventions: First, scholarly works on members of the avant-garde have long argued that these authors ignore writing about "real" issues in favor of abstract ideas about literature, beauty, and art. I counter these claims by illuminating how contemporary avant-garde writers are in fact responding to the same economic and cultural pressures as those authors who write for mass audiences. Second, the dissertation contributes to an emerging discussion about literary trends after the millennium. Critics recently have observed that contemporary British writers are aligning themselves with Modernist aesthetics and ideologies. My dissertation suggests that we can only understand this return to Modernism by juxtaposing Modernist and post-Postmodernist concerns about the influence of mass culture on literature and authorial agency."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.
