Category: Other EventDates: February 17, 2017 - February 25, 2017
Truly “epic” in its scope, Mother Courage and Her Children combines a deeply moving examination of human frailty with a provocative call to arms for social change — one that has only intensified in relevance in the almost 80 years since it was first staged. This vivid reimagining of Brecht’s masterpiece explores the distance between those who participate in war, those who profit from it, and those who consume its drama … that is, the audience. Feb. 17-18 at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 19 at 2 p.m. Feb. 21-25 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets Adults: $20 - Students/Seniors: $15 scpa.ucalgary.ca

Category: Other EventDates: December 9, 2016 - December 9, 2016
Dr. Qingrun Zhang of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Calgary is giving the fall 2016 SAGE/Biostatistics Seminar entitled Pattern Mining of Epistatic Interactions in Genome-Wide Case-Control Association Studies. Summary of the talk: Identifying gene-gene interaction is a hot topic in genome wide association studies. Two fundamental challenges are: (1) how to smartly identify combinations of variants that may be associated with the trait from astronomical number of all possible combinations; and (2) how to test epistatic interaction when all potential combinations are available. We developed AprioriGWAS, which brings two innovations. (1) Based on Apriori, a successful method in field of Frequent Itemset Mining (FIM) in which a pattern growth strategy is leveraged to effectively and accurately reduce search space, AprioriGWAS can efficiently identify genetically associated genotype patterns. (2) To test the hypotheses of epistasis, we adopt a new conditional permutation procedure to obtain reliable statistical inference of Pearson’s chi-square test for the 2 x n contingency table generated by associated variants. By applying AprioriGWAS to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) data, we found that: (1) angiopoietin 1 (ANGPT1) and four retinal genes interact with Complement Factor H (CFH). (2) GO term “glycosaminoglycan biosynthetic process” was enriched in AMD interacting genes. The epistatic interactions newly found by AprioriGWAS on AMD data are likely true interactions, since genes interacting with CFH are retinal genes, and GO term enrichment also verified that interaction between glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and CFH plays an important role in disease pathology of AMD. By applying AprioriGWAS on Bipolar disorder in WTCCC data, we found variants without marginal effect show significant interactions. For example, multiple-SNP genotype patterns inside gene GABRB2 and GRIA1 (AMPA subunit 1 receptor gene). AMPARs are found in many parts of the brain and are the most commonly found receptor in nervous system. The GABRB2 mediates the fastest inhibitory synaptic transmission in central nervous system. GRIA1 and GABRB2 are relevant to mental disorders supported by multiple evidences.

Unnatural Language and Natural Thinking: Shakespeare and His Contemporaries (University of Calgary)
Category: Other EventDates: December 2, 2016 - December 2, 2016
Critics of computational text analysis tend to perceive its focus on language patterns as a flattening of qualitative texts into quantifiable patterns. They're right. But a text's linguistic operating system deserves close scrutiny when it reveals features of the text that a human reader can't perceive, or when it flags evidence beyond our capacity to gather. The Augmented Criticism Lab has developed algorithms to detect features of repetition and variation in the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries (starting with drama, namely the Folger's Digital Anthology). We've begun with features like rhetorical figures that repeat lemmas (heed, heedful, heeding) or morphemes (heeding, wringing, vexing). We use natural-language processing to gather evidence of these unnatural formulations, to ask whether they signal natural habits of thought. The interpretive payoff is our ability to make more definitive arguments not just about these figures, but also about underlying cognitive habits. This presentation describes our process and our corpus, and presents a range of our results with this initial corpus before we expand to the billion words in the EEBO-TCP corpus (1473-1700).

Why Don’t Chinese Speakers Finish Their Turns? (University of Calgary)
Category: Other EventDates: December 2, 2016 - December 2, 2016
The School of Languages, Linguistics, Literatures and Cultures presents Why Don’t Chinese Speakers Finish Their Turns? Multimodal Construction of Syntactically Incomplete Turns in Mandarin Conversation, with Dr. Xiaoting Li, professor of Chinese linguistics at the Department of East Asian Studies, University of Alberta. In everyday conversation, people normally take turns to speak and recipients usually initiate their talk upon the possible completion of the speaker’s turn (Sacks et al., 1974). However, speakers sometimes do not complete the verbal delivery of their turns. That is, a speaker’s turn is and remains syntactically incomplete. Adopting the methodology of conversation analysis, interactional linguistics and multimodal analysis, this paper examines eight hours of natural Mandarin conversation and investigates how participants deploy multimodal resources such as lexico-syntax, prosody, and bodily-visual conduct to construct and interpret the syntactically incomplete turns (SIT), and the interactional grounds for the syntactically incomplete turns in Mandarin conversation. The study shows that syntactically, many incomplete turns in the data are in the Topic-Comment structure (a typological syntactic feature of Chinese) with the Comment verbally unproduced. Prosodically, the syllables immediately prior to the termination of the syntactically incomplete utterance are usually produced with noticeably lower volume and pitch movement. Body movements such as head shakes, gestures and gaze also provide resources indicating the end of speaker’s verbal delivery and sometimes even the type of elements that are left unsaid. In the data, SITs may be used to deal with delicate or problematic matters in Mandarin interaction.
Location:
Craigie Hall D 420
Speaker:
Dr. Xiaoting Li is assistant professor of Chinese linguistics at the Department of East Asian Studies, University of Alberta. Her research interest is language in social interaction and multimodal interaction. She uses the methodology of conversation analysis, interactional linguistics, and multimodal analysis to study language and body movement in Chinese talk-in-interaction. Her book Multimodality, Interaction, and Turn-taking in Mandarin Conversation (John Benjamins, 2014) is the first book-length work on turn-taking and multimodality in Chinese interaction. Her work on Mandarin conversation has been published widely in international journals such as Journal of Pragmatics and Language Sciences.

Art Now with Tomas Jonsson (University of Calgary)
Category: Other EventDates: December 2, 2016 - December 2, 2016
This talk will focus on installation and performative practices that use personal and familial narratives as a way to understand, produce, and unravel conceptions of place. Through his artistic practice, Tomas Jonsson is involved in a long-term engagement with the local landscape and history of Calgary to interrogate larger conditions of urban development, migration, colonial histories, and logics in which his presence is implicated. Using simple transactions as forms for social encounter and engagement, he is interested in how points of exchange can be imbued with other forms of value. About Tomas Jonsson Tomas Jonsson is an artist, curator, and writer interested in issues of social agency in processes of urban growth and transformation. Jonsson has produced several projects in Calgary addressing the city’s urban transformation, including sites such as The East Village and Hillhurst Sunnyside. He has also curated, presented, and performed work in Canada and internationally, including Artscape Gibraltar Point (Toronto), Suvilahti (Helsinki), and MoKS (Mooste, Estonia). He is currently the artistic director of the Mountain Standard Time Performative Art Festival (southern Alberta).
