“Clamor Iste Canor Est”

This chapter begins with fourteenth-century hermit Richard Rolle's final chapter of the Incendium Amoris or “fire of love,” which recalls his early religious fervor. It analyses that Rolle's characteristic love-language demonstrates an impulse to describe his relationship with God in terms of the emotional bonds and bodily feeling of a melancholic lover. It also describes Rolle's choice of the nightingale as a persona for his youthful longing as drawing on a long literary tradition that linked the song of the nightingale to passionate devotion and lament. The chapter sketches how and why Rolle presents his experience on sensations of canor or mystical song as an extrasemantic experience of sound. It discusses extrasemantic experience that amplifies how Rolle's theology theorizes voice and establishes his place as a foundational figure in a vernacular devotional tradition grounded in sound and noise.

Effects of Grandchildren’s Love Language Program on Depression among Thai Older Adults

Depression in older adults has remained 1 of the major detrimental public health problems both worldwide and in Thailand. Among the myriad healing approaches, mental attachment on the basis of grandchildren’s love language is favorably perceived by Thai older adults with depression. The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to evaluate the effects of grandchildren’s love language program on reducing depression among Thai older adults. Eighty Thai older adults with mild to moderate depression levels received the so-called “Love Language of Grandchildren Program” (n = 40) and usual care (n = 40). The Nine-Question Scale (9Q) and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) were distributed at the pre- and post-treatment and at the 12 and 24-week of the follow-ups. The treatment effectiveness was evaluated by using Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA). The 9Q and HRSD scores revealed a significantly neutralized depression for those in love language of grandchildren program and, on the other hand, no decline was observed in the usual care’s participants. Love language of grandchildren program effectively reduced 9Q and HRSD symptoms of emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and physical conditions respectively. It was also more effective than the usual care in reducing mild to moderate symptoms of depression (p < 0.05). The findings provide better understanding on how grandchildren approach to prevent depression for Thai older adults in a family and community, and can be used to guide further capacity development for grandchildren who provide helping to this group.

Love Language

Chapter 4 engages with Plato’s Symposium, P. B. Shelley’s “On Love,” and Friedrich Schlegel’s Dialogue on Poetry. These texts share an ancient trope of love as the metaxu, an agent of the in-between that enables exchange between mortals and gods, self and other. The figure of middling love is crucial to Shelley’s and Schlegel’s reception of Plato. In Shelley’s fragment, middling logic operates at the level of address and voice to complicate claims about self and other, type and anti-type, reducing desire to the pure motion of language and emptying out the self. Schlegel’s Dialogue draws on the circling movement that repeatedly drives the self out of itself toward the other and back again. Unlike Hegel, he radically undercuts any possibility of ascension or resolution, instead underscoring the tendency to divide and divide again. The chapter considers this restless middle, continually subject to division, as the crux of romantic philology.

“I Don’t Love Language; I Love Children”: Students’ Knowledge, Attitudes, and Beliefs About Linguistics and their Choice to Major in Speech-Language Pathology

Purpose: This pilot study explored the linguistic attitudes, knowledge, and beliefs of undergraduate majors in speech-language pathology (SLP) and the role an interest in linguistics played in their choice of the SLP major. Method: Fifteen undergraduate students declared as SLP majors participated in this mixed-methods study. Participants responded to a survey and open-ended questions measuring their knowledge about and interest in linguistics; they also wrote a narrative essay describing their decision to major in SLP. Data was collected via Qualtrics. Descriptive statistics were done on the quantitative data, and thematic coding using NVivo 12.1.0 was done on qualitative data. Results: Most participants were interested in linguistics and expressed a belief that knowledge of linguistics would be important in their work as SLPs. In generally, however, they demonstrated limited linguistic knowledge and did not include an interest in linguistics as a major influence in their choice to major in SLP. Furthermore, attitudes toward non-standard English were implicit in responses. Participants’ responses indicated that personal interests, quality of life concerns, and the constraints of other career choices - possibly along with societal norms and expectations related to gender/race and career path - intersected as factors that led to the career choice of SLP. Conclusions: Results are of importance to those involved in the design and implementation of undergraduate programs in speech-language pathology, as well as those wishing to recruit students, including minority and male students, to the field of SLP. Additional research should be done with participants from other academic institutions, as well with male students and students of color, to produce more generalizable results.
