the crisis of identity in jhumpa lahiris fiction: interpreter of maladies and the namesake

شکل گیری هویت(identity) مقوله مهمی در ادبیات پراکنده مردم(diasporan literature) می باشد. آثار جومپا لاهیری(jhumpa lahiri) ، نویسنده هندی آمریکایی، در سالهای اخیر تحسین منتقدین را به خود معطوف کرده است. وی در این آثار زندگی مهاجران و تلاش آنان برای پیدا کردن جایگاهشان در یک فرهنگ بیگانه را به تصویر کشیده است. این تجربه همواره با احساساتی نظیر دلتنگی برای گذشته، بیگانگی و دوری همراه است. با این ح...

Score Generalizability of Writing Assessment: the Effect of Rater’s Gender

The score reliability of language performance tests has attracted increasing interest. Classical Test Theory cannot examine multiple sources of measurement error. Generalizability theory extends Classical Test Theory to provide a practical framework to identify and estimate multiple factors contributing to the total variance of measurement. Generalizability theory by using analysis of variance ...

Generalization and Generalizability Measures

In this paper, we define the generalization problem, summarize various approaches in generalization, identify the credit assignment problem, and present the problem and some solutions in measuring generalizability. We discuss anomalies in the ordering of hypotheses in a subdomain when performance is normalized and averaged, and show conditions under which anomalies can be eliminated. To general...

Generalizability Theory: Overview

36 Generalizability Theory

Generalizability (G) theory is a statistical theory for evaluating the dependability (or reliability) of behavioral measurements (Cronbach, Gleser, Nanda, & Rajaratnam, 1972; see also Brennan, 2001; Shavelson & Webb, 1991). G theory permits the researcher to address such questions as: Is the sampling of tasks or judges the major source of measurement error? Can I improve the reliability of the ...
