“…To control as much as possible for differences of meaning, the two versions of the text presented are matched in their content. Studies using the MGT have shown that speakers using communication conventions of a higher status social group were assumed to have more favorable qualities overall (Giles, 1970;Giles, Williams, Mackie, & Rosselli, 1995;Jaffe & Walton, 2000;Segrest Purkiss, Perrew e, Gillespie, Mayes, & Ferris, 2006;Tsalikis, Ortiz-Buonafina, & LaTour, 1992).…”

Students attending a Native Hawaiian-serving institution read statements from two hypothetical job candidates. The passages had equivalent meaning, but one incorporated Hawaiian leadership values (HLV) without identifying them as such. Participants judged the HLV candidate to have lower credibility, rationality, and effectiveness, and preferred the non-HLV candidate for a leadership role. Participants' ancestry, gender, and collectivism were unrelated to candidate preference. Business majors showed the strongest preference for the non-HLV candidate. Within majors, higher grade point average predicted preference for the non-HLV candidate. The results have implications for how educators may confront implicit assumptions about leadership.Business schools have begun to recognize the importance of cross-cultural literacy and inclusiveness. The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB, 2008) has formulated standards for undergraduate curriculum describing diversity as "a complex, culturally embedded concept rooted within historical and cultural traditions, legislative and regulatory concepts, economic conditions, ethnicity, gender, and opinion" (p. 9).At the same time that the two AACSB-accredited business schools within the University of Hawaii System are preparing to adopt the new standards, the University of Hawaii system as part of its strategic plan aims to become "a model indigenous serving institution" (University of Hawaii Office of the President, 2014, p. 4). A model indigenous serving institution, according to the university president's website, includes Native Hawaiian values in its decision making and practices, as well as fostering and promoting Hawaiian culture and language at all its campuses.Integrating Native Hawaiian values into the business curriculum appears to be a positive step toward fulfilling both the goals of the AACSB and the university system.The present study is an initial step toward overhauling parts of the business curriculum to incorporate Hawaiian values by investigating students' impressions of, and assumptions about, a hypothetical individual who invokes Hawaiian values and practices in business communication.

RESUMENEl artículo presenta una investigación en la que se analizan, desde una perspectiva lexicométrica y factorial, los aspectos lingüísticos y paralingüísticos más relevantes de la escritura digital síncrona del adolescente español, en uno de los programas de mensajería instantá-nea más utilizados en la actualidad (WhatsApp©). La escritura en soportes digitales mó-viles (smartphones y tabletas) es una de las actividades más realizadas en nuestra sociedad y constituye un componente esencial de la competencia comunicativa en la Sociedad de la Información. La comunicación digital forma parte de nuestras vidas y el análisis del uso comunicativo digital y ubicuo con dispositivos y programas tiene amplias repercusiones sociales, lingüísticas y pedagógicas. La investigación se ha contextualizado en una muestra de 417 conversaciones de WhatsApp de estudiantes de enseñanza secundaria, de entre 13 y 16 años, en cuatro provincias españolas. La metodología de investigación ha sido de corte cuantitativa para abordar el análisis lexicométrico del corpus lingüístico-digital con refe-

“…Critical discourse analysts suggest that this ignores the influence of society and ideology (Billig 1999a(Billig , 1999bvan Dijk 1999). Ignoring this, some argue, could work to misrepresent participants, their stories, and therefore the rigor of the interpretations made from the transcript (Jaffe and Walton 2000;Preston 1982). …”

“…A hierarchy is implied with standard, American English placed above those that deviate from this norm. Jaffe and Walton (2000) further noted that when these non-standard orthographies are read, they often denote race and class that can then be attached to prejudiced assumptions and analyses. As we mentioned earlier, this happened in our own research when committee members began to associate ethnic and class identities with certain social characteristics (e.g., internalized homophobia and lack of HIV/AIDS awareness).…”

Constraints and Opportunities with Interview Transcription: Towards Reflection in Qualitative Research

2005

In this paper we discuss the complexities of interview transcription. While often seen as a behindthe-scenes task, we suggest that transcription is a powerful act of representation. Transcription is practiced in multiple ways, often using naturalism, in which every utterance is captured in as much detail as possible, and/or denaturalism, in which grammar is corrected, interview noise (e.g., stutters, pauses, etc.) is removed and nonstandard accents (i.e., non-majority) are standardized. In this article, we discuss the constraints and opportunities of our transcription decisions and point to an intermediate, reflective step. We suggest that researchers incorporate reflection into their research design by interrogating their transcription decisions and the possible impact these decisions may have on participants and research outcomes.
