Jacqueline Hettel Curriculum Vitae 5518 Coor Hall PO Box 876505 Tempe, AZ 85287-6505 jacqueline.hettel@asu.edu Education Ph.D., English The University of Georgia (2013) Dissertation: Harnessing the Power of Context: A Corpus-Based Analysis of Variation in the Language of the Regulated Nuclear Industry This dissertation addresses the importance of extralinguistic contexts on domain-specific language by leveraging corpus linguistic methodologies and statistics. Using publicly available documents from the regulated nuclear power industry, a representative corpus of over 9 million words was created, and the reproducibility of this methodology was confirmed through analysis of the rejection ratios over four sampling iterations by means of the two proportion z-test. Analysis of 20 key terms from this industry and their collocates was performed to generate lexical profiles for this variety of domain-specific language. The validity of these collocations was measured using Mutual Information scores. Results indicate that while there is some shared meaning with regard to key terms in this variety of domain specific language, documents authored by different industry groups, as well as individuals located in different NRC regions, will exhibit differences with regard to their use and connotation of these high-level key terms. This observation demonstrates that context does matter with regard to domain-specific language in much the same way that has been observed in other language varieties (i.e. speech).

Understand organizational culture, and effectiveness of policy, through analysis of communications both internal and external.
Understanding how people construct ideas around energy (public, policy-makers/regulators, and organizations/corporations) and use that to help understand and develop strategies for effective communications Cultivating Innovation in Humanities Scholarship Investigating how digital and computational professional development initiatives help to change the direction of humanities scholarship and research. Examining how the implementation of best practices and approaches for cultivating innovation developed in Design and Business can be leveraged by humanities centers and assessing their effectiveness in this setting. Text-Based Model Creation and Analysis Developing and evaluating methodologies for creating text-based models. Investigating different ways to use analysis of text-based models in applied settings (organizational effectiveness, facilitating social justice initiatives, improving doctor-patient communications in medicine, better understanding how curricular changes affect student performance in first-year composition, etc.) Developing computationally tractable methods for analyzing variation in language production (e.g. the construction of meaning in different linguistic domains, registers, structures, etc.) and perception that can be transformed into visualizations. Linguistics Designing the new Linguistic Atlas Projects website in such a way that it is sustainable (by using AGILE project management principles, modular approaches to software development and implementation, and low-cost development) and allows for interactive discovery of language data. Designing an online tool for the collection and analysis of the public s perceptions of language that can be used by linguists interested in perceptual dialectology, but more importantly by the general public to become more aware of how their perceptions compare to others in an effort to increase linguistic awareness and appreciation of diversity.

Curricular Innovation UGA First-Year Composition Program Designed rubric for assessing multimodal compositions for FYC program that was adopted into use by program in Fall 2012. UGA ENGL 1101 Designed and implemented a special topics version of English 1101 for the Spring 2011 semester in its entirety--from course readings to essay prompts. The class was a Digital Humanities initiative and focused on the creation of multimodal compositions centered on student analyses of audio recordings from the Linguistic Atlas of the Gulf States (LAGS), which is housed at the University of Georgia. Students began with transcribing and analyzing audio recordings, and they progressed to a large class project: a researched Prezi about stories from LAGS and the issues that were addressed over the course of the semester in response to those perspectives (http://prezi.com/n2_rh8xnuyou/composing-southern/). Teaching Innovation Prepared the new Linguistic Atlas Projects Online website, which allows interactive access to Linguistic Atlas audio and lexical data. This website is being utilized by students in the American English class taught by Allison Burkette at Ole Miss. (2014) Designed and implemented the Directing Your Digital Story website. This is an online course consisting of eight lessons complete with instructional videos that teach students host o create multimodal narratives of experience. This website succeeded in helping to increase the number of multimodal exhibits created for the UGA First-Year Composition eportfolio, which by extension increased awareness and use of the multimodal capabilities within the <emma> Online Composition Portal.
