[v]at is going on? Local and global ideologies about Indian English
ABSTRACTThis article examines local and global language ideologies surrounding a particular phonetic feature in Indian English, the pronunciation of /v/ as [w]. By focusing on how local and global participants – both individuals and institutions – imagine language variation through disparate framings of “neutral” and “standard,” it highlights how processes of globalization and localization are interconnected, dialogic, and symbiotic. Compared are (i) sociolinguistic constructions of Indian cartoon characters, (ii) American “accent training” institutes, (iii) Indian call center and language improvement books, (iv) American speakers’ interpretations of merged IE speech, and, (v) IE speakers’ attitudes about IE, “neutral,” and ”standard” language. The relative social capital of these populations mediates both how each constructs its respective ideology about language variation, and how these ideologies dialogically interact with each other.

A single molecule switch based on two Pd nanocrystals linked by a conjugated dithiol
Tunneling spectroscopy measurements have been carried out on a single
molecule device formed by two Pd nanocrystals (dia, 5 nm) electronically
coupled by a conducting molecule, dimercaptodiphenylacetylene. The I-V data,
obtained by positioning the tip over a nanocrystal electrode, exhibit negative
differential resistance (NDR) on a background M-I-M characteristics. The NDR
feature occurs at 0.67 V at 300 K and shifts to a higher bias of 1.93 V
at 90 K. When the tip is held in the middle region of the device, a coulomb
blockade region is observed (0.3 V).Comment: Accepted in Praman
