Not surprisingly, gadflies in
cyberspace were quick to pounce on the study — or, more
specifically, on the girls and women who are frying their
words. “Are they trying to sound like Kesha or Britney
Spears?”
teased The Huffington Post, naming two pop stars who
employ vocal fry while singing, although the study made no
mention of them. “Very interesteeeaaaaaaaaang,” said
Gawker.com, mocking the lazy, drawn-out affect.
Do not scoff, says
Nassima Abdelli-Beruh, a speech scientist at Long Island
University and an author of the study. “They use this as a
tool to convey something,” she said. “You quickly realize that
for them, it is as a cue.”
Other linguists not involved in the
research also cautioned against forming negative judgments."

Ok, I realize this is a bit of a
reach, but I also had another piece of "primal" information
coming from my filters about how to explain these phenomena
and the cuing...and
scaffolding
occurring.
Before I get into the topic, I want
to first add that the reasons that young girls will always
want to stand out is that there are unconscious archtypal
forces working as an urge to be different and that is to
differentiate themselves from other females, and you can
invent all kinds of reasons for that, I've said enough on that
for now.
Cue
Lately, as you know, I have been
pregnant with a lot of new thoughts and consciously I believe
I have brought this about as a result of design
experimentation with my brain. Luckily I'm experimenting with
something quite simple to understand.
As a result, certain things are
becoming more clear about human
being, doing,
having and becoming behaviors, that are by
"necessity" helping clear the way for me to articulate things
that may be novel, if not naive.<G>
While I suspect this is a
design-induced phase, I'm taking advantage of it, even though
more than likely, it might be the light of a train, versus any
other ...lightenment.
As I'm trying to articulate, while
fashioning ideas for
FLOW and FLOWmaking, it seems to me that
what differentiates and then
integrates, out of ambiguity
is the "art of the cue."
What is a cue?
cued, cu·ing,
or cue·ing
Definition of CUE
transitive verb
1:
to give a cue to :
prompt
2:
to insert into a continuous performance <cue in sound
effects>
First Known Use of
CUE: 1922
In Dynamic Inquiry, we know that
prompting is a very powerful process, and it is a "constraint"
placed in order to make use of an assumption or context, yet
the art of the cue, for me, has become the language which I
can understand what scaffolding emerges from.
Quickly, we know from adult
developmental research and experience, that people do their
best work when supported, some say 1 developmental in advance
of their center of gravity.
What is the operating mechanism?
The cue, or prompt, although in my
view, the cue is bigger than the prompt, so I won't use one to
define the other.
A cue happens when a person
provides a "missing or hidden" piece of memetic taxonomy, or
also known as a connecting algorithm, which allows a person to
connect to and use their capability in the more advanced
level...so if a person had differentiated, but not yet
integrated, the cue provides the missing link. If a person has
fully integrated, but not yet been able to differentiate at
the next level, the cue provides the opening....
There is a lot more to understand
and know, as well as reveal about the art of cueing and the
science represented, but the TPOV is clearly that we can offer
significant experience to people with the art of the cue, and
we need to learn to use it wisely; as with power, comes great
responsibility, as you know, from Spiderman's Uncle.
