Die systematische Beschränkung auf die wesentlichen Strukturen und auf das Grundvokabular der italienischen Geschäftssprache ermöglicht es, in relativ kurzer Zeit auch Anfängern die sprachlichen Voraussetzungen der italienischen Handelskorrespondenz zu vermitteln. Mit einem bewährten Konzept werden die Schüler auf einen Kenntnisstand gebracht, der in der beruflichen Praxis anwendbar ist und eine solide Grundlage für eine spätere, weiterführende Ausbildung darstellt. Dem Fortgeschrittenen und allen, die Italienisch ohne grammatikalische Grundlage gelernt haben, bietet das Buch die Möglichkeit, systematisch oder auch nur punktuell, die italienische Grammatik auf der Grundlage des elementaren Wortschatzes der Handelskorrespondenz zu wiederholen. Das Lehrbuch/Arbeitsheft umfasst drei Teile: Teil 1 enthält die Darstellung der Grammatik, Vokabellisten, Einsetz- und Übersetzungsübungen. Teil 2 bietet tabellarische Übersichten zur Konjugation der unregelmäßigen Verben, zum Verb und seiner Ergänzung sowie zu den gebräuchlichsten Präpositionen und Adverbien und andere praktische Übersichten. Teil 3 besteht aus einem deutsch-italienischen Wörterverzeichnis. Die Form des Arbeitsheftes bietet vor allem lerntechnische Vorteile: Alle Übungen und Aufgaben sollen direkt in das Buch eingetragen und dort auch korrigiert werden. Der Lehrstoff sowie Aufgaben, Lösungen und Korrekturen bleiben beisammen, so dass der Lernprozess zur Wiederholung, zur Prüfungsvorbereitung und auch bei späterer Praxisanwendung immer wieder leicht nachvollzogen werden kann.

Thoreaus Ruhm beruht zum einen auf `Walden`, dem Bericht über das Experiment eines einfachen, naturnahen Lebens, der maßgeblich zur Entwicklung des ökologischen Bewusstseins beigetragen hat zum anderen auf dem Essay `Civil Disobedience`, dessen Titel zum Schlagwort für Bürgerrechtler und Protestbewegungen in aller Welt geworden ist, von Gandhi, Nelson Mandela und Martin Luther King bis zu `Occupy` und `Black Lives Matter`.

····· lezzter Preis 19.50€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray As You Like It ist Shakespeares Variante des Schäferspiels, der Pastorale. Im Wald von Arden erproben die Höflinge das Schäferdasein und wägen Vorzüge und Nachteile des Lebens am Hof und auf dem Lande gegeneinander ab. Vier Paare zeigen mit perspektivisch wechselndem Spiel verschiedene Seiten der Liebe. Der Wald von Arden wird, ähnlich wie der Wald in A Midsummer Night`s Dream oder Prosperos Insel in The Tempest, zum Ort der Visionen, der Selbstfindung und der Verwandlung. Das Spiel mit vorgetäuschter und echter, erwiderter und nicht erwiderter Liebe, mit Wunsch und Erfüllung kennzeichnet grundsätzlich die pastorale Dichtung und prägt in gleichem Maße auch As You Like It. Shakespeares Verhältnis zur Schäferdichtung erweist sich als komplex, das Stück bricht in mancher Weise mit den Konventionen, hinterfragt sie und stellt neue Bezüge dar. Die wortgetreue Übersetzung und die Anmerkungen erschließen das an Wortwitz und Sprachsatire reiche Stück und geben weiterführende Hinweise. Die Einleitung und der Kommentar setzen sich mit den vielfältigen Bezügen dieser Komödie vertieft auseinander - mit dem literarischen und gattungsgeschichtlichen Hintergrund, dem sozialen und historischen Kontext, mit Theatergeschichte und Shakespeares Verarbeitung der literarischen Quelle. ····· 1036156565

Die charismatische Jeanne d`Arc nutzt die Schwächen der englischen Führung entschlossen aus und befreit ihre Heimat von den Besetzern. Shakespeares Darstellung der Johanna von Orléans bricht mit überlieferten Traditionen, denn er schildert die französische Nationalheldin aus englischer Sicht und vor dem Hintergrund der frankreichfeindlichen Stimmung des 16. Jahrhunderts. Mit der bekannten Rosengartenszene nehmen in England die Rosenkriege ihren Anfang. In deren Verlauf werden jegliche Illusionen über die Uneigennützigkeit und über edle Ziele der englischen Mächtigen verloren gehen, eine Entwicklung, die sich im ersten Teil der Trilogie über die Herrschaft Heinrichs VI. andeutet.

Jahrhundert hervorgebracht hat. Sprachmächtig und vielseitig interessiert, zieht er, nachdem er insbesondere in Indien, Persien und Arabien gelebte und Erfahrungen gesammelt hatte, in diesem Gedicht die Summe seines religiösen Denkens. Burton Setzt sich hier mit dem religiösen Denken überhaupt und mit den verschiedenen Weltreligionen im Besonderen auseinander. Die Widersprüche und fragwürdigen Wahrheitsansprüche der Religionen werden aufgezeigt. Das Gedicht ist insofern ein typisches Erzeugnis des 19. Jahrhunderts, als die geistesgeschichtlichen Ergebnisse der Aufklärung verarbeitet sind, mit welchen sich nun die Erkenntnisse der modernen Naturwissenschaft verbinden, was zusammen den überlieferten Religionen und Glaubensformen den Boden zu entziehen scheint. Das Gedicht lehnt alle Religionen ab, sieht aber ihren gemeinsamen Grund und schließt mit der halben Hoffnung, dass die Fundamentalkritik vielleicht doch nicht das letzte Wort sei. ····· 10361207710

Die Titelvignette Ex Bello Pax spielt auf diesen Konflikt an, zeigt sie doch den Helm eines Kriegers, der seine Rüstung im Frieden als Bienenkorb neu nutzbar zu machen weiß - eine Kunst, welche Coriolan gänzlich fehlt. Seine Unfähigkeit, sich den Forderungen des Tages auch im Frieden anzupassen, bringt zunächst Rom und dann ihn selbst in höchste Gefahr. Neben der persönlichen Tragik des Protagonisten steht vor allem der Konflikt zwischen dem Volk und seinen Feldherren/Herrschern im Mittelpunkt des Dramas.

Denn auch wenn einige Lebensjahre und Eckdaten im Verborgenen bleiben, sagt Shakespeares Werk um so mehr über seine Person aus. Sein Spiel um Äquivalente, seine beeindruckende Wortkunst und die stilistische Vielfältigkeit zeugen von einer faszinierenden Komplexität und nicht zuletzt deshalb gilt er noch heute als ein tiefsinniger, abstrakter Virtuose seiner Sprache. Engel führt eindrücklich aus, warum in der internationalen Shakespeare-Forschung die Autorenfrage nicht als legitimes Forschungsthema angesehen wird und der Baconismus als haltloses Unterfangen bezeichnet werden kann.

Achtzig Gedichte dieses Autors werden interpretiert und im Kontext der vier Motivkreise Reise, Tod, Traum, Melancholie dargestellt. Die Entwicklung von Celans Bild- und Gedankenwelt wird im Blick auf jeden der Themenkreise von den frühen Gedichten bis zum Spätwerk untersucht. Fast vierzig Jahre nach der Veröffentlichung der ersten Dissertation, die im Jahr 1959 zur Lyrik Paul Celans von Jean Firges verfaßt wurde, legt der Romanist und Germanist mit diesem Buch nun eine Untersuchung vor, die den Titel tragen könnte: vierzig Jahre Dialog mit den Gedichten Paul Celans. Die Studie setzt sich mit der bis heute erschienenen Fülle an Sekundärliteratur über Celans Werk auseinander. Der Verfasser markiert dabei jedoch auch immer seine persönliche Position in der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion. Im Rahmen exemplarischer Interpretationen werden Gedichte vorgestellt, an deren Beispiel für jeden Bildkreis diachronisch die Entwicklung der Gedankenwelt Celans und seiner poetologischen Konzeptionen nachvollzogen werden kann. Von den Gedichten ausgehend, eröffnen sich überraschende Einblicke in die Biographie und in die Lebenswelt des Dichters.

Mit der zweibändigen Publikation Shakespeare didaktisch wird versucht, der steten Nachfrage aus der Praxis gerecht zu werden. In jedem Band finden sich 15 Beiträge, verfasst von fachwissenschaftlich und -didaktisch anerkannten Autorinnen und Autoren sowohl aus dem Bereich der Schule als auch der Universität. Diese verbinden neuere fachwissenschaftliche Ansätze und Erkenntnisse konsequent mit einem jeweils spezifischen und zeitgemäßen Blick auf die Erfordernisse des Unterrichts.

In certain instances, texts clearly refer to sin, while in other it is more of an ambiguous and obscured notion.

The bilingual (and sometimes trilingual) expressions in their works written in English invite a contrastive analysis of their transition from their source language, Russian, to their target language, English. This book explores the linguistic structure of the autobiographies of four Russian-American writers (Cournos, Nabokov, Berberova and Shteyngart) bringing into focus the linguistic `geology` of their texts, as they record their passage from a Russian world to an English one. These linguistic passages are examined from both a synchronic and a diachronic perspective, by dwelling on the geographies of the émigrés` itineraries as well as on the process of linguistic transformation that such itineraries generated. By analyzing these writers` geographic and linguistic routes, this volume engages the reader in a metalinguistic discourse and highlights the influence of these first plurilingual experiments on modern theories concerning linguistic globalization. ····· 1036194838

First, teachers need to ensure that their students master a core vocabulary of around 2.000 words as the basis for all subsequent lexical development. The book explores the valuable work that has been done over the past century in identifying in a principled way just which words should constitute a basic core. It then shows, in a linguistically consistent way, through a rich selection of topical examples, how the basic core can be differentiated and expanded into related lexical items. And finally, noting that there are many school and university subjects that have to be studied in English, the book provides an advanced common core vocabulary of some 4.000 items which can embrace a wide range of academic, professional and personal interests. ····· 1036156610

His closely-observed Vormärz sketches and novels were also much read and reviewed by his contemporaries but have since been largely overlooked. They are the focus of this study.

Riggs, 2011, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by J. Safran Foer, 2006, and The Dark Room by Rachel Seiffert, 2001) sharing the narration of traumatic historical events. The intermedial dimension realised by the confluence of the two media devices offers new ways to create meaning and to reflect upon the nature of collective and individual trauma, by re-enacting the distortion and the inaccessibility to the memories of those experiences. In this context, the reader emerges as an active participant in the process of fiction-making, as the act of reading becomes a renewed act of witnessing. ····· 1036194802

Kein Wunder also, daß sich Sensationsschriftsteller wie George Lippard auf Brown beriefen. Doch auch Keats, Shelley und Scott zeigten sich beeindruckt von den Schauerromanen des Amerikaners, die neben einigen seiner Essays und Kurzgeschichten im vorliegenden Band vor allem auf ihre erkenntniskrititischen Positionen hin untersucht werden. Somit fällt das Augenmerk zunächst auf David Humes Kausationslehre, welche in zahlreichen Texten Browns ihre fiktionale Umsetzung erfährt. Hierbei ist es insbesondere die epochale, von dem schottischen Philosophen herausgestellte Nicht-Analytizität von Kausalaussagen, die den Charakteren der sich der menschlichen Erkenntnisleistung entziehenden fiktionalen Welten Browns immer wieder zum Verhängnis wird. Werke wie `Wieland or The Transformation` (1798) oder `Edgar Huntly or Memoirs of a Sleep-Walker` (1799) erscheinen in einem neuen Licht. Weit davon entfernt, allein das Unterhaltungsbedürfnis ihrer Leserschaft zu befriedigen, präsentieren sie sich vielmehr als kritische Bestandsaufnahmen des postrevolutionären Aufklärungsoptimismus und stecken demnach in recht offenkundiger Weise eben jenes Feld ab, welches in der amerikanischen Literatur ein halbes Jahrhundert später Autoren wie Melville und Hawthorne zu ihrer Domäne wählen werden.

When synchronic liminal shamans bewitch other characters into becoming liminal initiates, the diachronic liminal characters are separated from their single-reality states and enter a state of uncertainty between a material world and a spiritual reality. At this stage, the diachronic liminal characters are all, like adolescents, unable to function properly in their lives. However, when they re-aggregate into a single-reality state, namely the world of adults , the diachronic liminal characters have developed and become wiser. What the diachronic threshold characters experience as real is debated through the various liminal states Dick s synchronic threshold characters find themselves in. By means of the estranged sf universes of the fictionalising philosopher Philip Dick, the answers to these questions present new interpretations of what is human, what is divine and what is civilized. ····· 1036138

The main argument of the book is that the media, despite being strong advocates of fighting terrorism politically and militarily fail to utilise linguistic devices to create a hegemonic view of al-Qaeda and Taliban terrorists as hardcore criminals out to plunder the country. At the same time the media fail to present the accomplishments of the security forces in defeating terrorists. This has had immensely significant social repercussions in that the Pakistani society has a certain soft corner for terrorists, despite frequent attacks on civillians, and it has failed to view terrorists as a menace. Other than to the observers of language the books will be of special interest to the students and teachers of linguistics and language and particularly researchers of Critical Discourse Analysis in Pakistan.

Eliot and several writers of the nineteen-thirties. Given the influence, novelty and (in the early years of the decade at least) notoriety of Eliot s poetry throughout this period, it is natural to expect his influence to be, in some ways, very direct and observable. The author chooses to single out five poets and one novelist of the period for special and detailed attention. This is due to his belief that Eliot s creative influence on the nineteen-thirties can be best demonstrated in all its complexity by reference to a number of specific writers. In other words, the connections between Eliot and these six writers typifies the nature of Eliot s influence on the decade as a whole. This influence moves from virtual plagiarism in Ronald Bottrall s case to a smart but derivative stylishness in the works of Auden and Spender and finally through to a more intelligent and indirect debt in the case of William Empson and Evelyn Waugh. ····· 103613778

Divided into several parts, this paper, after showing the conflicts raised following the imposition of the colonial or patriarchal rules, describes the process of turning back to the innocence or or the pre-colonial state and finally elaborates how, when the conflicts are unresolved, the problems become permanent which could emphasize the ongoing colonizer-colonized relationship as complex and distressing. ····· 1036119348

Moreover, an attempt was made to reveal the participants` learning behaviors and strategies when using the program. From two groups involved in the study, the experimental group received treatment, whereas the control group received placebo. The study comprised both quantitative(pre and post tests, attitudinal questionnaire) and qualitative(semi-structured interview) data collection instruments. The findings of the study indicated that the application of Voki might be an appropriate method for improving EFL learners` speaking skills. Furthermore, the results confirmed that the learners had positive attitude towards the program, as it provided a learning environment that was fun, enjoyable, stress free and effective for improving their speaking skills.

The purpose of this research study, therefore, was threefold: primarily, to investigate the impact of digital storytelling on EFL learners` speaking skills, secondly, to reveal learners` attitude towards implementing the program, and thirdly, to report students` learning behaviors when using the program. Accordingly, this quasi-experimental study revealed the effect of a 7-week`s instructional treatment on speaking skills carried out in experimental group. A traditional method of storytelling was employed in the control group. The instrumentations used for data collection constituted pre and post tests, an attitudinal questionnaire, and a semi-structured interview, which served to collect qualitative and quantitative data, respectively. The results of statistical analysis displayed that there was a trend towards significant gains in the learners` oral production after the treatment.

As a result, nearly five decades, English, the LOI in secondary schools and high education, has been a scapegoat of many secondary school students academic failure. The book shows clearly that English Language Proficiency (ELP) predicts future academic success of students. However, the influence is not as great as the proponents of Kiswahili exaggerate it to be this is to say, it is the non-ELP factors that affect performance greatly. The author therefore, concludes that the use of O- level and A-level secondary school results alone, as it is done in Tanzania and elsewhere, to predict one s capacity for secondary and higher education respectively is not enough since academic performance is an interplay of a number of factors. The book is invaluable for language teachers, teachers in training, University students,language policy makers and curriculum developers. ····· 1036120366

This study examines how those discrepancies could be reduced specifically by looking at how language-in-education policy translates into observable classroom practices (i.e teaching, learning and assessment). The focus is on Rwanda s higher education as a context par excellence where the dual-medium language of instruction policy (i.e teaching and learning in both English and French ) was implemented from 1996 to 2008. On the whole, it was found out that the provisions of the policy are reflected differently in classroom practices. This is mainly due to the fact that not every student is able to conduct a natural conversation in either English or French (or both). To cover the gaps between the language policy and everyday practices it is suggested that a language-in-education policy, and not just statements, be elaborated to guide teachers in an effective implementation of bilingualism/multilingualism. This entails that in language planning, language should be looked at as a resource and not a problem. ····· 1036120606

Smith s literary works are greatly influenced by her life. Though she did not call herself a feminist or like to be labeled so, her masculine name, her body shape and above all her viewpoints on women s issues, reflected in her work, strongly link her to the feminist circle. Key concepts of the body and gender provide a lens by which Smith s poems are minutely scrutinized hence, a deeper analysis of her poems focuses on the formative influence of the body in the reconstruction of gender through the subversion of social agencies traditional role, especially marriage. Her poems show how the longstanding traditions of the androcentric society form/deform the female body. Her fairytale poems create a world of fantasy where the body is transformed not only to escape stereotypical gendered roles but to claim each other s role. The paper reaches the conclusion that the stereotypical gendered role of woman can be reconstructed through a true representation of her body, which is best reflected in Smith s poems. ····· 1036121068

These novels are: Burger`s Daughter (1979), July`s People (1981), A Sport of Nature (1987), My Son`s Story (1990) and None to Accompany Me (1994). On the one hand, place is depicted as a setting of action in the sense that it anticipates the development of the relationship between the racial couples. On the other hand, it may be only an illustrative background of the success or failure of the relationship. Place, in other words,is representative of racial integration or disintegration. Furthermore, the book will examine the possibility of reading Gordimer as a post-colonial writer through her portrayal of the opposition the Self/the Other. It will show Gordimer s contradictory position in presenting a stereotypical image of the Other which undermines her ability to free herself from the prejudices of her race. Gordimer s inability to deny her identity as a white writer and to overcome barriers of racial difference becomes clear. Thus we find embedded in the sub-text of the novels many myths about the Other. ····· 1036121604

The key theoretical concepts running through this work are those of misrepresentation and semiotics, both interconnected to each another and underline the fact that production of meaning is indeed a complex and an unconscious process. The tools of analysis employed in this investigation are primarily those of semiotic analysis and Critical theories to investigate into the apparent and hidden messages in the images.

To this end, the grammaticality judgment (GJ) test developed by Gass (1994) was selected as the instrument of the study which was manipulated in terms of the response format while the original items remained intact. Thus, a multiple-choice GJ test (MCGJT) was constructed to be compared with the traditional form, i.e., the dichotomous type (DGJT). In an interval of a month, the two tests were administered to a group of 110 engineering-major BS students. The results revealed that MCGJT was slightly more reliable (0.84 Cronbach s alpha) than the DGJT (0.83 Cronbach s alpha). With regard to validity, DGJT yielded slightly better validity indices in the first phase.

In the same vein, CLT was introduced in Bangladesh in 2001 from class vi to class xii with the aim of making the learners communicatively competent. In Bangladesh the traditional Grammar Translation Method had been in vogue for ages. But, when CLT was introduced in Bangladesh, the teachers came across a lot of problems in the way of its implementation. Here teachers are seen to have both right and wrong perceptions about CLT. Quite interestingly, though the wrong perceptions have a negative impact on their classroom practice, the right ones do not positively contribute to their execution of CLT. This book, therefore, looks into the practicing English teachers perceptions about CLT and the extent of their classroom practice of CLT. While doing it, the writer discovers mismatches between theory and practices and investigates why the mismatches between theory and practices happen. The writer also compares the Bangladeshi CLT scenario with other EFL contexts. ····· 1036125888

I contend that the importance Lovecraft attaches to the unknown in this critical essay on horror fiction or weird fiction, as Lovecraft termed it is reflected in his own works, as well. This thesis shows that the unknown actually forms the core of a narrative technique which we can identify in most of Lovecraft s works. Through close readings of three of his most famous texts, The Call of Cthulhu , The Shadow over Innsmouth and The Case of Charles Dexter Ward , this thesis analyzes the central role that unknowns play in them. It highlights how unknowns are created, maintained and resolved in the course of the narrative. The analyses also show how these unknowns affect the narrative flow and how the reader is affected by their presence.

Transfer of the knowledge present in the learners` schemata to a second/foreign language is of fundamental importance for their academic success. This study reflects on the transfer of skills and learning strategies, specifically reading and writing, in the Turkish EFL classroom. The findings of the study revealed that Turkish EFL learners at the specific Turkish secondary school are aware of their cognitive strategies and skills in L1 while they are unaware of their ability to transfer them to EFL. More specifically, the learners are particularly unable to transfer their reading skills, whereas the transfer of their writing skills is adequate. The study provided some low scale inferences for the teaching profession. Reading and writing skills are transferable in the Turkish EFL classroom provided that the learners retain certain cognitive skills if they are triggered off accordingly.

Readers became conditioned to respond to the patterns. But in the 20th century a new context of thought started to bring the reader s experience. Other than just reading a poem for recreation a reader had to search for the exact point (meaning) of his reading. Free verse emerged poets have more emphasis on the implicit understanding of a poem. They found that, there is a soul in the sound body of poetry that makes a poem alive, a living thing .

By revisiting some typical examples among the 14 postulated additional senses of over, it is revealed that it exhibits three flaws:(1) a misleading premise, which regards meanings that come about on the basis of the preposition over and other words as the basic meaning of over (2) assuming still redundant and erroneous polysemy for over (3) frequent mismatched examples. This study suggests a minimal polysemy approach and reveals the significance of tracing back to the nature of prepositional meanings in probing into prepositional polysemy. ····· 1036192229

The lexical multi-word unit of idiom is thus discussed at every level of linguistic analysis and is presented as an entity of its own lexical integrity that forms the core of the phraseological system of the English language. Given the pressing need for a clear and concrete delimitation of idiom as a linguistic term that will be used profitably as a working definition for further research into a wide range of issues in relation to the area of second language idiom acquisition in EFL and ESL educational contexts, it is hoped that the present study will function as a reference point capturing several angles of the topic. ····· 1036192583

According to previous research, one area which has not been properly studied is a comparison between groups receiving feedback and a no feedback group. Therefore, to fill this gap in research, the author investigated the effect of feedback on grammatical accuracy by comparing three types of feedback: errors coded, errors underlined, and no grammar feedback. Data analysis revealed no significant differences in the improvement of grammatical accuracy in the two treatment groups. It was however found that both treatment groups outperformed the no-feedback group in editing verb and noun-related errors. However, the control group outperformedthe two other groups in correcting their article-related errors. The author concluded that even if students do not receive grammar feedback, their writing improves because of the rewriting process itself. ····· 1036199013

These characters are victims of either traditions or systems or psychological, maladies.

The colonizers generated a Eurocentric ideology by projecting the Europeans as superior and the self belonging to the centre or Occident, whereas the colonized people (of which they are a part) are shown as inferior and the other belonging to the margin or Orient. The psychological domination that took place during the period of colonization persists even today. However, many postcolonial writers have successfully reshaped and redefined the constructed image of self and other by distorting the stereotypical images of colonized people, their cultures and languages in literature. Thus, they have taken the narratives to another level by giving voice to the other and by presenting their own colonial history and the consequences of colonization to match their own purposes. This thesis intends to look at the discourse of otherness, from colonial representations to postcolonial realities of other people and languages. ····· 10361100299

Although Shakespeare s comedies are, as a whole, different from those of his contemporaries and classical playwrights, they do not follow a certain pattern. Shakespeare sometimes chooses the tradition and conventions of classical comedy and manipulates them in his own way, but very often he neglects the traditional conventions and writes a different kind of comedy. Shakespeare s comedies are in many ways different from those of Jonson and other followers of classical comedy. His comedies are not satirical and they don t arouse hearty laughter. The characters in his comedies make us smile, but they do not evoke cruel laughter.

Even so, there is one special branch of the Indian diasporic Bunyan tree which has made unique contribution to the world, the world of Literature. The reason for the writers of the Diaspora writing about India can be attributed to dictum that you can take the man out of his homeland but you can t get the homeland out from the person. A person might go far away from India but cannot get over the reminiscences, the memories and the feelings attached to the homeland because these would always be with him/her. The country of a person s origin, the native land, always has an attraction and since distances make the heart grow fonder, as the saying goes, writers of the Indian Diaspora are persuaded to write about it.

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray A MUST READ for those who desire to delve into Oscar Wilde! This book boasts an insight into Wilde s literary and sexual stature by explicating his aesthetic notions. Oscar Wilde, a controversial figure in the Victorian period, brought a welter of criticism associated with his literary works and sexual orientation. However, aestheticism, literary criticism, and sexual studies seem to separate Wilde into distinctive entities, in which his hedonism, genius, and sexual deviation are discussed in seeming but incoherent continuum. Through the approach of cultural study, in which both language and meanings are contextualized in the Victorian setting, this thesis re-places Wilde back into his contemporary society and presents his significance as a whole. Queer as it might seem, this thesis reunites Wilde with his literary and bodily representation, and in this scenario, art for art s sake is rendered a social meaning which approximates collateral involvement if not proactive. Liberal and rebellious, Wilde s aesthetics becomes socially implicated, and therefore his being rejected by his contemporaries is further understood nowadays as his challenge for spiritual and corporeal freedom. ····· 10361118239

However, the archetypes in myths have helped to oppress women in their personal and social lives and have forced them to accept identities which actually are not theirs. Feminist archetypal theorists propose that through a detailed study of common images of women s writings, fantasies and dreams, the archetypes women possess can be uncovered and the female experience can have the chance to be voiced more accurately. The aim of this study is to explore Surfacing and The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood and Indigo and The Leto Bundle by Marina Warner to lay bare the attempts of both writers to break away from the male-oriented myths so as to rewrite female experience via rewriting myths. In four novels, the archetypes and mythical elements are used in rewriting the gender and sexual identity markers which have long been imposed on women by patriarchal mythmakers. By rewriting these markers, both writers not only voice the genuine female experience and the body but also pave the way for the creation of new myths which would celebrate female identity and freedom. ····· 10361132091

It is the question of how to learn it that becomes a key issue to examine. Concern is placed on how grammar instructions can nurture and develop students` grammar interlanguage system. A wave of research ranging from intensive treatment toward specific linguistic features to focus on form in interactions is put forth. Apart from the insightful research on grammar, some teachers still have a propensity to rely on language input through the adoption of meaning-oriented tasks. A common view held by teachers is that an abundant exposure to language use would warrant the development of students` grammar. The communicativeness of the tasks is believed to enable the grammar learning to take care of itself. While the view, to a large degree, is justified, it might not be sufficient for the whole processing of the intricate development of L2 grammar learning to occur. Accordingly, Swain (1994) sheds light on roles of output as potential learning mechanisms to facilitate the process.

Hardy and James are often maligned by a feminist reader for portrayal of women who are either made to go behind the walls or punished for their refusal to submit to the patriarchal order of the society. The female protagonists, of the novels under discussion, Tess and Claire de Bellegarde confront with the issues of class consciousness, domesticity, marriage, as well as sexuality.

Paul return to narrator-protagonist Lucy Snowe or is he killed in a storm raging on the Atlantic Taking its famous ending as a starting point, this study explores Villette as a text in which ambiguity is all-pervasive in various ways. Among these is the narrator`s ambivalent attitude toward herself and others, epitomised in her stylistic idiosyncrasies. The links between ambiguity and doubt are explored through an analysis of Lucy`s signature phrase, `I know not,` expressive of her existential doubts and questioning attitude toward the world. The analysis moreover focuses on the motif of the oracle as a traditionally ambiguous utterance, and explores its relevance in the context of the generic tradition of Villette as a fictional autobiography. Another focus is the interplay of figurative and literal levels of meaning in the allegorical episodes, creating ambiguity. ····· 1036194761

For instance, what was he doing or where was he travelling during certain unchronicled years Why do we hear so little in modern books of that beloved brother Anthony, who was his comfort, and his second self And where was Anthony when he died Where was he buried And why are no particulars of his eventful life, his last illness, death, or burial recorded in ordinary books Francis Bacon (1561 1626): philosopher, playwright, poet, and conceiver of the scientific method for empirical inquiry. The staggering amount of publications in which he was involved and his demand for a worldwide reformation of learning, science, and religion have made him one of the most important minds of the Elizabethan era. As much as Bacon s public life influenced the world of science, there is an equal part of his life obscured by his secrecy. This book sets out to delve into these secrets in order to uncover the full extent of Bacon s work. His self-devised secret cipher, his apparent connections to the Rosicrucians and Freemasons, and the frequent gaps in his biography are thoroughly examined, making this a valuable addition to any Baconian collection. ····· 1036174714

It can at times, however, be difficult for the practicing teacher to discover how the more theoretical considerations can become more practical. That is, how can these considerations be implemented in the classroom. At other times, it is difficult to know what exactly the theory is behind the practice being carried out in the classroom. However, as teachers become more experienced, they often discover that practice and theory can inform one another in order to ensure that the teaching is as effective and efficient as possible. This thesis is written in an attempt to demonstrate practical applications of more theoretical work, in the field of ELTL, and to clarify the theories behind the more practical elements of ELTL. It is divided into three main fields: The three fields described and explained are social constructivism, corpus linguistics, and action research. These three disciplines, or methodologies, have aroused a great dealt of interest over the past twenty years in the theory and practice of ELTL. All three are brought together, in this work, to describe an empirical pedagogic action research project conducted at Hildesheim University, in an English for Academic Purposes course, and, more specifically, for the teaching and learning of English Academic Writing (EAW). The EAW course was specifically designed for English as a Foreign Language students who are training to be state school English teachers. It incorporates elements of social constructivism, corpus linguistics, and was investigated using Pedagogical Action Research. It demonstrates that probably the best place to conduct educational research is in the classroom. ····· 10361107896

In this book theoretical issues within ethics are discussed based on the examples of literary analyses. The authors examined are Margaret Atwood, Jeffrey Eugenides, and Robert M. Pirsig. The main questions concern the foundation on which ethical concepts are based, and the way in which such concepts function. These topics are evidently connected to matters of human concepts and human nature in general, which are understood to be fundamentally communicative. Contrary to popular conclusions of relativity, the need for a realist foundation of ethics implying universal validity will be revealed. It is not only possible, but also necessary to develop such an idea of ethics within a postmodern relativist framework. A communicative foundationalist ethics will thus be designed. With regard to literature an increasing emergence of first-person narrative can be witnessed in addition to a new focus on a realist and more mimetic style after a peak of pluralist conceptions at the end of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first centuries. The analysis of such narrative situations will reveal the significance of the narrative generation of individual personalities for an understanding of ethical questions. The conflict between relativist and realist points of view centers on the postmodern critique of the individual. The study of the literary generation of individuals will elucidate means of confronting this critique. The theoretical background includes the poststructuralist and communicative concepts of Judith Butler and Seyla Benhabib as well as Ernst Tugendhat s analytical approach. Nina von Dahlern studied English language and literature, philosophy, sociology, and educational sciences at the Universities of Hamburg and Heidelberg.

However, incidental reactive and preemptive FonF in general and their linguistic coverage in particular have not enjoyed this much attention. This book explores the frequency of reactive and preemptive incidental FonF, their linguistic coverage, and uptake in a communicatively-oriented EFL Talk Show class, where the primary attention is on negotiation of ideas and meaningful interactions. The book attempts to expand our accounts of FonF by addressing the relationship between preemptive as well as reactive Focus on Form Episodes in terms of their linguistic coverage of vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation in an Iranian Talk Show class. It also examines the correspondence between the linguistic coverage of reactive and preemptive FFEs and the rate of uptake following them.

Information about entities, time, space, and actions has to be carefully tracked and managed from one utterance to the next. This is achieved through a process known as anaphoric linking or reference tracking. The importance of this phenomenon is crucial in listening classes as listening is among those demanding skills in which EFL learners have to cope with vast ranges of linguistic, paralinguistic and even pragmalinguistic features. In this regard, this book describes an innovative approach to teaching listening comprehension through employing typographically highlighted texts followed up by classroom interactions. This is termed as Interactive Input Enhancement, an instructional treatment in which the teacher pushes L2 learners to notice input and/or produce output and provides them with interactional modifications in order to lead them to notice a mismatch between their interlanguage forms and the target language forms. This book will be very useful for language teachers who are looking for novel ideas on demystifying listening comprehension for their learners. ····· 10361126

The use of such textual resources has been extensively examined in a variety of written and spoken genres. Along the same line of enquiry, a more recent approach in applied linguistics in general and discourse analysis in particular has been to investigate the distribution of meta-textual devices in academic writings, with little attention paid to such resources in literary writing.

Eliot (20th century) shows how English language has developed through highlighting the major similarities and differences (the syntactic features) between the two forms of the language. It seeks mainly to investigate sentence and phrase structures in terms of types, functional constituent (structural aspects) , position , realization or form, as well as the stylistic variants : word order ( fronting , postponement , discontinuity or broken order), pleonasm, ellipsis, passivization and negation. The conclusion that can be drawn from the comparative analysis is that both forms of English, i.e., Chaucer s language and Eliot s language are often similar and sometimes different. One significant finding is that the stylistic variants utilized by both poets refer to the fact that their forms of language are similar to the spoken language and their syntax is flexible as they permit themselves considerable freedom in word order for different purposes. ····· 1036125234

While conveying this vision of modern life to the readers, it does not fail to point out how Stoppard transcends the sense of the comic by exploring some of the most difficult, abstruse and sophisticated ideas clothed in modern philosophy and metaphysics and thereby proves that his plays are among the most profoundly intellectual of dramas written in the twentieth century context. The book is different from other studies that are available on Stoppard because it contributes to the better understanding and appreciation of Stoppard s plays by indicating the relevance of Stoppard to modern readers. ····· 1036187389

The Bologna Declaration on the European space for Higher Education encourages a system of comparable degrees, in order to promote employability and international competitiveness at a European level. English instructors are thereby required to work toward the establishment of specific and uniform criteria, conditions and procedures that enable students to obtain the common required level of proficiency. To this aim, the European Council published a manual, aimed to establish the standardisation of levels and approaches to language teaching. In order to calibrate the students levels of proficiency, and to approach teaching from a similar perspective, all forty-seven member states were invited to use the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), based on the Communicative Approach. A thorough study of this renowned method is included in the present study, in order to identify the core issues and the theoretical implications it may present for the implementation of the CEFR document. ····· 1036189135

The self-made English identity is thus reshaped, where historico-political reading on the expansion of the Ottoman Empire, challenges this stability. This book puts forth the connection of the Battle of Lepanto to Iago`s envy in shaping the seventeenth-century English identity where early forms of ethnocentrism teeters on the edges when we realise that Shakespeare might not even portray a picture of the Other in Othello , but of the regression of the English in the double dealings of Iago.

This fact highlights the importance of listening in our lives and signifies its intricacy and complexities involved in learning it when it comes to mastering listening as a skill in a foreign or second language. There is no shortage of books, monographs and documents on the value of listening and how it can be developed and consolidated by L2 learners, and indeed, the difficulty learners may face in this regard seem to be concerned with the multiplicity rather than paucity of view points on how their listening problem may be tackled. Although advice coming from experts and experienced scholars in this area is embraced too eagerly by the clients, the problem of how listening problems can be sorted out will persist unless solutions provided by teachers and counselors have theoretical-research bases and been empirically tested. It is the aim of this research-oriented book to fill the existing gap by offering empirical advice on how a small portion of learner listener problems may be alleviated by applying certain grammar-based advice.

In order to free their children from the clutches of the demon slavery slave mothers showed a negative attitude towards motherhood some of them even killed their own children. This indicates a duality of selves in them resulting in ambiguity regarding their motherhood. Sethe in Beloved and Florens mother in A Mercy are such slave mothers projecting this ambivalent nature. They act as protectors and at the same time as destroyers. In both ways, we see resistance on the part of the mothers towards their masters. They act against the institution through their denial of black lives although standing on an ambiguous position as mothers. However, this aspect is to be observed in the context of the ante- bellum era, dominated by the inhuman system of slavery which indeed is to be blamed for such a negative turn in the black mothers. ····· 1036192647
für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The book holds that OT satisfies the requirement that any serious theory of phonology must rely on well-formedness constraints, which means it must be committed to universal grammar. This way, what marks individual or core grammar from the universal is the order in which these constraints apply. By implication,a language specific grammar therefore is but a means of resolving conflicting universal constraints. The book has also shown how the constraint ordering in SBE is re-ordered in NE, arguing that the different constraint ordering notwithstanding, these constraints are the same, and are present in each of these varieties of English. As it were, resolving these often conflicting universal constraints through ranking to scan violablility and preferences distinguishes one variety or dialect from another. This knowledge, especially the markedness between stress assignment in SBE and NE using this comparative constraint ordering approach could lead to improved teaching, learning and overall better usage of English in Nigeria if the pedagogical training is made to concentrate on the markedness instead. ····· 1036198304

This study offers a comprehensive method for the integration of form and content in Yeats which has not been available up to this time. A revealing 1937 statement asserts Yeats s commitment to a clear-cut correspondence between language and subject matter I need a passionate syntax for passionate subject matter. This statement has been mobilized to lay the ground for a reading of key poems that is geared toward showing how Yeats s later exploitation of spatio-temporal language and his complex syntactic patterns can enact a microcosm of his gyre-oriented concept of quest. The basic aim is to investigate the ways by which syntactic concepts like deletion, parallelism, nominalization, subordination and coordination are paradigmatically used to reinforce the quest theme. Two main classifications of iconic syntax are advanced: winding syntax where the word-order is distorted by multiple coordination of subordinate clauses and straight syntax where sentences are linear and stripped of complexity and subordination. ····· 1036198618

Many undergraduates hardly have any experience of scanning an encyclopaedia. Most learners do not seem to have acquired these skills even in their mother tongue.

The crosscultural analysis of the texts Morrison s The Bluest Eye and Sidhwa s Water provides an opportunity to discover the differences and similarities regarding identity formation and self-objectification of women and its impact on women in the Afro-American and Indian cultures. Objectification theory assumes that women generally style the image of their physical selves in light of the observers perspective which is conveyed to them through their gazes. This leads to certain undesirable behavioral patterns such as anxiety, depression, excessive body monitoring and sense of shame. Lacanian psychoanalytic approach is also applied on female characters of the two novels with special focus on the concepts of the Mirror Stage, the Lack and the Other.

All through his fiction runs an earnest quest for purpose and meaning. A prolific writer of novels--romantic, satirical and catholic-- journals and reviews, he is regarded as a master of style. His works are varied and offer glimpses of a keen, searching mind behind the comic facade. Along with Graham Greene, he strove to revive Catholic fiction.

This paper is an attempt to further strengthen the idea that Pakistani English (PE) is a different variety of English on the basis of differences in pronunciation making an acoustic analysis of the four front vowels i.e. /i:/, /I/, /e/ and /æ/. The subjects were selected from among the graduate students of University of Sargodha, who were fluent in speaking English with Punjabi as their L1. 30 male and 30 female speakers were recorded, using minimal pairs. Formant values of the vowels (F1 and F2) were measured using Praat. These formant values were compared with the formant values of the vowels of Received Pronunciation (RP) and American English (AmE). On the basis of differences in formant values of vowels, the conclusions were drawn that PE is a different variety, ascertaining the previous studies on PE. ····· 1036121567

As a teacher, what we know and what we do in the classroom should have significant influence on the thoughts, achievement and behaviors of the students. Teachers can teach learners, for instance, certain strategies to use their intellectual strengths in support of their learning. In this respect, the results can be used to make recommendations that may serve to make educators, teachers, trainers, and instructional designers aware of ways to modify instruction and offer a variety of opportunities for both instructors and learners in the classroom. I hope that the results of this study may lead teachers to provide opportunities for each individual to develop a consciousness of how their mind works and therefore teach towards the learning needs of all students in the classroom. This will help them to see that everyone has areas of strength and areas of challenge, and that it is worthwhile to celebrate their success and failure as a community of accomplished learners. ····· 10361189
für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This work seeks to explore the dystopia and inversion of the Romantic ideals as seen in the works of Ann Radcliffe and Edgar Allan Poe. The works of these writers demonstrate a strain of writing opposed to the Romantic stream, as the macabre and dark supernatural world usurps the beautiful and idyllic Romantic world, where the writer is the poet-prophet, who worships nature through his works. The splendour of the world bathed in celestial light is replaced by a world where a sense of terrible foreboding and doom predominates. The fearful aesthetic of Radcliffe and Poe depicts a labyrinthine world where attempts to achieve self-realization are thwarted. The Romantics exalted the poet as a gifted creature who could discover the meaning of life through work that focused on nature and the way it shaped the psychology and emotions of the individual. The Gothic artists explored the fatalistic side of life when even the narrator became an unreliable one as he failed to understand the phenomenon that confronted him. This work would be a valuable asset for readers exploring the Gothic and its inherent contradictions. ····· 103613165

The stimulus for this research study is to create harmony between English and Punjabi native speakers by having awareness of differences in the cultural conventions in making requests. It is evident from the results & findings of this study that in spite of the fact that there is great difference in the execution of request statements from the people of both cultural groups yet they are identical in their pragmatic perception or sensitivity of politeness in the speech act of request. Moreover, the stereotypes of less polite or unfriendly attitude of Punjabi ESLs in cross-cultural communication more especially in the speech act of request, is originated by the socio-cultural conventions of English society, lack of pragmatic competence of English language of Punjabi ESLs and excellence of linguistic competence of English L1s. ····· 1036120416

In the postmodern city, as a result of the intricate interplay of power, capitalism, class struggle and the mass media, the phenomenon of mass consumption is transformed into a culture of consumption or the ideology of comsumerism. J. D. Salinger s The Catcher in the Rye is best read in such a context: the metropolis of New York in the tumultuous 1950s. The protagonist, Holden Caulfield, following his archetypal model, Ulysses, undertakes a journey of initiation in the heart of the city in order to become aware of the ambiguity of modern life and his own identity. Like many other novelistic heroes, Holden can be regarded as an incarnation of the character of the flâneur: a slow stroller of the streets and arcades who tried to read the cityscapes like a text and aimed at restoring legibility and clarity to them. But Holden, encountering the hyperreality of the metropolis, soon finds this goal unachievable and takes refuge in a more Existentialist thinking. ····· 1036124752

Text organization and discourse persuasion are essential concepts in academic contexts where the writers have to consider the academic audiences and their educational needs. So, Interactive metadiscourse signals, which refer to text organization markers, provide useful information about how writers support their arguments, and interactional metadiscourse signals which build up a relationship with readers in different contexts are crucial components in textbooks. This study explored the use of Interactive and Interactional metadiscourse signals across four disciplines: Applied Linguistics, Sociology, Computer Science, and Economics in textbook chapter introductions.The analysis of this study showed that the distribution of Interactive metadiscourse signals was higher than Interactional metadiscourse signals in textbook chapter introductions.

What one perceives around oneself is Militarism , Peace Operation , War on Terror , Mutually-assured Destruction (righteously abbreviated as MAD) war in its old garb has become non-functional and is replaced by this totalitarian form of war. War against Terror in Afghanistan, wherein the dystopic permeation of virtual war is amply manifest, is the most potent example of virtual war where the discursive practices have codified war-reality into language that serves the specific, pre-defined political purposes making the actual conflict and the turmoil of war irrelevant and insignificant. The main objective of this book is analyzing the ontological meaning of virtual reality, and observing how vested irreality is used at verbal, visual and literary plane to create a strong political and massively acceptable rhetoric for war. In this endeavor, the nature of virtual reality is analysed in detail in the first chapter and in the following three chapters the attempt is to de-code the co-relational impact of virtual reality on the politically constructed grand narratives, the fictional records of War against Terror and the interactive visual narrative. ····· 1036191761

The sort of oppression the narrators/protagonists Fevvers and Dora Chance as well as the other female characters undergo in both novels turn out to be intrinsically related to the ideological and formal constraints traditionally imposed on genres by patriarchy. These are precisely the norms and regulations Angela Carter sets out to unveil, question and undermine so as to pave the way for new alternatives as well as different future possibilities for men and women alike. The main contribution of this book lies in its attempt to relate genre, gender and social change in order to nourish further research on the political power underlying postmodern female rewriting or reinvention and blurring of genres. ····· 1036199655

Schemata in general and content schema in particular play a crucial role in these three processes on one hand. On the other, prospering interpretation is closely tied to common schemata between the writer and the translator. Consequently, translation process can be considered as a process of schemata transformation. It is the translator s as the reader of the source text schemata, which help her/him filling the existing gaps in a text. Viewing the translator as the reader of the source text would bring reading comprehension into focus, especially when dealing with novice translators and translator trainees. This book therefore tries to shed light on the integration of three effective factors in language learning with translation. To this end, the inter-connectivity among content schema, vocabulary size as a slight part of formal schema, and reading comprehension is identified.

In this work we are primarily concerned with the type, amount, clarity, exhaustiveness, findability and efficiency of grammatical information in pedagogical dictionaries. Among many improvements which await introduction in such dictionaries, there is one that could be reflected in the design of the publication, thus more successfully guiding EFL learners in their use of new lexical items, according to their grammatical properties. The solution we attempt to advocate is a reference work for advanced learners of English as a foreign language that can comprise two main functions, that is the provision of the lexical items and all their properties traditionally included in the microstructure of a dictionary together with a grammar book that would be referred to by cross-references specified for many troublesome grammatical areas, particularly those whose origin might be contributed to the interference from the mother tongue. ····· 10361147326

It particularly addresses a range of issues such as: the position of stress, the basis on which stress is located, the factors on the basis of which stress location is effected, the importance of the perceptual and the instrumental tests in shedding light on stress assignment, and the extent to which the optimality theoretic analysis confirm or disconfirm the results of the perceptual and the instrumental tests concerning stress placement. This book will be of interest to linguistics, teachers, researchers and to anyone interested in language study and phonological theory. ····· 103613463

As a result we still know little about the characteristics of such vocabulary and how best to acquire it. This book addresses some of those issues through a corpus study of a semester s reading material for a graduate-level theology course at a theological seminary in the United States, and a case study with graduate, first and second language (L1 and L2) students studying theology. The corpus study examines the amount and frequency of technical vocabulary in theology textbooks in order to examine the extent to which these texts provide the lexical input necessary to aid in incidental learning of technical vocabulary in the mainstream classroom over the course of a semester by L2 students. The small case study compares how well L1 and L2 students were able to acquire technical vocabulary after reading assigned texts and listening to a lecture for one class. The results and implications should be of particular interest to vocabulary acquisition researchers and teachers of EAP. ····· 103613541

It is no accident, therefore, that the translation of the Qur`an was, and still has been, a problematic area that has incessantly raised a great fuss over how to bring a proper or even appropriate translation of it. Taking such axioms into account, as the writer of the present translational work, I have tried to bring translators as well as scholars of religious texts in general and the Quranic text in particular into real and practical problems of rendering such a sublime text. ····· 103613681

Then, there has been a shift in Marlowe criticism, this is not primarily due to a deliberate attempt to represent or misrepresent the playwright, but is rather, in some cases, a result of the critics`, scholars`, and researchers` self-identification with the playwright which produces relevant meanings. Interpreting Marlowe`s plays, accordingly, is closely linked to a set of beliefs, tenets, or ideological attitudes which the critic holds, and this makes the authorial voice of the text (words and their meanings) barely audible against the authority of the reader with their attendant perceptions and attitudes. Indeed, in Marlowe criticism, it is not always the text, or its context, which validates or invalidates one understanding or another. It has to do, as well, with the critic`s social, political, and economic position, as well as the place and time in which the literature is approached. ····· 1036118295

Women writers have, over the last two hundred years, been claiming a space and a voice for themselves in the literary field, and feminist literary critics have been re-examining literary works, whether canonical or not, to indicate ways in which gender constructs and gender stereotypes have been reinforced or challenged through literature. This book stems from a strong conviction that there is need for feminist literary criticism that is specifically relevant to the Indian situation. Shashi Deshpande and Mahasweta Devi were deliberately chosen for analysis: they represent opposite ends of the spectrum in their political engagement, the cultural moorings of their work, the location of their narratives and the levels of consciousness they awaken in their readers. Through this analysis, the author indicates that such literary works serve to heighten awareness and articulate a protest, to present an alternative view of life, to spur the reader on to active engagement with social structures. ····· 1036118339

This part of the United States underwent a transforming process of social change during Faulkner s life, and Faulkner monitored closely the disruptive consequences of the transformation of his region from a rural place, dominated by an agricultural economy to a new South, with a more diversified economy. He also observed the repercussions of this transformation in the form of social conflicts and contradictions. This study reads the Yoknapatawpha novels as Faulkner s literary response to the disruptive processes of social change and their consequences. It examines the influence of Faulkner`s creative engagement with social change, especially the way the narrative and thematic structures of his Yoknapatawpha novels are shaped by the force of change in the areas of economy, gender, and race. ····· 1036119678

Romantic writing, for the purposes of this volume, is defined to include poetry, prose (essays of various kinds and informal writings such as letters), that was being written at the same time. The best known poets who wrote during the period were Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats, but this book also provides a generous selection of poets, including the major poets whose work is now arousing considerable interest. The concise presentation of the main concepts of Social and Cultural Outlook of every poet is intended not only to offer readers a unique overview of current research in the field it is also meant to serve as a forum for bringing together approaches from areas as varied as neurosciences and literary history, thus adding further contour and depth to this emergent field of study. ····· 1036119754

This thesis examines whether the use of L1 (Sinhala) could be validated across high, intermediate, and low learner proficiency levels in English. Sociolinguistically, the complex ontological and epistemological milieu of ESL in Sri Lanka granted this thesis an entrée for scrutinizing the evolution of resistance to English in the undergraduate participants. The findings of pilot studies validated the expulsion of high proficiency learners from the procedures of L1 integration. Conversely a significant % mean increase across the intermediate and the low proficiency learners was revealed under the Sinhala Gloss (SG) condition. The mean comparison for both populations was equal and low for No Gloss (NG) and English Gloss (EG) conditions resulting in the gloss condition performance indicator NG = EG SG. Scaffolding these findings to pedagogy, the study confines integrating L1 to skill development in lexical comprehension mechanisms in low and intermediate proficiency learners and discusses developing L2 inferring skills in the high proficiency learners. ····· 1036120479
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Semantic change is a linguistic phenomenon that allows words to mean something different from what they used to. The problem has preoccupied linguists ever since the beginning of the 19th century. At that time many students of language first realised that sense alterations can be no longer treated as corruption or degeneration and tried to bring them into some kind of order and system. Although its golden period is long gone, the study of diachronic changes in meaning has never been abandoned entirely. In my research, I treat semantic change as a natural consequence of the dynamic and creative nature of human cognitive capacities. In the proposed model, semantic change is perceived as an unconscious act of creation resulting from the basic mental mechanism of putting two things together, otherwise referred to as conceptual blending. Paradoxically, language is possible only if it allows a limited number of combinable linguistic forms to cover a very large number of meaningful situations. Constructing cross-domain mappings and putting mental spaces together, we arrive at new meanings that become entrenched and conventionalised in language, leading to semantic change. ····· 1036120505

The book offsets claims (by critics by Paul Bowles himself) to a putative freedom from national, cultural, or religious loyalties and challenges his status as `expert` on Muslim North African countries. Bowles`s North African writings are embedded in an imperialist discursive tradition and the `authority` of his textual representations feeds on the tropes of detachment and `invisibility` empowered and fostered by the myth of exile and/or expatriation. Bowles became regarded as such an authority that his travel and journalistic writings were literally assigned as `missions.` The financial comfort allowed by publishers` advances did not go without its concomitant share of political `contamination,` especially since, at the time, the North African countries were engaged in their independence wars... ····· 1036124610

This book analyzed sexism in the English language from three angles: morphology, syntax, semantics, aiming at foregrounding those hidden differences in the representation and treatment of women and men in language, because the differences are so prevalent within the society that they appear to be normal and commonsense to people. The book also traced the reasons for the occurrence of sexism in English from the historical, social and cultural perspectives because language is a form of social practice and oppression and sexism are phenomena of society.

The critique is from the perspective of Burton-Robert s Representational Hypothesis. Two conflicting theories of the explicit-implicit distinction are discussed and found inadequate. These are Grice s theory of conversation and Sperber and Wilson s Relevance Theory. It is argued that neither Grice nor relevance theory succeeds in showing that an explicit-implicit distinction is empirically defensible or theoretically sustainable. It is argued that the very notion of explicit communication rests on conventional assumptions inherited from generative linguistic theory, particularly Chomskyan linguistic theory. The Representational Hypothesis is presented as an alternative. An account of meaning, which follows from the Representational Hypothesis, is defended. By way of illustration, the book then draws together a range of issues, problems, and questions arising within the generative paradigm.

In this book dance writing is analysed through empirical data generated by a corpus of written dance texts. Lexical patterns, conceptual metaphor, and an ontological hierarchy are discussed in context within the discipline of Dance. Findings are tested through empirical data generated by a case study of one choreographer, Bill T. Jones, and from a corpus of texts about Jones` work, Still/Here (1994). Data generated from descriptive and interpretive analyses of Still/Here with a consideration of the work as autobiographical narrative provides a basis for a discussion of the shift in context from the dance work to a review written by one critic, Arlene Croce, and the privileging of interpretation over description in dance writing. ····· 1036187201

During the period, literary production was always used as a functional tool in the formulation and dissemination of the discourses of British imperialism. Therefore, after the 1870s, when the age of New Imperialism began with the emergence of new European imperial powers, popular adventure novels also began to emerge and then be appropriated as propaganda tools for the reinforcement of the imperial ideology in British society. Imperial adventure novels of George Alfred Henty represent this propagandist attitude in late Victorian popular fiction. However, another response to New Imperialism in Britain was the emergence of an anti-imperialistic approach. Although most critics, heavily influenced by postcolonial theory, have interpreted the imperial romances of Henry Rider Haggard as representing the pro-imperialist attitude, Ak ll argues and illustrates in this book that Haggard s novels reflect a worldview which was sharply critical of British imperialism. ····· 1036188921

Furthermore, Chatwin s particular way of perceiving reality both abroad and at home made him perceive his own reality in a different way he defined himself through an unconventional kind of subjectivity, thus creating a representation of identity other than the one expected in autobiographical accounts. From Chatwin I have learned that fictions enable us to live. He portrays the world through his own fictions and by doing so, readers perceive that reality is plural.

One of them relates to the introduction and distribution of vocabulary and its impact on the amount and rate of L2 vocabulary acquired. Despite the claim for a systematic introduction, didactic materials normally show an unsystematic presentation of vocabulary. This mismatch between the theoretical and the empirical gives us a good reason to gauge the relationship between input introduction and acquisition.

Due to the interrelated social and cultural nature of language use, the recognised importance of an early start to language instruction, and the need to continue with effective teaching until adulthood in order to combat the later disenchantment felt by some learners, the study described in this book examines the sociocultural factors which affect the language attitudes of multilingual adolescent EFL students. In order to do this, 29 students aged between 12 and 16 years were analysed by means of a questionnaire adapted from Lasagabaster & Huguet (2007), the results indicate that such external factors as sociocultural status, a stay abroad period, and out of school exposure all have a significant effect on language attitudes.

This is the first study of its kind carried out on any Pakistani language. The study examines the speech practices of rural and urban Siraiki Multanis in the home domain in the light of various demographic, social, political, and affective factors. It highlights the complex relationship of these factors with regard to change in the language use patterns of the Siraikis. The major sources of data for this study comprise of results from a matched-guise test, recorded speech of Siraikis in the home domain, and interviews. Triangulation of data and methods have been used in this research. The findings suggest that the phenomenon of Siraiki language maintenance/shift is differential in rural and urban Multan and no single factor can be held responsible for any changed or changing speech practices of the Siraikis. The conclusion argues that the attitude of the speakers towards their language is equally important in this process. ····· 1036192598

Such a thorny task is achieved by approaching the 2004 U.S.A presidential debates, held between Bush and Kerry, in virtue of Grice s Cooperative Principle and maxims. The Gricean pragmatics is evidently enriching when tackling a corpus of a political nature i.e political language is demarcated by inherent manipulation since it is originally used to affect people s minds to think in a certain way as a means of helping a politician to achieve his ultimate aim usually gaining power and authority. Harmoniously, pragmatics in general, and the Gricean pragmatics in particular, are the most manipulative areas in the field of linguistics since they are primarily concerned with how people manage to say one thing and convey another which may be different or even contradictory. Hence, this research dwells upon the political maneuvering practiced by both candidates in order to prove that linguistics can virtually provide an efficient tool for decoding a political phenomenon. ····· 1036198994

It uses concepts drawn from both corpus linguistics and cognitive linguistics, in particular drawing on theories of phraseology formulated by Sinclair and others and on theories of preposition meaning formulated by Langacker and Taylor. 1,366 instances of the use of the prepositions from the ICE-GB corpus were examined. The results indicate a relationship between the senses of prepositions and their co-occurring nouns together with some features of their linguistic behaviour. Over, into and through have similar patterns when their trajector and landmark are combined. The thesis draws on statistical information regarding Human, Concrete object and Abstract object classifications to explore the distribution of sense of over. It uses equivalent information relating to into and through to reinforce and amend the semantic networks for these prepositions proposed by Lakoff and by Tyler and Evans. ····· 1036199213

Both poets of renown and writers of occasional verse composed poems extolling the life of simple shepherds playing their pipes in the idyllic rural surroundings commonly known as Arcadia. Delight, however, never lasts long. Pastoral poetry constantly oscillates between desire for Arcadian perfection, often embodied in the pastoral maiden, and a crippling sense of loss, absence and despair. Seeking to unlock the secret of Arcadia`s appeal, analyze the forms which the Renaissance Arcadia takes, and penetrate the causes of its frequent collapse, this study attempts a unique theoretical combination of psychoanalytical and historical insights. The study combines a primarily Lacanian understanding of desire and the effect of art with a detailed consideration of the intellectual and sociopolitical context of pastoral writing. Following a theoretical introduction, the book begins with an analysis of Spenser`s major pastoral works, continues with the comprehensive and representative Elizabethan anthology Englands Helicon, and concludes with the pastoral writings of Andrew Marvell. ····· 1036199252

It primarily protests against racial discrimination, marginalization and social injustice. At the beginning of the twentieth century, African-American writers faced a plethora of serious issues: race and class inequality challenges to morality and religion interrogations of nationalism and the continuing problem of how to achieve a truly African-American identity in the face of complicating diversity. The quest for a distinct African-American identity leads to the development of several recurring themes like rebirth and renewal, the self-made man, and the melting pot that have circulated in American literature since its inception. The African-Americans have occupied a paradoxical place of simultaneous inclusion and exclusion in the history of national literature. Although they are indeed Americans and have played a crucial role in building the United States into a world power, the legacy of slavery and the ongoing, systemic racism have excluded Americans of African descent from the existing definitions and privileges of the American self. ····· 10361100080

It is based on the premise that Kenyan female writers, though prolific, have for a long time been neglected by literary critics, and even when focused upon, are lumped together with other so-called Third world female writers. Thus, the idiosyncrasies in their particular works are very often overlooked. The study seeks to correct this by undertaking an in-depth study of each of the novels explored, while at the same time using each of them to study the Kenyan society with particular attention to the situation of the woman as depicted in the texts. The novel, which in this study is the primary source, is examined as a cultural tool. Given the large number of novels that have been written by Kenyan women writers, the study uses a case-oriented methodology to select a few novels that are used as representative samples for Kenyan writing by women. The texts selected cover a long time period published from the mid-sixties, just after Kenya s independence, to the outset of the present millennium. The study is guided by theories that are drawn from postcolonial studies, cultural studies, and gender studies. ····· 10361113458

The strategies of complimenting are projected onto the interface of two typologically remote languages, English and Czech, with the aim to identify cross-language similarities and differences reflecting socio-cultural norms of expectations in different language communities. The second part surveys the outcomes of present-day corpus-based research and recent theorising on communicative functions of various discourse signposts used in spoken and written language, and proposes a model of a unified taxonomy, a network of discourse signposts by which to shelter formally heterogeneous but functionally comparable tokens under the roof of their shared prototypical function, i.e. to regulate communication.

It investigates how writers linguistically construct their characters as gendered/sexed beings as an effect of certain identity politics, ideologies and power structures. For this purpose, critical discourse analyses are applied to the extracts chosen from different parts of the novels under consideration. Butler`s performativity theory of gender and Foucault`s theory of discourse/power/knowledge and his conceptualization of subjectivity are also employed in the critical discourse analyses of the novels. The book argues that there is a close relationship between discourse, ideology and the constitution/representation of gender/sex as contingent on a particular sociocultural and historical context. Thus, writers` linguistic choices for the constructions and descriptions of their characters are not ideologically or politically innocent but imbued with sociocultural and ideological meanings. ····· 10361114541

Needs analysis adopts sound theoretical frameworks to present a clear view of institutional requirements and students` language competence. This in turn gives us information that assists in developing more appropriate and effective language courses. This book is an outcome of research to address what aspects of communicative language use in terms of skills, target situation, fields of interest and genres of academic work are demanded of students by the lecturers and examiners and how their written work is evaluated by their lecturers in the disciplines which they study. In addition the nature of students` communicative competence that they bring to the university situation and how it compares with the target genres is also tackled.

Consequently, this monograph constitutes an attempt to occupy the niche by investigating the syntax, semantics, pragmatics and functions of the basic verba dicendi (say, talk, tell and speak) in the lecture talk, a prototypical genre in academic spoken English. Since the research into the basic verba dicendi was empirical, drawing on corpus linguistics as a major methodological tool, the findings may be revealing inasmuch as they could either validate or disconfirm our introspective (hypo)theses concerning the actual use of the basic verba dicendi in academic spoken English. The applications of the findings might be numerous: EAP material writers would be in a better position to generate books which reflect actual language use educators could teach academic spoken English which is actually employed linguists would revise their knowledge of the basic verba dicendi in the light of their actual use in the academic milieu. ····· 10361132342

I investigated the LCS components of cut and break verbs semantically by providing four different semantic tests, three for durativity and one for intentionality. These tests provide semantic evidence for the CAUSE and PRODUCE components in the LCS of the verbs. The results show that the semantic features of the verb change depending on the features of the objects and whether they are in metaphorical or concrete contexts. Some Sorani verbs demonstrate different semantic components from English verbs in their meaning as they are used in different contexts with different objects.

Moreover, there is an assumption that all language activities are strategic, whether involving learners or not, since language is after all concerned with meaning construction and sharing. However, when it comes to foreign language learners, their `non-nativeness` almost always is seen as an indicator of `inappropriateness`. Though what such learners may produce would be characterized by an overall grammatical correctness, yet it is still inappropriate, in the sense that it is expressed in a way that differs from the native norms but with the aim of communication in mind. Reference here is made to the use of communication strategies. In an attempt to have a better understanding of CSs in a Moroccan non-native EFL context, this study examines the CSs used by Moroccan EFL university students in two different communication media. Special interest will be given to two issues namely the learners` level of proficiency and their degree of consciousness about their use of CSs. ····· 10361147237
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The debate over using simplified versus authentic reading materials in foreign language classes has been a controversial issue among language teaching researchers for a long time. Proponents of authentic materials argue that authentic texts are more motivating and develop good reading habits. Proponents of simplified materials, on the other hand, contend that authentic materials are not suitable for students with limited language proficiency.This book offers a new solution to this problem by suggesting that it is possible to use authentic texts in foreign language classes by fostering student-initiated interaction.Therefore, foreign language teachers can safely take authentic texts to their classes without manipulating them through simplification, provided that they can encourage learners to initiate classroom interaction by generating their own questions. ····· 10361147386
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray It would only be reasonable for Modernists to invest in ideas of losing, leaving or escaping, as they really did with their own countries. The actual experience of emigration reinforced in them the necessity of distance in order to write. T. S. Eliot dwelled on the idea of distance to form his poetic and critical works. As, in psychoanalysis, the child-mother separation antedates speaking and language, so did in Modernism the necessity of distance facilitate self-referentiality in poetics. Modern poetry speaks about itself, because it was formed after events of real dislocation. The thesis reads Modernism as a major consequence of large-scale homeleaving and as a tradition of exile. ····· 10361147442

Was passiert sprachlich/kommunikativ, wenn ein Gag uns zum Lachen oder Schmunzeln bringt In dieser Arbeit wird der Versuch unternommen, komische Kommunikationsvorgänge aus der Sicht des Fernsehzuschauers nachzuzeichnen. Auf der Grundlage klassischer Komiktheorien entstehen ein komplexes linguistisches Modell der Komikrezeption und Beschreibungskategorien, die es erlauben, Formate von Fernsehkomödien genau zu beschreiben. Untersucht werden neben Klassikern wie Monty Python`s Flying Circus und Blackadder auch The Young Ones, Red Dwarf, Reeves & Mortimer und andere Komödien. ····· 1036156618
····· lezzter Preis 76.90€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Gaps and silences are of lurid, floating character, always escaping cognitive approaches. By analysing the novels of Japanese-born British author Kazuo Ishiguro, readers play a jigsaw-activity filling in the informative gaps and deciphering auditory or spatial silences. How can these phenomenons be located To what extent is silence provocative by deflecting injurious details of the past and how does the writer`s artistic craft construct the layers of protagonists` distorted narration The main lines of inquiry are also to examine how protagonists are trapped by their first-person narration. In Kazuo Ishiguro`s early novels the provoking nature of gaps and silences will be explored by means of post-structuralist narrative discourse analysis and psychoanalytic literary criticism. ····· 1036125394
für 79.00€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The thesis outlines the course of Victorian nonsense as a playful form of children s literature since Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll and its resurgence in the modernist novel as a dialogic form of writing that calls attention to the physicality of the text: its texture, sound, shape and colour. It traces the manner in which literary nonsense and its corresponding irrationality and chaos have been addressed. The thesis aims to widen the critical understanding of literary nonsense and to draw the topic away from the category of juvenile literature. Although the thesis pays particular attention to nonsense language and narrative fiction, my discussion of Victorian nonsense includes other categories of nonsense: portraits, caricatures, rhymes, alphabets, recipes and cookery. ····· 1036188526

für 88.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray En este estudio se analiza en qué medida tanto la actitud de las heroínas de la novela inglesa del siglo XVIII (1719-1761) como sus características y su destino final confluyen en una representación estereotipada. Asimismo, se pretende desentrañar la significación profunda de dicha representación dentro de la estructura ideológica y social del siglo XVIII. En este sentido se ha procurado definir el horizonte de expectativas de los sectores medios de la sociedad de la época y estudiar en qué medida las obras analizadas se someten a los modelos imperantes o los modifican. Tras describir y valorar el destino final de la protagonista femenina, se reflexiona sobre la recompensa que aguarda a la heroína virtuosa (o al menos reformada), una recompensa que conlleva la asimilación o anulación de una personalidad potencialmente subversiva. ····· 103612696
für 88.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Esta obra presenta una aproximación crítica al papel exclusivo que tiene el libro de texto en la formación inicial del docente de inglés. Se muestra que dicho papel se fundamenta en una concepción educativa tradicional que se apoya en los principios de una didáctica parametral en donde, de manera acrítica, el libro de texto constituye el referente principal y se usa como guía para la enseñanza de una lengua extranjera. En contraposición a lo anterior, se propone introducir un nuevo paradigma en la formación de los docentes de lengua extranjera, cuyo fundamento radica en los principios propios de la didáctica no parametral, que justifica el descentramiento del libro de texto y la integración de otras formas de enseñanza más flexibles y significativas. ····· 1036189545
für 88.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray La obra dramática del norirlandés Brian Friel (Omagh, 1929) ha sido inevitablemente determinada por la cruenta historia de su comunidad durante las últimas cinco décadas. Desde su primer gran éxito, `Philadelphia, Here I Come!` (1964), hasta su última obra del siglo XX, `Give Me Your Answer, Do!` (1997), acompañaremos al dramaturgo en su búsqueda incesante de los orígenes de la violencia, de los límites entre realidad y ficción y del proceso de formación de la memoria. A lo largo de cuatro etapas veremos la evolución de un autor pionero en su voluntad de romper con los viejos mitos que fosilizaban una sociedad escindida, y estimado por los actores por la complejidad de sus personajes y la belleza y verdad que caracterizan sus diálogos. Friel ha sido representado en España desde 1988, aunque sigue siendo un gran desconocido en ámbitos académicos y teatrales en lengua española. Analizamos aquí desde la primera traducción de Josep Mª Balanya, `Traduccions` (1984), hasta la primera obra representada en Valencia, `Molly Sweeney` (2005), con un estudio de la traducción, gestación, producción y recepción de cada puesta en escena. ····· 1036189665
für 88.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray La homosexualidad masculina se articuló en la literatura norteamericana en torno a dos ejes durante los primeros años de la guerra fría: las asunciones heroicas de masculinidad y la frontera como sitio y mito. La masculinidad heroica, en otros tiempos hegemónica, y la homosexualidad de los personajes que aquí analizamos se presentan unidas en una época donde el discurso médico, jurídico, publicitario y político quiso divorciarlas. Esa unión se produjo en uno de los sitios más masculinistas de la tradición norteamericana: la frontera, fuera real, simbólica o imaginaria. Estos personajes no consiguen alejarse de las posiciones patriarcales que los oprimen como homosexuales, con lo que esa masculinidad que tanto ansían abrazar queda lejos de ser garante de pleno desarrollo individual, excepto en la frontera categórica con la realidad, lo cual convierte a estas ficciones, escritas en el umbral de la posmodernidad, en una apelación a los procesos desintegradores y liberalizadores de la misma. ····· 10361116255
