To date, there have only been four published works investigating the sounds of this English variety and out of the four, only one incorporated the use of acoustic measurements. The present study provides an in-depth instrumental investigation of the segmental features of educated BrunE speech. Its objectives are three-fold: first, it contributes to the literature on the phonetics of BrunE second, it aims to investigate the extent of the reliability of acoustic measurements in describing a language variety and third, it examines the feasibility of describing an emerging English variety on its own terms without reference to an inner circle variety such as British English (BrE). Comparison is, however, made to Singapore English (SgE). This is because it has been suggested that an English lingua franca with shared pronunciation features is developing in the Southeast Asian region. Comparison to SgE, therefore, allows an assessment of the relationship between these two English varieties, and thereby place BrunE within the context of the Southeast Asian Englishes and also the World Englishes. ····· 10361134392

Contemporary intellectual theory has spent thirty years questioning the assumptions behind the epistemological processes of Western rationality. A casual glance at the situatedness of rationality in social class during the colonial period, during which one of the book`s primary texts, The Hound of the Baskervilles, was written, suggests that its purpose has as much to do with social class as it has to do with an objective uncovering of facts and truth. Watson s heartfelt, morally-impassioned remark that to believe in a superstition like the hound would be to descend to the level of these poor peasants (146) shows very clearly that rationality forms an important boundary between the lower and middle class. When one thinks about the influences that permitted the middle class to develop and differentiate itself from the lower, rationality becomes evident everywhere. ····· 10361134325

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray In 1908, two Canadian women published first novels that became instant best-sellers. Nellie McClung s Sowing Seeds in Danny initially outsold Lucy Maud Montgomery s Anne of Green Gables, but by 1965 McClung s book had largely disappeared from Canadian consciousness. The popularity of Anne, on the other hand, has continued to the present, and Anne has received far more academic and critical attention, especially since 1985. It is only recently that Anne of Green Gables has been criticized for its ideology in the same manner as Sowing Seeds in Danny. One hypothesis is that Danny s relatively speedy disappearance was partly due to a shift in Canadians religious worldview over the twentieth century as church attendance and biblical literacy gradually declined. McClung s rhetorical strategies look back to the dominant Protestantism of the nineteenth century, in contrast to Montgomery s, which look forward to the twentieth-century s waning of religious faith. Likewise, the recent critical challenges to both novels spring from a worldview at odds with the predominantly Christian worldview of 1908. ····· 10361134277

ESL/EFL learners are expected that they would achieve native-like competence in English language. Such expectations from the learners are often translated into an utter disappointment because native-speaker model is unattainable in a multilingual setting. The study looks into the matter and diagnoses the reasons as to why such model is not achievable. First, the defining characteristics of native and non-native speaker native-speaker model were re-examined in literature. Then, the perceptions of the students and teachers regarding their preferred model, their purposes in learning English, their attitudes towards English language, and the problems associated with learning and teaching of English in following native-speaker model were explored through questionnaires and interviews. The results indicated that the students and teachers opted for bilingual communicative model as their preferred model for learning and teaching English ····· 10361133852

It explores the nature of the use of English in Nigeria, the co-existence of English with other Nigerian languages and the sociolinguistic impact of the language in several communicative contexts in the country. ................................................ One major strength of this book is that it directs attention to various fertile areas of research in the sociology of English in Nigeria. This is particularly important for it invites scholars to look in these directions in their work instead of rehashing the same tiring arguments about what English is doing in Nigeria.

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The repercussions of September 11, 2001, and the US occupation of Iraq, 2003, provide the backdrop in a number of American and Arab fiction. This book compares two novels each from the American and Arab literary traditions to examine their use of history as an intertext. John Updike s Terrorist (2006), Lorraine Adams Harbor (2004), Hussein al-Saqqaf s Qissat Irhabi (2007) and Mohammad Ismail s Sahra al-Mawt wa al-Salam (2005) employ events of 9/11 and the US occupation of Iraq to show differing ideologies at play. In the analysis of these novels, the comparative paradigm and the interdisciplinary approach have been combined to be used as the methodology, and the theory of intertextuality has been utilised as the tool of analysis. By appropriating the modes of intertextuality hypertextuality and metatextuality in the four narratives, the book exposes the ways in which dissimilar American and Arab ideologies are played out in these literary texts. While American fiction shows Islamophobic and Arabophobic traits, Arab fiction displays characteristics of Americophobia and Judeophobia. ····· 10361133658
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This dissertation aims to account for the stylistic idiosyncrasies observed in the naming of the main character of Anthony Burgess s post-modernist historical novel `A Dead Man in Deptford`, the Elizabethan poet and dramatist Christopher Marlowe. The interest in naming is due to the salience given to personal names, either because some names display a marked tendency to change form so that the same name appears under a variety of spellings, or becausen other names are foregrounded by being brought into relation with other items on the strength of the formal similarities between them, inducing the reader to assign a meaning to them. Names are seen to reflect the tension between structure and indeterminacy within the language system, strongly suggesting the centrality of names to the inquiry into the internal contradiction of the language system. Also, as the most conspicuous names are those which identify the protagonist, the ambiguity surrounding them reflects the problematic concerning the identity of their bearer and the circumstances of the violent and untimely death alluded to in the title of the novel under review. ····· 10361133598
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray It is repeatedly mentioned in the Hong Kong Certificate of Education (HKCE) English Language examination reports that one prevalent problem in speaking assessment is the inappropriate use of stock phrases for expressing agreement. Phrases such as `I agree.` and `That`s a good idea.` were overly used without reference to the context. In Hong Kong, English language textbooks are the primary, if not the only, sources for the local candidates to prepare for the speaking assessment. When textbook English does not accurately reflect the authentic use of expressions for agreement, candidates will probably not be able to use them appropriately in group discussion. This book is a corpus-based study focusing on a comparison between textbook English and corpus English. It aims to find out how corpus data help improve teaching and learning of agreement for local students. It is argued that corpus evidence would be useful for textbook writers to describe and explain the appropriate use of expressions of agreement in genuine English. The analysis should be useful to textbook writers and language teachers who are interested in using corpus data to teach agreement in speaking. ····· 10361133541

It interrogates how Ngugi wa Thiong`o collapses the myth that Europe is the path-finder and African societies should replicate their historical path. the movement into modernity is uneven and the very definition of modernity is a site of contest. Africans have always been moving into their own brand of modernity defined by their peculiar social, economic, political and historical circumstances. this movement into modernity was necessitated by the dynamic nature of their culture, a culture that was not static, but in a constant state of flux in response to the changing environment.

Ophelia`s book analyses women in Shakespeare`s texts with a view to finding out if these women are the passive suffering victims that some women have often been portrayed to be. Surprisingly, some of the studied women are found out to be the cause for disorder in their society, and men are found to be at their mercy. This is the case, for instance, with Goneril and Regan, who leave their ailing father to nature`s mercy and pluck out Glocester`s eyes. This book thus dismisses the common belief that women always need empowerment and support affirmative action. Instead, men at times need to be protected against such women! Reading through this piece of writing will take you through a variety of categories of women, after which you will probably push for another theory, one that calls for men emancipation. ····· 10361133219
für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book is an attempt to apply Hubert Zapf s theory, literature as cultural ecology to gothic literature. The motivation of this study was to explore the transformations of gothic literature throughout the 20th century in the light of a classic literary theory, instead of the postmodern debates of cultural studies, albeit the ever-up-to-dateness of gothic literature as a perpetual criticism of culture. The gothic attributes are identified as gothic syndrome, in that they emerge as a cluster of miscellaneous syndromes in the novels. In Ian McEwan s The Comfort of Strangers, the gothic syndrome is displayed by the topography of Venice and the prospective results of a repressive perception of classicism, whereas in Peter Ackroyd s Hawksmoor it is achieved through the shifts in time and language, along with the challenge of dark anxieties. Stephen King s Misery reveals the phenomenon in problematizing the literary market in the face of a malevolent Magna Mater figure and the uncanny experience of a writer. In Chuck Palahniuk s Diary, the gothic syndrome is provided through the demonstration of how the grotesque works within the frame of gothic literature. ····· 10361133073

Commentators, especially in English-speaking countries, seemed shocked by the decision. One of the primary concerns was that Müller was relatively unknown. This work seeks to address this and other concerns by looking at reviews of her works in German- and English-language publications both before and after the Nobel Prize was awarded. This thesis analyses chronologically the reception of her books beginning with Niederungen in 1982 and ending with the reception of her novel Atemschaukel in 2009. It compares the reception of the original German text to that of the English translation therefore only works which have been translated and published in English are discussed. While Müller`s work did not top the bestseller charts, at least before the Nobel Prize, she was hardly the completely unknown author that some in the English-language media believed. This work seeks to present trends in the reception as well as provide a basis for further study of the reception of Herta Müller. ····· 10361132636

From early uses by Hesiod and Herodotus to describe the Oracle at Delphi in Ancient Greece it has been incorporated into a modern, Hegelian dialectic by Eilade and Kerenyi in the field of comparative religion. What the omphalos was, a particular functionary in the act of producing prophetic poetry, has been left to prehistory, yet this study shows it awaits us. From the poetic, dreamlike narrative within us, which is inseparable from the literary process, the omphalos produces a dialectic that always reveals an unknown, tertiary figure of our consciousness, and produces a breaking point in the cyclical narrative of identity. From Homeric illustrations the reader notes a dialectical gaze which locates a break in Hegel s, where Lawrence situates Whitman, Pan, and America, Joyce with himself, and Derrida with Joyce, Nietzsche, Freud, and Education. This book traces a genealogy where classic and modern uses seem archaic, though undisclosed, while contemporary uses continue to invert the literary process itself to create a future by no longer resisting the omphalos. ····· 10361132504
