Considering the insufficient amount of class time, it is reasonable to devise a complementary means of learning words to help learners and teachers to take advantage of technological initiatives. Therefore, in this study text-message vocabulary learning was hypothesized to be a potential way to help EFL learners consolidate their vocabulary knowledge. To fulfill the purpose of the study, 35 female students in three classes at the low intermediate level at Sadra institute in Mashad participated in the study. They received 10 unknown vocabularies on the paper and 10 questions, and 10 inspirational quotes through SMS messages during three weeks. Four tests were utilized, three tests during three weeks of the study and one test after a-10-day interval, in order to investigate the impact of text-messaging and paper-and-pencil on participants vocabulary learning and retaining.

····· lezzter Preis 44.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This work explores the Yiddish double-object construction, trying to account for its word order variations through the most suitable phrase structure theory. Since Yiddish exhibits both VO and OV properties, it can be analysed as either VO or OV underlyingly. The core assumption behind this debate is questioned, and an alternative, more flexible account for the structure of Yiddish VP is suggested: According to Neeleman and Weerman s theory of flexible syntax (1999), coexisting structures can be base-generated. This work thus assumes a flexible structure for Yiddish, which relies on Universal 20 order of attachment. An alternative VP-shell configuration with extensive scrambling is also examined for Yiddish, and the two theories are compared considering information structure effects and Yiddish data regarding scope, particle verbs and binding. The author s conclusion is that a multiple base-generation analysis makes more correct predictions than one based on scrambling of the arguments around the verb hence an analysis of Yiddish as having no fixed VO/OV order, but rather a flexible order of direct and indirect objects with certain restrictions, can best account for the data. ····· 10361131818

It operationalizes history in a manner that not only illuminates but stimulates more thinking and debates on Zimbabwe`s tumultuous politics of contested hegemony. It brings out crucial perspectives on nation and nationalism that potentially embellish current scholarship which has tended to neglect literary genres whenever discussing `serious` matters.This is vital particularly given the fact that history is at the centre of politics in contemporary Zimbabwe and as such this discourse needs to be engaged from plural perspectives.I further argue that the contesting representations of liberation war history in novelistic discourse make possible the evolution of new contents and thrusts since literature invests in the power of the image and the symbol to comment on important national matters. ····· 10361119720

The human mind is still a largely unexplored frontier. She was known to suffer from bi-polar problems and from the debilitating circumstances of an unsuccessful marriage. Sabina Shah has looked at some of her poems to trace the course of her mentation at different times in her short life. The age of psychoanalysis might be over, but that does not mean that all of its insights should be abandoned. Ms Shah suggests possibilities in the development of a suicidal mind-path leading to the moment of decision when Plath finally gassed herself. This work would best be read by people with some background in the works of Freud and Jung. However, it is not a treatise on psychoanalysis. It is an attempt to apply some of the tools developed by the great psychoanalysts to a great poet`s writings in the hope of understanding things better. Ms Shah is acutely aware that a lot has been left unsaid, so she has confined her vision to just one small area of Sylvia Plath`s poetic output. ····· 10361119535

For example the in English we say to catch a cold but in other languages they say to eat a cold. As soon as a non-native speaker directly translates their phrase correctly, they give away their identity. In business situations this can put the speaker at a disadvantage as most people associate low language ability with low intelligence. A single collocation mistake can have a dramatic impact on the way an employee is perceived in the office. In my work with multiple non-native speakers with high level executive positions at international firms, I often found that a few collocation mistakes led to a great deal of embarrassment in the workplace as her supervisor then demanded to review and edit every single email before she was allowed to send it to another department. This highly intelligent executive left her position shortly after this experience. By short cutting the collocation learning curve we can help our business students have better work experiences. ····· 10361118845

Past research has presented infant-directed (ID) speech as an accommodative style whose acoustic features provide babies with structured input for making sense of speech and acquiring mappings between sound and meaning. However, with most investigations focused on effects of this style on infants` perceptual abilities, little quantitative information is available for the ID speech signal itself. By comparing ID speech with other listener-oriented styles (i.e. computer-directed speech, `foreigner talk`, and Lombard speech), the author seeks to address the following questions: (1) do different listener constraints elicit characteristic forms of modulation by speakers , and (2) how does ID speech compare with other accommodative styles in the use of hyperspeech features Fundamental frequency, intensity, the 1st and 2nd formants, segment duration, and speech rate are among the acoustic parameters analysed in this investigation. ····· 10361118637

However, it is worthwhile mentioning that it is Maggie`s desire in the first place that prompts us to see a sequel as we consider Maggie`s fate throughout the novel. Once Maggie`s desire is made or set, the sequel of Desire, Despair and Death in Maggie`s follows inevitably.Maggie is a simple girl born and brought up in a slum. Her childhood passes in exactly the same manner a slum child has to undergo. However, as she stands in her adolescence, she breaks the trend. Against her own family background, she grows up to be a girl who looks descent and uncontaminated by anything belonging to the slum. She is innocent and ignorant too.

The book revisits this research oversight through an empirical examination of the joint effect of task conditions and goal orientations not only on language learners oral performance and but also on their speaking development. Building on a processing-based framework, analysis of results elicited by experimental narrative tasks revealed a considerable scope of goal-related variability in language learning context. Such variation had a direct bearing on language learners processing biases with regard to the quality of their performance and speaking development. The book also provides insights into the ways language learning practitioners grade and sequence oral tasks based on an informed understanding of learners goal orientations. ····· 10361118251

El elemento constante en varios de esos relatos es la condición de marginalidad o exilio de una nación, de una situación política o de un canon, exilio que lleva en algunas ocasiones a una visión disfórica del mundo local, y en otras, a un gozoso trabajo de reedición paródica de una tradición literaria a la que no se pertenece, consolidando estéticamente una polifonía de dialectos y estilos, y a la vez, un nuevo producto literario que tiene a la trashumancia como punto central de su constitución, textos que, más que a una literatura local, pertenecen al español como multifacética identidad lingüística ····· 10361117184

Pero ¿qué hay detrás de tales concordancias Este libro ofrece una respuesta fundamentada en el estudio comparado de los temas y motivos comunes y recurrentes en las obras de ambos autores. Escrutando la realidad, el tiempo y la memoria, Borges y Nabokov formulan concepciones afines reflejándolas en sus escritos. Les fascina el valor de los hombres y les hace plantear su propia postura ante la vida, les aterran los espejos y atraen los laberintos, les maravilla el juego de ajedrez y apasiona la búsqueda de claves. Los dos escritores también prestan especial atención al sentido de la vista al que otorgan un importante rol simbólico en sus cosmovisiones. Como demuestra el estudio, la proximidad de los idearios de Borges y Nabokov se debe a los contextos socioculturales en los que se forman sus personalidades y se desarrollan sus trayectorias artísticas y vitales. Mas las similitudes observadas no desvirtúan las divergencias que imprimen el sello de unicidad en las obras de estos autores, de lo que también se da cuenta en el libro. ····· 10361117041

Se entrecruzan así, técnicas del género periodístico y técnicas del género literario. Nos concentraremos en ver cómo García Márquez rompe con la forma y el sentido de la forma de la crónica periodística y de la novela realista, pues encontramos un narrador que se presenta como un cronista subjetivo, como una de las tantas estrategias utilizadas por el autor para intentar hacer de la narración un mundo real a los ojos del lector. Este cronista se apropia de estrategias de los demás géneros para ampliar las posibilidades estéticas del texto literario en cuestión, representando, por medio de la palabra, una percepción posible del mundo. Un mundo regido por leyes propias que espera un lector preguntándose lo que la obra misma no responde. En esta obra, la entrevista deja de ocupar un espacio netamente periodístico para incluirse en la literatura y convertirse en una caudalosa expresión de voces que modulan la voz única de la lengua. ····· 10361116531

Taking these main concepts into consideration, it was argued that two mentioned works stand in the meeting point of these two different approaches. In one chapter, epic is examined as a genre as well as the concept of hero in epic poetry with distinguishing elements separating it from other hero figures. Another focuses on how the main archetypes emerge in different steps of hero journey and how the journey process merges into one with the main archetypes to consist a multi-layered structure in the mentioned works. As a result, it was argued that in two major works of John Milton, one of the most distinguished poets of English literature as well as the epic tradition consist of the concepts of archetypes and hero journey in a grift and eloquent way. With these two very important works in which the traditional meets the innovative features, influence of John Milton is still existent on both poets and critics. ····· 10361114707
