A parallel study of developments in the field within the European Union, and of developments on other continents is also made. Legal Interpreting, and more particularly, Court Interpreting, is recognised as a right and protected under Maltese Law. The book comprises a study of this right, and of the legal basis to it, together with an explanation of its vital importance during criminal procedures. This right was recognised under the European Convention of Human Rights, of which Malta is a signatory. The author verifies whether it is respected in practice, and whether the protection provided is sufficient. What safeguards exist to ensure proper interpreting during criminal procedures As yet, none formally exist under Maltese Law. Interpreting is only considered as an adjunct to the legal profession, and is not recognised as a profession in its own right. As a consequence, court interpreting remains unregulated and unmonitored. Any person professing to be bilingual can be engaged as court interpreter, even during criminal procedures. This could very easily lead to the very injustice the Law means to prevent. ····· 10361114696

This preoccupation has naturally had a bearing on our conception of the spirit of the age. Traditionally, the 1890s have been seen as a period of decadence, an era in which the general artistic mood was characterised by morbidity, disillusion and pessimism. ····· 10361114647

In a vivid story that recollects the details of these events, Rowlandson attempts to impart a message to her community through the use of three existing literary devices. The genre of the `captivity narrative` that evolved is a distinct literary mode developed as a confluence of these: spiritual autobiography, a documentary method meant to archive spiritual and emotional growth through a record of daily activities the conversion narrative, which made public one`s theological assurance of God`s grace and the jeremiad, a sermon form designed to remind Puritans of their Covenant with God. To her contemporaries, Rowlandson served as an example of God`s Providence. To later generations and specifically twenty-first century scholars, she represents the voice of a new genre of storytelling. ····· 10361114555

The advocates of the sociocultural studies propose that incorporating a social perspective of learners and language learning can make a significant contribution to the understanding of the complexity of L2 learning process. Moreover, in recent years, there has been increasing interest in using blogs in the area of L2 learning. To determine the appropriateness of integrating blogs in L2 learning and to further understand the process of L2 learning, this book, therefore, presents and discusses empirical research exploring the effectiveness of integrating blogs in EFL learning, particularly in the aspects of reading and writing, based on Vygotsky`s ideas about social interaction, collaboration, mediation and scaffolding. This investigation should help make the complicated process of L2 learning be more transparent, and be useful to the professionals in L2 learning and teaching fields, or anyone else who are interested in looking at L2 learners` language learning via the use of blogs from the sociocultural perspective. ····· 10361114412

In this book I analyze the depictions of the cities in the four works, and situate them in their historical and geographical contexts to examine the characteristics of each city as represented in the novels. In studying urban space in the literary texts, I try to address issues of the imaginablity of cities to question how physical urban space intertwines with the characters` perception and imagination about the cities and their own psychological activities. ····· 10361114410
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Ameen Fares Rihani, an American Lebanese writer, has visionary and revolutionary thoughts that are applicable to the past, present, and future. Since Rihani`s critical and eclectic ideas have not been tackled in depth, this book fills this gap by profoundly delving into all aspects of criticism touched upon in his English and Arab oeuvres. The focus of this work is on two newly published books: The Lore of the Arabian Nights and Critiques in Art. The critical analysis of Rihani`s work is worth perusing because its subject proves to be a visionary orator whose prophetic ideas are more applicable today than they were a century ago. Highlighting Rihani`s criticism is crucial nowadays because he offered numerous practical solutions to solve economic, social, religious, and political conflicts that affect the Middle East. This study should particularly be useful to modern historians, reformers, and writers who will be amazed at how thoughtful, visionary, and liberal Rihani is in delineating many life aspects and attempting their reform by means of tolerance and persuasion. ····· 10361114375

As a result of the Holocaust, the threat of ethnic annihilation and identity crisis of the Jewish people were the main concerns in the post-war period. In the literary world, many Jewish writers have adopted the problem of Jewish identity as their main theme. While some of these writers try to preserve and restore the Jewish heritage in their fiction, some others depict the identity crisis and the protest of the Jewish self`s against traditional Jewishness in the American WASP society. Philip Roth, one of the prominent writers of the Jewish novel tradition, deals with the problematic aspects of being a Jewish in the multiculturalistic structure of America. His characters are usually not comfortable in their environment and they oscillate between the Jewish milieu and the gentile world to find a better place for themselves. This work aims to explore Roth`s fiction, and tries to reveal the tensions that the Jewish self experiences as he interacts with both cultures. ····· 10361114270
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Children in the world today face challenges of self definition due to the global forces that assail them. Refugee children are particularly vulnerable because not only are they faced by these forces, but they are also dislocated from their homes of origin. As a result of this dislocation,most refugee children occupy an indefinite space`- a psychological state of waiting for life to become normal again. For refugee children, the sense of identity largely associated with geographical locatedness and permanence is dismantled by the reality of living in that space` between their home country and the hoped for future resettlement country or a future return to the original home country or perhaps integration and settling in the host country. A pertinent question that arises from the above situation is how refugee children perceive their identity in such circumstances. This book therefore examines how refugee children use personal oral narratives to construct their identity within the context of globalization. This book should be of interest to literary scholars especially those interested in narrative studies. Professionals dealing with refugee children should also find it of interest. ····· 10361114046

This book discusses if intertextuality and metafiction have made us object less to the literary fake in the postmodern age Two novels by the British author Peter Ackroyd, The Lambs of London and Chatterton are analysed in depth. The first novel concerns the discovery of a new play by William Shakespeare, if it really is by Shakespeare The latter is about the mysterious suicide of the poet Chatterton and his literary legacy. To combine these two postmodern novels with the concepts of artistic forgery and originality the book introduces, explains and employs critical terms such as: palimpsest, pastiche, the fake, metafiction, intertextuality, metatextuality, historiographic metafiction and new historicism.

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The study reflected in this book aims at addressing the issues related to the reliability and validity of adoption of concept maps to assess L2 reading comprehension. The concept map version utilized in this study was select and fill-in (SAFI) to ensure objectivity and ease of scoring. In validation of the test, the endeavor was made to rigorously pretest the test through three separate pilot studies, to address validity from different angles, to investigate construct validity through think aloud procedure, and to further validate the test via a triple-comparison among three L2 reading test formats. The results substantiated that SAFI concept map can be a reliable and valid tool of L2 reading assessment which has the potential of assessing connected understanding and discourse comprehension. A significant practical implication of concept map assessment approach is that it offers the prospect of developing L2 reading tests that encourage testees` utilization of higher-order abilities, while allowing for objective scoring. The comprehensive discussion and implications presented in the book should be especially useful for L2 test developers and instructors, as well as L2 learners. ····· 10361113849

The privileged position enjoyed by the powerful centre in the centuries preceding the twentieth century has thus been debunked by the marginals of the postcolonial world. The oppressed and enslaved people are hence now claiming their rights as humans to be treated equally with those from more privileged backgrounds. The proletarian self who had witnessed oppression and injustice of all kinds is now telling the stories to the world and asking to be heard.This book takes up for discussion four texts from four different authors of the twentieth century Indian English literature, who discover different aspects of the issue of marginality in postcolonial Indian nation. The conclusion underlines the postcolonial character of the texts discussed to give a definitive understanding of the marginal in twentieth century Indian English fiction. In doing so, this study seeks to foreground the treatment of the marginal in twentieth century Indian English fiction in all its scope and range. ····· 10361113711
····· lezzter Preis 44.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This thesis analyses the influence of taboo words and euphemisms on language change. It argues that the presence of taboo words and euphemisms in Ndebele language often results in changes in the meaning of words. It is observed that changes that occur on the meaning of such words are often a result of the Ndebele people`s perception of the referred subjects. Thus it is argued that language change can be influenced by the culture of a people. As a result the affected words may be extended, that is broadening the meaning, or the meaning may be narrowed. Words may also become unfavorable and fall off. The subjects of death and sexuality are used to demonstrate the changes in meanings of words. These are subjects that are surrounded by a lot of taboo words and euphemisms and the nature of such subjects calls for the use of avoidances. ····· 10361113710
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Mostly employed to analyze poems or (post)modernist novels abundant in foregrounding techniques, foregrounding theory is not often applied to traditional novels, for foregrounding thereof is on the whole not as conspicuous, hence far less study on the translation of traditional novels from the perspective of foregrounding theory. Actually, when it comes to the translation of traditional novels, most losses are the result of translators inadequate foregrounding awareness, which leads to a failure of representing the original foregrounding stylistic effects. This book, by means of comparison and contrast of the three Chinese translations of The Picture of Dorian Gray, is intended to demonstrate that translators should pay special attention to various foregrounding devices in source text so as to represent them in target text to the best of their ability with a view to achieving stylistically functional equivalence instead of referential correspondence with different degrees of losses of aesthetic and thematic values. The analyzing processes and the basic argument of this book are particularly useful to professional translators or anyone else who wants to undertake translation tasks. ····· 10361113677

Mythology provides individuals with life models and establishes a connection to the people from whom an individual is descended. Works of modern literature that incorporate mythology and universal themes and archetypes provide a guide, a contemporary guide, to dealing with the problems faced by all people. Homer first established the hero and journey archetypes in 800 B.C. and authors continue to utilize them today. In literature, heroes are important and interesting characters who are role models and who teach the reader important lessons about the human condition. The mythological connection and the archetypes of the hero and journey are presented here in the context of `The Lord of the Rings` and `Harry Potter`, two incredibly popular cultural icons of literature, through which the timeless lessons of mythology are transmitted to a modern audience. ····· 10361113007
für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Nietzsche shattered the previous parameters of existence irreparably when he disconnected the individual from his illusions by laying bare a decentered universe devoid of any form of meaning, and the result was nihilism in the beginning. Interestingly enough, Nietzschean epistemology also offered ways to overcome this nihilistic stage in an individual`s struggle for a meaningful existence. This work is based on the analysis of two plays by Tom Murphy, Bailegangaire and The Sanctuary Lamp , against the background of Nietzschean philosophy, nihilism, and attempts to discover the parallelisms between Murphy`s characters and Nietzschean elements in their search for the essence of existence and their desire for a meaningful life. The playwright conveys an individual`s loss of purpose and the inevitable chaos in the aftermath of the death of God and, also, the methods to surmount this nihilistic condition. The study comes to the conclusion that the Nietzschean elements build a solid background for Murphy`s drama, where the dramatist draws a picture of systematicity of existence of an individual who struggles to attain meaning. ····· 10361112941
Challenging stereotypes and clichés, pointing out injustices, fighting structural, institutional, and everyday racism - not because of curiosity, or choice but as necessity for plain survival - has always been the burden of the Black subject in Germany. There has equally always been a solid correlation between political activism and the production of literature as a means of raising awareness and empowerment.
Uncovering hidden chapters of activism and literature production, and understanding that there is no such thing as one Black German Community, but rather that there are and always have been different communities and individuals with different backgrounds and agendas, is key to understanding the complexity of Black German history, `community`, its activism, and its literature.
Towards this end Arriving in the Future: Stories of Home and Exile is an English-language anthology of poetry, short stories, and academic essays on Black German experience written by twenty-six Black poets, writers, and artists from across the African Diaspora living in Germany. Through their words, the following pages attempt to portray some of the history of Black communities in Germany, and the poetry and creative writing of the present which show in all their beauty the diversity of Black voices in the Germany of today.
Afro German, African, African American (including North, South, and Central America), Afro European - these terms are not mutually exclusive. Being Black in Germany, or being a Black German national is a wonderful banality that deserves recognition but requires neither charity nor exoticism. ····· 10361112560· 1 · ::::: · 9 ·· 10 ·· 11 ·· 12 ·· 13 ·· 14 ·· 15 · ::::: · 37 ·
