Subsequently, this state of nonbeing drives Ibsen s characters to drastic and desperate actions. They are filled with frights and terrors, become rebellious, undertake extreme steps, which not only ruin their own lives but others as well. They either commit suicide or induce others to do so. ····· 1036124461

Fenómenos como la globalización y el comercio internacional han hecho que el inglés se convierta en lengua franca o medio de comunicación a nivel mundial. El inglés se encuentra tan inmerso en las sociedades europeas que podríamos estar ante el surgimiento de cierto sentimiento de identidad con la lengua inglesa entre los ciudadanos europeos. Se trata de una influencia que incide en todos los niveles de las lenguas. Esta realidad me ha llevado a realizar un análisis de dicho impacto en el contexto de España. Con tal fin, he realizado diversos estudios que cubren diferentes entornos que constituyen los distintos capítulos de este libro. El primer capítulo estudia el campo de la publicidad. El segundo se centra en la traducción de los títulos de las películas estrenadas en cines españoles. El tercero analiza el uso de anglicismos en la prensa escrita cinematográfica. El cuarto capítulo investiga el contacto de los jóvenes españoles con el inglés. El último capítulo es un espacio reservado para emitir conclusiones y reflexionar sobre este tema. ····· 1036123169

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book is meant to examine the representation of place and cross-racial relationships in five novels by Nadine Gordimer. 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 widespread of English has caused the creation of new languages and dialects (New Englishes). 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

Due to its rich agreement features, Standard Arabic is selected to manifest the features of the category D. Author Maather Al-Rawi establishes a DP analysis of a number of nominals in Standard Arabic including possessives, pronouns, proper names, verbal nouns, and adjectives. The DP analysis accounts for the structure of nominals that have been unaccounted-for under the traditional analysis where N is the head. Under the DP analysis, Al-Rawi resolves a number of problems in the syntax of Arabic nominals. Her discussion leads important conclusions concerning the difference between two word order possessives in Arabic: D-NP and NP-D, the position of Arabic pronouns and proper names, the verbo-nominal nature of Arabic action nominals, the dual category of Arabic adjectives, and Comp(limentizer)-like nature of the Arabic article al- the . ····· 1036121360

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Using feminism as a reading mechanism, many of Stevie Smith s collected poems create a true image of the female s body and call for reformulating her gendered role. 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

Furthermore, variables such as sex, the level of proficiency were also investigated. The instruments used in the study consisted of: (a) a questionnaire on motivation which was developed by Vallerand et al. (1992), (b) a questionnaire on language learning strategies developed by Oxford (1990), and (c) a TOEFL developed by ETS (Educational Testing service). The results of this study revealed that extrinsic motivation did not correlate meaningfully with the choice of language learning strategies. On the other hand, intrinsic motivation correlated meaningfully with the choice of language learning strategies. Also, there was no difference between males and females in terms of strategy choice and strategy use.

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Second language communication strategies (L2 CS) have been studied with two contrasting approaches sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic perspectives. Distinction on the adopted framework has also led to differences in research methodologies and analysis of data. Regardless of the differences, the two groups seem to agree that consciousness, problematicity and oral discourse are three key elements of L2 CS. Both frameworks are also of the same understanding that tasks influence the choices of the strategies. The use of cultural notions in the study of L2 CS is not only something of interest for the researcher but also still lack of investigation in the field. In light of this, the study is aimed to investigate the kinds of strategies that Indonesian EFL speakers will utilise when dealing with specific cultural topics to a native speaker of English who is of different linguistic background and has no cultural knowledge on the target items. The findings of such study are expected to give references on the learners communication competence and should particularly be useful for teachers, researchers, school administrators and anyone interested to learn a second language. ····· 1036120895

The BSFUC provide in fact a good ground both for semiotic and linguistic speculation, but apart from the challenging experience presented by the work of translation which initially constituted the starting point and the only goal of the research - the true nature of this essay derives indeed from the chance offered by the set of stories to go beyond a simple analysis of a text in terms of linguistic features, and to consider the interaction between communicative codes as a powerful means to widen the spectrum of interpretative and emotional possibilities given to the audience of readers. Along with a first analytical part articulated on four chapters, this book is also provided with an appendix containing a specimen of 11 short stories translated from English into Italian. ····· 1036120800

Fashion and literature are in constant interaction with each other and us, as both of them are important means of self-expression. While practising either fashion or literature, we are expected to follow some set of rules that regulate the ways in which we express ourselves. In addition to this external control imposed upon us, we also oblige ourselves to follow those rules while dressing or writing. Moreover, intentionally or unintentionally, we dress and write according to some rules ourselves have created in order to be accepted in the society. The Elizabethans and the Victorians did the same, however they were faced with stricter rules, and serious punishments in case they failed to comply. ····· 1036120785

This study was set to establish the impact of these English Skills Courses on the written syntactic construction by university students. Focus was on syntactic errors because such errors mar the intended meaning of the sentence, paragraph or essay. The assumption of this study was that English Skills Courses help the students to lessen syntactic errors in their written work and that syntactic errors are the most recurrent errors made by the students. The theoretical framework employed in this study was based on the input hypothesis, the error analysis, and the inter-language theory. A purposive sampling method was used to select a target group of 15 students and a control group of 15 students. The methods used were tests and observation schedules. Essays written for placement tests, mid-quarter exams, continuous assessment tests and final exams were collected and analysed for syntactic errors. The analysis included checking how frequent the errors occur and the trend they take after instruction. ····· 1036120621
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Almost always, there are discrepancies between language policy as statement and language policy as actual implementation. 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

But there are very few natives/indigenous who had the courage, social status and sense of awkwardness towards the British colonial rulers. Marlow might not retort the way a white usually retort after the natives attack in the river. But it is mistake to take this attitude as the proof of other whites regular behaviors. The two seminal writings A Passage to India and Heart of Darkness offered ample options to focus on the locations of the indigenous in Asia and Africa. This study will lead the readers towards the understanding of the horror of colonization and imperialism that dislocates the natives not only from their family/community/society but also from their own selves. They remain human only in stature. There are options for the readers to look at colonialism, imperialism and postcolonialism through textual connotations and get the explanation on how the gap between black and white is created through the binary Manichaeism. ····· 1036120535
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

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

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· 1 · ::::: · 10 ·· 11 ·· 12 ·· 13 ·· 14 ·· 15 ·· 16 · ::::: · 17 ·
