But Love rises above barriers erected by man, throwing up heroic tales of the oxymoronic `love for the enemy`. Shute took an active part in the two World Wars. He was a Lieutenant Commander in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, a Balliol graduate in Aeronautical Engineering, a war time reporter, an aviation expert, a racing driver, and a writer of fiction, rolled in one. Many of his novels contain first-hand description of battles, fused with tales of love during and after war. The vagaries of trigger-happy Generals and fickle-minded power-mongers, often drive nations to war. But for this `accident of war`, genial and lovable individuals would never kill one`s own brethren. This book presents Shute`s `little men`, women and children entangled in valorous tales of love, cutting across national, religious, racial, ethnic and countless other barriers to sustain their feelings. It takes a close look at the characters who are in the centre of gripping tales of selfless affection, love and sacrifice as narrated by Nevil Shute in three of his novels, `Pied Piper`(1941), `The Chequer Board` (1947) and `A Town Like Alice` (1949) ····· 10361133678

Students don t learn by a mere transfer of knowledge, consumed through rote memorization and later regurgitated. True learning comes about through the discovery of truth, not through the imposition of an official truth. Noam Chomsky. Thus, this book is considered the very first study which tackles the seriousness of syntactic and semantic errors in the acquisition of English by Arabic-speaking learners. What makes this book different from others in the field is the fact that the EG studies done worldwide depend on Native and/or Non-native speakers to judge the seriousness of the errors committed by L2 learners whereas this book employs statistical methodology, as being reliably objective and surpassing the existing ones.

But we are not the first to experience this, and are probably the worst to deal with it. In the nineteenth century great social ideas and technological improvements of the time promised a new era only to show how easily high aspirations stumble over some fatigue that brought life back to its usual pace. Most people could live with that, but not the romantics. They could not contain the unrest for much better reasons than we have now. Some withdrew in a Lake District, others summoned all their knowledge about science to restore the right of the spirit to animate matter, or just believed that the spirit has not fallen victim but needs for new sensuality to seek it around.

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray In a foreign language context, grammar is always construed as an indispensable element to learn. 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. This study is an attempt to find some evidence of roles of output in L2 grammar learning. ····· 10361132423

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

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

The participants were 20 Turkish EFL students who completed the tasks in pairs of 5 and their talk was audio-recorded. The transcriptions were coded as language related episodes (LREs). The tasks were compared regarding the amount, type and nature of attention each task generated. The findings revealed that both tasks were effective in promoting the student s attention to from. While reconstructing the texts, both groups paid attention to a variety of grammar-based, meaning-based and orthographic items. However, in both tasks, grammar based episodes took the learners attention more compared to other two categories. Lastly, both tasks were effective in facilitating the students discussion on form and meaning, and at the end of their discussion, the pairs could correctly resolve most of the linguistic problems. ····· 10361131867

Extra levels of meaning created through foregrounded elements form the basis of the discussion of Peake s Gormenghast and Brontë s Wuthering Heights, and the author returns to Brontë s novel in the final chapter to consider how the use of literary allusion helps the reader to create meaning. Pratchett s use of free indirect discourse in Going Postal is explored through linguistic theories of conversational management and Paul Simpson s transitivity and modality frameworks shed light on fictional point of view in Gilman s The Yellow Wall-Paper. The author also asks whether or not form and content are inseparable in a literary text through questioning the existence of an exclusively literary language and discussing past attempts to isolate the paraphrasable element of a given utterance.

Using the principles of needs analysis, researchers have been able to identify pertinent issues with regard to writing in an academic context. 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.

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· 1 · ::::: · 2 ·· 3 ·· 4 ·· 5 ·· 6 ·· 7 ·· 8 · ::::: · 17 ·
