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

The crosscultural analysis of the texts Morrison s The Bluest Eye and Sidhwa s Water provides an opportunity to discover the differences and similarities regarding identity formation and self-objectification of women and its impact on women in the Afro-American and Indian cultures. Objectification theory assumes that women generally style the image of their physical selves in light of the observers perspective which is conveyed to them through their gazes. This leads to certain undesirable behavioral patterns such as anxiety, depression, excessive body monitoring and sense of shame. Lacanian psychoanalytic approach is also applied on female characters of the two novels with special focus on the concepts of the Mirror Stage, the Lack and the Other. This book provides new insights into the effectiveness of psychoanalytic criticism and objectification theory for a deeper understanding of the female fictional characters. ····· 10361117936

The text types which are considered here are expressive, informative and vocative text types.The results obtained showed that the quality factors which must be considered in TQA are grammar , word equivalents , Style , consistency of the vocabularies used in the translation , attending to the target language , layout of the translation , unity of the translated text , the unit of translators translation , translator s level of freedom in rendering the original text for the target readers , preserving the connotative meaning as opposed to denotative one , the extent of the translator s attending to the readership , preserving the sound effects and word plays , the extent of the translator s attending to the writer of the original text . ····· 10361117687
für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Successful translation depends largely on interpreting a text, inferencing from and predicting about it. Schemata in general and content schema in particular play a crucial role in these three processes on one hand. On the other, prospering interpretation is closely tied to common schemata between the writer and the translator. Consequently, translation process can be considered as a process of schemata transformation. It is the translator s as the reader of the source text schemata, which help her/him filling the existing gaps in a text. Viewing the translator as the reader of the source text would bring reading comprehension into focus, especially when dealing with novice translators and translator trainees. This book therefore tries to shed light on the integration of three effective factors in language learning with translation. To this end, the inter-connectivity among content schema, vocabulary size as a slight part of formal schema, and reading comprehension is identified. In addition, it would open new insights for translator trainers and trainees, curriculum and book designers, and anyone who is interested or engaged in translation and learning English. ····· 10361117681

In this book we look into the manipulative nature of mass media language and modern methods of mind manipulation used in mass media, specifically the way that mass media influence the world view of language users and the development of the language itself. The book focuses on the impact of mass media on the denotation and connotation of the meaning, the role of mass media in artificial, purposeful change of the language, and through that, the information model of the world. Here we analyze linguistic means of information management, that is the use of lexical, grammatical, syntactical and stylistic tools, which mass media resort to in order to shape public opinion. For this purpose a comprehensive analysis was implemented to the lexical units verbalizing the concept `protection`, one of the basic concepts in the cognitive space of a man and society. ····· 10361117676
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Indian Diaspora has prevailed and enriched almost every country in the world. Even in the most unlikely places you are like to find small glitters of the Indian community: a community which celebrates the festivals such as Divali, Eid and Holy and Gurunanak jayanti which represents the Unity in Diversity of India. Even so, there is one special branch of the Indian diasporic Bunyan tree which has made unique contribution to the world, the world of Literature. The reason for the writers of the Diaspora writing about India can be attributed to dictum that you can take the man out of his homeland but you can t get the homeland out from the person. A person might go far away from India but cannot get over the reminiscences, the memories and the feelings attached to the homeland because these would always be with him/her. The country of a person s origin, the native land, always has an attraction and since distances make the heart grow fonder, as the saying goes, writers of the Indian Diaspora are persuaded to write about it. This, in a way, is essential to re-establish and sustain their connectivity to their motherland. ····· 10361117643
für 88.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray La homosexualidad masculina se articuló en la literatura norteamericana en torno a dos ejes durante los primeros años de la guerra fría: las asunciones heroicas de masculinidad y la frontera como sitio y mito. La masculinidad heroica, en otros tiempos hegemónica, y la homosexualidad de los personajes que aquí analizamos se presentan unidas en una época donde el discurso médico, jurídico, publicitario y político quiso divorciarlas. Esa unión se produjo en uno de los sitios más masculinistas de la tradición norteamericana: la frontera, fuera real, simbólica o imaginaria. Estos personajes no consiguen alejarse de las posiciones patriarcales que los oprimen como homosexuales, con lo que esa masculinidad que tanto ansían abrazar queda lejos de ser garante de pleno desarrollo individual, excepto en la frontera categórica con la realidad, lo cual convierte a estas ficciones, escritas en el umbral de la posmodernidad, en una apelación a los procesos desintegradores y liberalizadores de la misma. ····· 10361116255

Although Shakespeare s comedies are, as a whole, different from those of his contemporaries and classical playwrights, they do not follow a certain pattern. Shakespeare sometimes chooses the tradition and conventions of classical comedy and manipulates them in his own way, but very often he neglects the traditional conventions and writes a different kind of comedy. Shakespeare s comedies are in many ways different from those of Jonson and other followers of classical comedy. His comedies are not satirical and they don t arouse hearty laughter. The characters in his comedies make us smile, but they do not evoke cruel laughter. This study endeavours to explore the difference between Shakespearean comedy and classical comedy, and Shakespeare s deviation from those conventions is mentioned with references to some representative comedies. What makes his comedies Shakespearean is the fundamental argument of the present study. ····· 10361116130
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book comparatively examines the gendered discourses in the novels of the writers of different sexes/genders, Robert Heinlein`s Stranger in a Strange Land, Ursula Le Guin`s The Left Hand of Darkness, Joanna Russ` The Female Man and Samuel Delany`s Trouble on Triton: An Ambiguous Heterotopia. It investigates how writers linguistically construct their characters as gendered/sexed beings as an effect of certain identity politics, ideologies and power structures. For this purpose, critical discourse analyses are applied to the extracts chosen from different parts of the novels under consideration. Butler`s performativity theory of gender and Foucault`s theory of discourse/power/knowledge and his conceptualization of subjectivity are also employed in the critical discourse analyses of the novels. The book argues that there is a close relationship between discourse, ideology and the constitution/representation of gender/sex as contingent on a particular sociocultural and historical context. Thus, writers` linguistic choices for the constructions and descriptions of their characters are not ideologically or politically innocent but imbued with sociocultural and ideological meanings. ····· 10361114541
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The present monograph addresses two focal topic areas, i.e. compliments and signposts. The first part of the study proposes a formal and functional taxonomy of a variety of language manifestations of compliments, approached here as the results of context-sensitive processes of complimenting. The strategies of complimenting are projected onto the interface of two typologically remote languages, English and Czech, with the aim to identify cross-language similarities and differences reflecting socio-cultural norms of expectations in different language communities. The second part surveys the outcomes of present-day corpus-based research and recent theorising on communicative functions of various discourse signposts used in spoken and written language, and proposes a model of a unified taxonomy, a network of discourse signposts by which to shelter formally heterogeneous but functionally comparable tokens under the roof of their shared prototypical function, i.e. to regulate communication. Selected English discourse markers are compared with their Czech equivalents with the aim to deduce conclusions applicable in translation, interpreting, and ELT. ····· 10361114521

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This is a study of literature that focuses specifically on female writers. It is based on the premise that Kenyan female writers, though prolific, have for a long time been neglected by literary critics, and even when focused upon, are lumped together with other so-called Third world female writers. Thus, the idiosyncrasies in their particular works are very often overlooked. The study seeks to correct this by undertaking an in-depth study of each of the novels explored, while at the same time using each of them to study the Kenyan society with particular attention to the situation of the woman as depicted in the texts. The novel, which in this study is the primary source, is examined as a cultural tool. Given the large number of novels that have been written by Kenyan women writers, the study uses a case-oriented methodology to select a few novels that are used as representative samples for Kenyan writing by women. The texts selected cover a long time period published from the mid-sixties, just after Kenya s independence, to the outset of the present millennium. The study is guided by theories that are drawn from postcolonial studies, cultural studies, and gender studies. ····· 10361113458

It is nowadays believed that the personality type each person possess may hinder or facilitate the process of learning or teaching language. Therefore teachers and instructors are expected to pay more detailed attention to the individuality of learners in their classes. The present research project investigated the relationship between personality type and the writing performance of English learners. A step by step process of research in this book is a truly valuable source for those who want to learn how to conduct researches in this area of research.

für 49.80€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray It is not uncommon or unexpected, in the literature on English as a Second Language Teaching and Learning (ELTL), to find that close links between theory and practice should be forged and maintained in the ELTL classroom. It can at times, however, be difficult for the practicing teacher to discover how the more theoretical considerations can become more practical. That is, how can these considerations be implemented in the classroom. At other times, it is difficult to know what exactly the theory is behind the practice being carried out in the classroom. However, as teachers become more experienced, they often discover that practice and theory can inform one another in order to ensure that the teaching is as effective and efficient as possible. This thesis is written in an attempt to demonstrate practical applications of more theoretical work, in the field of ELTL, and to clarify the theories behind the more practical elements of ELTL. It is divided into three main fields: The three fields described and explained are social constructivism, corpus linguistics, and action research. These three disciplines, or methodologies, have aroused a great dealt of interest over the past twenty years in the theory and practice of ELTL. All three are brought together, in this work, to describe an empirical pedagogic action research project conducted at Hildesheim University, in an English for Academic Purposes course, and, more specifically, for the teaching and learning of English Academic Writing (EAW). The EAW course was specifically designed for English as a Foreign Language students who are training to be state school English teachers. It incorporates elements of social constructivism, corpus linguistics, and was investigated using Pedagogical Action Research. It demonstrates that probably the best place to conduct educational research is in the classroom. ····· 10361107896

In most cases, reading imaginative texts is treated in the same way as reading other information based texts which are non-imaginative in nature. Reading imaginative texts is not just an information gathering exercise.It requires the reader to use the faculties of imagination and thinking. It involves the reader`s experiences and feelings. This book explicitly explores and recommends a transactional and communicative reading instructional approaches which are transactional, student centered and communicative based.

The colonizers generated a Eurocentric ideology by projecting the Europeans as superior and the self belonging to the centre or Occident, whereas the colonized people (of which they are a part) are shown as inferior and the other belonging to the margin or Orient. The psychological domination that took place during the period of colonization persists even today. However, many postcolonial writers have successfully reshaped and redefined the constructed image of self and other by distorting the stereotypical images of colonized people, their cultures and languages in literature. Thus, they have taken the narratives to another level by giving voice to the other and by presenting their own colonial history and the consequences of colonization to match their own purposes. This thesis intends to look at the discourse of otherness, from colonial representations to postcolonial realities of other people and languages. ····· 10361100299

It primarily protests against racial discrimination, marginalization and social injustice. At the beginning of the twentieth century, African-American writers faced a plethora of serious issues: race and class inequality challenges to morality and religion interrogations of nationalism and the continuing problem of how to achieve a truly African-American identity in the face of complicating diversity. The quest for a distinct African-American identity leads to the development of several recurring themes like rebirth and renewal, the self-made man, and the melting pot that have circulated in American literature since its inception. The African-Americans have occupied a paradoxical place of simultaneous inclusion and exclusion in the history of national literature. Although they are indeed Americans and have played a crucial role in building the United States into a world power, the legacy of slavery and the ongoing, systemic racism have excluded Americans of African descent from the existing definitions and privileges of the American self. ····· 10361100080· 1 · ::::: · 3 ·· 4 ·· 5 ·· 6 ·· 7 ·· 8 ·· 9 · ::::: · 17 ·
