However, linguistic researches which concern this topic lack thorough analysis of pragmatic concept of verbal manipulation, its strategies and tactics in conversational discourse and linguistic means of manipulation which conditioned the actuality of research. In the present work we performed systemic descriptive analysis of the phenomenon of verbal manipulation in the conversational discourse, its strategies and tactics, as well as lexico-semantic, structural and pragmatic peculiarities of verbal means of realization of these strategies and tactics from the pragmalinguistic aspect. ····· 10361100247

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

It disambiguates the conflated relationship between genre and register by suggesting that genre texts need to be modelled out of a balance between the generic knowledge and discipline specific needs. This book also investigates the relationship between schematic and generic structure and uncovers how far RA writers are aware of the text structure they employ in their writing and indicates how these structures have been internalised as schemata. ····· 10361100041

The work has, therefore, been organized into six chapters. Chapter One surveys the views of the traditional Arab grammarians, Western grammarians and modern Arab linguists. Chapter Two presents the syntactic development of the analysis of questions from the point of view of their historical overview in English. Chapter Three introduces the broad outlines of Chomsky`s Minimalism (1995 1998 1999 2000) and question affix analysis and demonstrates how the latter works to account for the syntax of question particles in Standard Arabic. Chapter Four offers a formal treatment of question words and phrases in Standard Arabic and discusses their syntactic distribution in complement and adjunct positions. Chapter Five provides a unified treatment of the syntax of Wh- and multiple Wh-movement in Standard Arabic, English and the Slavic languages. Chapter Six summarizes the findings of the study. ····· 10361100026

It proposes an explanation for this, based on the historical development of bilingualism over time that has remained the dominant practice in English language classes in developing countries. Moreover, it seeks to understand whether teachers and the learners who do have another language draw on it in ways relevant to the teaching of English, and to suggest reasons why learners and teachers languages are disregarded in the teaching and learning process. In doing so, the book draws on key bodies of literature in bilingualism, second language acquisition and critical studies in an attempt to provide a framework for research. ····· 1036199990

Although the phenomenon of granular causality is very common in discourse, there has been very limited work for understanding it, and no work done to extract such relations from discourse. This book shows that there is a simple mechanism for capturing granular causality relations from text, and describes mechanisms for using granular causality for discovering all types of causal relations in text. The book also describes numerous real world applications of using a hierarchical (granular) causality, and provides important evidence that humans understand granular causality as easily as sequential causality. ····· 1036199903

The present study investigated the beliefs and instructional practices with respect to the use of L1 by Iranian EFL high school teachers. In general, the findings showed that there existed no correlation between the teachers beliefs and their instructional practices. However, this study found that in certain areas of teacher talk, there was a relationship between the stated beliefs and practices. Furthermore, there was a consistency between some micro- and macro- functions of language and the use of L1 by teachers. Reading this book can help non-native English teachers to reflect on their practices and beliefs regarding code-switching and the use of their learners` mother tongue in their English classes. ····· 1036199738

The sort of oppression the narrators/protagonists Fevvers and Dora Chance as well as the other female characters undergo in both novels turn out to be intrinsically related to the ideological and formal constraints traditionally imposed on genres by patriarchy. These are precisely the norms and regulations Angela Carter sets out to unveil, question and undermine so as to pave the way for new alternatives as well as different future possibilities for men and women alike. The main contribution of this book lies in its attempt to relate genre, gender and social change in order to nourish further research on the political power underlying postmodern female rewriting or reinvention and blurring of genres. ····· 1036199655

These factors include personal characteristics of learners, typological similarities/differences between the target language and the previously known languages and the context in which the language is used. Hence, the purpose of this study is to investigate the interaction between age, proficiency and task-type in determining the occurrence of lexical transfer. Specifically, the study focuses on the effect of this interaction on cross-linguistic influence in using content and function words by Moroccan EFL learners. Another objective is to investigate the qualitative difference between L1- and L2-based lexical transfer by determining the source of crosslinguistic influence: L1 Moroccan Arabic or L2 French. ····· 1036199492

It aimed to collect evidence of their instructional practices and examine the relationships between their thoughts and actions. Furthermore, it attempted to stand on the probable contextual factors that influence the transformation of beliefs into practice. All the teachers involved in this study were Arabs, teaching English language in government preparatory schools in Sharjah. In the first stage of the study, 46 in-service teachers were invited to fill in a self-report questionnaire to elicit their beliefs and classroom practices regarding grammar teaching. In the second stage, two semi structured interviews were conducted with these teachers to gain deeper understanding of their personal opinions, beliefs and perspectives. The findings revealed that teachers undeniably have a set of multifaceted beliefs regarding the eight beliefs dimensions under study including the grammar role in learning, grammar approaches, grammar practising, error treatment, the use of grammatical terminology and students` first language. ····· 1036199441

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray One of the most popular genres in the English Renaissance was the pastoral. Both poets of renown and writers of occasional verse composed poems extolling the life of simple shepherds playing their pipes in the idyllic rural surroundings commonly known as Arcadia. Delight, however, never lasts long. Pastoral poetry constantly oscillates between desire for Arcadian perfection, often embodied in the pastoral maiden, and a crippling sense of loss, absence and despair. Seeking to unlock the secret of Arcadia`s appeal, analyze the forms which the Renaissance Arcadia takes, and penetrate the causes of its frequent collapse, this study attempts a unique theoretical combination of psychoanalytical and historical insights. The study combines a primarily Lacanian understanding of desire and the effect of art with a detailed consideration of the intellectual and sociopolitical context of pastoral writing. Following a theoretical introduction, the book begins with an analysis of Spenser`s major pastoral works, continues with the comprehensive and representative Elizabethan anthology Englands Helicon, and concludes with the pastoral writings of Andrew Marvell. ····· 1036199252

They have been with us during religious ceremonies, in bars and in the shower. Songs have become an integral part of our language experience, and if used in coordination with a language lesson they can be of great value. The research, presented in this book considers a comparative study and analysis in the usage of song lyrics and the traditional more formal course book exercises in the teaching of Present Simple, Present Continuous and Past Simple tenses to year 7, 8 and 9 students. The aim of this book is to introduce the different methods of teaching English verb tenses, the use of song lyrics and music in the EFL classroom. It also focused on the reasons for using songs by demonstrating their effectiveness as a learning tool. The fact that grammar teaching may sometimes appear to be boring for certain students may make them rather unwilling to learn the grammar of a foreign language. In this situation, teachers should find some alternative, more motivating ways of teaching it. ····· 1036199251
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book explores the relationship between the sense of the prepositions over, into and through and the combined form of their preceding and following nouns, using the hypothesis that the co-occurring nouns can predict different senses of the prepositions. It uses concepts drawn from both corpus linguistics and cognitive linguistics, in particular drawing on theories of phraseology formulated by Sinclair and others and on theories of preposition meaning formulated by Langacker and Taylor. 1,366 instances of the use of the prepositions from the ICE-GB corpus were examined. The results indicate a relationship between the senses of prepositions and their co-occurring nouns together with some features of their linguistic behaviour. Over, into and through have similar patterns when their trajector and landmark are combined. The thesis draws on statistical information regarding Human, Concrete object and Abstract object classifications to explore the distribution of sense of over. It uses equivalent information relating to into and through to reinforce and amend the semantic networks for these prepositions proposed by Lakoff and by Tyler and Evans. ····· 1036199213

Accordingly, a considerable number of students develop a great concern about and negative attitudes toward writing, and avoid situations where writing is required. The treatment procedure employed in this study, which was assumed to reduce students writing apprehension, was a collaborative approach to learning. In this approach student writers work collaboratively in groups to explore, analyze, and negotiate meaning and solve problems in a non-threatening atmosphere. Therefore, this study was intended to investigate the impact of collaborative learning on L1 and L2 college students apprehension about and attitudes toward writing. Three hundred forty nine L1 students and 12 L1 writing teachers, and 77 L2 students and 3 L2 writing teachers participated in this study.

These characters are victims of either traditions or systems or psychological, maladies. They Endeavour hard to look for an identity in the society, but the system of the society is bent upon hunting them out. They are either lost in the wilderness of the concert world or vanish abruptly. The nebulous world turns to them nefarious, detrimental and victim, while reaching their identities. Their incomprehensible self annihilation and destruction is marked with passivity and ambiguity. It is an attempt by the dramatist to depict the conflict of the generations, or a class of the society. Because as a modern dramatist Pinter does not allow the audience to make up its mind so easily and keeps the audience in a constant state of tension by bringing its mind into a dialectical opposition to its feelings.

According to previous research, one area which has not been properly studied is a comparison between groups receiving feedback and a no feedback group. Therefore, to fill this gap in research, the author investigated the effect of feedback on grammatical accuracy by comparing three types of feedback: errors coded, errors underlined, and no grammar feedback. Data analysis revealed no significant differences in the improvement of grammatical accuracy in the two treatment groups. It was however found that both treatment groups outperformed the no-feedback group in editing verb and noun-related errors. However, the control group outperformedthe two other groups in correcting their article-related errors. The author concluded that even if students do not receive grammar feedback, their writing improves because of the rewriting process itself. ····· 1036199013· 1 · ::::: · 4 ·· 5 ·· 6 ·· 7 ·· 8 ·· 9 ·· 10 · ::::: · 17 ·
