Thackeray. The travelers are amongst those who are known as authors rather than travelers or explorers. Such choice is important to emphasize the line between fiction and reality. In the writings of such travelers, representation of Jerusalem is influenced by Protestant teachings by which the writers were raised. Also while depicting the city, the writers benefited from their ability to create fiction to transfer their ideas and feelings about Jerusalem. ····· 1036199014

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

Such a thorny task is achieved by approaching the 2004 U.S.A presidential debates, held between Bush and Kerry, in virtue of Grice s Cooperative Principle and maxims. The Gricean pragmatics is evidently enriching when tackling a corpus of a political nature i.e political language is demarcated by inherent manipulation since it is originally used to affect people s minds to think in a certain way as a means of helping a politician to achieve his ultimate aim usually gaining power and authority. Harmoniously, pragmatics in general, and the Gricean pragmatics in particular, are the most manipulative areas in the field of linguistics since they are primarily concerned with how people manage to say one thing and convey another which may be different or even contradictory. Hence, this research dwells upon the political maneuvering practiced by both candidates in order to prove that linguistics can virtually provide an efficient tool for decoding a political phenomenon. ····· 1036198994

This book is an effort to re-excite literary interest in the brilliant yet unique work of this unsung hero whose singular contribution to English Literature is not limited to War Poetry alone. Born around the turn of the 20th century, Rosenberg reflects a distinct individualistic streak in his poetry which is a combination of `the sacred` and `the voluptuous`. The book explores `the scriptural` and `the sculptural` aspects which shape his poetic make-up including his war poems. Its an intensive study based upon an in-depth analysis of Rosenberg`s poems, his letters and his lectures on art. ····· 1036198945

Some of these skills get introductory focus in the school and perhaps college curriculum. It is assumed that these skills are learnt unconsciously by the students and there is no need to teach them. The reality seems to be different. Only a few of the undergraduate students know how to use a dictionary and most of them don`t know how to take advantage of a library. Many undergraduates hardly have any experience of scanning an encyclopaedia. Most learners do not seem to have acquired these skills even in their mother tongue. Even the postgraduate students are very poor in the use of reference skills. The undergraduate and postgraduate students require reference skills for their academic purposes like to study their subjects of specialization and to carry out the research projects. In the light of the absence of user education at the college libraries, this book would be useful to all the students seeking higher education in the faculties of Arts, Commerce, Science, Law, Management, Engineering and Medicine. ····· 1036198631

This study offers a comprehensive method for the integration of form and content in Yeats which has not been available up to this time. A revealing 1937 statement asserts Yeats s commitment to a clear-cut correspondence between language and subject matter I need a passionate syntax for passionate subject matter. This statement has been mobilized to lay the ground for a reading of key poems that is geared toward showing how Yeats s later exploitation of spatio-temporal language and his complex syntactic patterns can enact a microcosm of his gyre-oriented concept of quest. The basic aim is to investigate the ways by which syntactic concepts like deletion, parallelism, nominalization, subordination and coordination are paradigmatically used to reinforce the quest theme. Two main classifications of iconic syntax are advanced: winding syntax where the word-order is distorted by multiple coordination of subordinate clauses and straight syntax where sentences are linear and stripped of complexity and subordination. ····· 1036198618

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The book holds that OT satisfies the requirement that any serious theory of phonology must rely on well-formedness constraints, which means it must be committed to universal grammar. This way, what marks individual or core grammar from the universal is the order in which these constraints apply. By implication,a language specific grammar therefore is but a means of resolving conflicting universal constraints. The book has also shown how the constraint ordering in SBE is re-ordered in NE, arguing that the different constraint ordering notwithstanding, these constraints are the same, and are present in each of these varieties of English. As it were, resolving these often conflicting universal constraints through ranking to scan violablility and preferences distinguishes one variety or dialect from another. This knowledge, especially the markedness between stress assignment in SBE and NE using this comparative constraint ordering approach could lead to improved teaching, learning and overall better usage of English in Nigeria if the pedagogical training is made to concentrate on the markedness instead. ····· 1036198304
für 25.00€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Among the many examples of Russian-American émigré literature, a number of less known authors moved to the USA, following their predecessors` transnational and plurilingual experiences. The bilingual (and sometimes trilingual) expressions in their works written in English invite a contrastive analysis of their transition from their source language, Russian, to their target language, English. This book explores the linguistic structure of the autobiographies of four Russian-American writers (Cournos, Nabokov, Berberova and Shteyngart) bringing into focus the linguistic `geology` of their texts, as they record their passage from a Russian world to an English one. These linguistic passages are examined from both a synchronic and a diachronic perspective, by dwelling on the geographies of the émigrés` itineraries as well as on the process of linguistic transformation that such itineraries generated. By analyzing these writers` geographic and linguistic routes, this volume engages the reader in a metalinguistic discourse and highlights the influence of these first plurilingual experiments on modern theories concerning linguistic globalization. ····· 1036194838
für 35.00€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray By employing the lens of the most recent critical studies on intermediality, the author analyses the interaction between literature and photography in three contemporary hybrid novels (Miss Peregrine`s Home for Peculiar Children by R. Riggs, 2011, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by J. Safran Foer, 2006, and The Dark Room by Rachel Seiffert, 2001) sharing the narration of traumatic historical events. The intermedial dimension realised by the confluence of the two media devices offers new ways to create meaning and to reflect upon the nature of collective and individual trauma, by re-enacting the distortion and the inaccessibility to the memories of those experiences. In this context, the reader emerges as an active participant in the process of fiction-making, as the act of reading becomes a renewed act of witnessing. ····· 1036194802
für 45.00€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Charlotte Brontë`s final novel Villette (1853) is associated with ambiguity because of its open ending: Does M. Paul return to narrator-protagonist Lucy Snowe or is he killed in a storm raging on the Atlantic Taking its famous ending as a starting point, this study explores Villette as a text in which ambiguity is all-pervasive in various ways. Among these is the narrator`s ambivalent attitude toward herself and others, epitomised in her stylistic idiosyncrasies. The links between ambiguity and doubt are explored through an analysis of Lucy`s signature phrase, `I know not,` expressive of her existential doubts and questioning attitude toward the world. The analysis moreover focuses on the motif of the oracle as a traditionally ambiguous utterance, and explores its relevance in the context of the generic tradition of Villette as a fictional autobiography. Another focus is the interplay of figurative and literal levels of meaning in the allegorical episodes, creating ambiguity. ····· 1036194761

Reevaluation of this concept has proceeded down varied stimulating paths in relation to the multidisciplinary appraisal, although philosophical aesthetic and epistemic emphases commonly reflect issues present in literature. In certain instances, texts clearly refer to sin, while in other it is more of an ambiguous and obscured notion. Alongside the established understanding of sin, discourse, poetry and novels have responded to sin variously, due to the blossoming of ideas. French, American and British literature`s responses to the notion of sin will be investigated through the academic studies included in this volume. ····· 1036194506

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray An attempt to explore the negative aspect of black motherhood in slave and neo- slave narratives, the book concentrates on Toni Morrison s Beloved (1987) and A Mercy (2008). In order to free their children from the clutches of the demon slavery slave mothers showed a negative attitude towards motherhood some of them even killed their own children. This indicates a duality of selves in them resulting in ambiguity regarding their motherhood. Sethe in Beloved and Florens mother in A Mercy are such slave mothers projecting this ambivalent nature. They act as protectors and at the same time as destroyers. In both ways, we see resistance on the part of the mothers towards their masters. They act against the institution through their denial of black lives although standing on an ambiguous position as mothers. However, this aspect is to be observed in the context of the ante- bellum era, dominated by the inhuman system of slavery which indeed is to be blamed for such a negative turn in the black mothers. ····· 1036192647

This is the first study of its kind carried out on any Pakistani language. The study examines the speech practices of rural and urban Siraiki Multanis in the home domain in the light of various demographic, social, political, and affective factors. It highlights the complex relationship of these factors with regard to change in the language use patterns of the Siraikis. The major sources of data for this study comprise of results from a matched-guise test, recorded speech of Siraikis in the home domain, and interviews. Triangulation of data and methods have been used in this research. The findings suggest that the phenomenon of Siraiki language maintenance/shift is differential in rural and urban Multan and no single factor can be held responsible for any changed or changing speech practices of the Siraikis. The conclusion argues that the attitude of the speakers towards their language is equally important in this process. ····· 1036192598
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This monograph primarily aims to offer a thorough overview of the key theoretical work in the field of idiomatology from a syntactic, semantic and socio-cultural point of view. The lexical multi-word unit of idiom is thus discussed at every level of linguistic analysis and is presented as an entity of its own lexical integrity that forms the core of the phraseological system of the English language. Given the pressing need for a clear and concrete delimitation of idiom as a linguistic term that will be used profitably as a working definition for further research into a wide range of issues in relation to the area of second language idiom acquisition in EFL and ESL educational contexts, it is hoped that the present study will function as a reference point capturing several angles of the topic. ····· 1036192583

Due to the interrelated social and cultural nature of language use, the recognised importance of an early start to language instruction, and the need to continue with effective teaching until adulthood in order to combat the later disenchantment felt by some learners, the study described in this book examines the sociocultural factors which affect the language attitudes of multilingual adolescent EFL students. In order to do this, 29 students aged between 12 and 16 years were analysed by means of a questionnaire adapted from Lasagabaster & Huguet (2007), the results indicate that such external factors as sociocultural status, a stay abroad period, and out of school exposure all have a significant effect on language attitudes.

····· lezzter Preis 44.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Since the rise of Cognitive Linguistics, prepositional polysemy has become a heated topic and invited treatments of a great number of cognitive linguists. Among them, Tyler and Evans (2003) have been holding sway with their Principled Polysemy Model , in which they develop a more constrained semantic network for over. The present study is a critique of this model. By revisiting some typical examples among the 14 postulated additional senses of over, it is revealed that it exhibits three flaws:(1) a misleading premise, which regards meanings that come about on the basis of the preposition over and other words as the basic meaning of over (2) assuming still redundant and erroneous polysemy for over (3) frequent mismatched examples. This study suggests a minimal polysemy approach and reveals the significance of tracing back to the nature of prepositional meanings in probing into prepositional polysemy. ····· 1036192229· 1 · ::::: · 5 ·· 6 ·· 7 ·· 8 ·· 9 ·· 10 ·· 11 · ::::: · 17 ·
