    Shaun Tan Broken Language Summary

    At first in the passage, Tan presents us her thoughts about English that creates a judgement base on their ways of speaking. When she is in a group of different people her English is lot different than the way she talks with her mother. Similarly, the way her mother talks to her she would understand but when her mother talk to someone they wouldn’t understand her “broken” English. Tan stated that the circumstances and struggles when her mother was ignored because how the way she speaks was not understandable. Such case, she pretended to be her mother so the stock broker could understand what was the problem. This demonstrates a person living with broken English requires another person to speak for them so their situation could be fix. Her mother’s language and her is a communication to that she was able to form who she is today. She was able to see the ignorance and the kindness of others because they would understand the struggle and meaning of a person “broken” language.…

    Chapter Summary: The Language Wars

    There is a chapter in Do you speak American by Robert MacNeil and William Cran that stands out to me and that chapter is “The Language Wars”. Doubleday Publishing published “The Language Wars” in Westminster, MD. Within this specific chapter of Do you speak American the main point that MacNeil and Cran make that stands out to me is that impact that technology is having on all languages. Language is how a person is first judged before anything else because in every situation a person’s language matters. Sheidlower’s statement “Language is what it is.” in my opinion could not be put into better words, the statement is clear that language has and will continue to change but it is what it is; there should not be the war between prescriptivists…

    Week 1 Vernacular Language

    Week one of Language and Literacy for Teachers has broadened my thinking about the English language, how vast it is and the different ways people communicate. The first, and most interesting topic for me that was brought up in week one was vernacular language. “A vernacular variety of language is the form of language people use in their “everyday” lives when they are not speaking as specialists of experts of any sort.” (Gee & Hayes, 2011, p. 8). Learning about vernacular language led me to think about and explore the different ways language can change depending on factors such as a social setting, social class or geographical location.…

    Losing a Language Explication

    W.S. Merwin immediately sets a tone for “Losing a Language” in the title, hinting at the lament-like characteristic of the poem. In fact, the title is not supposed to be a metaphor or even contain a hidden meaning that the reader must deduce by reading on. The poem is exactly what the title suggests: language and words, and thus communication, has been lost. Merwin creates a nostalgic and sad tone to emphasize the loss and quickly establishes the direction of the poem using simple diction. He carries this simple language, along with the mournful tone, into the rest of the work and does not stray from the subject. This allows the central idea, the loss of language, to not only persist throughout the piece but to become the dominant thought in each line.…

    Borderland languages

    As Author Malcolm Gladwell once said, "We learn by example and by direct experience because there are real limits to the adequacy of verbal instruction." Teaching by example goes a long way, and really helps children grow and learn. A bilingual teacher is able to communicate effectively with students while at the same time opening the door to learning a second language. This allows the students to be comfortable with their language rather feeling forced to learn a new language. This supportive type of learning and communicative environment allows the students to embrace their culture and language while moving on to learning a second language. It sets the stage for learning when teachers respond to students who speak borderland languages by allowing them to write, speak, and express themselves in their native tongue and by the teacher's ability to know and understand their language.…

    Linguistic Anthropology

    Early medieval Irish literature thoroughly discusses the ideology of kingship; the tales about kingship both acted as exemplum literature for early Irish kings and, for modern scholars, elaborate on early Irish society 's values. Although there is no specific evidence which indicates that the tales were used as exemplum, it seems fairly clear. Certainly there was literature designed to educate king 's about their responsibilities. Audacht Morainn, a letter from an advisor to a prince, was clearly designed for just that purpose. The extent of the concern which early medieval literature has for kingship and, specifically, the values of kingship, indicates that this literature was intended for the education of kings as well as for entertainment. Having good kings was certainly very important to the medieval Irish; a good king secured peace and prosperity for his land. The reasons for the likely existence of exemplum literature for kings does not, however, indicate that the ki!…

    Language and the Destiny of Man

    Abstract The article focuses on one of the most serious accusations brought against Descartes and modern philosophy, namely “the dualism of substance”. The accusers claim that the human body and soul were viewed as completely separate; consequently, their relationship as such and the united being of man become incomprehensible. As has been shown above, the idea of the separation of the soul from the body did not originate with Descartes; it was formulated much earlier, and repeated by a disciple of Descartes’, Henry Leroy, known as Regius. When Descartes became aware of this bizarre interpretation he was dismayed and sought to clarify the matter. He sought to distinguish between two terms, “distinction” and “separation” and to illuminate the relationship between body and soul at three different levels, i.e. ordinary experience, analytical mind and metaphysical meditation. Eventually, he embraced the paradox of the two natures – the double substantial make-up of the human being, a paradox of patristic inspiration. However, the later history of ideas was not sympathetic to Descartes: nowadays, when one looks up the term “metaphysical dualism” in dictionaries or glossaries, even in the studies of prestigious researchers, one will find views similar to those of the unfaithful disciple Regius. The resilience of this locus obscurus is explained both by the power of a new mode of interpreting discourse (as technical or logical analysis) and by the ever more privileged position of the reader (intentio lectoris). Both attitudes are related to modern ideologies and to changes which have occurred in the intersubjective lifeworld, especially in the communication of the scholarly and academic world. Keywords: Descartes, hermeneutics, locus obscurus, metaphysics, dualism, substance, body and soul,…

    What I Learned in English this Year

    I now feel after being a student in this class that being successful in business or school requires the ability to organize, arrange, and compose thoughts into a comprehensible format. Without these skills it is impossible to convey thoughts and emotions grammatically. Reflecting on the past eight months, I notice that our English class has taught me skills necessary to develop personal, informative, and persuasive essays. These are essential attributes needed to become successful in today?s society. In previous English classes that I have participated in I never realized that essay writing skills were so important. Because of this class, my attitude toward writing skills has matured into an understanding of what it takes to be a good writer. Without the knowledge of the importance of writing skills, I was just concerned about ?just getting by?. Now, I enjoy the challenge of composing an interesting and thought provoking essay; I find myself developing an essay with my reader in mind, and pondering what might stimulate them to read my work. This class has awakened my senses and aroused my curiosity in the literary world, and I feel I have made significant strides in my writing process. By the proper use of commas, transitions, and supportive quotes, I transform my mediocre essay into a well composed, interesting literary work.…
