The subject of my work is "The Living Death: Representation of Life Affected by Death in the Poetry of Emily Dickinson."

However, beauty as well as the feeling of happiness are short-living states, as the speaker admits herself by finishing each of them with a pessimistic view of life. In the second chapter I concentrated on Dickinson's fears and obsessions which cause her existential pain. In this...

While this book does not give the final word on the matter, it does offer a systematic analysis of one particular type of humour: ambiguity-based verbal jokes. After working out a detailed typology of ambiguity-based jokes, the author proposes a new concept of ambiguator as an ambiguity-generating device. He demonstrates that linguistic verbal jokes are funniest when maximum ambiguity is achieved with the least use of ambiguators. The author thus argues that...

If you know another language, you will be more cultured simply because this would permit you to travel more and you will know the world better. The second is because people will like you. People like people with knowledge, whom they can learn from, as long as you're not a show-off. The third is because...
