Research-based Writing Instruction
ISBN: 9783639340365 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In an innovative mixed-methods, action research study, Dr. Brimi explores the effect of research- based writing instruction on the intrinsic motivation of extrinsically-motivated students. Brimi's work demonstrates how ten simple principles for teaching composition can positively affect the attitudes and performance of high school students. Brimi's research utilizes survey data, focus group commentaries, and document analysis to capture the experience of students who pursue high marks in school, but who typically do not enjoy writing. After four months of instruction guided by Brimi's...

Narrative and Visual Arts in Virginia Woolf's London Writings
ISBN: 9783639280821 / Angielski / Miękka / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is for people who are interested in literature, especially Virginia Woolf's writing and the visual arts. The reader can see how visual arts work in words, particularly writings about the city of London. With the inspiration of fine arts, Woolf's writings show a creative path, which is unique for 'her own'. The idea of 'androgyny' shows the transformation from 'binary oppositions' to hybrid textuality. This illustrates the way which Woolf uses the aesthetics of the Bloomsbury Group in writing. Woolf's 'flaneuse' shows the androgynous 'dual vision' in _Jacob's Room_. William James's...

Collocation and Preposition Sense
ISBN: 9783847314356 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 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...

Genre, Schema, and the Academic Writing Process
ISBN: 9783847326564 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From a viewpoint of discourse as the connecting middle ground between genre, register and schema, this book establishes meaningful links between these notions. 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...

A Functional Reference Grammar of Cebuano (Volume Two)
ISBN: 9783846591505 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Previous grammars of Cebuano have generally described the language in formal terms without much attention paid on actual usage. To fill this gap, this functional reference grammar of Cebuano based on the actual spoken language departs from the traditional emphasis on phonological, morphological, and phrasal description employed in most previous and even in recent reference grammars and conducts analyses at the clausal and discourse levels to better reflect the forms and functions of the language in actual use. It also describes recent research findings on Cebuano grammar, especially repair...

Intersecting Pan-Africanisms: Africa, North America and the Caribbean
ISBN: 9783847323129 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a fascinating book which addresses an important topic that remained dormant for decades not to say centuries. No previous research had analyzed pan-Africanism in a manner as complex,insightful and informative as Dr Traore does in his book. It raises in a "cutting edge" manner the problems that mined the relations between Blacks and all those who affiliate themselves in one way or the other with the African continent. The book succeeds in staying away from essentialism and skillfully drags Postcolonialim in the pan-Africanist debate and the author does that in such a magnificent...

Manipulation in Political Discourse
ISBN: 9783847311010 / Angielski / Miękka / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study introduces an attempt to scrutinize the interrelationship between language and thought; in particular, how language can shape, influence and direct thought, and how thought can be represented in language. Such a thorny task is achieved by approaching the 2004 U.S.A presidential debates, held between Bush and Kerry, in virtue of Grices 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 peoples minds to think in...

Technical Vocabulary Acquisition through Texts
ISBN: 9783847375357 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the field of second language acquisition, little attention has been given to technical vocabulary in the area of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) until recently. As a result we still know little about the characteristics of such vocabulary and how best to acquire it. This book addresses some of those issues through a corpus study of a semesters reading material for a graduate-level theology course at a theological seminary in the United States, and a case study with graduate, first and second language (L1 and L2) students studying theology.

Stress Assignment
ISBN: 9783847374374 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Stress in Moroccan Arabic, and also in other languages, poses challenging problems for phonological theory. This is due to the fact that stress exhibits conflicting properties; which makes it difficult to provide answers to a number of issues. This book provides an investigation into a prominent aspect of prosodic phonology in Moroccan Arabic (a case study of the dialect of Rabat city), namely, stress assignment in the grammatical category of verbs within the framework of optimality theory as proposed in Prince and Smolensky and McCarthy and Prince. It particularly addresses a range of issues...

Predictors of Grade 3 French immersion students' reading comprehension
ISBN: 9783639304930 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Research findings point to reading comprehension as an important mediator of academic achievement for French immersion students (Hogan, Catts, & Little, 2005). This research investigated the best predictors of word reading and reading comprehension in French as a second language in 72 Grade 3 students of an early French immersion programme. Results from hierarchical regression analyses showed that phonological awareness and spelling predicted word reading, whereas morphological awareness predicted reading comprehension of isolated sentences. Reading comprehension of a narrative text with more...

Alienatioin and Affliction
ISBN: 9783639328547 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The word Alienation has become the catch-word of today. It is puzzling and misleading term, nevertheless, it is very often used in almost every discipline-theology, psychology, sociology, philosophy and of course, in literature too. As this term is quite commonly used in a wide range of fields, naturally its meaning gets distorted and causes confusion in the mind of the reader. Such a universal usage of this term has made its meaning rather elastic and kept it open to many interpretations. This term was used to denote ideas in many American novels of the twentieth century and designate a...

Literature and the unconscious
ISBN: 9783639372564 / Angielski / Miękka / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Interdisciplinary approaches to criticism contribute to greater understanding of literary texts. The principles of psychoanalysis reveal that many opinions often expressed about African and African American literary works are interogable. Within the context of psychoanalytic principles, it is unarguable that biology and culture work together to shape the lives of individuals, and literary works which portray human actions should highlight influences of unconscious factors on characters behaviour.This study investigates unconscious determinants of disorientative behaviour in female...
