Family as Metaphor in the 20th Century American Drama
ISBN: 9783659284281 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Arrival of Modernism in America is coincided with the emergence of American drama. American drama was virtually still born in the Nineteenth Century, partly because of reliance on European playwrights and partly because of the Puritan influence which did not allow it to grow. The American drama emerged with the secular and realistic society. Eugene O'Neill is supposed to be the fountain head of American drama who explored the personal theme that laid within the context of family life. Long Day's Journey Into Night, The Touch of the Poet and The Iceman Cometh are the plays that deal with...

Turtle Hearts in Iceberg Short Story
ISBN: 9783659289545 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Turtle hearts, a Hemingway metaphor spoken by the old Cuban fisherman Santiago in The Old Man and the Sea, are hearts beating long after they have been butchered.Iceberg narrative is Hemingway's metaphor to describe stories in which the bare surface-narrative is a deceptive tip.Beneath it is a huge theme of human interest, submerged and hidden.The main consideration in this book is the suffering mortals and their survival oeuvres in postwar-I Anglo-American Short Story vis-a-vis the butchery of old-world ties, experiential ruffles and existential dislocations that confront the teeming...

Developing EFL Integrative Task-based Language Assessment
ISBN: 9783659223495 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A prototype model of task-based language assessment, the Integrative Task (IT) Model, was developed as an attempt to solve the longstanding problem of generalizing the language learners' performances on particular language tasks to their future performances on the tasks at similar levels of difficulty. In the IT Model, two psychological doctrines contributed in developing the IT Model in order to be operationally defined as the two-factor constructs underlying Integrative tasks: First, the core operations identified in the eight categories of Multiple Intelligences Theory (Gardner, 1983;...

Anxiety of Influence
ISBN: 9783659289774 / Angielski / Miękka / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The road to Eliot's "The Waste Land" seems to pass through Tennyson's "Camelot." The echoes of the "Lotos Eaters" are audible in the "Four Quartets" and the influence of "Maud" on "Prufrock" seems undeniable both in overall design and in verbal details. Even in his most Eliotic moments of ironic self-mockery "Prufrock" sounds like the narrator in "Maud." Eliot's indebtedness to "Maud" is also evident in "The Waste Land." There is more of Tennyson in Eliot's poetry than mere occasional phrasing. Eliot is strikingly Tennysonian not only in imagery but also in reanimating myth as a vehicle for...

Situated Identities in Language Learning
ISBN: 9783659295713 / Angielski / Miękka / 612 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The work of identity researchers argue that current theories of second language acquisition are problematic in explaining the relationship between the language learner and the wider social world. This study examines the relationship between situated identities and constructed learning environments, and discusses the implications this relationship may have on language learners' perceptions of acquisition of English through a longitudinal case study of a group of Chinese students studying English in London. It identifies a number of recurring themes; including personal 'investment' in English,...

Linguistic Markers of Stance in Latvian Parliamentary Debates
ISBN: 9783659300165 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Based on a substantial corpus of recordings from the Latvian Parliament's sittings, this book is a detailed analysis of Latvian stance-marking phrases and expressions used in the context of political discourse. It is one of just a few available empirical analyses of contemporary Latvian spoken discourse based on authentic data and possibly the first linguistic analysis of Latvian discourse written in English. Drawing upon a significant body of scientific literature on stance categories in various languages, as well as on the methodology of critical/political discourse analysis, conversation...

The Null Instantion of the Object
ISBN: 9783659301056 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores the relationship between verbs and their arguments, a widely debated topic in linguistics, and it concentrates on the phenomenon of the so-called "null instantiation of the object," the property of some transitive verbs to leave their direct object unspecified. Research on the topic, gaining support from a revived interest in multiple argument verbs, has been frequently biased towards a particular research perspective, and null objects have been usually analysed in exclusively syntactic or semantic terms. The present work, on the contrary, assumes that null objects result...

Indigenous Voice in Literature
ISBN: 9783659301124 / Angielski / Miękka / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is a comparative study of a modern Chinese writer, SHEN Congwen (1902-1988), and a modern New Zealand writer, Witi Ihimaera (1944- ), in terms of their indigenous status. While Ihimaera's role as an indigenous Maori writer - indeed, the first Maori to have a novel published - has never been in doubt, discussion of Shen's work rarely mentions his indigenous status. In this study, it will be argued that, in his writing, he regularly identified with the Miao tribal people of Southwest China and, implicitly rather than explicitly, came to serve as their literary voice.

Manifestations of Sufism in Doris Lessing's Early Novels
ISBN: 9783659273650 / Angielski / Miękka / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Doris Lessing, the Persian-born, African-raised and London-residing writer enjoys a writing career which has spanned more than 50 years. Critics have labeled her as Marxist, feminist, Sufist and even psycho-analyst. Studies on Lessing point to a definite watershed between her pre-Sufi and post-Sufi works. It is my contention that latent Sufi characteristics are inherent in her works.To prove that even Lessings early works contain Sufi characteristics. the chapters have been arranged in reverse order by looking at her later fictions first, and then returning to her early works in the later...

Expressions of Gratitude in American English and Iraqi Arabic
ISBN: 9783659304279 / Angielski / Miękka / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Expressing gratitude is one of the most frequently occurring communicative acts in most human languages and cultures. Due to its crucial role in establishing and maintaining social bonds, this study investigates Iraqi EFL learners' realization and perception of the speech act of expressing gratitude compared cross-culturally to the performance of native speakers of American English and Iraqi Arabic. It attempts to merge two current areas of pragmatics study- interlanguage pragmatics and cross-cultural pragmatics- through the investigation of expressing gratitude behavior. To achieve its aims,...

Willingness to Communicate Among Efl Learners
ISBN: 9783838336770 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The present book reports on an empirical study aimed at examining whether EFL learners are willing to communicate when they are presented with communication opportunity and whether MacIntyre et al.'s proposed model (1998) is appropriate in an EFL context by shedding light on the relationship among communicative, socio-psychological, and linguistic variables in the Iranian context. A better understanding of students' willingness to communicate in the second language helps teachers improve their use of the communicative language teaching approach to create more communication opportunities for...

An Unsettled Hearth
ISBN: 9783844305494 / Angielski / Miękka / 436 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a study of literature that focuses specifically on female writers. It is based on the premise that Kenyan female writers, though prolific, have for a long time been neglected by literary critics, and even when focused upon, are lumped together with other so-called 'Third world' female writers. Thus, the idiosyncrasies in their particular works are very often overlooked. The study seeks to correct this by undertaking an in-depth study of each of the novels explored, while at the same time using each of them to study the Kenyan society with particular attention to the situation of the...

L2 Acquisition in the Arab World
ISBN: 9783845412269 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Language is a process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied. Even the interpretation and use of words involves a process of free creation... A good teacher knows that the best way to help students learn is to allow them to find the truth by themselves. Students don't learn by a mere transfer of knowledge, consumed through rote memorization and later regurgitated. True learning comes about through the discovery of truth, not through the imposition of an official truth." Noam Chomsky....

José Hierro
ISBN: 9783659055300 / Hiszpański / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Hay un aspecto clave a la hora de comprender e interpretar una obra literaria: la estructura comunicativa en la que se insertan las propuestas textuales. Este volumen demuestra que la poesia de Jose Hierro (Madrid, 1922-2002) presenta una coyuntura pragmatica cuyo analisis podria resultar concluyente, pues revela datos que habian pasado desapercibidos hasta ahora. Jose Hierro: Claves pragmaticas y evolucion poetica explica, desde esta perspectiva, las lineas evolutivas del poeta, las cuales se engloban en una primera epoca de raices testimoniales, para desembocar en la hondura de sus...

In the context of democratic governance, the legislature serves as the avenue for the ventilation of differing opinions and interests in an atmosphere of mutual respect and cooperation.Legislators perform this task using language to do a variety of political activities: moving motions, opposing or supporting bills, interrogating or generally doing legislation within an institutional framework requiring strict adherence to interactional and discursive formats. In this bold effort, Ayo Ayodele presents a typological framework for the description of the linguistic, interactional and discursive...

Writing Vocabulary Problems & Communication Strategies of L2 Learners
ISBN: 9783659159510 / Angielski / Miękka / 540 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite the evidence that lack of vocabulary is what contributes to making writing in a foreign language most difficult, there is currently lack of research on how words get produced as the second language (L2) learner attempts to write in L2. These lexical gap problems will prompt writers to employ communication strategies (CS) which are procedural skills that learners use to overcome the inadequacies of their interlanguage resources (e.g. approximation, circumlocution, transfer, appeal for assistance). The literature on analyzing writing CS for solving communication gap problems in L2...

Jane Porter's Thaddeus of Warsaw
ISBN: 9783659304095 / Angielski / Miękka / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work is dedicated to the British author Jane Porter and her four-volume novel "Thaddeus of Warsaw," written in 1803. Porter's novel is a romance dealing with a fictitious Polish patriot Thaddeus Sobieski, who is in fact modelled on Tadeusz Ko ciuszko - Poland's national hero. Porter presents the brutal fate of the Polish Commonwealth during the Partitions and the adventures of Thaddeus Sobieski as an immigrant in London. My work tries to shed a new light on the depth of Polish-British cultural links on the basis of Porter's work. The study also shows the 'behind the scenes' of producing...

Regulating Discourse: Compliments And Discourse Signposts
ISBN: 9783844316643 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The present monograph addresses two focal topic areas, i.e. compliments and signposts. The first part of the study proposes a formal and functional taxonomy of a variety of language manifestations of compliments, approached here as the results of context-sensitive processes of complimenting. The strategies of complimenting are projected onto the interface of two typologically remote languages, English and Czech, with the aim to identify cross-language similarities and differences reflecting socio-cultural norms of expectations in different language communities. The second part surveys the...

The eternal journey of life, the continuous quest for achieving perfection - nirvana as it is called, is the lifes ultimate goal that all of us strive for, consciously or unconsciously. There has to be a meaning to this life, a reason to this existence and a purpose even if we have not seen it as yet.
