Abstract:

Ingrid Winterbach's novels especially the latest novels since Die boek van toeval en toeverlaat are characterised by an unconventional sense of humour. Although the comic aspects of her work are frequently referred to, no systematic research of the specific comic aspects of her work has been undertaken to date, despite humour being a striking part of her work. Almost everyone who conducts research on the comical reflects on the issue that any scientific study of humour usually negates the humour of the subject matter. The many divergent attempts to create a theory of humour in literature w

Both novels show strong links to the literary traditions of which they form part through a high degree of intertextuality with literary predecessors (intertexts from Afrikaans and South African English literature, but also classical intertexts emanating from the larger field of world literature).

Thesis (MA (Afrikaans and Dutch))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis is a study of Ingrid Winterbach‟s novel, Die boek van toeval en toeverlaat. The premise of the thesis is that a study of the theme of contingency or chance can lead to a heightened insight into the novel. The novel is approached from different perspectives, but in each perspective the way in which the theme of chance is developed in the novel, is illuminated. By way of introduction the history of the term “contingency” in the Afrikaans language and Western philosophy is broadly traced. This is

Abstract:

There is a general belief that British and North American EFL proficiency tests represents radically different approaches to language test development. The North American tradition in language testing is heavily based on psychometric properties of tests such as reliability, and concurrent and predictive validity, whereas the British tradition is more focused on the specification of test content and expert judgement. Language proficiency tests, in either the American or British tradition, are designed to serve different purposes, so they may not be comparable in terms of defined purposes. Never

Accordingly, it has been predicted that the TOEFL practice would have a positive impact on EAP oral ski
