Most often, Apology is realized by the formula (I’m) sorry, which is observed in 90% of cases studied. This formula serves to express both sincere and routine (or ritual) apology, which is determined by the degree of the speaker’s repentance for the harm caused to the listener.

Abstract:
I would like to understand the Indian Migrants’ experiences of African colonialism in the context of Kappirikalude Nattil (In the land of Kappiris); a Malayalam travelogue written by SK Pottekkatt in the 1950s. I also try to bring a comparative perspective of colonial experiences in the African and Indian contexts. Kappirikalude Nattil is a travelogue about Africa written from the perspective of an Indian writer in the post-independence period. The perception of concepts such as ‘state’ and ‘nationalism’ considerably vary for an Indian citizen who migrated to Africa which was still under Briti

Abstract:
This paper describes an innovative, three-day, turbomachinery research project for Japanese and British high-school students. The project is structured using modern teaching theories which encourage student curiosity and creativity. The experience develops team-work and communication, and helps to break-down cultural and linguistic barriers between students from different countries and backgrounds. The approach provides a framework for other hands-on research projects which aim to inspire young students to undertake a career in engineering. The project is part of the Clifton Scientific Trust’s

Abstract:
Background: The Mini Linguistic State Examination (MLSE) was developed in British English as a 20-minutes Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) screening test (Garrard, P. et al, 2012). Its tasks are: picture naming; listening comprehension of sentence; comprehension of single word; word repetition; sentence repetition; reading; writing; semantic association; and figure description. The MLSE was later translated to Italian and Spanish (Patel, N. et al, 2020) due to the following features: applicability by clinicians without expertise in language; sensitivity for diagnosis, distinction and progress
