Abstract:

This paper describes a small-scale qualitative research study conducted within a community of English Language teachers, and explores how teacher development workshops can be used to foster or cultivate Communities of Practice. The study was situated in a Language Centre within the domain of UK Higher Education where there was an institutional drive to better integrate the use of new technologies with traditional approaches to pedagogy. Data was collected through focus group sessions with a team of English Language teachers before, during and after a series of teacher development workshops on

Abstract:

In the course of several centuries, Latvian personal names were recorded only in foreign-language texts and their spelling was adapted to the languages of these sources – namely, it did not reflect Latvian pronunciation. Nevertheless, it is known that since the 13th century the increasingly widespread Christian personal names (just like lexical borrowings) were adapted to the Latvian language and pronunciation. This article is looking at the Latvian personal names recorded in the substantial 1638 revision of manors in the so-called Swedish Livonia, and in the first German-Latvian diction

The global linguasphere is in a state of ecological and humanitarian crisis. In a powerful meditation in pmla, simon gikandi notes that the loss of any language (and of a culture sustained by it) is worthy of mourning and that language death around the globe is a matter of urgent collective concern. Relating great emotion when the “UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger confronted me with the bleak reality of language endangerment measured in maps, graphs, and data sets,” he ponders the ethical and political stakes of widespread language loss (9). He ends by quoting (and translating)

Abstract:

This study compares eleven verbs of letting in six Germanic and five Romance languages. The aim of this paper is to pinpoint the differences and similarities in the semasiological variation of these verbs, both across and within the two language groups they represent. The results of a Multidimensional Scaling analysis based on a parallel corpus of film subtitles show that the verbs differ along several semantic dimensions, such as letting versus leaving, factitive versus permissive causation, as well as modality and discourse function. Although the main differences between the verbs lend thems

Abstract:

Prompted by our commentators, we take this response as an opportunity to clarify the premises, attitudes, and methods of our enactive approach to human languaging. We high-light the need to recognize that any investigation, particularly one into language, is always a concretely situated and self-grounding activity; our attitude as researchers is one of knowing as engagement with our subject matter. Our task, formulating the missing categories that can bridge embodied cognitive science with language research, requires avoiding premature abstractions and clarifying the multiple circularities at

Abstract:

AbstractIn Kripke’s classic paper on truth it is argued that by adding a new semantic category different from truth and falsity it is possible to have a language with its own truth predicate. A substantial problem with this approach is that it lacks the expressive resources to characterize those sentences which fall under the new category. The main goal of this paper is to offer a refinement of Kripke’s approach in which this difficulty does not arise. We tackle this characterization problem by letting certain sentences belong to more than one semantic category. We also consider the prospect o

The case of the Twelver Shiʿi sage-mage Mīr Dāmād – famed down to the present as an occult scientist – is here especially illustrative: for he was largely responsible for this Neopythagoreanizat

French-language textbooks have long faced criticism for their limited use of authentic resources and their failure to meaningfully incorporate cultural elements into language teaching, letting foreign language learners struggle to grasp the non-literal aspects of language, known as the “invisible culture.” These hidden cultural components encompass beliefs, values, social norms, and non-verbal cues, influencing communication and language use. Experienced language users may take these elements for granted, making them challenging for learners to grasp without adequate exposure to French. Unders

Abstract:

A context-aware language model uses location, user and/or domain metadata (context) to adapt its predictions. In neural language models, context information is typically represented as an embedding and it is given to the RNN as an additional input, which has been shown to be useful in many applications. We introduce a more powerful mechanism for using context to adapt an RNN by letting the context vector control a low-rank transformation of the recurrent layer weight matrix. Experiments show that allowing a greater fraction of the model parameters to be adjusted has benefits in terms of perple

Abstract:

GP-WWM is a research programme that uses WWM (Whole Word Morphology) in morphology, Generative Phonotactics in phonology, and a domain delineation that equates the phonology module with automatic processes. In this paper, we advocate letting semiotically based mechanisms reshape the way WWM deploys its Word Formation Strategies. We propose LSSG (Language-Specific Semiotic Guidelines) packages, pitting our main proposal, the purely semiotics-driven Cohort Coherence Design for such a package, against a sketchily delineated Diglossic Equations Design.

Abstract:

This paper will discuss several Chinese text-based interactive installations from Taiwan and Hong Kong which reflect the anxiety about facing the growing influence of Simplified Chinese and the cultural power from Mainland China. As a logosyllabic script, Chinese is structurally distinctive from alphabetical scripts. However, the ideas of French Lettrism on creating art through deconstructing languages to its smallest particles and using them as objects for a new form of aesthetics and social-political struggle has similarities with some Chinese text-based interactive arts of recent years.

A major pedagogical change has been established in SMPN 18 Bengkulu Tengah, an education institution categorized as independent change supporting an independent curriculum, letting schools choose and implement learning materials that are directly related to their needs and context. However, only seventh-grade teachers are currently utilizing the independent curriculum. This study examines the responses of a seventh-grade English teacher towards the Independent Curriculum implemented at the SMPN 18, a secondary school in Bengkulu Tengah, Indonesia.

Abstract:

A domain specific language (DSL) ties the business and technical models, by letting technical developers write programs with the business domain properties. Yet, DSLs are not used due to the cost of developing them. Such cost stems from the needed expertise within both the domain knowledge and language development technicalities for any DSL engineer who would design such a language. This paper proposes a semantic-based DSL development approach that utilizes an ontology as a formal way for domain representation. The domain ontology is semi-automatically transformed into a DSL. Then, an ontology

Abstract:

Metaphors are important ways to language meaning and illustrate imaginative thinking for the healthcare disciplines. Normative ethics focus on metaphors of war, torture, and art that guide thinking in end-of-life decision-making. This article begins a discussion of novel, imaginative thinking for consideration of metaphors such as holding on–letting go as paradoxical ways of being and quality during end of life. The discussion will be viewed through a case study utilizing the philosophical, theoretical lens of humanbecoming.

Abstract:

Thinking is always the beginning of any writing project and is expressed in researching the topic at hand, letting the mind move freely between the ideas that are generated. Children often avoid thinking because they mostly rely on their memory. The report focuses on activities that stimulate junior high school students to think and therefore develop their creative abilities. Through reading, free writing, brainstorming, grouping, questioning and discussion, the aim is to present students‘ different thinking, their activity, ease and creativity. The results of scientific research show that the

This paper deals with the healing of trauma of memory and history in Joy Harjo’s two recent volumes Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings (2015) and An American Sunrise (2019). Such a task is achieved by rewriting the story from the perspective of the victimized by drawing upon themes of unison with nature, unity and fluidity of time, and music as an alternative language of nature, along with the English language, once considered a space of personal erasure, is now presented as the transformational space of naming and claiming.
