Full textAbstract:
This article considers key words as a stimulating material for the development of wordformation skills of preschool children. Composing stories only on the basis of individual words and a title formulated on their basis is a more complex task for children, as it requires them to build a complete complete semantic structure only on its individual elements. The article presents a methodology of research on creative stories of 6–7-year-old children, produced on the basis of key words that have a common semantic field and those that do not have semantic similarity with each other. The comparative analysis of the stories takes into account the degree of creativity, expressed in the frequency of adjectives and adverbs used in the narrative. The results show that the narrative produced on key words, without a direct semantic connection between them, such as the narrative based on a fantasy binomial, makes it difficult for children and at this stage of development of thinking and imagination, are a complex task.

Full textAbstract:
In the present era, speaking in English without errors is a great challenge for the students of all ages and it is a long process to achieve it, perfectly. Speaking skill refers to the ability to convey one’s thought through words. It is advisable to develop speaking skill in English at the early stage because they can practice better with necessary language skills to succeed in later life. The purpose of the paper is to develop speaking skill in English through Short Stories. The researcher selected three short stories from “Arabian Nights”, and “Parts of Speech” was taught using these stories to speak without grammatical errors. The statistical analysis shows that there was an improvement among the experimental group students.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this research is to explain the comparison of diction in classical and modern short stories. Short stories, as the name suggests, are short stories, requiring concise storytelling, without going into special details that are more likely to lengthen the story. This type of research is qualitative research because the data is in the form of a description of the comparison of classic and modern short story diction. In a short story, a piece of a character's life is told which is full of conflict, a touching or enjoyable event and contains an impression that is not easily forgotten. According to Muhardi and Hasanuddin WS (1992: 10-11) in novels and short stories both use the reverse highlighting technique. In short stories, flashbacks often deceive readers because they cannot be digested immediately, sometimes readers have to read more than once to make it easier to digest. Meanwhile, in novels the reverse highlighting technique is easier for readers to recognize. Classical and modern short stories are literary works that have differences. This difference can be seen and studied from the way it is distributed, namely that classical short story literary works develop from social culture, but are not bound by customs and modern short story literary works are usually written in books, bloggers and other intermediary media. The conclusion shows that the diction form of Modern Short Stories is more practical in choosing words, more in line with the general understanding of modern readers. Use words that are more current and widely known. And tend to choose classic words, with the use of words that are less common or ancient; Using appropriate diction and language style can develop children's imagination and knowledge of language.

Abstract Anna Vörös’s collection of short stories, Vadoma (2022), offers a completely novel perspective on refugees in contemporary Hungarian literature. The collection focuses on Vadoma, a young refugee girl of Syrian origin, who is the first-person narrator of most of the short stories. The reader can follow the young girl’s path from Aleppo to Budapest as she faces dilemmas and problems. The main issue of our hero is the fact that she is stuck between two worlds, as her old life and city of origin do not exist anymore, but Budapest has yet to become her home. Her mother tongue and words are no longer enough to express her experiences, but she has not learnt a new language yet. Mariangelo Pallodino’s concept of “islandment”, which refers to landing without arrival, expresses Vadoma’s situation perfectly. The present study examines whether Anna Vörös’s short stories can be read in the context of refugee literature, and it looks at how the figure of the refugee appears in them. Special attention is paid to the themes of cultures, religions, languages, and the in-betweenness of identities.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined Quick Incidental Learning (QUIL) of novel vocabulary by two groups of school-age children, those who were developing language normally and those who demonstrated a specific language impairment (SLI). The experimental items consisted of 20 words that referred to one of four semantic classes: object, attribute, action, and affective state. Videotaped stories were used to introduce the novel words, and word learning was measured by a picture-pointing task. For the normally developing children, the results documented a robust ability to learn words in the early school years. Comprehension gains were observed for all four word types, with the greatest gain made on the object labels. The children with SLI also demonstrated some word-learning ability, but their gain was significantly less than that of their normally developing peers. Although the general pattern of word effects was similar across the two groups, the children with SLI demonstrated a particularly low gain on words from the action class.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to reflect on “Finding the sparkle: storytelling in the lives of people with learning disabilities”, Nicola Grove's paper highlighting the power of the story as one approach to empower people with intellectual disability. Design/methodology/approach – This commentary reflects on the power of personal story sharing as a way to empower people with intellectual disability, value their experience and promote inclusion. Findings – Personal stories are important because they help both ourselves and others understand who we are. Stories are not static and stories can be told from different perspectives. Telling stories can be protective and healing. Originality/value – Communication that develops social closeness is important and can be undervalued. There needs to be a greater focus on ensuring people without words can tell their stories and on services recognising the importance of this.

In our new column, “In Simple Words,” we will publish materials that, as the title states, are written in simple words, without trying to be “scientific”. These articles are more like essays, representing their authors’ views and reflecting socially significant topics. “Real people, real stories, real us,” that’s what Elena Kim and Asya Belyaeva, creators of Moscow-based “This Is Us” community theater, say about themselves. Community theater is a new concept in performing arts, but numerous experts have already noticed its therapeutic power. Here, viewers tell their stories and see them immediately come to life on stage, thus becoming co-creators of the performances. This opinion piece by Elena Kim describes how and why community theater works and how it presents a model of the world and our relationships in the world.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This study aims to provide a holistic understanding of how visual storytelling influences the objective and subjective cognitive responses of consumers, namely objective aesthetic impression and subjective aesthetic association, and aesthetic judgments in response to differing levels of novelty in design innovations. Design/methodology/approach A mixed-factorial experimental study manipulating the novelty of chair designs (moderate/high) and visual design stories (present/absent) was conducted among 263 female US consumers to test the proposed research model. Findings With respect to the main effects of novelty and visual design stories, consumers had more positive cognitive responses and aesthetic judgments to: product designs with moderate (vs high) novelty; and products with visual design stories than without. A significant interaction effect uncovered that visual design stories particularly aided products with high (vs moderate) design novelty with respect to objective aesthetic impressions. Examination of the structural relationships between the variables revealed that subjective aesthetic associations mediate the relationship between objective aesthetic impressions and aesthetic judgments. Practical implications To mitigate risk in radical design innovations, marketers should use visual storytelling to communicate product form associations and enable consumers to successfully decode the meaning of novel designs during initial encounters. Originality/value By examining a holistic model involving both perceptual and conceptual product concepts, this study fills a critical research void to develop insightful implications on bridging the gap between novel product designs and consumer understanding.

Full textAbstract:
On the topic of syllabification, the types of writing and the changes that writing goes through are compared based on the stories told by Tolkappiyam Nannool. In the Tamil grammar which was followed in the Initial method, the grammar was heavily concerned with punarchi. Just as syllabify is related to verbal grammar, it can be seen in Tolkappiyam and Nannool grammar books that devote a large part of syllabify in written grammar. In this way, it is necessary to find out about the stories that are included in the two books, Tolkappiyam and Nannool. The syllabify is one of the characteristics of Tamil language. As words continue, they join each other naturally without change and subject to deformation. This pattern is one of the main reasons why words need to be added and separated. The combination of the final letter of the adverb and the initial letter of the adverb is called Eluttu punarchi. The stories about Punarchi are told in six iyaals such as Tolkappiyam Punarial and in three iyaals such as Nannool Uyirirru Punarial. The aim of this study is to compare the rules for writing in the works mentioned in these two grammar books.

Full textAbstract:
Adults often learn new meanings for familiar words, and in doing so they must integrate information about the newly-acquired meanings with existing knowledge about the prior meanings of the words in their mental lexicon. Numerous studies have confirmed the importance of sleep for learning novel word forms (e.g., “cathedruke”) either with or without associated meanings. By teaching participants new meanings for familiar word forms, this is the first study to focus exclusively on the specific role of sleep on learning word meanings. In two experiments participants were trained on new meanings for familiar words through a naturalistic story reading paradigm to minimize explicit learning strategies. Experiment 1 confirmed the benefit of sleep for recall and recognition of word meanings, with better retention after 12 hours including overnight sleep than 12 hours awake. Experiment 2, which was preregistered, further explored this sleep benefit. Recall performance was best in the condition in which participants slept immediately after exposure and were tested soon after they woke up, compared with three conditions which all included an extended period of wake during which they would encounter their normal language environment. The results are consistent with the view that, at least under these learning conditions, a benefit of sleep arises due to passive protection from linguistic interference while asleep, rather than being due to active consolidation.

Full textAbstract:
Provincia Iudaea is a supplementary reader for beginning and intermediate Latin students. It includes three stories set in first-century Judaea. The stories explain the confrontation between Romans and Jews at this time. The first story unfolds through the eyes of the main character, a young Jewish girl named Eliana. After the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, Eliana and her mother escape to Masada. Many years later, 132 CE, another character, Naomi, completes the narrative about the final struggle between Romans and Jews during the Bar Kochba Revolt. The book concludes with Hadrian's proclamations. Illustrations abound in this reader, giving students an anchor for understanding the narrative. Vocabulary is provided on facing pages so that students can read without the burden of looking up words. Some words appear in the dictionary entry format, whereas others are simply glossed. The reason for this is not to burden students with grammatical details

The students' storytelling ability after using hand puppet media, the material retells the children's stories that were heard using the second grade students' own words. The validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the hand puppet media were used in the material for retelling children's stories that were heard using the second grade students' own words. This study uses a research development (R & D) procedural model with Borg and Gall development procedures. The research subjects were 31 students of class II SDN 1 Sombron, Kediri, by giving tests to students through pretest and posttest research techniques by providing instruments in the form of 4 psychomotor test questions, namely storytelling. The conclusions of this study are: (1) The process of developing hand puppet media is easy to do with creativity and new innovations to make it look more attractive to students. (2) The ability of students to retell the story they have heard using their own words after using hand puppet media increases. The results of the pretest obtained an average score of 81.2 students, while from the posttest results the average score of students was 86.8 (there was an increase of 5.6). From the test results, it can be said that the use of hand puppet media is effectively used in Indonesian language lessons with the material of retelling children's stories that are heard using their own words because students are more active and enthusiastic in learning activities. (3) Validation carried out by material experts and media experts got a score of 85.285% so that it can be stated that the development of hand puppet media is very valid, very effective, very complete, can be used without improvement.

Full textAbstract:
In two ERP experiments we investigated how and when the language comprehension system relates an incoming word to semantic representations of an unfolding local sentence and a wider discourse. In Experiment 1, subjects were presented with short stories. The last sentence of these stories occasionally contained a critical word that, although acceptable in the local sentence context, was semantically anomalous with respect to the wider discourse (e.g., Jane told the brother that he was exceptionally slow in a discourse context where he had in fact been very quick). Relative to coherent control words (e.g., quick), these discourse-dependent semantic anomalies elicited a large N400 effect that began at about 200 to 250 msec after word onset. In Experiment 2, the same sentences were presented without their original story context. Although the words that had previously been anomalous in discourse still elicited a slightly larger average N400 than the coherent words, the resulting N400 effect was much reduced, showing that the large effect observed in stories depended on the wider discourse. In the same experiment, single sentences that contained a clear local semantic anomaly elicited a standard sentence-dependent N400 effect (e.g., Kutas & Hillyard, 1980). The N400 effects elicited in discourse and in single sentences had the same time course, overall morphology, and scalp distribution. We argue that these findings are most compatible with models of language processing in which there is no fundamental distinction between the integration of a word in its local (sentence-level) and its global (discourse-level) semantic context.

Full textAbstract:
Background In the absence of explicit memories such as the recall and recognition of intraoperative events, memory of auditory information played during general anesthesia has been demonstrated with several tests of implicit memory. In contrast to explicit memory, which requires conscious recollection, implicit memory does not require recollection of previous experiences and is evidenced by a priming effect on task performance. The authors evaluated the effect of a standardized anesthetic technique on implicit memory, first using a word stem completion task, and then a reading speed task in a subsequent study. Methods While undergoing lumbar disc surgery, 60 patients were exposed to auditory materials via headphones in two successive experiments. A balanced intravenous technique with propofol and alfentanil infusions and a nitrous oxide-oxygen mixture was used to maintain adequate anesthesia. In the first experiment, 30 patients were exposed randomly to one of the two lists of 34 repeated German nouns; in the second experiment, 30 patients were exposed to one of two tapes containing two short stories. Thirty control patients for each experiment heard the tapes without receiving anesthesia. All patients were tested for implicit memory 6-8 h later: A word stem completion task for the words and a reading speed task for the stories were used as measures of implicit memory. Results The control group completed the word stems significantly more often with the words that they had heard previously, but no such effect was found in the anesthetized group. However, both the control and patient groups showed a decreased reading time of about 40 ms per word for the previously presented stories compared with the new stories. The patients had no explicit memory of intraoperative events. Conclusions Implicit memory was demonstrated after anesthesia by the reading speed task but not by the word stem completion task. Some methodologic aspects, such as using low frequency words or varying study and test modalities, may account for the negative results of the word stem completion task. Another explanation is that anesthesia with propofol, alfentanil, and nitrous oxide suppressed the word priming but not the reading speed measure of implicit memory. The reading speed paradigm seems to provide a stable and reliable measurement of implicit memory.

Eight pseudowords were presented to 29 undergraduate students within the context of four brief passages. Students were instructed to do one of three things: (a) learn the details of the stories, (b) learn both the story details (high priority) and the spellings of the pseudowords, or (c) learn both the word spellings (high priority) and the story details. Instructions to learn word spellings led to significantly better spelling performance without significantly affecting passage comprehension; however, even those students instructed to make the learning of word spelling a higher priority spelled only a mean of 4.9 of the 8 words correctly. The need for determining why students have such difficulty in learning to spell new words is discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the means of creating humor in folk tales about comic stories from rural community life, which usually have a clear structure (framing, content, author's remarks) and resemble stories of literary origin. They tend to have a detailed description of events, and they often have a comedic situation. Linguistic means of creating humor in folk tales are successful epithets, words with expressive meaning, verb with bright connotative meaning, repetitions. The narrators play a significant role in conflicting dialogue, in an ironic way. In situational jokes, the nature of the comic is related to the situation itself, the addressee understands humor not through the interpretation of linguistic signs, but through the direct perception of an event. The linguistic elements of such jokes are purely elements of the incident. They function just like hero actions or dynamic changes. Such linguistic elements do not create the jokes contained in the joke; they simply convey to the addressee certain information necessary to create comic potential, pointing to a particular aspect of the situation without providing assessment or interpretation. Oral dialect stories about ridiculous stories from the life of the rural community have a clear structure (framing, content, author's notes). These are narrative narratives in which it is easy to distinguish the cause, the plot, the action, the climax, the plot that brings them closer to the stories of literary origin. They tend to give a detailed description of events, the transmission of the smallest details, they are often comedic in the situation itself, the event, the behavior of the villager and so on.The means of expressing humor in folk tales are successful epithets, words with expressive meaning, verb with bright connotative meaning, repetitions, description of the appearance of the actor and listeners, paraphrases, etc. The narrators play a significant role in conflicting dialogue, an ironic expression that often becomes key and plays a major text-making function.

This article discusses the role and importance of the riddle genre in representing real basis. The sense that everyone should speak or listen to the riddle, and that subsequent generations have the value of riddles as a tradition, has been relevant to instill in the stories of Shukur Kholmirzaev. For example, the epigraph to the story is, “Sweet, sweet, what is the sweetest? Everybody responds to the mystery hidden question with the words "child." In the stories of Shukur Kholmirzaev, we can see that the story began as soon as it was epigraphized with the answer of “water”. Indeed, it is impossible to live without water. But there are also families with no children. The fact that proves real value of the riddles in education and upbringing is thought-provoking nature of the genre and the comparison of Altai people and the riddles of the Uzbek people.

"Syed Insha is a famous Urdu poet and prose writer. He was born in Murshidabad, India. His father's name was Mir Mashallah Khan. Syed Insha's grandfather was Mir Noorullah Hakim. Belonging to a scholarly and literary family, he spoke Turkish, Hindi, Arabic, Persian, European, Pashto, Punjabi, Kashmiri and Bengali fluently. Thanks to this linguist, he worked in prose. In prose Syed Insha wrote two stories. In both of them, he had two different experiments. In the story of Rani Ketki, Insha did not use any words of Persian and Arabic. For him Urdu is a separate language apart from these two languages and without the use of these two languages, excellent writing can also be written in Urdu. In Silk -e- Gohar he used words that not have dots that is, he wrote the story with pointless words. Both these experiences of Syed Insha are valued in Urdu literature. Because no other literature has adopted this style."

Full textAbstract:
Objectives. To examine narrative writing in cochlear implant (CI) children and understand the factors associated with unfavorable outcomes.Materials and Methods. Forty-five CI children in grades 2–6 participated in this study. They received CIs at 4.1 ± 2.1 years of age and had used them for 6.5 ± 2.7 years. A story-writing test was conducted and scored on 4 subscales: Total Number of Words, Words per Sentence, Morphosyntax, and Semantics. Scores more than 1.5 SD lower than the mean of the normal-hearing normative sample were considered problematic. Language and speech skills were examined.Results. Significantly more implanted students were problematic on “Total Number of Words” (p<0.001), “Words per Sentence” (p=0.049), and “Semantics” (p<0.001). Poorer receptive language and auditory performance were independently associated with problematic “Total Number of Words” (R2=0.489) and “Semantics” (R2=0.213), respectively. “Semantics” problem was more common in lower graders (grades 2–4) than in higher graders (grades 5-6;p=0.016).Conclusion. Implanted children tend to write stories that are shorter, worse-organized, and without a plot, while formulating morphosyntactically correct sentences. Special attention is required on their auditory and language performances, which could lead to written language problems.

The present article is devoted to the problem of commenting on medieval chronicles (on the example of the Old Spanish Estoria de España by Alfonso X the Wise, 13th с.) and the need not only to search for the sources of certain large and small stories, but also to explain the choice of words, naming, and the mechanism of putting together various stories from the point of view of the problem of truth/fiction (verdad /fabula) in the perception of the medieval chronicler, for whom an important goal is to present his story as truth and to make it compelling for the listener and reader. As an example, we examine the well-known chronicle story about the genealogy of the Huns (Jordan, St. Jerome, Sigebert of Gembloux), refined and edited by the editors of the Spanish chronicle, as well as two etiological legends about the origin of significant toponyms and the founding of the most important cities of Spain (the legend of the marriage of Liberia, daughter of Span; the legend of King Rocas). The studied stories have shown that the task of creating a reliable story is achieved either by deliberately creating a new, unknown narrative (the stories of Liberia and Rocas) without a clearly identifiable source, or by consciously clarifying and changing traditional information (satyrs as progenitors of the Huns).

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The scholars included in this special issue of ALH reveal not an ideology but a method—a method that depends upon the novel. Many of the scholars here suggest that by reading novels—and, in particular, by reading them well—we might extend the horizon of democratic possibility. The present essay agrees. Indeed, it suggests that novels extend the horizon of democratic possibility in three important ways: by enabling readers to think deeply about the relationship between incommensurate goods; by accounting for the role of emotion in shaping values; and by enabling readers to process and react to the inevitability of change. Ultimately, this essay suggests that novels have a role to play in fostering democratic values.As free people, we make choices about the individual and collective direction of our lives. And, in deciding, we need the examples and stories of others. We need, in other words, stories about lives lived meaningfully or unmeaningfully, with dignity or without it.

Full textAbstract:
The spiritual enjoyment that literature brings to you is not only due to the beauty of the words, the twists and turns of the plot, but also due to the skillful writing of the author, as can be seen from Hemingway’s many short stories. The novel "The Killer" is full of character dialogue, without too much environmental and psychological description, and Hemingway’s iceberg theory is shown vividly in it. From the perspective of pragmatics, this paper analyzes the characters’ dialogues, interprets the characters’ images and reveals the themes of the novel by using the principles of cooperative and politeness.

Full textAbstract:
From “Fa'afafines,” (the third gender of Samoa) living in housing projects to teen fathers raising their children, Jean Melesaine’s photographs tells the stories of Pacific Islanders in urban California diasporas. For many of the younger generation in the United States, the complexity of multiple identities is etched in to their skin. For instance, on a drunken night in a garage, a young Samoan man gets the traditional “tatau” (tattoo) symbols of “ancestors” without knowing the symbol’s meaning, his “Blood Killer” tattoo for the Crip gang he belongs to, and the words “Sa'moa,” meaning sacred center, share the same map on his body.

Full textAbstract:
Understand the messages in Macapat Song very difficult. This is due to that the lines in the Macapat Song contain poetic words, philosophical words, and full of meaning. To understand the message in the Macapat Song correctly, one must have extensive knowledge of the philosophy of life and a strong understanding of religion. So instead, preaching in churches and on religious fellowship less attractive, if delivered without any ballad suitable for listeners. For the Javanese, a ballad that touches their hearts is Macapat Song, because the ballad closely with customs and their culture. Therefore, understanding the Macapat Song would be perfect if assisted with the illustrations of the stories and teachings of Jesus in the Gospels. Macapat Songs and teachings of Jesus in the Gospels is a symbiosis mutualism because both have a mutually beneficial relationship.

Abstract: All it was (he said for the thousandth time), was a plateau time for speculative fiction. A new generation of writers needed fresher ways to tell more relevant stories, and without benefit of salon, left bank, coffee house or writers' colony, individual talents of all ages, several sexes, many different backgrounds and disciplines caused a self-fulfilling prophecy. They caused to be created forums in which they could do what they longed to do. That it happened almost at the same time on both sides of the Atlantic, with over a hundred different writers--many of whom had no connection with their sf brothers and sisters--should be proof enough to even the most concretized of sf's observers.

Full textAbstract:
The present study investigates the effect of the explicit instruction of formulaic sequences in pre-writing vocabulary activities on foreign language writing. To this end, a total of 81 Saudi pre-intermediate learners of English as a foreign language participated in a 10-week study of a pretest/posttest design. In every 2-hour session of a total of 10 sessions, the participants were required to read a news story and then re-write it individually without looking back at the original story. During the treatment period, the participants received different pre-writing vocabulary practice. One group, consisting of 44 students, practiced individual words in the news stories while the remaining 37 students studied formulaic sequences in the new stories before re-writing the stories in their own language. Analyzing the students’ writing showed that the explicit instruction of formulaic sequences led to an increased use of the sequences in students’ writing. The results also partially supported a positive influence for the explicit instruction of formulaic sequences on the learners’ lexical choices and overall writing quality. The practice provided on formulaic sequences in the study did not, however, result in any significant improvement in the learners’ use of formulaic sequences in autonomous story re-writing. Relevant pedagogical implications are proposed.

I can't tell the most frightening story I know, because stories are made of words, and once I was without them. I was trekking in Nepal and ended up with amnesia. Later I stumbled into a mission hospital with a bruised jaw. A bad fall? I can't say. I had no words. No words for this thing that was wrenching and crying, in which “I” - a bundle of terror - seemed trapped. No words for where I began, stopped, or the mud stubble terrace on which I sat. No words to map, no words to define, no words to possess. No words for the blobs of light and shadow shifting or parking before me. No words to rank or relate the garbage - my own memories - blasting against my consciousness, randomly, insistently. Names shouted inside my head - my family, my lover, my own name; places - my hometown in America, the name of the mission hospital I'd eventually find my way to. An eleven-thousand foot mountain rose in front of me. A backpack pulled at my shoulders. A Nepali woman stroked my arm. I had no words to weave any of these into a safety net of story or meaning. All were uncontrollable, unpredictable, stimuli, which somehow, suddenly, had complete, and therefore sinister, power, and struck again and again against - some other thing - me - a thing I couldn't name or inhabit, for I had no words. I remember this sensation now when I want to know what it must have been like for my immigrant mother when, as an eight-year-old Slovak peasant child, she first arrived in America in 1929.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic not only affected the health of people across the world, but also triggered a multitude of different positions, ideas and conceptualisations that were disseminated via different communication media. This has given rise to an overabundance of communication, often referred to as an infodemic. The result has been the inception of a number of different (political) positions that resorted to different stories and storytelling techniques. These included traditional metaphors used with a different meaning, new narrative techniques and new terminology. The variety of stories contributed to the creation of a system of conceptualisations which, conversely, generated new linguistic forms, thus creating a type of circle of linguistic and cognitive innovation. The new conceptual systems can be represented as a system of frames à la Fillmore (1985) and are the basis for of an autonomous cultural perspective. In the light of this assumption, some aspects of this overwhelming wave of information are analysed, without any possibility of being exhaustive, bearing in mind that the pandemic is not yet over. An important phenomenon that can be already observed is the globalisation of stories, myths and language. Stories and words that originated in one country are transferred immediately to other countries, at least within a given area, the one with advanced capitalism. This is probably due not only to the vast use of social media, but also to a common culture that makes certain given conceptualisations acceptable by the societies involved. This is a good example of cultural globalisation.

This study uses the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) algorithm for the POS Tagging process. Treatment for unknown words uses the Most Probable POS-Tag. The dataset used is in the form of 10 short stories in Javanese consisting of 10,180 words which have been given the Javanese tagset. In this study, the POS Tagging process uses two scenarios. The first scenario is using the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) algorithm without using treatment for unknown words. The second scenario uses HMM and Most Probable POS-Tag for treatment of unknown words. The results show that the first scenario produces an accuracy of 45.5% and the second scenario produces an accuracy of 70.78%. Most Probable POS-Tag can improve accuracy in POS Tagging but does not always produce correct labels. Most Probable POS-Tag can remove zero-value probability from POS Tagging Hidden Markov Model. The results of this study indicate that POS Tagging using the Hidden Markov Model is influenced by the treatment of unknown words, vocabulary and word label relationships in the dataset.

Full textAbstract:
This article chronicles three stories selected from a post-intentional phenomenological study conducted by the first author. The authors aim to investigate affective connections in children’s silent play by addressing three research questions: (a) How do children engage in dialogue with the teacher, their peers, and the material environment without words? (b) What emotions are produced in silent play? and (c) What changes in children’s affective connections occur through silence? We drew on the notion of intentionality in post-intentional phenomenology to illuminate meanings of the phenomenon for individuals about what they felt and experienced. With a focus on intentionality, we delved into the ways children meaningfully communicated with others and connected to the environment in their unspeaking moments. We also took on a posthuman notion of intra-actions to rethink silence as an inaudible yet sensible sound communicated between children and things. The prior studies showed that children’s silence was a mode of expression. Through storying the silent play-stories, we offered two alternative meanings of silence––intra-active communication with people and things and inaudible inner wellbeing, in addition to a mode of nonverbal expression as identified in prior studies. The findings are significant in enriching and renewing our understanding of children’s silence in inclusive ECE environments. Silence is re-defined as a mode of embodied communication and affective connections. This article invites researchers and educators to genuinely “listen” to children’s stories, even in silent play.

When the students are able to identify derivational affix, they can develop their vocabulary because from just one word it can gain many words with different part of speech. Novel is a long essay in prose and contains a series of human life stories with others around them with accentuate the character and nature of the actor. In The Hobbit, the story inspired by a children fantasy. From having seeing such phenomenon, the writer found that mastering English is not easy if the students are lack of vocabulary. This research aimed to find out the derivational affixes in in in The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien novel. This research is descriptive qualitative research where researcher tries to find out the derivational affix and the roots from the words in The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien novel without using statistical calculation. In this research the writer uses all of words that are attached prefix and suffix as the data. The data source is all the chapters which are the beginning of the story, rising the case and the solution in The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien novel. The result of analyzing data was gained the derivational affixes that found in in The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien novel showed words are 100 (derivational suffixes).Then the roots from the words that also found are 27 (adjective derived from verb), 49 (noun derived from verb), 3 (verb derived from noun) and adverb derived from adjective (21)

<p class="western" align="justify">Considered as one of the possibilities of performing arts, the classical ballet can be understood as a way in which stories depend on characters who, without the use of words, enact stories which are typical of the traditional repertoire. This text aims to discuss issues related to the body of the scene, the scenic body of the artist in classical ballet. In order to do so, we conducted a qualitative investigation and used the observation of ballet shows and ten semistructured interviews with Brazilian professional dancers as investigation techniques. The testimonies of the classical professional dancers were the material that allowed the analyzes of the speeches. Based on the analyzes, we highlight the following results: the existence of a prestigious imitation among the dancers who were interviewed; the existence of an “extracotidiano 1” body in classical ballet; the existence of explicit and implicit techniques in ballet. The study is based upon a theoretical perspective that takes not only the body of classical ballet and its techniques, but the human body itself and its techniques as sociocultural reality, produced in culture, according to rules and values defined by this reality and the social field that builds them.</p>

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to examine the impact of manner adverbs on the gestural embodiment of actions that are described by literal and metaphoric sentences. We asked a group of participants to read and then orally retell four stories. Each story had two versions. In one version, literal and metaphoric sentences describing literal and metaphorical actions did not include manner adverbs. In the other version of each story, the same sentences included a manner adverb that provided more information about literal or metaphoric actions. Participants’ reproductions of stories were recorded with a camera and were analyzed to make a comparison between gestures that accompanied sentences that included a manner adverb and sentences that did not include a manner adverb. The results showed that when literal and metaphoric sentences included a manner adverb, there was a higher probability of using a gesture than when these sentences were used without a manner adverb. In other words, using a manner adverb increases the probability of using a gesture with literal and metaphorical sentences. Therefore, it is suggested that adding a manner adverb to a literal or metaphoric sentence can strengthen the process of embodiment of the action described in that sentence. We present two explanations for this observation.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article addresses the paradox of the Bible’s reception in the Babylonian Talmud: that despite the Bible’s centrality to many of the discussions and stories in the Talmud, the Talmud ultimately recontextualizes the Bible by creating a new version of the Jewish study canon. It argues that this paradox cannot be understood without recognizing that there are essentially two different concepts of the Bible held by the late rabbis; that is, a material Bible and a memorized Bible. The Bible makes an appearance in the Talmud as a physical object or set of objects, composed of words on parchment, and consisting of a specific collection of works, which are accorded special status. However, the Bible as a memorized study text plays a different role in Talmudic hermeneutics, in which the redactors of the Talmud present the Bible in atomized form as one of many sources that are all subject to the same type of discussion and interpretation. By analyzing the complexity of the Bible’s role in the Talmud, this article stakes a middle ground between the argument that the Talmud and other works of rabbinic literature are in some fundamental sense part of a continuous line of revision and commentary that dates back to the earliest forms of inner-biblical exegesis; and, on the other hand, the position that the rabbis either are uninterested in or represent an active rupture from modes of reading the Bible.

The article investigates British English and its various accents, in particular from the point of view of identifying characters’ social class, education, life activities in the most famous screen adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyle's detective stories about Sherlock Holmes. The adaptations of «The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes», «Without a Single Clue» and «Sherlock», reflecting different eras, were taken into account. The first two adaptations take us to Victorian Britain, which has its own phonetic peculiarities: the «correctness» of speech is a sign of the speaker's aristocracy or wealth, and a specific accent and the use of dialectal contractions are features of the middle and lower classes. It has been proven that Victorian speech is much easier to understand because of the intonation, which forces you to drawl and pronounce words clearly. The BBC TV adaptation «Sherlock» takes the characters into the present. Intonation still plays a significant role in the characters' speech, but the pace of speech has become much faster compared to the Victorian era. For a modern native speaker, it is quite common to «swallow» words, pronounce them partially or shorten them.

Full textAbstract:
The stories woven in these tell-tales of women are enveloped with the responsibility of the stories as testimonies of trauma which need attention and focus. The theme of displacement and estrangement are seen in these texts. According to Freud, when one witnesses a truth which is not available to them, the other and the subject are to bear the testimony. This other, subject or the listener become the witness of the trauma. The regular lives of the characters are enveloped with traumatic events. These survivors, the mere witnesses to the brutality cannot explain their experiences in words. They sometimes get into the guilt of forming a false memory due to silence which completely distorted their memory. They reach the saturation point wherein they are unable to explain the situation they are dealing with. Looking at a different perspective, this silence functions a secured wall for them, as they live in this enclosure without any past memories or may be distorted memories of past. Once they step out of this wall, they relive the disaster again in their distorted memories of past. This paper examines various female characters within their geographical settings, dwelling in the patriarchal society, limited to the horizons set by the dominant males, their thought processes and patterns, aspirations, feelings, beliefs and ultimately their own way of looking at life. My research focuses on few observations of portrayal of women and their subjection in the patriarchal domain in the selected short stories of Arupa Patangia Kalita with a view of exploring the female characters and their responses to their circumstances amidst the conflicting themes of identity.

Full textAbstract:
Towards the end of The Horse and His Boy, as Shasta wanders blindly into Narnia, he unknowingly encounters Aslan, who explains to him the various ways that Aslan has watched over him dating back even to the boy’s infancy. It is a beautiful account of Aslan’s care for Shasta. If one were to focus exclusively on this passage, however, one might conclude that Narnian providence is merely a matter of external divine intervention and that creaturely agency plays little role in the way Aslan governs Narnia. An analysis of some of Lewis’s non-fictional writings in conversation with Thomas Aquinas uncovers a more subtle understanding of providence. For Lewis, as for Aquinas, providence incorporates the acts of free agents without compromising their integrity. Virtuous, indifferent, and even vicious acts all contribute in some way to God’s plan for the universe. The same can be said for Narnia, as one can see through representative examples from The Silver Chair, The Horse and His Boy, and The Magician’s Nephew. In these stories Lewis illustrates, to paraphrase his own words about Oedipus Rex, ‘how providence and free will can be combined, even how free will is the modus operandi of providence’.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the semantics of the image of the holy fool in V. A. Nikiforov-Volgin’s short stories “Holy Fool” and “Glebushka the Holy Fool.” The image of the holy fool in the author’s prose took shape under the influence of the Old Russian literary tradition, works of Fyodor Dostoevsky and Ivan Shmelev. Nomination of the holy fool in the prose writer’s works reflects the character’s childishness and soul purity, characteristic for this image. Glebushka the Holy Fool from the eponymous short story is a big child, and he is praying for forgiveness for his people, who are burdened with great sins. The holy fool in V. A. Nikiforov-Volgin’s short stories is a traveler, a pilgrim who lives outside the community. An encounter with him makes other characters rethink their lives, and offers an opportunity for repentance and life changes. Nikitushka (“Holy Fool”) is a messenger of the spiritual world; he appears to be reverend-like for one of the story’s characters. This hero appeals to the characters’ conscience without words, notations or rebukes; he relates to the motifs of spiritual transformation and enlightenment. The repentant bandit bows to the ground before the holy fool, thus pleading for forgiveness, and expressing humbleness and awe of the sanctitude. In this short story, Nikitushka the Holy Fool becomes the one who helps the wayward sinner reach God.The world of angels is close to the holy fool. V. A. Nikiforov-Volgin’s short stories present angels either as the holy fool’s interlocutors, or characters in the spiritual poems recited by the holy fool.The holy fool is an advocate not only for salvation for particular people, but for all of Russia.

Full textAbstract:
This study aimed to examine the gestural embodiment of intensifiers in iconic and metaphoric gestures when these words are used with literal and metaphoric statements. We asked a group of Persian native speakers to listen to and then retell a set of Persian stories. In these stories, a number of intensifiers were used with literal and metaphoric sentences. The results showed that when an intensifier was used with a literal sentence, there was a higher probability of using an iconic or beat gesture than when there was no intensifier in the sentence. Also, when an intensifier was used with a metaphoric sentence, there was a higher probability of using a metaphoric or beat gesture than when the sentence contained no intensifier. These results suggested that an intensifier in a literal or metaphoric sentence can strengthen the mental simulation and the embodiment of objects, ideas, or situations. When an intensifier is used with a literal or metaphoric sentence, the strength of activation in the premotor areas may be amplified and spread to motor areas. In contrast, when no such intensifier is used in a literal or metaphoric sentence, there is a higher probability of simulation in premotor areas without spreading to the primary motor areas. The production of an internal force and expressing emphasis are two other possibilities that may explain the higher use of gestures with intensifiers.

Full textAbstract:
Limited use of contextual information has been suggested as a way of understanding cognition in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, it has also been argued that individuals with ASD may have difficulties inferring others’ mental states. Here, we examined how individuals with different levels of autistic traits respond to contextual deviations by measuring event-related potentials that reflect context usage. The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) was used to quantify autistic-like traits in 28 university students, and 19 participants were defined as Low or High AQ groups. To additionally examine inferences about mental state, two belief conditions (with or without false belief) were included. Participants read short stories in which the final sentence included either an expected or an unexpected word and rated the word’s degree of deviation from expectation. P300 waveform analysis revealed that unexpected words were associated with larger P300 waveforms for the Low AQ group, but smaller P300 responses in the High AQ group. Additionally, AQ social skill subscores were positively correlated with evaluation times in the Unexpected condition, whether a character’s belief was false or not. This suggests that autistic traits can affect responses to unexpected events, possibly because of decreased availability of context information.

Full textAbstract:
Vocabulary learning has been a key aspect of acquiring a second language for many years. Many scholars and linguists claimed that learning languages cannot be successful without a wide range of vocabulary. However, most ESL learners are confronted with recalling difficulties as they tend to forget the word fast that they learned recently. These challenges are commonly discussed and researched by Cognitivists since they deem that there are several reasons for forgetting associated with memory and mental process. This case study entails small-scale research on vocabulary retention, reasons for forgetting, and some potential solutions to recall words in the second language. For this case study, we have chosen Cognitivism Theory in a bid to investigate and find out remembering challenges of our ESL learner and give her some possible solutions because according to cognitive psychology it is said that systematic forgetting occurs owing to interfering effects, a continuation of the very process of subsumption, neurolinguistic blocking and other factors. Relying on their findings we tried to help our seventeen-year-old student who tends to forget English words easily. In this case, the hypothesis of the research is that pictorial texts or stories can be more effective for short and long-term vocabulary learning and retention.

The only short story collection of 'Anamika' was published in the year 1979 from 'Pratinayak' Vidya Prakashan, Kanpur. There are a total of 11 stories in this collection. In the book Anamika: An Evaluation edited by Abhishek Kashyap, Anamika expresses her views on the future of the story, saying – “Jaan hai to jahaan hai. If there is a man then there is a story. Every man is a moving story. Batras and Gapashtak are also part of the three-fourth water element from which this world is made. How will the world run without a story. Katha Kosh records all the good and bad shadows of everyone's good deeds and bad deeds, be it in a poem or a story, it is the Praja Kosh of the people in the story. Akshay deposit account of our Manisha.”1 It can be said that the story is the most popular genre among the genres of Hindi prose. The reason for this is that the story is related to the life of the individual and the society. In the words of Anamika - “The novel is a big battlefield or playground, in which different classes, castes, genders, sects try their side, but the story also creates a counter-world of selected moments. The quickness of the story calls for the skill of miniature painting—it is not so easy to create focus in a small space.”2
 Abstract in Hindi Language:
 ‘अनामिका’ का एक मात्र कहानी संग्रह ‘प्रतिनायक’ विद्या प्रकाशन, कानपुर से सन् 1979 में प्रकाशित है। इस संग्रह में कुल 11 कहानियाँ हैं। अभिषेक कश्यप द्वारा सम्पादित पुस्तक अनामिका: एक मूल्यांकन में अनामिका कहानी के भविष्य पर अपने विचार व्यक्त करते हुए कहती हैं-“जान है तो जहान है। आदमी है तो कहानी है। हर आदमी एक चलती-फिरती कहानी तो है ही। बतरस और गपाष्टक भी उस तीन चैथाई जल-तत्व का हिस्सा है, जिससे यह दुनिया बनी है। बिना कहानी की दुनिया चलेगी भी कैसे। नेकियाँ-बदनामियाँ सबकी सब भली-बुरी परछाइयाँ कथा कोष ही दर्ज करता है, कविता में हो या कहानी में वही जनता का प्रजा-कोष है कहानी में। हमारी मनीषा का अक्षय जमा खाता।”1 कहा जा सकता है कि हिंदी गद्य की विधाओं में कहानी ही सर्वाधिक लोकप्रिय विधा है। इसका कारण है कहानी का व्यक्ति-समष्टि जीवन से जुड़ा होना। अनामिका के शब्दों में-“उपन्यास एक बड़ी युद्धभूमि या लीलाभूमि है, जिसमें अलग-अलग वर्ग, वर्ण, लिंग, सम्प्रदाय अपना पक्ष आजमाते हैं, पर चुनिंदा क्षणों का एक प्रतिसंसार तो कहानी भी रचती है। कहानी की क्षिप्रता मिनिएचर पेंटिंग का कौशल चाहती है-थोड़े से स्पेस में फोकस पैदा करना इतना आसान नहीं।”2

Full textAbstract:
The composition, semantics and functioning of words with color meanings (coloratives) are of interest to researchers specializing in various fields of scientific knowledge. The relevance of studying this group of words is determined with an important trend: to describe the facts of culture fixed in the units of the language, as well as to highlight culturally significant information in them. This tendency is manifested in the study of the writer's language. The analysis of coloratives, their composition and role in Ivan Bunin's multi-genre works is actively conducted, but it is often carried out without focusing on a specific work of art. The article analyzes the coloratives functioning in the text of the story «Henry» (a collection of short stories «Dark Avenues»), which is called a gloomy, or twilight, story. The analysis showed that the writer uses about 120 coloratives in the text of the story, most of which denote bright («daytime») colors (Rus. лиловый, индиго, янтарно-коричневый, цвета луковой шелухи). The nature of the selection of words naming the main colors of the spectrum and their shades in the text of the story shows the author's likes and dislikes. Semantic, lexicographic and linguocultural analysis of landscape and portrait descriptions is carried out against the background of materials from the National Corpus of the Russian language (the Main and Poetic subcorps). The analysis has shown that the coloratives become for the author not only a means of accurately and figuratively describing the world around them, but also a way of expressing the hero's condition and his attitude towards Russia and Europe.
