Linguistics

The television series object of this work is characterized by the use of the colloquial language, the spoken language, emerging/standing out among the different types of language and linguistic registers. The “colloquial Spanish” is the informal register that is used in everyday life and changes a lot depending on the geographical vernaculars of Spain. The colloquial language is a diaphasic variation of the language, because it does not depend on the education or the cultural level of the users,

theory began with the ideas presented by Ferdinand de Saussure, a Swiss linguist in the late 19th century. His book “Course in General Linguistics” provoked the switch from a diachronic to a synchronic phonological examination. Synchronic linguistics, the study of contemporary spoken languages, was developed by Jan Baudouin de Courtenay with the structuralist linguistic theory of Saussure. This analysis of phonology prompted the establishment of the Prague Circle. Two famous students from this circle

both a macro level [institutional arrangements] and micro level [e.g. conversation]. In this part, I will outline main principles of the Vygotsky’s theory of linguistic mediation [based on the definition of language as a mean of mediation] and Whorf ‘s theory [based on definition of the language is as a shaper of ideas]. 1.1 The Linguistics Mediation of Psychological Processes “Language

and how occupation stress of sign language interpreting landed on the scale. Yet, it was interesting that Dean and Pollard’s perspective on how applying the demand-control theory to sign language interpreting posed several challenges based on the linguistic and nonlinguistic demands. I thought this was an interesting new perspective as I read this article and analyzed the demand-control theory. Prior to reading this article, I understood that interpreting had high demands of the job and certain areas

example, “research shows that children who speak more than one language are multiply advantaged over their monolingual playmates – in communication, cognition and social interaction. The mental gymnastics needed to constantly manage two or more linguistic systems increases cognitive flexibility and makes learning easier, say

Due to socioeconomic, cultural, and, after the past few election cycles in the United States, political adversity that immigrants have to endure, it is not surprising that some immigrant populations, namely the working poor, manifest various mental health issues at higher rates than the rest of the population. According to much research, "evidence is overwhelming that certain immigrant groups. . . suffer a greater incidence of schizophrenia" also noting that the "risk increases with length of residence

researchers are trying to show that species such as gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, and orangutans are able to learn sign language and use it to communicate with humans. Evolutionarily, the great apes are our closest living relatives, so studies of their linguistic ability could be used to show that we are more related than previously thought. The largest obstacle in great ape language acquisition has been vocabulary. In the past, attempts to teach them to use spoken language has yielded extremely limited

The study has adopted a novel approach to CDA by using linguistic tools such as Systemic Functional Grammar and Pragma-Dialectics, as well as insights from postcolonialism and poststructuralism to explore the impact of power and ideology on language use and social or political practice in the New Caledonian decolonisation process. Not only was linguistic evidence adduced to show how the French dominant powers employ a common destiny rhetoric to manipulate the other groups into accepting that New

I. Introduction 1.1 Systemic Functional Linguistics According to Halliday systemic functional linguistics (SFL) considers a language as a system of expressing meaning within context. Generally it is applied in understanding the quality of texts, the most authentic products of human interaction. Halliday (1985) considers a text as a semantic phenomenon but not as a grammatical one. However, as he notes semantics is interrelated to grammar as meaning is conveyed through wording that is with the
