How to Speak Like a New Englander

Jennifer Chung (2005654208) ENGL2104 - Rowe 6 May 2008 Research Paper How to Speak Like a New Englander Many people assume that the New England accent is basically the Boston accent as the city is considered to be the life of the region, but this is a false assumption. There are in fact several accents and varieties which can be found and the Boston accent is only one of them. Granted, the famous accent in Massachusetts is the most prominent and influential accent but it does not completely represent the neighbouring five states which includes Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut and Rhode Island. This essay will delve into the history of New England and how it affected the phonological and lexical development of New England speech. . History and Geography of New England The New England expansion all started with Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620. The English Puritans fled Lincolnshire due to religions persecution and sailed to the United States on the Mayflower. They were later joined by the English Separatists who situated themselves in the Massachusetts Bay Colony about a decade later. The population then was only around a few hundred. By the second half of the nineteenth century, masses of immigrants flooded New England. The Irish fled to Boston because of the potato famine and they were soon joined by Italians, Russian, Polish, Lithuanians, Greeks, Armenians

Misogyny in Hamlet

Misogyny in Hamlet In William Shakespeare's Hamlet, the main character, Hamlet, accuses women of being unfaithful, uncaring, and incestuous creatures. These feelings are reflected towards his mother, Gertrude. Hamlet becomes a misogynist mainly because he witnesses the manner in which his mother behaves throughout the course of the play. Queen Gertrude's relationship with Hamlet's murderous uncle Claudius, leads Hamlet to abhor women and female sexuality, and long for a misleading, wholly righteous mother figure (Heilbrun 1957). Her ability to be easily manipulated help influence Hamlet's prejudiced beliefs about women. Hamlet's attitude and feelings towards his mother, Gertrude, illustrates central importance to the play with regards to the motif of misogyny. Hamlet most definitely believes that his father was indeed a better husband and king towards his mother Gertrude. In Hamlet's first soliloquy of the play, aside from suffering over his father's death, he is shown praising his father's life, "...So excellent a king, that was to this / Hyperion to a satyr" (I.ii.139-140). By comparing his father and Claudius to the sun god Hyperion and the half human half goat called the satyr, Hamlet is clearly implying how inferior he feels Claudius is as king in comparison to his father. By calling Claudius a satyr he is also insisting his lustfulness. As Hamlet proceeds to

Bilingual Lexical and Conceptual Memory Representation

Bilingual Lexical and Conceptual Memory Representation: A Critical Review Abstract The major purpose of this review is to critically evaluate the asymmetry model (Kroll & Stewart, 1994) concerning whether word translation is based on a lexical level or is achieved through conceptual mediation. This model assumes that forward translation (from the first language to the second language) is mainly conceptually mediated, whereas backward translation (from the second language to the first language) is comprehended through direct lexical path. Variables that condition conceptual/semantic processing will therefore have a larger effect on forward than backward translation. This paper first describes the main features derived from the asymmetry model with an overview of various evidence-based sources. It then considers the generalizability of the model with a critical appraisal of controversial evidences due to different experimental paradigms and semantic variations. Further, it illustrates semantic variations in word translation process by comparing and contrasting performances of bilinguals in different orthographic systems, namely Chinese and English. Finally, the paper proposes other experimental paradigms for testing Chinese-English bilingual lexical and conceptual representations. Key words: word translation, lexical activation, conceptual mediation, bilingual memory

The use of the ideas in Yeats "The second coming" in "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe.

Derrick Matthews December 15, 2002 ENGL 211 "The Second Coming" by William Butler Yeats describes a world about to reach yet another transition in its history, one much worse than the prior. In Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, Okonkwo views the scenario presented in Yeats' poem as his reality. The first four lines of "The Second Coming" which Achebe decided to preface his book with can be seen as a topical representation of Okonkwo's experiences in the novel. "Turning and turning in the widening gyre/ The falcon cannot hear the falconer" is how Yeats starts his poem, and consequently it is how Achebe begins Things Fall Apart. For both the poem and the story, this line prepares the reader for what is to follow. The turning in the widening gyre suggests a continual cycle where things are becoming worse and worse. For Okonkwo, this is how the novel plays out for him. Things Fall Apart is very episodic, that is to say that what happened in a prior event has absolutely no consequence on the next one. This structure allows us to see the individual and isolated hardships which Okonkwo suffered through. We're first shown that because of his strong work ethic that one year he decided to plant his yams early, but because of terrible conditions his harvest failed completely. Those who had not started early had a plentiful harvest however. This small trial was easily

It may be easier for infants to communicate in a visual method such as sign language as opposed to spoken language, but what difference, if any, is made in the long term? Teaching typically developing infants to sign as an aid has been known to be success

From the earliest moments of a baby's life, it is common for parents to want the best for their child. On the contrary, there are the parents who want their babies to be the best. In the 1981 book, The Hurried Child, author Dr. David Elkind warns that children were being asked to grow up too fast. This was the premise of the book, the fact that parents were pushing their children too far, and too fast. Dr. Elkind's book became an instant classic, and it seems that recently the trend of "super babies" has only intensified (The Hurried Infant). There are various studies, theories, trends, products, and techniques aiming to expand the powers and abilities of the infant brain. The popular trend of brain enrichment practices for infants can be linked back approximately 15 years ago, when the parenting community started to learn about something called the "Mozart Effect" (Mitchell 28:3-4). The "Mozart Effect" was a conclusion of one study of college students who had listened to ten minutes of a Mozart sonata before taking a test, and appeared to score slightly higher marks in doing so (Mitchell 28:3-4). Through this conclusion, parents were encouraged to play classical music for their babies, to help enhance spatial-reasoning and memory. The "Mozart Effect" was controversial, as there were many attempts to replicate the results of the original test, but most were unsuccessful.

Discuss the implications of the global spread of English for the learning and teaching of the language.

eTMA 06 (Units 17-23) (1500 words) Wednesday, April 13th 2011 Question Part 1 Explain the meaning of the following terms, using examples from the U211 materials and any relevant examples of your own. Lingua franca is a language that is used as a medium of communication by people who do not usually speak that language themselves, for instance, English is a lingua franca used by Chinese people doing business with Germans or Italians. Numerous Lingua Francas of the world are pidgin or trade languages, such as Tok Pisin, which came to be the official language of Papua New Guinea. The development of a specific language as a lingua franca depends on the socio-economic and political conditions of the time. For example, during the middle ages, Latin was the lingua franca of Europe which was later succeeded by French. Today English has become a global lingua franca due to colonization, technological developments, improved communications and the forces of globalization. According to Nelson (1999) 'The status of English is such that it has been adopted as the world's lingua franca for communication in Olympic sport, international trade, and air-traffic control. Unlike any other language, past or present, English has spread to all five continents and has become a truly global language'.

Discuss "It is impossible for an Englishman to open his mouth without making some other Englishman despise him."

The term "Englishman" generally refers to the people who live in England, a country part of the United Kingdom. All Englishmen communicate with one common language, which is English. However, one Englishman may use a type of English language that is different from the type of English language used by another Englishman. The types or varieties of English language differ by features of grammar, vocabulary and phonology and this is known as dialect. The pronunciation, otherwise known as accent, of the different varieties of English is also prevalent. In the past, in England, any accent which differs from Received Pronunciation (RP), the variety of English used by the Queen and British Broadcast Corporation (BBC), is considered inferior. According to "An English accent" video clip, RP is associated to upper class, prestige and privilege. RP is taught in schools especially prestigious schools. Therefore, if an Englishman speaks without the RP accent, he may be despised by another Englishman because it means that he is not from the upper class or is not very educated. In recent years, RP is not widely used. Post-modernity has lead to people, especially young people, having less conformity to standards and being anti-institutions. Hence, few young people use RP in today's time. The mindset of the people now is that if someone uses RP, he is considered unfriendly. Likewise, an

The Development of Old English. Differences between Old and Modern English

Old English Old English (OE), also known as Anglo-Saxon evolved from the Germanic dialects of the Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisian. The language was influenced by Latin, borrowing many words from it as the Anglo-Saxons had lived within the borders of the Roman Empires prior to invading Britain. The conversion to Christianity in 600 AD also introduced literacy using the Roman alphabet (Graddol et al., 2007, p 40-43). Influences on Old English Old English underwent linguistic changes as a result of contact with the Scandinavian invaders' and their language- Old Norse. The influence of Old Norse simplified the inflections system and many of the vocabulary adopted, remained in our English language today (Graddol, p 59- 63). The English language further evolved during the Norman Conquest when French was established as the language of power and officialdom. The Middle English period saw the assimilation of French into the English vocabulary as well as adoption of rhyme, which is typical of French verse writing (Graddol, p.66-69). Modern English The introduction of the printing technology in Britain in the 15th century by Caxton helped moved English from a vernacular language with regional varieties towards standardization and eventually, a national language (Graddol, p85 -87). This was the Modern English (MnE) period where 'lexical growth took place; existing words were

Defenition of a Soldier. Before I joined the Army I imagined millions of highly trained professionals in combat doing their specific jobs while simultaneously destroying all enemies foreign or domestic

Depner, J 1 Jerome Depner Instructor Dougherty English 090-56I 3 May 2011 Definition of a Soldier It still surprises me every time I receive a standing ovation while wearing my uniform in the airport, or whenever someone offers to pick up the check because were simply put "soldiers" I use to feel proud, in fact on my first tour to Iraq I was moved to tears when walking through the airport terminal to begin my tour. The sad truth is that a larger portion of the United States Army deserves no such special treatment. As I've served a tour in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and three years in America I have come to realize that American Soldiers are not as the army puts it "Army Strong". The definition of a soldier according to Merriam-Webster is "one engaged in military service and especially in the army" while the dictionary definition has remained unchanged a majority of the unspoken qualities have begun to vanish, that is why the definition of a soldier has been changed for me since my enlistment in the U.S. Army in many ways. Before I joined the Army I imagined millions of highly trained professionals in combat doing their specific jobs while simultaneously destroying all enemies foreign or domestic. Now I see lazy men, women, and young adults who have figured out how to do just enough in the Army to live comfortably without doing any real work. It seems now that soldiers
