theory is more likely to be true. Since long‚ there are many hypotheses about the origin of language. Approximately‚ there are four rather famous one‚ that is‚ Divine theory‚ natural sound theory‚ oral-gesture theory and evolution. In this essay‚ I shall focus on the Divine theory and evolution theory for comparison. In my point of views‚ I take the evolution as a more likely true one than the god created theory. Yet‚ according to Yule‚ the Divine theory means there appears to be

John Baugh in his article “Linguistic Profiling” (2003) discusses “linguistic discrimination based on speech or writing” (2003‚ p. 155).

Much like racial profiling and its negative effects on people of color‚ linguistic profiling is the practice of imposing certain social characteristics on people who speak with a particular

STRUCTURALISM IN LINGUISTICS Introduction It is not my purpose here to give a historical treatment of linguistic ideas‚ nor it to distinguish and analyze the various approaches and schools of thought generally subsumed under the heading of Structuralism.

Early Irish kingship ideology and history Early medieval Irish literature thoroughly discusses the ideology of kingship; the tales about kingship both acted as exemplum literature for early Irish kings and‚ for modern scholars‚ elaborate on early Irish society ’s values. Although there is no specific evidence which indicates that the tales were used as exemplum‚ it seems fairly clear. Certainly there was literature designed to educate king ’s about their responsibilities. Audacht Morainn‚ a letter
