Introduction 1Phonetics as branch of linguistics .The word phonetics is derived from the Greek word phone such means sound and is used in two different meanings: a. to some authors usually non phoneticians phonetics is that part of grammar which deals with special sounds. b. To phoneticians however phonetics is an independent branch of linguistics which is concerned with the phonetic structure of language. On the one hand phonetics is quite independent and develops according to its own laws

astonishing range of theoretical physics publications‚ written in his spare time‚ without the benefit of close contact with scientific literature or colleagues. The most well known of these works is Einstein’s 1905 paper proposing "the special theory of relativity." He based his new theory on the principle that the laws of physics are in the same form in any frame of reference. As a second fundamental hypothesis‚ Einstein assumed that the speed of light remained constant in all frames of reference.Later in

paper will argue that all curriculum designers would benefit from insights from educational linguistics‚ a hybrid field formed by fusing educational sociology and linguistics. The most potent ideas come by combining Basil Bernstein’s analysis of knowledge structures with ideas from linguistics. Linguistics is a vast discipline but three related fields are of particular relevance: systemic functional linguistics (SFL)‚ critical discourse analysis (CDA) and multimodal social semiotics (MMSS). Each comes

On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies ‚ which proposes a new theory on the relationship between time and space. This paper served as the foundation for the theory of relativity. The contemporary physics revolution‚ based on the theory of relativity and quantum theory‚ has led science into a new era. Starting from this‚ human exploration has extended to the boundless

Language Comprehension and Production Psychologists have long been interested in language. It was motivated by Chomsky’s work in linguistics‚ and by his claim that the special properties of language require special mechanisms to handle it. The special feature of language on which Chomsky focused was its productivity. Early psycholinguists described our comprehension and production of language in terms of the rules that were postulated by linguists (Fodor et al. 1974). As the field of psycholinguistics

notions of encoding and decoding Decoding stylistics is the most recent trend in stylistic research that employs theoretical findings in such areas of science as information theory‚ psychology‚ statistical studies in combination with linguistics‚ literary theory‚ history of art‚ literary criticism‚ etc. Decoding stylistics makes an attempt to regard the esthetic value of a text based on the interaction of specific textual elements‚ stylistic devices and compositional structure

the underlying reasons for people adopting a certain type of language style in a particular social context (Holmes 2008). On the other hand‚ context refers to “a broader social situation in which a linguistic item is used” (Richards et al. 1998). In combining the contextual information with the linguistic features‚ the meaning of a particular of word or phrase can be understood easily. It shows that context plays a crucial role in

abducted. It goes to show that the time in space was definitely slower than here on Earth. According to Einstein’s view‚ time is not constant it is relative and elastic. In some cases time can slow down or dilated because of gravity. In his General Relativity Theory it was stated that clocks in gravitational fields run slower compared to clocks not in a gravitational field and that the stronger the gravitational field the slower the clock runs. Some scientists have tested this slowdown factor of time

After hours‚ he creates the Special Theory of Relativity‚ in which he demonstrates that measurements of time and distance vary systematically as anything moves relative to anything else. Which means that Newton was wrong. Space and time are not absolute -- and the relativistic universe we inhabit is not

negative aspects such as English dominance and loss of languages mainly driven by globalization. Therefore‚ this essay will argue the negative impacts of having English as a global language because of the way English language affects young people’s linguistic skills and behaviour through mass media. Using English as an international language has some benefits in people’s lives. Firstly‚ the major positive effect is global communication due to the widespread coverage recognized and understood by
