properties common to us all: innate structures universal to all man. Levi-Strauss focused his attention on the patterns or structures existing beneath the customs and beliefs of all cultures. Methodologically‚ Strauss drew his models from structural linguistics‚ analysing forms of social activity as though they were languages. In other words‚ the things a society does‚ the way people in this society act‚ is compared to language; behaviour is acted out unconsciously as is grammar in the case of language

linguostylistics‚ is a branch of general linguistics. It deals mainly with two interdependent tasks: a) the investigation of special language means which secure the desirable effect of the utterance(stylistics devices and expressive means) b) certain types of texts (discourse) which due to the choice and arrangement of language means are distinguished by the pragmatic aspect of the communication. (functional styles) Functional styles discusses such general linguistic issues as oral and written varieties

Physics Behind The Theory of special relativity And Related Concepts RESEARCH PAPER Abstract: Prior to albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity there was always an idea about relativity. Through Galilean transformations‚ which worked perfectly with the newton’s laws of motion‚ people had formed a vague idea that all motion in this world

Relativity research task 1. James Clerk Maxwell was a Scottish theoretical physicist who proposed a mathematical link between magnetism and light. He developed a series of mathematical equations that were eventually reduced to four equations now known as Maxwell’s equations. Explain the significance of Maxwell’s equation to scientists’ understanding of the transmission of light and the search for the aether in the Newtonian era of physics. James Clerk Maxwell developed four of the most influential

The biggest equation to come out of Einstein’s theory of special relativity is E = mc^2‚ which tells us how E‚ the energy‚ M‚ the mass‚ and C‚ the speed of light‚ are related to each other. This mass we are using is not the same as weight. An object’s mass is how much stuff is inside of it‚ while its weight is how hard gravity is pulling on it. This is why when you measure your weight in outer space‚ it is close to zero. Einstein’s theory states that‚ the speed of light becomes a sort of ultimate

Einstein became an overnight celebrity‚ thanks to a solar eclipse. An experiment had confirmed that light rays from distant stars were deflected by the gravity of the sun in just the amount he had predicted in his theory of gravity‚ General Relativity. General Relativity was the first major new theory of gravity since Isaac Newton’s‚ more than two hundred and fifty years earlier. Einstein became a hero‚ and the myth building began. Headlines appeared in newspapers all over the world. On November 8

To discuss this issue‚ one must discuss Ferdinand de Saussure’s linguistic revolution. However‚ this cannot be achieved without mentioning pre-Saussurean linguistics. Throughout nineteenth and early twentieth century‚ the science of language was philology‚ and not linguistics. Philologists’ scope of activity was fairly limited to the analysis of the alterations that happened to a particular phenomenon in language‚ for example word or sound‚ throughout long expanses of time. Their main approach to
