    Jamie Oliver’s style of speech is very different to many of his contemporaries: he uses his distinctive style to present himself as a down to earth, friendly TV chef. Oliver is the only person talking in his transcripts because he is cooking and explaining his actions for the TV show. The fact that he is cooking while talking means that there are numerous pauses and fillers in the transcript, for example “you wanna coat the bottom ... of the pan.” The pause indicates that he is demonstrating this action on the programme; it is important in his role as a TV chef that he doesn’t just sit and talk through a recipe because viewers want to see the recipes being made and they also want to be entertained and kept interested by Oliver moving around in the kitchen. Other pauses suggest that, although this programme is scripted to a small degree, Oliver is not reading from a script but retains an element of spontaneity to his speech. The fillers at the start of the transcript, I got a pan, er the right size pan about, sort of seven inches, are indicators of this spontaneity, as is the non-fluent er. Although sometimes a sign of nervousness, in this case I think the fillers which act like pauses help Oliver to appear normal, like his viewers, so they are more likely to attempt his recipes and, of course, buy his books. However constant fillers may disrupt the fluency of the show and may act as a degrading point towards the audience. Comparing this to Nigella Lawson, a much Elder audience may find her style of presenting much more useful and understanding as she…

    Nigella Lawson and Gordon Ramsay, two very famous TV chefs, have completely different ways of presenting themselves verbally. Ramsay is well known for his fiery temper and for being extremely rude at times by using profanity. Nigella Lawson is renowned for her flirtatious manner of presenting, and is known as the “queen of food porn”; both of the transcripts I selected identify these characteristics.…

    In this report James Paul Gee (1996) from his book Social Linguistics And Literacy has given the idea that literacy is not just the ability to read and write but it is mush more than that. It is the knowledge of different "discourses" which are part of our personalities and the knowledge of the beliefs and values connected to these discourses. He also gives the idea of a liberating literacy which "can be used as a meta-language or a meta- discourse ( a set of meta-words, meta-values, meta-beliefs) for the critique of other literacy and the way they constitute us as persons and situate us in society."…

    A. J. Aitkin (1984, 2015) introduced a model of Scottish speech (Pic. 2) that represents the range of choices available to speakers in Scotland. Words from Columns 1 and 2 are considered to be Scots, whereas SSE terms are represented in Columns 4-5. Column 3 represents items that two polar varieties share. Accordingly, Columns 1 and 5 contain lexical items of Scots and SSE correspondingly; Columns 2 and 4 contain lexical items for Scots and SSE that differ phonologically. This paper concerns the lexical level of the continuum so that words from Columns 1 and 5 are in focus for the analysis. These two columns present two distinctive systems available to speakers in Scotland for linguistic…

    Scottish English

    Scottish English results from language contact between Scots and the Standard English of England after the 17th century. The resulting shifts to English usage by Scots-speakers resulted in many phonological compromises and lexical transfers, often mistaken for mergers by linguists unfamiliar with the history of Scottish English. Furthermore, the process was also influenced by interdialectal forms, hypercorrections and spelling pronunciations.[12] (See the section on phonology below.)…

    The understanding of the native speakers' language is the international problem for our people. Our secondary schools teach the students only the bases of the English language. Our universities do not prepare them to the British streets, accommodations, pubs where people use their own language, the language that differs from that of their parents. They use other words- they use slang. None of the most advanced and flexible ways of teaching English of any country can catch modern quickly developing English.…

    The Tausug even before the arrival of Islam or Christianity and the people who promulgated their system of government, the Sulu Islands, where the Tausugs are found, had their own system of government. The Tausugs openly welcomed Islam and the system of government that came with it. This has bred to the establishment of the Sulu sultanate. Leaders from this region moved to other places in the country, spreading Islam and its system of government in…

    Language and Dialect

    Two studies provided direct support for a recently proposed dialect theory of communicating emotion, positing that expressive displays show cultural variations similar to linguistic dialects, thereby decreasing accurate recognition by out-group members. In Study 1, 60 participants from Quebec and Gabon posed facial expressions. Dialects, in the form of activating different muscles for the same expressions, emerged most clearly for serenity, shame, and contempt and also for anger, sadness, surprise, and happiness, but not for fear, disgust, or embarrassment. In Study 2, Quebecois and Gabonese participants judged these stimuli and stimuli standardized to erase cultural dialects. As predicted, an in-group advantage emerged for nonstandardized expressions only and most strongly for expressions with greater regional dialects, according to Study 1. Keywords: emotion, expression, recognition, dialects, in-group advantage…

    Based on the questions after class last time - they are going to be explained again. The opposites as the conservatives at the time were known as Whigs. Literature in this period people who write it are also politically engaged. So the lecturer gathers… we seem to have been confused by the description of Johnathan Swift - the simplistic division between catholics and protestants… we are talking… America is predominantly a protestant country - but there are different "streams" among protestants. The anglican church - founded the day henry the 8th separated himself from rome… the (it think church) borrowed… english people on the hole like to have church quire music. When the protestant… grows the… creates a compromise - church. It looks like a catholic church. Because in england the head of the church is the king conformity to church (something) conformity to the crown. Puritans refused to be told by the central government how to worship. Puritans hated that. For them to sing songs in the church was a sign of (something bad). Bell ringing was considered a devilish practice. This is a division that split the country. Nobody could tell anyone how to read the bible according to the puritans. The English rejected puritan austerity. The monarchy was restored - once you restore the monarchy you restore the Anglican church. It is a hierarchy just like the catholic church. Swift is a protestant? So what? He is an anglican priest. He thinks the pope is the devil. According to him the church of Rome is wrong. Men like swift didn’t talk about the pope as the antichrist - he would say the pope was a man of error. Extreme puritans - some of them stay in England. Particularly in the midlands and the southwest of the country. There are various sects baptists… many extreme puritans will not conform to the laws of the church of the state. Cambridge university at the time is a hot bed of puritan activity. Oxford on the other hand is the conservative…

    Language and Culture

    To what extent can the language and literature of a nation or a race reflect the history and culture of this nation or race? To what extent can the soul of a nation and the universal values in the innermost recesses of the minds of humanity be revealed in the language and literature of a given country? To those questions, only the person who is long engaged in the study of this field can find distinctive answers and develop unique perceptions. I believe that the perception of the historical and cultural impulses and national legacy through literature is an important sensibility for a student of literature. I am very proud that as a Yemeni student I have developed such a sensibility through my past academic studies of English literature. What is more, I would like to further develop and expand such a sensibility to acquire a scholarly and professional dimension in the very nation whose literary heritage has not only influenced the country itself but also extended to almost every part of the world.…
