translation can be achieved through a study of the process of translation with an emphasis on a deductive rather than an inductive approach. INTRODUCTION Foreign language teachers have long been perplexed by a continuum of abundant psycho-linguistic theories. One approach is the traditional method to second/foreign language teaching and learning. This embodied the grammar translation method which developed at the end of the eighteenth century in Germany and spread throughout Europe (Howat‚

The opposition (in the linguistic sense) may be defined as a generalised correlation of lingual forms by means of which a certain function is expressed. The correlated elements (members) of the opposition must possess two types of features: common features and differential features. Common features serve as the basis of contrast‚ while differential features immediately express the function in question. The oppositional theory was originally formulated as a ; phonological theory. In various contextual

How does linguistic variation cue representations of a speaker’s social identity and‚ presumably‚ stereotypes about relevant social groups? Although studies have indicated that phonetic variation in speech may activate social stereotypes (Purnell‚ Idsardi & Baugh‚ 1999)‚ research on the mechanisms of this process has been scant. The term “stereotype” was introduced into the variations of sociolinguistic literature in Labov’s (1973) taxonomy of language forms charged with broad social meaning‚ reprised

defined as a branch of linguistics; it is an area of study parallel to‚ and interacting with syntax and phonology. While syntax and phonology study the structure of expressive possibilities in language‚ semantics studies the meaning that can be expressed. Nearly all linguists have accepted a linguistic model in which semantics is at one end and phonetics at the other‚ with grammar somewhere in the middle. However‚ until recently‚ semantics has been the ‘Cinderella’ of linguistics‚ a branch that had been

Pre-linguistic Development As linguistic development designates the stage when children are able to manipulate verbal symbols‚ it should be apparent that pre-linguistic development refers to the stage before the child is able to manipulate such symbols. Consequently‚ this stage is sometimes called the pre-symbolic stage. Pre-linguistic development‚ therefore‚ concerns itself with precursors to the development of symbolic skills and typically covers the period from birth to around 13 months of age
