The Yorkshire Ripper Hoaxer: case study of Speaker profiling and speaker comparison in Forensic linguistics 1. Introduction “[....] the listener does not necessarily hear what was said, but rather hears their construction of what they think is said; they subconsciously combine the speech signal (the sounds) with prior knowledge of speech, language and context in their own heads (Fraser 2003, cited in Coulthard, et al 2017 p.130). Those words, indirectly, call for reconsideration of…

In To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee uses her words to add a depth to the story. She uses types of imagery to add layers to the book which when the reader peals those layers back will reveal a deeper meaning to the story. In this novel Lee uses personification in her writing. She wrote “The house died” (13). This gives the house a human like quality making it more relatable to the reader which in return makes the reader more immersed into the story . Simile is also used in this story to compare…

Paper #1 The two songs that I picked were A River Flows in You by Yiruma and Come on Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners. A River Flows in You was released in 2011 by a South Korean pianist and composer. The genre is New age, which is a soothing and relaxing. The next song Come on Eileen was released in 1982 and came from the album Too-Rye-Ay. The genre is a mixture of alternative and indie. Both A River Flows in You and Come on Eileen have identifiable elements of music that are found throughout…

next to it as most readers would understand it. The atmosphere of the second stanza is calm and peaceful. The fountain just starts (“beginnt”, v. 5). It is slow (“langsam”, v. 6) and the water flows gently (“sachte”, v. 7). The repeated murmuring consonants of the alliteration “Mitten […] marmornen male” convey the water’s soft gurgling and gentle flow. In the eighth verse, the otherwise regular rhythm is interrupted by a sudden trochaic beginning that illustrates the new image of the verse,…

In this chapter, I will investigate the various meanings of auctoritas through the works of Latin authors. The theme of my chosen vocabulary is the language of power and thus it is necessary to compare actual power to the air or appearance of power. The word derives from the Latin agent noun ‘auctor’ which is itself derived from ‘augeo’ meaning to ‘increase’ and the suffix ‘-tās’ which forms abstract nouns (LS 1879). I will be contrasting the use of auctoritas with that of imperium from the…

On Monday evening, September 21, 2015, I had the pleasure of watching University Jazz Combos. The performance was held at the University of Louisville School Of Music in the Bird Recital Hall. These three combos consisted of the Mark Turner Combo directed by Tyrone Wheeler, Illinois Jacquet Combo directed by Ansyn Banks, and Michael Brecker Combo also directed by Ansyn Banks. I wasn’t for sure what to expect when coming to this concert. Different from the other jazz performance I attended, this…

At some point in time, many people will experience problems with their voice. When speaking, words may sound broken, whispery, strangled or hoarse, and a person may struggle just to sound normal. In most cases, these vocal problems eventually go away, but if they don’t, then this condition may be a neurological disorder known as spasmodic dysphonia. Definition and Facts Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder that can affect the entire body or a specific body part. The primary…

The plosive consonants create a sense of callousness in the line “He bit my breast” as the sound is harsh and aggressive, juxtaposing the nurturing role of a woman. Breasts are also symbolic of the motherly love women feel for infants and the fact that Brady bites the…

Memory is a subject that has been widely researched in recent years; from techniques to aid our memory to the widely debated ‘definition’ of memory itself. However, although we all struggle to remember a lot of things, it has become clear that food (and confectionery in particular) always brings back strong, detailed memories in participants. The reason behind this is something that has not yet been widely researched; although there are some texts available on the effects of the visual and…
