Dialect

Scots dialect, and his diction with “What airs in dress” is starkingly reminiscent of the airs the upper-class dressed their “proper” English in. Significantly, the second portion of that line, “an’ gait wad lea’e us,” states that the notion is foolish because the artificiality will dissipate, and the line transforms mid-sentence from standard English as it moves from “dress” to “an’”. This implies that what is left when that forced language dissipates are the virtues of that Scottish dialect:…

a mingled attitude of concern, encouragement, and challenge. Similar ambiguity and complexity are present in the phrase “kinder hard” (16), where the first word can initially seem consoling and positive until we realize that “kinder” is just the dialect form of “kind of.” Thus, just when a slightly cheerful note has entered the poem through the word “kinder,” that note instantly disappears with the entrance of the word…

Mark Twain's book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, has been the fuel of debate for multiple years, and the fued is only growing larger. Parents are becoming worried of their children becoming offended or distraught over Twain's racially accurate dialect of the the 1800s, which is the setting of the book. This is causing schools systems across America to take the book out of curriculum, and ban the reading of said book by students. This banning is unnecessary and even harmful to students,…

I attended UNCG’s production of Silent Sky on Saturday, March 17th. The show was performed in the Brown/Sprinkle Theatre, a thrust stage, that caught all sound from the actors. Each actor was easily heard and spoke with vocal energy. Before seeing the show, I had only read a few scenes from the play and only vaguely knew the plot. It was nice to see this story unfold from actors that worked in the moment and believed their imaginary circumstances. The actors did the best they could with the…

way of living, along with the ignorant yet paradoxically informed people in the town, that comes from the town’s attitude where “few knew and nobody cared”. Ultimate In ly, through the use of devices such as contrasting imagery, simile, regional dialect, apposition and polysyndeton, the narrator emphasizes Sawley’s unorthodox knowledge and how despite not knowing much about the world around them, the people of Sawley are well off with being concerned of their every day affairs. At the…

Melissa Dunne Chapter 2 Review 09/11/2016 1. List two-three factors that influence semantic development. For each, specify how a specific factor might affect a child’s semantic development. Semantic development describes how someone learns and retains (or stores) the meanings of words. Three factors that influence semantic development are gender, language impairment, and language exposure. First, girls seem to be at an advantage when it comes to semantic development. Not only do they have…

Many authors believe that they creative unique stories, incomparable to any other stories written, and while they may not be verbatim, most stories actually have a common theme that connects them. Charles W. Chesnutt and Sarah Orne Jewett demonstrate a common theme buried amongst a story that differs in numerous ways from other tales in their short stories “The Goophered Grapevine” and “A White Heron,” respectively. While the differences between the two stories may be more obvious, the theme of…

it told the story through local black and white dialect of the time. It also dealt with the issues of the morality of slavery, the troubles of poor white people, and the autobiographical details of a young boy journey of coming of age in a fairly drastic way for the time the book was written. The book itself is quite enjoyable to read. It is however a struggle to get through it smoothly as the rambling way it is written and the heavy use of dialect makes rereading sentences a constant…

Mayberry, malt shops, and Leave it to Beaver all represent the traditional America, but one other thing is missing: To Kill a Mockingbird. To Kill a Mockingbird was written by Harper Lee and takes place in Maycomb County, Alabama during the Great Depression. I thoroughly enjoyed this book because of its vivid descriptions of southern life during this time and its morally dense content. To Kill a Mockingbird is a book of fiction, though it is taken from the childhood of Harper Lee. The book is…
