Millions of people all over having to start over and try to pick up the piece of their shattered lives. Europe had to do something after the war. It had to rebuild itself; it had to be better than before. This is what the people wanted and what they deserve. The people rallied together to bring change to their…

As will be further discussion in Chapter II, there is no agreement on classification of PVs, although different scholars have attempted to classify them on the basis of different criteria (Liao & Fukuya 2004). Many terms are used in the literature to describe PVs, such as literal, transparent, semitransparent, systematic, completive, opaque, figurative, and idiomatic. Celce-Murcia and Larsen Freeman (1999) classify PVs into literal, idiomatic, and aspectual. Literal PVs are those whose elements…

At a Republican election rally in September of 2015, Sarah Palin demanded that all U.S. citizens needed to “speak American,” referring to the need for English as an official language (Sarah Palin Speak American). This demand, however, is not a new topic. Since this country’s birth, language-based discrimination has existed. For example, during the late 1700s, John Adams, a founding father and second president, tried to establish English as the official language of the United States (Schultz).…

the Third Estate represented about 98% of the French population they only held one vote; this often led to the interests of the people being overruled by the nobility and the church.
