Gender-specific pronoun

a new item has to be integrated into an interlanguage and it involves changing the acquisition as a whole. When we learn something it effects the knowledge and shrinks our understanding about something else. As we learn we will continuously shrink the knowledge we already have. To illustrate the idea of restructuring, during my experience learning Arabic I over-generlized a rule which still is problematic for me. In arabic there are feminine and male pronouns that are added to objects although abstract object, all objects need a pronouns to identify them which sometimes happened randomly. The eye took a feminine pronoun whereas the head took a masculine pronoun. To my over-generlization of this, I used the feminine pronoun for all eyes, mouth, stomach and head but what happened is that I fossilised this idea. Although I know the rule due to memorisation, I still find myself making mistakes and need time to think about which objects are feminine and which are masculine. Thus, my knowledge of Arabic feminine and masculine pronouns are still considered declarative knowledge. According to DeKeyser (2007) during procedurlization stage, the procedural knowledge obtained will need repetitive practice before it becomes automatic. Frequent practice will minimise error rate and reaction time and that the movement from proceduralized knowledge to automatisation we must follow this equation. Procedural knowledge + frequent practice = lower error rate and lower reaction time…

They learn which sentence structures are acceptable in certain situations, and they also learn which sentences are ungrammatical syntactically even though they are comprehensible semantically. Nevertheless, it is important for language speakers to understand that many syntactic rules exist with a motivation. In English, certain syntactic rules function to ease our understanding of sentences with complex constituents by moving them to the end of the sentence. In this paper, I will investigate the…

Words can be very manipulative and persuasive, if used right, they can be used to get people to feel different emotions and make people do things. But also, they can be used to make people do things that they might not have ever done without hearing that speaker say what they said to them. Rhetorical and literary devices are included when people are trying to persuade and manipulate people to more effectively change peoples minds.

nations who do not have a common mother tongue and it is the most widely spoken constructed language in the world. Comparing Esperanto to English, we can see the similarities or differences between the alphabets, vowels, pronouns and word order. Esperanto is invented because it brings tolerance and respect for people of diverse nations and cultures. About 70% of Esperanto vocabulary comes from Romance languages, about 20% from Germanic languages and English and some part from Slavic languages.…

metaphors for example, in section one, which is lines six through twenty-six, the speaker gives a metaphor about himself and Harlem. The speaker feels as if he and Harlem are one person. At the end of each section there is a conclusion. The speaker states the true inner thoughts about the topic in the section.

I recently attended A Christmas Wonderland, a drag show made up of some of RuPaul’s most talent drag queens such as; Roxxxy Andrews, Kim Chi, Latrice Royale, Naomi Smalls and many others. This was unlike any drag show I had been to before because instead of being in a small bar with limited seating and dingy lighting, it was in a real performance hall where the Nutcracker was being performed the following week. The first thing I immediately noticed was just how many different kinds of people…
