poems with other words, of different meaning to widely express themselves. Figurative language is the technique that an author uses to do so. Figurative language is a way an author can say something that has a completely different meaning from what they are trying to say, and still, provides an understanding of what is being said. The three poems that are being discussed use several different types of figurative language, including verbal, and dramatic irony. The poem “Barbie Doll” written by…

Semantic satiation is the occurrence when something is said so many times that it temporarily loses its meaning or sounds weird. This means that through uninterrupted repetition, a word loses its relationship with its definition and pronunciation. This effect allows authors to change the meaning of the word and therefore the story, without altering the word itself. Many critics, like Barbara Bengels, say that The Turn of the Screw’s uniqueness comes from its ability to perplex the reader and…

In the poem “The Writer” written by Richard Wilbur about his daughter writing has many figurative language devices. At first glance, the reader gets swept up in “The Writer” and does not realize the devices being used, however, a further analyzation of the poem lets the reader see that simile, metaphor, personification and others. The first figurative device Mr. Wilbur explores in his poem is a metaphor. He does this in the very first line when he compares his daughters room in the house to…

He writes his metaphors to deepen his plot and to emphasize certain things in his writing.…

cultural groups are personal attitudes toward disability, communicative disorders, and stuttering. Culture and language are closely intertwined as they represent ways in how individuals perceive, understand, and interact with the world. With this rise in ethnically diverse populations, the numbers of culturally diverse persons who stutter will be increasingly represented in the speech-language pathologist's caseload. As a result, it is critical attempts to embrace multicultural and linguistic…

phonological processing. To identify a child’s deficits in phonological processing, it’s important to understand its parts. Phonological Processing is a term used for a category of four oral language processing abilities related to the sounds in words, to associate those sounds with letters, and to read. These four oral language abilities are verbal short-term memory, rapid serial naming, articulation speed, and phonological awareness. Verbal short-term memory involves the ability to remember…

translators need to consider when approaching the linguistic and cultural difference in source texts. However, these two concepts are mutually exclusive. Foreignization aims to maintain as much as possible the exotic cultural foreignness of the source language, retain the original cultural image in target texts and ‘tell it like…

insignificant as a single word, with which they can find a personal connection. One word that has personal significance to me is “pretentiousness”. “Pretentiousness” is a noun, originating from the French “prétention”. Its first form in the English language appeared in the mid 19th century as “pretension”. “Pretentiousness” holds significance to me because it is ingrained in the way I probably present myself and in almost everything that holds my interest . Pretentiousness, by literal…

Follow-Up Strategies for 1 Language Sample Stages of language development have six steps in which typically developing children go through as they develop language (Weitzman & Green Berg, 2002, pg. 37). I have chosen the fifth child from the last six language sample, for describing the strategies. Moreover, language analysis (phonology, syntax, semantics) gave a clear description of the child's strength and weakness in all aspects of language usage. While reviewing, I noticed that child could…
