As more information about past human societies became known, the theories and concepts surrounding culture changed. The concepts of culture and culture changed shifted from an…

As the novelist Haruki Murakami wrote, “Now, though, I realize that all I can place in the imperfect vessel of writing are imperfect memories and imperfect thoughts” (12). A work of literature is imperfect in the sense that it is more or less related to and restricted by the social context in which it is written and is a memory-carrier of its own culture. Sophocles’ Attic tragedy Antigone carries memories of sociopolitical concerns over the future development and fertility of the city Athens.…

2.2. Speaking and the Role of Vocabulary in the History of Second Language Pedagogy Speaking in a second language is regarded as important as the other skills; however, it has not received as much attention in the history of language learning.

This literature review will discuss the alternate points of view on dialect and character by Thornborrow, Edwards, Weber and Horner, and their perspectives. The idea is to study, examine and demonstrate the distinctions and similitudes as spoken about by these author's, and state whether I concur or differ their work. Similarly, I will express why Tabouret– Keller's work varies in a way to deal with dialect and character. Dialect and personality is for the most part recognized as who and what…

The phrase sound patterning is best defined when broken down, as Gibbons and Whitely have done in their forthcoming work Style and Cognition; here they define phonetics as ‘the study of speech sounds’ and phonology a ‘the…

I chose to immerse myself into the Italian culture. Choosing this culture was not difficult because I am, according to AncestryDNA, 75% Italian and would love to learn more about where I come from. The only exposure that I have gotten in relation to the culture was when I traveled to Italy in June of 2017 and by living at home with my extended Italian family. After extensive research, I learned a hefty amount of information on Italian culture. For the course, I was required to download two…
