Reflexive pronoun

to discontent and hopeless. From the opening line to the closing line, we are presented with polarized emotions that are unreconcilable. this sharp turn at the end of the poem, serves as a conclusion that tells the reader how was the travesty. The dialogue with the rapists is a one-way: the rapists ask two questions before apprehending the victim, but the victim does not respond to them. She only reports what occurred that night, which is narrated using the simple past tense. Finally, the reflexive verb form only presents in Spanish allows for the erasure of the subject. While, in English this reflexive verb form felt in disuse by Middle English (e.g. Shakespeare uses bethinks technically, I think, in modern English. In this case, by employing the reflexive case of the verb, the speaker of the poem avoids mentioning her subjects/the rapists (e.g., “me llevaron al yonke” or they took me to the junk yard). However, the Spanish sentence reads “me taken to the junk yard” because the pronoun “they” is embedded in the form of the verb take. Juxtaposition of Dialects Anzaldúa juxtaposes four dialects, namely, Spanish, Spanglish, Chicano and English in this 130-word poem. Therefore, she forces the reader to navigate in trouble water. It opens with a Mexican saying, “a lo macho simón que sí”, which is another way of saying yeah. By doing so, the speaker’s identity is revealed to us.

Personal reflective account I have chosen to use Kolb 's (1931) experiential learning model of reflection to reflect on my personal experience of moving house. I considered this to be the best model to assist me in reflecting on my experience as it allowed me to reflect on what happened, what my experience was, why it happened and what I will do when/if it happened again (McLeod, 2010). What happened? I lived with my parents for 20 years, we had always lived in the same house, so I had never…

my help would solve the problems the clients where encountering, such as social, exclusion, oppression and discrimination. In addition, when the group work was presumably failing to achieve my assumed goals, I was momentarily perplexed as to how to deal with the situation (Hill 2015).

They are both allomorphs of the morpheme ‘a’. The SLI child repeatedly says ‘a elephant’ and ‘a egg’, using the incorrect form. The reason I believe this is an effect of SLI is because the child with normal language is able to use the correct allomorph when needed, for example he says ‘an easy one to make’. With the examples provided it clearly shows that there is a significant developmental difference between children with and without SLI. According to Brown (1973) children go through five…

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…
