Semantic similarity

Sanders and Rushdie Analytical The globalization of the world, beginning in the late twentieth century and still an ongoing phenomenon today, has brought unprecedented prosperity to the world, enabling those who could afford it new modern conveniences and an enthrallingly cosmopolitan way of life. But the same forces of globalization also deprived once-proud ancient indigenous peoples of their culture, imbuing their children’s minds with imported American values. Globalization, in light of…

Introduction Similarities and Differences One similarity between L1 and L2 learners is that they follow a similar pattern of development despite some exceptions and variations among learners. For example, how to make basic sounds, then words, phrases and sentences. Both go through a silent period while they are listening to and learning language. According to Ipek (2009), L1 learners go through a silent stage when they are trying to make sense of language and L2 learners, who do not comprehend…

In tracing how William Butler Yeats influenced Seamus Heaney, it is significant to note similarities in their backgrounds. Yeats was intensely mindful of his role as a national poet/politician representing all Irish. Heaney also evolved into a definitive poet for the entire island. Both transitioned from being primarily Irish poets to world poets as evidenced by their winning of individual Nobel prizes seventy years apart. Like Yeats, Heaney was recognized globally, as likely to lecture at…

INTRODUCTION Why is the red color in the stop sign and why does green mean "go"? Why does the bride wear white, and black is the color of mourning and sadness? Why does an optimist see the world in bright colors and a romantic person pursues the "blue dream"? This work discusses color and its place in culture. A lot of things in the reality surrounding us we perceive by means of colors and through them. Color terms bear in themselves much more information than it might seem at first glance.…

Perception and expectation of citizens is an important factor in urban planning, settlement and management. Hence, there is a need of a participatory citizen centric planning of urban settlement based on spatial data. These perception and expectation may be represented in terms of emotions. Determining Urban Emotions is an approach which can be used to map different types of emotions associated with urbanization. In the recent years, some new methods have been presented for the area of urban and…

Long-term memory is exactly that. It is stored information that can be accessed at any time. Whether it is “declarative memory (factual information), procedural memory (skills), semantic memory (general memory), or episodic memory (personal knowledge)”, it can all be redeemed because it is intended for a long period of time. (Feldman, Robert S. "The Foundations of Memory." Psychology and Your Life. N.p.: McGraw-Hill Learning Solutions…

Virophages are essentially parasitic in nature, much in the same way as traditional satellite viruses. It is not without controversy that distinctions between satellite viruses and virophages are described. The difference between the two often seem more semantic than factual and more supported by conjecture than observation. Not to say there is no room for agreement. The primary and notable distinction between a satellite virus and a virophage is that virophages to one degree or another inhibit…

3.2.2 Theoretical redefinition One of the purposes of this research is to strive for a re-conceptualization of the term narrative, in which a more holistic approach can be used as a mean for recognition, capable of opening channels for academia to work in favor of peoples whose communities have been either systematically denied or oppressed. Therefore, the narrative definition, should considered that regardless of the different perspectives of history, none of the should be disregarded,…

During this essay, I will explain why Lewis’s understanding of counterfactuals develops the need for transitivity, and argue that although the notion of causal transitivity is useful to us (and necessary under Lewis’s 1978 account of counterfactual analysis), Lewis himself fails to provide an adequate response to meaningful counterexamples against it. Finally, I will present and evaluate an alternative rebuttal to these counterexamples, concluding that the transitivity of causation is not as…

difference between one’s L1 dialect and SAE as well as one’s amount of exposure to SAE. Among both African American English and Hawaii Creole English there are varieties and differences. Although all are forms of English with shared words and some similarities in grammar patterns which the learner may understand spoken when spoken in SAE, the degree of differences included in the factors previously discussed play a major role in the ease or difficulty in which one learns to write SAE.…
