Utterance

Where most children’s first utterance is “mama,” mine was “book.” In preschool, as other kids scampered around Toys "R" Us, I devoured the shelves of Barnes & Noble. Some go weak in the knees at the scent of chocolate lava cake, but the new book smell has always been my aroma of choice.

Three of the participants are Caucasian women (SN, NB, & JC) , the other two are men; one is Korean (BS) and the other is Mexican (AS). AS is gay, which had influence on the conversation. The…

attentive posture, I communicated genuine interest and complete engagement during the discussion. Moreover, I made appropriate use of minimal responses by maintaining eye contact without staring, nodding my head to confirm understanding, while using utterances that indicated I was paying close attention.

This caused Hamlet to think about the situation he was in, being that his father was killed by his uncle Claudius, who then took…

Thus, through out the novel, Gaskell’s sympathetic views towards the working class and the need to address these concerns are evident. Most importantly, it is Gaskells ability to create an…

In Labov and Waletzky's (1967&1997) view, the complicating action contains the main body of the narrative constructed by narrative clauses and serves the aim of delivering a series of events. As Labov and Waletzky (1997) maintained, it is often difficult to locate the exact end of the complicating action without relying on semantic criteria.
