Introduction

Etruscan is an ancient italic culture that was developed from a prehistoric civilization referred to as Villanova. The Etruscans mainly settled within the central region of Italy specifically between Tiber and Arno rivers. The Etruscan civilization was once a brilliant culture that has disappeared over time but represents the foundation for ancient development of Roman art and culture as well as the Italian Renaissance. The Etruscans were considered as the first “superpowers” in the entire peninsula currently referred to as Italy. In fact the Etruscans established most cities in Western Mediterranean by working alongside Greeks. Cities such as Pisa, ...

Introduction

Systems of writing have been cited as one of the earliest and greatest inventions of human beings. Kanji is a broad term used to refer to logographic characters widely used in the Japanese writing system. In Japanese, Kanji simply means “Han Characters.” Kanji is therefore inherently Chinese which was adopted by the Japanese due to their close interactions in trade in the early years dating back to around 57AD (Rodgers 25). As a result, therefore, some modifications and alterations have been done on the initial Japanese Kanji to fit it into the Japanese language. Japanese Kanji has undergone tremendous ...

I learnt to read the alphabets when I was three years old. It is my mother who taught me to read the alphabet before I joined formal schooling. This process of reading was a bit unorthodox since I learnt specific letters of the alphabet before others and, consequently, how to put them together. Specifically, I learnt to read A-F and then G-S and finally T-Z. My mother made sure that I was supplied with picture books and read me bed stories regularly. Every night, I would sit on the lap of my mother and father, and they would read ...

There is an anecdote about Wittgenstein that seems to encapsulate his presence in the minds of 20th and 21st century theorists; Keynes was waiting for Wittgenstein to arrive and spoke to his companion, ‘God has arrived and on the afternoon train.’ It is hardly presumptive to say that theories of language, logic, and philosophy writ large have been forever changed by wittgenstein. However, the particularities of these changes are often confused and misrepresented. The irony then is how such confusion and misrepresentation demonstrate the work Wittgenstein was trying to accomplish in the first place: to assess how language constructs ...

Intro to Linguistics Midterm Essay

What is phonetics? Explain what the phonetic alphabet is and provide some examples. What advantage does the phonetic alphabet have over regular spelling? Why do linguists use it? The word phonetics describes the part of linguistics that involves studying how human speech sounds. The phonetic alphabet is designed to be a language-neutral way of expressing these sounds so that it can be applied to all languages, regardless of alphabet. For example, the vowel in the English “sit” can be written as /ɪ/, signifying that it is a short vowel. The vowels in the English “books” can be written ...

Introduction

The world we live in today has not always been what it is but has been built to what it is today. While little is known of the Western world, specifically the Americas before explorers such as Christopher Columbus discovered it, there exists rich literature of ancient civilizations that have shaped all spheres of modern life. The most recognized civilizations include the Egyptian civilization, the Roman Empire, and the Greek civilization. The fall of one civilization led to the rise of another civilization and so forth. The earliest recorded civilization, however, is the Egyptian civilization and scholars have credited ...

Within the classroom over the past 12 years of my experience, I have experienced numerous challenges due to the fact that I have worked with students with disabilities from age birth to sixth grade. Teaching within itself can be met head-on with challenges but when throwing the added factor that many of the students with whom I have worked with have had some sort of physical, mental or emotional disability, one instructional challenge I have faced is teaching a child who was not only disabled but could barely speak Spanish, which was used primarily in the ...

Article Analysis

The cries of the goblin merchants give the story its haunting quality. Lizzie is more sensible than Laura, so she is more protective when it comes to heeding the cries, and she ends up protecting Laura.

Repeating Lizzie’s warnings over and over again provides an “aural lesson” for the reader, as well as for Laura.

There is some disagreement as to whether the nature of the cries is local in context or provides a larger comment about the class war. Rossetti’s poem is somewhere between the sounds of the streets around her and the literary evocations of that city that transform sounds into words. London had a reputation for being filled with a huge array of noises ...

Cryptography is an art that is involved in writing and interpreting secret messages. It involves encrypting messages into symbols, numbers, and letters that form a different meaning to conceal the message. In other words, it is the use of codes to conceal a message. In the past, cryptography was very common, especially during epochs of combat where it was deployed to communicate coded messages (Bauer 34). It was an important tool that a particular community would use to conceal messages from their enemies. Today, this mode of communication is rarely used. However, codes are commonly used in technology, especially ...

The History of Cryptology

The concept of "security" covers a wide range of interests of both individuals and entire nations. In present days, a prominent place is given to the issue of information security, the protection of confidential business information from various rival groups. The importance of keeping information in secret was already known since ancient times. With the advent of writing, there was the danger of reading it by undesirable persons. There were three main ways to protect information. One of them is supposed to protect it by forceful methods: The secret information (documents) was protected by the responsible persons.

At a very young age, I was subjected to and was surrounded by learning materials for reading and writing. These materials include charts, books, and flash cards that my parents occasionally read out for me. By age 4, I was able to recognize the alphabet and to associate the pictures of animals with the corresponding letter. This skillset is primarily due to having repeated the same exercises every day to familiarize myself with the alphabet. However, simply learning the alphabet does not entail learning how to read. In order to say you have learned how to read, you need ...

French language is an intricate language that involves many rules that are quite different from the English language. For English speakers, learning French is not always an easy task. In many of the French words, some letters are spelled out but only remain silent for reasons that most French speakers don’t even understand. Moreover, special characters that are not part of the English alphabet are present in French language, like Ç, Ǽ, and Œ. Some letters or characters, on the other hand, take on multiple sounds. However, no matter how complex it is to learn the French language, the ...

Listening and speaking are the best means of learning any language. Reading and writing only complicate the process of learning. I am talking about my experience with English language, which I believe is the most complex language I have ever come across. Coming from Kwait, Arabic is my first language. English, being a global language, has had a huge impact on my country. Consequently, the children there are supposed to learn English since grade one. English had always been a trouble for me. It was difficult because I didn’t have the favourable atmosphere at home. As I told ...

As a native speaker of Arabic, learning to speak and write in English as my second language has been a very difficult task. While I love English, I think that its rules of grammar and pronunciation are very difficult for most newcomers. The main challenges I have faced in mastering the English language have been learning a new alphabet, and a new way to read and write. Whereas Arabic speakers write from right to left, English speakers write from left to right. In addition, there is a completely different alphabet, of 26 letters. Many times, when a person takes ...

Establishing a national language policy in Malang Da is challenging, considering the fact that there are various ethnic groups that share this land, who have no common language, hence no possibility to exchange communication and to coexist as a national state. This aspect also impacts the national identity of Malang Da and fro establishing a national identity for this country, one significant aspect is to set a national language policy.

We suggest that establishing a national language policy is the preferred solution to setting one official language, precisely because the existence of the various ethnic groups (Akang, Dazakh, the Pulao, the Lua, the Kaw ...

Since the beginning of time, education has constantly been a part of our way of life. However, the reason that everyone learns differently because every person is different. Of course, education and learn begins at childhood; whether from a parent or school teacher. Eventually, there comes a point in life when every person is taken over by a sense of independence and that is when people find their will to learn more in their own way. This passion for education and learning has been demonstrated by two separate essays, namely “Learning to Read and Write” by Frederick Douglass, and “The Lonely, ...

Japanese writing uses both Kanji and Kana. Kana includes both Hiragana and Katakana alphabets. A long time ago, there was no alphabet in Japan, so the characters for writing were borrowed from neighboring China. As ancient China was then ruled by the Han (Kan) Dynasty, all the characters were called Kanji and the Chinese writing is called Kanbun. Because kanji has many strokes, it takes a very long time to write and to memorize. Thus, the Japanese invented the Hiragana and Katakana. Women used the Hiragana alphabet in creating their letters and diaries. An example of the literature written in ...

Japan has stood significantly as one of the most powerful nations in contemporary times, particularly due to its strong political and economic foundations and technological advancements that have since led it to become a strong innovator. Although Japan took only less than three decades to rebuild itself following the devastation brought by its defeat in the Second World War, one could not simply ignore the fact that it has also went through a vast series of historical maladies and errors (Mason & Caiger 361-374). The intriguing circumstances behind the formation of Japan as one of the most politically and economically powerful nations in ...

Introduction

English is the third widely spoken language on earth and is one which most people in non-English speaking nations are learning as the second language. The acquisition of the second language is a process that is dependent on many factors that range from personal aspects to the L2 relationship to the L1. In this paper I will discuss similarities and differences of Vietnamese and English. I will also discuss factors that affect the learning and acquisition process (Emmitt, et al. 97).

The Binary System is the simplest numeration of all positional number systems. The basic of this system is discovered by Gottfried Leibniz, who was also the co-creator of Calculus, in his work Explication de l'arithmétique binaire in 1679. In this work, he was trying to translate verbal statements into mathematical ones. Yi Jing, which was said to be created by the so-called Third millennium father of Chinese writing Fu Xi, depicts yin and yang. It was represented in binary, with yin as 0 and yang as 1, involving eight trigrams and sixty-four hexagrams. Leibniz’s works were ...

2) Introduction Looking back on the history of how communication was developed, it is unimaginable that the generations today reached the level of development in the language and scripts. From the cave paintings of the Homo sapiens to the pictograms in Mesopotamia that tells stories through pictures in a chronological manner and to the revolutionary alphabet that simplified and decreased symbols. This is a revolution in the field of communication as it combined several symbols to form words and sounds.

In order to have a clear understanding of deaf history, then it is better hanging out in places that are dominated by deaf people, such as deaf clubs and centers. The history of the deaf community, through a literature review, is depicted as being ...

Relatively small Korean peninsula is rich for mineral resources in the North and for fertile lands in the South, the peninsula is surrounded by seas that are full of fish.

Korea is one of the countries that adopted the writing of the Chinese for a prolonged period. King Sejong developed the Korean alphabet which became popular as a Korean vernacular writing system. This system swept away the Chinese writing because the population of the Koreans was in the increase and this greatly contributed to the king’s invention of the Korean vernacular. This ensured that the Koreans became formalized with the learning process since they could easily understand their own vernacular. Chinese was a formal writing and this limited the systems to informal writing and traditional stories copying (Kim-Renaud, 46). This lead ...

The effects of bilingualism in a minority language on third language acquisition

Abstract In the area of language acquisition, bilinguals differ from monolinguals in several ways. It is accepted that previous language knowledge is facilitative in developing proficiency in a new language and both the learner’s native and non-native languages can be sources of influence in acquiring a new language. Given the evidence that in some social situations knowledge of a second language is facilitative in learning a third, the paper investigates to what extent knowledge of a widely-spoken but non-official local language can be shown to be facilitative in this way. The students in this study are ...

In her article “Remembering Writing, Remembering Reading,” Deborah Brandt provides some intriguing revelations on the motivation behind the early experiences of reading and writing. According to Brandt, people within the family encourage reading more than writing. As a result, children get the motivation to read because they can comfortably do it within the precincts of the family. On the contrary, writing is not expressed explicitly within the family environment as compared to reading. Consequently, writing in most cases begins as a self initiative rather than a parent-driven initiative. For most of the subjects interviewed by Brandt, the stories were almost the ...

I cannot remember much about my learning socialization, especially at the very early ages, but I remember that when I started to learn my environment, there were many toys in my room, including cars, teddy bears, a toy gun among others. There were also a number of charts on common household items such as TV, knife, cups, plates etc, a chart on body parts, domestic animals among others. This means that my early learning on how to read and write relied on some of this information in my room. Some of my early memories of learning relate to the activities of ...

(937 words) Latin became the language of Roman Imperial power and therefore all the land and peoples were familiar with the common form of ancient Latin after they were conquered by Roman military force. The question is - Why from all the languages did Latin become so popular. On the one hand Latin was the official language of the Roman bureaucracy. On the other hand a less formal Latin was used by the soldiers who conquered different regions and because some of them stayed to marry local women and raise their family, the military helped spread Latin.
