Alliteration is a literary device where words are used in close proximity to each other that start with the same consonant sound, usually at the beginning of words or stressed syllables. It was commonly used in Old English poetry as a metrical device where the initial consonant sounds were repeated throughout lines. While alliteration is still used today for musicality in poems, songs, nursery rhymes and advertisements, it served as an essential part of the structure of Old English poetry where it helped carry the rhythm.

The document discusses various translation techniques including: borrowing, calque, literal translation, transposition, modulation, equivalence, and adaptation. It provides examples of each technique applied to common words and phrases translated between Spanish and English. The techniques aim to replicate the intended meaning and situation from the original language using different wording suited for the target language and culture.
Assimilation, Dissimilation, T-allophones. Flap T
This document discusses assimilation, which is when the pronunciation of a sound is affected by neighboring sounds. It provides examples of different types of assimilation including regressive, progressive, and coalescent assimilation. It also describes rules for how consonant and voicing sounds assimilate in terms of place and manner of articulation in English. Specific examples are given for how assimilation affects pronunciation of plurals, possessives, verbs, and other parts of speech.
Shakespeare's sonnets
Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets. His sonnets talk about love, friendship etc.The sonnets to the young man express overwhelming, obsessional love. The main cause of debate has always been whether it remained platonic or became physical.The first 17 poems, traditionally called the procreation sonnets, are addressed to the young man urging him to marry and have children in order to immortalize his beauty by passing it to the next generation.Other sonnets express the speaker's love for the young man; brood upon loneliness, death, and the transience of life; seem to criticise the young man for preferring a rival poet; express ambiguous feelings for the speaker's mistress; and pun on the poet's name. The final two sonnets are allegorical treatments of Greek epigrams referring to the "little love-god" Cupid.
Collocation
A collocation is a combination of words that naturally go together, like "fast food" or "quick shower", as opposed to unnatural combinations. There are several types of collocations including adjective-noun, verb-noun, and adverb-adjective combinations. Learning collocations can make your language more natural and help you express yourself in a richer way, as our brains process language in chunks rather than single words. It is important to learn collocations, notice them when reading, and practice using them.
Assimilation in English Language
Assimilation is a connected speech phenomenon where adjacent phonemes influence each other and become more similar. It occurs when the mouth and vocal cords start forming the beginning sounds of the next word before finishing the last sound. There are different types of assimilation that can occur based on what phonemes are influencing each other between adjacent words. Further practice is needed to fully understand assimilation and its various types.
Australian english
This document discusses the key lexical and grammatical features of Australian English. Lexically, Australian English has borrowed words from indigenous Australian languages as well as other varieties of English. It also uses many colloquial expressions and idioms. Grammatically, it features pronouns like "yous" and "you guys", deletion of verbs like "have", double negation, and distinctive discourse features like ending sentences with "but". However, variation exists across regions and social groups in Australia.
Lecture_14_PHRASEOLOGICAL_UNITS_IN_ENGLISH.ppt
This document discusses phraseological units in English. It begins by defining phraseology as a branch of linguistics that studies phraseological units. There are various terms used to describe phraseological units such as idioms, set phrases, and phraseological units. The document then discusses criteria for identifying phraseological units, including semantic and structural criteria. It outlines three main approaches to studying phraseological units: semantic, functional, and contextual. Finally, it describes several classifications of phraseological units based on semantic, structural, and functional factors.

Metonymy in Stylistics
Metonymy is a figure of speech where an associated thing or concept is referred to by the name of something else closely related to it. It is commonly used in both literature and everyday speech. For example, "pen" can stand in for "written word" and "sword" for "military aggression." Metonymy is based on an understood association between the thing referenced and the thing used for reference, unlike metaphor which relies on analogy. Examples of common metonymic references include "Hollywood" for the American film industry. Its main purpose is to add variety and interest to writing rather than repetitive phrasing.
Speech Acts And Speech Events, By Dr.Shadia Yousef Banjar.Pptx
The document discusses speech acts and speech events. It provides definitions and examples of key concepts:
1. Speech acts are the basic units of linguistic communication and can take the form of requests, apologies, greetings, etc.
2. Speech events are longer interactions composed of multiple speech acts that share a common purpose, topic, participants, and language variety. Examples include conversations, interviews.
3. Performatives are utterances like "I promise" that perform an action in their saying, as opposed to just describing something. Felicity conditions determine whether a speech act succeeds or fails based on the context and participants.
Lexicology
Lexicology is the study of words and vocabulary in language. It examines properties of words like origin, development and current usage. Lexicology is concerned with individual words, phrases and morphemes. There are two main types - general lexicology which studies vocabulary irrespective of language, and special lexicology which describes the vocabulary of a specific language. Lexicology is connected to other linguistic fields like grammar, phonetics, stylistics and cultural studies. Word meaning has different types including conceptual, associative, stylistic and grammatical. Phraseological units and free word groups are also studied in lexicology.
seven deadly sins in dr faustus
This document discusses the seven deadly sins and their origin in medieval times. It provides examples of each sin: pride, wrath, envy, covetousness, gluttony, and sloth. The document then discusses how Christopher Marlowe illustrated the seven deadly sins in his play "Dr. Faustus," in which the main character Faustus sells his soul to the devil and is led down a path of committing the deadly sins. The devils put on a parade of the seven deadly sins to entertain Faustus and lure him further from salvation. Pride leads the procession, as pride was seen as the root of all sins.
Chapter 6 Language and Politics
The document discusses language and politics in multilingual societies. It begins with the biblical story of the Tower of Babel, where God confuses human languages. It then discusses how the appropriateness of a language depends on factors like who one is talking to, where, why, and when. No language is inherently better or worse. Language is central to identity, as seen with Native Americans and expectations to speak English as citizens. The document outlines differences in dialects and negative attitudes toward them, as well as misconceptions that dialects are incorrect or low intellect. It concludes that all people should have equal linguistic rights and that every language/dialect is valid based on context of the communication.
Semantics
Semantics is the study of meanings of words, phrases and sentences. It involves analyzing conceptual meanings, which are the basic components of a word's meaning, and associative meanings, which are connotations attached to a word. Semantics also examines how words fulfill roles like agent, theme, and experiencer within sentences, and lexical relations between words such as synonyms, antonyms, and polysemy.
What is applied linguistics
Applied linguistics is the branch of linguistics concerned with practical applications of language studies, such as language teaching, translation, and speech therapy. It involves solving language-related problems or addressing language-related concerns. Early applied linguistics work focused on improving foreign language teaching using a scientific approach. Over time, applied linguistics has evolved to encompass many disciplines and contexts involving language issues in fields such as law, speech pathology, and language planning. Modern applied linguists study topics like multilingualism, literacy, and language policies with the goal of providing practical insights for language users.
A doll’s house by Henrik Ibsen
Henrik Ibsen's 1879 play A Doll's House revolves around Nora Helmer, a housewife living in 19th century Norway. The play shocked audiences by having Nora abandon her husband and children at the end to find her own identity. Ibsen uses the characters and their relationships to critique gender roles and social norms of the Victorian era. Through revelations of past deceptions, the play builds tension as Nora realizes she has been living unfulfilled in a doll-like existence and decides to forge her own path independent from men.
Anglo saxon period
The Anglo-Saxon period in Britain lasted from 449 to 1066 AD. It was a time of war and conflict as various Germanic tribes invaded and established kingdoms across the island. The period saw the introduction of Old English and the conversion to Christianity. By the late 10th century, Danish invasions had resulted in much of England coming under Danish rule until Alfred the Great reestablished Saxon control in the south. The Norman conquest of 1066 marked the end of Anglo-Saxon rule.
translation method
The document discusses various translation strategies, techniques and methods. It defines translation strategy and discusses three global strategies employed by translators. It then discusses translation methods and procedures, and defines word-for-word, literal, faithful, semantic and idiomatic translation. Direct and oblique translation techniques are also explained, including borrowing, calque, literal translation, transposition, modulation, reformulation, adaptation and compensation.
Semantics
The document discusses various lexical semantic relations between words such as synonyms, antonyms, hyponyms, homophones, polysemy, and collocations. It defines each relation and provides examples to illustrate how the meaning of words can be related or contrasted in multiple ways. The key relations covered are synonyms (words with similar meanings), antonyms (opposite meanings), hyponyms (a specific example of a general category), and polysemy (a single word with multiple related meanings).
Gricean maxims.howtoavoid pdf
Grice proposed the Cooperative Principle and conversational maxims to explain how implicatures arise in conversation. The maxims include Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner. Violations or "floutings" of the maxims allow listeners to infer meanings beyond what is literally said, known as implicatures. Experimental evidence shows that comprehenders rapidly integrate contextual information to derive implicatures, supporting the view that language processing involves general assumptions of cooperation rather than being driven solely by linguistic form.

Spoonerism
This summary provides the key details from the document in 3 sentences:
The document discusses Spoonerisms, which are accidental word mix-ups where sounds or letters are swapped, like saying "a well-boiled icicle" instead of "a well-oiled bicycle". It focuses on Reverend William Archibald Spooner, who was known for frequently making Spoonerism slips of the tongue. The passage includes several examples of Spooner's accidental word mix-ups and spoonerized phrases, and credits him with popularizing the term "Spoonerism".
Presupposition
The document discusses various types and theories of presupposition. It defines presupposition as information that a speaker assumes is already known by listeners. There are different types of presuppositions triggered by lexical items and grammatical constructions, such as existential, factive, and structural presuppositions. Theories view presupposition as either a property of sentences (semantic view) or of speaker beliefs (pragmatic view). Presuppositions are assumed to be part of the common ground between speakers but can be introduced through accommodation.
Foregrounding
1. Literature uses techniques like defamiliarization and foregrounding to draw attention to language and arouse emotions in readers through deviations from ordinary usage.
2. Foregrounding refers to stylistic effects that make language prominent through deviations at the phonetic, semantic or other levels.
3. These deviations slow readers down and prolong reading time, allowing feelings to emerge that enrich understanding of the text.
Sociolinguistics
This document discusses the field of sociolinguistics. It begins by defining sociolinguistics as the study of the relationship between language and society. The main areas studied in sociolinguistics are then outlined, including language varieties according to social class, region, and occupation. Additional topics covered are language contact between pidgins and creoles, language maintenance and shift, the causes and social aspects of language change, and approaches to language planning. In conclusion, sociolinguistics analyzes language use in real social contexts and considers language to be a social and cultural phenomenon.
Characteristics of Eng as International Language
This document discusses English as an international language from three perspectives - Global English, World Englishes, and English as a Lingua Franca. Global English refers to the spread of American English through media and culture. World Englishes recognizes localized versions that have adapted to other cultures. Lingua Franca English is used for intercultural communication without relating to a single native culture. The document also examines how non-native English speakers may express identity and culture through the language, drawing on phrases from their own language or an emerging ELF identity. It questions whether English is truly used only for communication or also cultural representation.
What is co text
Co-text refers to the words surrounding a particular word or passage within a text that provide context and help determine meaning. For example, the words "door", "keyboard", and "the problem" provide co-text for the meaning of the word "key". Co-text refers to the linguistic environment of a word, while context refers to the non-verbal environment in which a word is used, such as images that could help explain the meaning of the word "goal". Understanding the co-text surrounding a word, such as verbs that commonly occur with "goal", can help English learners use that word properly.
Alliteration - An overview with examples
This document provides information about alliteration, including:
1. Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in words close together, such as "fluttering flowers". It can occur at the start of words or on stressed syllables.
2. Examples of alliteration are used in poetry, prose, sayings, and advertising to emphasize words and add rhythm. Famous poets like Tennyson and Kipling made use of alliteration in their works.
3. There are rules for what constitutes proper alliteration and exceptions involving certain consonant sounds. Alliteration twisters and examples in different genres are provided to illustrate its use.
Stylistics introduction, Definitions of Stylistics
This document defines stylistics and discusses its branches. Stylistics is the analysis of linguistic variation in actual language use. It examines how the same content can be expressed differently and analyzes styles across texts. Stylistics considers the natural properties of language that ensure intended effects. The document also distinguishes between spoken and written language at the phonetic, lexical, and syntactic levels, and categorizes words as common, formal, technical, and slang.

Alliteration
Alliteration is defined as the repetition of initial consonant sounds in multiple words. It is commonly used in tongue twisters and makes writing more creative and engaging for readers. Examples of alliteration include company names like Dunkin' Donuts, PayPal, and Coca-Cola which use repeated initial sounds to make the brand names catchy and memorable.
Alliteration
The poem discusses finding spiritual lessons from nature like love and piety in leaves and flowers. Even if the world mocks this belief, it will not bring fear, grief, or confusion. The speaker will build an altar in the fields with the sky as a dome and wildflower fragrance as incense, and offer their sacrifice to God without being despised.
English (3 alliteration, assonance & consonance)
This document defines and provides examples of three literary devices: alliteration, assonance, and consonance. Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds, assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds, and consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds within or at the end of words. Examples of each device are drawn from Shakespeare's "Seven Ages of Man" to illustrate their uses in poetry.
Structuralism, post structuralism and deconstruction
Structuralism first emerged in the 19th century and was further developed in the 20th century by Ferdinand de Saussure. It approaches the analysis of narratives as cultural productions and views the structure and relationships within a text as more important than the writer or critic. Post-structuralism built upon these ideas, arguing that meaning is not fixed and that all elements within a text can act as signifiers for other elements, with no single interpretation holding authority.
Language based approach
This document discusses using literature in language learning and describes two main approaches: a language-based approach and using literature as content. It focuses on the language-based approach and stylistic analysis. With this approach, literary texts are analyzed closely to understand how linguistic features convey meaning and help students interpret the text. Stylistic analysis uses familiar grammatical terms and procedures to help students appreciate literature and expand their language knowledge. The document provides steps for identifying linguistic features in a text and developing questions to help students analyze and understand the text based on those features.
Stylistics-LET Review
Stylistics is the study of literary discourse from a linguistic perspective, examining how language choices create meaning and artistic effect. There are several branches of stylistics including lexical, grammatical, phonological, functional, individual author styles, and encoding/decoding. Key concepts include tropes like metaphor and metonymy, sound techniques like alliteration, and structural devices like irony and register elements. Stylistics aims to interpret and evaluate literary works through the lens of their expressive linguistic features.
Step by step stylistic analysis
The document provides a step-by-step guide for analyzing the style and techniques used in a non-fiction text. It outlines key areas to examine such as the audience, theme, tone, emotion, diction, syntax, organization, perspective and more. Examples are given for each category to illustrate what to look for and how different writing choices can impact the overall style.
What is Style and Stylistics? Traditional, Modern and Linguistic Concept of S...
Stylistics is a branch of linguistics that studies style in a scientific way. It applies the methods of linguistics to analyze stylistic variations in language use. There are different concepts of style - traditionally it was seen as proper adornment of thought, but modern linguistics sees it arising from choices in expression. Stylistics objectively analyzes texts at phonological, syntactic and semantic levels to understand an author's style and how it conveys meaning and attitude. It encompasses both literary and general styles of language. The consistent linguistic features in a text are its main area of study.
Stylistics
This document provides an introduction to stylistics as a branch of linguistics. It defines key concepts such as style, defines stylistics as the scientific study of styles of language use, and outlines the main levels of linguistic description used in stylistic analysis such as phonology, lexis, syntax and semantics. It also discusses the scope of stylistics in literary versus general texts and its development over time.

Literary devices
This document defines and provides examples of various literary devices used in poetry:
- Word stress refers to prominent syllables in words like "PHOTOgraph".
- Rhyme is the repetition of similar sounding words at the end of lines, like "wool" and "full".
- Alliteration is the repetition of beginning consonant sounds, like "Sally sells seashells".
- Onomatopoeia uses words that imitate sounds, such as "buzz" for bees.
- Assonance repeats vowel sounds within words, while consonance repeats consonant sounds.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Alliteration as a stylistic device
- 3. DEFINITION In a basic definition of alliteration, we would say that the initial consonant sounds of words are repeated. Some examples: sweet, sweep, swallow. But the technical definition is a relationship between words when the following is present:
- 4. • Consonants just before the first accented vowels are the same. • The vowels are not pronounced alike. • The following consonants are different. Here are a few examples: sweet – swallow, lime – like, fellow – fat
- 5. J. A. Cuddon’s Definition • It is a figure of speech in which consonant, especially at the beginning of words, or stressed syllables, are repeated. It is a very old device related to verse but it is used in prose. In old English poetry Alliteration was a continual and an essential part of the metrical scheme.
- 6. Examples • "The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew, The furrow followed free; We were the first that ever burst Into that silent sea." (Samuel Taylor Coleridge, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner") • "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." (Henry David Thoreau, Walden)
- 8. • Alliteration is common in nonsense verse: Be lenient with lobsters, and ever kind to crabs, And be not disrespectful to cuttle-fish or dabs; Chase not the Cochin-China, chaff not the ox obese, And babble not of feather-beds in company with geese.
- 10. It is found also in tongue-twisters: 1. Angela Abigail Applewhite ate anchovies and artichokes. 2. Bertha Bartholomew blew big, blue bubbles.
- 12. • It is in jingles: Dingle dingle doosey, The cat’s in the well, The dog’s away to Bellingen To buy the bairn a bell.
- 13. • And in Pater, beloved of drill sergeants and the like: Now then, you horrible shower of heathen, have I your complete hattention? Hotherwise I shall heave the whole hairy lot of you into the salt box where you will live on hopeful hallucination far as long as hit pleases God and the commanding hofficer.
- 14. • Alliteration gave the language a musical quality. It played the same role as rhyme in Old English poetry. • Alliteration is wildly used in Modern English. • Songs, nursery rhymes, newspaper headlines and adds often contain ALLITERATION
- 17. REMEMBER
- 19. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HATENTION
