Discourse analysis and phonology chapter 4Kaikka Kaikka
This document discusses discourse analysis and phonology. It explains key concepts such as prominence, which refers to stress, pitch or emphasis that adds meaning. Prominence is given to syllables based on the speaker's choice to make certain words salient. The document also discusses intonational units, which divide speech into small units with at least one main prominence. There are different types of tones including fall, rise-fall, fall-rise and rise. Grammatical approaches also look at intonation patterns for question tags, WH questions and yes-no questions. Pitch levels including high, mid and low key are explored across different examples of speaker turns.
There are several types of reading that can occur in a language classroom including oral, silent, intensive, and extensive reading. Intensive reading focuses on linguistic details, vocabulary, and close analysis of the text. It aims to build language knowledge rather than just reading practice. Extensive reading involves reading large amounts of interesting texts to build reading fluency, confidence, and enjoyment. Skimming and scanning are also discussed. Skimming is a quick read to understand the overall meaning and organization, while scanning is searching quickly for specific facts or details. Both skills are useful for second language learners.
The document discusses translation skills and the translation process. It defines key terms like translating, translation, and interpreting. It describes the difference between translating written text and interpreting spoken words. It also outlines the skills needed to be a professional translator, such as language proficiency, cultural knowledge, and subject matter expertise. Additionally, it discusses what makes a good translation and whether translators can work equally well in both language directions.
The document discusses the concepts of correctness and appropriateness in language. Correctness refers to grammatical accuracy, while appropriateness means using the right language for the social context.

When translating, decisions must be made regarding appropriate translation methods and filling cultural gaps between languages.
This document discusses different types of validity in testing:
1. Content validity refers to how well a test measures the specific construct it aims to assess. A test needs to be related to the relevant class content.
2. Criterion-related validity is the degree of agreement between a test and an independent, reliable standard. There are two types: concurrent and predictive validity.
3. Construct validity provides evidence that test items measure the intended underlying abilities. Think-aloud and retrospection methods can provide evidence of construct validity.
Validity in scoring and face validity are also discussed. To improve validity, test specifications and a representative sample of content should be used, and scoring should directly relate to what
This document discusses Saussure's concepts of langue and parole, and key linguistic concepts like linguistic signs, linguistic structure and relationships between elements. It explains that langue refers to the abstract rules and conventions of a language shared by a language community, while parole is the individual usage and performance of language. It describes language as a system with elements in paradigmatic and syntagmatic relationships. Saussure prioritized the synchronic study of language as it exists at a point in time over the diachronic study of language changes over time.

This document provides an introduction to linguistics and language. It defines key linguistics concepts like language, grammar, and linguistic competence. It explains that grammar is the mental system underlying language that encompasses sounds, words, meaning and structure. Grammar has universal properties across languages like sound systems and constraints on word order, but also language-specific properties that can change over time. Grammatical knowledge is largely subconscious for native speakers.
The document discusses corpus linguistics and different types of corpora. It defines corpus linguistics as the study of language based on large collections of electronic texts, known as corpora. It describes general corpora, specialized corpora, historical/diachronic corpora, regional corpora, learner corpora, multilingual corpora, comparable corpora, and parallel corpora. It also discusses corpus annotation, concordancing, frequency and keyword lists, collocation, and software used for corpus analysis.
1) The use of corpus linguistics in lexicography began in the 1950s as a response to the need for empirical language data to analyze words, meanings, and usage. Early corpora like the Brown Corpus and LOB Corpus compiled millions of words but were limited.
2) John Sinclair pioneered the use of larger electronic corpora and the analysis of collocations. Major corpora like the British National Corpus provided balanced samples of written and spoken English totaling over 100 million words.
3) Corpora revolutionized lexicography by providing large samples of authentic language use. Lexicographers can now obtain frequency and context data to define words accurately and identify collocations rather than relying on manual methods. This made
Communicative competence refers to an individual's ability to communicate effectively and appropriately based on the social context. It involves four elements: grammatical competence, sociolinguistic competence, discourse competence, and strategic competence. Grammatical competence is knowledge of grammar rules, sociolinguistic competence is understanding appropriate language use based on social context, discourse competence is coherent language use across sentences, and strategic competence is adapting language when needed due to communication issues.
A Brief History on the Approaches to
Language Testing
In the 1950s, an era of behaviorism and special
attention to constrastive analysis, testing focused on
specific language elements such as the phonological,
grammatical, and lexical contrasts between two
languages.
Between the 1970s and 1980s, communicative theories
of language brought with them a more integrative view of
testing in which specialists claimed that the whole of
communicative event was considerably greater than the
sum of its linguistic element (Clark, 1983; Brown, 2004: 8)
Definition of Language Testing
According to Oller (1979, 1-2), a language testing is a
device that tries to assess how much has been learned
in a foreign language course, or some part of a course
by learners.
According to Brown (2004: 3), a language testing is a
method of measuring a person’s ability, knowledge, or
performance in a given domain.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
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

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.
Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
