Neologisms, or new words, often occur in journalistic texts to concisely convey information and for expressive effect. Translators must render these new words in the target language considering factors such as text type, creative traditions, and what is familiar to the target reader. Theorists have proposed different reasons for the emergence of neologisms in language and have focused on classifying neologisms and strategies for dealing with them, though they have not agreed on universal strategies for translating different types. Examples are given from newspapers to illustrate new words that have not appeared in prior processed texts.

2) The document also covers sound changes involving insertion, deletion, or modification of sounds within words through processes like epenthesis, metathesis, apocope, syncope, and apophony which involve internal changes to indicate grammatical information.
3) Examples of sound changes from other languages like Spanish and Tagalog are provided to illustrate how these phonological processes can vary across languages.

The document summarizes a study that analyzed English varieties used by Indonesian students and the potential barriers in international communication. It identified three main varieties: 1) Long vowels caused issues for Papuan and Kupang students. 2) Initial "z" and "sh" sounds caused issues for Toraja students. 3) Consonants like "b", "d", "g", "j", and "th" caused issues for Javanese students. The study also found that influences from the Indonesian language like substituting "v" for "f" and issues with diphthongs could cause barriers. However, overall the assessors were still able to understand the main ideas despite some pronunciation differences. The document recommends
Emarc Level 2 Presentation 7.pptx
This document provides an English language lesson on phonics, vocabulary, grammar and reading related to the ocean. It includes:
1) Lists of words demonstrating the 'oi' and 'oy' vowel diphthongs, along with sample sentences.
2) A conversation and vocabulary about ocean life like dolphins, whales and fish.
3) Lessons and examples about parts of speech - nouns, pronouns and verbs. Collective nouns, who/which, principal verb parts are explained.
4) A short reading passage about the ocean covering its size, ecosystems and importance as a food source for humans. Accompanying comprehension questions follow.
Pronunciation
The document discusses several key differences between the phonological systems of English and Portuguese. It notes that English has a higher level of phonetic signaling, with more monosyllabic words compared to Portuguese. It also analyzes differences in phonemes (sounds) and rules, noting the poor correspondence between English spelling and pronunciation. The document emphasizes that these differences can cause interference for Portuguese learners of English, and that explicit instruction in pronunciation is important from the beginning of learning.
Weak ,Strong Syllables2
The document discusses weak and strong syllables in English. Weak syllables tend to be unstressed and may contain reduced vowel sounds like schwa. They often occur in function words like "the" and prefixes/suffixes. Strong syllables are stressed and have clearer vowel sounds. The types of segments that can make up syllables and examples of words with different syllable structures are provided.

The document discusses barriers to integrating technology in learning and teaching from perspectives in Australia, Malaysia, the USA, Europe, and Scotland. The main barriers identified are lack of time to develop technology-integrated lessons, lack of teacher motivation and confidence to use new technologies, and older or more experienced teachers being less likely to embrace new technologies due to being more risk-averse and set in traditional teaching methods. Students reported wanting academics to make more use of technology in their teaching. The document proposes ways for the PUMEC project to support greater use of technology by teachers, such as sharing best practices, promoting technology use in initial teacher training, and providing training opportunities.
