The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

J.R (John Rupert) Firth was born in Keighley,
Yorkshire, England on June 17, 1890. He attended the local
grammar school.
After which he studied at Leeds University, obtaining his BA
and MA in history. He also briefly taught history at a Leeds
teacher training college.
He was influenced by many great linguists for their great ideas
and theories. Therefore, he decided to take part in the field of
linguistics for the sake of improvements in his ideas related to
language.
He was an English linguist, the first professor of general
linguistics in Great Britain. He is famous for his ideas on
phonology and the study of meaning.
Biography:
3.
In the 1950s, the University of London was one of the first
institutions to explore linguistics as a truly
multidimensional field.
Firth also belongs to the London School of Linguistics,
where he with his other linguists discussed different
aspects of human language.
He played a important role in the foundation of
linguistics as an autonomous discipline.
He was the first linguist to provide brand new content at
the time, but it is now completely acceptable: this
language is not an automatic process, but as complicated
as human life itself.
London School of Linguistics:
4.
Firth was the first linguist who proposed something quite
new at the time, yet quite acceptable now: that language
is not an automatic process, but one which is as complex
as human life, itself.
He argued, that the humanity of langauge lies in its
malleability. Language is unique each speaker; you will
never find two individuals using language in the exact,
same way.
This entails that the production of language is a result of
psychological, academic, social, and personal skills that
are acquired as one goes through life.
Firth’s Ideas about Language:
5.
Firth’s two most famous works are Speech (1930) and
Tongues of Men, written in 1937. Targeting a large
audience in order to maintain their language capacity.
Firth used simple language in describing what later
became recognized as Firthian linguistics.
Firth wanted to market linguistics as an independent
science, and thus he concluded both works with a require
establishment of linguistic institutes.
In Speech, Firth wrote that Britain needed to speculate
more within the study of West Germanic language,
moreover as other languages of British Empire.
Major Works:
6.
In the field of linguistics, Firth introduced the
concepts of corpus linguistics where he saw
langauge as a meduim unlimited structures.
Further, he also mentined some basic concepts of his
approach to linguistics. Firthian linguistics has the
following key concepts:
1. Context to situation
2. Prosodic Analysis
3. Phonestheme
Firthian Approaches:
7.
Two things are constant in Firth's theoretical benchmarks:
1. First, that language has a prosody.
2. Second, that language is entirely contextual.
By prosody, Firth means that the intonation, rate of speed,
and use of verbiage is completely inherent to each
individual. Hence, everyone's language has its own
"personality“
By contextual Firth means that there is a tendency for
"collocation"; to place words in a particular order in order
to send out a specific message.
This happens naturally in all humans and this is what,
ultimately, creates open communication.
Continue..
8.
Firth is famous for using his concept of
"contextuality" to draw attention to the contextual
nature of meanings.
The "context" theory became the center of his
linguistic method. For Firth, language should not be
learned as a psychological system, but in the spirit of
positivism and behaviorism.
He believes that language is a collection of events
spoken by the speaker, an act of learning through
something.
Context of Situation:
9.
He believes that anything that anyone says should be
understood under the circumstances at the time.
Therefore, in addition to language factors, factors
such as the identity and personal experience of the
speaker and the social nature of the situation must
also be considered.
When we use ready-made and socially prescribed
sentences, Firth describes the "typical" context of a
situation, such as "How are you?"
Continue..
10.
Firth also made important contributions to the study
of prosody, prosody, intonation, and language-
related attributes.
Firth rejected the pure phoneme analysis practiced
by leading phonologists at the time (such as Nikolai
S. Trubetskoy and Leonard Bloomfield).
Firth believes that there is a clear distinction between
phonetics and phonology.
Prosodic Analysis:
11.
It also assumes that the phonetic unit and prosody
have no obvious phonetic content, and must be
accompanied by "exponential" sentences to explain
how a certain part of the phonetic structure is related
to the phonetic.
Based on these assumptions, Firtians can combine
abstract phonology with detailed phonetic
descriptions.
In Firth's work, he emphasized the principle of
phonemes and foreshadowed his later work in
automatic segmentation phonetics.
Continue..
12.
The word "Phonestema" (or "Phonestema" in British
English) was coined in 1930 by Firth (derived from
the Greek phone = "sound" and aisthanomai =
"perceive"), referring to the form and Significant
system combination.
For phonemes, the internal structure of words is not
combined; words with phoneme stems contain other
materials that are not morphemes themselves.
Phonestheme:
13.
For example, the English phoneme "gl-" can be found
in words related to light or sight, such as glare,
shine, glare, shine, but the rest of each word (-ow, -
itter, -are, -isten,- eam) is not a morpheme and does
not contribute much to words.
Other examples of phonemes are "sn-" (referring to
mouth or nose, such as z, etc.), sled, etc.).
Firth also examined the phonetic features of the
language, such as intonation, accent, and
nasalization, and found that these features have
significant differences between languages.
Continue..
14.
To sum my question, we can say tha J.R Firth was a
famous linguis in this modern era; who introduced
different aspects of langauge.
He is considered as modern linguist of his time by
contributing to the field of linguistics.
According to him, language has its own way of
presenting ideaa in a communication. Every person has
different way of speaking as compared to other people.
He discussed the concepts of ‘context of situation’,
‘prosodic analysis’, and ‘phonestheme’.
Conclusion:
