The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

10. Main Terms, Categories and Notions
STYLE
•The correspondence between thought and language expression
•An individual manner of making use of language
•The set of rules how to write a composition
•The aesthetic function of language
•Expressive means in language
•Synonymous ways of rendering one and the same idea
•Emotional coloring in language
•A system of special devices called stylistic devices
•The splitting of the literary language into separate systems called st
yles
•The individual manner of an author in making use of language
11. STYLE
•“style is the man himself “(Buffon 18thc.)
•“Style is depth” Darbyshire
•“style is deviation” Enkvist
•“style is the result of an author’s success in compelling language to
conform to his mode of experience (Middleton Murry)
•“Style is a contextually restricted linguistic variation” (Enkvist)
•Style is a selection of non-distinctive features of language(Bloomfiel
d)
•Style is simply synonymous with form or expression(Benedetto Croc
e)
•“structures, sequences and patterns which extend beyond the boun
daries of individual sentences - style (Archibald Hill )
12. Individual style and idiolect
Individual style implies the peculiarities of a writer’s individual manne
r of using language means to achieve the effect he desires: compon
ents of individual style -
•composition of phrasal units
•rhythm and melody of utterances
•system of imagery
•preference for definite stylistic devices and their correlation with ne
utral language media
•interdependence of the language means employed by the author an
d those characteristic to his personages.
The speech of any individual, which is characterized by particular ele
ments, is called an idiolect that reveals his breeding and education
13. NORM, expressiveness and emotiveness
Norm – is an invariant, which should embrace all variable phonemic, m
orphological, lexical, and syntactic patterns with their typical prope
rties circulating in the language at a definite period of time.
language-as-a-system and language-in-action, language and speech (di
scourse), lange and parole.
Expressiveness – in etymological sense is a kind of intensification of th
e utterance (or a part of it).
Emotiveness - reveals emotions of the writer or a speaker by not direct
ly manifesting their emotions but by echoing real feelings, designed
to awaken co-experience on the part of the reader
16. Expressive means
Expressive means are those phonetic, morphological, word-building, l
exical, phraseological, syntactical forms, which exist in language-as
-a-system for the purpose of logical or emotional intensification of
the utterance.
Phonetic EM - pitch, melody, stress, pausation, drawling out, whisperi
ng and sing-song manner
Morphological EM - number, Historical Present, “shall” in the 2 or 3 p
erson, demonstrative pronouns, verbals
Lexical EM - different affixes: e.g. diminutive suffixes – dearie, sonny,
auntie, streamlet. At the lexical level expressiveness can also be re
ndered by the words possessing inner expressive charge - interjecti
ons, epithets, slang and vulgar, poetic or archaic words, set phrase
s, idioms, catchwords, proverbs and sayings
17. If you can keep your head when all about
you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men do
ubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting t
oo:
If you can wait and not be tired by waitin
g,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too
wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams
your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts
your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disast
er
And treat those two impostors just the sa
me:
If you can bear to hear the truth you've s
poken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fool
s,
If you can make one heap of all your win
nings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginni
ngs,
And never breathe a word about your los
s:
If you can force your heart and nerve and
sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gon
e,
And so hold on when there is nothing in
you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hol
d on!“
If you can talk with crowds and keep you
r virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the commo
n touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hur
t you,
If all men count with you, but none too
much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance ru
18. Stylistic devices
Stylistic device is a conscious and intentional intensification of some
typical structural and/or semantic property of a language unit (ne
utral or expressive) promoted to a generalized status thus becomi
ng a generative model.
SDs display an application of 2 meanings: the ordinary one (already
established in language-as-a-system) and a special – imposed on t
he unit by the author (or content), a meaning, which appears in la
nguage-in-action
Stylistic devices (tropes, figures of speech) unlike expressive means are not langu
age phenomena. They are formed in speech and most of them do not exist out
of context. According to principles of their formation, stylistic devices are grou
ped into phonetic, lexico-semantic and syntactic types. Stylistic devices are the
result of revaluation of neutral words, word-combinations and syntactic struct
ures. Stylistic devices are studied by stylistic semasiology.
19. Types of context
Linguistic context is the encirclement of a language unit by other langu
age units in speech. Such encirclement makes the meaning of the u
nit clear and unambiguous. It is especially important in case with po
lysemantic words. Microcontext is the context of a single utterance
(sentence). Macrocontext is the context of a paragraph in a text. M
egacontext is the context of a book chapter, a story or the whole bo
ok.
An extralingual (situational) context is formed by extralingual conditio
ns in which communication takes place : physical context and abstr
act context. Temporal or chronological context , psychological conte
xt
21. Speech and writing (oral and written language varieties)
Speech is normally a continuous
stream of sound. Conversations a
re often accompanied by other si
gn systems which aid understandi
ng. These might be physical gestu
res, facial expressions, even bodil
y posture. Meaning in speech is c
ommonly conveyed by tone and o
ther non-verbal means such as iro
ny. Speech quite commonly inclu
des false starts, repetition, hesita
tion
Writing is the use of visual symbo
ls which act as a code for com
munication between individual
s or groups. The code of writte
n language consists of letter-fo
rms (the alphabet) used to for
m a visual image of spoken wo
rds. Words are formed in accor
dance with the conventions of
spelling, then combined accord
ing to the rules of syntax to for
m meaningful statements.
22. Types of Meaning
primary (denotative) meaning and additional (connotative) meaning/
objective and emotive planes
Connotative meaning may be of 4 types:
1.functional (reflecting the sphere of usage of the word) – formal/infor
mal – dear Sir/ Hey, dude
2.evaluative (positive, negative or neutral) – ambitious/pushy/goal-ori
ented
3.emotive (rendering the attitude of the speaker) – It’s fabulous! Disgu
sting! Oh boy! Tut tut!
4.expressive (containing an image of pragmatic value) – to express wh
at is really meant
stylistic meaning as distinguished from lexical one, which is representi
ng primary information, is based on the secondary (additional) infor
mation.
23. Types of Meaning
Lexical meaning is given explicitly while stylistic meaning is always imp
lied. Lexical meaning is relatively stable, and stylistic meaning is liab
le to change
Grammatical meaning reflects the relations between words or some f
orms of words or constructions, it can also be called structural mea
ning. All the words have grammatical meaning simply because they
belong to some language and have their place in it
Logical, emotive and nominal meaning
Logical meaning (synonymously called referential or direct) is the preci
se naming of a feature, an idea, a phenomenon or an object. There
can be primary and secondary logical meanings. All the meanings fix
ed by the dictionaries comprise what is called the semantic structur
e of a word
24. Types of Meaning
Emotive meaning also materializes the concept of a word but it has ref
erence to the feelings and emotions of a speaker towards the thing.
It names the object by evaluating it.
Usually we deal with contextual emotive meaning. But some classes of
words – interjections, exclamations, and swearwords – are direct ca
rriers of emotive meaning. Interjections have even lost completely t
heir logical meaning: e.g. alas, oh, ah, pooh, darn, gosh.
Nominal meaning steps in when we deal with the words serving the p
urpose of singling out one definite and singular object of a whole cl
ass of similar objects. These words are classified by grammarians as
proper nouns as different from common nouns
25. Functional styles of language
The object of linguostylistics as the study of the nature, functions and s
tructure of SDs and EMs and the study of the functional styles of lan
guage.
Functional style (FS) may be defined as a system of interrelated langu
age means which serves a definite aim of communication
FSs are sometimes called registers or discourses:
•the language of belles-lettres
•the language of publicistic literature
•the language of press/media
•the language of scientific prose
•the language of official documents
I.V. Arnold mentions four styles: poetic style, scientific style, newspap
er style, colloquial style.
26. Linguistic stylistics and literary stylistics
The old man is dead. Старик умер.
The gentleman well advanced in years attained the termination of his
terrestrial existence. Старец скончался
The ole bean kicked the bucket. Старый хрыч подох
Linguistic stylistics and literary stylistics are two separate and at the sa
me time interconnected branches of stylistics
Linguistic stylistics studies functional styles of a language and the elem
ents of language from the point of view of their ability to express an
d cause emotions
Literary stylistics studies expressive means and stylistic devices charac
teristic for a definite work of art, man of letter, literary movement,
trend or epoch, and factors influencing the expressiveness of langua
ge.

Connection of stylistics with other branches of linguistics
Stylistics and phonetics: Phonetics studies sounds, articulation, rhyth
mics and intonation. Stylistics concentrates on expressive sound combi
nations, intonational and rhythmic patterns. Stylistics and lexicology:
Lexicology describes words, their origin, development, semantic and str
uctural features. Stylistics also deals with words, but only those which ar
e expressive in language or in speech. Stylistics and grammar: Gramm
ar describes regularities of building words, word-combinations, sentenc
es and texts. Stylistics restricts itself to those grammar regularities, whic
h make language units expressive.
