Sociolinguistics The Essential Readings.pdf
This document provides an overview of the book "Sociolinguistics: The Essential Readings" edited by Christina Bratt Paulston and G. Richard Tucker. The book is a collection of classic and contemporary articles in sociolinguistics. It is part of a series that presents primary works in different fields of linguistics along with editorial material. Each volume in the series stands alone as a resource on its topic and complements introductory texts.
The origin of language
The document discusses several theories on the origins of language:
1. The divine source theory proposes that language originated from a single divine source as a gift to humans. However, experiments to discover the original language were unsuccessful and the theory cannot be proven.
2. The natural sound source theory (bow-wow theory) suggests that words started as imitations of natural sounds but cannot account for abstract concepts. The pooh-pooh theory proposes words emerged from emotional cries but these are produced differently from speech.
3. The social interaction theory (yo-he-ho theory) argues language developed from rhythmic grunts during coordinated work but other social species did not develop speech.
4. The
Chapter 1 the origins of language
This document discusses several hypotheses about the origins of language. It explores the possibility that language originated from divine sources in various religions, experiments isolating infants, or natural sounds in the environment. Alternative hypotheses propose that language evolved from our physical adaptations for speech, social interactions, or as a result of developing complex tool usage. While each hypothesis provides some insights, they all have refuting evidence. The true origins of language remain unclear as it is a complex trait that likely emerged from multiple evolutionary factors.
Emerging uses of technology in language teaching and learning
This document discusses two main ways that technology can be used for language learning: as a source of teaching resources and to enhance learning experiences. It provides examples of how technologies like the internet, blogs, CALL software, and wikis can be used for language instruction and learning. Some key principles outlined are that technology allows for social interaction, authentic language use, individualization, and student autonomy. The role of the teacher is to plan technology-based activities and guide students, while students are actively involved in using the language. The document emphasizes reading, writing, and potentially speaking and listening skills depending on the technology used.
Cognitive code theory in Applied Linguistics
Cognitive Code Theory is a theory of second language acquisition that merged Chomsky's Transformational Grammar with Carroll's cognitive psychology. It views language learning as a conscious process of acquiring mental control over phonological, grammatical, and lexical patterns through analyzing these patterns as a system of rules. The key principles of Cognitive Code Theory are that learning occurs through cognitive memory structures, language learning should involve meaningful practice, and learners should discover grammar rules inductively. While it emphasized understanding language structure over usage, some criticisms are that it is more of a theoretical framework than a teaching method and ignores other influences on learning like culture, biology, and past experience.
task based language teaching TBLT
The document discusses Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), an approach to language instruction centered around the use of tasks. Some key points:
- TBLT uses tasks as the core unit of planning and instruction, drawing on principles of Communicative Language Teaching. Tasks involve real communication and using language for meaningful purposes.
- A task is an activity or goal carried out using language. Examples include problem-solving, decision-making, information sharing. Tasks can be designed based on real-world or pedagogical needs.
- Proponents argue tasks provide better opportunities for language learning than traditional form-focused instruction. Tasks require negotiation of meaning and meaningful communication.
- The teacher
CLIL
The document discusses effective questioning techniques for teachers to use in the classroom. It begins by explaining that teachers traditionally use questions to check learning and understanding, but should also use more open-ended questions to encourage deeper thinking. It then provides examples of different questioning strategies like "thinking time", "no hands up", and "phone a friend" which give students more time to formulate responses and participate more fully. The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of using higher-order "big questions", "focus questions", and "fat questions" that challenge students to provide more complex, extended answers in order to develop critical thinking skills.
Teaching Reading and Writing (4 of 16)
This document provides an overview of strategies and principles for teaching reading. It discusses several key aspects of reading instruction including vocabulary development, comprehension, activating prior knowledge, and content-based instruction. Some specific strategies described are structural analysis, context clues, intensive/extensive reading, pleasure reading, prereading plans, previewing, anticipation guides, Question-Answer Relationships (QARs), Reciprocal Questioning (ReQuest), and K-W-L charts. The document also outlines the general objectives of a second language reading program and principles for designing effective reading lessons.

This document provides a summary of a lecture on linguocultural and pragmatic characteristics of phraseological units. It discusses key topics like the language picture of the world, nationally specific phraseology, proverbs and sayings, difficulties in translation, and the role of phraseology in developing communication competences. Specific examples of idioms, proverbs, and linguocultural phenomena from different languages are analyzed in detail. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of understanding the cultural aspects of language to facilitate intercultural communication.
Origin of language
The document discusses the origin and theories around the development of human language. It proposes that language likely originated in East Africa around 100,000 years ago. There are several theories for how language evolved, including the divine source theory which suggests it was a gift from God, and the evolutionary theory that proposes physiological changes led to language development. Additional theories explore the idea that language originated from animal sounds, human emotional reactions, sounds of objects, or sounds produced during physical effort. The document also discusses the importance of language for learning about other cultures and expressing ourselves.
language portfolio
This document discusses language portfolios and their benefits. It provides information on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, which establishes common levels for linguistic fluency. A portfolio is defined as a collection of a student's work that demonstrates their skills and achievements across subjects. Portfolios have benefits for both teachers and students by encouraging self-directed learning and motivating students. The document outlines several phases to developing an effective portfolio, including selection of materials, organization, and reflection. Portfolios can also be electronic and provide experience with technology skills while demonstrating a student's progress.
The sociology of language teaching and learning
This document discusses the sociological factors that influence language teaching and learning. It explains that a uniform language environment can create resistance to learning a second language, while diversity in language backgrounds complicates teaching. Socio-cultural factors like social class, ethnicity, religion, and economic situation are closely tied to language situations. Attitudes towards different languages are influenced by their associated economic, political or cultural values. Learners' motivation is also shaped by the societal attitudes in their environment. The relationship between socioeconomic factors and language learning is complex and not always direct. Economic and technological development can impact the need and ability to learn a language. Language teaching and availability of materials also differs between developed and developing nations based on their resources.
Theories in Language Description
This document discusses various theories about the origin of human language. It outlines 9 main theories: 1) Divine source, 2) Natural sound source like bow-bow and pooh-pooh theories, 3) Social interaction source like yo-heave-ho and la-la theories, 4) Oral-gesture source, 5) Physiological adaptation source related to teeth, lips, mouth, larynx and brain, 6) Glossogenetics related to evolution, 7) Interactional and transactional functions, 8) Genetic source, and 9) Tool making source. It also discusses experiments to test the divine source theory and criticisms of each theory. Finally, it analyzes language variation topics like pidgin,
Language and meaning (ch 3) power point
This document discusses key concepts about language and meaning. It defines language as a system of symbols and rules used for communication. It notes that language has semantics, syntax, and pragmatics. Semantics is the study of meaning, syntax is the arrangement of words, and pragmatics is language in social contexts. Additional concepts covered include denotative and connotative meanings of words, operational definitions, descriptive language, and avoiding inferences versus observations.
Onomatopoeia
This document discusses different types of figurative language including personification, simile, metaphor, and imagery. It specifically focuses on aural imagery techniques like alliteration, assonance, and onomatopoeia. An example of an onomatopoeic word is provided ("buzzed"). The document also includes the poem "Anthem for Doomed Youth" by Wilfred Owen which utilizes various figurative language techniques.
Origin of language
This document discusses theories about the origin of language. It outlines 7 main theories: 1) Divine sources, where language is seen as a gift from God; 2) Mythological sources found in ancient cultures; 3) Natural sound imitation theories where language evolved from imitating sounds; 4) Social interaction necessity theories where language developed to communicate needs; 5) Physical adaptation of human anatomy that allowed speech; 6) Tool making abilities linking language and manual skills; 7) Innateness hypothesis that language ability is genetically determined. The document examines evidence for each theory but finds it difficult to determine the single origin of language.
Short CLIL presentation-Cindy DePoy
This document provides an overview of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). It defines CLIL as a dual-focused educational approach where an additional language is used for teaching content and language simultaneously. It discusses key CLIL concepts like integration of content and language, using language to learn new content and develop thinking skills. It also covers frameworks like the 4Cs, Bloom's Taxonomy, Cummins' Matrix. It outlines new roles for teachers and students in CLIL with a focus on facilitating thinking rather than imparting knowledge. Elements of planning, interaction, scaffolding, assessment and cooperation among teachers are also summarized.
Children Learning A Foreign Language
Children Learning A Foreign Language discusses the benefits of children learning a foreign language at a young age. It explores various perspectives on language development from theorists like Piaget, Vygotsky, and Bruner. Key advantages of early foreign language learning include enhanced cognitive performance, problem-solving skills, and flexibility. Young children can acquire fluency similarly to their first language through immersion and interaction. The document also differentiates between language acquisition versus learning and provides principles for effective foreign language instruction for children.
Introduction to General Linguistics lecture 1
The document provides an introduction to linguistics, discussing key concepts such as the difference between first (L1) and second (L2) language acquisition. It explores when a foreign language becomes an L1 or an L2, and whether L2 is acquired or learnt. The document also examines whether animals have language and provides definitions of language. Saussure's ideas about language as a system of signs made up of a signifier and signified are summarized. Language is described as having an arbitrary, immutable, and mutable nature.
The role of borrowings in the development of the English vocabulary
This document discusses the role of borrowings in the development of the English vocabulary. It outlines the major languages that have influenced English, including Latin, French, Scandinavian, and others. Latin borrowings entered English through the church and centers of learning after the Christianization of England. French borrowings entered through the Norman conquest and occupied spheres like the court, law, and food names. Scandinavian borrowings came from Viking invasions and influence daily words like sky and dream. Overall, borrowings have enriched the English language and added specificity and subtlety to its vocabulary.
Origin of language
The document discusses several theories about the origins of human language. It begins by outlining two divine source theories - that language originated from God or divine beings. It then examines physical adaptation theories which argue that the evolution of certain human physical traits, like bipedalism and advanced vocal tracts, enabled the development of speech. The document also explores natural sound theories, which propose that early words imitated environmental sounds or emotional cries. It questions whether these could have generated full languages.
Phonological universal
This document discusses phonological universals that are found across many of the world's languages. It provides several examples of universals relating to vowels and consonants. Regarding vowels, it notes that all languages have some form of /i/, /a/, and /u/ vowels. It also describes common vowel systems containing 5 vowels that are maximally spaced. For consonants, it observes that voiceless stops like /p/, /t/, and /k/ are nearly universal, and that no language has voiced stops without also having voiceless stops. The document provides several examples to illustrate these tendencies without absolute rules.
Behaviorism And Mentalism
1. Skinner argues that mental phenomena should not be used to explain behavior because they cannot be directly observed and are therefore "inferential".
2. However, many scientific theories rely on theoretical constructs that are inferred but not directly observable, and these theories can still be tested. Explanations involving inferred mental states may be the most effective way to explain and predict human behavior.
3. Skinner also objects that mental explanations are not genuinely explanatory, are typically redundant, and invoke a "homunculus" or little person inside controlling behavior. While these are valid concerns, mental explanations need not have these flaws and may provide a useful understanding of human behavior.

Language teachers must analyze these types of interference to teach according the students´ problems and needs.
Technology for Language Teaching
1. The document discusses technology in language teaching and focuses on multimedia/ICT resources for language learning.
2. It outlines three phases of how teachers can use technology: as a tool to teach, for students to search for information, and for students to create and publish content.
3. A variety of free online tools and resources are presented that teachers can use, including images, audio, video, games, and worksheets to incorporate technology into their lessons.
Typology Powerpoint
This document presents a typology of adult learning that divides it into two main classifications: non-intentional and intentional learning. Non-intentional learning is further divided into unstructured learning, which includes incidental and informal learning. Incidental learning occurs randomly anywhere, while informal learning involves little structure. Intentional learning is structured and includes non-formal learning like workshops and seminars, as well as formal learning through programs leading to certificates or degrees.
Keypal projects
Keypal projects involve students writing emails to pen pals in other countries to practice language skills and learn about other cultures. Some benefits are that it provides authentic communication, increases intercultural awareness, and allows students to learn proper email writing in English from a native speaker. Teachers should integrate email projects into the curriculum, not as add-ons, and act as facilitators, advisors, and motivators to make it a learner-centered experience. Several websites are provided to help students find pen pals.
Technology for Teaching and Learning.pdf

This document discusses the challenges and opportunities of using languages as a medium for education. It provides key messages about Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), including that CLIL allows for academic progression across languages, focuses on meaning-making, and views languages as learning tools. Research from the ITALIC project found that learners perceive CLIL positively and want to continue with it. Both learners and teachers agree CLIL lessons should be challenging but not too difficult, interactive, and allow learners to communicate, engage with new concepts, and construct their own understanding. The document argues CLIL practitioners should focus on task sequencing, concept complexity, and developing learner literacies over time.

Evaluating Your Textbook
This document discusses evaluating textbooks for language courses. It begins by noting that choosing a textbook is difficult as the suitability is only clear after using it. The teacher is responsible for evaluating both students and the teaching/learning process, including materials. A good textbook should provide structure, varied materials, preparation time savings, teaching ideas, independent work, homework basis, and allow comparison to other schools. It should also give students purpose, progression, security, autonomy and referencing. No single textbook will meet all needs, but the best fit for teachers and students should determine materials rather than vice versa. The document provides a checklist for textbook evaluation covering layout, activities, language, content, guidance, and practical considerations. It emphasizes adapting materials to

The document discusses materials design for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) teaching. It notes that ESP teachers spend significant time developing in-house materials to fit learners' specific needs and subjects. A good materials design model includes 4 elements: input material, language and content focus, language practice tasks, and an end communicative task. Materials should stimulate learning, guide the teaching process, and encourage language use through interesting activities. When designing materials, teachers should first select input text, consider a possible end task, check that task fits the syllabus, identify useful language from the text, develop exercises, and test and refine the materials through classroom use.

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.

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.
