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.

4. 1-Accent, dialect and idiolect
● In everyday usage the terms « accent » and « dialect » are often
confused.
• Is usually associated with a particular geographical area of
language such as dialects of English: Cockney, Geordie(the
speech of Newcastle and Tyneside and « Scouse » (the
speech of Liverpool)
• Is a far greater difference (sound system, grammar, and
vocabulary) than mere pronunciation.
Dialect
• Is restricted to varieties of pronunciation
• e.g: the phrase « with an accent » is similarly employed in
Great Britain and especially in England , to mean « with an
accent other than RP »
Accent
6. 1-Accent, dialect and idiolect
● The terms « British English » and « American English » are often loosely employed
even by linguists, as they if referred to two relatively uniform dialects of the
same language.
● There are of course many lexical differences between the speech of the average
well-educated American and that of the average of well-educated Englishman,
Welshman , Scot or Irishman: ‘elevator’ vs. ‘lift’ ,’ gas’ vs. ‘petrol’.But most the
vocabulary of Standard American English and standard British English is
identical.
● What makes the notion of Accent so important linguistically, even though it
overlaps with that of dialect, is that members of language-community react to
the differences of pronunciation in the same way as indicators of the speaker’s
regional or social provenance.
7. 1-Accent, dialect and idiolect
The point is that certain phonetic differences between accents may be
stigmatized by society, just as certain lexical and grammatical differences
between dialects are.
In many countries, but to a particularly high degree in England, there is more
regional variation in the speech of those lower on the social scale than there is in
the speech of those higher up .
William Labov confirmed that an individual’s accent and dialect varies
systematically with the formality and informality of the situation in which he
found himself. e.g: The use of post-vocalic /r/ (farm, father…) by the upper
middle class in New York
Both in America and Britain, women are more likely than man to adopt the accent
or dialect that is associated, in general with higher social status. (Trudgill,1978)

9. 1-Accent, dialect and idiolect
• We may associate a particular accent or
dialect with a particular personality (e.g.
intelligence, friendliness…) and, in most of our
more superficial day–to–day dealing with
people, judge them regarding the stereotype.
• In some cases at least, members of lower
social groups seem to accept the validity of the
stereotypes with reference to which members
of socially more dominant groups evaluate
them.

12. Standards and Vernaculars
From the point view of the author, « The term Vernacular is
employed in the sense that is commonly bears in everyday usage
to refer not only to non-standars dialects of the same language, but
also to genetically unrelated dialects that stand in the same
functional relationship to the standard in certain countries as
genetically related non-standard dialects do in others. » p276
Some sociolinguistics have used the term « Vernacular » in a
narrower and more technical sense.
13. Standards and Vernaculars
The standardization of a particular Dialect in relation to one or more
vernaculars is not necessarily the result of deliberate policy.
For example, Standard English emerged as such over centuries by
virtue of the political and cultural importance of London; and
Standard French emerged, in a similar manner, as a consequence
of the dominance of Paris. In each case, the standard is based upon
what was in earlier times the speech of the upper classes at court
or living in the capital.
French and English, for political reasons, are more highly
standardized, as written languages, than some of the other major
languages of Europe.
14. Standards and Vernaculars
The disadvantage of attempting to implement the process of
standardization by official decision, if this involves the selection of
one several distinct vernacular already in use, is that it puts the
native speakers of the chosen vernacular in a more favorable
position, politically and socially than the native speakers of other
vernaculars.
15. Standards and Vernaculars
The terms ‘standard language’, ‘national language ’
and ‘official language’ are not of course
synonymous.
For example, Tanzania has adopted Swahili as its official national
language.But,so far at least, this does not and cannot serve as a symbol
of nationhood and cultural identity for most the country’s citizens, who
belong to a very large number of distinct ethnic and linguistic groups.
16. Standards and vernaculars
Pidgins and creoles
Pidgin:
are very basic linguistic systems
which sometimes emerge in
situations in which speakers of
different languages find
themselves in frequent contact
and need to communicate
Creoles:
are complete languages that
have evolved from more basic
pidgin languages
Originate as highly restricted vernaculars of a particular kind, but
as creoles can in certain circumstances achieve the status of
standards.
17. Standards and vernaculars
Pidgins and creoles
Pidgin:
Tok Pisin « pidgin talk » are now
official, standard languages in
New Guinea and Sierra Leon ,
respectively
Creoles:
Notable examples are the
English-based creole of Jamaica
and the French-based creole of
Haiti

children as their native

20. Bilingualism, code-switiching and diglossia
Examples include officially bilingual countries like
Canada and Belgium, as well as communities where
Bilingualism is prevalent in daily life.
Bilingualism refers to the ability of individuals or
communities to use two or more languages proficiently.
Definition of Bilingualism
21. Bilingualism, code-switiching and diglossia
Perfect
Bilingualism is rare
and involves equal
proficiency in both
languages.
Most bilingual
individuals are
compound or
coordinate
bilinguals,
possessing
varying levels of
proficiency in each
language.
Types of Bilingualism
22. Bilingualism, code-switiching and diglossia
Bilingualism Communities
Bilingual communities demonstrate functional differentiation of languages
across various domains, such as home and public settings.
Sociolinguistic research focuses on identifying these domains and
understanding language use within them.
Simultaneous bilingualism: occurs when a child learns two languages from
birth or early infancy. Both languages are typically acquired in parallel, and
the child becomes equally proficient in both.
Sequential bilingualism: occurs when a person learns a second language
after already having acquired the first language
23. Bilingualism, code-switiching and diglossia
Code Switching
✓ Situational changes may lead to
code-switching, where speakers
switch between languages within
a conversation.
✓ Examples include business
discussions in Tanzania
switching from English to Swahili.
24. Bilingualism, code-switiching and diglossia
Diglossia
Diglossia refers to a sociolinguistic situation where two distinct
varieties of a language are used within a community or society, each
with its own functions and contexts. One known as the high or "H"
variety, used in formal situations such as education, literature, or
official communication, while the other variety, known as the low or
"L" variety, it is used in everyday, informal communication. Unlike
vernacular, diglossia involves a formal variety (H) alongside an
informal variety (L) with marked differences in prestige and usage
contexts.
25. Bilingualism, code-switiching and diglossia
Diglossia
Challenges in Defining Languages and Dialects:
• The cultural and political considerations regarding dialects and
languages is related to identity, power dynamics, and social
inclusion. Dialects and languages often carry deep cultural
significance and serve as identity markers, but they can also face
political marginalization and discrimination.
26. Bilingualism, code-switiching and diglossia
Diglossia
Challenges in Defining Languages and Dialects:
• Some languages have intermediate vernaculars, blurring the
boundaries between standard and non-standard varieties.
• Discussions about dialects and languages must address their cultural
and political implications to promote linguistic diversity and justice.
27. Bilingualism, code-switiching and diglossia
Diglossia
Challenges in Defining Languages and Dialects:
• Both high and low varieties of language contribute to the richness and
diversity of language by offering different linguistic expressions for different
social situations. While high varieties maintain formal grammar and
vocabulary for professional and academic settings, low varieties provide
flexibility and adaptability for casual and interpersonal communication.
28. Bilingualism, code-switiching and diglossia
Diglossia
Language deficit:
• Language deficit theories unfairly label speakers of non-standard dialects
as linguistically deficient or inferior, leading to educational and social
discrimination.
• Perception of lacking linguistic ability in non-standard speakers, often
associated with speakers of minority or non-prestige dialects.
30. Practical applications
The practical application of sociolinguistics highlights the critical need
to challenge language deficit theories and the biases they support in
education and society. By recognizing the linguistic richness and
cultural diversity within communities, educators can create inclusive
learning environments that empower students from all linguistic
backgrounds. This shift requires embracing linguistic diversity as an
asset rather than a deficit, fostering educational equity, and
promoting social justice.
31. Practical applications
It was mentioned in the text, and I quote « it is now more widely
recognized than it used to be, in many countries, that the mother
tongue of ethnic minorities should be supported, rather than
discouraged as a barrier to their integration in the wider community. »
p289
33. 5-Stylistic variation and stylistics
Stylistic variation is introduced as a concept contrasting with accent, dialect differences,
and differences in medium.
Emphasis on the choice of alternative means to express the same idea within a language
system.
Two words or phrases may be descriptively equivalent, and yet differ in terms of social
and expressive meaning. ( ‘father’ vs ‘Daddy’)
Completely free variation, which subsumes complete synonymy, is relatively rare -
especially in literature, where the determinants of contextual acceptability are more
numerous and more diverse than they are in the everyday, unreflecting use of language.
34. 5-Stylistic variation and stylistics
Social Context:
• the term 'context' is social and falls within the scope
of the sociolinguistically definable notion of the
domain of discourse. Many authors would include
within the social context of an utterance, not only
the more obvious sociolinguistic variables (status,
age, gender of the participants: formality or
informality of the situation; etc.), but also the
author's feelings and communicative intentions.
35. 5-Stylistic variation and stylistics
Register
• In so far as stylistic variation is determined, or conditioned, by the
social context, it falls within the scope of the sociolinguistic concept
of register.
• Stylistic variation in general, and register variation in particular, is
not simply a matter of vocabulary. It also affects grammar and, as
far as the spoken language is concerned, pronunciation. For ex-
ample, elliptical utterances (Been shopping? Just wanted to say
«Thanks» for last night, etc.) and tag-questions (You haven't seen
my pen, have you?, etc.) are more frequent in informal English
than they are in formal English.
36. 5-Stylistic variation and stylistics
It is important to
realize that the more
informal registers of
English and of other
languages are rule-
governed in
essentially the same
way as the more
formal registers are.
It is also
important not to
confuse the more
informal registers
of a language
with non-
standard dialects
of that language.
37. 5-Stylistic variation and stylistics
Everything that was said earlier about stylistic variation in
connection with distinguishable kinds of non-absolute synonymy
applies also to stylistically significant differences of grammar and
pronunciation. For example, questions can be asked in English by
uttering an interrogative sentence or, alternatively, by uttering a
declarative sentence with a distinctive rising-intonation pattern:
(1) Is it raining?
(2) It's raining?
38. 5-Stylistic variation and stylistics
(1) and (2) differ in their grammatical structure; and as utterances, if
not as sentences, they are partly, but not completely, equivalent.
Over and above its question-asking function, (2) has the additional
expressive function of indicating or revealing the speaker's surprise,
distress, indignation, etc. Of course, (1) can also have an additional
expressive function, conveyed by the superimposition upon it of a
particular prosodic contour. But it is of itself stylistically more
neutral than (2).
39. 5-Stylistic variation and stylistics
stylistics as a more or less well-established branch of macrolinguistics
One definition, to which many would subscribe, might run as follows:
stylistics is the study of stylistic variation in languages and of the
way in which this is exploited by their users.
More commonly, however, the term 'stylistics' is restricted, with or
without further qualification, to literary stylistics: the study of the
language of literary texts.
