PREDOMINANT DEVICES USED BY NGUGI WA THIONG’O IN HIS NOVEL WIZARD OF THE CROW...ResearchWap
Language is a distinctive quality unique to man. It is what enables man to express him/herself and communicate with his/her fellow man, and it is acquired naturally. According to Fromkin et al “…language is the source of human life and power” (3). They also state that “we use language to convey information to others…, ask questions…, give command…, and express wishes” (173). There are two specific media of using language: oral – which is by words of mouth; and written – which is a graphic representation of words on paper.
It is in the use of language that style comes in. Style shows the difference between one piece of writing and the other. According to Adejare, “style is an ambiguous term…” (1). He further states that the term style means different things to different professions. Some examples are: to a psychologist, a style is a form of behaviour, to the critic, style is individuality and to the linguist, it is the formal structures in function (1).
Stylistics is the study of oral and written texts. It is the description of the linguistic characteristics (which means features of linguistics) of all situationally restricted uses of language. Linguistics is the scientific study of language or of a particular language. Linguistics is scientific because it applies the method of objective observation, collection, classification and application of facts to the study of language.
Stylistics focuses on texts and gives much attention to the devices, parts of speech and figures of speech. It goes further to look into the effects of the use of the devices on the reader.
The language learning techniques mean the author’s method of applying the linguistic methods to convey meaning. However, various language techniques can be related to sentence patterns, intonation, word selection, and so on. You can use the language techniques and elements found throughout the story

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

4. Introduction
• Metaphors are widely used in the English language. Its
popularity has never ceased since its debut in the
ancient days of Aristotle, and even beyond.
• Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary (OALD):
“Metaphors” is defined as “A word or phrase used to
describe somebody/something else, in a way that is
quite different from its normal use, in order to show
that the two things have the same qualities and to
make the description more powerful.
5. Categories of metaphors
• Linguistically, metaphors can be categorized into three
main areas, which are:-
• Metaphors as style in speech and writing
a metaphor qualifies as an analogical style of writing. This
enables an expression, which can be either words or
phrases, to suggest the similarities of an entity to another.
• Metaphors as foundational to our conceptual system
metaphors serve to facilitate the understanding of an
abstract conceptual domain to a more familiar one.
6. Types of Metaphors
1. Extended Metaphor (Telescoping Metaphor)
• used to extend or amplify the degree of a pre-existing metaphor
2. Metonym
• a new, original metaphor which is used to replace a rather clichéd one.
3. Mixed Metaphors
• Metaphors which do not have anything to do with one another and are
put together
4. Absolute Metaphor
• a metaphor, as an image, overshadows its original situation.
7. 5. Implied Metaphor
• indirectly mean something, and this is usually, easily guessed.
6. Dead Metaphor
• overused and has lacked its lustre in its language, it is coined
“dead”.
7. Dormant Metaphor
• formed when a sentence is incomplete.
8. Synecdoche Metaphor
• rather similar to implied metaphors. Unlike the implied metaphor
which uses certain terms to indirectly represent something, a
synecdoche metaphor is one which uses only a part of an object
used to represent the whole.
8. 9. Root Metaphor
• enable other metaphors to take birth from them.
• can be used as a form of generalization.
10. Active Metaphor
• often used in poetries and eloquent speeches to stimulate readers
or listeners. It is new and not established.
11. Submerged Metaphor
• first part of the metaphor is implied
12. Dying Metaphor
• are too familiar to the extent that they are no longer used, but are
used occasionally
9. 13. Conceptual Metaphor
• has many metaphoric meanings in them. The underlying
meaning brings us a universal concept.
14. Pataphor
• are exaggerated to the extent where it is often illogical.
15. Simple Metaphor (Tight Metaphor)
• have only one meaning and one linkage.
16. Implicit Metaphor
• are used to show implications of one to another.
10. 17. Compound Metaphor (Loose Metaphor)
• In certain situations or cases, an author might need the help of more than
one similar metaphor to bring volume to the existing meaning.
Therefore, a compound metaphor is made up of more than one similarity.
18. Complex Metaphor
• is a multi-layered metaphor.
19. Primary Metaphor
• associate concepts that are equally basic in the sense that they are both
directly experienced and perceived.
20. Conventional Metaphor
• commonly used in everyday language
• We hardly noticed them as we do not know they are metaphors.
11. Summary
• In Literature, or any other writings for that
matter, do rely on the use of figurative writing.
• Figurative writing encompasses a wide area
of subjects such as similes and metaphors.
• Through observation, it is found that there are
similarities between similes and metaphors.
• However, their differences exist too.
12. • For similes, words or links such as “as” and “like” are used.
For metaphors, these two links are not used at all.
Metaphors use “is”, “are”, or “am”.
• This makes metaphors more intimate and more
expressive.
