The origins of language
The document discusses various hypotheses for the origins of human language. It presents beliefs that language originated as a gift from God or gods to humans. Alternatively, it proposes that language evolved naturally through human evolution developing a language acquisition device and cultural systems of meaning. The document also suggests language was consciously invented by humans and gradually refined or developed through imitation and the need to communicate and express feelings. It outlines several imitation and necessity hypotheses but notes these cannot be proven. The document instructs the reader to review notes on why divine creation and natural evolution cannot be proven and to read carefully about hypotheses regarding the diversity of language.
NAPS 2016 Simon Ager - Origins of Language
This document discusses various theories about the origins of human language. It provides definitions of language and discusses evidence from fossils, genetics, tools and cave paintings. The document also summarizes different approaches to how language emerged, including the idea that it developed gradually from primate communication or emerged suddenly in humans. Several theories are outlined, such as language originating from imitation of sounds, emerging during a proposed aquatic ape phase, or developing from gestures and vocalizations.
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.
The origins of language
This document discusses several theories about the origins of human language. It presents the hypothesis that language first developed between 100,000 and 50,000 years ago with the emergence of homo sapiens. Several proposed sources of early language are examined, including the idea that language had divine or spiritual origins, emerged from natural sounds in the environment, developed from physical gestures, was enabled by physical adaptations in the vocal tract and brain, or has innate genetic foundations. However, the document concludes that no single theory has been proven and the precise origins of language remain unclear.
Origins of language
The document discusses several theories about the origins of human language. It describes hypotheses such as the "bow-wow" theory that early words imitated animal sounds, the "pooh-pooh" theory that words derived from expressions of emotion, and necessity theories where language developed to convey warnings or enable cooperation. The document also discusses the idea that language evolved through genetic mutations, allowing innate linguistic abilities, and the debate around whether there was one original language or multiple origins of language diversity today.
The origins of language
The document discusses several theories about the origins of human language:
1) A divine source - In many religions, language was given to humans by God. However, theories about an original language cannot be proven.
2) Natural sound sources - Early words may have imitated environmental sounds or emotional cries, but this does not explain abstract concepts.
3) Social interaction - Language developed from rhythmic sounds used in coordinated group tasks, but primates live socially without true language.
4) Physical adaptation - As early humans' vocal tract and brain evolved, language capacities emerged to allow increased cooperation and social learning. However, evidence is limited due to lack of records from long ago.
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.
The origins of language curriculum development
The document discusses the historical origins and development of language curriculum design. It addresses how vocabulary and grammar were initially seen as the basic building blocks of language and were selected and graded according to various principles. Early approaches made assumptions that all learners' needs are the same, needs are defined by the language alone, and learning is determined by textbooks. The document outlines different methods used for vocabulary selection based on frequency, teachability, and learner needs. It also discusses principles for grammar syllabus design like simplicity, frequency, and learnability.

Film critics
The document summarizes the plot of the film Schindler's List. It describes how the film is set in Krakow, Germany during the Holocaust. Jewish people were discriminated against and forced to relocate by the Nazi regime. Oskar Schindler, a German businessman, worked to save over 1,100 Jewish people from concentration camps by employing them in his factory. The film depicts the hostility faced by Jewish people at the hands of Nazi soldiers and residents.
Film critics
The document summarizes the plot of several films, including Schindler's List, 3 Idiots, Les Miserables, and The Karate Kid. It discusses the settings, cultural identities, characters, and life lessons depicted in each film. Key events include Oscar Schindler saving Jewish people from the Holocaust, three engineering students overcoming prejudice in India, Jean Valjean starting a new life after serving time as a convict in France, and a boy learning kung fu after moving to China.
Cross cultural communication-translating nonverbal cues
This document summarizes key aspects of non-verbal communication across cultures. It discusses how personal space, eye contact, speaking volume, and touch have different meanings in various cultures. For example, direct eye contact with authority figures is avoided in Latino culture. The document emphasizes that non-verbal cues vary significantly between cultures and greater sensitivity to these differences can help with cross-cultural communication. It concludes that each culture has unique ways of communicating non-verbally.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation results
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
