The London School of Linguistics studies language descriptively, distinguishing structural and systemic concepts. It focuses on semantics and contributed the situational theory of meaning and prosodic analysis in phonology. The school considers the distinctive function the primary phoneme function and rejects concepts like the speech collective. Its main representatives were Henry Sweet, Daniel Jones, and J.R. Firth. Firth established the London School tradition and questioned dividing speech into segments, focusing on larger phonetic elements. He developed a contextual theory of meaning influenced by Malinowski and emphasized use in context. Firth's ideas were developed by students like M.A.K. Halliday into systemic functional grammar.

He was influenced by many great linguists for their great ideas and theories. Therefore, he decided to take part in the field of linguistics for the sake of improvements in his ideas related to language.
He was an English linguist, the first professor of general linguistics in Great Britain. He is famous for his ideas on phonology and the study of meanings.
This presentation covers major points about the Categorizing English world. It consists of other sub-points World Englishes, Braj Kachru, Several classifications schemes have been proposed, ENL, EFL, ESL, Developmental stages of English language, Exonormative
Componential analysis (feature analysis or contrast analysis) is the analysis of words through structured sets of semantic features, which are given as "present", "absent" or "indifferent with reference to feature". The method thus departs from the principle of compositionality. Componential analysis is a method typical of structural semantics which analyzes the components of a word's meaning.

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.
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.

The London School of Linguistics
1. The London School of Linguistics

2. Introduction
The London School of Linguistics is
involved with the study of language on the
descriptive plane (synchrony), the
distinguishing of structural (syntagmatics)
and systemic (paradigmatics) concepts,
and the social aspects of language.
Semantics is in the forefront.
3. The school’s primary contribution to linguistics
has been the situational theory of meaning in
semantics (the dependence of the meaning of a
linguistic unit on its use in a standard context by a
definite person; functional variations in speech
are distinguished on the basis of typical contexts)
and the prosodic analysis in phonology (the
consideration of the phenomena accruing to a
sound: the number and nature of syllables, the
character of sound sequences, morpheme
boundaries, stress, and so on).
4. The distinctive function is considered to be the primary
function of a phoneme. The London school rejects the
concepts of the speech collective and social experience and
studies the speech of the individual person; it is subject to
terminological and methodological inaccuracy and proves
in many aspects to be linguistics of speech and not
language.
5. The London School of Linguistics had
three main representatives:
• Henry Sweet (1845 - 1912). English philologist,
phonetician and grammarian. As a philologist,
he specialized in the Germanic languages,
particularly Old English and Old Norse. In
addition, Sweet published works on larger
issues of phonetics and grammar in language
and the teaching of languages. Many of his
ideas have remained influential, and a number
of his works continue to be in print, being used
as course texts at colleges and universities.
6. • Daniel Jones (1881 - 1967). British phonetician. He was
involved in the development of the International
Phonetic Alphabet from 1907 and went on to invent the
system of cardinal vowels and produce the English
Pronouncing Dictionary (1917).
7. • John Rupert Firth (1890 - 1960): Commonly
known as J. R. Firth, was an English linguist. He
was Professor of English at the University of
the Punjab from 1919–1928. He then worked
in the phonetics department of University
College London before moving to the School of
Oriental and African Studies, where he became
Professor of General Linguistics, a position he
held until his retirement in 1956.
8. British Structuralism
Daniel Jones took up and extended Sweet’s work on
phonetics. His work was highly influential in the
development of phonetics, and his books Outline of
English phonetics (1914) and English pronouncing
dictionary were widely used throughout the world.
9. But general linguistics in Britain really began with the
work of J.R. Firth, who held the first chair in linguistics,
in the University of London, from 1944 to 1956. Firth,
who had lived for some time in India and studied its
languages, brought a number of original and
provocative perspectives to linguistics; the tradition he
established is called the ‘London School’. Among other
things, he questioned the assumption that speech can
be divided into segments of sound strung one after the
other, regarding this as an artefact of alphabetic scripts
used by westerners.
10. His theory of prosodic analysis focused on phonetic
elements larger than individual sounds, and anticipated
some developments in phonology by half a century. Firth
was also deeply concerned with meaning, and, influenced
by the Polish anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski (1884–
1942), developed (at least in outline) a contextual theory of
meaning that accorded a crucial role to use in context –
embodied in the aphorism ‘meaning is use in context’.
11. Firth did not develop a fully articulated theory of grammar, but
rather laid out the framework on which a theory could be
developed. One of his students, Michael Alexander Kirkwood
Halliday (often M.A.K. Halliday) (1925–) was responsible for
elaborating Firth’s ideas and developing them into a coherent
theory of language. From the late 1950s, Halliday refined a
theory that ultimately came to be known as systemic functional
grammar; Halliday’s ideas have attracted a considerable amount
of attention, especially in applied linguistics, and the tradition he
began is represented in Britain, Australia, America, Spain, China,
and Japan.
12. But Firth’s ideas were developed in other ways as well,
including by other students, and their students. In fact,
Firth’s singular approach remains a source of
inspiration to many, and has spawned a range of neo-
Firthian theories.
