Twitter: Why constraints breed creativity
•
1 like•638 views
1. The document discusses whether Twitter is killing literacy by examining arguments on both sides of the debate. It defines standard English and argues that Twitter talk is a dialect that evolves from constraints like the 140 character limit, not a cause of illiteracy. 2. Opponents argue that abbreviations and jargon on Twitter can negatively impact language skills, but proponents counter that use of informal language is a choice and that technology has always driven linguistic evolution through history. 3. The conclusion is that while critiques believe Twitter hampers expression, constraints can also foster creativity, and Twitter is not destroying literacy since language evolves based on norms over time rather than any single platform.

This document provides an answer key for a quiz on the English language. It begins by filling in blanks in sentences about the origins and history of English. It then has multiple choice questions about which languages became widespread due to globalization, how English can be defined, how Latin influence continued, the rules for constructing sentences in English, vowels in Modern English, functions of language, what Old English endings expressed, why external changes are unpredictable, incorrect statements about internal changes, and what internal causes have to do with. Finally, it has a matching section connecting concepts like the OED, Modern English, semantics, register, grammar, and geographical features to their definitions.

The document discusses second language acquisition. It defines a second language as any language learned after one's first or native language. Acquiring a second language is often a lifelong process, and most learners do not become fully native-like in the second language, though considerable fluency can be achieved with practice. Some research suggests the defining difference between a first and second language is the age at which they are learned, with a second language referring to one learned after puberty, and people generally do not achieve the same level of fluency in a second language as their first.
Communicating in english flexibility within a norm
For many years, scholars have debated whether a standard form of English exists. Some argue that variants of English spoken in different places are incorrect, while others believe a standard form cannot exist given the evolving nature of language. The article explains that while scholars have sought to establish a standard English, this has not been possible as language is constantly changing and developing. The research is applied, using an established theory to investigate the topic, and relies on a priori knowledge gained from observing variants of English used in different countries.

There is no single standard form of English due to the language constantly evolving over time. While some scholars advocate for a standard English, the language varies across different parts of the world and is always changing with use. The article examines research on English as an applied study, using established linguistic theories to investigate how English has developed different variants internationally without a single standardized version.

Language: variation, defination, and how to learn
This document discusses the nature of language and how it is learned. It defines language as a human communication system using sounds, gestures, or symbols. Language involves four skills - listening, speaking, reading and writing - that are developed through regular practice. The document also notes that language varies in terms of dialects, accents, registers and styles depending on factors like region, pronunciation, domain, and social relationships. It suggests five practices and two ways to learn language, along with thinking, speaking and writing as ways to activate the language. Finally, it identifies nouns, verbs and adjectives as the basic building blocks of any language.
Text Why do we teach english?
English is the most widespread language in the world due to its use in business, government, aviation, maritime industries, and popular culture, even in countries where it is not the primary language. While Mandarin Chinese has more native speakers, English is spoken more internationally. English is dominant in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland, and is used as a secondary language in Hong Kong, Singapore, Nigeria, the Philippines, and Malaysia to communicate between various local languages. The importance of English stems not just from the number of speakers but from its roles in global news, information sharing, and popular entertainment that spread its influence worldwide.

This document discusses whether English is the most widely spoken language in the world. It notes that while Chinese and Spanish have more native speakers, English has over 1.7 billion total speakers and is used extensively internationally as a lingua franca. English became an important global language due to the economic success and influence of English-speaking countries. There is no definitive count of words in the English language, but the Oxford English Dictionary contains over 600,000 words, suggesting it has the largest vocabulary of European languages. Not all words in dictionaries are in active use today.

The document discusses the concept of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) as an alternative to the traditional view of English having a 'standard' form based on Inner Circle varieties. It notes that ELF users prioritize effective communication over narrow definitions of correctness, making use of accommodation strategies, code-switching, and innovating in ways that create their own preferred forms. Research on ELF has found its users exploit the language through these means while focusing on successful interaction, not adherence to native speaker norms. The implications are that English teaching may need to take an ELF approach that develops accommodation skills and accepts global variation rather than discourage creativity.

It then examines cultural issues like differences in language, semantics due to varying meanings of signs and symbols across cultures. It also discusses overcoming cultural barriers through mutual understanding. Linguistic issues covered are differences in language, dialects, literacy levels and interference between languages. The document emphasizes that understanding cultural and language differences is crucial to effective cross-cultural communication.
Real&imagin te
This document discusses the complexity of how English functions globally and how concepts like native/non-native speakers and varieties are often oversimplified. It notes that languages are social constructs linked to how people use them, not entities with independent existence. While classifications like Kachru's circles aimed to recognize this complexity, terms often slip back into inaccurate shortcuts. There is variation within countries, and English is used by native and non-native speakers in many places. Standard English exists more as a written norm influenced by consensus rather than rules, so no one is fully knowledgeable about standards in all places.

Here are the steps to solve this logic puzzle:
1. Albert knows the word immediately because he must have a unique letter - c, o, h, s, x, or i - that only appears in one word.
2. Bernard thinks for a moment, so he doesn't have a unique letter, but can eliminate words based on the unique letters Albert can't have.
3. Cheryl also thinks for a moment, so she doesn't have a unique letter either, but can determine the word with the process of elimination.
4. The only word left that is consistent with Albert, Bernard, and Cheryl's letters is "dog".
Therefore, the word they all knew is "dog

Prescriptivism essay feedback
The document provides guidance on how to structure an essay response about prescriptivism versus descriptivism in language. It includes sample introduction and context paragraphs that define the terms and discuss the historical background of the debate. It also gives suggestions for the main body, such as using examples to support arguments for and against prescriptivism, and discussing how language change and flexibility are important but rules aim to standardize communication.
Language and society
This document discusses different perspectives on the concept of language. It contrasts the view of language in linguistics with more everyday understandings. In linguistics, language is studied through examining its universal properties, using both natural languages like English as well as artificial example languages. These artificial languages demonstrate properties like vocabulary, syntax and semantics. However, they lack meaningful relationships to the real world. Natural languages relate symbols to the world through truth conditions and can be used to make statements that are true or false. The document introduces the sociolinguistic perspective, which studies language use in its social contexts.
Textspeak: English Language
Textspeak refers to the language used in text messages, including abbreviations, acronyms, initialisms, variant spellings, and representations of words that sound similar. It has evolved over time and spread from text messages to social media sites that have character limits. While some critics argue that textspeak damages proper language development, others believe it is now widely used in communication by celebrities and politicians on sites like Twitter.
Phrases and Sentences.ppt
The document discusses varieties of English around the world and how they differ from inner circle varieties. It notes that differences in pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar and sentence structure between varieties can sometimes lead to lack of intelligibility or misunderstanding. However, many features that seem non-standard are actually the result of language transfer from a speaker's first language and influence the development of new Englishes. The document advocates understanding rather than judgment of world Englishes.

Why women should lift
This document discusses three common myths about women lifting weights and provides evidence to debunk each myth. The myths are that 1) lifting weights will cause women to bulk up and get muscular, 2) cardio is better for weight loss than weight training, and 3) muscles will turn to fat if exercise is stopped. The document provides scientific studies and facts showing that women do not have high enough testosterone levels to bulk up like men and that weight training boosts metabolism and calorie burning more than cardio alone. It concludes by offering some easy ways for women to start lifting weights.

Artificial Intelligence in the Media
This document discusses artificial intelligence (AI), including its definition, uses, depictions in media, and whether it is beneficial or detrimental to humanity. It defines AI as machines that can perform tasks requiring human intelligence. AI is used commercially to aid decision making and substitute for human consultants, and is used in consumer products like video games. The document analyzes AI characters from The Matrix, Absolute Boyfriend, and Tron Legacy that deviated from their original objectives. It concludes that while AI is created to be beneficial, selfish motives or its own development could cause it to become detrimental if not properly constrained.

5th LF Energy Power Grid Model Meet-up Slides
5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.Monitoring and Managing Anomaly Detection on OpenShift.pdf
