    Analysis of the Critical Discourse and Adversaries

    October 24, 2021 0
    Analysis of the Critical Discourse and Adversaries
    Discourse analysis is a branch of study that encompasses a variety of varied, primarily qualitative methods to the investigation of the interactions that exist between language in use and the social environment. Language is often viewed by researchers in the subject as a sort of social practice that has an impact on the social world and vice versa. There are many contemporary kinds of discourse analysis that have been overtly or indirectly informed by Michel Foucaults theories of power, knowledge, and discourse, which are discussed below. As a result of Foucaults work, there has been an increased interest in investigating the role that language plays in the formation and maintenance of certain knowledges and the maintenance of inequitable power relations. In order to undertake discourse analyses, human geographers often draw on one of three major schools of discourse analysis Foucauldian discourse analysis FDA , critical discourse analysis CDA , or Gramscian techniques. There are several theoretical and methodological distinctions between these approaches. While different approaches have different strengths and weaknesses, they all provide researchers with an effective means of investigating and exposing semiotic features of power relations in specific sociospatial contexts. While there are no set procedures for these techniques, researchers have recognized certain essential investigative strategies that can be used to inform the performance of any type of discourse analysis project. These strategies are included below. A brief history of Critical Discourse Analysis is offered, along with a full examination of the numerous criticisms levied at CDA and its practitioners over the previous two decades, both by scholars working within the critical paradigm and by other critical critics. Reader response and integration of contextual aspects are discussed, as well as a range of objections directed at the underlying premises and analytical technique. Additionally, there is discussion of contentious issues, such as the negative focus of much CDA work and CDAs developing standing as a intellectual orthodoxy They highlight the major criticisms that have emerged from this overview and provide some ways to overcome these shortcomings.

    Demonstrating Factors Causing Demotivation in Learning English as a Second Language in the University of Eastern Philippines Basis for Institutional Teaching Strategies
    This study aimed to document the demonstrating factors that demotivate college students at the University of Eastern Philippines Main Campus from learning English as a Second Language ESL . Based on the findings, the researchers developed institutional teaching strategies to address demotivation factors. The study employed a descriptive research design. A total of 552 randomly sampled college students enrolled in GE 2 Purposive Communication during the Second Semester of Academic Year 2020 2021 were considered as research participants. The questionnaire was adapted from the study of Gardner 1985 . Findings revealed that with a total weighted mean of 3.46, the respondents are “much demotivated” on the internal factors. On external factors, six 6 categories were found out, teachers' behavior, 3.75 “much demotivated ” teachers' competence, 3.63 “much demotivated ” classroom learning resource preparedness availability, 3.53, “much demotivated ” course content, 3.27 “demotivated ” class size, and course assessment and requirements, 3.26 “demotivated.” The 3.39 total weighted mean suggest that they are “demotivated” on external factors. The general weighted mean of 3.43, suggest that they are “much demotivated” on both internal and external factors. To address the demotivating factor issues of the language learners, the researchers came up with institutional teaching strategies framework which the language teachers may employ. These strategies include metacognitive, cognitive, social strategies, use of audio visual materials, and internet based language learning.

    Difference between Arabic and English in the Basic Sentence Structure Contrastive Analysis and Typical Translation Errors

    Human beings have a one of a kind feature language. Languages differ from one another in many ways. Standard Arabic and Standard English, for example, are distinct yet similar languages. That is, these two languages were developed independently of one another. The Arabic language is Semitic, or Syro Arabian, in the same way as the English language is German. They do, however, share some language characteristics on all levels, including phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic. These topics are heavily influenced by the fields of Contrastive Linguistics and Comparative Linguistics. The differences in fundamental sentence form between Arabic and English, as well as how English and Arabic differ in sentence structure, will be examined in this article, as well as how this impacts Arab students learning English as a second language. When attempting to translate from Arabic to English and vice versa, one of the most common mistakes students make is using incorrect terms.

    An Interpretation of Stoker's Dracula on the Basis of Psychoanalysis and Gender Criticism

    An Interpretation of Stoker's Dracula on the Basis of Psychoanalysis and Gender Criticism
    Be it a book, a movie or a series vampires are the most common characters in all forms of art. From the ancient times onwards, there are myths and tales orbiting the vampires. Some of them are still prevalent which makes them a nightmare. They can be in any form - a bat, a wolf, a man or a woman which casts no shadows, drinks blood and what not Even small children are not spared from their attack. A discussion of vampires leads to the most iconic vampire in the history of arts - Count Dracula. Bram Stoker's Dracula is an awe - inspiring vampire who still stands as an archetype in the world of vampires. The story of Dracula is taken as a model for most works of art in the vampire literature. Vampire literature becomes a zero without the story of the vampire hero Count Dracula in it. This study revolves around Stoker's Dracula - a small interpretation of the Un Dead by applying the theory of Psychoanalysis and Gender Studies. The first chapter deals with the psychic changes that is visible in the characters like Mina, Lucy etc. whilst the second chapter is about how the Victorian ladies emerged themselves as a New Woman. Dracula himself is a psychopath who manipulates every other characters. Major psychic changes occur to his preys. He is the crown figure of Oedipal complex. This study of the gothic fiction explores the concealed theme of sexuality. Also, the hidden fears and desires of the Victorian women.

    Modus Operandi of Empowering Women in Some Selected Novels of Anita Desai

    Modus Operandi of Empowering Women in Some Selected Novels of Anita Desai
    Because of the rigid rules and regulations of the patriarchal society we have to empower women for the development of the society itself. In the Vedic Ages women were highly respected in Indian society. “Sahadharmini” which means equal partner was used in that period. Women enjoyed respect, equality, education, and reverence at that time. It was in the age of Sutras and Epics i.e. in 500 B.C. to A.D.500 that the status of women changed considerably. Their position within the society was deteriorated day by day. Manu said that a woman has to be dependent before marriage on her parents and after marriage on her husband. Throughout their life they have to maintain their role as an obedient daughter, as a devoted wife, and as a caring mother. They became the subordinate and silence second sex under the strong clutches of the patriarchal society. The feminist of India consider him as a misogynist. However since independence, the role and status of women have been gradually changed. Through different type of feministic movement which is the outburst of centuries of struggle for women's rights, women become successful to snatch a respectable position for them within the society. Being a woman, the Indian novelists of the contemporary literature raised their voices against the suppressed cultures and traditions of the society where women are considered as inferior to men, through their writings. In this particular paper, the contemporary Indian novelist Anita Desai's two novels ‘Cry, the Peacock' and ‘Clear Light of Day' have been taken up for a brief discussion to understand the status of women in Indian society.

    Revisiting the Status of Odia Folktales through Eco Perspectives

    July 22, 2021 0
    Revisiting the Status of Odia Folktales through Eco Perspectives

    Folktale is a part of folklore literature, orally transferred in the shape of poems, songs, myths, dramas, rituals, proverbs and riddles of a particular place or people while folklore is considered as the amalgam of the customs, legends, traditions, old deities and timeless tales that preserved and passed from one generation to the other. One such richly endowed oral literature belongs to the state of Odisha, where grandchildren have grown up listening to stories from Mahabharata, Abolakara Kahani, Bagula Baguli chronicles, The Legend of Taw poi, The heroic feat of Dharmapada, Jataka Tales, and many other myths and legends that are popular among the people indigenous to this region. Fakir Mohan Senapati, Krishna Chandra Panigrahi and Chakradhar Mahapatra are pioneer in interweaving Odia folk elements into short stories. This paper will strive to critically appreciate the selected short fictions of Shri Raghabananda Dash and Ranjan Pradhan to explore the eco critical elements from their works such as Kathalahari 1927 and Tales From Hill and Jungle 2009 respectively. It represents the very essence of rural Odia culture, nature and tribal communities and focuses on the images of the stereotyping psychology that constructs human relationships with the non human world. The study will analyze the vernacular tongue, employment of supernatural elements and magic realism used by Dash and Pradhan which replicate a unique enchanting quality of Odia folktales. In stark contrast to these idiosyncratic embellishments many British writers like William Wordsworth, Thomas Hardy, Gilbert White, Stephen Moss, and Philip Henser and American writers like H.D Thoreau, Richard Wright, W.C. Byrant, William Bartram, Oscar Wilde have regarded Nature as a symbol of transcendence and focused on the environment and our surroundings through their works. However, none of the works of the Western raconteurs have any similarity with the moral, educational and realistic repertoire that Odia folklore encompasses. Unfortunately, the advent of capitalism and globalism has scrambled us into a generation of self conscious suppressors of our own illustrious past. Therefore, this paper will endeavour to revoke fresh discourses about Odia folktale as an eminent and timeless component of the Indian literary tradition occupied with abundance of green studies by maintain a fine balance between -˜Culture’ and -˜Nature’.

    A Description of Sebuano English Cyberlogues

    June 22, 2021 0
    A Description of Sebuano English Cyberlogues

    This paper describes the Sebuano English cyberlogues in cybersocieties, a code mixing phenomenon in Facebook and Youtube. Code mixing is an unconscious, extensive and regular transfer of linguistic units from one language or more to another, below the level of a sentence by a large population of bilingual and monolingual speakers. More particularly, this paper describes the patterns of code mixing, as well as the morphophonemic and morphosyntactic processes involved in the mixing process as reflected in the cyberlogues in the selected cybersocieties. Findings of this study will fill a research gap related to code mixing in written text and will partially indicate the Sebuano’s current lexicon. The data were gathered through documentation of cyberlogues in three Cebuano Facebook groups and one Youtube channel. The data were examined through the Relative Congruence Methodology adapted by the researcher from Rasul’s 2006 Context of Situation and other existing approaches in code mixing to provide an analysis of the patterns of code mixing from word to clausal levels and to describe the orthographical, morphological and syntactic processes involved in the mixing process. The results show that code mixing is manifested by insertion, nativization and miscellaneous attachments of the cooperating language to the accommodating language.
