Dimensions of Construal Operations in Igbo
Get PDFConstruals are cognitive operations which are often strikingly similar to principles of visual perception (Radden & Dirven 2007). They refer to the different ways of viewing a particular situation, and languages linguistically provide means for different kinds of construals. However, construal events differ across languages. Some languages may not have available means to express, represent and organize the different spatial relations, this leads to the inability of the speakers to freely choose the construal they want to portray as a result of lack of alternatives in their language of use. This paper aims at investigating the existence of construals in the Igbo langage. Owing to the fact that no investigation has been done on construal operations in Igbo language prior to this study, there is therefore no existing template for this research. The data for this work will however be drawn partly from examples in works on construals in addition to the researcher’s intuitive knowledge as a speaker. The classifications of construals by Radden and Dirven (2007) shall be adopted as the theoretical framework in this pursuit. Part of the findings is that Igbo expresses these construals. Secondly, this finding goes to falsify Verhagen’s (2007)’s. opinion that some languages may not be able to express all the construals
The Love of the Nightingale: Fitzgerald and Wilde’s Views on Love
Get PDFWilde’s love was like the nightingale in his work The Nightingale and the Rose, who was desperate for the love and beauty in his heart. While Fitzgerald loved the night, his personality is as gentle as it, and his love is also as loyal as the nightingale in Wilde’s writing. Loving only one person in his whole life, he attained fame and fortune for her, and lost himself because of his love. Fitzgerald and Wilde, separated by the Atlantic Ocean and lived in two periods of 40 years apart, but their love that did not end well, resounds like the poignant song of a nightingale
Protecting the Jewish Identity Through Digital Privacy Within the Context of Created World (ARZ-I MEVUD)
Get PDFThe State of Israel has been adopted as a form of government that has a population of about six million and remains in an area of about twenty one thousand square kilometers, not included in the nation-state structure. The area where the state is located is where the Kingdom of Yehuda is. Culturally, it has hosted many religions, especially Judaism, Christianity, Druze and Bahaili. There is a long depth of political history and awareness of political culture that makes it behind the establishment of the state.The identity foundations of Judaism are Jewish society chosen as determined by the Torah. In terms of politics, it is seen that Israeli Political Systematics was created within the framework of Zionism and diversified from different political ideologies formed among Zionist party groups.The subject of Arz-ı Mevud, the Promised Lands, is an issue that is based on religious foundations and interacts on politics. According to the Judaic belief, it is a region that is shown by Jehovah as an area belonging to the Israelites and is included in a large area between the Euphrates and the Nile. However, its exact boundaries are not clear. When evaluated in the context of Judaism belief, Hz. Mose’s all the lands traveled until he entered the Palestinian territory form the border of the Promised Land region.The purpose of this study; The aim of this course is to evaluate the sensitivities of transforming the issue of “Arz-ı Mevud” (Promised Land) into a policy tool today. The promised land issue is still an ideologically valid issue. It is possible to say that the Israeli State focuses on this issue, which is based on the ideology of religion, and that it has ideological dreams and sanctions in the region mentioned in the Promised Land. In this context, the Promised Lands issue is important for the State of Israel and it aims to reconstruct its ideological sustainability by reconstructing the state identity in the region with digital diplomacy in the framework of the changing bureaucracy order. In this sense,the existing literature has been examined and the findings have been evaluated and presented as a whole

Research on the Anti-Poverty Strategy of the Southern Song Government and Its Contemporary Value
Get PDFIn the Song Dynasty, significant changes occurred in Chinese traditional society: monetary economy thrived and commoner culture was very popular. However, there were also social problems such as the widening wealth gap and the increase in poverty behind economic prosperity. The Southern Song Dynasty was established after Jianyan Nandu. Under the confrontation with the minority regime in the north, the government of the Southern Song Dynasty adopted a series of anti-poverty measures and encouraged the people to carry out anti-poverty activities to deal with corresponding social problems, so as to consolidate their political stability. Because the anti-poverty measures system of the Southern Song government is relatively complete and the system is relatively strict, it is still of great significance to today’s society. This article tries to explore the anti-poverty measures of the Southern Song government and tries to reveal its contemporary value
Akwali Songs of Awkuzu Women of South East Nigeria: Implications for Feminism, Gender and Women Empowerment in Igbo Cuture
Get PDFThis study has investigated in a feminist manner, the seeming absence of scholarship of oral poetry on the emancipation and empowerment of women in the traditional Igbo society. It has done this by using the lamentation (akwali) songs of Awkuzu women in South east Nigeria. Using feminist theory, the research explored various recorded akwali songs in Awkuzu to: ascertain the cause and effect of gender imbalance among females and their male counterparts that necessitated the use of akwali songs to achieve gender equality and women empowerment in Awkuzu. Thus, the study aimed to demonstrate that oral poetry is an effective tool for initiating social change in traditional African society
Analysis of the Potential of International Migration Issues in the Context of Economic Indicators is Provided in Time Series Analysis: The Case of Turkey
Get PDFThe phenomenon of migration, starting with the existence of humanity and continuing until today, can be evaluated in the context of two main functions, especially in recent years. The first is the phenomenon of illegal migration and the other is the phenomenon of international migration.The phenomenon of illegal immigration is a phenomenon that gains importance with the change of international security perceptions and is considered as a security threat.Turkey, both geographical location as being sourced from the environmental status of developed country by country, international migration and illegal immigration, as well as being the country of transit countries also come to the fore. However, it is clear that it does not have as strict measures as other countries that have a say in the context of migration effects. This situation is directly related to the phenomenon of irregular migration as well as lack of data on migration and other migration related issues.In this study, since the realization of the basic concepts explaining the phenomenon of migration for international migration in Turkey will be discussed likely to cause socio-economic problems. Turkey should both source and transit in migration issues in the target countries qualify as international issues will be discussed. In this case the cost of Turkey or sing with a clearer impact on market conditions functioning in Turkey will be investigated.In this study, time series analysis will be studied. As the dependent variable is the number of immigrants who are present in Turkey determined arguments producer price index, consumer price index and gross domestic revenue. Gretel Lab Cloud program will use Breusch-Godfrey autocorrelation analysis. The study will be analyzed to cover the years 2005-2023. On the other hand, the data set to be used in the analysis will be discussed on an annual basis.Machine learning models have the ability to detect hidden patterns in data and identify complex relationships between variables. The machine learning algorithms that will be used in this research can help us to analyse the factors affecting the migration phenomenon in Turkey and the effects of these factors on economic indicators.Machine learning methods can reveal important information about the migration phenomenon in Turkey. Moreover, machine learning models can also be used to predict future migration trends. This may be effective in making more informed decisions while shaping Turkey’s policies on migration phenomenon.However, should also consider the limitations of the machine learning methods. To use in our project. The quality and representativeness of the data set may affect the reliability of the machine learning results. Also, the complexity of the model and the interpretability of the results are important
Research on News Translation From an English-Chinese Comparative Perspective
Get PDFThe divergent historical development and customs of Eastern and Western civilizations have led to differences in language, culture, and cognitive paradigms. This paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of the Chinese translation of “Paranoid Politics Goes Viral” in The New York Times, from the perspective of English-Chinese comparison. The analysis covers the lexical and sentence structures level of both languages, including part of speech, connotative words, hypotaxis and parataxis, active and passive voice, topic structure, and cognitive disparities. To address these differences, it is essential to avoid untranslatability and non-equivalence arising from cultural distinctions. Selecting appropriate translation strategies becomes crucial in order to fully utilize the strengths of the target language and accurately convey information to the readers in the target language
