English Nonverbal Expressions in Communication
Get PDFHumans send messages not only with the help of of words, but they can also convey meaning through the usage of facial expressions, eye contact, body language, hand gestures and tone of voice all of which we know as nonverbal communication. It involves all those nonverbal stimuli in a communication setting that are generated by both the source and his or her use of the environment, and that have potential message value for the source and receiver [1, P-271]. To put it simply, nonverbal communication is the widely the use of wordless messages in generating meaning. Nonverbal expressions can be examplified by head movements, facial expressions, eyes, voice, smell, gestures, postures, body movements, clothing, touching, personal space, environment, time and cultural context
An Investigation of the Difficulties of Translating Cultural Colloquial Collocations in Iraqi Dialect from Arabic Language into English Language and its Relevance to the Vocabularies of the Five Senses: Pragmatics Study
Get PDFThe main goal of the study is to find solutions to the difficulties encountered when translating Iraqi colloquialisms collocations based on context, cultural connotation, and pragmatic effect. In the study, samples from both qualitative and quantitative categories are employed. The qualitative samples, which are grounded in Gricean theory (2001) and focus on eight Iraqi slang collocations related to the vocabulary of the five senses, follow the translational strategies of Newmark (1988), whereas the quantitative samples relate to undergraduate M.A. students at Basra University are chosen randomly.
The purpose of this essay was to introduce the explicit/implicit dichotomy, the Gricean concept of implicature (conventional and conversational), its recent advancements, and its relationship to the speaker's goals, communicative responsibility, and reason. The Gricean distinction between "what is said" and "what is implicated"—between the proposition that a speech expresses and the implicit meaning of the utterance—was our starting point. What is at issue is a component of the speaker's meaning that is distinct from what is said and makes no contribution to the sentence's truth-conditions.
The goal of this study is to convey the same meaning and cultural influence, as well as pragmatics, to the target language by using Iraqi colloquialisms and collocations. This removes the ambiguity of these pleasant and yet strange linguistic collocations. The analysis shows that the real difficulty in translating Iraqi colloquialisms collocations is choosing the wrong translation method, especially when there is no equivalency. When a source text (SL) is written in a slang dialect, it can be difficult to translate it into the target language (TL) since it contains cultural implications and pragmatic effects. The study separates between appropriate and inappropriate translations and identifies potential Iraqi colloquialisms collocations translation solutions using suitable methodology.
Shedding light on these colloquial collocations related to the five senses that are highly used in the daily life of Iraqi individuals and this almost certainly follows the customs and traditions of peoples in all countries of the world. Shedding light on these vocabularies related to the five senses that are highly used in the daily life of Iraqi individuals, and this almost certainly follows the customs and traditions of peoples in all countries of the world. The study is based on Iraqi colloquial collocations which are related to the five senses, in order to clarify the difficulties of translation from Arabic into English, in order to convey the same cultural and pragmatic meaning which are related to these collocations, and moving away from Literal and adopting communicative translation

Get PDFA brief history of the English Language
English is a West Germanic language, part of a group of languages that developed in the area of Europe's North Sea, which includes modern-day countries such as Germany, Norway, Denmark, and the United Kingdom (among others). There are six West Germanic languages in all: English, Dutch/Flemish, German, Afrikaans, Yiddish, and the lesser-known Frisian.
English as we know it has its origin in Germanic tribes who migrated to the UK around 400-500 CE. The language they developed is typically classified as Old English, and looks very little like the English of today—particularly thanks to its different word order, now-peculiar spellings, and use of characters such as ash (æ) and eth (ð), both of which have fallen out of common use today. This language evolved into Middle English during the twelfth-fifteenth centuries, influenced by Latin, Old Norse, and French. Middle English is much more readable to the modern eye, though the spelling is often still unusual and the th-sounding letter thorn, now written as þ (not to be confused with p) had not yet been replaced by Y (as in "Ye Olde Shoppe" and which, in turn, was later replaced by th)
