Get PDFConsidering the expansion of Dialectology in Brazil, which, in the 19th century, presented the first clues with the Viscount of Pedra Branca’s publication about the Brazilian Portuguese language compared to the European Portuguese spoken in Portugal, this paper presents the stages of development of the studies carried out since then and lists not only the periods that preceded Brazilian Geolinguistics, but the research that culminated with the publication of States Linguistic Atlases, the publication of the Linguistic Atlas of Brazil in 2014, idealized fifty years before, and the presentation of other documents already completed or designed, thus contemplating the entire Brazil length and completing the fourth phase of Geolinguistic studies. Twelve atlases were published in this phase, whose pioneering role was for Bahia speech, in 1963, and advanced in the work related to Minas Gerais (1977), Paraíba (1977). 1984), Sergipe (1987 and 2002), Paraná (1994), The Southern Region (2002), Pará (2004), Ceará (2009), Goiás (2015), Pernambuco (2016) and Amapá (2017). However, in recent years, researches of linguistic varieties in traditional communities, such as Indigenous, Fishermen and Quilombolas, as are named the descendants and remaining of communities formed by enslaved fugitives, has drawn the attention of researchers and the elaboration of linguistic atlases involving these culturally differentiated people speeches already signals the fifth phase of Geolinguistic studies in the country. Thus, it is intended to present a description of the works, their methodological constitution and a brief overview of the products of these works, which cataloged, at the time of their conclusion, presented specific linguistic marks of the speech of each state and informants’ profiles that allowed the verification of sociocultural interferences

Marvell\u27s "To his Coy Mistress" and Devkota\u27s "In Falgun Blooms the Entire World": Western vs Eastern Treatment to Nature
No full textWestern view of human and nature relationship is anthropocentric. It takes human being as the center of value and nature as an object created for human benefit. One may wonder how may be the eastern view of human and nature relationship. This article studies how the east takes nature.

Work Motivation and Job Satisfaction of Local Government Employees in Matalam, Cotabato Philippines: A Basis for Intervention Program
Get PDFThe study was a descriptive-correlational research. It primarily aimed to determine the significant relationship between the work motivation and job satisfaction of regular employees of the municipal local government of Matalam, Cotabato, Philippines. The study found out that regular employees have moderate level of work motivation with a high level of need of affiliation and achievement while moderate level of need of power. Moreover, the study determined that the regular employees have a high level of job satisfaction at work with high level of satisfaction on co-workers’ support and work conditions while moderate level of satisfaction on benefits and managerial support. Moreover, the study also proposed an intervention program that the Heads, Supervisors and Human Resource Management Development Office may use as a keystone in addressing problems on work motivation explored in the study such as issues on wanting to be liked by others, finding themselves talking to those around them about non-work matters, inability to solve the problems that arise in work and issues on being in charge. The intervention program also had recommendations to address problems on job satisfaction of the regular employees such as issues on their current salary on meeting their qualification, colleagues on giving them opportunities to contribute ideas from various perspectives, contentment on working under the supervision, continuous feedback of the supervisor to help them achieve the goals, and meeting career objectives through the current jobs. Lastly, the research determined a positive yet low relationship between the work motivation and job satisfaction of the regular employees. Nevertheless, the study concluded that the correlation that was found between the variables was insignificant and due to probability. Also, no dimension of work motivation was found to be statistically significantly associated with any of the dimensions of job burnout

Kautilya, the Indian Machiavelli; On War and diplomacy in Ancient India
Get PDFIn the contemporary period because of a little fluctuation in the global situation different variations have equally occurred in the acts of diplomacy. Previously the emphasis was actually on hard power as a method of diplomatic preparation.

A Philosophical Reflection on what negritude meant for Senghor
Get PDFThis work is not meant to carry out a general study on the concept of ‘negritude’. It concentrates on Senghor’s understanding and explanation of negritude. With this we will try to establish a basic epistemological foundation for the Negro-African. From this basic ground, other truth and ingenuity about his personality can be established for the singular purpose of affirming his identity.Hence, by understanding the nature and meaning of negritude as Senghor explains, it can serve as the basis of African enquiry into the wider world in line with the epistemological theory of foundationalism which seeks for the most basic beliefs that are infallible which can serve as foundation for all other knowledge. Thus, with the truth of negritude as foundation the Negro- African can have a basic epistemological ground upon which he can rest to assert other truths about himself and in this manner could affirm his identity and meaningful contribution to the global existence so much as other races in this multi-raced world. This work will adopt three methodologies in line with the theme under discussion. It employs expository, analytic and hermeneutic approaches. First of all, the Senghor’s Negritude Movement and its ideology will be exposed. There will be an analysis of Senghor’s negritude for a better comprehension. Finally the Negritude Movement will be interpreted hermeneutically in the light of the foundation lists theor
