THE ROLE OF A WOMAN IN THE NOVEL OF ROMANTIC PERIOD
Full text linkWomen have a very important role in every aspect of life, and that might be the social aspect, the treatment aspect, the communication aspect, or any other aspect of life. Therefore, in this topic of my choice – I will try to define the importance of a woman in the Romantic Period, including some different opinions from different authors on what specifically they applied in terms of the role of women. I will also try to describe at some very important points about how a woman was treated back in the time of Romantic Period, taking on consideration the novel of Jane Austen about Pride and Prejudice – to see the importance and the role of a woman. Also I am going to describe how a woman is treated today, and finally I will give the possibility to elaborate on whether a woman has the freedom to give the free thought and the free speech, and exactly all the questions regarding this issue will be given below.Keywords: Women, Romantic Period, Freedom, etc
AN ANALYSIS OF THE TWO SPEECHES DELIVERED BY MARTIN LUTHER KING
Full text linkThe aim of this paper is to make an analysis of the two greatest speeches delivered by Martin Luther King, such as: “I have a Dream” and “I’ve been to the Mountaintop.” The reason why we chose to analyze these two speeches is to see what message King wanted to deliver to the society living in that time, which we all know that it was segregated. Due to the fact that he was an Afro-American, not all the people liked him, and this shows that America was pro-racist oriented and America people exposed themselves as bewildered human race. But the oppressor couldn’t stop these mass marches and large gatherings because this civil rights movement of people just wanted to show peacefully to the government that they were verily barbarized and oppressed and thus appeared someone, a leader, who nonviolently and with peaceful political rally wanted to better the lives of his people by trying to stop this injustice or discrimination which was constantly done to them. As one conclusion we can say that although Martin Luther King sacrificed himself losing his life, yet he became a world’s symbol of peace and freedom.Keywords: Segregation, Bewilderment, Rally, Tension, Peace, Harmony, Freedom etc
BASIC ISSUES IN DERIVATIONAL MORPHOLOGY (SUFFIXES) CONTRASTIVE WITH ALBANIAN
Full text linkThe derivation or the origin of words is more productive in the system of word-formation. In descriptive linguistics and traditional grammar, the formation of a word it is made by changing the form of the base or by adding affixes to it –e.g. hope – hopeful, e.g. blerë – blerësit. With the word or the origin of the word we understand the formation of the new words or the words that exist in the language, it is a major source of new words in a language, and in historical linguistics, the derivation of a word is its history or saying better etymology. The derived origin of a word it’s made by prefix, suffix, prefix-suffix and without infixes. Our aim is to make an understandable presentation about derivational suffixes contrastive with those in the Albanian language.Keywords: derivation, English Grammar, Albanian Grammar, origin
EXPLORING THE CRITICAL PERIOD HYPOTHESIS: PERSPECTIVES, THEORIES, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
Full text linkThe whole purpose of this research is to describe what exactly the Critical Period Hypothesis is. The researcher takes into account different opinions of various authors on what specifically they have emphasized regarding the Critical Period Hypothesis. The Critical Period Hypothesis states that language acquisition becomes significantly more challenging and ultimately less successful after the first few years of life, which is the period when language develops most easily. This typically occurs between the ages of five and puberty. However, this does not imply that every researcher agrees—or should agree—with this theory. Noam Chomsky, one of the most well-known linguists of the twentieth century, founded his linguistic theories on certain philosophical ideas. Transformational Generative Grammar, based on mentalist philosophy, represents his primary contribution to linguistics. According to his Innateness Hypothesis, developed in the context of language learning, children are born with an inherent knowledge of the basic rules of grammar. Despite the complexity of the process, this innate knowledge aids children in acquiring their native language naturally and methodically. During a child's developmental stage, language acquisition is considered one of the most challenging processes. From the first few weeks of life until the mastery of grammar, the process of first language acquisition is carefully examined. The question of whether children learn their native language naturally or through significant effort remains a topic of considerable debate. Despite not being universally accepted, the Innateness Hypothesis remains the most compelling theory to explain how children acquire language. What, then, is the relevance of the critical period concept for adult learners as opposed to children? This, along with other important questions related to the issue, is addressed in the following sections
ON MANAGEMENT AND THE LEARNING PROCESS
Full text linkThe aim of this paper is to clarify how management could be effective in the learning process, or better to say what is going to be the main idea of creating one successful management of learning process. With other words, in this paper I will try shortly to define the correct definition of management, what would be some important characteristics of management in the learning process, and of course I will try clearly to mention what is going to be one important element of creating an effective management in the learning process, which will affect positively in students’ goals
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
