However, to most students in China, vocabulary is the main problem they have met when they learn English. In order to improve their vocabulary learning skills, a study is needed to find out definitions and classifications of English learning strategies used by college students in Changzhi University. Further more, students’ different employment of language learning strategies and the related results are essential to be explored. This thesis aims to investigate the vocabulary learning strategies used by non-English majors by means of questionnaires. The subjects are 238 non-English majors from Changzhi University. Both similarities and differences of application of language learning strategies are explored. The correlation between vocabulary learning strategies and test scores is conducted as well. Further more, some suggestions for lexical learning will be put forward.","PeriodicalId":122430,"journal":{"name":"Scholars International Journal of Linguistics and Literature","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121041505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I aim to determine to what extent the acquisition of the trill by these speakers may differ from the same process in monolingual children. To that end, I will recruit twenty children Spanish-English bilingual heritage speakers (3-6 years of age), and twenty monolingual children of the same age who have never been exposed to another language. To collect the data, I will schedule brief Zoom meetings with the parents of the participants, and I will ask them to connect with the children to play a quick game (a picture-naming task). I will carefully listen to the recordings and examine the participant’s accuracy to produce the acoustic features of the Spanish trill. I will analyze all the tokens acoustically using PRAAT (Boersma & Weenink, 2017). The research hopes to be a contribution in the field of phonological acquisition of Spanish in bilingual settings, and to fill a gap in the literature regarding the development of the trill by heritage speakers.","PeriodicalId":122430,"journal":{"name":"Scholars International Journal of Linguistics and Literature","volume":"672 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126919631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Premised on the objective of raising more awareness on the significance of morphological research, this paper has applied both the quantitative and qualitative analysis methods to the historic speech “I Have a Dream” by the African American civil rights figurehead Martin Luther King Jr. The scientific roadmap thus carved has led its process through the identification, labelling and numbering of the distinctive derivational (50 /40%) and inflectional (75 / 60%) morphemes. A furthering of the quantitative input has displayed an outstanding use of nominalisations with nouns derived from adjectives 17 [13.6%] and from verbs 12 [9.6%] with bound morphemes such as “ity”, “ice”, “ation”, “tion”, “or”, and “dom”. On the inflectional part, the prevailing use of regular and irregular plural number imparting morphemes (47 / 37.6%) together with tense inflections (16 / 12.8%) pair up to confirm, in a qualitative analytical approach, the ideological perspective of the speaker to include the largest anonymous members of the African American community as the intended beneficiaries of his unquenchable soft but vibrant battle for freedom. The use of tense indicating morphemes has revealed the presence of a threefold tense progression from the past tense (simple past and past perfect) to the simple present and then to the future. The crosscheck of the semantics of such morphemic operations has uncovered the perspective of Martin Luther King Jr for the logical representation of the sufferings of the Black community and liberation struggles in the past, the need to keep the battle going in the present time with the conviction of brighter days in the future.","PeriodicalId":122430,"journal":{"name":"Scholars International Journal of Linguistics and Literature","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117010818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Security in Zamfara state has become a major problem in recent times. Cases of abduction, kidnapping, terrorism, senseless killings, maiming, nihilism, burgeoning restlessness, banditry, and other others, have been undoubtedly rampant. Therefore, Zamfara citizens, despite the state apparatus to ensure the safety and protection of lives and property, are incessantly living in perpetual fear and worry. It is against this backdrop that the study tends to proffers other means of trying to resolve the scenario of crises and banditry through the sociology of language and culture as a panacea to incessant crises and banditry in Zamfara state, Nigeria. The objective of the study is, among other things, reasonably available data to identify how language and culture would lead to the achievement of peacebuilding across the state. The researcher employed the use of questionnaires, oral interviews, and formal interactions to elicit information from the inhabitants of the study areas where there are records of banditry and conflicts activities are extensive. The work employed the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis which holds that our thoughts are shaped by our native language and that speakers of different languages, therefore, think differently as its theoretical Framework. The study discovered among other things that the application of language and culture are stronger weapons than the arms and ammunition which are being employed by the federal government of Nigeria in attempting to resolve many crises in Zamfara state.","PeriodicalId":122430,"journal":{"name":"Scholars International Journal of Linguistics and Literature","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132531733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to examine the verbal humor found in Mrnigelng video entitled “Uncle Roger DISGUSTED by this Egg Fried Rice Video (BBC Food)”. By employing Shades verbal humor classifications and Attardo General Theory of Verbal Humor, this study analyzes the types of verbal humor used in the object and how they are generated. The result of this study shows that there are eight types of verbal humor found in the object: Pun, Riddle, Joke, Satire, Farce, Sarcasm, Tall Tale, and Wit. Based on the result, it can be seen that Nigel primarily uses Satire to tease an English cook and to prevent his jokes from being morally unacceptable.","PeriodicalId":122430,"journal":{"name":"Scholars International Journal of Linguistics and Literature","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123782263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its appearance in 1922 started a critical debate among critics who found it hard to place both because of the poet's complex artistic strategies and because of the poem's kaleidoscopic orchestrated structure. From this perspective, the present paper is mainly concerned with the poem’s kaleidoscopic structure highlighting the text's intertextuality, heterogeneity and multiculturalism. It seeks to re-read and investigate the poem from the perspective of Edward Said's Postcolonial theory proving that the poem’s encyclopedic structure achieves for the poet a form of Neo-Colonialism where the poet’s intellectual domination replaces the territorial one. The study concludes by showing that The Waste Land is an early example of postmodernism where the text becomes the poet’s Neo-empire.","PeriodicalId":122430,"journal":{"name":"Scholars International Journal of Linguistics and Literature","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129193369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Washington Ring was not only a brilliant historian, but he was also a superb biographer. During his first three and a half years in Spain, he spent a lot of time reading extensively. The majority of his time was spent at the library, and the subjects of his research notes were Arabs and Arab culture. In this study, we will investigate the personal and cultural factors that led Washington Irving to write about the Arab world. While travelling, Irving \"thought of producing a collection of tales of various places made of legends,\" as he wrote in his journal. A closer examination reveals deeper connections between the two endeavours (gathering legends and developing a pan-history) than it at first appears. A list of Irving's Arabesque works should show how important they are in relation to the rest of his work and how much reading and research went into them. This research will utilise Irving's extensive readings to provide a historical context for the major traditions that will be examined, while also providing an overview of the current condition of orientalism in relation to Arab culture. To illustrate Arab culture, I will analyse every facet of Orientalism in Irving's works (settings, satire, history, fiction, etc.) and see how they relate to the study of Arabic literature. This work will encourage future researchers to conduct a thorough examination of Irving's background research that compelled him to write his other works.","PeriodicalId":122430,"journal":{"name":"Scholars International Journal of Linguistics and Literature","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116472007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
