Although hypotheses of how language might have originated have been formed, these hypotheses are outdated at best and no attempts have been made to improve on these theories or to formulate new ones. This study hence aims to devise a new theory discussing the origins of language by taking into account the shortcomings of existing theories and resolving these to form a new, more comprehensive theory. The new theory is structured as a process which, rather than only suggesting a single point from which language might have originated, focuses on detailing the entire process from language origin to present day modern language. This study also aims to provide evidence to substantiate the validity of the theory through reviews ofexisting research and analysis of documented proto-languages such as Proto-Indo-European (PIE) and Proto-Austronesian (PAN). Several areas of research that may provide further support for the theory will also be suggested. As such, this study will demonstrate that the issue of language origin does not have to be speculative in nature and can be based on tangible evidence such as hominin anatomy, genetics, documented proto-languages, and even modern languages.","PeriodicalId":185316,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the University of Craiova.

One of the most important aspects in the training of such specialists is the knowledge of foreign languages. It gives opportunities to communicate freely with foreign colleagues, to do internships abroad, to read professional scientific literature, to participate in international conferences. The study of French as a foreign language during bachelor and master programs should be holistic, comprehensive and dynamic, with clear requirements, based on the useof modern educational literature and Internet resources. Language practice is one of the most important components in the training of a qualified specialist. French as a Foreign Language program for physical therapists and occupational therapists should be logically structured, balanced, aimed at preparing for Professional French Diploma in Health Care, and contain a set of interdisciplinary knowledge on health care system in France.","PeriodicalId":185316,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the University of Craiova.

It has been established that multimodality is expressed at verbal, verbal-non-verbal, and non-verbal modes in English-language comics which are considered as visual and graphic texts. It was found out that all comic texts are represented by partial or complete multimodality. The complete multimodality implies a close connection with both lingual and visual components of a text space. The partial multimodality of the text presupposes a relative autonomy of a verbal constituent and its independence on imagery. The verbal component of expressing modality is represented at the phonetic, lexical, syntactic, textual levels of the language, as well as with deictic markers, and expressive means. The verbal-visual and visual proper multimodality means include the phonosemantic channel, paragraphemics, font typeface, colour.","PeriodicalId":185316,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the University of Craiova.
