{"title":"The Italian immigrants and the American Dream in Pascal D’Angelo’s “Son of Italy”","authors":"Matteo Cacco","doi":"10.19044/llc.v9no1a10","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.19044/llc.v9no1a10","url":null,"abstract":"After the Italian Unification in 1861, farmers, masons, artisans – mostly from southern Italy – decided to leave their villages and their families to emigrate to America. At the time, America was a country that was the subject of travelers’ legends that recounted how people there could achieve economic stability and settle the foundations to support their families. Pascal D’Angelo and his father were migrants from Abruzzi who decided to pursue the American dream: his autobiography, “Son of Italy,” tells of the magic of Abruzzi and the dream, which then became a nightmare, that he found himself living once he arrived in America. According to his autobiography, daily life in America was a nightmare based on survival and strenuous work on the construction sites where Italian immigrants earned little more than a dollar an hour. On those construction sites, Pascal D’Angelo discovered that his talents were not building houses, working with concrete and shovel, but in poetry and writing. However, before being able to show these qualities, he recounted in his autobiography the illusion of the American dream and the misery that Italians in America, known at the time by the derogatory names such as wop and dago, were forced to endure. Pascal D’Angelo, after quitting his job on the construction sites, had to accept many rejections from editors before being allowed to publish his poems and, in this article, it will be investigated how he managed to fulfill his dream and how he experienced the Italian migration in the U.S.A. The methodology of this text is based on comparative literature within the field of Italian American critical studies: Pascal D’Angelo’s autobiography is analyzed in relation to the studies of Durante, Fontanella and Luconi. Moreover, Pascal D’Angelo’s autobiography is compared with the novels’ content of John Fante and Pietro Di Donato, who were two writers still representing the pillars of Italian American literature. The objective of this study is to focus on Pascal D’Angelo peculiar immigrant experience because the literary criticism on him is scarce, despite the fact that he is a unique example of a “colonial writer” and deserves to be studied for his innovative content: it is shown how, through his writing, he was able to become the voice of the Italian immigrants by narrating his daily life without filters and letting the reader experience the tragedy of the daily work of Italian immigrants in America.","PeriodicalId":243248,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Linguistics, Literature and Culture","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125163815","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}

In Italy, small and medium firms show a marked preference for website translations, even if, as pointed out by PIMLICO research in 2011, it is not possible to define these products as multilingual websites or localised ones. Firms show a tendency to reduce investments in foreign languages and to simplify the hiring processes of employees, since they prefer to rely on external services rather than providing training courses or hire specialists. Referring to this background of references and the evidence that emerged from an online questionnaire submitted to Sicilian small and medium firms (Di Gregorio and Benzo, 2016), the aim of this paper is to investigate the choices of firms to localise websites as part of a comprehensive linguistic policy.","PeriodicalId":243248,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Linguistics, Literature and Culture","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122590030","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}

{"title":"The Narrative Motif of the Ghost in Classical Chinese Literature","authors":"Cristina Dinu","doi":"10.19044/llc.v9no1a1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.19044/llc.v9no1a1","url":null,"abstract":"The first part of this paper presents a brief history of the ghost narrative motif in classical Chinese literature, arguing that this motif first appears in Chinese culture during the Shang Dynasty (16 c. - 1066 BC), and it is a recurring concept defined in the Book of Liezi and it is also present in the Daoist principle yin - yang. Despite the Confucian tradition of rejecting the belief in ghosts and any other metaphysical elements, ever since the Tang Dynasty (618 – 907) the literary motif of the ghost appears in the so-called fantastic stories chuanqi which will later influence the strange stories zhiguai written by Pu Songling (1640 - 1715), and will serve as inspiration for Guan Hanqing (1225 - 1302) when he writes the famous zaju play Snow in Midsummer. This paper is an aesthetic, hermeneutic and anthropological analysis of the concept of the wandering ghost or spirit in classical Chinese literature, starting from the evolution of the character gui 鬼 which means ghost in Chinese. I will observe the narrative role of the ghost in classical Chinese literature, using as representative examples literary works such as the chuanqi play The Peony Pavillion written by Tang Xianzu (1550 –1616), the strange story zhiguai, “Gongsun Jiuniang” by Pu Songling, and the zaju play, Snow in Midsummer, written by Guan Hanqing.","PeriodicalId":243248,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Linguistics, Literature and Culture","volume":"6 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132532145","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 paper explores the synergic alliance between the authors’ choice of methods or literary devices to reveal the audience how characters and themes affecting them cannot be disconnected.  The study hinges on a qualitative document analysis involving Ngugi’s novel A Grain of Wheat. Discussion was guided by three study questions concerning the place that narrative techniques hold among the fictional generic elements; the use of dramatic irony in A Grain of Wheat; and what can be learnt from that situation. Analysis revealed that dramatic irony is used in that novel to show the reader that people could be cautious to decide on heroes and traitors before the story conflict resolution. It was also confirmed that the interface between elements of literature cannot be doubted.","PeriodicalId":243248,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Linguistics, Literature and Culture","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126314919","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}

In addition, teaching materials about the text of the Sasak literary genre are presented in Indonesian, not in Sasak; the amount of literature both in the form of fiction and poetry and others is still very limited. The limited material about literary genre texts has the consequence that learning about literary texts does not receive adequate attention. Based on these problems, this paper aims to discuss the text of the genre of folk literature in the Sasak language in terms of text structure, linguistic tools, and community values contained in it. Learning based on literary genre texts will support language skills and can help children understand the value and beauty of Sasak literature. The results of the study of literary genre texts are expected to help teachers prepare teaching materials for local content in the Sasak language.","PeriodicalId":243248,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Linguistics, Literature and Culture","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129914341","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}

The events take place in a Palestinian village called 'Hadiya ', which serves as a representative of all Palestine. The study proves that the writer emphasizes the Palestinian identity through the stories that he collected from people who lived through the three periods of occupation of Palestine: the Ottoman Empire, the British Mandate and Israel, but the main focus is on the Ottoman Period. Stylistically, the novel has a special printing style. The oral stories are typed in italics in order to distinguish them from written stories. To investigate the information in the people's quoted stories, the events of the novel and the writer's arguments and his descriptions of the life of local Palestinians, the study relies on Paul Hamilton's theory of historicism , which is a critical way of using historical contexts to interpret narrative texts.","PeriodicalId":243248,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Linguistics, Literature and Culture","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134588435","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}

Theoretical and methodological problems associated with mastering any non-native language are especially acute when we are dealing not with the first, but with the second, third, etc. non-native language.

The article examines the pragmatic direction, communicative purpose, frequency of use of non-literary elements in the correspondence of individuals aged 17-27 on average, and concludes. A survey was also conducted among school-age students to study the influence of the family environment on the use of non-literal lexical elements in a child’s speech. The nature of the use of non-verbal elements in personal correspondence depends on neurological, psychological, and sociological factors. Unethical behavior can also be related to a person's emotional state. Some personal correspondence uses obscene lexical elements, some positive and some negative.
