...The morphology and semantics of Filipino Language spoken by the youth today lingo in Angono, Binangonan, Taytay and Cainta. Related Literature The number of homosexuals in the Philippines continuous to grow and they are in the mainstream of about almost everything. Gays are creative and talented. Even the language that they are using cannot be simply overlooked at. Using their creativity and wit, they were able to make the language much more colorful and meaningful. Now a days, gay lingo is no longer exclusive to homosexuals but slowly accepted by the Philippine Community. Yes, it has been accepted in the past recent years. In the talk show ‘Katok mga Misis!’ of Giovanni Calvo and Ali Sotto. On their segment ‘word of the day’ they feature a gay word which became a household word in the Eighties. The coining of the word ‘badaf’ which means babae dafat and ma at pa for the contracted malay ko at pakialam ko (Ladlad 2, pp.42, 23). Another example of variety show which showcase our openness for the Homosexual is ‘It’s ShowTime’ in ABS-CBN, with one of the hosts, Vice Ganda. (https://ph.news.yahoo.com/vice-ganda-slang-dictionary-083641238.html) There is his invention of distinct and initially perplexing words to add to the "gay lingo." These have eventually been picked up not only by other stars themselves but also by normal Netizens and rabid showbiz fans in their daily conversations. Sample words are: “Shunga" While it has been a term that's already been widely used long...

...Linguistics Assessment of a Young Child’s Language Melissa Ozuna California State University, Los Angeles Questions: 1, 5, 7, 8, 12 The Linguistic Assessment of a Young Child’s Language Introduction “The child begins to perceive the world not only through his eyes but also through his speech.” Like Lev Vygotsky, Holmes speaks about one of the everyday behavior we use and that’s language. Communication is done by engaging our brains and bodies to make sounds and transfer one person’s thoughts to another. No matter how many languages there are, language can still be broken down into the same building blocks of communication. Specifically, linguistics is analyzed with one of the smallest building blocks like phonology, to lexicon, to syntax, to morphology, and communicative competence. Just how small these building blocks of linguistics come together at its own pace, is exactly how small it is to learn language. Language learning can be done at its own pace, but with the help of assessments there are common turning points, procedures, and phases one can follow to truly understand an individual’s language development over time. Method Participants Rita is a 3 year and two month old female. She is the second child of the family living under the roof with both parents. Father works at a Police station and mother’s occupation is at a office profession. From her beginning till her present days she has spoken 100% English. Procedure The interview was conducted in the living room/ kitchen...

...Morphological typology refers to the nomenclature of the method used to classify languages depending on the way in which their morphemes are joined together. In one side of the spectrum we can find analytic languages, which only use isolated morphemes. Then we would have agglutinative languages and fusional languages which use bound morphemes, melting them together in order to convey several meanings. Located on the other side of the spectrum are the so called polysynthetic languages, which compress lots of separate morphemes into single words. Nevertheless, before getting into depth in the morphological typology of languages, and also the patterns of word formation, it must be explained the core concept covered within this paper: the concept of word. Although it may seem simplistic, the study and analysis of this concept entails certain difficulty and may vary from one culture/language to another. Most scholars make a distinction between phonological and grammatical word as principal distinctions. A phonological word can be defined as a prosodic unit not smaller than a syllable (Aikhenvald). It is a string of sounds that behaves as a unit for certain kinds of phonological processes, especially stress and accent. Normally, it is not needed to make a distinction between these two types of words in utterances like linguistics or science. However, there are cases in which this differentiation arises as necessary. For example, in English every phonological word has a main...

...Why Do We Gesture When We Speak? Robert M. Krauss Columbia University This is a pre-editing version of a paper published as: Krauss, R.M. (1998). Why do we gesture when we speak? Current Directions in Psychological Science 7, 5459. CD.3 July 30, 2001 Why Do We Gesture When We Speak? Robert M. Krauss1 Columbia University Students of human nature traditionally have considered conversational gestures—unplanned, articulate hand movements that accompany spontaneous speech— to be a medium for conveying semantic information, the visual counterpart of words.2 Over a century ago, Sir Francis Bacon put the relationship of gesture and language in the form of a simple analogy: "As the tongue speaketh to the ear, so the gesture speaketh to the eye" (Bacon, 1891). Although the extent to which gestures serve a communicative function is presently a matter of some controversy,3 there is accumulating evidence that communication is not the only function such gestures serve. Over the past several years my colleagues and I have explored the hypothesis, casually suggested by a remarkably diverse group of writers over the past 60 years, that gestures help speakers formulate coherent speech by aiding in the retrieval of elusive words from lexical memory. How might gesturing affect lexical retrieval? Human memory employs several different formats to represent knowledge, and much of the content of 1Address correspondence to Robert M.

...the extract “in search of the perfect sausage” the contextual factors that may affect the language used are; the mode, the tenor, the field and the function. This extract is written to inform and entertain but in non-standard English. For example “stickyish” and “marmitey”. These show that the writer wants to write her account of her search in way that will relate to his readers also it shows that the text is informal as oppose to being formal. The mode of this text is written. The field of the text is to describe to someone what kind of sausage they see as their “perfect sausage” and they go into great detail about every little thing that needs to be considered when in search of the perfect sausage. There are a few interesting uses of morphology in this text. An example would be “coarsely”, this word is a free morpheme “coarse” attached to a bound morpheme “ly” to create the word “coarsely”. There are more than a few free morphemes within the text and no bound morphemes because a bound morpheme has to be attached to a free morpheme in order to make sense. I’m not sure whether this would be a correct morpheme or even if it is a correct use of a lexis but the word “stickyish” would be a free and bound morpheme attached; “sticky” and “ish”. The word stickyish means not really sticky but sticky enough and it is used in this field to describe a sausage. This text isn’t written in past tense but I wouldn’t say it was written in present tense either because he is describing what he would...

...Real-Time Hand Tracking for HumanComputer Interaction Ayush Tripathi, Kanishk Puri, Nilesh Srivastava, Prateek Dham (Students) Mrs S.S Dhotre(Professor) Computer Science Department Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University College of Engineering Pune, Maharashtra(India) Abstract- The proposed work is part of a project that aims for the control of a mouse based on hand gesture recognition. This goal implies the restriction of real-time response and unconstrained environments. This is basically a vision based skincolour segmentation method for moving hand in real time application [3]. This algorithm is based on three main steps: hand segmentation, hand tracking and gesture recognition from hand features. For the hand segmentation step we use the colour cue due to the characteristic colour values of human [1]. The hands are recognized by the computer using the skin colour as one of the basic features for the hand recognition. The important feature is the accurate segmentation of hands [3]. I. Introduction Nowadays, the majority of the human-computer interaction (HCI) is based on mechanical devices such as keyboards, mouse, joysticks or gamepads. In recent years there has been a growing interest in a class of methods based on computational vision due to its ability to recognise human gestures in a natural way .These methods use as input the images acquired from a camera or from a stereo pair of cameras. The main goal of these algorithms is to measure the hand configuration...

...The objectives of this research were to evaluate germination response of two Handroanthus species to varying conditions of temperature and substrate and to study its post-seminal morphology, showing normal and abnormal seedling patterns, to provide better ways for laboratory test interpretations. Both Bignoniaceae species, Handroanthus heptaphyllus Mattos and H. impetiginosus Mattos, are characterized by an arboreal habit and a remarkable flowering preceded by intense leaf fall at the beginning of the dry season. Because of the latter feature, they have been used as ornamental trees in urban afforestation (Lorenzi, 1992). Their green-brown wood is extremely heavy and hard. For restrictions on the use of chemically treated woods of temperate origin, some of this species (i.e. H. impetiginosus) are the most marketed Amazonian wood species in the USA (Schulze et al., 2008). Despite increasing commercial interest of timber companies, its species have been under severe threat because (i) the overexploitation of its timber forest product, (ii) severe fragmentation and habitat destruction where the species grows and (iii) the impacts of climate change (Nepstad et al. 2004; Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity, 2009). Both Handroanthus were indicated as prioritized tree species for genetic conservation initiatives in Brazil (FAO, 2012)....

...“Why Leaves Turn Colors In Fall” by Diane Ackerman really related the topic of leaves to people for me. I have always thought this though. Leaves start as small seeds, grow over time, and when it’s a certain time of year, they die off. They change colors as people changes moods. Also leaves are not all the same color. Some can be red, some can be yellow etc. Just like people, whether talking about color as race or color as in personality, everyone can relate. For example a red leaf could either represent an African American or someone who is angry or has a bad personality when a yellow leaf could represent someone who is lighter skinned, with a happy or mellow personality and a great attitude. Even reversed colors they could represent anyone. I felt that this reading was very informative in the science aspect. It goes very into detail on how leaves change scientifically from where colors come from to exactly what happens inside the leaf to make it fall off the tree. I am a biology major so it really was enjoyable to me to be able to read about the scientific aspect of the article yet also interpret it in my own way. I feel as if this article was written to not only inform people about the actual title but to make them think harder about it and turn it into something along the lines that I did. The author’s use of similes really helped me to turn this reading into what I wanted it to be and not what she was actually describing. Most of the things I read I ask questions throughout...

...Types of Flower Arrangement By: Mylene B. Bataanon BSTrm-II 1.)Horizontal Arrangements Using a relatively shallow container, anchor foam with a lot of glue or use anchor pins, and position sprays of line flowers to establish the shape of the design. Insert focal flowers in the middle so they gently droop over the lip of the container on both sides, reach towards the line material and extend on either side of the middle. Leave room for filler flowers. Fill in and around focal area with filler flowers and foliage. 2.)Vertical Arrangements Wedge or secure foam in a vase with hot glue. Cut the stems of the tallest flowers or leaves to reach three or four times the height of the vase. Place the focal flowers vertically within the diameter of the vase. Fill in the areas as needed with filler flowers. 3.)Triangular Arrangements Secure floral foam. Determine the vertical height and horizontal width with the smallest line flowers and/or leaves. Make the height higher than the width. Position the largest focal flowers in the heart of the arrangement and slightly lower to give weight and balance. Fill in with the filler flowers and foliage keeping within the triangular shape. 4.)Crescent Arrangements Secure foam in container. Determine length of crescent and insert curved line flowers or leaves to follow the crescent form. Angle the...

...Development of Nipa Palm Tart Introduction The Nipa palm has a short, mainly underground, horizontal trunk (from above ground it appears to have no trunk at all) and very large, erect leaves up to 9 meters (30 feet) tall. The leaves are divided into leaflets. A flowering head forms on a short erect stern that rises among the palm leaves. The flowers are globular shape with catkin-like red or yellow flowers on the lower branches. The flowers yield a woody nut arranged in a cluster. This fruiting (seed) head is dark brown and may be 30 centimeters (12 inches) in diameter. The ripe nuts separate from the cluster and float away. The nipa palm is one of the most important economic Philippine crops. It differs from most palm in the lack of an upright stem, trunkless, developing inflorescences at 1 meter height. The leaves are commonly use for thatching. Leaflets are used for making hats, baskets, mats, raincoats, wrappings for suman. The midribs are used for making brooms; the petioles for fuel. Nipa is a monoecious palm, with stout, subterranean, trunkless and thornless rootstock. Leaves are at the ends of the rootstocks, large, rosette and compound, 5 to 10 meters long, arising from the stout underground stem (rhizome). Leaflets are numerous, rigid, lanceolate, up to 1 meter long, 2 to 7 cm centimeters wide. Male inflorescence is brown, erect, up to 1 meter high. Female inflorescence is stout, 1 meter high or less. Fruit is globose, nodding, up to 30 centimeters in diameter...

...Plants, as we know, are just simple living organisms around us. Yes, we know that they grow, they reproduce, they go through photosynthesis, they produce oxygen, they produce fruits, they may have flowers, they serves as a home for other small creatures and so on… but we never knew that they travel and explore the world just like we what do. We also never really see how they grow from being a seed to a gigantic tree and it is amazing how technology and science combined can do As we watched The Private Life of Plants, it was like revealing the most kept secrets of different plants. It was nice to know how they survive in this cruel world. Just like the Bramble, it uses other animals, like the birds, to grow more of their kind. The bird will eat it’s fruit but eventually it will feel full so the bird will dig a hole on the ground and will keep the seed inside. In that way, the bird did not just ate the fruit of the Bramble but it also help the plant grow another of its kind. Lots of plants and trees were featured and each and one of them has different trait that is different from another but what really amazed me is how they travel… The Dandelion is a flower that lets it’s “parachute” to dance in the wind. The Liana is also an example which uses its airplane-wings-leaves to glide. Lots of things around us are simple beautiful in their own way but sadly, only few are appreciated by almost everyone.

...I propose that the total mass of all leaves that fall off of trees within the United States during a typical fall is 750 billion pounds. In order to answer this question, I considered the trees by my own house. The tree in my backyard is a large oak tree. Rather than attempt to approximate the number of leaves on the tree and the mass of one leaf, I considered how much a 13 gallon bag weighs when it is filled with leaves that have fallen off the tree. After raking the leaves, I do my best to fit as many leaves as possible into the bag, which means the leaves often crumble as I keep putting in more and more leaves. From my experience last fall, the bag weighs about 5 pounds. However, my estimate of the bag’s weight is based on perception; I know for certain that the bag is neither as light as two or three pounds nor as heavy as nine or ten pounds. Therefore, my best estimate of the weight of the bag is 5 pounds. Furthermore, when raking the leaves, I usually fill up three bags (I rake the leaves only once). As such, in one fall season, I collect about 15 pounds of leaves from a single tree. However, because the tree is large and it is often windy, I am certain that many leaves either fly off into the lake, a neighbor’s house, the roof, and/or the front yard. In addition, it seems implausible to assume that I fit all the tree’s leaves into three garbage bags. Therefore, I estimate that I am only able to collect about half of all the leaves. With this assumption, I conclude that...

...RC II-8 (4s and 5s) Providing your child with opportunities to "branch out" and make new friends can be a fun and rewarding way to grow important social skills. Materials: * Sky blue construction paper (your choice of size) * Green construction paper (enough to cut out one leaf per friend, plus enough for new friends to come) * Brown yarn * Liquid glue * Scissors * Felt tip marker for writing Directions: Provide a fun opportunity for your students to enjoy time together by "growing" individual Friend Trees. Begin by assisting each child in making a list of favorite friends, young and old. Use liquid glue to help each child trace a tree design onto a piece of blue paper. Before glue has time to dry, press brown yarn into the glue to outline or completely fill-in each tree trunk and branches. Allow glued yarn to dry. Use green paper to cut-out enough leaves for every name on each child's list, plus some extra leaves for future friends. Write one name on each leaf. Then glue leaves on the lower branches, working up and out. Keep supplies handy so each child can continue adding new friends until the Friend Trees are fully grown. Tip: Cut-out a heart design for tree leaves. Talk about It: Ask them to share characteristics that make a friend fun to play with. Then think about ways new friends can get to know each other better like playing games, cooking, and watching cartoons. Share ideas about how friends can show each other they...

...The two works that will be compared and contrasted in this paper will be “A Raisin in the Sun” and “The House on Mango Street.” “A Raisin in the Sun” gives insight to the lives of the members of the Younger Family who will inherit a check for $10,000 from Mr. Younger’s Life Insurance. Each member of the family has a different idea of what to spend the money on, two of the members of the family, Mama and Ruth, both want to use the money to move into a new house. Walter Younger wants to use the money to open up a liquor store with his friends that he believes will help solve the family’s financial problems forever. Walter’s Sister Beneatha, wants to use the money to help pay for her school tuition as she is going to medical school. The play revolves around each member making choices and having to deal with the outcome, or consequences of their actions. For Example, Mama uses half the money to buy a new house for the family to live in, in an all-white neighborhood. This causes the neighborhood to send Mr. Linder, their representative, to negotiate with the Younger’s and convince them to not move into the neighborhood by bribing them with money. The Younger’s then refuse this deal and move in anyway even through all of the racial prejudice. Another Example would be Walter, using his share of the money, along with Beneatha’s to invest in the liquor store. But when he does, he finds out that the person he is investing with has run away with all of his money leaving him with nothing...
