...NARRATIVE THERAPY: 1. Focus of narrative Therapy: Narrative conversations are interactive and always in collaboration with the people consulting the therapist. Narrative therapy seeks to be a respectful, non-blaming approach to counselling and community work, which centres people as the experts in their own lives. It views problems as separate from people and assumes people have many skills, competencies, beliefs, values, commitments and abilities that will assist them to change their relationship with problems in their lives. Curiosity and a willingness to ask questions to which we genuinely don't know the answers are important principles of this work. There are many possible directions that any conversation can take (there is no single correct direction). The person consulting the therapist plays a significant part in determining the directions that are taken. It seems appropriate to begin any exploration of narrative therapy with a consideration of what is meant by the `narratives' or `stories' of our lives. 2. THE ROLE OF STORIES Narrative therapy is sometimes known as involving’re-authoring' or’re-storying' conversations. Stories are central to an understanding. Stories consist of: • events • linked in sequence • across time • according to a plot 3. LISTENING WITH AN OPEN MIND Social Constructionist Theories place an emphasis on listening to clients without judgment or blame, affirming and valuing them. Totalizing language is avoided.

...1. The object of Lexicology. The main lexicological problems. Lexicology is a branch of linguistics, the science of language. The term Lexicology is composed of two Greek morphemes: lexis meaning ‘word, phrase’ (hence lexicos ‘having to do with words’) and logos which denotes ‘learning, a department of knowledge’. Thus, the literal meaning of the term Lexiсolоgу is ‘the science of the word’. The literal meaning, however, gives only a general notion of the aims and the subject-matter of this branch of linguistic science. Lexicology as a branch of linguistics has its own aims and methods of scientific research, its basic task being a study and systematic description of vocabulary in respect to its origin, development and current use. Lexicology is concerned with words, variable word-groups, phraseological units, and with morphemes which make up words. Distinction is naturally made between General Lexicology and Special Lexicology. General Lexicology is part of General Linguistics; it is concerned with the study of vocabulary irrespective of the specific features of any particular language. Special Lexicology is the Lexicology of a particular language (e.g. English, Russian, etc.), i.e. the study and description of its vocabulary and vocabulary units, primarily words as the main units of language. Needless to say that every Special Lexicology is based on the principles worked out and laid down by General Lexicology, a general theory of vocabulary. There is also a close relationship...

... is 42” (Adams 1979). Of course we all know that the answers do not come quite so easily. Really, forget the answer; the question is what the meaning of life is. Man has asked this question for millennia, and we still search for it today. We have learned a lot in the last nine weeks about personality and how it develops within a person. We have analyzed those we love and ourselves as well. All of this research has led us to nothing but more questions. I believe it is up to the individual to find the purpose and meaning to their own lives. The last five years have brought many changes to my life. Career changes, starting college, becoming a Grandparent, and being diagnosed with a rheumatic disease, are the highlights to those changes. But to be brutally honest change has always been a significant part of my life, my whole life. One could say that change itself is a facet of my personality. I sometimes need change; I need to keep things fresh and new. I have often wondered if it would be better if there were no change at all, but I just do not see myself very happy with that. I am constantly evolving, constantly trying to have meaning, to make the difference. What this has done is given me a very successful search of the meaning of, me, and who I am. The best way to attribute the succession into my currant stage of my own development is by using the theory of constructs. It is my belief that it is my own cognitive style that has laid the path of how I construe the world around...

...of George H. Mead (1934), Charles H. Cooley (1902), W. I. Thomas (1931), and other pragmatists associated, primarily, with the University of Chicago in the early twentieth century. The central theme of symbolic interactionism is that human life is lived in the symbolic domain. Symbols are culturally derived social objects having shared meanings that are created and maintained in social interaction. Through language and communication, symbols provide the means by which reality is constructed. Reality is primarily a social product, and all that is humanly consequential—self, mind, society, culture—emerges from and is dependent on symbolic interactions for its existence. Even the physical environment is relevant to human conduct mainly as it is interpreted through symbolic systems. Importance of Meanings The label symbolic interactionism was coined by Herbert Blumer (1969), one of Mead's students. Blumer, who did much to shape this perspective, specified its three basic premises: (1) Humans act toward things on the basis of the meanings that things have for them; (2) the meanings of things derive from social interaction; and (3) these meanings are dependent on, and modified by, an interpretive process of the people who interact with one another. The focus here is on...

...of the major phenomenon of language change. Basically, semantic change deals with the change of the original meaning of a word as well as the development of a new word which is reflected in the way the words are being used. This paper mainly puts an insight to the major causes of semantic change as well as trace the traditional classification made by various scholars. According to Varshney, “The main factors responsible for semantic change are vagueness in meaning, loss of motivation, polysemy, ambiguous contexts and the structure of the vocabulary”. (p. 284). Over the passage of time, people use words in a new context. Hence the meanings of the words are changing gradually, often to the point that the new meaning is radically different from the original usage. For instance, the word ‘awful’ originally meant ‘awe-inspiring, filling someone with deep awe’, as in the awful majesty of the Creator. At some point it becomes something ‘extremely bad’, as in ‘an awfully bad performance’, but now the intensity of the expression has lessened and the word is now used informally to just mean ‘very bad’, as in an awful mess. Some words also change semantically, not in their original meanings but change in a way that they acquire additional meanings or are used...

The creation of the LIFEcar project was based on opportunities that had been generated by the current practices of the automotive industry. In times were combating global warming is a big issue Hugo identified that the long term future of the automotive industry was uncertain as it relied heavily on finite fossil fuels. Hugo identified a market opportunity that would take advantage of the current issues the automotive industry had by proposing a vehicle that did not depend entirely on the consumption of finite fossil fuels. The creation of the LIFEcar project was Hugo’s answer to clean transport and it seemed to be the way forward and future of automotive technology. With the concept of the LIFEcar project underway Hugo identified another potential market for Hydrogen fuel cell Car, one which he believed seemed to be a more ideological market and moved away from the development of a HFC sports car. Hugo identified that a more promising early market would be for HFC city-cars, this lead to the development of a second project the Hyrban city-car. The Hyrban city-car had similar technological aspects to those that were introduced in the LIFEcar project and therefore seems to just be a slight variation of the LIFEcar to allow it to enter another potential market. The development on the project structure for the LIFEcar project began with...
