References………………………………………………………………………………………….. Introduction The following paper is devoted to the theme “Divergences in the semantic structure of words”. The semantic structure of words presents a complicated problem .The only exceptions are some groups of monosemantic words. Divergences in the semantic structure of words of the Sourse and Target languages are one of the primary cases of lexical transformations. These divergences are connected with certain peculiar features of a word or a group of words. Even words which seem to have the same meaning in the two languages are not semantically identical. The primary meanings of correlated words often coincide while their derivative meanings do not. Thus there is only partial correspondence in the structures of polysemantic words as their lexical semantic variants do not cover one another. Semantic correlation is not to be interpreted as semantic...

...Penmanship is an art that is slowly dying at the hands of technology. It’s truly unfortunate that current generations and those to come don’t and won’t realize the immense importance of the art of writing by hand. This phenomenon runs parallel to the proliferation of computers in the home, classroom, and everyday lives of people. It is all too common for a senior in high school to not know how to write in cursive or be confused by the thought of comprising sentences in a manner that inspires the feelings embedded in the message without having to read the message itself. The art of penmanship isn’t just drawing shapes and lines to form letters and words to be interpreted once read, but to let corresponding passion manifest in the style in which the words themselves are being written. Most of today’s generations and those to come will only know how to compose an email or a memo. Albeit both mediums share the exact same outcome, a message sent, received, and handled accordingly, there are differences in the two that may not be as obvious to those who feel indifferent about the matter than to someone who has a passion for words, writing, and the myriad of emotions invoked by their content and construction. There’s a beauty to behold in a love letter, intensely felt by the heart, carefully thought by the brain, and meticulously crafted by the hand, meant to touch the heart and soul of the receiver. There’s also a satisfaction in appreciating the beauty of not only the message contained...

...answers and produce no gracious results. They are vain performances, and others recognize their emptiness and barren results. Men hear of the prodigious benefits secured by prayer, of the matchless good promised in God’s word to prayer, and they mark at once the great gulf between the results promised and results realized… Prayerless praying lacks the essential element of true praying; it is not based on desire and is devoid of earnestness and faith. Desire burdens the chariot of prayer, and faith drives its sense of need; there is no ardency because there is no vision, strength, or glow of faith. There is no mighty pressure to pray, no holding on to God with the relentless, despairing grasp, “I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.” There is no utter self-abandon, lost in the throes of a desperate, pertinacious, and consuming plea, “Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book,” or, “give me Scotland or I die.” Prayerless praying stakes nothing on the issue, for it has nothing to stake. It comes with empty hands, indeed, but they are listless hands as well as empty. They have never learned the lesson of empty hands clinging to the cross; this lesson to them has no form or comeliness. Prayerless praying has no heart in its praying. The...

...showcase that this poem shows how different sound devices contribute to the meaning of this poem. In “The Tyger” William Blake essentially questions god and his nature, using the tiger as the grounds for his examination. In the first quatrain, the line "what immortal hand or eye could frame thy fearful symmetry?" refers to why god would create such a creature both good and evil? This poem has a heavy rhyme scheme and consists of the last words in two consecutive lines rhyming. For Example, William Blake writes “And what shoulder, and what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart, And when thy heart began to beat, what dread hand? And what dread feet?” The meter is regular throughout the poem and every end syllable is stressed which gives it a consistent rhythm. The rhyme pattern and the meter also give the poem a rhythmic beat, which almost sounds like a heart beating This poem also distributes alliteration. Alliteration sates that in a poem there is a repetition of a certain letter. In this case the author writes “Tyger Tyger! Burning bright” and also “In what distant deeps or skies” the caesura used between these words and the alliteration ties them together thus making readers pay more attention to the words written in the poem. Assonance is used in this poem as well to emphasize the greatness of God such as in “twist the sinews”. There are two different sounds in the poem. By using poetic devices he further develops the questions about the natures of God. Another example...

INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND INFORMATION: It has been found that there may be a correlation between physical activity and puzzle proficiency. Exercise increases circulation which can have large effects on learning ability. A study published in 2007 by the Medical College of Georgia discovered that after 15 weeks of regular exercise, test scores improved significantly over pre-trial results. One explanation for this could be due to the impact that exercise has on the brain. Study results published in “Health Psychology” in 2011, found patterns of brain activity when exercising in the pre-frontal cortex, which is responsible for functions such as problem-solving and complex thoughts. I have come to a stage in my schooling where I don't have compulsory P.E lessons anymore and I was questioning whether I should continue with doing after-school sport, and whether it would actually be improving my academic...

...Once Upon A Time Once Upon a Time by Gabriel Okara Once upon a time, son, they used to laugh with their hearts and laugh with their eyes: but now they only laugh with their teeth, while their ice-block-cold eyes search behind my shadow. There was a time indeed they used to shake hands with their hearts: but that’s gone, son. Now they shake hands without hearts while their left hands search my empty pockets. ‘Feel at home!’ ‘Come again’: they say, and when I come again and feel at home, once, twice, there will be no thrice- for then I find doors shut on me. So I have learned many things, son. I have learned to wear many faces like dresses – homeface, officeface, streetface, hostface, cocktailface, with all their conforming smiles like a fixed portrait smile. And I have learned too to laugh with only my teeth and shake hands without my heart. I have also learned to say,’Goodbye’, when I mean ‘Good-riddance’: to say ‘Glad to meet you’, without being glad; and to say ‘It’s been nice talking to you’, after being bored. But believe me, son. I want to be what I used to be when I was like you. I want to unlearn all these muting things. Most of all, I want to relearn how to laugh, for my laugh in the mirror shows only my teeth like a snake’s bare fangs! So show me, son, how to laugh; show me how I used to laugh and smile once upon a time when I was like you. BIOGRAPHY- Gabriel Imomtimi Gbaingbain Okara, the son of an Ijọ chief...

...The ‘your face blanked like a page of erased words’, means the speaker is directly referencing a certain person by the use of ‘your’. A page that was erased once had words on it, the words could be a reference to happiness or personality, this shows that quarreling can cause one to lose themselves and who they are, or the feelings they used to have. ‘my hands squeezed themselves,’ the tightness and stress is exaggerated, hyperbole used to give reader the understanding of how hard the hands were squeezing. The hurt is expressed by ‘burned like verbs’, that being burned is very painful, and ‘verbs’ is an action. This shows that the physical pain from squeezing the hands was just as painful as the actions of the situation. In the last sentence, it is the finale to effect of rowing or quarreling. ‘love turned, and ran, and cowered in our heads’, this suggests that fighting caused the couple to lose their love, that they wanted to love but the mixture of aggression, dejection, and belligerence of the two caused them to fear to love the other; this is known by the word ‘cowered’. The love is there, but too afraid or not brave enough to come out as the victor in the situation. The writer effectively showed the effects of quarreling by combining all the feelings that go on throughout, expressing these...

...The word “hand” correlates with the theme of guilt throughout the play. After the murder of King Duncan, both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are overwhelmed with guilt. The first example of guilt through “hand” is when Macbeth begins to hallucinate before he is signaled to go kill Duncan. Macbeth says “Is this a dagger which I see before me, the handle toward my hand?”(2.1.44-45). Macbeth reaches for the dagger with his hand in the same which he motioned when killing the king. After the murder, Lady Macbeth urges Macbeth to wash his hands of the killing. Lady Macbeth says “Go get some water and wash this filthy witness from your hand.”(2.2.60-61). Macbeth is paranoid about the noise he hears in the second chamber, but Lady Macbeth assures him it was nothing and he needs to go wash his hands to clear his mind of the act he committed, and erase the guilt. Macbeth replies to...

...Boom. Hands shaking. Boom. Boom, boom: the blood pulses around Bella’s body like a drum, beating to the rhythm of her heart. Her heart, what an odd thing, no longer whole but no longer broken. With every thought her heart and brain compete for the coveted trophy. It’s hard to say who won, for now both heart and brain lie wounded in the battlefield of her body. Let’s agree to call it a mutual defeat. She looks directly ahead of her, focusing her eyes on the clock that, when struck 10, would announce her fate. The emotionless expression on her face would’ve been enough to convince anyone that there was no spirit – no person, no soul – inhabiting her body. A body without a passenger. Because now not only was...

...only as a response to Martin Luther King Jr.’s pacifism, but because he was frustrated with white dilly-dallying in reaching a decision on black rights in America. Political debate had reached an impasse, and Malcolm wanted to make it clear that if the Congress couldn’t come to a decision, black Americans would take matters into their own hands. He did not share Martin’s pacifist inclinations, and he promised a violent seizure of civil rights. An examination of Malcolm X’s speech will reveal that it is one of the most powerful speeches ever written. It is, in every respect, the equal of Martin’s “I Have a Dream” speech. It is eloquent, it is memorable, and it is poetic. Its tone, unlike Martin’s conciliatory speech, is militant. He appeals to the emotions of his young audience, rousing them to anger; and in the same breath, strikes fear into the hearts of his white listeners. Malcolm uses several methods to rouse his black audience to anger. One of his main methods, echoing Martin’s own, is repetition. Whereas Martin repeated the phrase “I have a dream,” Malcolm repeats the words “I am not . . .” The audience echoes these words to itself. The repetition, like the refrain of a hymn, becomes the catch phrase of...
