The document provides lesson aims and questions for students to consider how two poems by Tony Harrison, "National Trust" and "Them and Uz", represent the class divide between the wealthy and working classes. Students are asked to analyze how Harrison uses language and structure to portray this divide and to what extent Marxist ideology is present in describing the exploitation of the lower classes. Groups are instructed to collate their research on these poems and topics.National trust 3

This poem explores issues of class, language, and power through the speaker's experience in school. In 3 sentences:
The speaker recalls being told by teachers that his regional dialect was improper and being forced to adopt Received Pronunciation; however, he later rejects this imposition and reclaims his own voice and identity, using his home language and name. The poem examines how education can shape one's relationship to language and reinforce social hierarchies based on class and accent.National trust structure

Tony Harrison's poem "The School of Eloquence" uses its structure and form to convey meaning from a Marxist perspective. The poem is written in a 16-line sonnet form to suggest the oppression of the proletariat through its constraints. Elements like rhyme and meter are used to comment on the silencing of workers' language and the killing of the dialects they spoke. By choosing a less common sonnet form, Harrison distances himself from the literary establishment while still demonstrating his command of form and language.Cultural studies barker & jane ch3

This chapter discusses the linguistic turn in cultural studies and its focus on how culture, meaning, and knowledge are constructed through language and sign systems. It covers topics like Saussure's semiotics, Barthes' mythology, Derrida's deconstruction and differance, Foucault's discourse and power, Lacan's psychoanalysis, Wittgenstein's language games, and the relationship between discourse and materiality. The chapter traces the development of poststructuralist and postmodernist approaches to understanding culture through an analysis of language and signification.Lies My Teacher Told me, Chapters 5-8

This document summarizes and asks questions about chapters 5-8 from Loewen's book which examine the portrayal of topics like slavery, John Brown, Abraham Lincoln, social class, and business influence in history textbooks from 1890 to 1970. It notes how textbooks often left out or misrepresented these topics. Ethnocentrism and an "Americentric" viewpoint are suggested to have played a role in these omissions and representations. Questions are asked about whether the textbook writings themselves showed bias and integrated ideas of race adequately or took a postmodern approach.2015 Banned Books Week

Banned Books Week is an annual event that celebrates the freedom to read and highlights the harms of censorship. It draws attention to actual or attempted book bans in the US. Many books have been banned or challenged over the years for topics like sexuality, offensive language, violence, political or religious views, and other controversial issues. Banning restricts access and censorship, while challenges invite discussion but still attempt to restrict materials. Famous novels that have been banned or challenged include The Catcher in the Rye, 1984, Lord of the Flies, and To Kill a Mockingbird.karishma Iqbal Presentation

Benjamin Lee Whorf was an American linguist who studied the relationship between language, thought, and culture. He believed that the structure of people's native language shaped how they viewed and understood the world. Whorf studied Maya and Aztec languages and developed the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis along with Edward Sapir. The hypothesis proposes that the language people speak determines or influences how they think. Whorf believed language influences culture and thought, and that differences in languages lead to differences in cultures and human cognition. His work laid the foundations for the field of ethnolinguistics, which examines the relationship between language and culture in different ethnic groups.The case of african american english

This presentation focuses on the links between place, song, and language in Tibet, examining how social diversity is represented in musical constructions of place, and how this impacts on the maintenance of that diversity specifically, linguistic diversity in Tibet. I take as my starting point the observation that Tibet is linguistically diverse, but culturally integrated, and that song played a crucial role in this integration. Many speakers of non-Tibetic minority languages across the plateau traditionally sang in Tibetan, giving the language the status of what I call a singua franca a sung, rather than spoken, common language. Lyrics in traditional Tibetan songs expressed visions of place and space that described, and ascribed positive value to, linguistic and other forms of social diversity in Tibet. These visions of place, encoded in song, and reproduced amongst Tibets diverse populations, including its linguistic minorities, were part of a broader ideological environment of banal cosmopolitanism in pre-modern Tibet. Since the late twentieth century, however, the lyrics of Tibetan songs began to imagine space and place in terms of a national geobody - a bounded, internally homogenous unit populated by people that speak the same language, share a common history (of descent), and share the same identity. Importantly, language - the Tibetan language - is portrayed as the soul or life-force of this geobody. This new expression of place in song, focused on a national geobody enlivened by a single language, is part of a pervasive environment of banal nationalism in Tibet that has placed Tibets linguistic minorities under significant assimilatory pressure. Now, instead of singing themselves into a place within the diverse Tibetan world, Tibets linguistic minorities are singing their own alienation from the national geobody. The regions singua franca has lost its function as a shared medium of exchange between diverse peoples, and has instead become a shibboleth for national belonging and boundary marking. In tracking this change, I will explore how visions of place in song contribute to the maintenance or suppression of linguistic and other forms of social diversity. Language & gender presentation

This document discusses gender in language from several perspectives. It begins by differentiating the terms "sex" and "gender" in sociolinguistics, noting that "sex" refers to biological distinctions while "gender" refers to social or constructed identities. It then examines the Whorfian hypothesis that language shapes thought using examples of how speakers of languages with grammatical gender describe objects differently based on gender. Several languages, including English, French, Spanish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish, Japanese, and the constructed language Novial are analyzed for their use of gendered pronouns and how they include or distinguish gender.The Quality of Writing in Blog-Based Fanfiction for Language Learning

1) Research has found differences in the language used by men and women, with women using more hedges, tag questions, and precise language that expresses uncertainty.
2) According to Robin Lakoff, women use both hedging and boosting language devices to lack confidence, with hedges expressing uncertainty and boosters trying to persuade others.
3) Studies have shown that in cross-sex interactions, men frequently interrupt women but women less frequently interrupt men, and men tend to dominate conversations more.03.405.bhatt.maulik

Manegacha is one of Tibets approximately sixty minority languages and is spoken by several thousand Tibetans living in four villages on the northeast Tibetan Plateau. Fieldwork conducted in early 2016 has confirmed earlier anecdotal evidence that the Manegacha-speaking community is currently shifting to Tibetan. Although this shift is taking place in all four villages, it is particularly pronounced in one community, where the majority of families have ceased speaking Manegacha to their children. Why has this community ceased transmitting the language while others are, for the most part, continuing to maintain it? This presentation will examine this issue by drawing on interviews with Manegacha-speakers in which they expressed language ideologies about ethnicity, community, and appropriate language use. Members in all Manegacha-speaking communities expressed language ideologies that are both amenable and hostile towards continued intergenerational language transmission. Not only are supportive and non-supportive ideologies expressed in all communities, they are also often expressed concurrently by the same individuals. In light of these persistent contradictions, I argue that the crucial difference leading to language shift in some Manegacha-speaking communities is the existence of social mobilization; language shift occurs when a community mobilizes around ideologies that undermine the language, not simply when such ideologies are present in the community, or even when they are strongly held. I therefore argue that understanding social mobilization, and its capacity to translate ideology into policy, is crucial for understanding language maintenance and shift. sociolinguistic

This document discusses the linguistic diversity and revitalization efforts in Tibet. It notes that Tibet has a complex linguistic ecology, with Putonghua, Tibetan varieties, and many minority languages. However, the promotion of Putonghua threatens these other languages. While Tibetan revitalization efforts have increased the status and role of the Tibetan language, they may be devitalizing local Tibetan varieties and minority languages. The dynamics of revitalization and devitalization are complex. Unrecognized minority languages face the highest risks and lowest chances of revitalization.Ethniclit2012

Strategies to Fuel the Energy WorkforceEric Wilkinson

The energy industry faces a severe talent shortage due to a "double squeeze" - many current workers are retiring while the education system is not producing enough skilled new entrants. This is exacerbated by rapid technological changes. As a result, companies may not have sufficient skilled workers to capitalize on investments and growth opportunities despite billions being invested in new technologies and capacity expansion. The talent shortage could significantly impact the industry's ability to meet rising global energy demand and maximize economic potential.

This document summarizes key elements and themes from Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot. It discusses how:
1) The play presents a logical problem as the two main characters do not remember what they did the day before and fail to recognize their surroundings.
2) Nothing new happens in Act II as scenes repeat themselves and the characters suffer from memory loss, unaware of the repetition.
3) The tramps try to stay occupied by engaging in trivial activities and conversations to pass the time but ultimately remain in the same place.
4) They are codependent on each other for company to endure their meaningless existence.
5) The play emphasizes how waiting is a universal human experienceFrankenstein as a modern Prometheus
Frankenstein as a modern Prometheusbhavnabaraiya

Victor Frankenstein is likened to the titan Prometheus from Greek mythology. In the story, Prometheus steals fire from Mount Olympus to bring knowledge and enlightenment to mankind, and is punished severely as a result. Similarly, Victor becomes fascinated with electricity and the power to create life, leading to the creation of the monster which brings him inner torture and suffering that mirrors Prometheus' eternal punishment. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein novel is seen as mimicking the Prometheus myth.Literary Criticism

Identity is defined in relation to others and is legitimized through experience and representation rather than as a free or fixed concept.Charles dickens's contribution as a novelist
