Archaisms and historisms

Archetypes deprives from the Greek root word archein which means “original”, and typos which means “pattern or type”. Archein and typos combined means “original pattern.” A psychologist named Carl Gustav Jung used archetypes to support his theory of human psyche. Jung believed that archetypes are present in the human subconscious, and can invoke dynamic emotions (Golden). The twelve common archetypes

The examples the author gives in order to back up his thesis, as he puts it, contain at least one of the following four terms: “dying metaphors, operators or verbal false limbs, pretentious

An archetype is a very typical example of a certain person or thing and is used to primarily convey the idea of the authors point. In “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?”, written by Carol Joyce Oates, she uses various types of examples using archetypes to prove the different characters and their situations in their specific life environment. The short story “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” , is about an innocent 15 year old girl Connie who has a normal teenage life until a strange older guy Arnold tries to enter her life.

     An archetype is a universal symbol. It is also a term from the criticism that accepts Jung’s idea of recurring patterns of situation, character, or symbol existing universally and instinctively in the collective unconscious of man.

Gaddis wrote, The Landscape of History: How Historians Map the Past, to inform audiences why a historical consciousness should matter to us today. He used knowledge from past historians to portray the method that historical writings represent what cannot replicate. Gaddis worked to describe historical consciousness using visual imagery to express metaphors because science, history, and art all depend on metaphors. The past is something we can never have and through metaphors and representation, Gaddis accurately illustrates the meaning of a historian and how history cannot relive, retrieve or rerun but can only represent it.

2. What is an archetype? An archetype is something or a figure that typically explains a person or thing.

This address as mentioned before, deals with the notion that they should abandon their mother tongue and replace it with English as their primary language. From my perspective, I believe that the people at that time in general would be offended due to the fact, that they can’t instill knowledge of their own heritage and must cope with the law. This document benefitted us in a way that it helped us reflect upon the of acceptance of language not solely as a means of communication but, value our

Mr. McWhorter exemplifies that with people using the abbreviation "LOL" (laugh out loud). While at first the meaning was intended to just mean laugh out loud, it has taken a more generalized approach in it's use today. He states that "LOL" is much more used to express empathy to the person receiving, and not so much it's prior definition. He provides examples to show how words change over time as in silly meaning blessed in the past. Other words that have changed are gay (happy), bitch (female dog), and awful (to

Languages are always changing and evolving. The English language itself is full of words from other languages.

An archetype is a recurrent symbol or motif in literature. There are situational archetypes and character archetypes. I am going to be talking about the situational archetype Quest and the character archetype the Initiate. The Initiate is the underdog of the story, the hero that has to go through a little training. The Quest is a search for someone or something. Author Ingrid Law uses these two archetypes in the novel Savvy.

These are some of the questions that come up when I saw the Ted Talk “What makes a word ‘real’?” by Anne Curzan. Due to new generations, society have been using words or phrases that many elders would find it as degrading the English language. As new generations come, older generations would disapprove on how the English language is being used.

An archetype is an original model of a person or ideal example which can be copied by others. It is a symbol that can universally be recognized (The Writing). The archetype of being or having a mentor is well known in many situations and pieces of art. A mentor is a wise and trusted counselor, teacher, or adviser who can be a part of one’s life and experiences (Mentor). They are trustworthy and known for giving wise advice when come to with a problems. Mentors are also those who inspire and teach others while getting nothing in return. The only benefit for themselves is knowing that they were helping others. They do their work only to benefit the ones who truly need the guidance. Many mentors have six words that

In an ever changing world we have seen the number and complexity of languages become reduced. In a Wall Street Journal article entitled What the World Will Speak in 2115, John H. McWhorter advocates for the world to see these changes as necessary and a way for communication worldwide to become more efficient and simplified. McWhorter shows how language has been streamlined for centuries as a way for citizens to adapt rather than viewed as an extinction of culture. Modern English is likely to become the dominant language worldwide but more so for the fact that it can be easily learned and is open to transformation with the times. Despite the fears of a world where lingual diversity is reduced, McWhorter suggests that there will still be variation to promote culture and communication with people from all backgrounds will be easier. The following is a summary and analysis of McWhorter’s main points describing the simplification of language. Following the summary of main points will be a hypothetical situation in what the world language could consist of 100 years from now.

The formulation of the archetypes is described as an empirically derived concept, like that of the atom; it is a concept based not only on medical evidence but on observations of mythical, religious and literary phenomena, these archetypes are considered to be primordial images, spontaneous products of the psyche which do not reflect any physical process, but are reflected in them (Jung 54).
