I use the Swales and Feak’s (2012) language analysis feature to analyze the article called “Top marginal taxation and economic growth”. In this article, the writers mention that “This article aims at contributing to the ongoing debate by exploring the relationship between top marginal taxation on personal income and economic growth on a sample of 18 OECD countries over the period 196-2009” (Mailasi & Robert, 2018, p.2157). In this sentence, instead of using the first-person pronoun, the writers use “the article” as the subject. The writers want readers to focus more on their research than on themselves (Swales.J.M. & Feak, 2012). Because Accounting is a neutral subject. Accountants use objective data to persuade others. Therefore, accounting related articles need to have a more neutral attitude and try to avoid subjective assumptions. …show more content…
& Feak, 2012). Swales and Feak (2012) raise several methods to use the negative forms, which are “no”, “little”, “not…any” and “not...much”. In this sentence, “There is, however, little evidence that reverse causality could actually be an important driver of this article’s results” (Mailasi & Robert, 2018, p.2161). Although “little” and “not much” have the same meaning, the authors use “little” rather than “not…much” to make the expression more concise, because if the author use “little” it will only count one word (Swales.J.M. & Feak, 2012). Compared to not much, “little” also has a sense of profession. In my discipline, accounting scholars are required to use professional words in their writing. In brief, using this word could make accounting article become more concise, clear, and
Tattoos have recently become increasingly popular in youth, due to the hidden meanings and symbolism that they are endowed with. Helen Day’s opinionative blog entry, The Power of Ink, asserts that the significance of tattoos have diminished due to the fashionable aesthetics that tattoos project. A highly casual, yet acknowledging tone characterises her blog entry, which is predominantly catered to young Australian readers who are interested in receiving a tattoo. Accompanying her blog entry is a number of comments which both support and criticise the new phenomenon of tattoos. Poignantly complementing her article is an image of Ta Mako tattoos, a Maori form of body art, and the front cover of the written work “No tattoos before you’re
were largely time-constrained. Furthermore, we also used Luntz’s principle of simplicity when giving our presentation as we did not delve into the minutia of most of the issues, opting instead for presenting a broad overview and the key findings which supported our proposition. In “Ten Rules of Effective Language” Luntz justifies his brevity claim by showing the number of successful brands that employ short, but memorable taglines such as Nike, Dell and 7-up. Luntz also provides evidence for his advice on using simplicity by stating that the majority of Americans have not graduate college and that, in general, the use of larger than necessary words elicits suspicion (Luntz, 2007). In our presentation’s strategy therefore, we attempted to take
In the essay “A Language All Their Own,” Nathan Salha (2011) claimed that trademarks should be used “only to protect intellectual invention and the reputations of associated companies,” and Salha wrote that trademarked slogans only exist to regulate the usage of creative slogans among businesses and that they do not limit the freedom of speech (p. 476). Furthermore, Salha (2011) argued that trademarked slogans protect businesses and promote competition by allowing each business to customize its advertisements and distinguish its product from the products of its competitors with clever slogans (p. 477). Moreover, Salha (2011) asserted that trademarked slogans protect consumers by allowing consumers to distinguish high-quality products, which
Staff handle things fast and it all around seems like a happy staff-team to be apart. I have been wanting be staff again because I miss the old days of being staff on other server's and just handling things correctly and doing my job. I never abuse which is always a common issue with some servers but doesn't seem to be a major one on this server. I do watch 2 of the server's youtuber's which is the Owner and MackemYT which is an old friend of mines ''I am zak mackem if you are reading this'' sorry but I had to say that. Anyway's this server seems like a good place for me to handle my staff duties on and play on basically. I like to make my applications original so if somethings arent things you hear on the daily it's because i'm diffrent yea i'm diffrent. I honestly think being apart of the team I can help out a lot of people because I am usually in the teamspeak at all times and on the server when I can be on the server. I know being staff is a lot of responsibility and there is some drama involved at some points but I do not like to get my self into the drama I rather just continue working and trying to get those promotions! Being staff can be difficult some times because of the amount of issues that go on at once but I can help out with that along with
When I have discovered the ItsJerryandHarry Youtube channel, I noticed in one of their videos that they had a server. So I joined the server, started to play the minigames the server had, then got addicted to the server. This was about 1 and a half years ago.
. What narrative structure does the author use to tell the story? John Boyne uses imagery in his book.
Richard Van Camp's, The Lesser Blessed, contains elements that classify the novel with both Indigenous and Modern genres. Featuring both genres in a text can lead to contradicting themes that form a binary. This binary has the potential to limit the extent readers can connect to the story, suggesting the presence of a barrier. Barriers hinder the readers' lack of understanding or relatability to either Indigenous or Modern works of literature. This paper will serve to analyze how Richard Van Camp deconstructs the binary by having the sides work together rather than against one another. Furthermore, this paper will discuss how by breaking down the binary, Richard Van Camp is allowing his novel to be accessible to all readers.
In the editorial “Fighting Words: The War Over Language” By Jon Hooten , he’s argument is that war can be a terrible thing to have and to experience. Through my eyes i see that war can change people due to all the terrible things they saw and some people out there don’t really know much of the affects of wars. He says “Those of us sitting in high school during the winter of 1991 watched the airstrikes on Baghdad through the glassy eyes of CNN, with Peter Arnett and Wolf Blitzer calling the play by play”. What he saying is that in our current century we don’t really have to experience war to be able to know of the affects of war due to the news
The one technique I am not understanding is the using simple coloring to help solve sudoku puzzles. From my understanding, one does not even use colors; rather, the colors are inferred. I somewhat understand the use of pluses and minuses because they creates “chain.” For example, there’s one plus that’s in the same row as a minus, and then that minus is in the same column as a plus and so on, except I’m not understanding where the plus in square f1 (in figure 12) came from, except that it might have something to do with the minus that is in the same grid (def123) as it. I’m not understanding why all the pluses and minuses in the figure are reliant on whether or not there is a one in f1. Then the author asked us to change all the pluses and minuses into black and white square, and I’m not sure that makes any difference or makes solving the puzzle any easier. Now the author is asking us to suppose the solution of a candidate in a square, and then it states that this candidate can occur outside the chain, and now I’m not understanding why we were creating the chain if it didn’t help us determine definite candidates.
The English dictionary is wrong. While it is factual in portraying the meaning of each word in the English language, it leaves out a profusion of information. For instance, dictionary.com describes the word “choice” as an act or instance of choosing or a selection. However, each choice a person composes holds more meaning in an entire life sense than this definition offers. In my opinion, there can be no right dictionary. No book or website can limit the meaning of a word to a single sentence or two. The meaning of any word is so powerful that it holds a separate definition to each person. Elie Wiesel was a Holocaust survivor and an influential figure to many individuals across the world. His words held strength and many people have a different
I felt the same way after reading the article. I'm also unsure as to how similarities would play a part in swaying another person’s point of view. However, when discussing the example you provided, similarities seem rather imperative to the quality and overall relatability of the conversation. If a man tried to act like he could relate to me from a female perspective, I’m sure I would laugh initially out of sheer disbelief, if I ever come across a man that has the audacity to speak on a subject in which they’ve had absolutely no firsthand experience, I would undoubtedly discontinue the conversation because at that point nothing good could come of it.
Welty’s language conveys the intensity and values of her experiences in many ways. Eudora Welty states that she had a very strict librarian named Mrs. Calloway, the paragraph states that those who grew up with her feared her. Next, in the second paragraph it states that if you were a girl, she would send you home if she could see through the skirt.
In this paper we analyse two Australian television programs, Marking Time (2003) and Molly & Mobarak (2004), foregrounding the ways in which ethnic Hazara refugees from Afghanistan have been (re)presented. We argue that by minimising cultural and religious differences both Marking Time and Molly & Mobarak construct and represent Hazara Afghan refugees as like a “certain us”, that is, as members of Australian core culture who are
Have to is a non-modal alternative to the modal verb must to talk about obligation.
Best known for his work on genre analysis, John Swales, a linguist, has been greatly influential on academic English. His work on discourse communities has helped to greatly define and analyze the way in which unique communities may operate and exchange information. Discourse Communities are, as defined by Swales, groups that have common goals or purposes, and use communication to achieve these goals. What is particularly influential about his writing on his topic is in his description of six shared characteristics of these specific groups, which can be used to place a variety of disciplines and subdisciplines into several categories based on shared language, terminology, and informational exchange. The multidisciplinary field of education, for example, can be broken up into various subcategories according to these six characteristics. Secondary education becomes a discourse community when a specific amount of education is needed in order to teach students ages 11-18 in the first place: Training for those who wish to teach at the high school level involves completing at least a bachelor’s degree program for secondary education and meet state licensing requirements at bare minimum. Aspiring teachers may also specialize in a particular subject they wish to teach, a fact that separates secondary from primary education as elementary school teachers will often teach a small amount from a variety of subjects to their students. According to Swales, discourse communities can define
