    The point of literature Personally, I think the point of literature is entirely subjective. Even the definition of literature can be interpreted differently. In class just now, it was defined as written works with artistic value, which I agree with to some extent, but then again, what does and doesn’t constitute as artistically valuable is also subjective. I feel like I’m on a fast-track to my history and philosophy class here, being all like “everything is subjective, nothing is real”. The point

    The linguistic aspect of the discussion, however, focuses on the potential interrelation and interaction of concepts and language. It is obvious that language influences thought and vice versa, but the question is to what degree and how. Certainly, the most notable position that should be mentioned here is the controversial Sapir-Whorf hypothesis which has been subjected to many objections in linguistic circles. The theory’s general principle was first proposed by Edward Sapir in his essay ‘’The

    diversity of the world’s languages and cultures. The tradition was taken up by the American linguist and anthropologist Edward Sapir (1884-1939) and his pupil Benjamin Lee Whorf (1897-1941), and resulted in a view about the relation between language and thought which was widely influential in the middle decades of this century. The “Sapir-Whorf hypothesis,” as it came to be called, combines two principles. The first is known as linguistic determinism: it states that language determines the

    The Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol targets the production of specific phonemes, then builds on these skills to elicit word-level productions and eventually conversational speech. In addition, SLPs utilize phonological processes to help the child produce target words. For example, if the target word is bubble, but the child is unable to spontaneously produce the word, the SLP can instruct the child to say /bub/, deleting the final consonant /l/ for easier production. As the child progresses,

    Language is a system of representation that enables us to encode and convey meaning through the production and combination of signs. (Neves, 2011) Multilingualism can, therefore, be described as a person’s capability to maintain and practice two or more languages in an environment. This concept is quite commonly seen throughout South Africa as there is a total of eleven official languages. These languages are critical in today’s youth as they are exposed to a culturally diverse society which enables

    Language and language use encompass a variety of ideas beyond just putting sounds together to make coherent thoughts. Language involves the theoretical aspects including elements of language, and for Christians, it also includes what a biblical view of language is and how that applies to those who speak differently than the majority. Language, as it is used in reading, writing, speaking, etc., is composed of five elements—phonology, morphology, syntax, pragmatics, and semantics. First, phonology

    In Kenneth Burkes essay “The Philosophy Of Literary Form” he looks at the differences between Semantic and Poetic language. One-way “semantic ideas” are seen, as sub-classifications that within the right operations and the right process together make the “total” act (141). As “poetic meaning” goes this looks at more of the attitude that goes into the “implicit programs of action” (143). Semantic ideals are the “idea” that there is an organizational process that works through “sub-classifications”

    which are linguistically based and have to do with phonology and distinctive features. Both approaches use behavioral techniques in treatment as the traditional approach treats articulatory motor behaviors and the pattern-based approach helps treat language behaviors as well as misarticulation patterns displayed through use of phonological processes. Rules of phonology and rules of distinctive features cannot be taught as rules. Rather, children learn such rules subconsciously. Differences in treatment

    proposed that language influences or determines the way in which an individual thinks (Whorfian Hypothesis). Subsequently, Miller and McNeil (1969) distinguished three versions of this hypothesis, simply ladled “strong”, “weak” and “very weak”.
