PhD student (corresponding author) Department of English, Khorasgan Branch Islamic Azad University, Isfahan, Iran [email protected] Reza Biria, PhD Azad University, Khorasgan Branch [email protected] Abstract Politeness refers to the activities which aim at the social and cultural norms of linguistic communication. The current study investigates the politeness strategies used in the “Jane Ayre” novel by Charlotte Brontё (1847) and the Persian translation by Mehdi Afshar (2005), emphasizing on sociological factors. The factors mentioned here are distance, power and imposition of rank by focusing on distance. According to this article it seems there is another factor in addition to the preceded factors which leads to expressing some especial utterances. By considering the culture, sociological factors and the situation in different parts of the story it has been clear that “character” is important in utterances as well. The achievement is that “character” can also lead to using politeness as other factors. Investigating the utterances indicates that the relationship between politeness theory and distance is reciprocal. That is, not only does distance cause politeness but also sometimes politeness is used to make distance. Downloaded from mjltm.org at 0:31 +0330 on Tuesday September 28th 2021 This paper examines how politeness is used to make distance between two characters. 1) INTRODUCTION Linguistics and literature have been claimed to have a difficult relationship and some research have been done in this regard. Since one of the debating subjects in linguistic studies is politeness theory, recently it has been considered as one of the raising issues in stylistic analysis of literature, as well. Many researchers have investigated politeness theory from different viewpoints but the most significant one of all is Brown and Levinson’s (1987) study. The current study consists of two parts; first part attempts to take a look at Brown and Levinson’s theory of politeness in the case of sociological factors- power, distance and ranking of the imposition. The second part consists of the considering “Jane Ayre” novel by Charlotte Brontё (1847) and the Persian translation by Mehdi Afshar (2005), in order to examine the relationship between sociological factors and politeness theory. Vol. 3, Issue 2, June 2013 9 Modern Journal of Language Teaching Methods (MJLTM) 2) Brown and Levinson’s theory of Politeness One of the key concepts of Brown and Levinson’s theory is model person (MP) who is a fluent speaker of a natural language. According to Brown and Levinson (1987:84), “our MP is a reasonable approximation to universal assumptions”. MP’s properties are “rationality” and “face”. The theoretical concept is borrowed from Goffman (1967 :306), who defines it as “the image of self delineated in terms of approved social attributes”, and therefore as “the positive social value a person effectively claims for himself .” Hence the related notion of ‘face –work’, which designates all the actions taken by an individual to behave consistently with face. Goffman (1967) believes that face can be threatened, maintained or enhanced. According to Brown and Levinson’s (1987) theory face is the public self-image that each member claims for himself. The concept of face is culture bound, but they emphasize that the mutual knowledge of members’ face and the social context that necessitate them choosing special utterances in interactions, are universal. Face in this definition is divided into two types: (i) Negative face: the want of every ‘component adult member’ that his actions be unimpeded by others. (ii) Positive face: the want of every member that his wants be desirable to some others. In this theory most speech acts which intrinsically

University of Zagreb Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Department of English TEFL Section L1 AND L2 USE IN THE CROATIAN YEFL CLASSROOM Graduation Thesis Student: Ivana Vojnović Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Marta Medved-Krajnović Zagreb, September 2014. Examining committee: Prof. Jelena Mihaljevic Djigunović Assoc. Prof. Marta Medved Krajnović Stela Letica Krevelj, PhD Abstract In the first chapter, a brief overview of literature is given on the topic of L1 in English Language Teaching - its role throughout history, its representation in different language teaching methods and approaches, and its use in the L2 classroom. In chapter two, the concept of ELL (early language learning) is presented and discussed, and chapter three presents the ELLiE (Early Language Learning in Europe) project. Part two of this thesis is the study itself. The aim of the study was to look into and analyse L1 use in the Croatian YEFL classroom, with the stress being on its quantity and functions, and see how it changes through a period of three school years (grades 1-3). Data was collected and later transcribed by researchers from the ELLiE study. The author of this paper then examined and analysed transcripts from two Croatian schools in order to see how they differed according to their L1 use when compared to each other. It was assumed that the amount of L1 use would keep decreasing in accordance with grade progression.

Doi: 10.17263/jlls.759330 Submission Date: 23/01/2020 Acceptance Date: 18/03/2020 Abstract The current study examines the impact of L1 use on EFL learners’ L2 speaking skills as well as their perceptions of L1 use in fostering oral production in L2. The study was conducted for 10 weeks with 60 low intermediate and the high intermediate students at a high school of science in Turkey in 2018-2019 spring term. In each group, half of the students were designated as the experimental group and the other half as the control group. The experimental groups in each level group were exposed to a 10-week (40 hours of teaching) of L1 use in order to promote speaking skills in L2 while the control groups were taught through communicative language approach. In the study, the explanatory sequential mixed methods design was utilized. The analysis of a Paired-Sample t-test indicated that L1 use played a pivotal role in ameliorating students’ L2 speaking skills. Semi-structured interviews revealed that students favoured L1 use through which they could attenuate cognitive load and experience stress-free classroom environment in order to improve speaking skills in L2.

All rights reserved. The Contradictions of Techno-Nationalism and Techno-Globalism: A Historical Perspective David E.H. Edgerton Abstract Techno-nationalism and techno-globalism are descriptive and prescriptive categories for understanding the impact of technology on society and vice versa. They reflect the underlying assumptions made by analysts of the place of technology in the world, and denote ideologies, rather than technological policies or realities. They also help us to realize that standard accounts of the nation and globalization are not as securely based as they appear. Indeed, nations and states are important in ways techno-nationalism does not capture, and the international and global dimension is crucial in ways which that techno-globalism overlooks. Yet an analysis of both terms yields building blocks to a more sophisticated appreciation of the linkages between the nation, technological innovation and globalization. KEYWORDS: techno-globalism, techno-nationalism, technology Author Notes: David E.H. Edgerton is the Hans Rausing Professor of History of Science at the Technology Imperial College, London. Edgerton: Contradictions of Techno-Nationalism and Techno-Globalism In this article I distinguish two approaches, which I label techno- nationalism and techno-globalism, to the study of technology and society at macro-level.

  • A DEFENCE of the CLICHÉ1 Samuel Godwin
    JOURNAL OF ENGLISH STUDIES - VOLUME 5 (2005-2006), 139-153 A DEFENCE OF THE CLICHÉ1 ADOLPHE HABERER Université Lumière-Lyon 2 ABSTRACT. A sure thing is that clichés have a bad reputation. Trying to define the cliché as a linguistic or stylistic category, however, leads to all sorts of difficulties, as we seem to be dealing with “matters as imprecise as the shape and size of a cloud or the beginning and end of a wave”. Following the example of Louis MacNeice who once wrote a “Homage to Clichés”, in this paper I will take the defence of the cliché and show that in the terms of a (Lacanian) problematics of the subject’s enunciation it has its own function and significance. “ce cœur parlant que nous appelons l’inconscient” 2 Jacques Lacan (in Kaufman 1993: 395) Samuel Godwin (1948), the Hollywood cinema magnate, is reported to have once said to his team of script-writers: “Let’s have some new clichés!”. This raises the question of whether one can “make it new” when dealing in clichés, or be at all original when dealing with clichés – as I will be doing here –, bearing in mind everything that has been said or written on the subject. Perhaps, the only proper way to address the cliché is, as we shall see presently, to follow the example of Louis MacNeice, who composed a “Homage to clichés”, and write up something that would be both an illustration and a defence of the cliché, a discourse from which anything new or original would be eliminated, leaving only what falls into the categories of the banal, the commonplace, the ready-made formula, the 1.

    The Practice and Politics of Children’s Music Education in the German Democratic Republic, 1949-1976 By Anicia Chung Timberlake A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Nicholas Mathew Professor Martin Jay Spring 2015 Abstract The Practice and Politics of Children’s Music Education in the German Democratic Republic, 1949-1976 by Anicia Chung Timberlake Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This dissertation examines the politics of children’s music education in the first decades of the German Democratic Republic. The East German state famously attempted to co-opt music education for propagandistic purposes by mandating songs with patriotic texts. However, as I show, most pedagogues believed that these songs were worthless as political education: children, they argued, learned not through the logic of texts, but through the immediacy of their bodies and their emotions. These educators believed music to be an especially effective site for children’s political education, as music played to children’s strongest suit: their unconscious minds and their emotions. Many pedagogues, composers, and musicologists thus adapted Weimar-era methods that used mostly non-texted music to instill what they held to be socialist values of collectivism, diligence, open-mindedness, and critical thought. I trace the fates of four of these pedagogical practices—solfège, the Orff Schulwerk, lessons in listening, and newly-composed “Brechtian” children’s operas—demonstrating how educators sought to graft the new demands of the socialist society onto inherited German musical and pedagogical traditions.

  • Elements of Satire and Irony in the Major Works of George Orwell
    ELEMENTS OF SATIRE AND IRONY IN THE MAJOR WORKS OF GEORGE ORWELL ABSTRACT \ THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF JBottor of $I)iIo£(opt)p \ : IN ENGLISH V / BY JAWED S. AHMED DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2004 .-^•Tb NoT^43.i\?rf Chapter- I: Introduction This chapter explores the English writers' mindset especially during 1920's and 1930's and the background against which they were writing. In this chapter the history of satire has been explored right from the time of Persius, Horace and Juvenal - all considered to be classical masters of satire. Chaucer and Langland also find mention here as they too are renowned in this genre. The Age of Restoration in England was the age of political satire and both Dryden and Pope stand out as towering figures. Swift too holds a special position for his generalized satire. The sole objective of the satirists can rightly be said to correct the vices of society. George Orwell, too set out to highlight the discrepancies in the political system out of a sense of concern for diluting the power of evil in the world of politics. And at the end of the day, we find that he succeeds to a very great extent in expressing his socio-political views, and his commitment to bring about a radical change for the betterment of society. Chapter- II: Social and Political Baclcground In this chapter the causes of Orwell's all-round disillusionment are explored. His experiences are traced beginning with St. Cyprian's, then his bitter experiences as a police officer in Burma; after that his life in Paris and London and Spain.

This is not a new phenomenon, however, as Nineteen Eighty-Four has had a unique impact on each of the generations that have read it, and the impact has stretched across racial, ethnic, political, and gender lines. This thesis project will examine the critical, popular, and scholarly reception of Nineteen Eighty-Four since its publication 1949. Reviewers’ and commentators’ references common ideas, themes, and settings from the novel will be tracked using narrative theory concepts in order to map out an understanding of how the interpretations of the novel changed over time relative to major events in both American and Pankowski 1 world history.
