  • Objection (Tango) - Shakira – Notes 
    Objection (Tango) - Shakira – Notes Activity type: vocabulary, gap fill, listening for specific words, rhyming words. Time: 40 mins. Note: Objection is taken from Shakira’s 2001 album “Laundry Service”. Its rhythm is similar to the Uruguayan-Argentinian tango La Cumparsita, a musical piece written by Uruguayan musician Gerardo Matos Rodríguez in 1919. La Cumparsita is one of the most famous and recognizable tango songs of all time; the Argentinean team marched to it in the Olympic Games of Sydney 2000. Pre-listening activities: 1) Give each student a copy of the worksheet. Students can work in pairs or small groups to complete Exercise 1) – the first to complete the exercise is the winner. Vocabulary note: In the song Shakira erroneously sings silicon /’sɪlɪkən/ (a chemical element), although she means silicone /’sɪlɪkəʊn/, in this context meaning breast implants! That part of the music video uses subtitles – correctly. Key: A - 2; B - 3; C - 5; D - 1; E - 6; F - 4. 2) Students do Exercise 2). Note: not all the words are direct rhymes. Key: irresistible – fixable name – care exception – attention mother - bother While-listening activities: 3) Play the first part of the song (as far as “But you don't even bother” - 59 seconds into the original recording) – students check, correct and complete the exercise. 4) Students do Exercise 3). Play the next part of the song (as far as “I’ve got to get away” - after 1’ 11” on the original recording) – students check, correct and complete the exercise. 5) Students do Exercise 4). Play the next part of the song, (as far as “Away from here” - at 2’ 21” on the original recording) – students check, correct and complete the exercise, and follow the lyrics.

  • The Michael Jackson of Two Or Three Noses Ago and the Michael Jackson of Today – Multiple Personalities Or Conceptual Metonymy?
    Jezikoslovlje 8.1 (2007): 27-44 ɱ 27 UDC 811.111'373.612.2'373.231 Original scientific paper Received on 06.11. 2007. Accepted for publication 28.11. 2007. Sanja Berberoviü Faculty of Philosophy University of Tuzla The Michael Jackson of two or three noses ago and the Michael Jackson of today – multiple personalities or conceptual metonymy? The paper deals with the construction of the figurative meaning of personal names in expressions of the type the X of Y, in which X is a personal name designating humans and Y designates a temporal period. Such expressions, used in connection with the original bearer of the name, are considered to be instances of partitive re- strictive modification. Applying the findings of Barcelona (2003, 2004) and Brdar and Brdar-Szabó (2007) concerning the figurative meaning of personal names, the paper illustrates that the ENTITY FOR ACTIVE ZONE metonymy is an essential tool in explaining how the figurative meaning of personal names arises in expressions of this type. As a result of partitive restrictive modification, the original bearer of the personal name is figuratively split into distinct individuals due to the ENTITY FOR ACTIVE ZONE metonymy. Key words: personal names, figurative meaning, partitive restrictive modifica- tion, the ENTITY FOR ACTIVE ZONE metonymy 1. Introduction Proper names have attracted the attention of linguists and philosophers alike for centuries. There are numerous linguistic and philosophical insights into proper names, each focusing on different aspects. Some of these theories have had wide application and have been of great importance, while others are merely unsuc- cessful attempts to construct a valid theory of proper nouns.
