Unable to find a book specifically targeting American English for nursing, this need has been met by designing material for nurses and language instructors. The project provides a general overview of the work- place setting and review of the literature organized around three areas: English for spe- cific purposes, hospital language, and cultural aspects of patient care. Within these three areas, the topics of content-based language instruction and learner motivation, medical terminology and abbreviations, and how cultural background can influence a person’s response to illness and hospitalization are addressed. There is a review of six books related to medical English and English for nurses and healthcare professionals. Most of these books are designed for physicians, and emphasize British English. x This project involves

  • Normative Labels in Two Lexicographic Traditions
    http://lexikos.journals.ac.za; https://doi.org/10.5788/30-1-1604 Normative Labels in Two Lexicographic Traditions: A Slovene–English Case Study Marjeta Vrbinc, Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia ([email protected]) Danko Šipka, School for International Letters and Cultures, Arizona State University, Tempe Campus, USA ([email protected]) and Alenka Vrbinc, School of Economics and Business, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia ([email protected]) Abstract: This article presents and discusses the findings of a study conducted with the users of Slovene and American monolingual dictionaries. The aim was to investigate how native speakers of Slovene and American English interpret select normative labels in monolingual dictionaries. The data were obtained by questionnaires developed to elicit monolingual dictionary users' attitudes toward normative labels and the effects the labels have on dictionary users. The results show that a higher level of prescriptivism in the Slovene linguistic culture is reflected in the Slovene respon- dents' perception of the labels (for example, a stronger effect of the normative labels, a higher approval for the claim about usefulness of the labels, a considerably lower general level of accep- tance for the standard language) when compared with the American respondents' perception, since the American linguistic culture tends to be more descriptive. However, users often seek answers to their linguistic questions in dictionaries, which means that they expect at least a certain degree of normativity. Therefore, a balance between descriptive and prescriptive approaches should be found, since both of them affect the users.

    CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE In this chapter, researcher will explain about related and relevant theories that become the main discussion in this research. This chapter covers language varieties, types of language varieties, colloquial, types of colloquial, teaching listening, and Ariana Grande “Thank U, Next” album. 2.1 Language Varieties Language is not uniform or constant, even though English has been established as international language, it does not mean people have same rule, same dialect, and same way to use that language. The appearance of language varieties is caused by the variety of linguistic styles used by the society and it will continue to grow as the times develop. According to Nordquist (2019), Language variety is a general term for any distinctive form of a language or linguistic expression. Linguists commonly use language variety as a cover term for any of the overlapping subcategories of a language. Alluding to Wardhaugh and Fuller (2015), a ‘language’ is considered an overarching category containing dialects, it is also often seen as synonymous with the standard dialect; yet a closer examination of the standard reveals that it is a value-laden abstraction, not an objectively defined linguistic variety. Further, every language has a range of regional dialects, social dialects, styles, registers, and genres. Those aspects might cause variations in language. 6 2.2 Type of Language Varieties Several points of view have been taken to analyze and classify the language variety. In line with this, the varieties can be divided into two types, they are individual and societal language varieties. Jendra (2012), divides into many types of language variety, but the researcher only takes some points which have close relation to this research.

  • A Study of English Translation of Colloquial Expressions in Two Translations of Jamalzadeh: Once Upon a Time and Isfahan Is Half the World
    ISSN 1798-4769 Journal of Language Teaching and Research, Vol. 8, No. 5, pp. 1011-1021, September 2017 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17507/jltr.0805.24 A Study of English Translation of Colloquial Expressions in Two Translations of Jamalzadeh: Once Upon a Time and Isfahan Is Half the World Elham Jalalpour English Department, Islamic Azad University, Isfahan (Khorasgan) Branch, Iran Hossein Heidari Tabrizi English Department, Islamic Azad University, Isfahan (Khorasgan) Branch, Iran Abstract—The purpose of this study was to explore the translation of one of the sub-categories of culture- bound items that is colloquial and slang expressions from Persian to English in two works by Jamalzadeh, Yeki Bud, Yeki Nabud translated by Moayyed & Sprachman and Sar o Tah e Yek Karbas translated by Heston. Applying Newmark’s (1988b) framework, the type and frequency of translation procedures applied by translators as well as the effectiveness of the translators in preserving the level of colloquialism of source texts were determined. The results of this descriptive study revealed that the translators had applied 6 procedures: synonymy (%51), paraphrase (%26.5), literal (%8.5), descriptive equivalent (%2.5 ), couplet (%2) , shift (%1), omission (%5) and mistranslation (%3.5). As for maintaining the informal style of the source texts, the co- translators of the book of Yeki, Sprachman (native English translator) and Moayyed (native Persian translator) have been more consistent and successful in preserving the tone of the original text than Heston (native English translator of Sar). This success can be partly justified by the acquaintance of Moayyed with Persian language and culture making the correct recognition and translation of expressions possible.

  • Armstrong-Language Change in Context 2
    LANGUAGE CHANGE IN CONTEXT by Joshua Armstrong A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School—New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Philosophy Written under the direction of Ernest Lepore, Jason Stanley, and Jeffrey King and approved by ______________________________________ ______________________________________ ______________________________________ ______________________________________ ______________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October 2013 © 2013 Joshua Armstrong ALL RIGHT RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Language Change in Context by Joshua Armstrong Dissertation Directors: Ernest Lepore, Jason Stanley, and Jeffrey King Linguistic diversity abounds. Speakers do not all share the same vocabularies, and often use the same words in different ways. Moreover, language changes. These changes have particular semantic effects: the meaning of a word can change both over the course of a long period of time and over the course of a single dialogue. In Language Change in Context I develop a foundational account of linguistic meaning that is responsive to these descriptive facts concerning language variation and change. Noam Chomsky and Donald Davidson have, among others, argued that the lack of linguistic homogeneity among a community of speakers and the possibility of semantic innovation undermine standard philosophical characterizations of language as a shared system of sign-meaning pairs employed for the purposes of communication. I draw a different conclusion from the phenomena in question. I propose a dynamic characterization of the relation between agents and the languages they use for the purposes of communication. According to this dynamic account, agents regularly adapt the shared system of sign-meaning pairs that they use for the purposes of a conversation, and it is precisely this adaptive feature of language that makes it an effective instrument for successful communication.

  • Harlytska Tetiana SUBSTANDARD VOCABULARY in the SYSTEM of URBAN COMMUNICATION
    Harlytska Tetiana SUBSTANDARD VOCABULARY IN THE SYSTEM OF URBAN COMMUNICATION Harlytska Tetiana1 DOI: dx.doi.org/10.30525/978-9934-571-30-5_14 Abstract. The article is devoted to substandard elements which are considered as one of the components in the system of urban forms of communication. The Object of our research is substandard vocabulary, the Subject is structural characteristics of the modern city language, the Purpose of the study is to define the main types of substandard vocabu- lary and their role in the system of urban communication. The theoretical base of our research includes the scientific works of native and foreign linguists, which are devoted to urban linguistics (B. Larin, M. Makovskyi, V. Labov, T. Yerofeieva, L. Pederson, R. McDavid, O. Horbach, L. Stavytska, Y. Stepanov, S. Martos). Different lexical and phraseolog- ical units, taken from the Ukrainian, Russian and American Dictionaries of slang and jargon, serve as the material of our research. The main com- ponents of the city language include literary language, territorial dialects, different intermediate transitional types, which are used in the colloquial everyday communication but do not have territorial limited character, and social dialects. The structural characteristics, proposed in the arti- cle, demonstrate the variety and correlation of different subsystems of the city language. Today peripheral elements play the main role in the city communication. They are also called substandard, non-codified, marginal, non-literary elements or the jargon styles of communication. Among sub- standard elements of the city language the most important are social dia- lects, which include such subsystems as argot, jargon and slang.
