' ABSTRACT The article offers two approaches to the question of 'invisible punctuation,' theoretical and critical. The first is a taxonomy of modes of punctuational invisibility, · identifying denial, repression, habituation, error and absence. Each is briefly discussed and some relations with technologies of reading are considered. The second considers the paragraphing, or lack of it, in Sir Philip Sidney's Apology for Poetry: one of the two early printed editions and at least one of the two MSS are mono­ paragraphic, a feature always silently eliminated by editors as a supposed carelessness. It is argued that this is improbable

  • Chapter Two Literature Review in This Study, the Researcher Shows
    11 Chapter Two Literature Review In this study, the researcher shows definition and theory in literature review. The researcher writes some definition of punctuation marks taken from some researchers. Then, the researcher also adds review of related study that contains some research results taken from some researchers. The last is conceptual framework. The researcher takes summary from the theory from some researchers before. English Punctuation According to Jones (1994, p.421) “punctuation, as we consider it, can be defined as the central part of the range of non-lexical orthography”. Allthough arguments could be made for including the sub-lexical marks (e.g. hyphens, apostrolphes ) and structural marlcs (e.g. bullets in itemisations), they are excluded since they tend to be lexicalised or rather difficult to represent, respectively. The other concept comes from Samson (2014, p.23). He said, “punctuation enables us to clarify statements and communicate better with readers.” It is similar with the opinion from Ritter (2001, p. 112) said that “Punctuation exists to clarify meaning in the written word and to facilitate reading. Too much can hamper understanding through an uneven, staccato text, while too little can lead to misreading. Within the framework of a few basic rules (fewer still in fiction), an 12 author's choice of punctuation is an ingredient of style as personal as his or her choice of words.” Writing Writing is an outward expression of what is going on in the writer’s mind (Hussain, Hanif, Asif, and Rehman, 2013). Furthermore, according to Hussain et al (2013), “writing is the visual medium through which graphical and grammatical system of a language is manifested” (p.832).

  • THE IMPORTANCE of BIBLICAL PUNCTUATION by John Temples
    BIBLICAL INSIGHTS #57: JOTS AND TITTLES: THE IMPORTANCE OF BIBLICAL PUNCTUATION By John Temples Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass ​ ​ from the law till all is fulfilled” (Matthew 5:17-18). What on earth are jots and tittles? A jot (or yod) was the smallest letter in the ​ ​ Hebrew alphabet. It resembled an apostrophe (‘). A tittle was even smaller, and was a little “horn” or pen stroke on the end of a letter, rather like a serif on a letter in the English alphabet. The NIV does a good job of rendering the sense of Matthew 5:18--“I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.” (It’s important to note that the law was ​ fulfilled in Jesus and His sacrifice; so once that sacrifice was completed, and the sin debt was paid by Christ’s blood, the law did pass away and was replaced by the New Testament.) So Jesus was saying that not even the smallest parts of the law of Moses would pass away until all the law’s requirements were fulfilled. We use similar expressions when we want to emphasize the importance of small details, such as “dotting our i’s and crossing our t’s.” ​ ​ ​ ​ Also, in English we have small but important marks of punctuation--commas, ​ ​ periods, colons, question marks, etc.

  • Type Design for Typewriters: Olivetti by María Ramos Silva
    Type design for typewriters: Olivetti by María Ramos Silva Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the MA in Typeface Design Department of Typography & Graphic Communication University of Reading, United Kingdom September 2015 The word utopia is the most convenient way to sell off what one has not the will, ability, or courage to do. A dream seems like a dream until one begin to work on it. Only then it becomes a goal, which is something infinitely bigger.1 -- Adriano Olivetti. 1 Original text: ‘Il termine utopia è la maniera più comoda per liquidare quello che non si ha voglia, capacità, o coraggio di fare. Un sogno sembra un sogno fino a quando non si comincia da qualche parte, solo allora diventa un proposito, cio è qualcosa di infinitamente più grande.’ Source: fondazioneadrianolivetti.it. -- Abstract The history of the typewriter has been covered by writers and researchers. However, the interest shown in the origin of the machine has not revealed a further interest in one of the true reasons of its existence, the printed letters. The following pages try to bring some light on this part of the history of type design, typewriter typefaces. The research focused on a particular company, Olivetti, one of the most important typewriter manufacturers. The first two sections describe the context for the main topic. These introductory pages explain briefly the history of the typewriter and highlight the particular facts that led Olivetti on its way to success. The next section, ‘Typewriters and text composition’, creates a link between the historical background and the machine.

This book concerns this new, higher literacy and whether current educational restructuring efforts are likely to foster such literacy in all students. The study used informal interviewing techniques and examined classrooms for evidence of nine general climate indicators conducive to a literac of thoughtfulness. The first chapters focus on rure America, especially the Deep South, where teachers are educating children to leave their communities. The third chapter describes education on an Indian reservation, where the colonial model is waning. Chapter 4 describes the conflicts and contradictions in a troubled, but typical urban school district unintentionally engaged in undermining literacy efforts. Chapter 5 broadens the notion of "policy environment" and describes the contributions of a governor, a legislature, a state school board, and a district judge.

  • GORGEOUS GRAMMAR for KS2 and PERFECT PUNCTUATION
    GORGEOUS GRAMMAR FOR KS2 And PERFECT PUNCTUATION VERBS 1 (year 3, 4, 5 and 6) 1 A verb is the most important word in any sentence. The verb is the doing word, the action word. It is the word which tells us what happens, what is happening, what will happen, what has happened, what happened, and so on. The English language is very rich in verbs. Try to choose verbs that really bring your sentences to life. Task 1 Think of some really exciting verbs to complete these sentences. Your teacher may award points for the most imaginative sentences. 1. Our cat .......... with the mouse for a while, then he suddenly .......... on it. 2. Archie .......... onto the dance floor and .......... at the nearest pretty girl. 3. “Someone has .......... the Kooh-i-Noor Diamond!” .......... Joe. 4. Tarzan was so hungry he .......... a whole wild pig by himself. 5. What a boy you are! You’re dad will definitely .......... you when we get home. Task 2 In these sentences replace the worn-out, over-used, dull, boring verbs with ones that are more exciting and evocative. (evocative means conjures up a picture). 1. Amy ran towards the finish line and burst through the tape. 2. Juliet said, “Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?” 3. Ben went under the patio to look for the lost puppy. 4. Broccoli is something I really don’t like. 5. The librarian put the books on the shelf in alphabetical order. 2 All verbs have different tenses. We use them to refer to the past, the present or the future.
