Linguistic Stereotypes
RFFZEM, 32-33(22-23)(1992/93,1993/1994) D. ŠKARA: LINGUISTIC STEREOTYPES:... • LINGUISTIC STEREOTYPES: CROSSCULTURAL ANALYSIS OF PROVERBS DANICA ŠKARA UDK/UDC: 801 Filozofski fakultet u Zadru Izvorni znanstveni članak Faculty of Philosophy in Zadar Original scientific paper Primljeno : 1994-03-30 Received The aim of this paper is to analyse proverbs as linguistic stereotypes from a semantic point of view. The sample of proverbs is randomly chosen from 3 national collections: Croatian, English and Italian. The results of the analysis show that quite a small number of proverbs (about 10%) reflect traditional values and customs which are specific to one culture only. It seems that their universal character makes an ethnocentric approach nearly unacceptable. A high percentage of proverbs (90%) share a very strong mutual resemblance, despite all the differences stemming from ethnic, geographic, historical and language factors. The prevalence of equivalent, synonymous proverbs over specific ones is evident. They differ only in their immagery, in local realia and concepts, but the logical formula of their content is identical. The most frequent sentence structure of the proverbs with universal distrubution is the quadripartite structure and its main feature is symmetry. Does it mean that such sentences can be considered as some kind of kernel sentences? This question asks for additional research. Finally, we can make a conclusion that the universality and transferability are the most prominent features of the proverbs. 1. Introduction It is generally accepted that proverbs represent the smallest verbal folklore genre, but they can be viewed as linguistic units, too. They are used in everyday conversation, journalistic writing, advertising, speeches of all types, in sermons, literature, slogans, songs, and other forms of human communications. -
Development of an Online Tense and Aspect Identifier for English
Development of an online tense and aspect identifier for English John Blake1 Abstract. This article describes the development of a tense and aspect identifier, an online tool designed to help learners of English by harnessing a natural language processing pipeline to automatically classify verb groups into one of 12 grammatical tenses. Currently, there is no website or application that can automatically identify tense in context, and the tense and aspect identifier fills that niche. Learners can use the tool to see how grammatical tenses are used in context. Finite verb groups are automatically identified,and the relevant words in the verb group are highlighted and colorized according to the tense identified. The latest deployed system can identify tenses in simple, compound, and complex sentences. False positive results occur when there is ellipsis of auxiliary verbs or when the tagger assigns the incorrect part-of-speech tag. The user interface of the tense identifier is a web app created using the Flask framework and deployed from the Heroku platform. The tool can be used for inductive and deductive teaching approaches, or even to check for tense consistency in a thesis. Keywords: tense, aspect, iCALL, visualization. 1. Introduction Basic internet searches identify websites that explain the form and function of tenses, and numerous examples of each tense can be found. However, when teachers or learners want to identify the tense and aspect in a particular sentence, no online tool was discovered that could automatically identify the grammatical tense of sentences submitted by users. 1.

Anchor Tense in Japanese Narrative
愛知教育大学研究報告, 52 (人文・社会科学編), pp.51~61, March, 2003 Anchor Tense in Japanese Narrative Midori INABA Department of Teaching Japanese as a Foreign Language, Aichi University of Education, Kariya 448-8542, Japan 1. PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND A proficient narrative has consistency in anchoring favored tense. This consistency is considered one of the criteria for the development of child language in narrative discourse. Generally narrators can choose either past or present tense in recounting events. Another factor in evaluating proficient narrative is appropriate tense shifting1in narrative discourse. The present study investigated the way Japanese children learn to use grammatical tense in narrative discourse. It centered on the developmental changes of temporal marking in Japanese narratives from two respects: a dominant tense and tense shifting. The research on dominant tense involved examining what tense Japanese children and adults favored for tellingthe story, and to what extent they are consistent in reliance on thisform - either present or past - as an "anchor" for the narrative as a whole in a larger set of Japanese narratives. Tense shiftingwas discussed with the dominant tense, displaying how they switch past and present tense in accordance with the demands of a thematically organized and cohesive narrative. Prior research conducted by Berman and Slobin (1994) demonstrated that younger children do not always manage to adhere to a single grammatical tense, but older children and adults maintained consistently a favored tense throughout the narration. The developmental change occurs from "perceptually-motivated" choice of tense/aspect forms to "narratively-motivated" choice. In the course of development, the childlearns to use the expressive options of a particular native language to carry out narrative-discourse functions. -

An Analysis of Grammatical Tense in Persian and English Translations of Surah Yusuf
Available online at www.ijmrhs.com Special Issue 9S: Medical Science and Healthcare: Current Scenario and Future Development International Journal of Medical Research & ISSN No: 2319-5886 Health Sciences, 2016, 5, 9S:165-169 An Analysis of Grammatical Tense in Persian and English Translations of Surah Yusuf Mehrzad Mansouri 1 and Marzieh Afshari 2 1Assistant Professor at the Department of Linguistics and Foreign Languages, Shiraz University 2M.A in Linguistics, Shiraz University Corresponding email: [email protected] _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT One of the interesting aspects of language studies is grammatical tense. In Iran, traditional grammarians have often classified tense into past, present, and future. Today, linguists have challenged such classifications by suggesting new ideas. In this regard, the present study, by using a descriptive-analytic method, and based on traditional models of tense, compares tense in the English and Persian translations of Surah Yusuf (from Holy Quran). Having identified the verbs in the text of Surah Yusuf (Joseph), the study analyzes their tense, and then compares the four Persian and English translations. The study reveals significant findings including the ideology of the translator, number of each subcategory of tense and their relationships with the text of Quran. Keywords: Tense, Surah Yusuf, Persian translation, English translation, Ideology _____________________________________________________________________________________________ -
The Semantics of Progressive Aspect: a Thorough Study MOUSUME AKHTER FLORA & S.M
The Semantics of Progressive Aspect: A Thorough Study MOUSUME AKHTER FLORA & S.M. MOHIBUL HASAN Abstract In English grammar, verbs have two important characteristics--tense and aspect. Grammatically tense is marked in two ways: Present and Past. English verbs can have another property called aspect, applicable in both present and past forms of verbs. There are two major types of morphologically marked aspects in English verbs: progressive and perfective. While present and past tenses are morphologically marked by the forms verb+s/es (as in He plays) and verb+d/ed (as in He played) respectively, the morphological representations of progressive and perfective aspects in the tenses are verb+ing (He is/was playing) and verb+d/ed/n/en (He has/had played) respectively. This paper focuses only on one type of aspectual feature of verbs--present progressive. It analyses the use of present progressive in terms of semantics and explains its use in different contexts for durative conclusive and non-conclusive use, for its use in relation to time of reference, and for its use in some special cases. Then it considers the restrictions on the use of progressive aspect in both present and past tenses based on the nature of verbs and duration of time. 1. Introduction ‘Aspect’ has been widely discussed in English grammar with respect to the internal structure of actions, states and events as it revolves around the grammatical category of English verb groups and tenses. Depending on the interpretations of actions, states, and events as a feature of the verbs or as a matter of speaker’s viewpoint, two approaches are available for aspect: ‘Temporal’ and ‘Non-temporal’. -
Grammatical Tense Does Express Time.Indd
Topic 15. Grammatical tense does express time. Examine the relationship between grammatical tense, relative time, and verbal aspect in ancient Greek. Time sequences events. Tense infl ects char- acteristics of action words. Verbal aspect expresses an author’s perspective about an action. Relative time is one of numerous kinds of verbal aspect. Ancient grammarians agree—relative time is the primary function of tense. Some claim that certain types of verbal aspect are more dominant than rela- tive time. Th is contradicts both the claims of ancient grammarians and also modern linguists. Relative time is the fi rst and most important implication of grammatical tense. However, verbal aspect is useful to illuminate nuances of grammatical tense. Consider a current debate about the relationship between grammatical tense and verbal aspect. In particular, examine the relationship between grammatical tense and time. Examine time. Tense and time are distinct properties. Use the two terms in completely dif- ferent ways. Tense assigns an action to one of seven categories. These categories express a perspective of the author about when an action 1 occurs. Tense is a grammati- cal property of action words. Identify the tense of an action by its morphology. Tense is related to time, but it does not equal time. Defi ne time. Time is the relative measurement of the order of events. Time is a property assigned to the events themselves—it is not a property of language. The analy- sis of time belongs to the fields of physics, history, philosophy, and psychology. Time is an abstract notion, built on esoteric philosophical ideas. -
