TEXT A Bigorexia: The Expert View (adapted) Sunday Times, 21 March, 2010 1. There are huge men out there, men who train until their muscles bulge – but they still believe they are small. When they look in the mirror, they see a tiny guy. 2. They are suffering from a disorder called ‘bigorexia’. Wits University head of psychiatry, Professor Christopher P Szabo, says: “These men have a distorted body image as do sufferers of anorexia, but it differs in that they see themselves as too small.” (5) 3. The medical term is “muscle dysmorphia” and it was identified in 1997 in the US. 4. Szabo says: “These men keep training, thinking it will make them feel better, but it does http://www.flickr.com/photos/eneas/2540708438/ not.” They often can’t show themselves in public as they think that their muscles aren’t Over the past 25 years Batman, Superman, GI Joe, The Incredible Hulk and Spiderman have all good enough. increased in size significantly, except for the waist, US researcher Timothy Baghurst, a sports scientist, found in a study on body image.

  • A Corpus·Based Investigation of Xhosa English In
    A CORPUS·BASED INVESTIGATION OF XHOSA ENGLISH IN THE CLASSROOM SETTING A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS of RHODES UNIVERSITY by CANDICE LEE PLATT January 2004 Supervisor: Professor V.A de K1erk ABSTRACT This study is an investigation of Xhosa English as used by teachers in the Grahamstown area of the Eastern Cape. The aims of the study were firstly, to compile a 20 000 word mini-corpus of the spoken English of Xhosa mother­ tongue teachers in Grahamstown, and to use this data to describe the characteristics of Xhosa English used in the classroom context; and secondly, to assess the usefulness of a corpus-based approach to a study of this nature. The English of five Xhosa mother-tongue teachers was investigated. These teachers were recorded while teaching in English and the data was then transcribed for analysis. The data was analysed using Wordsmith Tools to investigate patterns in the teachers' language. Grammatical, lexical and discourse patterns were explored based on the findings of other researchers' investigations of Black South African English and Xhosa English. In general, many of the patterns reported in the literature were found in the data, but to a lesser extent than reported in literature which gave quantitative information. Some features not described elsewhere were also found . The corpus-based approach was found to be useful within the limits of pattern­ matching. 1I TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS vi CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION 1.1 CORPORA 1 1.2 BLACK SOUTH

Variation And Change In Past Tense Negation In African American English Abstract This dissertation investigates the use of ain’t for negation in past tense contexts in Philadelphia African American English [PhAAE]. This use of ain’t, which varies with didn’t, is a unique feature of AAE (Labov et al. 1968) and has implications for the expression of tense/aspect in the language. First, it further levels tense/aspect cues from auxiliaries in negative contexts. Second, whereas verbal complements of didn’t are uninflected (1a), complements of ain’t may either be uninflected or in preterit form (1b). This asymmetry indicates potential structural differences between ain’t and didn’t. (1) a. They didn’t play yesterday. b. They ain’t play(ed) yesterday. Consequently, this dissertation joins a quantitative study of the social and linguistic factors conditioning use of ain’t with a distributional investigation of its syntax and interaction with tense morphology. Toward that end, I analyze naturalistic speech data from 42 speakers in a corpus of casual conversations collected in the early 1980s from African American Philadelphians.

More specifically, we are able to address the critical needs of these students in ways that are grounded in proven practices and responsible research. We choose to be affiliated with Gateways because these grade-appropriate materials are tailored to meet the needs of English language learners. This program was tested with diverse groups of English language learners— those who have just arrived in the United States, those with educational gaps, those highly literate in their first languages, those not literate in any language, and those who have ceased to make much improvement in learning English over many years. Throughout the testing, these materials appealed to teachers and students alike. Most importantly, Gateways, based on research and proven effective teaching practices, helps to accelerate learners’ development of English in real classrooms with real students. This program helps to get English language learners into core-curricular instruction quickly, where they can continue to acquire the academic, content-specific language skills needed to succeed in life and, if students so choose, in higher education.

  • Yes-No Questions, Negative Yes-No Questions, and Tag Questions: Implications for Teaching Japanese Students of English
    札幌大学総合論叢 第 49 号（2020 年３月） 〈論文〉 Yes-No Questions, Negative Yes-No Questions, and Tag Questions: Implications for Teaching Japanese Students of English Michael V. Mielke Introduction Learning English as a second language or foreign language poses many challenges for Japanese students, particularly in the use of correct English grammar. Various authors have shown that Japanese students make similar errors with many parts of English grammar（ Barker 2008, Izzo 1999）. Some errors can be relatively benign in their consequences such as forgetting the "s" at the end of third person singular verbs, or mistaking subject or object pronouns in constructions such as, "Me and her are going to the park." In these two common error examples, the meaning is still quite clear from the context. One area of grammar that can have more serious consequences is in what Huddleston and Pullum（ 2016, 853-855） refer to as closed interrogatives but more commonly known as yes-no questions, where the answers are either a yes or no（ also referred to as polar questions（ 868））. The choice of answers is limited. Variations of closed interrogatives include tag questions, negative yes-no questions, and declarative statements, both positive and negative that serve as questions when they have rising intonation. These types of questions, especially closed negative interrogatives, require "an affirmative or negative reply - often just 'yes' or 'no'（ Crystal 1995, 218） and thus if there is a misunderstanding about how to answer this seemingly simple question form, there is a high probability of a miscommunication. This paper will first describe the formation of regular yes-no questions and then describe three variational forms and their respective usages：negative yes-no questions, 73 Michael V.

  • The Limits of Questioning: Negative Interrogatives and Hostile Question Content
    Journal of Pragmatics 34 (2002) 1427–1446 www.elsevier.com/locate/pragma The limits of questioning: negative interrogatives and hostile question content John Heritage* Department of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA Abstract This paper considers negative interrogatives—questions beginning with such frames as ‘Isn’t it’, ‘Don’t you’, ‘Shouldn’t you’ etc. –– as limiting cases of ‘questioning’. Using data from news interviews, where questioning is mandatory and the boundary between questions and assertions can be highly sensitive and contested, it suggests that this form of interrogative is recurrently produced as, and treated as, a vehicle for assertions. Further while negative interrogatives are contested as ‘assertions’, statements accompanied by negative tags are not. This suggests that Bolinger’s (Bolinger, Dwight, 1957. Interrogative Structures of American English. University of Alabama Press, Alabama.) claim that the two formats are equivalent is incorrect. Some suggestions are offered as to why the two formats should be differentially treated in terms of their assertiveness. # 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. Keywords: Questions; Interaction; Preference; Institutional; News interviews 1. Introduction In its most elementary form, a ‘question’ is a form of social action, designed to seek information and accomplished in a turn at talk by means of interrogative syn- tax. ‘Do you have the time?’ embodies this fusion of grammar and social action, and so does ‘What time is it?’ Interrogative syntax is the standard means of accom- plishing the kind of social action –– henceforth ‘questioning’—that seeks informa- tion, and it embodies a kind of social normativity that is frozen in grammar—a grammaticalized normativity.

English varieties are used a lot in daily communications throughout the world. African English varieties are discussed in this paper, including West African English, East African English and South African English. Kenya and Tanzania corpus is the main target corpus while Jamaica corpus is used as a comparative one. The tool used is AntConc 3.2.4. Index Terms—corpus, English varieties, African English, pidgins, creoles I. INTRODUCTION A. Standard English There is an agreeable division among scholars that the whole world is divided into three circles: the Inner Circle, the Outer Circle, and the Expanding Circle. In the Inner Circle, English is spoken as mother tongue; in the Outer Circle, English is usually spoken as a second language; in the Expanding Circle, English is usually spoken as a foreign language. Standard English is used in books, newspapers, magazines and nearly everything else that appears in print in the English-speaking world. This type of English is called “standard” because it has undergone standardization, which means that it has been subjected to a process through which it has been selected and stabilized, in a way that other varieties have not.
