  • Dear AP Literature Students
    Dear AP Literature Students: Welcome! I’m excited to meet you in the fall and to revel in the amazing reading! Before you return to school in August, please complete the following work to get our conversation started: 1. Carefully read and annotate All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy and Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. When you read McCarthy, I would recommend bookmarking this page as it provides translations of the Spanish: http://cormacmccarthy.cookingwithmarty.com/wp- content/uploads/ATPHTrans.pdf. 2. Next, watch the animated film Persepolis (based on the graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi) and think about how it connects to our summer reading and why. You can rent it on Netflix or Amazon or possibly check it out at your local library. Yes, it is in French with subtitles J 3. Lastly, actively study the vocabulary lists "Literary Allusions" and "Literary Terms" (both in this packet). I would recommend not passively memorizing flashcards or a Quizlet, but instead using the words in your everyday conversations and in your writing to secure them in your memory and into your own personal lexicon! On the first day of AP week, you will be tested on the summer work. The test on the works of fiction will be primarily objective rather than interpretive, and it will include quotation identification, plot and setting points, and character descriptions. The test on the vocabulary will be matching. The point of the test is to ensure that you have read actively and studied the vocabulary so that you can use the works and words immediately.

  • A Pragmatic Study of Litotes in Trump's Political Speeches
    International Journal of Innovation, Creativity and Change. www.ijicc.net Volume 11, Issue 3, 2020 A Pragmatic Study of Litotes in Trump's Political Speeches Wafaa Mokhlosa, Ali Abdulkareem Mukheefb*, a,bUniversity of Babylon, Iraq, Email: b*[email protected] Litotes is defined as a figure of speech by which the affirmative is expressed by denying its contrary. The current study is concerned with identifying and analysing litotes in Donald Trump's political speeches on pragmatic level. The study aims at identifying the illocutionary force of litotes, the functions of litotes, which maxim of Grice is mainly breached in the production of litotes to produce implicature, and which type of litotes is heavily used by Trump. The analysis is curried out on data consists of four texts from Trump's speeches during being president from 2016 to 2019. The study concludes that the illocutionary force of litotes in most of the times is asserting. Litotes is used mainly to fulfil the function of emphasis, but it can be used to perform the functions of encouraging and inciting. Trump uses contrary litotes in most of his speeches. Key words: Pragmatics, Litotes, Illocutionary force, Implicature, Functions. Introduction Politicians use different strategies and devices to convince their audience or gain their support. Figurative language is one of these strategies that are mainly based on the use of certain figures of speech such as irony, euphemism, metaphor, litotes etc. according to Griffiths (2006:81). Understanding figurative language requires a great interaction between semantics and pragmatics. Therefore, to understand the meaning of certain figure of speech a total knowledge of the context is required.

  • Russia in the Middle East: a New Front in the Information War?
    Russia in the Middle East: A New Front in the Information War? By Donald N. Jensen Summary Russia uses its information warfare capability as a tactic, especially its RT Arabic and Sputnik news services, to advance its foreign policy goals in the Middle East: become a great power in the region; reduce the role of the United States; prop up allies such as Bashir al- Assad in Syria, and fight terrorism. Evidence suggests that while Russian media narratives are disseminated broadly in the region by traditional means and online, outside of Syria its impact has been limited. The ability of regional authoritarian governments to control the information their societies receive, cross cutting political pressures, the lack of longstanding ethnic and cultural ties with Russia, and widespread doubts about Russian intentions will make it difficult for Moscow to use information operations as an effective tool should it decide to maintain an enhanced permanent presence in the region. Introduction Russian assessments of the international system make it clear that the Kremlin considers the country to be engaged in full-scale information warfare. This is reflected in Russia’s latest military doctrine, approved December 2014, comments by public officials, and Moscow’s aggressive use of influence operations.1 The current Russian practice of information warfare combines a number of tried and tested tools of influence with a new embrace of modern technology and capabilities such as the Internet. Some underlying objectives, guiding principles and state activity are broadly recognizable as reinvigorated aspects of subversion campaigns from the Cold War era and earlier. But Russia also has invested hugely in updating the principles of subversion.

(2018). An Analysis of the Translation of Figures of Speech Found in Coco Movie. Yogyakarta: English Language Education, Sanata Dharma University. Movie’s subtitle is a product of translation. Translation is a process of transferring the meaning from source language into the target language. Translating English subtitle is not easy, especially if the movie contains many figures of speech expressions. The translator should be aware in translating the figure of speech expressions because they cannot be translated literally. This research analyzed the types of figures of speech found in COCO movie and how acceptable the translation of the figures of speech is. The researcher chooses COCO movie because it is a new, popular and an inspiring movie. It is an animation movie, which contains figures of speech inside of it. There are two research questions. They are: (1) What types of figures of speech are found in the COCO movie? And (2) How acceptable is the translation of the figures of speech in the Indonesian subtitle? It is a qualitative research and uses document analysis technique.

  • 1. Alliteration, Consonance and Assonance 2. Allusion 3. Analogy 4. Apostrophe
    A Few Literary and Poetic Devices: (words underlined in bold represent “figurative” language) 1. Alliteration, consonance and assonance • The repetition of sounds where consonance uses consonants and assonance uses vowels Ex. From “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door— Only this and nothing more.” 2. Allusion • a literary device in which an author uses subject matter refer to an event, place, or other work – usually not directly stated • An indirect reference to a piece of knowledge not explicitly mentioned in the text, e.g. “Chocolate was her Achilles Heel” Ex. When Nature sleeps and stars are mute, To mar the silence ev’n with lute. At rest on ocean’s brilliant dyes An image of Elysium lies:” 3. Analogy • A literary device that creates a relationship based on parallels or connections between two ideas. By establishing this relationship, the new idea is introduced through a familiar comparison, thus making the new concept easier to grasp. Analogy is more extensive and elaborate than either a simile or a metaphor. Ex. From Romeo and Juliet “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other word would smell as sweet. So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,” 4. Apostrophe • An apostrophe used in literature is an arrangement of words addressing a non-existent person or an abstract idea in such a way as if it were present and capable of understanding feelings.
