So far, one has been installed. You may have won- dered why these changes were made and whose ideas they were. The Student Govern- ment Association (SGA) of UW-Sheboygan decided to make these changes. One of the association’s largest responsibilities is to spend segregated fees on projects like these. Segregated fees come out of the students’ tuition that they pay to the campus. SGA members thought that the area in the Com- mons needed a more up-to-date look. It is important to have an area so frequently used by stu- dents that looks and feels better. In an effort to make the campus more environ- mentally friendly, SGA decided to put the water bottle stations on cam- pus.

    1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION This chapter explains the background of the study, problems of the study, objectives of the study, significances of the study, scope and limitation of the study, definition of key terms, and framework of discussion. A. Background of the study The language use by a group of people can show their background in terms of the social and cultural which called as sociolinguistic philology. Sociolinguistics is the study of language as it affects and is affected by social relations. Sociolinguistic encompasses a broad range of concerns. including bilingualism, pidgin and creole languages, and other ways that language use is influenced by contact among people of different language communities (e.g., speakers of German, French, Italian, and Romansh in Switzerland). Sociolinguists also examine different dialects, accents, and levels of diction in light of social distinctions among people. In practice a dialect can usually be identified by the accent of its speakers as well as by distinctive words, usages, idiomatic expressions, and grammatical features. Language is considered to be a system of communication, used by a particular community of speakers, which has literal and figurative meanings. While the literal meaning is the direct reference of words or sentences to objects, the figurative sense is used for giving an imaginative description or a special effect. Therefore, the meaning of individual words in an expression has nothing to do in the comprehension of the whole meaning. Such a meaning characterizes notions like metaphors, similes, proverbs and idioms. 2 Among these, idioms have a great extent use in everyday language, and they are considered as one of the most frequently used means of non-literal language.1 Among them, the idiom has a great used so far in everyday language, and they are considered as one of the most commonly used way of non-literal language.

Some people think that their life is more colorful when listening the music and other say that nobody can live without music. According to Ningsih (2011), music is an art form that is composed of sound and combination of vocal, harmony, rhythm, and so on. It means that the one of daily need that must be consumed. Nowdays, music has grows up very fast in every corner of the world. Music can be used for communication, ceremony and many more. Music also has big influences in our life. For example, music can be used to get our spirit, to get us stronger, to get happiness, and so on. Music has many adventages for human beings when people listen or play the music it is also can made the humans feel relaxed and not feel bored. In addition, music can give human’s knowledge. For example, we can learn about music like language style, genre, emotion, rhythm, and so on. 1 digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id digilib.uinsby.ac.id 2 People are commonly attracted to a musician or a singer who has a great lyric and nice song.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • ABOUT the POET and HIS POETRY William Blake
    ABOUT THE POET AND HIS POETRY William Blake William Blake was born in London on November 28, 1757, to James, a hosier, and Catherine Blake. Two of his six siblings died in infancy. From early childhood, Blake spoke of having visions—at four he saw God ―put his head to the window‖; around age nine, while walking dathrough the countryside, he saw a tree filled with angels. Although his parents tried to discourage him from ―lying," they did observe that he was different from his peers and did not force him to attend conventional school. He learned to read and write at home. At age ten, Blake expressed a wish to become a painter, so his parents sent him to drawing school. Two years later, Blake began writing poetry. When he turned fourteen, he apprenticed with an engraver because art school proved too costly. One of Blake‘s assignments as apprentice was to sketch the tombs at Westminster Abbey, exposing him to a variety of Gothic styles from which he would draw inspiration throughout his career. After his seven-year term ended, he studied briefly at the Royal Academy. In 1782, he married an illiterate woman named Catherine Boucher. Blake taught her to read and to write, and also instructed her in draftsmanship. Later, she helped him print the illuminated poetry for which he is remembered today; the couple had no children. In 1784 he set up a printshop with a friend and former fellow apprentice, James Parker, but this venture failed after several years. For the remainder of his life, Blake made a meager living as an engraver and illustrator for books and magazines.

    ISSUE #35 MMUSICMAG.COM overall aesthetic. The breakthrough came after she and British musician Kid Harpoon penned “Burning Gold,” a triumphant pop anthem unlike anything on her 2011 debut, Lovestrong. “I remember staying up the entire night, freaking out with my manager,” says Perri, 27. “I put the headphones on and was like, ‘Oh, my God—this is it!’” Later, Perri connected with British producer Jake Gosling and wound up staying in England all summer recording nine songs. “I caught a vibe,” she says. “I found myself in a little family who knew exactly what they wanted to do, and we had the perfect kind of mix going on.” Perri is no stranger to collaboration. On Lovestrong, she teamed with co-writers on eight of the 12 songs, including “Jar of Hearts,” the piano ballad that kick-started her career. The song was featured on a 2010 episode of So You Think You Can Dance, and within days, it shot up the iTunes charts, earning Perri a deal with Atlantic. In 2012, she scored another key placement, landing “A Thousand Years” sai T on the soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: u Y Breaking Dawn—Part 1. With success came loads of touring— enough to leave Perri burned out.
