The purpose of the research is to study the preparation specifics of philology students and to develop a new approach to their training, based on an effective educational methodology of literary and linguistic analysis of the text. To achieve this goal, exercises and methods are defined. Such methods were used as: comparison, contextual-interpretative, comparative-historical method and other general scientific methods. The study found that in a globalized world it is necessary to form new core competencies in students-philologists, namely the capacity for independent learning throughout life and motivation. It is possible to achieve this through rethinking pedagogical methods. The authors proved that the text is an important means of modern communication which is dynamically transformed which determines the need for its deep philological research. For this, the authors improved the method of preparing students of philology which is based on the introduction of modern information technologies into the system of literary and linguistic analysis of the text. Software products such as Compleat Lexical Tutor and ABBYY Compreno, in particular Compleat Lexical Tutor, make the process of text analysis easy.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 084 281 TM 003 289 AUTHOR Hiller, Jack H.; And Others TITLE On the Uses of the Computer for Content Analysis in Educational Research. PUB DATE Feb 73 NOTE 21p.; Revised version of paper presented at national conference of Association for Computing Machinery (San Francisco, August 1969) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS Audiovisual Aids; Classification; *Computer Programs; *Content Analysis; Educational Research; *Measurement Instruments; *Scoring; Social Sciences; *Structural Analysis; Technical Reports ABSTRACT Current efforts to take advantage of the special virtues of the computer as an aid in text analysis are described. Verbal constructs, category construction, and contingency analysis are discussed and illustrated. Mechanical techniques for reducing human labor when studying large quantities of verbal data have been sought at an increasing rate by researchers in the behavioral sciences. Whatever the purpose of research, if it is to have a scientific character, ti must involve an attempt to reduce natural language data, by formal rules, to measures reflecting theoretically relevant properties of the text, its source, or its audience effects. At the present time, there is no one theory or method dominating the field of natural language analysis. Although much work is currently being expended to implement a finite set of rules on the computer, little has been accomplished that is directly useful to researchers in the social sciences.

    Christos Kakalis In the Orality/Aurality of the Book Inclusivity and Liturgical Language Abstract This article examines the role of language in the constitution of a common identity through its liturgical use at the Eastern Orthodox church of St Andrew’s in Edinburgh, Scotland. Open to individuals who have relocated, the parish has a rather multination- al character. It is a place of worship for populations that consider Christian Orthodox culture part of their long-established collective identity and for recent converts. Based on ethnographic research, archival work and theoretical contextualisation, the article examines the atmospheric materiality of the written text as performed by the readers, the choir and the clergy. This soundscape is an amalgam of different kinds of reading: prose, chanted prose, chanting and antiphonic, depending the part of the Liturgy being read. The language of the book is performative: the choreography and its symbolisms perform the words of the texts and vice versa. Additionally, the use of at least four languages in every service and two Eastern Orthodox chanting styles in combination with European influences expresses in the most tangible way the religious inclusivity that has been carefully cultivated in this parish. Through closer examination of literary transformation processes, I demonstrate the role of liturgical language in the creation of communal space-times that negotiate ideas of home and belonging in a new land.

    Inscribing Identity: Insights for Teaching From ESL Students’ Journals Jenny Miller Linguistic minority students in schools must acquire and operate in a second language while negotiating mainstream texts and content areas, along with negotiating an emerging new sense of social identity. This article presents jour- nal data from an Australian ethnographic study that explored the relationship between second-language use, textual practices in school, and the representation of identity. Such texts normally lie outside dominant school discourses, but for students they are a powerful means of negotiating identity and gaining vital language practice. For teachers journals provide critical insights into the experi- ences of their students and into their developing language competence. Les élèves qui forment une minorité linguistique à l’école doivent acquérir une langue seconde et fonctionner dans cette langue en même temps qu’ils assimilent de la matière académique dans la langue dominante et se construisent une nouvelle identité sociale. Cet article présente des données de journaux personnels provenant d’une étude ethnographique en Australie portant sur le rapport entre l’usage d’une langue seconde, les pratiques textuelles à l’école et la représentation de l’identité. Ce genre de textes ne fait habituellement pas partie du discours pédagogique dominant; pourtant, ces textes représentent pour les élèves un puissant moyen de négocier leur identité et de pratiquer leurs habiletés langa- gières. Les journaux personnels fournissent aux enseignants un aperçu impor- tant des expériences de leurs élèves et du développement de leurs compétences langagières. Introduction One of the most critical realities of contemporary education in a globalized world is the growing cultural, racial, and linguistic diversity in schools and the difficulties involved in educating and empowering vast numbers of students who do not speak the majority language.

Speech is regularly dependent upon natural speech’s concatenation i.e. units which are obtained from a sentence or word. The synthesis of concatenative speech has turned out to be exceptionally well known in these years because of its enhanced affectability to unit context over easier predecessors. Speech synthesis has been worked on for quite a few years from now. Latest progress in speech synthesis has delivered synthesizers having very high comprehensibility.In the process of speech synthesis, the accurateness of information extraction is pivotal in creatingsynthesized speech having very high quality. Speech synthesis incorporates the algorithmic changeof text data which is input to waveforms of speech. The characterization of Speech Synthesizers is done by thetechnique utilized for synthesis, encoding and storage of the speech. The method of synthesis is controlled by the size of vocabulary as every single conceivable utterances of the language which should bemodelled. It is a properly confirmedstatement that TTS (text-to- speech) synthesizersintended for utilization in a confined domain dependably perform superiorto their counterparts which are of general purpose. The outline of such universally useful synthesizers iscomplex by the concept that the sound output requires to be very near to natural speech.
