DeCEN is a Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) system for helping English as a Second Language (ESL) students learn to determine the countability of English nouns. The countability of an English noun determines whether the noun needs number distinction or not. Determining the countability of English nouns is difficult for many Asian students. It is especially problematic for Japanese students because of the difference between what is countable in Japanese and in English. The traditional way of teaching the countability system by categorizing nouns based on their features is not effective for ESL students because each category tends to include some exceptions (e.g. Food category is non-countable; "Potato" is countable.) and does not adequately explain why many nouns can be both countable and non-countable. Another problem is that it assumes that ESL students have the same view about nouns as native English speakers do, so it tends to ask questions, such as "is it specific? "is it too small to count?," which are answered differently depending on their native languages. A new model of the countability system was designed to help determine the countability of English nouns in context by classifying each use of a noun into one of four categories. The DeCEN system introduces students to the new model and, through exercises, helps students develop their own reasoning habits in determining countability by using the model. The program can provide help based on students' answers and chooses the next exercise based on their performance. Therefore the program functions as a tutor. DeCEN is a Java applet that can be used from anywhere via the Internet. Its skeletal version can be used as an authoring tool to create other tutors. This thesis describes each stage of the project, provides details of the system, and concludes with the results of a formative evaluation of the system by actual ESL students.

It is the first book to present a comprehensive investigation into grammatical metaphor in English clause combining in large-size corpora. By providing a systematic illustration of features such as parataxis, hypotaxis and embedding, it fills a gap in the systemic functional literature. It also offers insights into testing grammatical metaphors using a corpus linguistics methodology. The book is a useful resource for anyone interested in writing development.

'My first English lesson was grammar with the terrifying Mrs Petrie. She spent the entire time marching up and down the classroom, thwacking various items of school furniture with a ruler while she banged on about the ING part of the verb. I sat there, vibrating with fear, desperately trying to figure out what on earth she could mean. Irregular Negative Gerund? Intransitive Nominative Genitive? It was only years later, when I was teaching English to foreign students, that I realised that English grammar wasn't obscure and wilfully difficult but a fascinating subject which I was already brilliant at - and this book will prove that you are too.' Forget the little you think you know about English grammar and start afresh with this highly entertaining and accessible guide. English for the Natives outlines the rules and structures of our language as they are taught to foreign students - and have never before been explained to us. Harry Ritchie also examines the grammar of dialects as well as standard English and shows how non-standard forms are just as valid. With examples from a wide variety of sources, from Ali G to John Betjeman, Margaret Thatcher to Match of the Day, this essential book reveals some surprising truths about our language and teaches you all the things you didn't know you knew about grammar.

Linguistics For Translators written by Ali Almanna and has been published by Taylor & Francis this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2023-12-22 with Language Arts & Disciplines categories.

This engaging and accessible textbook, by two leading experts, is a carefully crafted introduction to linguistics for translators, students, and researchers of translation. Starting with basic concepts and gradually moving readers to the central questions in different branches of linguistics, examples are drawn from English and many other languages, including German, Arabic, Kurdish, Swahili, French, and Chinese. The key areas of linguistics are covered from morphology and syntax to semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, stylistics, sociolinguistics, and cognitive linguistics. Striking a balance between theoretical developments and empirical investigation, readers gain both a comprehensive overview of linguistics and how it informs their work in translation and learn how to argue for analysis and annotate their own answers and translations academically. Each chapter provides the reader with an overview outlining the main points and technical words used in the chapter as well as illustrative examples, recommended readings, and resources and activities to test knowledge. This is the ideal textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students of translation in Translation Studies, Linguistics, and Modern languages.
