...The morphology and semantics of Filipino Language spoken by the youth today lingo in Angono, Binangonan, Taytay and Cainta. Related Literature The number of homosexuals in the Philippines continuous to grow and they are in the mainstream of about almost everything. Gays are creative and talented. Even the language that they are using cannot be simply overlooked at. Using their creativity and wit, they were able to make the language much more colorful and meaningful. Now a days, gay lingo is no longer exclusive to homosexuals but slowly accepted by the Philippine Community. Yes, it has been accepted in the past recent years. In the talk show ‘Katok mga Misis!’ of Giovanni Calvo and Ali Sotto. On their segment ‘word of the day’ they feature a gay word which became a household word in the Eighties. The coining of the word ‘badaf’ which means babae dafat and ma at pa for the contracted malay ko at pakialam ko (Ladlad 2, pp.42, 23). Another example of variety show which showcase our openness for the Homosexual is ‘It’s ShowTime’ in ABS-CBN, with one of the hosts, Vice Ganda. (https://ph.news.yahoo.com/vice-ganda-slang-dictionary-083641238.html) There is his invention of distinct and initially perplexing words to add to the "gay lingo." These have eventually been picked up not only by other stars themselves but also by normal Netizens and rabid showbiz fans in their daily conversations. Sample words are: “Shunga" While it has been a term that's already been widely used long...

...Linguistics Assessment of a Young Child’s Language Melissa Ozuna California State University, Los Angeles Questions: 1, 5, 7, 8, 12 The Linguistic Assessment of a Young Child’s Language Introduction “The child begins to perceive the world not only through his eyes but also through his speech.” Like Lev Vygotsky, Holmes speaks about one of the everyday behavior we use and that’s language. Communication is done by engaging our brains and bodies to make sounds and transfer one person’s thoughts to another. No matter how many languages there are, language can still be broken down into the same building blocks of communication. Specifically, linguistics is analyzed with one of the smallest building blocks like phonology, to lexicon, to syntax, to morphology, and communicative competence. Just how small these building blocks of linguistics come together at its own pace, is exactly how small it is to learn language. Language learning can be done at its own pace, but with the help of assessments there are common turning points, procedures, and phases one can follow to truly understand an individual’s language development over time. Method Participants Rita is a 3 year and two month old female. She is the second child of the family living under the roof with both parents. Father works at a Police station and mother’s occupation is at a office profession. From her beginning till her present days she has spoken 100% English.

...Morphological typology refers to the nomenclature of the method used to classify languages depending on the way in which their morphemes are joined together. In one side of the spectrum we can find analytic languages, which only use isolated morphemes. Then we would have agglutinative languages and fusional languages which use bound morphemes, melting them together in order to convey several meanings. Located on the other side of the spectrum are the so called polysynthetic languages, which compress lots of separate morphemes into single words. Nevertheless, before getting into depth in the morphological typology of languages, and also the patterns of word formation, it must be explained the core concept covered within this paper: the concept of word. Although it may seem simplistic, the study and analysis of this concept entails certain difficulty and may vary from one culture/language to another. Most scholars make a distinction between phonological and grammatical word as principal distinctions. A phonological word can be defined as a prosodic unit not smaller than a syllable (Aikhenvald). It is a string of sounds that behaves as a unit for certain kinds of phonological processes, especially stress and accent. Normally, it is not needed to make a distinction between these two types of words in utterances like linguistics or science. However, there are cases in which this differentiation arises as necessary. For example, in English every phonological word has a main...

...Why Do We Gesture When We Speak? Robert M. Krauss Columbia University This is a pre-editing version of a paper published as: Krauss, R.M. (1998). Why do we gesture when we speak? Current Directions in Psychological Science 7, 5459. CD.3 July 30, 2001 Why Do We Gesture When We Speak? Robert M. Krauss1 Columbia University Students of human nature traditionally have considered conversational gestures—unplanned, articulate hand movements that accompany spontaneous speech— to be a medium for conveying semantic information, the visual counterpart of words.2 Over a century ago, Sir Francis Bacon put the relationship of gesture and language in the form of a simple analogy: "As the tongue speaketh to the ear, so the gesture speaketh to the eye" (Bacon, 1891). Although the extent to which gestures serve a communicative function is presently a matter of some controversy,3 there is accumulating evidence that communication is not the only function such gestures serve. Over the past several years my colleagues and I have explored the hypothesis, casually suggested by a remarkably diverse group of writers over the past 60 years, that gestures help speakers formulate coherent speech by aiding in the retrieval of elusive words from lexical memory. How might gesturing affect lexical retrieval? Human memory employs several different formats to represent knowledge, and much of the content of 1Address correspondence to Robert M.

...the extract “in search of the perfect sausage” the contextual factors that may affect the language used are; the mode, the tenor, the field and the function. This extract is written to inform and entertain but in non-standard English. For example “stickyish” and “marmitey”. These show that the writer wants to write her account of her search in way that will relate to his readers also it shows that the text is informal as oppose to being formal. The mode of this text is written. The field of the text is to describe to someone what kind of sausage they see as their “perfect sausage” and they go into great detail about every little thing that needs to be considered when in search of the perfect sausage. There are a few interesting uses of morphology in this text. An example would be “coarsely”, this word is a free morpheme “coarse” attached to a bound morpheme “ly” to create the word “coarsely”. There are more than a few free morphemes within the text and no bound morphemes because a bound morpheme has to be attached to a free morpheme in order to make sense. I’m not sure whether this would be a correct morpheme or even if it is a correct use of a lexis but the word “stickyish” would be a free and bound morpheme attached; “sticky” and “ish”. The word stickyish means not really sticky but sticky enough and it is used in this field to describe a sausage. This text isn’t written in past tense but I wouldn’t say it was written in present tense either because he is describing what he would...

...Real-Time Hand Tracking for HumanComputer Interaction Ayush Tripathi, Kanishk Puri, Nilesh Srivastava, Prateek Dham (Students) Mrs S.S Dhotre(Professor) Computer Science Department Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University College of Engineering Pune, Maharashtra(India) Abstract- The proposed work is part of a project that aims for the control of a mouse based on hand gesture recognition. This goal implies the restriction of real-time response and unconstrained environments. This is basically a vision based skincolour segmentation method for moving hand in real time application [3]. This algorithm is based on three main steps: hand segmentation, hand tracking and gesture recognition from hand features. For the hand segmentation step we use the colour cue due to the characteristic colour values of human [1]. The hands are recognized by the computer using the skin colour as one of the basic features for the hand recognition. The important feature is the accurate segmentation of hands [3]. I. Introduction Nowadays, the majority of the human-computer interaction (HCI) is based on mechanical devices such as keyboards, mouse, joysticks or gamepads. In recent years there has been a growing interest in a class of methods based on computational vision due to its ability to recognise human gestures in a natural way .These methods use as input the images acquired from a camera or from a stereo pair of cameras. The main goal of these algorithms is to measure the hand configuration...

...The objectives of this research were to evaluate germination response of two Handroanthus species to varying conditions of temperature and substrate and to study its post-seminal morphology, showing normal and abnormal seedling patterns, to provide better ways for laboratory test interpretations. Both Bignoniaceae species, Handroanthus heptaphyllus Mattos and H. impetiginosus Mattos, are characterized by an arboreal habit and a remarkable flowering preceded by intense leaf fall at the beginning of the dry season. Because of the latter feature, they have been used as ornamental trees in urban afforestation (Lorenzi, 1992). Their green-brown wood is extremely heavy and hard. For restrictions on the use of chemically treated woods of temperate origin, some of this species (i.e. H. impetiginosus) are the most marketed Amazonian wood species in the USA (Schulze et al., 2008). Despite increasing commercial interest of timber companies, its species have been under severe threat because (i) the overexploitation of its timber forest product, (ii) severe fragmentation and habitat destruction where the species grows and (iii) the impacts of climate change (Nepstad et al. 2004; Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity, 2009). Both Handroanthus were indicated as prioritized tree species for genetic conservation initiatives in Brazil (FAO, 2012)....

...1 Select a suitable pot for your cutting. You might want to use a normal-sized flower pot for one plant or you can even establish a number of cuttings in the same pot, planted apart from each other. Seedling tubes are also a good idea for many plants. 2 Prepare the pot. Get a plastic (polythene bag) and place gravel at the base of the bag. The pot will be placed in here after you have made the cutting. Fill the pot with suitable soil - sand and peat for drainage make an ideal combination for many plants. Finally, the pot must be able to drain well (the water will go onto the gravel, rather than pooling in the plastic bag). 3 Cut a firm, young shoot from the current season's growth. Cut it off just below a leaf or joint (node). 4 Prepare the cutting. Once you have cut the plant piece, strip or cut off any leaves on the lower half. You can strip or cut off as high as two-thirds if necessary. If the bark looks like it will tear, use scissors. You can also make a small incision to the lower end of the stem to encourage root growth from this "wound". 5 Insert the cutting into sand and peat in the pot. Use a skewer, pencil or similar long object to create a hole for the cutting to sit in. Do not use the cutting itself to push in a hole or you will damage it. The idea is to gently drop the cutting into the hole and carefully in-fill with dirt. 6 Place both the pot and the cutting into the bag. Make sure that the pot is sitting snugly on the gravel. 7 Tie the...

...French Broom (Genista Monspessulana) Technical Report Genista Monspessulana, commonly known as French Broom, is a Class A weed located on the western coast of the United States. Its appearance is that of a large shrub with yellow, pea-like flowers and small oval leaves in groups of three. It is commonly under 3 meters tall. Its stems are erect, dense, and green or brown densely covered with silky, silvery hairs (U.S.F.S. 2014). It is typically leafy with leaflets ranging from 10mm to 20 mm long and petioles about 5 mm long(U.S.F.S. 2014). There are normally 4 to 10 pea-like flowers about 5mm to 7 mm long on axillary pedicels 1mm to 3 mm long (U.S.F.S. 2014). The fruit is a legume ranging from 15mm to 25 mm long and 5 mm wide with 3 to 8 seeds per pod (U.S.F.S. 2014). French broom seeds are round and generally have elaiosomes attached to them. French Broom is an angiosperm and its flower has four main parts, the sepals, the petals, the stamen or male part, and the pistil or female part (Reece et al. 2014). In order for fertilization to occur insects or other animals must transport the pollen from the stamen to the pistil (Lambers 2014). An angiosperm ovule, located in the pistil, contains an egg cell and a diploid fusion nucleus, when pollen comes into contact with the top of the pistil it sends it down into the ovary at the pistil's base (Lambers 2014). As the pollen penetrates the ovule, it releases two sperm cells, one fuses with the egg to create a diploid zygote, while...

...Title: Seed Plants 2: Angiosperms Aim: To draw and label six diagrams related to flowering plants Introduction: Angiosperms are flowering, fruit-bearing plants or trees known for having ovules (and therefore seeds) developed within a closed ovary. Angiosperms are plants producing flowers. Thus, they are also commonly called as the flowering plants. They belong to the kingdom Plantae, subkingdom Embryophyta. They can be classified as monocotyledons and eudicotyledons. Characteristics of Angiosperms * The flowers serve as the reproductive organs for the plant.(exchanging genetic information) * They have small pollen grains that spread genetic information from flower to flower. * They have stamens- reproductive structures found in flowers that produce the pollen grains that carry the genetic information. * They have much smaller female reproductive parts, allowing them to produce seeds more quickly. * They have carpel that encloses developing seeds that may turn into fruit. * A great disadvantage is the production of endosperm. It is a material that forms after fertilisation and serves as a highly nutritional food source to the developing seed and seedling. The life cycle of Angiosperms They follow: * Seed * Germination * Sprout or seedling * Mature plant * Flowering Materials: * Flower for dissection (hibiscus flower) * Scalpel * Dissecting microscope * Prepared slide of young lily anther, c.s. * Prepared...
