...The native language of the Romans was Latin, an Italic language the grammar of which relies little on word order, conveying meaning through a system of affixes attached to word stems. Its alphabet was based on the Etruscan alphabet, which was in turn based on the Greek alphabet. Although surviving Latin literature consists almost entirely of Classical Latin, an artificial and highly stylized and polished literary language from the 1st century BC, the spoken language of the Roman Empire was Vulgar Latin, which significantly differed from Classical Latin in grammar and vocabulary, and eventually in pronunciation. While Latin remained the main written language of the Roman Empire, Greek came to be the language spoken by the well-educated elite,...

...We hear that Kevin is studying at a grammar school, and he has problems in latin classes. His father is a barman, and as Kevins mother says, they never got the chance of going to school, but his father would certainly have passed it, but his mother probably wouldn’t. Kevins mother doesn’t seem to have a education, but she might have a job, but we doesn’t hear about that. The Sweenys is a not a wealthy family, but they’re not concerned about money, which mean that they aren’t poor, but it’s not possible to make more money than they currently are, so there is no need for concern. Money isn’t a subject of conversation at the Sweenys, it is a well functioning family. The boy and his father have a relationship which isn’t characterised by a paternal dominance, the way they talk to each other is reflecting that. Kevins father, whos name we doesen’t know, is a calm type and is pleasant for the boy and his brothers to be around, and they to admire him, as in when he gets home from work, sits in his chair and simply commands “Slippers”, and the boys come as faithful dogs, to take of his shoes and put on his slippers. His father helps him with some latin grammar, as he is in a hurry to get to work, and Kevin trusts his father with deep faith, so he is sure that it must be correct, but at school he is picked out by the strict and respect demanding teacher, Waldo. He slowly and reads up the latin grammar his father gave him, but they were all wrong. But Kevin shows that...

...Vernacular Language in the 12th Century Michelle Hinton Lisa Feder 6/15/12 Abstract “Latin was the official language of law, government, business, education and religion in Western Europe” (http://www.ucalgary.ca/applied _history/tutor/endmiddle/langlit.html ) the universal catholic culture. The French would be the first to spread the Vernacular Language. The shift from Latin to Vernacular was very important. Throughout the former empire, languages started to develop and would become what we now know as Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, etc. They were known then in the beginning as Vernacular tongues. Christianity in all its form was in Latin only. The common people and even some of the elite could not speak or read Latin, there for the Vernacular Language became an alphabet and literature so the people could use the language they knew. Even though the Latin Language had begun to be translated to the Vernacular Language in the 10th Century amongst the Slavic Orthodox Christian community Latin was still the dominant language within the educated community, until the 12th century. (Sayer, 2010). The Vernacular Language was spoken in the streets, a language known as the (meaning “of the people”) (ucalgary). It was a way for different cultures to stabilize and bind there cultures together. Each city had their own Vernacular Language. In the 12th Century the French were amongst the first to spread the Vernacular Language in righting’s such as “the Song of...

...Topics in Cultural Studies HUMA215-1301A-36 Vernacular language is native of a particular group, region or country; mainly spoken as opposed to written. Until the 12th century, Latin was the language used among the educated and within literature. It is no surprise that Latin had such an impact on the medieval world. Latin owes its dominance to the rise of the Roman Empire from several hundred years B.C. to its demise around 1200 A.D. All through the time that it reigned supreme, Rome exported not only its values, architecture, law and art, but also its language. When the empire began to fall, the Latin language began to lose its hold on the people of Europe and North Africa. Since the empire began shrinking as early as the eighth and ninth century it is not surprising that the people living furthest from Rome itself were the first to undergo a cultural and ethnic revival, an integral part of this revival would be the use of their own vernacular language rather than the use of Latin. Latin became widely spread with the expansion of the Roman Empire. Latin eventually became the dominant the dominant language in the western half of the Empire. There were several Italic languages all belonging to the Indo-European linguistic family, Latin was among languages and its development was influenced by other tongues, including Celtic, Etruscan and Greek languages. All languages undergo development and changes and in each period of its evolution...

...AIU Online September 19, 2012 Unit 2 Individual Project Latin was a large impact on the medieval ways. For very many years it was dominating the western world. The Latin language spread wherever the Roman Empire ruled. Around 1200 A.D. the empire began to fall and the Latin language began to fade. The people farthest away began to undergo the changes first and the ethical renewal began. Many individuals choose to use their vernacular language rather than Latin. In England they returned to old English with great influence from Alfred the Great. While in power he had written many books in old English; including many religious pieces. Beowulf and the Anglo Saxton Chronicles are also examples of literature written in old English. These pieces incorporated Latin characters. The English had many vernaculars during this time period. Your vernacular language depended on you social class. Lower classes tended to speak English. Traveling entertainers and many judicial situations utilized the vernacular in spoken form in France. A large percentage of the vernacular in France was romance; which stemmed from individuals jotting down stories as they were told by musicians that were passing through. Some of the oldest pieces date back to Charlemagne during the twelfth century. Germany used vernacular as early as the eighth century. Many attempts made to convert failed and was not accepted. During the 12th century many of the...

...philosophy, science and mathematics, medicine, drama, and poetry profoundly. It has served as a basic model for the development of later European literatures and, consequently, the writings of the historians, geographers, philosophers, scientists, and rhetoricians are read today as sources of historical information and enjoyment. Alfred Whitehead, the famous British philosopher-mathematician, once commented that: “[A]ll philosophy is but a footnote to Plato” (Comptons Encyclopedia). A similar point can be made regarding Greek literature as a whole. The Greek world of thought was far ranging and ideas discussed today have been previously debated by ancient writers. In fact, until recently, in Western culture, an acquaintance with classical Latin (as well as Greek) literature was basic to a liberal education. Roman literature such as epic and lyric poetry, rhetoric, history, comic drama and satire (the last genre being the only literary form that the Romans invented) serve as today’s backbone for a basic understanding of expression and artistic creativity, as well as history. Greek comedies such as those of Naevius and Andronicus, as well as historical writings in epic poems (First Punic War), tell the story of Rome and its conquests and served as prototypes for Aroman epics. Later poets imitated early Roman writers as they used these early writings for springboards into further development of drama. For example, Plautus’s lively plays were a model for much subsequent European...

...Parte de nuestros males proviene de que hay demasiados hombres vergonzosamente ricos o desesperadamente pobres. Hoy en día, por suerte, tiende a establecerse el equilibrio entre los dos extremos; las colosales fortunas de emperadores y libertos son cosa pasada; Trimalción y Nerón han muerto. Pero un inteligente reajuste económico del mundo está todavía por hacerse. Cuando subí al poder renuncié a las contribuciones voluntarias ofrecidas al emperador por las ciudades, y que no son más que un robo disfrazado. Te aconsejo que también renuncies a ellas cuando te llegue el día. La anulación completa de las deudas de los particulares al Estado era una medida más osada, pero igualmente necesaria para hacer tabla rasa después de diez años de economía de guerra. Nuestra moneda se ha devaluado peligrosamente a lo largo de un siglo, y sin embargo la eternidad de Roma está tasada por nuestras monedas de oro; preciso es, entonces, devolverles su valor y su peso, sólidamente respaldados en 2 las cosas. Nuestras tierras se cultivan al azar; tan sólo dos distritos privilegiados — Egipto, el África, la Toscana y algunos otros— han sabido crear comunidades campesinas que conocen a fondo el cultivo del trigo o de la vid. Una de mis preocupaciones consistía en sostener esa clase, que me proporcionaría instructores destinados a las poblaciones rurales más primitivas o más rutinarias. Acabé con el escándalo de las tierras dejadas en barbecho por los grandes propietarios indiferentes al bien...

...MMLS NOTES: Possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns Introduction: Possessive pronouns are used to show ownership. They indicate who the owner of a certain thing is. Those Pronouns can accompany, describe and replace a noun. When they accompany and describe a noun they are also known as Possessive Adjectives. Example: • Mi coche es nuevo – My car is new (observe that “mi” accompanies and describes the noun “coche”) Possessive pronouns used after nouns can also be used alone, without the noun they’re referring to. When they replace the noun and are used alone, they are accompanied by definite articles (except if they come after verb to be) or by the neutral article and have masculine, feminine, singular and plural forms. Example: • Mi coche es nuevo. El tuyo es viejo – My car is new. Yours is old. (In the first sentence “mi” accompanies and describes the object “coche”. In the second sentence observe that “tuyo” is masculine, replaces the word “coche” and it is used along with the definite article “el”) Very important: Possessive adjectives agree in number with the possessed thing, not with the owner except for nosotros-a and vosotros-as which the possessive adjectives form agrees with the nouns in gender also. Observe the table. |Person |English |Possessive Adjectives-|Possessive Adjectives– Plural | | | |Singular...

...L’Erin Ferguson HITT1305 Lesson 1.1 1. Identify and define the four basic word parts and their purpose associated with medical terms. Give an example of each word part, a definition of each part and cite a medical term that demonstrates correct usage of the word part. In medical terminology there are four basic word parts. They are word root, prefix, suffix and combing vowel. While each has its own functions they come together to make an endless array of words to describe many different medical terms that are helpful for reporting and transcription purposes. Word roots will never change its meaning. The purpose of word roots help you to determine the origin or subject of that word making reference to it in regard to the medical term. The definition of a word root, is a word that does not have a prefix or a suffix and is determined as the base word. Some even refer to it as a stem word. For example, aden/o meaning gland used to make the word adenocarcinoma. Adecarcinoma means a malignant tumor formed from glandular structures in epithelial tissue. Prefixes begin at the being of a word and is often incorporated to change the meaning of that word .The definition of a prefix is an affix paced before the stem of a word. It can be a word, letter, or a number. The prefix ab which means “away from” added to oral produces the word aboral (away from mouth).In addition, a suffix is attached to the end of a word root. All medical terms has a suffix unless the word root creates a word...

...By considering the connections between the texts, we gain an insight into the way values have changed over time. To what extent is this true of the two texts you have studied? (Minimum any 2 scenes, 4 quotes and roughly 1200 words) It is the relationship between context, text and responder that helps the audience to create meaning from a text. Through Pacino recontextualising Shakespeare’s Richard III, the audience is able to develop a better understanding and newfound appreciation of Shakespeare’s text. By comparing the structure and language of both texts the responder is able to go on their own journey of understanding and interpretation. Pacino builds a bridge that enables us to cross over and understand Shakespeare’s context. Pacino develops our understanding of ‘Richard III’ and helps us to recognize how values can be encoded within a text. This can be seen through the different values, beliefs and attitudes towards women reflected in Richard III texts in Act 1 scene 2. The wooing of Lady Anne demonstrates the climax of Richard’s role as a villain. The stichomythic language engages the audience which allows us to be seduced by Richard, for example when Lady Anne say, ‘‘o wonderful, when devils tell the truth’ and Richard replies ‘More wonderful, when angels are so angry’. This short declarative verbal exchange creates momentum in the scene resulting in the audience being in a state of anticipation. It reveals the power of language to persuade and Richard is able to capture...

...you stare at a blank screen and flashing cursor and are unable to write. The best solution is to brainstorm and write down anything that pops into your head, and to keep on writing. Do not worry about typos or spelling errors because you can fix them later. Above all, resist the temptation to edit continually the few words you have written because over-editing will drain the life out of what you are writing. The important thing is to get your ideas on paper. Delete with caution. It’s all too easy to delete a paragraph, and then realize five minutes later that you need it back. Hence, instead of deleting a large block of text, move it to the end of a document or writing it to another file, so that you can restore the text if you change your mind. A related practice is to remain in the insert mode (as opposed to the replacement mode) to prevent inadvertent deletion of text as new ideas are added. Save often. A loss of power, whether it is your fault or the power company's, can destroy a creative masterpiece. The best insurance is to save your work constantly and, in addition, to save your work whenever you are interrupted by a phone call, the doorbell, etc. Keep...
