Ljudi kao društvena bića skloni su uspostavljanju i razvoju međusobne komunikacije putem koje mijenjaju iskustva, znanja i naučna dostignuća gradeći i usavršavajući tako svoje kulture i civilizacije. Pozitivna komunikacija se može tumačiti i determinirati višejako, međutim, najadekvatniji imenitelj takvih procesa je ni manje ni više doli dijalog civilizacija i, naravno, religija koje se kroz širenje ideja o miru, suživotu i toleranciji promoviraju u najistaknutije graditelje civilizacije. S obzirom na ovakav pogled na dijalog religija i civilizacija, možemo zaključiti da je ideja o Dijalogu civilizacija, ustvari, samo konstatacija postojećeg stanja čije pozitivne odlike – uvažavajući distancu od radikalizama svake vrste – treba dodatno intenzivirati i uprijemčiti. Pa ipak, ova ideja je izrazito pozitivna posebno kada se u obzir uzme povijesni kontekst njenoga javljanja koji je dobrano obojen – a zašto ne reći i uzdrman – tvrdnjama o sukobu civilizacija. S obzirom na historiografske činjenice o brojnim inter i entrareligijskim nesuglasicama pa i raskolima, u ovom istraživanju je neophodno, u potrazi za dokazima o dijalogu religija i civilizacija, definirati osnovne karakteristike zajedničkih religijskih učenja koje kroz iskrena vjerska osjećanja reguliraju definiciju tolerancije primjenjivu na sadržaj svih monoteističkih učenja i, naravno, primjere koji dokazuju egzistenciju religijske tolerancije kroz stoljeća. Možda i ponajbolji pokazatelj i baštinik tolerantnih religijskih misli jeste usmena i pismena književnost u kojoj se susreću religijske misli i emocije, ljubav i razum, te poštovanje za sebe i svijet oko sebe. Čuveni pjesnik Dželaludin Rumi Mevlana, kroz svoja dijela, pa tako i glasovito moralno-didaktičko djelo, Mesneviju, zastupa i promoviše dijalog, toleranciju i suživot. Pojmovi kao što su dijalog, tolerancija i suživot, u aktuelnom značenju, bili su važni kroz čitavu ljudsku historiju, dok je književnost imala izuzetnu ulogu u isticanju i promovisanju istih. Naravno, ta se uloga manifestovala i još uvijek dobrano manifestuje kroz priče protkane brojnim alegorijama i metaforama koje i danas mogu biti vodilja u prosperitetu i napretku čovječanstva, čuvanju i promicanju tolerancije i suživota.

This presentation accounts for the syntax of the prenominal determiner-like free morpheme cel in Romanian, which introduces definite DPs. Importantly, the prototypical definite article in Romanian is a suffix that attaches to prenominal adjectives and nouns, (1). Conversely, cel is a free morpheme that must immediately precede prenominal quantifiers, (2). Although the definite suffix and cel are different, their absence in the DP renders the DP indefinite, (3). Moreover, the presence of prenominal cel in the DP renders it definite, even in the absence of the enclitic definite article, (2). In order to account for the correlation between prenominal cel and definiteness, Cornilescu (1992, 2004) proposes that prenominal cel is a definite article in D0 inserted as a last resort when agreement between D0 and the noun or a prenominal adjective is blocked by an intervening numeral or quantifier phrase. (1) fete-le destepte (2) cele *(doua) (destepte) fete (3) doua fete girls-the pl.f. smart cel-pl.f. two smart girls two girls “the smart girls” “the two (smart) girls” “two girls” Conversely, we claim that cel is not a definite article in D0; cel and the XP following it form a constituent, celP, that is adjoined below D0 in the same position as demonstratives; and celP can license a [+def.] feature in D0, a mechanism independently needed to account for demonstratives. Evidence comes from the syntactic distribution and properties of cel relative to other elements in the DP and their movement. Crucial pieces of evidence are provided by new data, which are not in the literature, to my knowledge. Insight into the syntax of prenominal cel contributes a better understanding of the syntactic structure, constituents and movement in the higher domain of the DP, particularly head movement of A0/N0 as proposed by Ungureanu (2004, 2009) and Travis and Ungureanu (2008).

This presentation reports the results of a small pilot study that tests the second language acquisition (SLA) of features associated with a functional category: the accusative clitic in accusative clitic doubling constructions, as in (1). The second language (L2) is Spanish and the first language (L1) is Romanian. (1) Todos lo felicitan al professor por su conferencia Everyone cl.acc/3/sg/m congratulate to/PPthe professor for his lecture ‘Everyone congratulates the professor for his lecture’ Both languages have clitics; hence, no predictions are made about the acquisition of clitics. Rather, the study centers on the features associated with the accusative clitic in accusative clitic doubling constructions. In Romanian, the clitic is associated with a [+human] [+specific] nominal, while in Spanish the clitic is associated with a [+animate] [+definite] [specific] nominal. It is this distinction in features between the two languages that is considered here. Along with the No Impairment Hypothesis, I show that features of functional categories can be reset: second language learners can acquire feature values of functional categories. In opposition, under the Failed Features Hypothesis, acquisition is restricted to L1 parameters; inter language (IL) grammars are characterized by the use of L1 functional categories, features and feature values; and L2 learners do not acquire L2 functional categories, their features, or their feature values. Moreover, the Local Impairment Hypothesis argues that functional categories are acquired but their feature values are underspecified, resulting in a grammar that is unlike L1 and L2. This study shows that the features relevant to accusative clitic doubling are reset in L2. Since our focus is on ultimate attainment of feature values, the successful acquisition of L2 features by even one learner proves that feature values are reset, resulting in an IL that is similar to L2. Thus, L2 learners have unimpaired access to parameters of Universal Grammar. Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2012-05 Keywords Keywords.

English for Academic Purposes (EAP) has become an expanding discipline within universities worldwide. Abundant research has been devoted to the study of EAP in various academic settings, and yet no studies have been conducted to investigate the academic English use in military settings, thus making the undertaking of this study significant. This paper investigated the English academic needs of 42 officers working at King Fahd Security College (KFSC) in Saudi Arabia. The participants' military ranks were 20 1st lieutenants, 14 Captains, 7 Majors and 1 lieutenant colonel. A questionnaire was developed, piloted and used to collect data about the officers' self-rating of their ability to use EAP, their need for training on using EAP, their frequent use of EAP skills, and the importance of EAP skills. Overall, the results showed that KFSC officers did not receive training on how to use EAP, and the curriculum in the English courses they had completed was not consistent with their perceived academic needs. Despite this, many of the officers described their ability to use EAP as moderate. The participants showed awareness of the graduate requirements that await them; that is, they rated some academic skills such as writing proposals and theses, communicating with academic advises as the most important skills. Based on these findings, the study concluded with general guidelines for the development and implementation of an EAP program at KFSC.

As an academic genre, an abstract is an obligatory step that researchers across disciplines and languages should write to join their discourse community. Therefore, genre analysts have broadly employed move analysis in identifying the rhetorical structures and variations in research article abstracts (RAAs) from a specific discipline and across disciplinary areas. Analysis of RAAs has seldom been involved in cross‐cultural studies, and never been conducted on police and security RAAs. Hence, this study examined the rhetorical structures of RAAs in police and security sciences, and across two languages, Arabic and English. The corpus consisted of 30 Arabic RAAs and 30 English RAAs. The data was analyzed using three move models: Swales' (1990, 2004) modified CARS, Bhatia's (1993) four-move structure and Hyland's (2000) five-move structure. The results showed that many of the RAAs in Arabic and English police and security journals embrace Bhatia's (1993) first three moves: purpose, method, and result, and Hyland's (2000) first four moves: introduction, purpose, method, and results. However, most of these RAAs omitted the conclusion move. For almost half of Arabic RAAs, the method section was optional. In contrast, most the English RAAs had the method section as an obligatory step. With regard to Swales' model, the RAAs in both languages did not use all moves. Many of the Arabic RAAs used Move 1 (step 1): Claiming centrality, Move 3 (Step 1A): Outlining purpose, and Move 3 (Step 2): Announcing principle findings. The English RAAs varied in their use of moves and did not favor one pattern of moves. Move 3 (Steps 1A and 2) was found to be obligatory in the English RAAs. Due to the variation in the use of moves across the two languages; it is not possible to conclude that cross-cultural factors affected the way RAAs were written.

Alan Paton, in Cry, the Beloved Country, heightens sensitivities throughout the world to the unrelenting, legalized racial discrimination in South Africa. Not onlydoes he dramatically portray the exploitation of native black people in a country where they have always been the majority, but he also creates a hopeful view of bringing change about through compassion and empowerment rather than through violence. He presents this vision at a time when the issue was unpopular with white people in many nations and through a story that is more revelatory than shocking or inflammatory. Stephen Kumalo clearly represents the native black South African from a traditional tribal community, specifically a Zulu tradition. He has the naiveté of the humble country parson with little worldly experience out of his familiar environment. Some literary critics would call him the suffering hero: He must experience suffering before he attains a complete awareness of life and makes the most of his talent and creativity. Even his first name recalls the Christian saint who underwent martyrdom through suffering. Stephen is not without faults. He has his share of pride (as first seen when he boards the train and pretends to be someone of importance) and even a measure of quick anger (as seen with Gertrude, Absalom, and John). As the story begins, Stephen’s attitude toward the socio-political situation around him is somewhat detached. James Jarvis, too, is revealed through his words and actions. The readers suffer with him through the tragedy of his son’s death and learn that he is very human in his own grief and suffering, yet not quick to vengeance or retaliation.

Mark Twain, through his modern "Yankee," reveals to his readers the underlying desire to overcome the very material world he apparently wants to instantiate. Although the Yankee seems a modern man who simply wants to create the conditions in Arthurian England by which his body will be most comfortable, both his zeal for this project and the trajectory of his soul's course during the book betray an underlying hope to overcome his "mortal coil" through first technological and then political projects. In charting the impetus and evolution of the Yankee's psychology for us, Twain teaches us much about the nature of the "modern project"-its underlying hopes and its potential for dangerous, even totalitarian, excesses. As appealing as the starkly contrasting Arthurians might be, given this insight, Twain does not ultimately endorse this position but shows that its explicit claim does not ultimately satisfy our desire for noninstrumental goods. The paper tries to trace how the yankee is affected by his belief in technology and politics.

The world of Tom Sawyer--Mark Twain's remembered and reinvented world of childhood--seems to be piquant and pleasant mainly because it is seen in a bright world set off by the shadowy terrors of danger, death and conformity. Young Tom--and indirectly through him the self-recreated young Sam Clemens--appears to exist on the manic edge beyond which lurks the menace of destruction and the unknown. Tom is a manchild continually living at risk in this child's world where the adults often appear to be custom-bound conformists with whom Tom has no quarrel provided they do not threaten him or interfere too much with the hijinks he shares with his juvenile companions. Inevitably, however, he is nourished by the values of this adult world. This paper is an attempt to show that The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is constructed on a loose framework whose major elements include games of death and games of resurrection. (Both meanings of resurrection apply here: resurrection as grave robbing and resurrection as return to life from apparent death.) The novel reflects Twain's idealized dream world of youth in which the games of death may still be played as an innocent form of pure adventure.

Author Author Mohammad , Exir Abstract A summary of the resource. The relationship between the obsessed one and the object of obsession is not based on caring. It is based on power, a show of brutishness, a game of ego. The possession needs to be absolute, to the point of excluding everyone else, and the obsessed attempts to demonstrate it all the time to get any pleasure from it. The obsessed is not concerned if this oppresses or even hurts the object of obsession. Wuthering Heights is a psychological study of a man, named Heathcliff, whose soul is torn between the two opposing passions of love and hate. Instead of the psychologically stable world of character, based on the authority of the will and the security of accepted values, Wuthering Heights illustrates a world, psychologically, of compulsion, coercion, obsession, sadism, fanaticism, self-harm and addiction. Despite Heathcliff’s sadism, he is however satanic chiefly in his wounded pride. His obsessive love for Catherine is the single principle of his being. This passion is so enormous and so destructive, of everyone, that it seems insufficient and improper to call it love. The capacity for love is in contrast with the ability to hate. Heathcliff hates with a vengeance. He initially aims at Hindley as the object of vengeance and hate, then at Edgar, and then to a certain extent, at Catherine. Because of his hate, Heathcliff’s resort to revenge is another consequence in the novel. Hate and revenge interweave with selfishness to reveal the conflicting emotions that force people to do things that are not particularly nice or rationale. This paper is an attempt to give a clear picture of the sources and consequences of the obsessive love-hate relationship among characters in the novel, paying close attention to the concepts of Romantic love and Demonic love.
