Recapture Results and Classical Logic

AbstractAn old and well-known objection to non-classical logics is that they are too weak; in particular, they cannot prove a number of important mathematical results. A promising strategy to deal with this objection consists in proving so-called recapture results. Roughly, these results show that classical logic can be used in mathematics and other unproblematic contexts. However, the strategy faces some potential problems. First, typical recapture results are formulated in a purely logical language, and do not generalize nicely to languages containing the kind of vocabulary that usually motivates non-classical theories—for example, a language containing a naive truth predicate. Second, proofs of recapture results typically employ classical principles that are not valid in the targeted non-classical system; hence non-classical theorists do not seem entitled to those results. In this paper we analyse these problems and provide solutions on behalf of non-classical theorists. To address the first problem, we provide a novel kind of recapture result, which generalizes nicely to a truth-theoretic language. As for the second problem, we argue that it relies on an ambiguity, and that once the ambiguity is removed there are no reasons to think that non-classical logicians are not entitled to their recapture results.

Effects of English Proficiency on Chinese Students Recognition and Pronunciation of English Lexical Stress

English is a stress-timed language, stress is very important in English. However, Chinese is a tonal language, which leads to pronunciation difficulties for Chinese students in learning English. This study studies the recognition and production of English lexical stress by Chinese students who are not English majors and the factors that may affect stress assignments. Eight students between the ages of 18-22 (four males and four females) who have passed CET 6 will be tested, including a phonetic quiz and a listening test. Four kinds of vocabularies were selected as research materials: Polysyllabic Word, Word with Affixes, Compound Word, and Homograph. Results indicate that: (1) For non-English major students, the correlation between English proficiency and lexical stress is not high, but is mostly affected by personal reading habits; (2) Students know very little about the word stress. They identify and pronounce stress relying on their personal habits.

A corpus-linguistic analysis of the Agrokomerc scandal based on newspaper articles from Politika

The main purpose of this case study is to describe how corruption scandals; its actors and actions are linguistically conceptualized by the Serbian public word usage. The Agrokomerc scandal that was investigated from 1987 to 1989 in former Yugoslavia will serve as an example to show what kind of vocabulary as well as discourse-specific metaphors were used to describe the corruption scandal in the Serbian mass media. For this purpose, a text corpus was created that contains 137 articles from the Serbian newspaper Politika. The selected articles address the corruption scandal “Agrokomerc”. Data-driven, corpus linguistic methods will be used for this case study. This method enables the identification of concrete lexical units that can be further interpreted and used in a wider and interdisciplinary context.

Pemimpin dari Beberapa Tafsir

Being a leader is an easy thing, but being a good leader and being able to carry out the mandate or responsibility is not an easy matter. In Islam itself being a leader or caliph is one of the tasks and goals of humans so that Islam is so careful about matters of leadership. In various verses it is explained related to the concept of leadership, the characteristics of an ideal leader to how to choose a leader in Islam. by using the comparative method, this journal will examine the characteristics of a leader contained in several interpretations interpreted by interpreters. Many in the Qur'an mention the theme of leadership by using various kinds of vocabulary, each word of course has a different meaning and interpretation. Among other things, Hamka's interpretation in Surat al-Maidah verse 57 states that the Koran instructs Muslims not to elect leaders from non-Muslims. Buya Hamka in his commentary on al-Azhar further mentions that there are eight qualifications for leaders, namely: being Muslim, male, intellectual prowess, physical strength, trustworthiness, fairness, honesty and wisdom. As for Tafsir Tanwir from Muhammadiyah which makes Rasulullah and Prophet Ibrahim as examples of ideal leaders who need to be emulated and whose characteristics leaders need to have. According to Ibn Kathir's Interpretation, his interpretation does not merely forbid Muslims from choosing non-Muslims to be leaders, but also forbids even being made close friends, friends and also being appointed as administrators who take care of Muslim matters. According to Jawad Mughniyah in Al-Kasyif's interpretation, for the husband's leadership in the household, to lead his wife, not to become a ruler or dictator.

Mimimo-Flashcard: Vocabulary Learning Media Based on the Mimicry Memorization Method

The Mimicry-Memorization Method is considered one of the foreign language teaching methods, particularly in teaching vocabularies. It relies on repeating and remembering. The foremost advantages of this method are its’ ability to transfer various kinds of vocabularies, besides it is also last longer in the students’ memory, and is low budget. However, this research assumed that continuous repetition and habituation will cause boredom and even reduce students’ interest in learning a language. So, the study was aimed at designing the learning media based on the Memorization method in the form of flashcards to make learning prosses more fun. This research applied the Research and Development (RD) procedure with partially on the Analysis, Design, and Development. The data was collected through the observation, interviews, and distributing questionnaires to the teachers and students of the 12th-grade at MAN 10 Jombang. The result showed that the design of the mimimo-flashcard consists of hand-drawn images in the affixed to the-card. It has 10 themes with 9 related-vocabularies for each with 90 vocabulary words in total. The learning media validation from each material’s expert and design’s expert showed 84% and 90% and can be categorized as good and decent. The calculation result of the trials to determine the product's effectiveness in mastering vocabulary for both the Experiment and Control classes was considered effective with sig. (2-tailed) sig.0.05 = 0.000.

THE USE OF SMARTPHONES AS EXTRAMURAL ENGLISH LEARNING TO ENRICH EFL LEARNERS’ VOCABULARY

Smartphone has long been considered as a double-edged sword which has both positive and negative effects. Instead of banning the use of smartphones, a smart teacher has to be able to encourage EFL learners to use smartphones wisely to facilitate their learning. Smartphones enable the learners to use the language in a real situation outside the classroom, which is called Extramural English Learning. This kind of situation is believed to contribute to learners vocabularies. Learners’ ability to use various kinds of vocabulary, especially English academic words, will make a positive contribution to their writing. Employing a correlation design, the aim of the research was to investigate the correlation between the use of smartphones as extramural English learning and learners’ vocabularies focusing on English academic words. Questionnaire and writing test were used as instruments to collect the data from 35 undergraduate students of English department in East Java, Indonesia. The results of the data analysis by using Pearson Correlation confirmed the significant positive correlation between the use of smartphones as extramural English learning and learners’ vocabularies that indicated the benefit of extramural activities with smartphones on enriching learners’ vocabulary. Further, the pedagogical implication was also discussed.

THE ACQUISITION OF ENGLISH VOCABULARY BY KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS THROUGH CHILDREN SONGS

This research focuses on how the process of students in acquiring language. This study aims to find out kinds of vocabulary that the young learners acquire through children song and analyze how the internal and external factors influence the process of language acquisition. The data in this study were 10 students from Hooray School In collecting the data, observation method and questioners were used. Observation was conducted for three weeks and post-test is given to the students in the last meeting of each week. Questioners is given to the students’ parents to know information about factors influence the students in learning English. The result of this study showed that English children songs are effective media to be used in acquiring language for children. In this study, there are 2 songs introduced to the students. From the lyrics of those songs, they are able to acquire English vocabularies, such as shark, octopus, jellyfish, turtle, dolphin, seahore, swim, and sea. In acquiring languages, the students are influenced by some factors. The internal factors are age, experience and learning style. The external factors consist of motivation, instruction and access to foreign speakers. The students who are surrounded by an English speaking environment learn English vocabularies faster and easier than the other students who are not surrounded by an English speaking environment.

Chinese Translation Strategies of Japanese Mental Cultural Vocabulary from the Perspective of Adaptation Theory

Mental cultural vocabulary is a type of cultural vocabulary. This kind of vocabulary is a valuable carrier of the spiritual material culture of a nation or a country. The translation of these words can directly reflect the differences between different cultures, which plays an important role in cross-cultural communication. The translation strategies in dealing with mental cultural vocabulary translation is emphasized as it is a difficulty faced in translation practice. Based on the adaptation theory, this study analyzes the examples and translation from the perspective of dynamic adaptation as well as explains the adaptation at all levels in translation practice.

How much and what kind of vocabulary do marine engineers need for adequate comprehension of ship instruction books and manuals?

Considering the importance of adequate understanding of instruction books and manuals on board vessels all over the world, as well as the challenges it imposes to the English language teachers and course designers, this paper aims to answer important research questions in relation to the quantity and type of vocabulary required for their adequate reading comprehension. In this study we use the method of Lexical Frequency Profiling and the software developed by Anthony Laurence – AntWordProfiler 1.4.0w. The corpus is comprised of 1,769,821 running words obtained from instruction books and manuals of various ship and machinery types. The results of this study point to the high technicality and lexical demand of the corpus, which calls for a highly technical English courses’ design and further research in marine engineering (English) vocabulary. Additionally, the research findings point to the need of creating a marine engineering-specific word list.

Formation of vocabularies in a decentralized graph-based approach to human language.

Zipf's law establishes a scaling behavior for word frequencies in large text corpora. The appearance of Zipfian properties in vocabularies (viewed as an intermediate phase between referentially useless one-word systems and one-to-one word-meaning vocabularies) has been previously explained as an optimization problem for the interests of speakers and hearers. Remarkably, humanlike vocabularies can be viewed also as bipartite graphs. Thus, the aim here is double: within a bipartite-graph approach to human vocabularies, to propose a decentralized language game model for the formation of Zipfian properties. To do this, we define a language game in which a population of artificial agents is involved in idealized linguistic interactions. Numerical simulations show the appearance of a drastic transition from an initially disordered state towards three kinds of vocabularies. Our results open ways to study Zipfian properties in language, reconciling models seeing communication as a global minima of information entropic energies and models focused on self-organization.

In this article the features of Business English discourse thesaurus have been analyzed. Knowledge of institutional Business English discourse, which is a sign of translators� activity, is one of the mandatory qualification characteristics of the translator�s language personality in general and the interpreter in particular. Taking into account the specifics of the translator�s professional activity, the peculiarities of Business English discourse thesaurus, including words in their direct nominative meaning, and words with terminological meaning, are determined as well as the features of word-forming model (affixation, word-formation, conversion, reduction, synonymy), frequently used phraseological units that carry certain information about national peculiarities of the worldview of native speakers; metaphorical units and emphatic constructions. Based on the continuous sampling method (to identify lexical units of institutional Business English discourse for further analysis), the method of dictionary definitions (to study the semantics of lexical units), contrastive method (to establish common and distinctive features for translation) and descriptive method (to identify and systematization of features and difficulties of translation of lexical units of Business English discourse) the features of functioning of Business English discourse thesaurus are analyzed. The peculiarities of business discourse include stability and standardization due to the scope of its application between people, institutions and states. Since business discourse is characterized by strict accuracy, objectivity, specificity, conciseness, lack of imagery and emotionality, the choice of language means for it will be determined by the same features, because in the business style, the content should exclude ambiguity and the possibility of ambiguity. Despite the differences in content and variety of genres, business discourse in general is characterized by a number of common features, in particular: brevity, compactness of presentation, economical use of language; standard arrangement of material, often mandatory to use the inherent cliches of this style; extensive use of terminology, nomenclature names, the presence of a special layer of vocabulary and phraseology, the introduction of complex words and abbreviations. One main characteristic feature of the lexical composition of business discourse are terms. In addition to terms, there are common and special kinds of vocabulary (words and phrases that do not have the property of the term to identify concepts and objects in a particular field, but used exclusively in this field of communication) at the lexical level in each of the types of institutional Business English discourse. Special vocabulary can include both word-derived words and a number of commonly used words that function in the fixed phrases, thus being considered specialized. Another feature of Business English discourse, manifested at the morphological level, is the wordformation model of business language based on business terminology, which reveals four main ways of morphological word formation: affixation, word formation, conversion, abbreviations (lexical and graphic) and synonymy as a semantic phenomenon. Business English discourse, both oral and written, is characterized by a fairly high degree of idiomaticity, which really is a difficulty for translators working in the foreign economic field. Linguistic material of modern Business English discourse, which distinguishes it from other types of discourses, are precedent metaphors (precedent names, precedent utterances, precedent texts, precedent phenomena). They add a lively and figurative character to the business language, not depriving business discourse of accuracy, but increasing its pragmatic influence, due to their authenticity and high associative potential. In Business English oral discourse emphatic constructions (emphasis often occurs in the form of an inversion or emphatic construction with the previous It) are widely used to emphasize and give an emotionally expressive character to the utterance. Inversion can be conveyed syntactically (sentence reconstruction) and lexically (using various reinforcing words, such as �only�, �very�, �enough�, �too much�), grammatical constructions with It, which stands at the beginning of the sentence, constructions with the so-called Condensed Relative with the relative pronoun what in contracted subject or additional sentences. The most common cases are the presence in sentences of negative emphatic constructions with �no� before nouns. It is established that the success of each specific situation of intercultural business communication directly depends on the translator�s ability to correctly interpret the meaning of expression in the process of his professional activity.

COVID-19, Orwell, and the media.

> ‘WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.’ The slogan of the Ministry of Truth in Orwell’s, Nineteen Eighty-Four ,1 is my favourite literary example of the use of words to influence the thoughts of the masses. The official language of Oceania, Newspeak was designed to diminish the range of thought of the poor inhabitants of the totalitarian state. Strictly speaking, Newspeak was the opposite of old speak but I wonder if a deliberate ambiguity was intended by Orwell by calling it Newspeak; a subtle reference, perhaps, to the power of the media in being able to alter the thoughts and ideas of the masses. A new kind of vocabulary has started to take hold among my patients too. April was spent mainly discussing the daily death rates mentioned at the evening …

Challenges for Methods of Teaching English Vocabulary to Non-native Students

This study is meant to have a through argument about the main topic of this research, which is the challenges of teaching methods of English vocabulary to non-native students. The researchers try to introduce a conceptual coverage of certain areas that are relevant to English vocabulary teaching / learning. This conceptual coverage includes: the definition of the term vocabulary, kinds of vocabulary, the importance of vocabulary, general principles for successful vocabulary teaching, teaching vocabulary in the English as a foreign language (EFL) context is challenging, techniques of teaching vocabulary, and the need for teaching vocabulary. Among the qualitative methods the researchers chose the record keeping method. This method makes use of the already existing reliable documents and similar sources of information as the data source. This data can be used in a new research. The researchers have collected a number of relevant studies and quarrying critically and deeply in these studies to signal out the Challenges for Methods of Teaching English Vocabulary to Non-native Students. Qualitative data collection allows collecting data that is non-numeric and helps us to explore how decisions are made and provide a detailed insight. For reaching such conclusions the data that is collected should be holistic, rich and nuanced and findings to emerge through careful analysis. This is why the researchers have examined and collected many relevant references, case studies that deal with teaching vocabulary. To carry out this research the researchers have introduced certain questions and surveyed a huge number of previous studies after covering the relevant literature. Finally, the challenges that are critically obtained by the researchers are classified into three main categories. The first category, challenges related to students, the second one, challenges related to teachers, and the third one, challenges related to methods/ techniques/ strategies of teaching vocabulary.

Fonem Deret Konsonan dalam Bahasa Indonesia

The existence of consonant series phonemes in Indonesian phonological learning is important, but strangely it has not received special attention, so it is interesting to be the object of study. Based on existing data, if we find a phoneme study of consonant series from several references, it turns out that the discussion is only a part / sub-section of the subject matter of the study. The application of theory is based on the linguistic theory of phonological branches, phonemic subcabang, because the study focuses on the phoneme of the consonant series itself and its ability to form consonant sequences. The implementation of the study starts at three strategic stages as in linguistic research in general, namely: 1. the stage of providing data, 2. the stage of classification and analysis of data, and 3. the stage of preparing the report. The phoneme data of consonant series is more secondary, so the existence of references is a data source. The results of the consonant phoneme data analysis almost apply to all consonant phonemes in Indonesian, including loan / absorption (foreign) phonemes. The basis for determining the consonant phoneme starts with: 1. a consonant series is a consonant series of two / or more phonemes in one word, but in different syllables; 2. consonant phoneme data departs from the kinds of vocabulary in Indonesian; and 3. that the question of syllable decapitation is based on decapitation of the word form (morphological), not on sound (phonological) elements. The types of vocabulary used as data include: 1) original Indonesian vocabulary; 2) loan / absorption vocabulary, especially from the process "received by adjustment"; and 3) the "new form" vocabulary.

A reconsideration of the construct of "a vocabulary for Japanese learners of English": A critical comparison of the JACET wordlists and new general service lists

By comparing the vocabularies included in the Japan Association of College English Teachers (JACET) wordlists (1993, 2003, and 2016 editions) and recently released New General Service Lists (Brezina & Gablasova, 2013, Browne, 2013), we tried to identify the construct of “the vocabulary for Japanese learners” with which JACET researchers have been concerned. Our quantitative analysis has shown that it includes the vocabulary concerning (a) family and people, (b) houses and daily life, (c) foods and cooking, (d) clothes and fashions, (e) sports, (f) social meetings, (g) transportation, and (h) emotions and mental states, as well as (i) spoken English vocabulary and (j) non-basic forms. This finding will shed new light on the discussion of what kind of vocabulary should be included in pedagogical wordlists

自尊水平对大学生自我相关词汇记忆成绩的影响

为了研究大学生的自尊水平对其记忆自我相关词汇的影响，以修改的《多元自尊问卷》为工具，以大连市某高校的大学生为被试，从中筛选出自我自尊、他人自尊和关系自尊得分最高的30%和得分最低的30%被试进行实验。实验内容为给被试随机呈现形容人格特质的积极词汇、消极词汇和与形容人格无关的词汇各20个，全部呈现完毕之后测试被试的回忆情况。得出了以下结论：(1) 自尊水平高低，对大学生记忆自我相关词汇产生影响。自我自尊和他人自尊水平低的大学生，记忆消极词汇的成绩高于记忆积极词汇和无关词汇。而关系自尊水平低的大学生则不存在这一特点。(2) 自我自尊高分组的被试记忆积极词汇的得分高于消极词汇的得分，也高于记忆无关词汇的得分，差异显著；自我自尊低分组的被试记忆消极词汇的得分高于记忆积极词汇的得分，高于记忆无关词汇的得分，差异显著。(3) 他人自尊高分组和低分组的被试，在记忆三种词汇的得分上，差异不显著。(4) 关系自尊高分组的被试，在记忆三种词汇的得分上，差异不显著；关系自尊低分组的被试，在记忆三种词汇的得分上，差异显著，记忆消极词汇的得分高于记忆积极词汇的得分，高于记忆无关词汇的得分。 In order to study the effect of self-esteem on memory of self-related words, we had used the mul-tiple self-esteem questionnaire as the tool, and we selected the students of Liaoning Normal Uni-versity as the subjects, to test the level of self-esteem of College students. Screening of self-esteem, self-respect and self-esteem of others the highest 30% and lowest score of 30% subjects partici-pated in the experiment from. The contents of experiments to subjects were randomly presented to describe positive words, negative words and personality traits and describe the personality in-dependent vocabulary each 20, all show finished recalls the situation after test subjects. We draw the following conclusions: (1) The self-esteem level has an influence on the memory of college students’ self-related words. For the college students who have low level of self-esteem and other- esteem, the score of the negative vocabulary memory is higher than the other kinds of words. (2) For high self-esteem group subjects, the score of the active vocabulary memory is significantly higher than the other two kinds of words; nevertheless, for low self-esteem groups, the score of negative vocabulary memory is significantly higher than the other two kinds. (3) On the other- esteem level, there was no significant difference of the memory among the three kinds of words. (4) On the relationship esteem, for high relationship esteem group subjects, the difference of the scores of memorizing three kinds of vocabularies was not significant. While for the low group, the difference was significant. Moreover, the score of the negative vocabulary memory is higher than the active and passive ones.

Political Discourse on the Platform of New Media: An Analysis into People's Quotient of Involvement

The current paper focuses on the exact levels of involvement of people in political discourse through the New Media. Technology has facilitated availability of new and varied forums of discussion. As soon as a new agenda is brought to the public glare with constant priming of the issue by the media, there ensues another race of panel discussions, and debates which form the base of the much touted discussion forum of social network sites. A large amount of software is generated and people ‘share’, ‘comment’ or add their own perceptions to the issue at hand. The moot question remains about the level of involvement, in letter and spirit of the millions who throng the chat rooms. An attempt has been made to understand the exact association and involvement of the people, along with the observation on the kind of vocabulary and language that has replaced the traditional British approach to English language and the resultant evolution of the regional language. Keywords: Political discourse, New Media, social media, language.
