Deaf children in adapting to their school environment can use total communication models, namely verbal and nonverbal in interacting with their environment, both friends, teachers, therapists and parents.

THE BANARAS GHARANA OF KATHAK DANCE: A STUDY FROM THE PAST TO PRESENT

The word “gharana” is related to that particular art, which is passed down from generation to generation. In simple words, a gharana means a “house” in which every member living follows his ancestors. In the field of music, the names of many famous gharanas are derived; each gharaana represents its own different artistic structure or style. If seen in the history of the music world, the gharanas were born when one artist practiced his art until his presentation did not seem to be different from other artists and then he passed this legacy to his next generation; in this way, from one generation to another, this form of art flowed, which gave birth to the Gharana.Mainly in the field of Kathak dance, the names of three gharanas are found: Lucknow Gharana, Banaras Gharana, and Jaipur Gharana. These gharanas seem to be different from each other on the basis of their specific artistic talents. Banaras Gharana is famous for its strong movement and devotional presentation. Janaki Prasad and Sukhdev Maharaj are considered to be the two founders of Banaras Gharana. Janaki Prasad was born in Rajasthan, but he made Banaras his workplace. On the other hand, Sukhdev Maharaj was born in Banaras, but He rendered his musical services in the court of the King of Nepal, after which his children stayed in Banaras and strengthened the Banaras Gharana. Presently, all the artists representing the Banaras Gharana are related to this lineage.The presented research article describes the genealogy of past and present artists of Banaras Gharana of Kathak and their contribution to Kathak dance.

A Critical Discourse Analysis of Some Texts Selected from Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea.

Most of the critical discourse analysis is directed to analysing media discourses and political discourses, however; literary works can be subjected to critical discourse analysis on different levels such as drama and novels. This paper focuses on employing Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) in investigating linguistic and rhetorical devices of Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea. The main objective of the current study is to analyse the literary texts selected from The Old Man and the Sea in terms of linguistics and rhetorical features by adopting two models: Fairclough’s three-dimensional model (2001) and Burke’s four master tropes model (1969). The study has reached the following concluding points: Hemingway uses more informal and simple vocabulary and concrete specific words. Besides, the linguistic analysis shows that the present discourse uses conjunctions and pronouns, and the current social analysis has different occasions including Santiago, the boy, and the fish.

AbstractThe author is a now‐retired, longstanding leader in the United States Air Force. He relates the leadership of Frances Hesselbein to the lyrics and title of music in the Broadway hit show, Hamilton, about Alexander Hamilton, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. The author writes: “What might be impossible to document is the ripple outward of her impact and example to the hundreds of thousands…no, millions of people she impacted through simple words, consistently spoken and lived, over the century‐plus of her life.”

The Analysis of Language Features Used by Male and Female Fitness Influencers in Tiktok Videos

Nowadays, the number of fitness influencers from both genders is rapidly increasing in the fitness industry. Both genders have their language features and characteristics that can be seen in their Tiktok videos. This study aimed to investigate the features and typical characteristics of the language used by Indonesian male and female fitness influencers. This study applied a qualitative descriptive research method by analyzing the video script based on Lakoff’s Theory (1973) and Tennan’s Theory (1990). The findings indicated that male fitness influencers typically speak with greater directness and assertiveness. Also, basic and simple words are mostly used by male influencers. On the contrary, female fitness influencers mostly use extensive vocabulary in their rapport talk. It is intended that this study would serve as the foundation for further investigation related to language gender.

The relevance of words and the language/communication divide.

First, the wide applicability of the relevance-theoretic pragmatic account of how new (ad hoc) senses of words and new (ad hoc) words arise spontaneously in communication/comprehension is demonstrated. The lexical pragmatic processes of meaning modulation and metonymy are shown to apply equally to simple words, noun to verb 'conversions', and morphologically complex cases with non-compositional (atomic) meanings. Second, this pragmatic account is situated within a specific view of the cognitive architecture of language and communication, with the formal side of language, its recursive combinatorial system, argued to have different developmental, evolutionary and cognitive characteristics from the meaning side of language, which is essentially pragmatic/communicative. Words straddle the form/meaning (syntax/pragmatics) divide: on the one hand, they are phrasal structures, consisting of a root and variable numbers of functors, with no privileged status in the syntax; on the other hand, they are salient to language users as basic units of communication and are stored as such, in a communication lexicon, together with their families of related senses, which originated as cases of pragmatically derived (ad hoc) senses but have become established, due to their communicative efficacy and frequency of use. Third, in an attempt to find empirical evidence for the proposed linguistic form-meaning divide, two very different cases of atypical linguistic and communicative development are considered: autistic children and deaf children who develop Homesign. The morpho-syntax (the formal side of language) appears to unfold in much the same way in both cases and is often not much different from that of typically developing children, but they diverge markedly from each other in their communication/pragmatics and their development of a system (a lexicon) of meaningful words/signs.

ANALISIS FRAMING PEMBERITAAN PEMBUNUHAN WANITA HAMIL DI GUNUNGKIDUL PADA MEDIA ONLINE REPUBLIKA.CO.ID DAN KOMPAS.COM

This article discusses the framing analysis of reporting on pregnant women being killed in Gunungkidul in November 2022. The murder occurred because the victim RN (25) refused to abort her pregnancy as a result of her actions with ER (24). This study uses the Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M Koscki Framing Analysis model. This analysis model assumes that, every news has a frame that functions as the center of idea organization. The media studied are Republika.co.id and Kompas.com, both of which have views on how to package news. The data collection technique is the technique of observing and noting. The research data are textnews Republika.co.idq danq Kompas.com. The results of the research show that in packaging the news, these two media use simple words that are easily understood by the public. The two media have different points of view.

Error Analysis of Using Combined Directional Complementary Words “下来”, “下去” and “起来” in Students of The Chinese Language Education Study Program of Widya Kartika University Surabaya

In learning Chinese, students are inseparable from language errors. Learners often encounter errors in the yufa type of complementary word (补语bǔyǔ). The word complement itself is divided into simple complementary and combined words. Researchers found that many students of the Chinese Language Education Study Program of Widya Kartika University Surabaya had difficulty in understanding the use of the combined directional complementary words “下来” , “下去” and “起来”. Therefore, the researcher analyzed the incorrect use of the combined directional complementary words “下来” , “下去” and “起来” in students of the Chinese Language Education Study Program at Widya Kartika University Surabaya to find out the types and percentages of mistakes made and the factors that influence the occurrence of mistakes. The methods used in this study are qualitative and quantitative research methods. The conclusion of this study is that quite a lot of students of the Chinese Language Education Study Program of Widya Kartika University have done a lot and the type of mistakes made are mixed mistakes. Mistakes occur due to lack of understanding of theory, the influence of the mother tongue, namely Indonesian and teaching materials used.

Relationship between hand stereotypies and purposeful hand use and factors causing skin injuries and joint contractures in individuals with Rett syndrome

BackgroundSkin injuries and joint contractures in the upper limbs are observed in approximately 50 % of individuals with Rett syndrome, respectively. AimsTo investigate the relationship between stereotypic hand movements and purposeful hand skills, items related to these, and factors that cause upper extremity skin injuries and joint contractures in individuals with Rett syndrome. Study designWe conducted a cross-sectional observational study in 2020 with families belonging to either of the two largest Rett syndrome organizations in Japan. SubjectsIn 2020, we sent a questionnaire to 194 Japanese families. Outcome measuresWe used descriptive statistics to indicate frequency in each question. We analysed the association between hand stereotypies and purposeful hand use, their associations with each questionnaire item, and the relationship between the occurrence of skin injuries and joint contractures. ResultsWe acquired information from 72 cases. We found correlations between stereotypy frequency with reaching and between purposeful hand use with intellectual development grade and hand function. Hand and finger skin injuries and elbow and finger joint contractures were associated with wringing/washing, grasping, locomotion, reaching, and intellectual development grade. We identified cut-off points for the occurrence of elbow and finger joint contractures of 10 years 6 months, ability to roll over, finger feeds only, and understanding of simple words. ConclusionsDirect interventions can reduce hand stereotypies and increase purposeful hand use, while related items can be addressed with indirect interventions. Evaluations of factors that cause skin injuries and joint contractures can prevent their occurrence.

ENGLISH ANATOMICAL TERMS BY ORIGIN IN THE TEXTBOOK HUMAN ANATOMY(I-II)

This research is aimed to identify the particularities of English anatomical terms, based on comparative description of structural forms and in terms of origin. One-word and compound English and Latin anatomical terms are compared. This research was based on the use of anatomical terms in the textbook “Human Anatomy”, published by M. Prives, V. Bushkovich, N. Lisenkov, who offer a progressive view towards? descriptive, evolutionary, functional, and practical anatomy. Medical terms in the textbook can be basically divided into one-word and multi-word terms. One-word terms can be simple words, derived words, compounds, or a combination of derived and compound words. Compound anatomical terms can consist of two-six words. More than a half of the one-word English anatomical terms are formed on the basis of the English lexis. Most English compound anatomical terms are formed using the terms of Latin or Greek languages. Keywords: one-word anatomical terms, compound anatomical terms, borrowed terms, terms formed on the basis of the lexis of one’s own language

Tense-aspect constructions in Jish Arabic: Morphological, syntactic, and semantic features

This paper aims to examine the present and past tense-aspect constructions in Jish Arabic, an undocumented Arabic variety of Upper Galilee (Israel), and delineate their morphological, syntactic, and semantic features. Nine such constructions are identified, and the structure of each construction is discussed. In addition, using the Natural Semantic Metalanguage approach (NSM), an explication (a definition using simple words) of the meaning of each construction is presented. In discussing the Jish Arabic constructions, a comparison is made with their English counterparts, which are chosen as a familiar point of reference. The comparison with English does not make the explications prone to Anglocentrism, as the explications are built via a simple, universal language. This language ensures their translatability into Jish Arabic and their verification by native Jish Arabic speakers. In addition, it makes their meanings accessible to non-specialists, as the explications can be translated into any language. This study can be seen as a contribution to the field of theoretical linguistics, particularly descriptive linguistics, as it documents the tense-aspect constructions of an undocumented variety. In addition, it can be seen as a contribution to the field of applied linguistics, especially as it compares these constructions to their English counterparts. It is hoped that this paper will stimulate the investigation of tense-aspect constructions in other non-standard Arabic varieties, most of which are undocumented.

“Make Crafts, Not Business.” The Future of the Post-Industrial Economy

In this column, “In Simple Words,” we publish materials that, as the title states, are written in simple words, without trying to be “scientific.” These articles are more like essays, representing their authors’ views and reflecting socially significant topics.“Manual labor, having survived the hardest period of stagnation during the Industrial Age, is now returning under a new guise,” social entrepreneur Ekaterina Zatuliveter believes. The line between consumers and producers is fading. A new consumption model is emerging, called prosumerism. Why craft labor should be brought from the past into the future and how it will help humanity move away from mass consumerism to a society of prosumerism, are the topics of this original article

Knowledge and skills extraction from the job requirements texts

The analysis of the requirements for vacancies in the labor market shows that they are multi-level language constructions of several words with complex semantic relationships. The aim of the research is to develop a method for extracting short texts of knowledge and skills from texts of job requirements that have a complex organizational structure. The method consists in supplementing the structure of complex sentences with new relationships by means of a BERT neural network model trained on the texts of online vacancies and moving from a complex text to a set of simple word combinations. The process of additional training (finetunig) of BERT neural network models from the Sberbank AI laboratory on the texts of online vacancies is shown. Two mechanisms for adding new links between requirements words, taking into account knowledge from the subject area, are implemented: linear and through the addition of the parsing tree. In the course of the experiment, a comparative analysis was carried out for several combinations of the listed tools. The combination that showed the best result was 'the BERT + deeppavlov_syntax_parser model + a linear method of adding links'. The applicability of the method was demonstrated on the text corpus of online job requirements. The proposed method has shown higher efficiency than the rule-based approach, which involves the use of formal rules and grammar rules for natural language analysis. Using the method will allow you to quickly identify the key changes in the needs of the labor market at the level of requirements texts of individual knowledge and skills.

English Learning Assistance Using Interactive Media for Children with Special Needs to Improve Growth and Development

Background. Children with special needs (ABK) are children who are in several ways different from other children in general. Among the crew members are Special Children (ALB), which consists of children who are blind, deaf, mentally retarded, quadriplegic, mentally disabled and double disabled. Some of the main things that need to be considered in the learning process for ALB are teachers, learning methods, learning approaches, infrastructure and learning support media (teaching aids). Purpose. The purpose of this community service activity is to solve the problems faced by partners in the English learning process, namely when a disorder results in disruption in daily functioning, especially in learning, the student requires special services (children with special educational needs) and requires specific learning methods in addition to appropriate and interactive learning media. Method. The solution offered to overcome this problem is the optimization of teaching methods. The recommended approach in the English language assistance activities for the Cilacap State Polytechnic PkM Team is in the form of prompts and demonstrations. Meanwhile, teaching English can use total physical response (TPR) by maximizing lip reading technique in addition to maximizing the use of flash cards to attract students' interest and focus. Results. The results obtained from this community service activity are increasing the ability of children with special needs to say a few simple words in English. The growth and development of children with special needs increase after the community service activities are completed. This is shown from the evaluation results carried out by the service team by conducting a post-test on ABK. Conclusion. To get significant results, namely increasing the growth and development of ABK, especially in the pronunciation of words in English, it is better if this activity is carried out regularly in the future.

Lean Principles in Small-Medium Enterprises in Malaysia: Creating A Web-Based Training

Lean principles (LP) are well-established strategies for increasing the throughput of business organizations. Many large corporations have benefited from LP implementations in their organizations. However, acceptance of LP implementations among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) remained low, owing primarily to persistent prejudice and a lack of access to LP tools. This paper presents a Web-based Training (WBT) approach to alleviate such constraints and to accommodate the circumstances of SMEs in term of their financial, time and knowledge resources. The fundamental concepts of LP, SME, and WBT are presented in the first part of this paper based on a review of literature studies. Following that, the development of optimal WBT modules is elaborated on the basis of survey validations on the connectivity of LP and SMEs in Malaysia, emphasizing the use of simple words and terms for ease of comprehension by the targeted SME users.
