Hello, as far as corpora are concerned, you can investigate English prenominal and postnominal adjectives in the BNC or the COCA:

As for Spanish, you can consult the CAES and CORPES:

I agree with Ira. By 'constructed' we should understand any given language that has been artificially created by human beings. They can be applied to real life (e.g. Esperanto) or fiction, hence 'fictional' (Tolkien, G.R.R. Martin, Star Trek, etc.). I personally find 'fictitious' a less clear-cut term, as it can both characterise languages created for 'fictional' purposes and how they are perceived (as false or not genuine) inside a work of fiction by its narrative voice(s) or characters. I hope this can be of help.

Hello Tanmoy Basu In a multinomial logistic regression model that you do using SPSS software, there are many tools and outputs to check the appropriateness of the model, I have sent some of them in the attached images. As far as I know, SPSS is not lacking in this field and it is a good software.

You will need to know firstly what field you want to research, and if you have observed a phenomenon of transformation that you could research on in a subsequent study. Formulate a research question/hypothesis or thesis, and think about a method you would like to use. If you want to work on large quantity of data, you could use digital tools for capturing word or phrase frequency.

It does make a big difference if you research on transformation AND digitalization or if you research on them independently ("or"). Yet this is a question of how to get data (AND or OR). For a research, you will need to narrow down your scope considerably, and you will need to know precisely what you want to research on. Even with digital tools at hand for capturing a large quantity of data, we first need to determine a valid research question and object. If you only research on digitalization, your digital tool will probably explode when processing too much data, as the digitalization has affected multitudes of arenas.

I wonder if my work in plot dynamics might help. I work with modes based on types of causality--the five ways meaning arises or fails to arise in narrative. The stages of plot appear to mirror the psychobiological stages of human life. The theory is set forth in Plot Snakes and the Dynamics of Narrative Experience (U Press of Florida, 1992). In Plots of Time: An Enquiry into History, Myth, and Meaning (UP of Florida, 1995) I applied the theory to historical myths. I also self-published An Introduction to Plots in the Modes of Experience (2009) in which I recounted the theory and my conclusions. Please let me know if I can be of help; I would be interested in hearing how you defined the framework and its components.

Of course literature of study does much in accumulating information. In addition ,it saves your time

Dear İsmail Gündüz many thanks for your kind response and explanation. Clearly sodium borohydride itself is unsuitable for coating metals or metal alloys with boron species. NaBH₄ is a water-soluble salt which has highly reducing properties. However, sodium borohydride is often used as a reducing agent to prepare metal coatings and metal nanoparticles.

In your case I assume that for coating aluminum and aluminum alloys with boron compounds you should look for hard and resistive materials like metal borides and boron carbide etc. For some potentially useful articles about this topic please have a look at the following papers:

you can see this paper, .

My MA thesis applies a structural narrative theory to an author's text. I will update on this when the journal article is available. Watch the space!

Yes, if handled masterly, they can still be applicable

I believe it is imperative to work on a some form of a literary anthology to register all the literary works that depicted the turning point in the history of the country and how the American invasion of Iraq and its aftermath were portrayed in the works of Iraqi writers (dead or still alive). It is a promising and massive project but it is not an impossible task. There is a bad need for volunteers to start working on such project. It is a national obligation!

Try to read "Can the Subaltern Speak?" Spivak discusses the lack of an account of the Sati practice, leading her to reflect on whether the subaltern can even speak. Spivak writes about the process, the focus on the Eurocentric Subject as they disavow the problem of representation; and by invoking the Subject of Europe, these intellectuals constitute the subaltern Other of Europe as anonymous and mute. Reading Edward Said should help critics like you understanding this topic. All the best!

A great question. In my opinion, however, the most important challenge at the moment are the face masks, which everyone is obliged to wear. Can we trust each other without seeing each other's faces?

Relative to the touch:

According to this article, physical touch is not necessary to develop trust.

Trust without touch: jumpstarting long-distance trust with initial social activities. DOI: 10.1145/503376.503402

In turn, this experiment shows how touch in the context of trust is more important for introverts.

How are Nigerian Female Writers responding to the issue of patriarchal hegemony in their writing? Many African critics have written in support of the popularly held .

Migration and Literature have been deliberated upon by many writers and critics in the post-colonial and post-Modern context. Unless we bring in the class-caste-race-gender or other such perspectives, there is a chance of being highly generic in such narratives.

Thanks Hui Au Yong for this useful information.

Kiran Kumar Poloju If I have understood correctly from your question:

When constructing geoplymer cement, all the calculations must be taken into account. for Instance, higher molarity may result in leaching of free cations (e.g. Na+) which will be observable on the surface of the specimens. On the other hand if the molarity of the activator/hardeners are lower than required, the polycondensation may remain incomplete and may result in low strength and durability. Therefore, the aim should be to achieve a chemically stable structure (Na/Al=1) and the ratios should be chosen accordingly.

I have a review paper published today...check it out. I hope it would be helpful to you

The microemulsion size limit is arbitrary. If the Tyndall effect (scattering by particles in transmitted light) is observed for the emulsion, then this is a microemulsion. If the surface tension at the water-hydrocarbon interface is approaching zero, then this is a microemulsion. The formation of microemulsions refers to critical phenomena in binary systems. The formation of emulsions - to the separation of phases.

You can also use XANES or ELNES to determine the valence from line ratios.

While the scoping review aims to map the literature, seeking to describe the results in a graphic and classificatory way to have a better ideia on what is there, Integrative review proposes to integrate the literature found on a determined object of investigation.

Several thoughts come to mind. First, it usually takes a very long time to get a research paper accepted and published (sometimes up to two years). The university authorities should keep that in mind. Sometimes you have to submit (and revise) the manuscript to a dozen journals.

Second, the pressure to get something published is so intense that some people will be tempted to publish fraudulent "research" or research "results." If this happens, sooner or later it will come back to haunt the person and when discovered he will still be fired and, worse, will not be able to find employment in his field ever again. And the punishment will be well deserved.

Thank you,!

Dear Eduardo Duarte Marques Eduardo, thank you for answer. The pH range was between 6.7 to 7.2. I am working with more sampling points and only one presented Al in sollution (whole seidmenr core).

Francisco Valdir Silveira Francisco, thank you for your answer as well. Yeah, I was thinking that comes from the origin of sediment (subtropical soil), but how I said to Eduardo, I am monitoring others samplings points and only this one showed Al in sollution. I was wondoring maybe other explanation besides its origin.

Thank you both.@

Hi,

Cantoni, F., & Mangia, G. (Eds.). (2018). Human Resource Management and Digitalization. Routledge.

Good luck.

Thank again Daniel! It was very helpful.

Your proposal sounds quite interesting must say.

Yes, I am currently research what role does emotion play in capturing and sustaining our attention in new media advertising.

For that I am looking at: 1. How emotions influence our memory; 2. Types of attention (short or captured, long or sustained) 3. How emotions influence our decision making process. 4.The attentional relationship between brands and consumers.

I would like to test wether emotional advertising can capture our attention and then transform short attention into long attention.

As it is complicated test this, I am considering to rely on different studies, and then combine them to create a new model in which separate theories are interconnected.

I am looking into it. but it looks somehow helpful. Thank you so much for your quick response.

Yogi Patel.

Michael Uebel Thanks a lot! I do agree the literature is limited on this.

My wife is a distinguished scholar of the work of Elizabeth Bishop. When I asked my granddaughter, a recent college grad, why she thought Bishop's poetry was so popular in colleges these days, she said, because of gender and post colonial connections. Not at all the reasons for admiring her poems. The wrong reasons.

Impossible, they are not isomorphic planes. The study of nineteenth-century feminism is, by nature, a study in the archeology of knowledge.

The mass society is only interested in degraded comedy. The drama belongs to high culture. High culture that is in decline, of course.

Grazie Simone, will have a look

Use the null hypothesis (i. e., that there is no influence), get a reasonably strong data base (at least 100 cases), then use a high level of confidence (day, .96).

What I have is a case study in primary data and not literature. Wish you well in your search...

At the heart of the TPACK framework, is the complex interplay of three primary forms of knowledge: Content (CK), Pedagogy (PK), and Technology (TK). The TPACK approach goes beyond seeing these three knowledge bases in isolation. The TPACK framework goes further by emphasizing the kinds of knowledge that lie at the intersections between three primary forms: Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), Technological Content Knowledge (TCK), Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK), and Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). A range of other scholars have argued that that knowledge about technology cannot be treated as context-free and that good teaching requires an understanding of how technology relates to the pedagogy and content.

Valentina, I hope these references help you.

You could use Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, specifically his novel A Grain of Wheat if you want to focus on space from the perspective of Nationality and post colonial.

(My answer assumes that you are referring to computer corpora of literary texts. I hope I have not misunderstood you.)

I am not familiar with specific literary corpora: I know they exist, but I do not know their size or composition. However, you might do well to bear in mind that a number of the main general corpora, including the OEC, the BNC and the COCA have a literature subcorpus.

Whether you would be better off with a smaller specific literature corpus or a larger general corpus which includes literary texts will depend on the nature of your research. If you are looking above all for a large amount of texts, then you might be better off with a mega corpus such as the OEC or the Coca: even though literature is not the mainstay of their composition, the sheer overall size of these two corpora (around 2 billion words in the case of the OEC and around half a billion in the case of Coca) will ensure that you are not short of literary texts. However, you would need to examine the composition of the literature subcorpus in these corpora, to see if it fits your purposes. If you require more information than that supplied with the corpus, you could always try contacting the corpus compilers.

The BNC is available on both SketchEngine and the Brigham Young University platform. You would need to check if it's the same version on both platforms, as it wasn't at one time. The OEC is also available on Sketch Engine, if you obtain prior permission to use it from the publishers (Oxford University Press.) Coca is available on the Brigham Young University platform.

Well, Alexandrian grammatics did this. They divided Homer's poems on 24 books, named with the letters of Greek alphabet: "The second and third key moments are the critical editions made by the 3rd and 2nd century BCE Alexandrian scholars Zenodotus of Ephesus and Aristarchus respectively; both of these scholars also published numerous other works on Homer and other poets, none of which survive. Zenodotus' edition may well have been the first to divide the Iliad and Odyssey into 24 books".

I agree with Prof. Judeh's view. I consider that the positive impact of literature on emotional and social rejuvenation of a person is noticeable.

Perhaps you might begin by addressing the theory of symbols proper and Forster's own unique relation to symbols in the late-Victorian English tradition--i.e. this does *not* equal French Symbolism!  Throughout his life, EMF had a healthy mistrust of signification insofar as he had inherited from KCC and his teachers there (G L Dickinson, indirectly G. E. Moore, and others) the neo-Platonist tendency to view language as symbolic to the ill, i.e. as displacing a better experience, lived more fully and pleasurably elsewhere, beyond the text. Hence what scholars call the "contradictory" tension--I view it, rather, as a fruitful ambivalence--between what language (writing) can convey as representation and what it can't, or shouldn't, convey.

Indian literary movements integrally belong to the category of spontaneous outbursts both prior to and after Indian independence. Amongst the noted literary movements of this era was the Progressive Writers' Movement which was established in Kolkata during 1936, prior to the Partition of India. The Little Magazine Movement commenced during the 1950's and 1960's in numerous languages including Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Malayalam and Tamil. Two of the significant literary movements in India which were successful to create an everlasting impression upon the natives was the fuelling of the Progressive Writers' Movement and the Little Magazine Movement. The contemporary writers  are  still  striving  to  provide  liberation  to  the  female  world  from  the  debilitating  socio-cultural constraints  and  oppressive  myths  of  their  respective  countries. Feminism  is  a  movement  which  advocates  granting  the  same  political,  social,  and  economic  rights  to women as those enjoyed by men. Throughout the world, women have been deprived of their basic socio-legal  rights by a patriarchal order.  Literary movements are,  Romanticism, Transcendentalism,  Realism,  Naturalism, Modernism,     Existentialism, Beat Generation.In Hindi literature  In the 20th century, Hindi literature saw a romantic upsurge. This is known as Chhayavaad (shadowism) and the literary figures belonging to this school are known as Chhayavaadi. Jaishankar Prasad, Suryakant Tripathi 'Nirala', Mahadevi Varma and Sumitranandan Pant, are the four major Chhayavaadi poets.  This period of Neo-romanticism, represents the adolescence of Hindi Poetry. It is marked by beauty of expression and flow of intense emotion. Other important genres of Adhunik Sahitya (Modernism) are: Prayogvad (Experimentalism) of Ajneya and the Tar Saptak poets, also known as Nayi Kavita (New Poetry) and Nayi Kahani (New Story) of Nirmal Verma and others; followed by Pragativad (Progressivism) of Gajanan Madhav Muktibodh and other authors. Rahul Sankrityayan, Bhadant Anand Kausalyayan, Sachchidananda Hirananda Vatsyayan 'Ajneya' and Baba Nagarjun were some of the great Indian writers who dedicated themselves entirely to the Hindi Travel Literature.

I recommend cognitive development theories and principles: Jeanne Bamberger, The Mind Behind the Musical Ear: How Children Develop Musical Intelligence (Cambridge: Harvard Univ. Press, 1991).  I'm sure there are other books as well.

Hello ,

interesting question , here are the publications:

https://books.google.co.th/books?hl=en&lr=&id=1kWZt3de0loC&oi=fnd&pg=PR11&dq=anthropomorphism&ots=f275Dhhott&sig=ICOtnhYYdi_nnCPTUKeWA03sYgY&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=anthropomorphism&f=false 

This may not be at all relevant, but the imagery of the poem 'A thought from Propertius' by the 20th century poet W B Yeats relates to Cynthia and Helen. So, commentaries on Yeats may have references to research on the image of Helen in Propertius.

I tried a quick on-line search for recent discussion of Helen in Propertius's imagery. There seems little. Try F. Cairns, Sextus Propertius,The Augustan Elegist  - but only on p 401:

There's also discussion, but again only on pp 15-16, in a Stanford PhD thesis by M. Y. Myers, 2008. You'll be able to find the thesis itself from Stanford, but here are details:

I don't think that this will help much, but best wishes with it.

I'm quite sure it's not in The Interpretation of Dreams and suspect it's not from Freud at all, primarily because he objected to the notion of the unconscious as a locality, which is virtually the answer demanded by the wording of the question as it is. Freud focused on the repression process as a dynamic of forgetting. Freud did focus on the fact that the lost material (I suspect he didn't often speak of it as a "thought" either) was available for later retrieval or recollection.

Thank you for asking !

The notion of a canon (or selection of great works) has become problematic because of the difficulty of deciding the criteria for deciding what should be included (and excluded). Older canons tend to be the preserve of dead, white males: they tended to exclude women and blacks (or people of colour) and so were rightly objected to as instances of cultural imperialism. But canons are difficult to escape. Just think how many newspapers or blogs or magazines publish stories based upon 'the hundred best....films/operas/symphonies/novels/pop songs...of the last ten/50/100 years'. They offer interesting objects for discussion as long as they are not taken too seriously as the pronouncement of universal and permanent value

Eric, if you go for Requiem for a Nun, it would be just perfect in your field of study. Best wishes.

There is no doubt that literature develops better understanding about life, about relationships. Whether literature makes you a ‘better person’ or not, can be argued and counter argued with loads of examples.  The point is not changing into ‘better’ or ‘otherwise’ person; rather the point is that literature affects you. It certainly exposes you to the myriad lanes and by-lanes of life. Literature not only sensitizes you to important issues but it certainly makes you realize your own level of sensitivity and insensitivity. It ignites a spark in you. There are certain habits, behavior, unique ways of doing things which are very insulting or humiliating to others but we keep doing them unknowingly. Literature shows us the mirror

Yehuda Amichai, Israeli  Poet became a writer by discovering the latest London poetry in an Egyptian desert  where he was stationed as a soldier (Ludwig Pfeuffer)  in British Army. He admits: ´ There had been some kind of storm, and one of the mobile libraries had overturned into the sand, ruining or half-ruining most of the books. We came upon it and I started digging through the books and came upon a book, a Faber anthology of modern British poetry, which I think came out in the late thirties. Hopkins was the first poet, Dylan Thomas the last. It was my first encounter with modern British poetry—the first time I read Eliot and Auden, for example, who became very important to me. I discovered them in the Egyptian desert in a half-ruined book. This book had an enormous impact on me—I think that was when I began to think seriously about writing poetry.

Because you are studying cultural stereotypes as presented in literature etc., I would recommend you first immediately explore your interests with Google Images.

This is fascinating! What IS this set of images that appears and why???

Are these all stereotypes? Are they all from literature? Which cultures do they come from? How is this dataset biassed?

Save each image as a PDF and try to put tags on each. What happens? Have fun!

Then get ready to work and do a good Google

Search for imagology definition and imagology meaning.

Then search for imagology method.

Next search for imagology history and imagology comparative literature.

Prepare your review of literature by going to Google Scholar.

Repeatedly follow the “Cited by” and “Related articles” until you have seen everything you need. Don't get lost!

Literacy has two different meanings:

a) in the original sense it refers to reading and writing education

b) you can use as a metaphor to speak of basic skills in another domain: e.g. computer literacy.

Literacy b): Emotional literacy covers the basic skills, emotional intelligence the whole range.

Literacy a): You are able to understand emotional backgrounds in reading and to  express emotions in writing. This is actually related to emotional intelligence, but the situational scope is far more narrow.

the calculation of sample size depends on the hypothesis or research question, and not on the probability or non probability.

To do power analysis to estimate your sample size, you have to write your hypothesis, and based on that you decide what statistical test you will use. It should be one of the inferential statistics. so you need to determine the following: alpha {standard to be .05}, power [standard to be .80], effect size {small, moderate, or large, each test has its own value, you can find these values in the net}. Then download free programs to calculate the sample size such as G. power.

Dear Sibaprasad,

This is a very strong and moving topic. I agree with you that poetry which glorifies life is badly needed in the 21st century as well. My questions are these:

1. Who are the poets you have in mind?

2. Why do you think that this life-affirming sort of poetry needs to be necessarily romantic?

Looking forward to your answer,

kind regards,

Ferenc

Isn't The Shadow of Light : An Album of Poems an experiment in Neo-Romanticism? - ResearchGate. Available from: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Isnt_The_Shadow_of_Light_An_Album_of_Poems_an_experiment_in_Neo-Romanticism#view=5688e1d47eddd306688b458b [accessed Jan 3, 2016].

*************************************************************************************

Dear Ferenc,

The Shadow of Light: An Album of Poems is a novel experiment in Neo-Romanticism. Before initiating a discussion, this volume of poems needs to be read. It is available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

You have rightly grasped that the kind of poetry which glorifies life is seriously needed in the 21st century. The last century has been pitiably inhuman especially in the backdrop of two world wars that took away precious human lives and devastated the edifices of civilization built by men by the sweat of their brows since the beginning of  time. Poetry diverted itself to portray the desolateness of human life and the lifeless ruins that filled the earth. The values of love, friendship and tolerance were replaced by infidelity, divorce, promiscuousness and treachery. Prosperity meant accumulation of wealth at any cost.

Now that about  sixty years have passed since World War II and since Hiroshima and Nagasaki have sprung back to life and glory, men are beginning to feel  a new breeze blowing gently on the earth. With the fall of Soviet Union, the war of nerves is a thing of the past although monocentric world power is no less dangerous. Islamic terrorism is threatening the world order no doubt, but positive forces rallying against them will be able to diminish its rage. It is time that we looked back to nature, to innocent childhood,  to love and to the sunny mornings. This urge is being nurtured by some poets not with an eye to the Nobel Prize but for the sake of the celebration of life. They are few, but they are there.

2. Romanticism is an uncommon awareness of life - to be elated at the sight of a violet by a mossy stone, at the sight of daffodils beside the lake beneath the trees, at the voice of the nightingales and the cuckoos, at the spectacle of children flying kites, at the hush-hush kissing of  teenaged lovers. Socially, it also encourages equality and fraternity - a goal we have set for ourselves.  This is what you have nicely called 'life-affirming' trend of modern life. Romanticism is not an illusion, but more realistic than realism. It is like mining gold and diamond under the crust that is 'realistically' barren.

I wish you were in touch with me via email. That would give us opportunities to exchange ideas on new grounds.

All the best,

Sibaprasad

Eliot’s symbol of perpetual life appears first in the epigraph as the ancient Sybil who cannot die, and again, perhaps, in “The Burial of the Dead” as “Belladonna, the Lady of the Rocks” (“She is older than the rocks among which she sits ...” runs Pater’s description). She is the woman in “The Game of Chess,” surrounded by “her strange synthetic perfumes” and on whose dressing-room walls hang the “withered stumps of time”—the artistic record of the mythical past (“... and all this has been to her but as the sound of lyres and flutes, and lives only in the delicacy with which it has moulded the changing lineaments, and tinged the eyelids and the hands”). And she appears, finally, in “The Fire Sermon,” where she draws “her long black hair out tight,” while bats with baby faces in the violet light Whistled, and beat their wings And crawled head downward down a blackened wall (“... like the vampire, she has been dead many times, and learned the secrets of the grave”).

-- Thank you

Perception of the genre itself as one of the literary conventions in need for de- and re-construction - together with a number of other conventions. Like making it a part of a Baroque stylization as in Gunter Grass. Or turning it (together with family saga) into a 'bad endlessness' like in Marquez. Or making it just one of the personal memory strategies like in Waterland by Graham Swift.

hi waseem, 

interesting question .

New historicism can be employed as the  theoretical touchstone to analyze even recent writers.  Historical Knowledge manifested  in the form of  ‘historicism’ and ‘history’ is regarded as  fundamental embodiment of modernity and , I believe , postmodernism with a new perspective on terms like knowledge, reality, ideology and worldview.

Hi Levi,

I'm not sure what the basis of your search is of course, but if it is from a molecular point of view these reviews might be interesting to you: 

This review by Claudia Cremers and Ursula Jacob is very informative: http://www.jbc.org/content/early/2013/07/16/jbc.R113.462929

Rhimi is right, like a in the rest of Europe, the ancient Grrk mythology plays an imortant role in Early Modern English literature (latin was the common language of arts and science in those times all over Europe).

So the lover as one's other self is a rhetoric Topos ( a Motive that Comes up with different authors and in different historical periods.

It originates in Platons Symposion dialogue in the myth about the origin of peolpe , who were described as round balls, with 4 arms and 4 legs and two heads and they were said to be very powerful, so Zeus decided to weaken them by cutting them apart.

Since then every human is eager to find his or her other half....

This myth should explain the origin of eroticism...

good luck,

Late-Victorian England, of course, was the golden age of the literary fairy-tale. Lewis Carroll's Alice books and George Mac-Donald's The Princess and the Goblin had appeared shortly before Ford was born, and they were followed by dozens of imitations. The line between adult and juvenile fiction was less strict then than it is now, and adult writers like Charles Dickens, William Thackeray, Oscar Wilde, and Christina Rossetti, who was Ford's aunt by marriage, all wrote fairy stories; Ford's project was therefore not unusual.

and this book:

good  luck with your research

Dear Professor Nelson Orringer,

Nowadays, its difficult to relate literature and music due to film industry. But if we look back, we can say before inception of art, literature, music and dance were inter-related and was treated as single activity.

Based on your question "I want to test whether a variable (dependent) has the positive relation with another variable (independent)." collapse each of your clusters of three variables and undertake a bivariate correlation against the matching dependent variable for each case. Observe 1. whether there is correlation and 2. If correlation is present whether positive or negative. You could also collapse all independent variables and all dependent variables and undertake a bivariate correlation between all collapsed dependent and all collapsed independent variables. Again observe 1. whether there is correlation and 2. If correlation is present whether positive or negative

I agree with you in part, Segun Omidiora, but remember the start of the book: the Thames is as dark (if not darker) than the Congo river in the reminiscence of the old sailor who is telling the story :-).

There are some other important studies that haven't been mentioned which are excellent resources.  Lucinda Cole's article in Journal of Early Modern Cultural Studies (2010) on Macbeth; Karen Raber's  Animal Bodies, Renaissance Culture. Philadelphia, PA: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2013.  Cole also has a book coming out next year from Michigan, Imperfect Creatures: Vermin, Literature, and the Sciences of Life, 1600-1730.

For me, dear @Nelson the man in question is Fernand Contadin-Fernandel! :)
