Occurrences of the allophones of a single phoneme are ( always sometimes often never) predictable. Allophones of a single phoneme are (sometimes often always never) phonetically similar. If two phonetically similar sounds are in complementary distribution, then they are (sometimes often always never) allophones of the same phoneme. If two sounds are in free variation, then they are ( sometimes always never) allophones of the same phoneme.

Citations (8) Abstract As linguistic diversity in schools continues to rise, more educators find themselves studying linguistics in teacher training programs. Unfortunately, the vast majority of introductory linguistics texts do not address their needs; such teachers are likely to find the texts inaccessible and irrelevant. Relevant Linguistics, written with teachers and future teachers in mind, provides a straightforward, accessible introduction to the basics of phonetics, phonology, morphology, and syntax. Request full-text PDF Citations (8) References (0). Despite being available in all languages, vocal and consonant sounds, the so-called segmental sounds, have diverse variety across different languages... In terms of learning English, students are called to produce such segmental sounds in properly in order to make ideal meanings as desirable during spoken communication using English. Notably, the chapter does not introduce acoustic phonetics, or provide training in experimental phonetics or field methods (c.f.. Old School Linguistics Made New: O’Grady et at, Contemporary Linguistics: An Introduction (Bedford St. Martin 2005) Article Full-text available Oct 2009 Wen-Chao Li Amidst the recent explosion of interest in linguistic science and the subsequent publication of large numbers of introductory works on the subject, O’Grady et al.’s Contemporary Linguistics (5th ed.) stands out as a solid general purpose primer directed at an academic audience. Written by some eighteen contributors specializing in each of the seventeen branches of linguistics covered, topics are judiciously chosen while drawing on current scholarship and integrating different theoretical persuasions, without losing sight of its target readership. The result is an up-to-date text balanced in its treatment of subject matter and perspectives -- a work that lives up to its moniker of “Contemporary” Linguistics. View Show abstract. However, this sort of expert's judgment is not without problems. Oh et al. (2000) and Chung and Nation (2003, 2004 ) relied on the intuition of a group of specialists in the field under study and found that some words identified by experts as technical turned out to be in the GSL and AWL lists. It is possible though that these words may assume technical functions in specific fields while at the same time being used with a general meaning in discourse outside those fields.. Preparing Business Vocabulary for the ESP Classroom Article Full-text available Mar 2014 Montri Tangpijaikul This research combines corpus-based and intuition-based approaches in developing a list of important words in business news that Thai learners of business English need to know. The Thai corpus of English for Business and Economic News (Thai-EBEN) has been compiled from English business news articles in the Thai press. A computer concordancing program was used to identify keywords in the corpus. The keywords are lemmatized and words irrelevant to business and economic activities weeded out using lexical profiling and a rating scale approach conducted by expert inter-raters. Ideas on how the derived keywords can be incorporated into vocabulary exercises are discussed. This conceptualization builds on scholars' realizations of the important links between equity and language and an ever-increasing body of resources related to language and teaching that is now available for English educators. The study addresses gaps in what researchers know about how to support new teachers as they negotiate understandings about language from their coursework, pre-existing beliefs, field experiences and ongoing practice. By describing the complex phenomenon of preservice teachers’ engagement with LIP—and the dilemmas related to enacting these LIP—this study offers a starting place for designing experiences and assessments that provide intersections among language-related domains, such as the teaching of writing, language study, and culturally responsive classroom interactions. Focusing on preservice English teachers’ dilemmas in practice, this study’s results include over twenty contextualized illustrations of preservice teachers’ classroom interactions, generated from a 1? year study that followed prospective teachers from coursework into student teaching. Drawing on case study methodology, the study incorporated qualitative and discourse analytic methods to establish dense description of the phenomenon of preservice teachers’ negotiation of the conflicts between LIP and FBL. These methods included prolonged engagement with participants, a semi-structured interview protocol, focused observation, and key artifacts of participants’ written work. Results describe language-related dilemmas in English language arts classrooms and linguistic and discourse analytic concepts that grounded participants’ responses to these dilemmas. The illustrations exemplify how participants engaged with LIP that enabled them to resist deficit ideologies in their interactions and ways of talking with and about students; how participants responded to unexpected moments of language complexity; and how they negotiated language-related dilemmas, engaging with standard language ideologies and obstacles to discussing language and race in relation to power. Pointing to future possibilities for addressing the complexity of teaching situations, this dissertation calls for teacher preparation to provide new teachers with flexible, adaptable approaches to engaging with linguistic principles in their teaching. The pedagogy for the course was carefully constructed to speak directly to the needs of educators (cf., Justice, 2004) while building on linguistic work in dialect studies and the experiences of other teacher educators (see Goodman, this issue). The fi rst class session was designed to reveal the students' own histories with language and to introduce them to linguistic theories of language variation (see Figure 1)..

Dixson View Language Alternation Article Full-text available May 2021 Mohammed Jasim Betti View Explicit and Meaningful: An Exploration of Linguistic Tools for Supporting ELLs' Reading and Analytic Writing in the English Language Arts. Article Full-text available Jan 2013 Jason Moore This dissertation explored ways in which teachers might offer explicit support and strategies for English Language Learners (ELLs) to read and respond to literature in analytical ways, a central goal of the English Language Arts (ELA). Data were collected as part of a larger development project that called upon socio-linguistic and socio-cultural theories of language and learning to design professional development materials and classroom lessons for primary-grade teachers in a high-poverty, urban school district. One strand of the project???s curriculum focused on supporting students to interpret and evaluate literary characters and to write arguments. The dissertation focused on three aspects of the project. The first area of investigation employed qualitative analysis of classroom conversations, offering evidence that grammatical metalanguage from systemic functional linguistics (SFL) and related artifacts can support ELLs in meaningful discussions about literature in which they interpret and evaluate characters. The second area of inquiry explored the implementation of writing lessons informed by socio-linguistic genre theory, as well as the students??? writing of character analysis, a form of argument valued in secondary ELA. Qualitative analyses found that students participated in classroom conversations that highlighted natural constraints and choices consistent with the target genre and its social purpose, but at times, the teachers imposed unnatural constraints on students. Sociolinguistic analyses of the students??? writing found that students successfully responded to the prompts, using language appropriate to the genre and its purpose. Specifically, students took varied evaluative stances in response to prompts, modified their interpretations of character attitudes using nuanced lexis, and provided differing, but relevant evidence in support of their claims. The last area of inquiry focused on the project???s Design-Based Research (DBR) approach, an iterative, cyclical research method committed to producing both instruction and theory in authentic classrooms. There are few concrete examples of how DBR is conducted to best support these goals, particularly the development of instructional theory. The dissertation offers one such example.

D.)--Southern Illinois University, 1974. Photocopy from microfilm of typescript. In teaching English grammar to second language learners, teachers often subscribe to their own set of personal beliefs that have been formed, most likely through their experience as well training. This applies as well to the teaching of grammar which has had various competing points of view in terms of how it should be taught. This paper examines teachers’ beliefs using data collected from a survey administered to 345 English language teachers in secondary schools in two states in Malaysia. The data was analysed according to how teaching experience, school location, and academic background can influence teachers’ views towards the importance of each of these emphasis in teaching grammar.

It is a medication made of killed or weakened cells, organisms or manufactured materials, which is used to boost the body's immune system. Ideally, this will allow the body to fight and kill the cancer cells more effectively. Vaccines include whole killed cancer cells or specific proteins from the cancer. It typically involves the surgical removal of the head of the pancreas, a portion of the duodenum and a portion of the bile ducts. This usually means that the cancer has spread beyond the areas that can be removed surgically. For example, a collection of pus is a tumor. This is a general term that can refer to either benign or malignant growths. An ultrasound devise can be placed at the end of a scope, and the scope inserted into the duodenum, providing very detailed pictures of the pancreas.It may occlude (block) the vessel or may be attached to the wall of the vessel without blocking the blood flow. It is sometimes referred to as Trousseau's sign. Sometimes this can appear as an oil slick on top of the toilet water after the patient has had a bowel movement. It can be a sign that the pancreas isn't functioning well. For example, pancreas cancers often grow into the bile duct as the bile duct passes through the pancreas. This can block the flow of bile and cause the patient to become jaundiced. In these cases the flow of bile can be reestablished by placing a stent into the bile duct, through the area of blockage. This organ is part of your immune system and filters the lymph and blood in your body. It is often removed during the distal pancreatectomy surgical procedure. Although most pancreatic cancers look like ducts under the microscope, a small fraction look like squamous cells. Clinicians use it to predict the likely survival of a patient. This can be life-threatening and is often treated with antibiotics. It helps absorb nutrients from food as the food is transported to the large intestine. There are three sections: the duodenum, the jejunum and the ileum. Due to its proximity to the pancreas, the duodenum is the section of the small intestine most often affected by pancreatic cancer. Radiation therapy is usually used to treat a local area of disease and often is given in combination with chemotherapy. Usually this means that the cancer is confined to areas typically removed surgically. Sarcomas are extremely rare in the pancreas. A primary cancer of the pancreas is one that started in the pancreas as opposed to a cancer that started somewhere else and only later spread to the pancreas. Importantly, making a prognosis is not an exact science. Some patients with poor prognosis beat the odds and live longer than anyone would have predicted. Steve Dunn's Cancer Guide has an excellent article on statistics and prognoses and stories of other cancer patients. This sphincter helps control the release of the stomach contents into the small intestine. Pathologists make the microscopic diagnosis that is used to establish the diagnosis of cancer. The peri-ampullary region is comprised of 4 structures; the ampulla, the duodenum, the bile duct and the head of the pancreas. It is sometimes difficult to tell which structure a tumor originated in.
