The Scope of Psycholinguistics

Psycholinguistics basicly derives from two different study of sciences,there are psychology and linguistics. Psychology deals with human minds while linguistics deals with the study of language. So, we can conclude that psycholinguistics studies about the cognitive process when human use the language to communicate with others.Psycholinguistics tries to disperse the psychological processes that take place when some one say the sentences at the time he listens to communicate and how language is acquired by humans. Then theoretically the main goal is to find a psycholinguistic theory of language that is linguistically and psychologically acceptable to explain the nature of language and acquisition.Psycholinguistics scope is categorized into tree major scopes. 1.Comprehension Comprehending language involves a variety of capacities, skills,processes, knowledge, and dispositions that are used to derive meaning from spoken, written, and signed language. 2.Speech Production Speech Production

Agha Shahid Ali

Agha Shahid Ali, the famous Kashmiri-American poet and self-described 'multiple exile', was undoubtedly the most accomplished english-language poet of the modern era. In many poems in The Half-Inch Himalayas , Agha Shahid Ali depicts his ancestors and ancestral objects, such as bangles, Dacca gauzes, and his parents' old home, as decaying or in the process of being destroyed. These images create a sense of loss of something that cannot be regained in the poems. Similarly, the poems "Cracked Portraits" and "Snowmen" speak of ancestors, death, and decay. The speakers in both poems both acknowledge and transcend their ancestral legacies. In the poem "Snowmen," Ali depicts his ancestors as snowmen--something that is only temporary, that melts away. "Cracked Portraits" also portrays the speaker's ancestors through objects that are temporary, the cracking, decaying family paintings. The poems, "Snowmen," "Cracked

Content Words and Function Words

                                                          Content Words Content words are the words that carry the content or the meaning of a sentence.They are sometimes called open-class words.Content words contrast with function words such as articles,conjunctions,auxiliary verbs and pronouns. Nouns,verbs,adjectives and adverbs are the content words.Content words have lexical meaning but function words do not have lexical meaning.                                                            Function Words Function words are the words that do not have clear lexical meaning or obvious concept associated with them.They express grammatical relationships with other words within a sentence.Prepositions,articles,auxiliary verbs,conjunctions and pronouns are function words.They are called function words because they have a grammatical function.For example,the articles indicate whether a noun is definite or indefinite- the boy or a boy.The preposition "of" indicates possession as in

Derivation

Derivation is the process of forming a new word on the basis of an existing word, e.g. happi-ness and un-happy from happy, or determination from determine.It is the formation of new words by adding "affixes" to other words or morphemes.In the formation of "eatable" from "eat",or "disagree" from "agree",for example,we see the formation of different words,with their own grammatical properties.Derivation stands in contrast to the process of inflection. Inflection applies to all members of a part of speech while derivation applies only to some members of a part of speech.

Inflection

In grammar, inflection or inflexion is the modification of a word to express different grammatical categories such as tense, grammatical mood, grammatical voice, aspect, person, number, gender and case. Conjugation is the inflection of verbs; declension is the inflection of nouns, adjectives and pronouns.It is the process of adding an "afix" to a word or changing it in some other way according to the rules of the grammar of a language.An inflection expresses one or more grammatical categories with an explicitly stated prefix, suffix, or infix, or another internal modification such as a vowel change.The inflected form of a word often contains both a free morpheme and a bound morpheme.For example, the English word "cars" is a noun that is inflected for number, specifically to express the plural; the content morpheme "car" is unbound because it could stand alone as a word, while the suffix "s" is bound because it cannot stand alone as a word.

“THE RAPE OF THE LOCK”---MOCK-EPIC POEM

The epic is a narrative poem of supposed divine inspiration treating of a subject of great and momentous importance for mankind, the characters of the story are partly human and partly divine, and the language and style in which the incidents are related are full of elevation and dignity. If a long narrative poem should satisfy all the tests of epic poetry, but if the subject which is celebrated be of a trivial nature, like the cutting off a lock of a woman’s hair, which is the story that is related in Pope’s “The Rape of the Lock”, then such a poem is called a mock-epic. A mock-epic poem is supposed to be the inspiration of a Muse and the language is stilted and grandiose, but the subject is of very frivolous and of commonplace nature. Mock-epic or mock-heroic or heroi-comical terms are applied to literary works in which the epic or heroic tradition is ridiculed. Characteristics of “The Rape of the Lock” as a mock-epic poem: 1.
