Title: Eliot claimed to have made up the title‚ "The Hollow Men" from combining "The Hollow Land"‚ the title of a romance by William Morris with Kipling’s title‚ "The Broken Men". Many scholars believe this to be one of Ol’ Possum’s many false trails‚ instead believing it comes from a mention of ’hollow men’ in Julius Caesar or any of several references to Joseph Conrad’s Kurtz as hollow in some way (a ’hollow sham’‚ ’hollow at the core’). The title immediately presents us with the first of many

wording is why a literary text loses so much in paraphrase or translation. However‚ despite this importance of precise wording‚ the meanings of literary works are often disturbingly imprecise. Apparently‚ the linguistics choices in literature are not the concern of applied linguistics. It does not have the same kind of direct social and economic consequences as language education policy‚ or the spread of English as lingua franca.

Historical linguistics (also called diachronic linguistics) is the study of language change. It has five main concerns: to describe and account for observed changes in particular languages to reconstruct the pre-history of languages and determine their relatedness‚ grouping them into language families (comparative linguistics) to develop general theories about how and why language changes to describe the history of speech communities to study the history of words‚ i.e. etymology.

Pre-linguistic Development As linguistic development designates the stage when children are able to manipulate verbal symbols‚ it should be apparent that pre-linguistic development refers to the stage before the child is able to manipulate such symbols.

How does linguistic variation cue representations of a speaker’s social identity and‚ presumably‚ stereotypes about relevant social groups? Although studies have indicated that phonetic variation in speech may activate social stereotypes (Purnell‚ Idsardi & Baugh‚ 1999)‚ research on the mechanisms of this process has been scant. The term “stereotype” was introduced into the variations of sociolinguistic literature in Labov’s (1973) taxonomy of language forms charged with broad social meaning‚ reprised
