    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.

    employs a host of expressive means ranging from linguistic to paralinguistic and extralinguistic features. It is the natural language‚ however‚ whose systematic variation on all levels of its structure (phonology‚ morphology‚ lexicology and syntax) offers the widest possibilities of suiting its use to fit communicative functions of discourses in various contexts.

Nearly all linguists have accepted a linguistic model in which semantics is at one end and phonetics at the other‚ with grammar somewhere in the middle. However‚ until recently‚ semantics has been the ‘Cinderella’ of linguistics‚ a branch that had been

    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. Consequently‚ this stage is sometimes called the pre-symbolic stage.
