The first wave of variation studies established broad correlations between linguistic variables and the macro-sociological categories of socioeconomic class‚ sex class‚ ethnicity and age. The second wave employed ethnographic methods to explore the local categories and configurations

Disney says more ‘Star Wars’ heroine toys on way” by Ryan Nakashima‚ the author grapples with this controversial dilemma pervading the mind of many customers. A better restatement of this popular question however

as the third wave‚ an appellation that serves to distinguish them from the first and second waves of feminism while simultaneously marking them as a continuation thereof. The “waves” metaphor is used to denote continuity of movement containing swells and troughs rather than discrete‚ isolated periods of political involvement. The theoretical underpinnings of the third wave‚ therefore‚ come from three widely divergent streams of thought that coexisted during this time. Many third-wave writers talk

In this essay‚ I intend to analyse the language and images of two magazine advertisements that use a woman to sell a product. With a view of third-wave feminism and micro politics‚ I will ascertain if there is a politic present in the delivery of the message.

radio stations broadcast. A radio wave (radiating electric field) propagates out from the source‚ traveling at the speed of light. The source‚ for example an antenna‚ creates oscillating electric(E)/ magnetic(B) fields. These fields are perpendicular not only to each other but to the direction of the traveling wave‚ and travel away from the antenna. The electromagnetic wave is‚ therefore‚ a transverse wave. The electric/ magnetic fields store the energy of the wave. Basically‚ the oscillating current

Wave A is the S-wave Because the velocity starts at 4 and it reflects at 2‚900 km. also known as the outer core. Wave B is the P-wave because the velocity starts at 8 and it refracts at 2‚900 km. and it refracts at 5‚100 km. also known as the inner core. The mantle starts at 1‚800 km. because wave A and wave B both refract at that point and the outer core starts at 2‚900 km. because wave A reflects from that point and wave B refracts at that point. So the boundary from the mantle to the outer core
