Another notion which helps speakers to manage longer stretches of spoken interaction is speech acts‚ a sequence of utterances “recognisable as a stock routine” in a given context or setting‚ where the pattern of exchanges is reasonably predictable (Arndt‚ et. al. 2000:70).

biblical line from the gospel of St. John (20:17). In English‚ it is usually rendered as “Touch me not.” This was what the risen Jesus told the startled Mary Magdalene when she tried to approach him after he had called her name. The meaning of this utterance has been the subject of much dispute‚ not least because it appears only in John and not in the other gospels. When later he appeared before his disciples‚ Jesus invited the doubting Thomas to touch his wounds. Yet he would not allow Mary‚ whose

He indicated a system of chattel slavery as it “enables the enemies of free institutions‚ with plausibility‚ to taunt us as hypocrites.” In other words‚ Lincoln was the admired president that fought for human equality. However‚ his meaning toward “emancipation of slaves” is slightly different what nowadays people think

Are the Sonnets‚ wholly or in part‚ autobiographical‚ or are they merely "poetical exercises" dealing with imaginary persons and experiences? This is the question to which all others relating to the poems are secondary and subordinate.

University Abstract: Tony Harrison is one of the representatives of the contemporary public poets whose poetry seems to be a language arena in which different narrative voices from different social milieus are imposed upon each other; whose different utterances ideologically orientated collide with each other at every nuance of the semantic level‚ and whose poetry features as double-voiced discourse. Due to this conspicuous feature‚ this thesis focuses its attention on the opposite voices in Harrison’s
