" A short history of the development of stylistics Stylistics is regarded a relatively new branch of philology, yet its roots go back as far as ancient Greece and Rome, where the rhetoricians (retoorikud) cultivated the art of clear and elegant use of language by developing and polishing stylistic devices. In the 18th century, an individualistic-psychological view on style and stylistics emerges. The late 19th and and early 20th centuries witnessed a utilitarian approach to stylistics. The tendency to regard stylistics as an applied science has been particularly marked in english- 1 speaking countries. It was believed here that the main aim of stylistics is to improve the style of the writer and of a textbook, that is to show how better to express one's thoughts. Of foreign linguists, it is the french Ch.Balley, G

Ta isa, Carl Wilhelm Kahlo, tuntud kui Guillermo Kahlo oli saksa päritoluga fotograaf, ta jäädvustas enamasti arhitektuuriliselt huvitavaid ehitisi ja maamärke. Kuigi Frida on väitnud, et ta on saksa-juudi päritoluga, sündis ta isa protestantlikusse perre. Viimastel väidetele põhinedes oli yta pärit hoopis tagashoidlikust katoliiklaste suguvõsast.

artists. This is very bad, because the viewer needs a certain benchmark, according to which he could assess the quality of the works presented. 1. THEORETICAL PART Any type of history is a discourse in its own right. What is more, when talking about art history, the discourses seem to flourish immensely from one into another, and so on into many more. In the context of the beginnings, one cannot but firstly reflect upon the artwork of graffiti. Later on, by the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, street art has evolved into complex interdisciplinary forms of artistic expression. From graffiti, stencils, prints and murals, through large-scale paintings and projects of artistic collaboration, to street installations, as well as performative and video art, it is very much safe to say that street art has found it’s way into the core of contemporary art. And rightly so. (Maric B. The History of Street Art, 2014 [https://www.widewalls

Needed secular milieu for the action of a novel depends not on divine intervention but on the exercise of choice by ordinary human beings. Change in 18th C – women started to choose partners -> genre that took as its centre courtship leading to marriage. Female chastity which ended in a virtuous marriage. It was to be the leitmotif of every novel imto the 20th C. But also the sexual imagination could be expressed. Daniel Defoe: Robinson Crusoe – story of a man cut adrift from civilisation, rugged economic individualism and a record of an inner life. Survival – key theme to Defoe’s three novels. Moll Flanders – Moll spiralsup and down driven by a desire for money and the maintenance of her genteel status. A Journal of the Plague Year – graphically reconstructs the terrible events of 1665.
Lowland areas, in the southern part of Scotland, are flatter and home to most of the population, especially the narrow waist of land between the Firth of Clyde and the Firth of Forth known as the Central Belt. Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland, although Edinburgh is the capital and political centre of the country. An abundance of natural resources such as coal, iron and zinc contributed significantly to the industrial growth of Scotland during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, energy is a major component of Scotland's economy. Whilst Scotland is the largest producer of petroleum in the European Union, the production potential of renewable energy has emerged as an important economic and environmental issue in recent years. Geology and geomorphology ! The geology of Scotland is unusually varied for a country of its size, with a large number of differing geological features

shipping of large bridge parts over long distances. A spirited debate ensued between England and the former colony during the last quarter of the 19th century over which system was best: easily erected pin-connected trusses on the "American plan," or European-style riveted trusses. Even though the rigid riveted truss was of superior design, American bridges remained competitive in world bridge markets until the early 20th century because they were cheaper and swiftly erected.

There still exists another gate to Toompea Short Leg. It was laid in the 15th century. The massive wooden gate with ironworks dates from the 17th century. Long Leg was used by vehicles. Until the 20th century there was no way down form the western side of Toompea except for a foot-path. The stairs were built in 1903 and are called Patkul Stairs. The name Patkul itself comes from Johann Patkul. He had worked against the Swede, so Patkul was remembered by Russians. In the Middle Ages that part of Toompea where the castle stands was called the Small Fortress. The rest of the hill with the homes of the feudal lords and bishop of Tallinn was called the Big Fortress

significantly disrupt the Canadian economy, and the nation would lose a sizable proportion of its GDP. The second most pressing problem for Canada has been the migration of some of its best educated and trained workers to the United States. This "brain drain" is the result of lower taxes and higher wages in the United States. Finally, Canada's dependence on trade makes it vulnerable to slow downs in the economies of its major trade partners. This is especially true of the United States. In the 20th century, when the United States experienced economic recessions or depressions, Canada soon after suffered similar economic problems. Industry Although the automotive industry is the dominant industrial force in Canada, the nation's industrial base is highly diversified. In addition to the manufacture of cars and car parts, major Canadian industries include electronics, processed and unprocessed minerals, food products, wood and paper products, chemicals, and petroleum and natural gas
Patrick White was a world-famous Australian writer. In 1973, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. He has published 12 novels, two short-story collections and eight plays. Sally Morgan's "My Place" was considered a breakthrough memoir in terms of bringing indigenous Australians stories to wider notice. Alexis Wright and Tara June Winch are also famous Aboriginal writers. Film: The film-making in Australia started at the beginning of the 20th century. The most famous Australian actors are Mel Gibson, Nicole Kidman, Russel Crowe, Cate Blanchett and Heath Ledger. Some famous movies are, for instance, "Happy Feet", "The story of the Kelly Gang" and "Moulin Rouge". Ned Kelly was an Australian bushranger, and, to some, a folk hero for his defiance of the colonial authorities.

Vietnamese immigrants began settling in the Czech Republic during the Communist period, when they were invited as guest workers by the Czechoslovak government. Today, there are an estimated 70,000 Vietnamese in the Czech Republic. In contrast to Ukrainians, Vietnamese come to the Czech Republic to live permanently. At the turn of the 20th century, Chicago was the city with the third largest Czech population, after Prague and Vienna. According to the 2006 US census, there are 1,637,218 Americans of full or partial Czech descent. 16 CULTURE Cuisine. Czech cuisine is marked by a strong emphasis on meat dishes.

The first public radio signal was sent out from Sydney. Theatre Theatre in Australia can be divided into four categories: 1788-1849 The early years 1850-1899 The golden years 1900-1949 The shifting concern 1950-today The new foundations We can say that A. Phillip founded theatre in Australia. In the golden years, it was strongly affected by the English and Italian opera. The first ballet was introduced in 1855. Because cinema and radio became very popular in the beginning of the 20th century, theatre lost its fans and was not as popular as in the golden years. Literature The oldest type of literature in Australia is the aboriginal poetry, which is quite popular even today, as it is found everywhere. The most famous poets are C.Harpur, H.Kendall, G.G. McCrae. Today, crime fiction is the most popular genre. Australians love the writings of K.Greenwood, as they are exciting and thrilling.

1) Standard and non-standard varieties of English Standard varieties of English are the varieties of the English language that are considered to be a norm and are spoken and written by the minority (educated people). This is the optimum for educational purposes. The standard varieties of English are: BrEng (British), EngEng (English), NAmEng (North-America), USEng (United States), CanEng (Canada), AusEng (Australia), NZEng (New Zealand).

In his autobiography Something of Myself (1935) , Kipling makes no mention of his years of suffering, just as he also avoids mention of the other tragedies in his life. He continued to write, and to develop his art, right up until the end of his life. Peak of his career The first decade of the 20th century saw Kipling at the height of his popularity. In 1907 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. The prize citation said: "In consideration of the power of observation, originality of imagination, virility of ideas and remarkable talent for narration which characterize the creations of this world-famous author." Nobel prizes had been established in 1901 and Kipling was the first English language recipient. At the award ceremony in Stockholm on 10 December 1907, the
associated with the United Kingdom since its creation. Throughout its history, the United Kingdom has been a major exporter and source of musical innovation in the modern and contemporary eras, drawing its cultural basis from the history of the United Kingdom, from church music, from Western culture and from the ancient and traditional folk music and instrumentation of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. In the 20th century, influences from the music of the United States became most dominant in popular music. This led to the explosion of the British Invasion, while subsequent notable movements in British music include the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and Britpop. The United Kingdom has one of the world's largest music industries today, with many British musicians having had an impact on modern music. Art Galleries 6

From 1807 to 1811, British-Portuguese forces would successfully fight against the French invasion of Portugal, while the royal family and the Portuguese nobility, including Maria I, relocated to the Portuguese territory of Brazil, at that time a colony of the Portuguese Empire, in South America. This episode is known as the Transfer of the Portuguese Court to Brazil. With the occupation by Napoleon, Portugal began a slow but inexorable decline that lasted until the 20th century. This decline was hastened by the independence in 1822 of the country's largest colonial possession, Brazil. In 1807, as Napoleon's army closed in on Lisbon, the Prince Regent João VI of Portugal transferred his court to Brazil and established Rio de Janeiro as the capital of the Portuguese Empire. In 1815, the Portuguese Empire changed its name to the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves.

by 85% by 2050 to fulfill projected demand by population (Karp, 2011). In the recent decades, the food consumption in the most populous counties has shifted from grain-based diets to meat and dairy diets. Meat production requires times more biomass in the form of animal feed and that puts further pressures on natural resources. As food production is very energy intensive, it is closely linked to global energy consumption. Global fuel consumption has grown 50-fold since the end of the 20th century and it is projected to increase by another 55% by 2030 (Umbach, 2010). That is the reason why new resources for fuel are being sought and biofuels receive subsidies, and investment in development. In addition, transport sector is one of the largest primary energy consumers, and as the travel and car ownership is predicted to increase, more fuel needs to be dedicated to transport (Karp, 2011.

parts of Halliste flood-plain meadow) has been the gradual decrease of flood-plain meadow due to forestation. Predominantly, forestation has increased on higher parts of relief and advanced at the forest edges. In 1959 the botanic reserve `Halliste wooded meadow' was founded, and in this region the nature protection methods were applied for the first time. The foundation of the reserve could not restrain the overgrowth of flood-plain grasslands with forests in the area. In the 20th century the grassland community in the particular region decreased by 76%. Within the frame of the European Union programme LIFE-Nature, 1994 hectares of flood-plain meadows are planned to be restored in Soomaa National Park by the year 2009. Flood-plain grassland vegetation was studied in Soomaa National Park on two relatively similar moisture regime but different management regime flood-plain grassland community types, in total in 11 flood-plain grassland communities

They were passed on from generation to generation and quite often the actions were later performed without any thought being given to the original. As time passed, rural costums penetrated towns, where they were adapted to modern living conditions. The townfolk also introduced customs with an international character. Those new traditions included, for exmaple April Fool's Day, the Christmas tree and Santa Claus at the beginning of the 20th century. According to research, the Estonian folk calendar contains about a hundred memorable days(some observed only locally) St. Martin's Day and St. Catherine's Day (both in november) are still considered quite popular entertainment for young people. Most Estonain families consider Christmas the most imporant holiday of the year and ' going home for Christmas' is as popular in Estonia as elsewhere in the world.

Witchcraft Witchcraft is the alleged use of supernatural or magical powers. A witch (from Old English wicca m. / wicce f.) is a practitioner of witchcraft. Historically, it was widely believed that witchcraft involved the use of these powers to inflict harm upon members of a community or their property, and that all witches were in league with the devil. Since the mid 20th century, the term witchcraft has sometimes been used to distinguish between bad witchcraft and good witchcraft, with the latter often involving healing. Human misfortune was often blamed on a supernatural entity or a known person in the community. Reasons for accusations of witchcraft fall into four general categories: · A person was caught in the act of positive or negative sorcery · A well-meaning sorcerer or healer lost their clients' or the authorities' trust

than 6 seconds on the screen, because "this would cause automatic re-reading of the subtitle, especially by fast readers". These statements have been decisive to the creation of the so-called "6 second rule", which has become a best-known teaching standard for subtitling over the years. Mayoral (2001, 4) mentions variable reading speeds for cinema (10 frames per foot of film--between 14 and 15 characters per second), as used by the Ameri- can company 20th Century Fox, while the values for television and video would be lower. The author also mentions the television subtitling software program used by the company Screen Subtitling System Ltd, which proposes reading speed fig- ures of 9 characters per second for adults, and half to two third equivalent ones for children. As far as the usage of reading speeds expressed in WPM and how adequate it may be in different countries, Mayoral affirms:
English literature is one of the oldest literatures in Europe; dates back to the 6th century AD. Oral literature, i.e. not written down, spread from person to person. In 449 AD Anglo-‐Saxon tribes invaded England – beginning of the Anglo-‐Saxon period in English literature. The first form of literature was folklore, carried by scops and gleemen, who sang in alliterative verse (a kind of simple poetry). Prose developed much later. The first form of recorded English literature was the epic Beowulf, which was produced sometime near the end of the 7th and beginning of the 8th century. It has no ...

other British universities and more broadly to describe characteristics reminiscent of them, often with implications of superior social or intellectual status.[1] Civic universities - Red brick university (or redbrick university) is a term originally used to refer to six civic universities founded in the major industrial cities of Great Britain in the 19th century. The term is now used more broadly to refer to British universities founded in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in major cities.[1] All of the six original redbrick institutions, or their predecessor institutes, gained university status before World War I and were initially established as civic science or engineering colleges.[2][3][4][5][6][7] Plate-glass universities = campus universities The term plate glass university (or plateglass university or plate-glass university) refers to a group of universities

The controversy between the two nations, the Israelites and Palestinians and their ancestors, has lasted for more than a century. It has given rise to many questions and different historical visions. Many uninitiated bystanders as well as journalists guess that the roots of the problem exist in the deeper history of the area. With the present study and historical discussion, the author is trying
Tallinn 2013 Ott Speek Subject: English Geodesy Study group: GI-21b PETROLEUM PRESENTATION Petroleum (L. petroleum, from Greek: Πέτρα (rock) + Latin: oleum (oil) is a naturally occurring flammable liquid consisting of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights and other liquid organic compounds, that are found in geologic formations beneath the Earth's surface. The name Petroleum covers both naturally occurring unprocessed crude oils and petroleum products that are made up of refined crude oil. A fossil fuel, it is formed when large quantities of dead organisms, usually zooplankton and algae, are buried underneath sedimentary rock and undergo intense heat and pressure. Petroleum is recovered mostly through oil drilling. This comes after the studies of structural geology (at the reservoir scale), sedimentary basin analysis, reservoir characterization (mainly in terms of porosity and perme...
huvile muusika vastu suudeti sellele vaatamata rakendus leida ja viie aastaselt pandi ta klaverit õppima. Ta hakkas harjutama naabri klaveril Sigismund Stojowski käe all. Teismeeas hakkas ta muusikaga ka raha teenima ja sai väljaõppe kompositsioonis Rubin Goldmarki käe all. 1930. aastal saabus Newman Hollywoodi ja hakkas seal dirigendina tööle. Seal sai ta eratunde ekspressionismi rajaja Arnold Schönbergi käest. 1940. aastal algas Newmani 20 aasta pikkune kärjäär muusikalise juhina 20th Century Foxi Stuudios. Newman kirjutas tussi, mis saadab stuudio logo Foxi toodetud filmide alguses, mis on samal eesmärgil kasutusel ka tänapäeval. Foxi stuudiole töötades arendas ta välja Newmani Süsteemi, millega sai sünkroniseerida filmi tegevuse sellele loodud muusikaga. Newmani Süsteem on siiani kasutusel. Newmani üle neljakümne aasta kestnud karjääri jooksul jõudis ta komponeerida muusika enam kui kahesajale filmile. (Alfred Newman...: 2005)
a lot of efforts to arrange everything. There is always an interesting cultural programme of concerts, exhibitions, festivals etc. for every Games. 6)Russia joined the Olympic movement in 1952. Since then it has won a lot of gold, silver and bronze medals. In 1980 Moscow hosted the XXII Olympic Games. The latest Olympic Games were held in Atlanta. Russian sportsmen most recent got medals for setting up new records in many events. Travelling 1)The scientific and technological progress of the 20th century has allowed people to overcome time and distance, to cover in the twinkling of an eye the vast expanse of our planet. The whole world is open now. The limitations of former times have ceased to exist. 2)Modern life is impossible without travelling. To begin with most of us in big cities travel every day to our schools, offices and factories. For some people it is quite a trek to get from home to work. They go by underground, they change to a bus or they take a taxi.
stylistics. According to this view style bears the stamp of individual usage, that is every writer has a unique pattern of habits that form his style (e.g. W. Woolf - some of her starting phrases begin with "For"). This approach is best illustrated in the well-known dictum of the French poet and stylist Georges Louis de Buffon: "Style is the man himself". The late 19th century and early 20th century saw the appearance of the utilitarian (pragmatic) approach to stylistics: the tendency to regard stylistics as an applied science it has been particularly strong in the English speaking countries. It was believed that the chief aim of the stylistics is to improve the style of the reader, to teach him to express his thoughts better (e.g. FGI 1081 Stylistics (I. Ladusseva) 4 G. H
The second period of his career extended from 1882 to 1895, in which he dropped the "international theme" and wrote his tales of subtle studies of interpersonal relationships. Between 1895 and 1960, he wrote a few novellas and tales dealing with childhood and adolescence, which was a reveal of his earlier theme of innocence in a corrupted world. The most famous of these are the enigmatic The Turn of the Screw and What Maisie Knew. In the first four years of the 20th century, James wrote three great novels The Ambassadors, The wings of the Dove, and The Golden Bowl which represented the summit of his art. In the last years of his life, he wrote some American impressions and some autobiographical matter, and left two novels, The Ivory Tower and The Sense of the past unfinished. During his life time, his fame rested largely upon his handling of his major fictional theme, "the international theme": the meeting of American and Europe,
It is a relatively new branch in philology; yet, its roots go back as far as ancient Greek and Rome where the rhetoricians cultivated the art of clear and elegant use of language. 18th cent--emerged an individualistic-psychological view on style and stylistics. According to that, style bears the stamps of individual usage: every writer has a unique pattern of habits and abilities that form his style. Fr. Poet Buffon: "Style is the man himself." Late 19th, early 20th century--appeared a utilitarian approach to style remotely linked with ancient rhetoric. It became important to improve the style of a text and show the author how better express his thoughts. (Vallins, Lucas) There was also another tendency in that time--to regard style as a study of form separated from content. (Saintsbury, Bally, Marouseau, Aronstein, Deutchbein) 50s, 60s--rapid growth of interest in stylistics. Various conferences--USA 1958, Poland 1960
At its worst it is a world of crack on the streets, insensate violence, anomie, and the most desperate kind of poverty. The fact is that we live in a disintegrating culture. In the words of Ron Miller, editor of Holistic Review: "Our culture does not nourish that which is best or noblest in the human spirit. It does not cultivate vision, imagination, or aesthetic or spiritual sensitivity. It does not encourage gentleness, generosity, caring, or compassion. Increasingly in the late 20th Century, the economic-technocratic-statist worldview has become a monstrous destroyer of what is loving and life-affirming in the human soul." WHAT EDUCATION MUST BE FOR Measured against the agenda of human survival, how might we rethink education? Let me suggest six principles. First, all education is environmental education. By what is included or excluded we teach students that they are part of or apart from the natural world. To teach economics, for example, without reference to
Stylistics has no fixed single unit of study. Stylistics studies everything that makes the utterance of the text expressive.

Present day stylistic studies have gradually taken a more systematic course
