Terminology related to the raising of domestic animals in the ruthenian language of Vojvodina

Aleksandar Mudri

Summary

The aim of this book is to research the Ruthenian language fragments related to the conceptualisation and categorisation of domestic animals. An interdisciplinary framework of Cognitive Linguistic theories and methodologies were employed, including conceptual metaphor analysis, categorization, and association experiments.
This publication reveals prototypical members of domestic animal categories in the contemporary world image in the Ruthenian language of Vojvodina which is reconstructed through the results of association experiments. Considering the levels of research that show a petrified image of the world, manifested at the level of nominations and phraseologisms, the shift of certain members of these categories was followed. In that sense, a horse, a cow and a dog changed their places in categories, which also shows a change in human needs from domestic animals from labor-related assistance and providers of food to people's best and most loyal friends.

The Self-Serving Bias - How We...

William Rands

The self-serving bias is a common psychological phenomenon in which individuals attribute their successes to internal factors, such as their abilities or efforts, while blaming external factors for their failures. This tendency to favor oneself when interpreting outcomes is a deeply ingrained aspect of human behavior, and it plays a significant role in shaping our self-perceptions, interactions with others, and even our decision-making processes.
At its core, the self-serving bias serves to protect and enhance self-esteem. By crediting successes to internal factors, individuals reinforce their belief in their own competence and abilities. This, in turn, boosts confidence and motivates continued effort. On the flip side, by attributing failures to external, uncontrollable factors such as bad luck, difficult circumstances, or the actions of others, individuals avoid the negative emotional consequences of failure. This creates a shield that protects one’s self-image, allowing a person to maintain a positive outlook even when things go wrong.
One of the primary reasons for the self-serving bias is the desire to preserve self-esteem. Humans have an inherent need to view themselves in a positive light, and the self-serving bias is one of the mechanisms that help achieve this goal. It provides a way to maintain a sense of control over outcomes, particularly in challenging or uncertain situations. In this way, the bias helps individuals navigate the complexities of life without becoming overwhelmed by feelings of helplessness or inadequacy.

Lingo Wave

We broke our new series on learning Dutch down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series.
This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Dutch.
In Unit 1 you will hear Dutch decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said.
Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Dutch speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.
By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Dutch. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Dutch at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Dutch, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences.
In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.
