Tone Control

Hugo Raines

Sinopse

"Tone Control" explores the subtle yet powerful ways poets use punctuation and syntax to shape a poem's emotional impact. It argues that tone isn't just an abstract feeling but a deliberate construct achieved through careful linguistic choices. For example, a comma can create hesitation, while a period can convey assertiveness, demonstrating how poets manipulate these tools to evoke specific responses. This book offers a unique perspective by focusing on measurable linguistic features, moving beyond subjective impressions.

 
The book examines how punctuation, often seen merely as grammatical, functions as a tool for pacing and emotional coloring. Similarly, the arrangement of words, or syntax, can create formality, urgency, or even chaos. Diving into these mechanics unlocks a richer appreciation of poetic expression and refines our understanding of language's emotive capabilities.

 
The book systematically progresses, beginning with fundamental concepts and culminating in case studies that analyze poems from different periods and styles.

Teachers and Translators: Enhancing their Reading and Writing Skills recommends that language teachers incorporate the reading and writing connection together with the influence of L1 culture as essential elements to achieve textual competence in the target language. The use of challenging magazine and newspaper articles with post-intermediate and advanced language learners has always been a priority in ESP (English for Specific Purposes). The purpose is to activate students' background knowledge, consolidate their critical thinking skills, raise their awareness in relation to varieties of English, figures of speech and coinages and, at the same time, encourage classroom research in such fields as journalese, legal and business English. Expository essay-writing is also incorporated in the course, following such patterns as the Comparison and Contrast essay and the Classification form

Thank you for your interest in the audiocourse Technical Italian by Audioacademyeu. The course is designed for beginners to slightly advanced learners and focuses on vocabulary you can use in the technical field.The course is based on contextual learning, which means that you will not only learn words, but also sentences in which you can use the words you have learned. In this course you will find a total of 900 words and practice sentences.The individual lessons are structured according to the topics of activities, quality, logistics, tools/equipment, dimensions and characteristics. They contain words and example sentences that will help you communicate better when solving technical problems. At the same time, you can use this course to refresh your Italian from a beginner to pre-intermediate level.What is the best way to work with the course? Choose the lesson you want to start with. Each lesson contains six tracks. First, familiarize yourself with the actual vocabulary (tracks 1 and 2). In order to get a better grip over the new expressions in Italian, in track one you hear the Italian word twice.Next, you have a word followed by a contextual sentence, again in both translation options (tracks 3 and 4). Then you move on to complete sentences (tracks 5 and 6). ). Again, in track 5, you will hear the sentence in Italian twice. Once you have mastered translating sentences from English into Italian (lesson 6) in the time gap before the English translation, you have won. The words alone will help you in understanding the meaning, but using the mastered complete sentences will help you communicate much better.There is a script to this course available for free download at www.audioacademyeu.eu which will make your activities with the course much more effective. In its introduction, you will find a learning guide along with helpful tips on how to make the lessons more effective and a lesson plan for you to record your learning progress.

The France Alphabet

David Lawday

The France Alphabet is a wry, informative handbook for the discerning international traveller on how to handle the French. It offers essential A-Z insights into France and its ways through a snap alphabetic look at characters, traditions and historical events that together get to the essence of who the French are. France's best known writers and thinkers over the centuries come under the handbook's microscope with a light, challenging touch, as do world figures like Napoleon and Joan of Arc as well as France's role in high fashion, sex and the art of staying slim. For newcomers to France, indeed also for those already acquainted with its ways, The France Alphabet gives fresh insider counsel on how to discuss these things, some extremely touchy, when in French company. Each A-Z feature, from A is for Art, through R is for Revolution to Z is for Zola is the selection of English author David Lawday, who has long made France his home and has a French wife. Each one - with a brisk commentary and matching cartoon - epitomizes what it is that helps make the French the way they are.
