Download or read book Knowledge Language and Silence written by Anna Brożek and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Izydora Dąmbska (1904-1982) was a Polish philosopher; a student of Kazimierz Twardowski, and his last assistant. Her output consists of almost 300 publications. The main domains of her research were semiotics, epistemology and broadly understood methodology as well as axiology and history of philosophy. Dąmbska’s approach to philosophical problems reflected tendencies that were characteristic of the Lvov-Warsaw School. She applied high methodological standards but has never limited the domain of analyzed problems in advance. The present volume includes twenty-eight translations of her representative papers. As one of her pupils rightly wrote: “Dąmbska’s works may help everyone [...] to think clearly. Her attitude of an unshaken philosopher may help anyone to hold oneself straight, and, if necessary, to get up after a fall”.
Download or read book Understanding Silence and Reticence written by Dat Bao and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the state of that which is not spoken? This book presents empirical research related to the phenomenon of reticence in the second language classroom, connecting current knowledge and theoretical debates in language learning and acquisition. Why do language learners remain silent or exhibit reticence? In what ways can silence in the language learning classroom be justified? To what extent should learners employ or modify silence? Do quiet learners work more effectively with quiet or verbal learners? Looking at evidence from Australia, China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, the book presents research data on many internal and external forces that influence the silent mode of learning in contemporary education. This work gives the reader a chance to reflect more profoundly on cultural ways of learning languages.
Download or read book Silence in English Language Pedagogy written by Dat Bao and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-02-09 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silence in language learning is commonly viewed negatively, with language teachers often struggling to interpret learner silence and identify whether it is part of communication, mental processing, or low engagement. This book addresses silence in language pedagogy from a positive perspective, translating research into practice in order to inform teaching and to advocate greater use of positive silence in the classroom. The first half of the book examines the existing research into silence, and the second half provides research-informed practical strategies and classroom tasks. It offers applicable principles for task design that utilises rich resources, which include visual arts, mental representation, poetry, music, and other innovative tools, to allow both silence and speech to express their respective and interrelated roles in learning. Comprehensive yet accessible, it is essential reading for academic researchers and students in applied linguistics, TESOL, and language teaching, as well as for language teachers and educators.
Download or read book The Silent Language written by Edward T. Hall and published by Anchor. This book was released on 1973-07-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading American anthropologist analyzes the many vitally important ways in which people "talk" to one another without the use of words. "The Silent Language shows how cultural factors influence the individual behind his back, without his knowledge." —Erich Fromm The pecking order in a chicken yard, the fierce competition in a school playground, every unwitting gesture and action—this is the vocabulary of the "silent language." According to Dr. Hall, the concepts of space and time are tools with which all human beings may transmit messages. Space, for example, is the outgrowth of an animal's instinctive defense of his lair and is reflected in human society by the office worker's jealous defense of his desk, or the guarded, walled patio of a Latin-American home. Similarly, the concept of time, varying from Western precision to Easter vagueness, is revealed by the businessman who pointedly keeps a client waiting, or the South Pacific islander who murders his neighbor for an injustice suffered twenty years ago.
Download or read book Silence in Intercultural Communication written by Ikuko Nakane and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2007-11-14 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How and why is silence used interculturally? Approaching the phenomenon of silence from multiple perspectives, this book shows how silence is used, perceived and at times misinterpreted in intercultural communication. Using a model of key aspects of silence in communication – linguistic, cognitive and sociopsychological – and fundamental levels of social organization – individual, situational and sociocultural - the book explores the intricate relationship between perceptions and performance of silence in interaction involving Japanese and Australian participants. Through a combination of macro- and micro- ethnographic analyses of university seminar interactions, the stereotypes of the ‘silent East’ is reconsidered, and the tension between local and sociocultural perspectives of intercultural communication is addressed. The book has relevance to researchers and students in intercultural pragmatics, discourse analysis and applied linguistics.
Download or read book The Power of Silence written by Carlos Castaneda and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-03-26 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journey into the secrets of shamanism continues as “don Juan takes Casteneda to the deeper realms of his teachings” (Milwaukee Journal). Carlos Castaneda takes the reader into the very heart of sorcery, challenging both imagination and reason, and shaking the very foundations of our belief in what is “natural” and “logical.” The Power of Silence is a brilliant flash of knowledge that illuminates the far reaches of the human mind. Through don Juan Matus’s mesmerizing stories, the true meaning of sorcery and magic is finally revealed. Honed in the desert of Sonora, the visions of don Juan give us the vital secrets of belief and self-realization that are transcendental and valid for us all. It is Castaneda’s unique genius to show us that all wisdom, strength, and power lie within ourselves—unleashed with marvelous energy and imaginative force in the teachings of don Juan—and in the writings of his famous pupil, Carlos Castaneda. “We are incredibly fortunate to have Carlos Castaneda’s books.” —The New York Times “His insights paved the way for the future evolution of human consciousness. We are all deeply indebted to him.” —Deepak Chopra

Download or read book Language and Silence written by George Steiner and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evolution and manipulation of language from the celebrated author of After Babel. “A keenly discriminating literary mind at work on what it loves” (The New York Times Book Review). Language and Silence is a book about language—and politics, meaning, silence, and the future of literature. Originally published between 1958 and 1966, the essays that make up this collection ponder whether we have passed out of an era of verbal primacy and into one of post-linguistic forms—or partial silence. Steiner explores the idea of the abandonment of contemporary literary criticism, from the classics to the works of William Shakespeare, Lawrence Durell, Thomas Mann, Leon Trotsky, and more.
Download or read book The Knowledge of Everything written by Anthony Wakefield Hill and published by New Generation Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the author says, 'In the course of this book, I have made the odyssey from Dark to Light - for the world as a whole ... In accordance with the knowledge of everything, my work deals variously with the subjects mainly concerning religion, art, science and psychology, these being the main parameters of our universe.' Anthony Wakefield Hill's fascinating journey into the meaning of mankind and the fabric of creation has as its central symbol the image of the cross. His own troubled life has indeed been a heavy cross to bear, but his excellent discussions on painting, form, paradox and human behaviour take the reader into 'a whole new world based on consciousness'. In discovering and mastering ourselves through consciousness, we can bypass the siren calls of false love, peer pressure, angst and material obsession. Then we can slip the surly bonds of earth and touch the face of our Maker - and the author will be our willing guide. The Knowledge of Everything is precisely that: a compendium of all facts pertinent to the running of the Cosmos, practical as well as theoretical. While necessarily a summary, this volume deals with every major aspect of existence, and proffers the fruit of fifty years' thinking and experience, won in the ferocious Battle for Life. ANTHONY WAKEFIELD HILL left school at fifteen with practically no qualifications, determined to make his way without any. Working for thirty-odd years in London as an itinerant labourer and artist, he learnt his trade as a writer. His first book, The One and the Many, was written, for the most part, when he was twenty, but not published for forty years owing to inproficient publisher's readers. This much-persecuted author is under continuing abuse from psychiatry - something God is getting very angry about. Having been misdiagnosed early on in his career, Mr Hill has never been given an objective or competent examination, and his case has been over-complicated by the number of inept doctors he has been under; the truth has been well-nigh irretrievably obscured. Is this writer, whom many hail as a prophet, to go to his grave with the appellation 'schizophrenic' around his neck? It is not the fact that he is intellectually sound that proves his mental integrity, for even that does not preclude illness; but the content of his work, and his manifest humanity, can surely leave the unbiased reader in no doubt of his emotional probity.

Instead, by learning through real-world linguistic situations, students can gain relevant experiences in the new language.

Download or read book The Art of Silence and Human Behaviour written by Theodor Itten and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-31 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the phenomenon of silence in relation to human behaviour from multiple perspectives, drawing on psychological and cultural-philosophical ideas to create new, surprising connections between silence, quiet and rest. Silence and being quiet are present in everyday life and in politics, but why do we talk about it so rarely? Silence can be cathartic and peaceful, but equally oppressive and unbearable. In the form of communication, we keep secrets to protect ourselves and others, but on the other hand subjects can be silenced with dictatorial posturing - a communicative display of power – and something can be literally ‘hushed up’ that needs to be disclosed. In unique and engaging style, Theodor Itten explores the multi-layered internal conversation on silence in relation to the self and emotions, demonstrating why it is sometimes necessary in our modern society. Describing and analyzing human behaviour in relation to silence, the book also draws on psychoanalytic ideas by outlining the power of silence in processing our emotions and relationships and hiding innermost feelings. With rich narrative signposts providing thought-provoking and amusing insights, and interpersonal communication examined in relation to everyday life, this is fascinating reading for students and academics in psychology, philosophy, cultural studies, and related areas.

Download or read book Speak Silence written by Idris Parry and published by Carcanet Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speak Silence is in the main a book about literature, and yet much more. It is about literature and life. Idris Parry's approach is personal; he treats books like other experienced phenomena, as clues, suggestions, introduction to thought. Literary criticism, like literature itself, is for him an important effort to find a way through country not visited before. His essays grip the reader in the way that the best short stories do. They are written 'boldly outwards for the cultivated reader, not nervously inward for the profession', as Bernard Crick commented in the Guardian. Parry is drawn by curiosity about small details - buttons and pebbles, asides and casual remarks. But then he shows how the imagination leads knowledge beyond experience. This impulse, as Parry says, led Goethe's Faust to make his pact with Mephistopheles; the existence of understanding beyond our knowledge and beyond the grasp of our language. Most of the writers he discusses are well-known Germans and Austrians who are still little more than names to many English readers; Goethe and Kleist, Buchner, Thomas Mann, Rilke and Kafka, Hesse, Hofmannsthal, Canetti and many others. Parry also approaches Laurence Sterne and Nathaniel West, he talks about the real and fake Munchausen, and he writes with enthusiasm about the Anglo-Welsh author Margaid Evans. These pieces retain in print the conversational contact of talk. Many began as broadcasts on BBC Radio 3. Of the twenty-eight essays in Speak Silence, five are new and the rest are taken from Animals of Silence (1972) and Hand to Mouth (1981).
