Chapter 1: CULTURAL ANALYSIS The chapter pertains to the cultural environment of Fiji. We try to research and examine everything about the customs, traditions, beliefs, behaviors, and practices of Fijians to find out what will be our product. The introduction, tells us the main points in Fiji’s cultural analysis. I. INTRODUCTION Fiji is an island and tropical country surrounded by 330 islands with two major islands, the Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Fiji is known for being the tourists spot in the
tourists like to visit this tribe, because they are very welcoming with them. Baliem Valley is located 1,500 meters above the sea with 50,000 people, half of the entire estimated Dani population. They speak half-dozen languages and dialects, related to other NonAustronesian language families of the Highlands, which belongs to the Religion and culture: Most of their religious rituals are related to placating the restless ghost of their own
Indonesia is now part of the Indian trade route not only is Indonesia now a hub for traders and commodities it is also a hub for information/new technologies and religion to. Since most of the traders that came to Indonesia to trade was Muslim Indonesians think that converting into Muslim would help make trading with the Muslim traders easier and that it could further their relationship. Then Muslim Influence spread through out Java and soon converted major kingdoms and their leaders, the first being
Malay is a language spoken in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, and Thailand. Malay comes from Austronesian languages which are divided into four groups. They are Indonesian, Malanesian, Autronesian, and Polynesian. Malay or Bahasa Melayu is a national language in Malaysia and it is used as a language instruction in education, in formal or informal settings or events. Malay and English language even differ in their origin and history. English comes from West-Germanic branch of Germanic in
aptitude of being inventive and rational, or which deploy languages which departed from the common usage. Global literature, on the other hand, has two different definitions where the first one explains it as the summation of all literatures of the world, including personal and nationalized work. The second definition is, global literature consists of the world’s classics, or the most sought after works that are read across time, ethnic and language borders in which they were produced and become the intercontinental
Without knowledge of any other languages, it is difficult to comprehend a community whom do not possess the ability to mentally construct the same meaningful concepts as oneself. It can be exceptionally easy to be misinterpreted in another language via the complex process of translation. Sure, what one person might say makes complete sense to themselves, but it makes less sense to the person you are speaking to for they do not share the same cultural backgrounds and values, and do not have a direct
using two or more than one variety. Researchers have made countless studies describing bilingualism as they create awareness in different ways. To begin with is Bloomfield (1933) who defined bilingualism as having the “native- like control of two languages”. However, Haugen (1953) pinpointed that bilingualism is the ability of a speaker to communicate and understand an additional variety. This is to mean that the concept of bilingualism exist only when an individual of a certain variety has the capability
Code-mixing can be understood as the swapping of languages that befalls within sentences, usually at the level of words or idiomatic expressions. Code-mixing is a certainty because these days a progressively large number of people are bilingual, trilingual or multilingual. Chances of code switching and code mixing thrive when people from different beliefs and speaking different languages cooperate with each other.

speaker has no choice but to encode this kind of information into the sentence. The languages require speakers to think about their family relationships when speaking of them. This is an example of linguistic relativity, or the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which holds that the language we speak shapes how we view the world. On the 1940's, a linguist named Benjamin Lee Whorf studied the Hopi – a Native American language spoken in northeastern Arizona. Based on his research, he claimed that speakers of
and the speech. At the same time, I will also analyze how the speaker’s purpose was translated into the speech, how the audience adapted with the speaker’s intention, and how the arguments were delivered to the audience with certain arrangement and language style. Delivered during an award show where the speaker won recognition as “Best Actor” of 2016, the speech was expected to be a ceremonial speech. As the occasion, one can easily identify the award as an exigence that required a speech of gratitude
‘arbitrary’ in the question illustrates a different meaning than its general definition. Arbitrary, under the context of language, simply means that word does not create meaning and there is no direct relationship between a word and an object. In addition, when the question states that language has rules, it refers to the semantic, syntax, and pragmatics rules that exist in language. Hence, to answer the question above, yes, it is a contradiction in terms; however, it is not a contradiction in
Why do so many humans share the same needs at the most basic level possible? As some part of the natural human mind or soul, all people share the same most basic needs and drives, as is shown frequently throughout hidden themes in most stories and novels. In I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai, the basic human need for control is shown frequently and in many different ways. Without the human need for control, Malala would have never been shot. The book I Am Malala is about a young girl who is at odds
Diversity, what does this unique word actually mean? Generally, this rare word means differences or variations or unlikeness. Today, research shows that diversity can be categorized into many context such as human context, ecological context, radio and telecommunications, business context and politics. However, Oxford English Dictionary offers different perspective diversity has another meaning for us to give a great focus on. They are pluralism, culture, gender, race, ethnicity, ethnic minority
Language is a social fact which also controls the individual. An individual is born in a society where a certain language is spoken this is how language is external to him. He is made to learn that language in order to communicate with others. Language exerts a constrain on the individual and communication because of vocabulary. According to the Swiss linguist and semiotician Saussure all languages are social facts. Saussure studied language according to Durkheim’s view that languages are social
The mandate to teach civic and moral character in the classroom and how it should be taught is disputed, especially including classic literature in the curriculum. Classic literature is defined as having some sort of outstanding quality that endures through time, agreed upon literary experts. Some educators and schools consider some content in classic literature too mature for school learning or being too complicated for classroom usage. They contend that it is archaic and unrelatable to the students

Language is said to be a representation of culture. Through Language - whether they are visual, verbal, or even objects - we are able to express ourselves in different ways and stand for certain concepts, ideas and feelings.

Tool III: infant with cleft lips and or palate oral feeding readiness assessment scale: Infant oral feeding readiness assessment scale (POFRAS) is comprised of five main categories with items that consist of: 1) Oral posture (lips and tongue posture); 2) Oral reflexes (rooting, sucking, biting and gag reflexes) 3) Non-nutritive sucking (tongue movement, tongue cupping, jaw movement, sucking strain, sucking and pause, maintenance of sucking/pause, maintenance of alert state and stress signs).
[6] on a reconfigurable chip, has been presented. The chip was a Field Programmable Analog Array (FPAA).The main aim of this framework was noise suppression in the speech signal to enhance speech quality. Computational problems occur in speech and language processing also. The best way to solve them is by using algorithms that optimise the values under consideration [7]. Features of speech have been matched between the source speaker and the target speaker using deep recurrent neural network [8]. This
