Edgar Allan Poe's Theory of Literature
Edgar Allan Poe's Theory of Literature considers the Boston native's core ideas about what he conceives of this art of language. Without being articulated as a treatise, his formulations contain elements that give meaning to literary knowledge from the other side, from that position where the critic and essayist examines what underlies the composition of this linguistic form that opens the expression of colloquial language to insert us into a new space of the word. In the case of Allan Poe, some of his ideas are elaborated by taking his own composition as a motive for analysis, as he does with the poem The Raven, where he goes step by step through the creative strategies he used in his text. For the American author there are fundamental notions that writing should contain, formulating them with a critical sense. And although he does not do it with academic rigor or philosophical conceptual refinement, there are in his statements, theses and principles that serve as a basis for understanding what exists in literary creation.

In this respect Bakhtin's, Kristeva's and Barthes' contributions regarding 'intertextuality', Hutcheon's Theory of Adaptation and Sanders arguments about adaptations and appropriation are referred to while examining the two texts.

In 1977 I edited and published Speakers' Corner Anthology, writings by speakers and about speakers plus photos and illustrations, until now out of print and quite rare.

Revitalizing the Gidar in Guider City
The revitalization of endangered languages is a field of sociolinguistics that emerged in the 1990s. Having established this, the Guider language in the town of Guider needs to be revitalized by proposing ways and means. The revitalization of the Guidingar language in Guider was carried out with the collaboration of 200 interviewees and 20 heads of families. The question around which this work was built is: How can Guidar be promoted and protected, and what are the various measures for revitalizing this language in the town of Guider? The hypothesis formulated is: the revitalization of Guidar depends on its speakers. After analysis, Guidingar is an endangered language that needs to be revitalized in Guider. For this reason, this work uses Fishman's EGIDS to assess the degree of erosion of Guidingar in the city of Guider, in order to suggest ways of contributing to its revitalization.

Writing South Africa's social crisis
Nadine Gordimer's novels sow the seeds of optimism to save the people of South Africa. Her work is an invitation to have faith in a new South Africa. Indeed, at the same time as contributing to change, the writer provokes a psychological crisis to achieve it. Through her writing, she justifies the fact that the white man, in his desire to control everything, has mistaken the capacities of the black man. The way South African society works has created inequalities. These are the seeds of the people's suffering. To redress the balance, the writer has to react, raising questions to challenge the players in social life. It was therefore important for Gordimer, as a woman of letters, to get involved through literature, and to help make society as a whole aware of the evil that was eating away at it. This choice for a writing of hope is a revolution against the established order. Its implication calls for a change in the management policy that has been in place for decades. In a word, we need to give meaning to sacrifice through the characteristics of narrative.

This will kill that
Thus, this book aims to trace Victor Hugo's point of view, as he explains in the second chapter of Book Five of Notre-Dame de Paris, on the development of representations of human thought through time in different cultures, from mythological primitive thought to complex philosophical systems, from dogma to freedom, from architecture to literature. At the end of his research, the author finds that architecture is mankind's first literature, and literature as we know it, in fact, is the second mode of expression of human thought, and has much in common with architecture. That's why he calls it "the edifice of literature" and "the second Tower of Babel".

The passive voice and similar structures in Bundestag speeches
According to foreign language theory, childhood is the best time to learn languages. But my observation is quite different, because in the course of my lessons I simply notice that the pupils are unable to form a sentence or write a short text. They are silent in unison. These difficulties that I noticed in them prompted me to think about certain things and to help them with other strategies.The aim of my work is therefore to create autonomy in language learning through the structures of the Passive Way and its corollaries, so that learners of German receive the support of effective materials in class and after class at the same time. This means that learners can constantly develop their language skills so that communication channels with speakers of the target language are established and expanded.

Teaching Listening Comprehension to EFL Students
Listening comprehension is an important part of English as Foreign Language (EFL). It is one of the four languages skills learners have to master. But it is often ignored by foreign and second language teachers. While the other three language skills receive direct instructional care, teachers frequently expect learners to develop their listening capability by osmosis and without help. Therefore, the listening skill should be a major area of concern to teachers and to learners of EFL class. This research work is structured into six chapters. Chapter 1 deals with the introduction to the study and includes problem statements, the purpose of the study, the significance of the study, the research questions and hypotheses and the limits of the study.

In later chapters, the scope of the book expands to look more broadly at translation automation in audiovisual translation and localisation. Importantly, the book also examines the sociotechnical context, focusing on ethics and sustainability. Enhanced with activities, further reading and resource links, including online support material on the Routledge Translation studies portal, this is an essential textbook for students of translation studies, trainee and practising translators, and users of MT and multilingual LLMs.

Anglicisms in the Bosnian-Herzegovinian context
Languages have a natural tendency to evolve, change and mirror the new cultural/socioeconomic trends and scientific and technological advancements. A part and parcel of this fluidity is incorporation and/or adaptation of a number of foreign words. Due to multiple reasons, a language that seems to be the source of a vast number of borrowed words in different languages is English. Thus, Bosnian has been impacted in a similar way, resulting in a very noticable use of English loanwords, i.e. anglicisms among the Bosnian population.Although the presence of Anglicisms in certain specialized areas in scientific and technical domains in the Bosnian language has been examined before, prior research lacks a sociolinguistic orientation. To this date, there has been no study that examined the relationship between the usage of Anglicisms and the level of understanding of both a written form and its meaning in the Bosnian language among the youth in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In order to gain a deeper look into the topic, the present work investigates Bosnian & Herzegovinian high school students' usage and knowledge of contemporary Anglicisms.

Discourse Structures and Social Cognition
This thesis draws on critical discourse analysis (CDA) as an approach to discourse analysis. CDA is reviewed with a focus on its methodological openness. T. A. Van Dijk's sociocognitive approach is combined with Corpus Linguistics. Lexicalisation, repetition, and nominalisation are analysed in a corpus compiled to cover David Cameron's speeches between 2005 and 2014. The interpretation of the findings taking into account the context structure of the corpus and features of continuity and change in the use of the three discourse structures analysed unveils Cameron's strategies in shaping 'Our' political identity and ideology. The resulting social representations reveal the aspects that define the Conservatives and the British Conservative Party under modern compassionate Conservatism. The conclusions reached relate to this thesis aim, scope, and the analysis of the selected discourse structures in the compiled corpus. This study has its limitations and possible implications for further research.
