In Articles^x, Dialects^x

Good day! Hi there! i just would like to know if Lingustics can be used as a tool for everyday's conversations, public speaking and many more; how does it benefit us and what are its effects to us. Thankyou. I just would like to sahre something i've read about linguistics - its history...

I started reading the first article. There's a lie from the very first lines. The authors, apparently, had NO IDEA of the real bloody history of the region. To be more precise:The 40,000 or so Ossetians who live on the southern slopes of the central Caucasus have mostly developed separately...

Cool article Barb! Yeah right, Lana, LOL! A Chinese said so! Did you ever find an American who started learning Chinese after high school and said... "Oh, yeah, it's so simple!" Pretty much impossible! Seriously, my opinion is that English is already an international language and...

Hi,if you want to learn a song, you have to listen to it several times... and try to sing along. If you don't understand the words, you can't sing, can you? Otherwise, you'll end up mishearing the lyrics, like I always do (I'm delivered --> I'm the leader, I'm tried of being what... -->...

Mr. Young, I have been reading on the sideline. You seem to be a polite and helpful guy but your apporach toward learning is too rigid in my opinion. English can be learned and improved by combining other method and resources. Books are good but that's not all there is. People can learn more if...

You should find this wiki article on British English accents and dialects usefulYep, already finished that one yesterday. I don't know how many different English accents there are. Some areas have their own accent and even some cities/towns have their own accent. I thought you only had a few....

accent: a way of speaking typical of a particular group of people and especially of the natives or residents of a region dialect: a regional variety of language distinguished by features of vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation from other regional varieties and constituting together with...
