Re: Plural for Curriculum Vitae

Anonymous — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 09:58:36 GMT

curriculum vitae is also used in non-American settings for "resume". Meaning "course of life" the nouns are nominitive and genitive. If you put curriculum in plural, the modifying noun must also go into plural. Since it's already in the genitive, it should be put into genitive plural. Don't let the English form confuse you. Therefore the correct version would be curricula vitarum.

I am not infatuated with the software that runs this site. Often I cannot post a message. I wrote a lengthy response to this, and then suddently everything disappeared. I think that this second writup will be shorter.

If we substitute a completely different set of phonemes throughout, so that for example âcopolotekoâ becomes âdasazaviwuâ, the morphology and syntax have not been changed.

I do not consider this a realistic example. I have never heard of such a situation, or of such a partial situation, or of the possibility of such a situation. I will not quibble with you over the ramificiations of something that could never occur, as though you could somehow know that your conclusion is reasonable.

Now of course changes in the phonology of a language go hand in hand with changes in its morphology: a classic case is where case endings for nouns are weakened and eventually dropped. But what you seem to be saying, and please correct me if I am wrong, is that you can predict the morphology and syntax of a language from its phonology. In particular, you seem to be suggesting that if a language has a small inventory of phonemes and a simple phonology (that is all syllables must be of the form V or CV or CVC where the final C is restricted to, say, /m/ /n/ and /Å/) the language must be analytic, isolating, monosyllabic and have significant tonality.

You are correct in that I consider there to be patterns of grammatical behavior. However, your selection is not a primary consideration. In other words, I do not consider the phonology to be such an important determinant that it alone is sufficient to predict all else that you list.

If we take Spanish, it is a language with a comparatively simple phonology. It has only five vowels and the total number of phonemes is about the same as in Mandarin Chinese. The range of consonant clusters is restricted to initial C1C2 where C2 has to be /l/ or /r/. Syllables may only end in a vowel or /Ã°/, /l/, /n/, /r/, /s/ and /Î¸/ and even then the /Ã°/, /r/, and /s/ are weak and even disappear in some speakers/varieties with /Î¸/ becoming /s/. Whilst Spanish is less synthetic than Latin, from which it derives, it is not isolating, certainly not monosyllabic and does not have significant tonality, at least not at the lexical level, though the difference between statements and questions is often marked only by intonation. Thus we have Spanish and Chinese with broadly similar phonologies (except of course that the phoneme inventories are different) but which are otherwise completely different from each other.

There is a significant point that you are overlooking. Chinese words are monosyllabic. You may insert the term disyllabic if it makes you feel more comfortable. Spanish words can contain a large number of syllables. Therefore, Spanish has far more distinct words than Chinese. Do you disagree? I consider this to be extremely important. As well, Spanish has far more final consonants and has consonant clusters, which Chinese lacks. Therefore, even with a phoneme set of the same size, Spanish has a much larger potential set of distinct words.

Unless I have completely misunderstood what you are saying, what seems to be the sum of your argument is that simple phonology equals simple language equals simple mind, which is a contention I cannot possibly accept.

Please reread all that I have said to find a citation wherein I have claimed that speakers of Chinese have simple minds. Furthermore, I have no real idea as to what the word simple means to you. I am not sure if I should respond to this, for fear that you would come to such an errant conclusion, that somehow I equate linguistic syntax with mental competance. Do you? I am quite surprised that you consider this to be an accurate summation of my entire argument, which has been entirely linguistic in nature.

Imagine a language in which:

âThe man hit the table with a stickâ is

âCopoloteko tipadela tisadure asutariki bu.â

In this sentence

co = a classifier indicating that we are talking about something animate

polo = man

te = a nominative case marker

ko = the speaker wishes to emphasise the word âmanâ

ti = a classifier indicating that we are talking about something inanimate

pade = table

la = accusative marker

ti = as above

sadu = stick

re = an instrumental case marker

a = a prefix indicating that the event took place in the recent past

suta = hit

ri = a suffix indicating that the subject of the sentence is animate

ki = a suffix indicating that the object of the sentence is inanimate

bu = a particle showing respect to the person addressed

If we substitute a completely different set of phonemes throughout, so that for example âcopolotekoâ becomes âdasazaviwuâ, the morphology and syntax have not been changed. We can go a step further and make all the syllables closed so that we have âdansaszarvitwunâ, or again go further still and introduce some consonant clusters to produce âdranspaszarvlistwunâ. In each case the phonology of the language is different, but the morphology and syntax are identical.

Re: Can someone help me to write my motivation letter? (A Spanish in trouble..)

Nef — Fri, 06 Jan 2006 07:14:06 GMT

Hello,

Here are a few ideas. I am being fairly picky (critical) because you asked for comments. I understood most of your letter very well. Good luck with your application!

---------------------

Dear Sirs, (If you are sure that only men will read your letter, this is fine. If it is possible that either men or women will read your letter, I think it is better to say Dear Sir/Ma'am, Dear Sir or Madam, or To Whom it May Concern. If you can find out the name or job title of the person who will read your letter, you might use that as a form of address.)

As you know I'm recently graduated in Chemical Engineering. (I'm wondering if you are sure the reader will know this.) Also, you might want to say "I'm a recent graduate in Chemical Engineering." or "I'm a recent graduate who majored in Chemical Engineering."

At this point, I find very important the election of the first significative job, because it can determine the future development of my professional career.

At this point, I find the choice of my first significant job very important, because it can determine the future development of my professional career. (I'm changing the placement of the "very important" and using "significant" rater than "significative," which is not a common word.)

It's very easy to explain why I want to work in a brewery: in one hand, it fit fits my technical expectatives. expectations.

(1. I am not sure what "in one hand" means here.

2. "It fits" is because "it" is third person singular. (I fit, you fit, he/she/it fits...

3. "Expectations" is a common word; "expectatives" may not be a word at all.)

As an (you need "an" here) engineer, the beer industry is a very complete sector where I can learn and share with you my recent knowledge, acquired in all those years, in the last latest technologies of water and solids treatment, fermentation processes, refrigeration systems, gas recuperation... or, related with the management aspects, such as production and distribution control, supply chain, environmental and health implications, as well as the economics of the operation, etc..

I am not sure if "recuperation" is the right word here. "Recuperation" usually refers to recovery from an illness (regaining good health after a disease). Would "recovery," a more general term which might refer to regaining or gathering something, work better?

Also, this is a very long sentence. I'd start a new sentence to discuss the management aspects. For instance, something like: "A job in this industry also would provide me with an excellent opportunity to apply and increase my knowledge of management aspects such as...")

On the other, (OK, now I see what the first hand was for! But your hands are so far apart here, are separated by so many words, that the connection between the two hands gets dropped. I'd suggest not mentioning the first hand at all. If you want to, for the second hand, try saying:

On the other hand, it's pretty hard to explain my personal desire in working in a "life" industry like this. As an enthusiastic enthusiast ("enthusiast" is a noun, "enthusiastic" is an adjective; you could say as an enthusiastic ______, )

If you wanted a shorter sentence, you could say "As a beer and wine enthusiast (in the good sense), I've participated..."

of the culture of the (you don't need, and shouldn't have, this "the") beer and wine (in the good sense...), Iâve participated in the recollection (I'm not sure of the meaning here. Is it possible that you are talking about a harvest?) campaign of the last seasons in one of the most important wine shires (This is the right word for English English; if you want American English, say "counties" instead of "shires") of my country and I would like to work in the production area or any similar like engineer. or in a related area as an engineer.

Furthermore, I have always had a strong desire to work in an international environment. Youâre one of the most important beer productor all over the world and I find this as an unique opportunity. Your company is one of the most important beer producers in the world, and I think this is a unique opportunity.

I would describe myself as an active, mature, curious, hands-on and flexible person. Iâm willing to work on new
projects with new colleagues and to increase and share my knowledgement knowledge. Iâm an enduring a loyal team player but Iâm willing to accept responsibility.

I would be pleased if my application wakes your interest. I enclose my CV for your consideration. Please do not
hesitate to contact me if you require any further details.

Yours faithfully,

Re: Please check the following sentence and correct if anything is wrong.

suzi — Mon, 01 Mar 2004 08:11:59 GMT

1.Currently working in art creation.
(assuming this is for a cv or job application - it is note form and would need a verb in most cases, e.g. "I am ..."

2.Also doing new changes/enhancements which had/was already done.
There are too many words here, and they dont fit together very well. I cannot guess what is it you want to do - so you need to tell us more about what you want this sentecne to achieve.

3.Sent the documents for further clarification.
Again this could be note form, and you just need to add a pronoun:
I sent...
or she sent...

or it could be an instruction, in which case you need to change the verb ending,
"SenD the documents"

4.I am done with the requirements which you have been send/sent.
I have finished with the requirements which you have been sent.
("Am done" might be OK if you are writing to Americans, we dont use it in Britain)

5.Please meet to discuss today's work and also the coming months programme/schedule.
I've added an apostrophe and changed spelling of coming - the words at the end are quite synonymous, so you can choose!
