Oral Communication

Image
  In linguistics , a speech act is an utterance defined in terms of a speaker's intention and the effect it has on a listener. Essentially, it is the actions which the speaker hopes to provoke in their audience. Speech acts might be requests, warnings, promises, apologies, greetings, or any number of declarations. As you might imagine, speech acts are an important part of communication. Speech-Act Theory Speech-act theory is a subfield of pragmatics . This area of study is concerned with the ways in which words can be used not only to present information but also to carry out actions. It is used in linguistics, philosophy, psychology, legal and literary theories, and even the development of artificial intelligence. Speech-act theory was introduced in 1975 by Oxford philosopher J.L. Austin in "How to Do Things With Words "  and further developed by American philosopher J.R. Searle. It considers three levels or compone

  All soils initially come from rocks, this is termed the ‘parent material’. The Parent Material may be directly below the soil, or great distances away if wind, water or glaciers have transported the soil. In addition to the soil parent material, soil formation is also dependent upon other prevailing processes affecting soil formation. The soil formation process is termed 'pedogenesis'. Climatic conditions are important factors affecting both the form and rate of physical and chemical weathering of the parent material. The formation of soils can be seen as a combination of the products of weathering, of structural development of the soil, of differentiation of that structure into horizons or layers, and lastly of its movement or translocation. In fact there are many ways in which soil may be trans

The Elements and Principles of Art   Line An element of art defined by a point moving in space. Line may be two-or three-dimensional, descriptive, implied, or abstract. Shape An element of art that is two-dimensional, flat, or limited to height and width. Form An element of art that is three-dimensional and encloses volume; includes height, width AND depth (as in a cube, a sphere, a pyramid, or a cylinder). Form may also be free flowing. Value The lightness or darkness of tones or colors. White is the lightest value; black is the darkest. The value halfway between these extremes is called middle gray. Space An element of art by which positive and negative areas are defined or a sense of depth achieved in a work of art . Color An element of art made up of three properties: hue, value, and intensity.   Hue: name of color   Value : hue’s lightness and darkness (a color’s value changes when white or black is added)   Intensity : quality

4 THINGS CHRISTIAN DO NOT HAVE Opening Story: In America, one poor man always wanted in his life to go to cruise. He was a poor man, didn’t have much money and he said before, “Before I will die, I want to go to cruise. In his mid-40s, he is only worried in one thing: He bought the cruise ticket but he didn’t have enough money he thought to eat in that great dining room. So he will walk in those huge cruise feast and he will smell the food but he brought a lot of cheese and crackers with him so the first day, he ate cheese and crackers… and in the 4 th day he looked if he had any money left… The smell was so great the he was forced to ask, “How much would it cost If I ate in the banquet?” and they looked at his ticket and they said, “Didn’t you know that you signed up in this cruise and all the food was FREE?!... –he was living on cheese and crackers, while he could feast in the great banquet hall!     There are many Christians that are Rich but they don’t know i

General Math (Logarithm)

Using Logarithms in the Real World   A common "effect" is seeing something grow, like going from $100 to $150 in 5 years. How did this happen? We're not sure, but the logarithm finds a possible cause: A continuous return of ln(150/100) / 5 = 8.1% would account for that change. It might not be the actual cause (did all the growth happen in the final year?), but it's a smooth average we can compare to other changes. By the way, the notion of "cause and effect" is nuanced. Why is 1000 bigger than 100? 100 is 10 which grew by itself for 2 time periods ( 10 · 10 ) 1000 is 10 which grew by itself for 3 time periods ( 10 · 10 · 10 ) We can think of numbers as outputs (1000 is "1000 outputs") and inputs ("How many times does 10 need to grow to make those outputs?"). So, Why is this useful? Logarithms put numbers on a human-friendly scale. Large numbers break our brains. Millions and trillions are "really big" even t

Ano mga bahagi ng liham? Paano magsulat ng liham? Ang liham o sulat ay isang mensahe o pahayag na naglalaman ng balita, impormasyon, o nararamdaman ng nagpadala para inaasahang tatanggap nito na nasa ibang lugar. Maaring ito ay sulat kamay o naka- encode gamit ang computer. Mayroong limang bahagi ang isang liham. I. Pamuhatan ay ang bahagi na naglalahad ng pinagmulan o tirahan ng sumulat at ang petsya kung kalian niya ito isinulat. II. Bating panimula naman ang tawag sa pambungad na pagbati sa babasa ng iyong liham. III. K atawan ng liham ang bahagi na naglalaman ng iyong mensahe o dahilan sa iyong pagsulat sa inaasahang babasa nito. IV. Bating pangwakas ang bahagi na kung saan nagpapaalam ang sumulat. At V. Lagda ang bahagi na nnagsasaad ng pangalan ng sumulat ng liham.
