I wonder, with these built-in weightbelts, is it still possible to ditch the
belt in case of an emergence ascent ?
Would this require to ditch the BC as well ? ($$ B-(

Graham Low wrote an interesting article on teaching metaphor to L2
students in Applied Linguistics, vol. 9, 1988 entitled "On Teaching
Metaphor".  I am currently completing a dissertation which examines
Japanese and Spanish adult ESL students' comprehension of conventional
classroom metaphors.  I used Lakoff & Johnson's (1980) theory of
conceptual metaphors to determine what conventional metaphors are used
in academic settings.  I then used these "metaphors we teach by" in a
lecture comprehension test that I developed.  After viewing a taped
university lecture, students' comprehension of the metaphors was
assessed by having them choose the best paraphrase for a given
statement from the lecture.  I found that even advanced students tend to
interpret metaphors literally.  If you would like more information on my
classroom research,
you can contact me (Deborah Mixon) at the following e-mail address:

X-To:         Second Language Acquisition Network <slart-l@psuvm.psu.edu>

Regarding Bill Crossgrove's query about, say, the effects of writing a lot
on errors, Peter Shaw (at the Monterey Institute of International
Studies, 425 Van Buren St., Monterey, CA 93940; fax 408-647-4199)
did his M.A. on the topic, a replication of a 1966 study by Eugene Briere.
Shaw's study was called, Fluency and the ESL writing skill.  1982 MA at USC's
Dept. of Linguistics.  His study was with intermediate EFL students in Mexico,
and he compared rapid writing in class with untimed classroom writing--
assessment for number of words and grammaticality.  Those in the rapid
writing treatment came out better after a semester than those in the untimed
condition.  His conclusion was that those who have to write rapidly not only
become quicker at writing but more confident in their ability to write fluently
and accurately.  What I like about the study is the notion that careful,
monitored writing may not be the way to go.

                      INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON

                    TRANSLATION THEORY AND PRACTICE

                         18-20 September 1993


It is proposed to hold a small, 70 participant, conference on translation
in the University of Birmingham, over the weekend of September 18-20, 1993.
All sessions will take place in Lucas House, the University's specialist
Conference Centre, where all participants will also be accommodated.
Contributions are invited on all aspects of translation theory and practice,
although in order to allow maximum accessibility all participants are asked
to present in English and to restrict their examples to English and the
Romance languages.

The conference will be organised in terms of plenary lectures, special
interest sections and workshops; there will be 20 and 40 minute slots for
papers, while workshops will last for 90 minutes.

Intending participants are asked to indicate their interest as soon as
possible because we expect strong pressure on places.  Intending
contributors are asked to submit an abstract by April 30th 1993.  All
abstracts will be refereed, and a selection of the papers will subsequently
be edited by the organising committee and published by the Edwin Mellen
Press.

A flourish of fan-fare-waving arms for vixen stand-at-attention:  "I

previously well-hypothecticized by DanBoyd, the uniform not tattered
nor pleated nor furled, a blazon demi-vierge even then for passant

watchful eye (whadda self).  Jan Hus, delightully cute accent like
an upside-down circumflex [sic] upon the postpenultimate letter, swung
from the rafters twice, once in daring-do indearing to whomever but
not the vestiges of a spanned (in)continent; next, in a cage, sans
yeux glauques, a lattice testament well-meant and well-understood.
Prague, you've heard of.  These stained and stretched outreminitions

close to.  Dan Foss knows or would at the very least in his attempts
here and elsewhere have us know or prepare unknowing whence the apocs.

I would not have deemed the Enemy sweetest-before-it-strikes terribly
much of a gaffe in any of its fetching summer guises, but you're very
welcome to bring out yr fighting engine to swarm the blockades, as I
doubt you've depleted yr armour-room of provocative scathes yet.
Conserving what's left of however many lives you've accorded me, I'll
batten the deft cottage hatches: I hereby Promise on my honour as a
kept woman Not to get upset and to pretend Not to care, and all for
a change shall be conspicuously civilized.  THOUGH, duels, m'dear,
are Just Too Crashingly Romantic; shall we have a crab-race instead,
presuming you haven't returned little Percival to the seaside yet,
and if he's looking peaky, it means you've gone and added pepper
instead of salt to the water-jar, after all I told you.  And Into
The Farrier's Arms.  Or Mine.  Darling.

Trusting you've slept off yr tiredness, perhaps I wish for such
parlous things as answers to the questions I have no intention of
asking -- unserviceable, I know, but it cannot be helped, so it may
be more circumspect to impugn in tennis-court oaths of allegiance:
devotions glad or morose in any language you choose (and, as I haven't
yet noted, it's either irish or gaeilge, %not% gaelic: mind you don't
mistake yrself for the american which, of course, you are) in flaunted
displays of hero-worship on tap.  Companionship aplenty you've
bestowed, y'know, far from unwanted; you've made yourself the
touchstone against which it pleases me, mentally damaged as you've
made me in the need for sbrhym-l as gateway, to find all other persons
lacking, and I cannot ask for what I have already got.  Striking out
each and every thing you've given me and glossing over the remains of
pocketage as I wonder whether or not you'd tell me if I'd lapsed a
little closest, what I want is whatever you think I want ...or, better
still, whatever you want me to want.

How's that for tactical maneuvering?

Or maybe all I really want is that you should know what I want, and
that, m'love, was an ace.

Incidentally, I don't keep promises.

You're terribly mistaken about the "better times & better things to

"better time" slot, and as for the "better things", well, they just
don't get done, as, having been so regrettably impolite as to accuse

plaints, even if I wanted to, which, no mistake and no nasty comments

has been the world itself.  Given this, we form a unique and distinct cultural
group with specific characteristics and common experiences.

International Airport and Washington, DC in a beautiful wooded setting near
historic Leesburg, Virginia.  Ground Transportation from Dulles Airport is
available.

Dates: Friday, September 18 at 5 pm through Sunday, September 20
at 2 pm.

You're very welcome, and good night to you too, but before you
go, I have to gently tell you, Dana, that it just won't do.
A good posting is, by definition, one which cheating(@wherever)
does not quite understand, but which he thinks he might if only
he put a little thought into it.  The longer and harder this
process of thinking turns out to be, the better your posting is.
However, you must always ensure that your message, in all of its
constituent elements & as a whole, has a precise and fathomable
meaning, or, better still, several, which you can defend in the
unlikely event of your being challenged.  If these various
interpretations contradict one another, so much the better.

Try harder next time.
