Літота як засіб відтворення індивідуально-авторського стилю (на матеріалі поезії А.А. Фета)
Authors: Шкіль Катерина Петрівна 
Published: May 2023

Стаття присвячена розгляду та зіставленню різних визначень літоти як стилістичного засобу та визначення мейозису з метою виявлення принципової відмінності таких схожих між собою на перший погляд стилістичних засобів. Вивчення функціонування образних засобів мови пов’язане з поняттями комунікативної обумовленості та комунікативного наміру. Вивчення комунікативної зумовленості появи та функціонування образних засобів мови сприяє глибшому розумінню особливостей міжкультурної комунікації. У статті наведено визначення поняття «літота». Завданням дослідження є розгляд літоти як засобу відображення індивідуально-авторського стилю А. Фета. Проблематичність аналізу літоти викликана складністю та багатоаспектністю самого поняття. Літота являє собою образний вираз, стилістичну фігуру, зворот, у якому міститься художнє применшення величини, сили значення зображуваного предмета або явища. На першому етапі дослідження було проведено огляд наукової літератури з цієї теми з виокремленням основних наукових концепцій сучасних дослідників. На другому етапі проаналізовано та розкрито особливості та типові характеристики літот у поетичних текстах А. Фета. Літоту також розглянуто як троп, який має значення применшення або навмисного пом’якшення. У статті наведені різноманітні точки зору на сутність літоти як стилістичної фігури, визначено вирішальні фактори у формуванні літоти, виявлено особливості вживання літоти як специфічного засобу поетичної мови, описано функції літоти як образного означення, проаналізовано та типологізовано конструкції з використанням літот, що формують індивідуально-авторський стиль А. Фета. Автором статті запропоновано класифікацію літот за манерою їх вираження.
"La vulnerabilidad de una piel ofrecida". El sentido de la "justicia" en la obra de Emmanuel Levinas
Authors: Palma Ramírez Manuel 
Published: May 2023

El pensamiento de E. Levinas, inserto en la corriente de la filosofía dialógica, ha dado un lugar prioritario a la cuestión antropológica del “otro”. Cabría preguntarse cuál es, sin embargo, el papel de la realidad social en el marco de su reflexión. La sociedad aparece en la obra de Levinas como un “tercero” al que se le asignan unas características propias, entre las que la aspiración a la justicia se erige un referente fundamental. El concepto mismo de justicia, en el que se entrecruzan, a juicio del autor, raíces bíblicas y elementos del pensamiento filosófico occidental, adquiere una triple componente: social, política y económica, que no pierde de vista el principio vertebrador del otro, quien se ofrece vitalmente, de un modo vulnerable, demandando, de este modo, una acogida responsable.
Liturgia es, sobre todo, celebrar. Nota sobre el arte de celebrar y de participar
Authors: Álvarez González Luis Fernando 
Published: May 2023

Recientemente se han ido introduciendo progresivamente en el discurso litúrgico dos cuestiones que se relacionan estrechamente con la noción teológica de la Liturgia y con la Pastoral litúrgica en acto: la cuestión del arte de celebrar y la del arte de participar. En esta nota recojo algunas consideraciones sobre ambas cuestiones partiendo de la noción de celebración que privilegia la Constitución de Liturgia.
El Primer Arte Cristiano. El Sarcófago de Junio Basso
Authors: Leal Lobón Manuel 
Published: May 2023

La expresión “arte cristiano” encierra en sí una contrariedad si se considera que Jesús de Nazaret no apuntó nada sobre la creación artística. Tampoco podemos rastrear en el anuncio de la Buena Noticia ningún hilo que nos conduzca hacia un culto que necesitara la contribución de las “artes plásticas”. Cristo predijo un culto al Padre “en espíritu y en verdad” (Jn 4,23). Los primeros cristianos fueron fieles a este espiritualismo trascendente judaico, pero al mismo tiempo, la fe en la Encarnación del Verbo dio al testimonio de los sentidos un valor fundamental: “el que me ha visto a mí, ha visto al Padre” (Jn 14,9). Nace un conflicto entre la sensibilidad artística y la nueva fe que gira en torno a la necesidad de legitimar el valor estético sin que el espíritu sea traicionado. Plasmar en la figuración una auténtica y sincera confesión de fe.

GRAMMATICAL COMPETENCE LEVEL AND GRAMMAR LEARNING STRATEGY OF PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS
Authors: Roca Rocel Mae C. , Manla Edralin C. 
Published: May 2023

This study attempted to determine the grammar learning strategy and grammatical competence level of the 2nd year and 3rd year pre-service teachers. Additionally, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between their grammar learning strategy usage and grammatical competence level. To this end, the study employed the descriptive-correlational research method. Data were collected through a questionnaire facilitated in Google Forms. The study's results revealed that, first, the pre-service teachers have highly used the Grammar Learning Strategies in general and when categorized as Cognitive, Meta-cognitive, and Socio-affective; although all GLS categories were highly used, the one with the highest mean was the Cognitive GLS while the least was the Socio-affective GLS. Second, respondents were found to have a fair level of grammatical competence in general as well as when specified to Subject-Verb Agreement, Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement, Parts of Speech, and Adjective-Adverb Agreement. Lastly, it was found in this present study that there is a highly significant relationship between grammar learning strategy usage and grammatical competence level but it is a weak positive correlation at 0.20. This outcome is conducive to better understand the pre-service teachers' GLS usage, to maximize the other GLS which were not highly used, and to supply some references for enhancing one’s grammatical competence level.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0017/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
MEANING EXTRACTION OF SYNONYMS AMONG ADVANCED ARAB-ENGLISH TRANSLATORS: A PILOT STUDY
Authors: Abushaaban Hussein , Alhasan Rashad Faleh , Al-Harbi Hamzeh Mohammad 
Published: May 2023

This pilot study examined the semantic extraction process of L2 English synonyms during the dictionary consultations and the associated challenges involved in the process among four Arabic-English translators, and whether such a process is influenced by the mother tongue. Participants were provided with dictionary definition excerpts of synonym pairs, one pair at a time, to examine and write down any differences in meaning, to report on any meaning extraction challenges, and to provide translation equivalents. The results indicated that participants did not demonstrate any distinctions between the target synonyms which suggests that dictionary definitions did not provide enough disambiguation criteria for synonyms and that is exactly what was expressed in the interview data. Finally, cross-linguistic effects were not found in the data. However, participants produced more accurate responses than the semantic English task which suggests that translators link L2 synonyms to their Arabic translations rather than their L2 definitions.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0008/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
COGNITIVE COMMUNICATION COMPETENCE AS A FUNCTION OF ADAPTABILITY AND APPREHENSION IN COMMUNICATION AMONG SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Authors: Canada Joanna Reeve M. , Miralles Tessie G. 
Published: May 2023

This study determined to find out which domain of communicative adaptability and communication apprehension significantly predicts cognitive communication competence. A quantitative descriptive-predictive design was employed in this study. The research participants were 250 Grade 11 Senior High School students enrolled in English 1s – Oral Communication in Context at UM Digos Senior High School. The gathered data were analyzed and interpreted using the mean, standard deviation, Pearson-r, regression, and multiple linear regression. It was found that the SHS students have a high level of communicative adaptability, moderate communication apprehension, and a high level of cognitive communication competence. The study’s findings revealed a significant relationship between communicative adaptability and cognitive communication competence. In contrast, communication apprehension was adversely related to cognitive communication competence. Through multiple linear regression, the findings corroborated the three domains of communicative adaptability and communication apprehension: social confirmation, appropriate, and apprehension in small groups, significantly predict cognitive communication competence. The findings obtained in this study suggest that English language teachers may employ strategies and activities, with various contexts among various individuals, as performance tasks. It will help students adapt to various communication contexts, lessen communication apprehension, and improve communication competence.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0005/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
ANGLICIZATION OF INDIGENOUS NAMES ON SOCIAL MEDIA BY YORUBA-ENGLISH BILINGUALS: PEDAGOGIC IMPLICATIONS
Authors: Ogunbona Morounmubo Deborah , Jimoh Rafiu 
Published: May 2023

Anglicism and Nativization can be said to be closely knit as both linguistic phenomena are attempts to portray one language in the form of another. Whereas, Anglicism is the attempt to make an indigenous language sound English, Nativization is trying to make English sound indigenous. This study investigates Anglicization of names on social media, a practice among some Yoruba-English bilinguals (YEBs), with a view to finding out its linguistic features, sociolinguistic imports, the motivation behind such practice and its implications for pedagogy and language teaching. Data for the study, which were sourced from the WhatsApp group of SSIII students, Demonstration Secondary School, Ondo, Nigeria, contain one hundred indigenous profile names of the students as anglicized on the group’s platform. Using Dell Hymes’ Ethnography of Communication, William Labov’s Variability Concept as well as Descriptive Method of Data Analysis, the data were purposively selected, carefully grouped and applied for the analysis. The investigation reveals that the theory of word-formation processes in English was adopted by YEBs to anglicize their indigenous names at both phonological and morphological levels, with apparent disregard for both semantic components and sociolinguistic functions of their indigenous names before Anglicization, thereby leaving the product (anglicized) to appear as mere cant or jargon of the bilingual youths. The paper submits that the motivation for Anglicism might not be mainly attributable to linguistic dexterity or innate morphological competence on the part of YEBs, but largely to exuberance and idiosyncrasies emanating from identifying with the global practice of specialized youth communication on social media, a phenomenon that should be noted by the EL2 teacher while teaching this set of youths.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0001/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
WHEN TEACHERS SPEAK: SENIORS SCHOOL TEACHERS PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS IN ILORIN, NIGERIA
Authors: Folashade Aliu Juwerat 
Published: May 2023

Teacher professional development is a life-long process that should last until the teacher's tenure or retirement; consequently, teacher professional development should be viewed as a continuous process. If teachers do not keep up with global developments, particularly those brought about by technology, they will be out of place in this era. Three research questions were formed to guide the conduct of this study, purposive sampling techniques were used to select five participants, and themes that emerged were perception (life-long process, teachers’ needs and a way of getting new ideas), the second research question reveals the different types of professional development that the teachers attended while the last theme reveals the challenges the teacher encountered such as lack of funding, availability of the program, time constraint, transportation issue and incompetent personnel. The study concluded that the issue of professional development cannot be over-emphasized, and the following recommendation was made; teacher professional development should be made available to all teachers and not just some few privileged ones; there should be proper monitoring during the selection process so that those that are non-teachers are not selected; government should also ensure that teachers are motivated (financially) when they are going for continuing education.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0029/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
WORKING MOTHERS’ SOCIAL-ECONOMIC FACTORS AND PERCEPTIONS OF CHILDCARE SERVICE QUALITY IN DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA
Authors: Asheri Mary , Mabagala Daphina L. 
Published: May 2023

This study aimed to examine how social-economic factors influence working mothers’ perception of the quality of childcare service quality in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The study employed a cross-sectional research design to collect data from 411 working mothers with children aged 2-5 years in childcare centres. Three hypotheses were tested based on research objectives, the proposed relationships showed significance at p&lt;0.05. Results show that working mothers’ social economic factors (income and educational levels) influenced their perception of childcare service quality. Results also indicated that working mothers with children aged 5 years were more satisfied with the service quality provided to their children than working mothers with children of 3-4 years. These findings suggest that income, educational levels, and a child’s age are important factors that influence parents’ perceptions of childcare service quality. The study highlights the need for tailored childcare services that cater to the needs of different age groups and the importance of increasing access to high-quality childcare services for families of all income and education levels.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0002/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The core of this study is the voting behavior of college students in the 2022 elections. It made use of the causal-comparative and correlational research designs to compare the voting behaviors of the respondents in terms of age and sex, and to determine the strength and direction of the relationship between the variable characteristics of the political candidates and the variable political process with respect to their influence on voting behavior. It included as respondents 41 purposively chosen Social Studies students of Notre Dame of Midsayap College. They were 18 to 23 years old, mostly females, and were all registered voters. Data were gathered through an online survey. Findings revealed that having a degree was considered by the respondents as a very important personal characteristic for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates, while being a member of a well-known family was considered by them as unimportant. Being honest and trustworthy was also considered by the respondents as a very important leadership characteristic for the said candidates. Meanwhile, being clear in their priorities is a political process that is very much likely to influence the respondents in choosing their president and vice-president while the giving of money or goods to voters is unlikely to influence them. Similarly, candidates being talked about in their locality is a political process that is likely to influence the respondents in choosing those candidates. The endorsement of candidates by a local leader is a political process that is likely to influence them in choosing those candidates, while endorsement by a church is very unlikely to influence them. Results bared that there is no significant difference on the voting behavior of the respondents with respect to their age and sex. Finally, there is a moderately strong positive relationship between the characteristics of the political candidates and the political process as to their influence on the voting behavior of the respondents, and such a relationship is highly significant.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0005/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
