Cook Book 1800s

 

Firstly we notice the obvious long sentence structures and detailed paragraphs explaining the recipe. Now days we wouldn’t find this as much as the discourse would be the typical chronological order which moved step by step. In the 1800s you would normally find a narrative instructive recipe like this example.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

Theorists

Chomsky

·         Universal grammar

·         Facial expressions

·         Child comes into the world with an understanding of the nature of language

·         Fixed principals, things he believes we can all learn (i.e. yes, no, verbs, nouns and questions)

Vygotsky

‘Zone of proximal development’

Stages…

·         Assisted learning

·         Proximal development

·         Independent learning

Vygotsky believed that this method was the best way to get children to be able to learn independently without assistance from an adult. He also said how social interaction helps a lot.

BF skinner

·         Learn language through behaviour

·         Controlling environment

·         Reinforcement

·         Positive reinforcement, reactions from parents

·         Negative reinforcements

Piaget

Piaget created this stage of development table; children must learn certain things at ‘critical ages’…

·         Object permanence - birth to 2 years old

·         Pre-operational stage - 2 to 7 years old

·         Concrete operational stage - 7 to 11 years old

·         Formal operational stage – 11 years old onwards

I agree mostly to the theory of BF Skinner. By giving a child positive reinforcement when the child for example pronounces a word correctly or counts in the accurate order this encourages the child to continue doing the right thing aiding them learn much quicker.  Also Vygoskys theory I believe is precise. Children need to be assisted with learning at an early age in order for them to reach a point of independence. For example if you read to your child every night they would progressively pick up more and more words and consequently be able to add them to their vocabulary quicker than a child who has to learn through social interaction alone.

Language and Gender

Gender is represented throughout this extract through the use of language. Professor Chadwick immediately appears to be the dominant character in this text. We know this as the title ‘professor’ indicates that he has high qualifications meaning he is well educated. When he is speaking strong language is used like ‘he demanded’, this shows that he is more superior to the others as he is able to put them under pressure and give them commandments.  

Penny another character in the novel says ‘Where do you want me, Professor Chadwick?’ This sounds like a sexual innuendo which may have been intentional. She uses the second person pronoun ‘you’ to involve him, this almost makes Penny a possession which is stereotypical as men are normally seen to be in charge of women.

First Choice analysis

The adjective 'ginormous' is a blend of the two words gigantic and enormous which creates more comic effect and a large space for the reader to imagine. Most families look for a larger pool as they may have children to keep entertained throughout the duration of their break.

History Of Writing

Around 4100-3800 BCE, the tokens began to be symbols that could be impressed or inscribed in clay to represent a record of land, grain or cattle and a written language was beginning to develop. 

The pictures began as representing what they were, pictographs, and eventually, certain pictures represented an idea or concept, ideographs, and finally to represent sounds.

Eventually, the pictographs were stylised, rotated and in impressed in clay with a wedge shaped stylus to become the script known as Cuneiform. The pictograph for woman, became .

The Phoenician Alphabet was adopted by the early Greeks who earned their place in alphabetic history by symbolising the vowels.

Headlines Homework

A noun phrase is a headline that uses NO verb.

Here are five examples:-

Golden Girl = refers to actress attending Milan Fashion week dressed in a gold dress who looked great so stole the show

Pretty in Pink = refers to ‘Miss America’ who is pretty because she has been voted the prettiest in America and pink is pretty too

Booze battles = refers to someone with a drink problem who is battling against the drink

You Booty = refers to a footballer scoring a goal and either being regarded as a great player or maybe it was a fantastic goal

Blooming marvellous = refers to Katie Price who has recently given birth and already looks great (marvellous and blooming) but blooming is also referring to her flower patterned leggings she is wearing

It’s something that grabs your attention and they use dialogue that reveals something about the character or event. Sometimes a pattern of using the same letter emerges as in the first three examples. The other two use a different style, for example the headline ‘You Booty’ refers to a footballer who scored a goal obviously with his Boot but using Booty also tells you how others may feel towards him, i.e he’s beautiful for scoring or it was a great goal. The same applies for the last example in that she looks great in her appearance and her leggings have flowers on them.
