Sometimes I wonder if dreams are real or unreal. Are dreams part of a different dimension or are they just part of our brain’s creation? I don’t know yet, but one thing I know, they come true sometimes, and other times they just live in our free heads. We all have dreams nearly every day, therefore we get used to them and tend to dismiss them and ignore them. I believe that dreams are way more than flowing dreams. In this five broad dimensions world we don’t know any more what’s real and what is false. For example, if we talk about spirits (ghosts), good and evil, then we could say they exist, but we cannot see them with our physical eyes (3D dimensions). Although, we are not able to see paranormal events, they surely exist in a different dimension we are not able to touch, spot or detect the smell of.  Open eyes, open mind, open spirit, that is all we need to truly know that there is much more in this world than we can perceive. Our physical body has both spirit and soul. It’s onl...

To explain the relationship between Neurolinguistics and Psycholinguistics we must first define what they are and what their study involve.   Neurolinguistics is a science that study how the brain reacts to language, as well as how and where our brains store our knowledge of the language that we process to understand, read, and write.    Psycholinguistics or Psychology of language is the study of the interrelation of linguistics and psychology aspects to determine the mechanism by which language is process and represented in the mind and brain for human to acquire, use and produce language.   Knowing both studies, we can say that Neurolinguistics and Psycholinguistics are two disciplines that are linked regardless of their differences, they are both concerned about how language is processed by our mind and brain, that enable humans to use, comprehend and produce a language. Another relation we can mention between these 2 disciplines, is that they have theories an...

 

Let’s start by explaining what Literary translation is…      Literary translation consists of the translation of poetry, plays, literary books, literary texts, as well as songs, rhymes, literary articles, fiction novels, novels, short stories, poems, etc.      One of the key challenges of literary translation is the need to balance staying faithful to the original work with the need to create something unique and distinctive that will evoke the same feelings and responses as the original. This can be particularly challenging when it comes to translating poetry.      By understanding that, we can say that to do a literary translation we must take in consideration not only the semantics, grammar, literary style, and fidelity but many other factors such as, a good knowledge of the source and target language, the author’s country and history. When we translate a language we also translate its culture.        A good literary tr...

Learning grammar, syntax, semantics, and vocabulary is fundamental, but learning Pragmatics as a Language learner is also very important. We want to understand and be understood when communicating with a native person or targeting a language. Therefore, a language learner should take in consideration learning the culture of the target language to avoid misinterpretations and have a smooth conversation either verbal or written. In addition to that, it is valid to say that sometimes we can’t take things literally; one word or phrase could mean many things depending on the context. That’s why Pragmatics is an essential part of the language which aims to choose language appropriately based on the situation.    Based on this importance, practicing the following techniques may help you improve of pragmatic competences: Understanding your own culture first to be able to speak with people of different cultures.  Learn the culture of the target language. Practice activities such a...
