Mandarin Chinese: The Root of Linguistic Differences between Mainland China and Taiwan
[ send me this paper ]
Over the course of the last three decades, the pursuit of an understanding of Chinese linguistics, including the study of Mandarin, has been the focus of many linguists.

This 7 page paper reflects the linguistic and socio-political components of this argument. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Martin Luther King�s Rhetorical Communications Tools
[ send me this paper ]
Martin Luther King, Jr.�s speech I Have a Dream on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963 celebrating the centennial of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation remains one of his most intelligent and poetic speeches in the American mind. It succeeded at accomplishing this by a dynamically synthesized use of communication techniques while seeking to avoid division, as well as making potentially offensive judgments against a country where black men and women were still segregated. His accomplishment is in inducing the listener to not only participate in his dream, but remember it forever, long after the militant days of civil unrest were over. His knowledge of pathos, logos and other rhetorical techniques served King well. Included are ethos, logos, pathos, contrast, connection, anaphora, analogy, induction, deduction and others. 3 works cited. jvMLKcom.rtf
