For the Sarnus gave Pompeii the role of sea-port for the adjacent hinterland. And, in particular, it became the port of a native town that lay to the east, eleven kilometres inland, Nuceria Alfaterna (Nocera), an important road centre which drew its wealth from the river plain and dominated the southern regions of
It emerged in the late twentieth century which is why it is considered to be a ‘young’ dialect. It integrates many elements of Caribbean English as well as other ‘non-native’ influences. Although it is normally associated to Britons of African descent, the dialect is spoken by inner-city Londoners from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. Alongside Caribbean English, other ethnic influences that contribute to the dialect range from West African to Middle Eastern and to South Asia as well. David William (2010) makes the observation that MLE has come from the English that is generally spoken by black, and other non-white immigrants combined with
In the words of Robert Ellis, A verb sentence is one which contains a finite verb while a verbless sentence is one in which no finite verb appears (42). Such a sentence usually implies a state of ‘being’verbal idea. The verbless sentence can also be refer to as nominal sentence (sentence without an expressed verb). However, it should be noted that sentences may consists of clauses, which may either be independent or surbodinate, verbal or verbless. The verbless clause may be written by the simple juxtaposition of a noun and a prepositional phrase, adjective, or adverb (Ross 71).
Conner Stealy W130/Bye September 4, 2012 Cultural Influences on Those of Society Life is not about what has happened to one. Life is about what one’s are going to do next and how one has dealt with certain situations. Many people are great examples of rising up from the bottom and working their way to the pinnacle. Malcolm X is one of these people. In Gary Colombo’s “Thinking Critically, Challenging Cultural Myths” Colombo stated that “college may be the first time you’ve lived away from home” (1) Imagine prison being the first time one had lived away from home.
While many believe there was only one creation account, evidence suggests that the historical context of the two is quite different. For example, the date of writing of Genesis 1 is believed to have been second to Genesis 2, around 500BC after the Babylonian Exile, however Genesis 2 has been said to have been written first, in approximately 1000BC during the time of King David. The audience of both accounts also differs, with the first account being produced for Jewish people newly out of slavery and to be distributed throughout Judea and Babylon as they were surrounded by non-Jewish people with different ideas, in contrast to the second account which targeted the Jewish people at the height of their powers who were living and settled in the heterogeneous Promised land. Arguably the biggest comparison is the origin of the stories, with two fundamental views, the JEDP theory and the more historically accepted view, that of Moses being the only writer. The JEDP theory states that the first exposition was recorded by the Priestly

As Jones, Rock, Shaver, Goethals, & Ward’s (1968) results showed, when marking another person’s exam paper primacy effects can occur. Several other studies have also showed differing levels of primacy and recencey effects (Costabile & Klein, 2005; Smith, Greenlees, & Manley, 2009). Research also tells us that those that are highly motivated to think, will be less susceptible to the bias of order effects (Ybarra, Schaberg, & Keiper, 1999). This present research seeks to investigate whether primacy effects will occur using an end of sequence method. Also, whether primacy effects would be reduced, or non-existent in people that are highly motivated to think, compared to those that are not.
