Kennedy then goes on to say that visual literacy is the ability to construct meaning from images. He also tells us that it is not a skill but a form of critical thinking that enhances your intellectual concept. He also tells that The International Visual Literacy Association adopted Debes's (1969) definition of visual literacy. Our text book tell us the same thing but goes farther to state what the IVLA definition is which states [that it is a group of vision-related competencies a human being can develop by seeing, and at the same time, having and integrating other sensory experiences. [These competencies] enable a visually literate person to discriminate and interpret the visible actions, objects, and symbols that he [or she] encounters .

Kahneman (as cited in Edgar, 2007) explains it in the limited capacity theory of attention. According to it, “the brain contains limited-capacity central processor responsible for analyzing incoming information and integrating it to information already held in memory” (Edgar, 2007, pp.11). Thus, when a person tries to do many things at once interference can occur if those things compete for the same pool of resources. However, Macleod (as cited in Edgar, 2007) showed that it is possible to do two things at once without interference. In his study, participants had to carry out a visual and an auditory task and respond to them by saying ‘bip’.
Attention Getter:No matter how or why people get into the art of inlay, when they start they probably don`t think about continuing a tradition that was established half a million years ago. B. Relevance: Wikipedia explains inlay as a decorative technique of inserting pieces of contrasting, often colored materials into depressions in a base object to form patterns or pictures that normally are flush with the matrix. C. Credibility: Almost since civilization began, people have been engraving ( in other words- incising a design on to a hard, usually flat surface, by cutting grooves into it). And you may be surprised to find that you have more in common with our engraving ancestors than you thought. The early people who scraped primitive drawings onto cave walls used some of the same tools and techniques that artisans still use today.
Almost ten years ago a man by the name of David Wertheimer wrote an article in which he claimed that proper grammar was becoming obsolete. The author states that: “We can design and build text a better way that works across numerous communication platforms, solving the problems of built-in obsolescence and user lockout while paving the way toward a far more useful, more accessible, and more speedily shared grammar.” and that “After a long struggle, we can finally employ techniques that guarantee the interpretation of our new grammar.” Wertheimer (2002). From the invention of the
Mustakoski 1 Kai Mustakoski Philip Clover Culture and Representation 22 Oct. 2010 Discursive Analysis, Discourse and Signification: an Analysis of a Piece of Visual Culture “Proceeding to a conclusion through reason rather than intuition.” is the definition for the word Discursive; The word originated from Latin and subsequently from the word in Middle English, discours, meaning process of reasoning ( Dictionary ). In this paper I am going to explain the concept of discourse and signification in the context of the book: Representation: Cultural Representations and Signifying Practices. I am going to do this by analysing a picture of my own choosing: The picture (see appendix) is an add for the TV channel Russia Today. First I am going to dissect the picture on the level of denotation and then moving on to the signification, discourse and Discursive analysis. The picture under scrutiny was among of five Russia Today's adds displayed in United Kingdom and in the US; these adds were initially banned in the United States and were later on displayed only in censored versions in the US airports on December 2009 and January 2010 (Russia Today).
Howard Gardner viewed intelligence as 'the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural setting' (Gardner & Hatch, 1989). Gardner initially formulated a list of seven intelligences and claimed that they rarely operate independently. They are used at the same time and tend to complement each other as people develop skills or solve problems.” The seven intelligences are as follows: Logical-mathematical intelligence entails the ability to detect patterns, reason deductively and think logically. This intelligence is most often associated with scientific and mathematical thinking. Linguistic intelligence involves having a mastery of language.
They are: • Imagery • Simile • Metaphor • Alliteration • Personification • Onomatopoeia • Hyperbole A metaphor is simply an implied comparison between two things (Kirby & Goodpaster, 2007). Metaphors carry a dual meaning and it also merges two things. Those two original meanings of the word metaphor are things are with or after and beyond, and to carry. Metaphors can also be defined as A metaphor is a word or phrase used to compare two unlike objects, ideas, thoughts or feelings to provide a clearer description ("metaphor," 1996-2012). A simile is an explicit comparison as analogies or extended comparisons.
The purpose of this paper is to explore the following question: Is there a difference between spoken and written English? The paper illustrates some of the most characteristic features of spoken and written language. For the past few decades, there has been a considerable body of research in various fields, such as linguistics, dealing with the relationship between spoken and written English. The history of writing in the English-speaking world reveals a balancing act between competing recording functions of the written word. While written English has always had a role in creating durable records that were never intended to be read aloud, the 'oral' side of writing has been far more important than we tend to realize.
Liberman reported that when people listen to sounds that vary along the voicing continuum, they hear only /ba/s and /pa/s, nothing in between. This effect, in which a perceived quality jumps abruptly from one category to another at a certain point along a continuum, instead of changing gradually —he dubbed "categorical perception" (CP). He suggested that CP was unique to speech, and made speech special. This suggests that humans identify speech using categorical perception,
