AIDS is becoming one of the most important problems of the modern world. According to “AIDS Epidemic Update 2000” and the World Health Organization (WHO), the current number of people living with HIV or AIDS is 36.1 million, more than 50% higher than predicted in 1991. And this number is increasing every day, hour and minute. The greatest number of inhabitants sick with AIDS or HIV live in Africa. Over17 million Africans have already died of AIDS-three times the number of AIDS deaths in the rest of the world, orphaning 10 million or more African children. “The AIDS situation in Africa is catastrophic and sub-Saharan Africa continues to head the list as the world’s most affected region,” said Peter Piot, Executive Director of UNAIDS. According to his report, estimated 3.8 million people became infected with HIV in sub –Saharan Africa during the year, bringing the total number of people living with HIV/AIDS in the region to 25.3 million, or almost a million more than in 1999.

Language families

A language family is a group of languages that have a common origin. Linguists establish comparatively their sound systems, vocabulary, and grammar. Among the most important language families are the Indo-European, Finno-Ugric, Indo-Chinese, Malayo-Polinesian and Semitic.

Various branches exist within language families. For example, in the Indo-European family Germanic and Italic are subfamilies, and the Romance languages are the subgroup of the Italic.

Proto-Germanic gave rise to Dutch, English, German, and the Scandinavian tongues. Proto-Romance gave rise to French, Italian, Spanish and other tongues. French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish and English are Indo-European languages, but French and Italian are more closely related than Italian and German or English and Russian.

Linguists can trace the relationship of languages by comparing words in one language with words having the same meaning in another language. For instance, if we compare words in English and German, we find "hand and Hand", "lips and Lips", "lungs and Lungen". In addition there are some similarities in grammatical structures.

The relationships of this kind are characteristic of languages that belong to the same language family. Such relationships do not exist across language family lines. Thus it may be established that Greek, the Slavic languages (such as Russian), the Celtic languages (such as Irish) and even some of the languages of India (such as Sanskrit) are members of the Indo-European family but it has been proved that Finnish and Hungarian are not members of this language family.

The problems with my parents started when I was sixteen. I wanted to get a Saturday job but my parents ordered me to stay at home and study for my exams. Whenever I pointed out that all my friends had Saturday jobs, they replied, “We don’t care what they do, it’s you we are worried about,” and yet whenever my school marks were bad, I was always compared to everyone else. Their double standards infuriated me so much that I did whatever I could to provoke them. I purposely dyed my hair white blond and plastered my face in make-up before I went to school. However all I managed to achieve was mass arguments before I went anywhere.

It was rule in the house that I was only allowed out once during the week and on Saturday till 10 p. m. Every time I attempted to go out in the evening, my parents asked me who I was going out with and where we were going. They even insisted on my giving them my friend’s telephone number in case they needed to contact me. I always argued about the last bit; I felt that if I gave them the number they’d use it to check up on me. It never for one moment crossed my mind that they were just worried about me.

Once I asked if I could go to a party on Saturday night. The party finished at 11.30 p. m. They agreed, but on the condition that my Dad came to pick me up at 10 p. m. I argued and argued about it but in the end I had to agree. I knew I was going to be really embarrassed when my father came to pick me up, so I spent the whole party worrying. I didn’t speak to my parents for three days after that. My mother tried to explain how they both felt but I didn’t want to listen. It was then that I decided to break all the rules they had set down. So instead of coming home at 10 p. m., I would arrive back at 11.30 p. m. and then refuse to tell them where I had been. I somehow felt that if I broke their rules, they would realize I was old enough to look after myself and leave me alone. However, the argument got worse and worse and the more they tried to keep me in the house, the more I sneaked out. Finally one Saturday night I didn’t come home till 2 a. m. My father wanted to know why I was so late. I refused to tell him. We had a huge argument which ended with me getting a taxi to my sister’s house. What went wrong?

What is linguistics?

Linguistics may be defined as the scientific study of language. This definition unexceptionable as far as it goes, is one that will be found in a large number of textbooks and popular introductions to the subject. The term ’linguistics’ was first used in the middle of the nineteenth century; and there are many scholars currently engaged in research or teaching in the field of linguistics who would say that the subject itself is not much older than the term ’linguistics’. They would claim that earlier linguistic research (in Europe at least) was ama­teurish and unscientific. Now it is a matter of legitimate dispute just how far back one should go in tracing the history of what we would today recognize as ’linguistics’. We shall not go into this question here. But one point should he appreciated. The investigation of langua­ge, like the investigation of many other phenomena (including those that fall within the scope of what are commonly called the ’phy­sical’ sciences), has been subject to various changes in the interpre­tation of the words ’science’ and ’scientific’, not only in the remoter past, but also more recently.

One topic that commonly finds a place in discussions of the status of linguistics as a science is its ’autonomy’, or independence of other disciplines. Linguists have tended to be somewhat insistent on the need for autonomy, because they have felt that, in the past, the study of language was usually subservient to and distorted by the standards of other studies such as logic, philosophy and literary criticism. For this reason the editors of Saussure’s posthumous Cours de linguistique generate (the publication of which is often taken to mark the beginning of ’modern linguistics’) added to the text of the master its programmatic concluding sentence, to the effect that linguistics should study language ’for its own sake’ or ’as an end in itself’ (Saussure, 1916).

Whatever might be the precise meaning of the phrase ’language as an end in itself, the principle of ’autonomy’, as it has been applied in linguistics over the last fifty years, has led to a more general con­ception of the nature and function of language than was possible in the earlier periods of linguistic scholarship. An equally, if not more, important consequence of the principle of ’autonomy’ is that it promoted the study of language as a formal system.

Now that linguistics has established its credentials as a nature academic discipline with its own methodology and criteria of relevance (and one can reasonably claim that this is the case), there is no longer the same need to insist upon the principle of ’autonomy’. The last few years have seen an increased interest amongst philosophers, psycholo­gists, anthropologists, literary critics and representatives of other dis­ciplines in linguistic theory and methodology. Some scholars consider that the time may be ripe for the incorporation of the theory of language into a more embracing synthesis of science and philosophy.

Synchronic and diachronic. Throughout the nineteenth century linguistic research, was very strongly historical in character. One of the principal aims of the subject was to group languages into ’families’ (of which the Indo-European family is the best known) on the basis of their independent development from a common source. The description of particular languages was made subsidiary to this general aim; and there was little interest in the study of the language of a given community without reference to historical considerations. Saussure’s distinction between the diachronic and the synchronic investigations of language is a distinction between these two opposing viewpoints. Diachronic (or historical) linguistics studies the development of languages through time: for example, the way in which French and Italian have ’elolved’ from Latin. Synchronic linguistics (sometimes referred to rather inappropriately as ’descriptive’ linguistics) investi­gates the way people speak in a given speech community at a given point in time. It is now generally agreed that (due attention having been given to the definition of ’speech comminity’) the history of a language is in principle irrelevant to its synchronic description: but this fact was not generally appreciated by earlier linguists.

Аудирование:

Helen was a very successful business woman. She had always liked nice clothes, and when she left school she had gone and worked in a shop which sold them not far from her home. After a few experiments she showed that she was very successful at designing the sorts of things that women want to buy, so after a few years the owner of the shop, who was an oldish lady, offered to make her a partner.

Helen was very pleased, of course, and when the old lady retired, Helen bought her share and became the sole owner of the shop. Now she had her independence.

Ever since she had started in the shop she hsd hsd to travel around to see what attractive things her rivals in the clothes trade were producing, to attend fashion shows and so on. She had always stayed at small cheap hotels, because she dared not to spend too much money when she was saving up to buy a shop of her own.

But when at last she became the owner of the shop and it was making good profits, she found that she had plenty of money and she felt she should now stay in the best hotels whenever she traveled.

So when she had to go to the next fashion show, which was in Rome, she stayed t a very good hotel. She had a nice big room with beautiful furniture in which she could entertain customers and there were also fine public rooms where she could, to her great pride, hold small fashion shows of her own. The room service was excellent and so was the dining-room, which had a band every evening for dancing. Helen had never before dared to stay in such a splendid place.

She could see from the bills she signed for everything that the prices in the hotel were high but she was still rather surprised when, just before she left, she was given a bill of several pages, written on beautiful headed paper.

She checked the bill carefully and was happy with everything except the last line, which said”Paper… L 1800”, which was about 75p in British money. She could not remember having had any paper from the hotel, so she thought she should go to the cashier and ask him about it. “That, madam”, said the cashier,”is for the paper your bill is written on”.

Fields and aspects of linguistics

As with all the other sciences in our day, it is not possible for any one man to take all linguistics for his province. Therefore linguistics has many subdivisions, representing various ways in which the subject matter can be cut up. We may recognize three groups of these divisions, which can be called fields, aspects and branches.

The various fields of linguistics are arrived at by dividing the total subject matter into various language groups, language families, and individual languages. Thus we can speak of Indo-European, Semitic, or Algonkian linguistics, all of which deal with large language families. Or the field may be progressively narrowed. The field, Ame­rican English, belongs in the largest sense to Indo-European linguistics. This includes many lesser fields, among them Germanic, which in turn includes English.

The aspects of linguistics are divisions of the subject matter on the basis of time or point of view. Here the fundamental distinction is between synchronic and diachronic linguistics. Synchronic, a term also used in other fields such as anthropology, means "dealing with the state of affairs at a given point of time". It takes no account of history, in other words. On the other hand, diachronic, also used in other scien­ces, means "dealing with changes that occur in time". History is its material. This distinction between synchronic and diachronic lingui­stics is very important because many mistakes and fallacies result from overlooking it.

There is another kind of statement we can make about language, which, in effect, means there is another aspect under which we can study it. If we return to Shakespeare’s "most unkindest cut of all" it is apparent, that we can make a statement of this sort: "The double superlative, was used in Shakespeare’s English, but it is not used in the English of the twentieth century." The study of language from this point of view is comparative linguistics. It is always based on a foundation of synchronic or historical linguistics, or both, simply because comparisons are impossible without something to compare.

Finally, before we take leave of this rather lengthy discussion of the subdivision ot linguistics according to aspect, we should take note of the term structural linguistics. This is used to denominate the kind of linguistics which is primarily interested in discovering and describing as concisely and accurately as possible the interrelationships and pat­terns which make up the intricate structures of languages.

The third method by which the subject matter of linguistics can be subdivided is on the basis of the various parts, or layers of structure, which go to make up speech. This gives us the various branches of lin­guistics. Four branches may be recognized. They are:

P h o n e t i c s, whose subject matter is sound-features or qualities and their organization into speech-sounds, or phones.

P h o n e m i c s, whose subject matter is the organization of phones into groups or families, called phonemes, whose members are the significant sounds of speech.

M o r p h e m i c s, whose subject matter is the organization of phonemes into meaningful groups called morphs. It is also concerned with the organization of these morphs into family groups, called morphemes, and the combination of morphemes into words.

G r a m m a r, whose subject matter is the organization of words into various combinations, often representing many layers of structure, such as phrases, sentences, and complete utterances. Phonology is a cover term embracing phonetics and phonemics. Morphology and Syntax are subdivisions of grammar; the former deals with the structure of words, the latter with the structure of word groups.

What are proverbs?

The definition of a proverb given in the Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current English is as good as any: a ’popular short saying, with words of advice or warning’. Yet it is far from enabling us to identify a proverb with any certainty. Is any widely used short saying a proverb? The important word seems to be ’popular’. But how popular must a saying be to become a proverb? The line must evidently be drawn somewhere. We suggest that in the real sense of the word it must be thoroughly ’of the people’. It follows from this that it will usually be an old saying, since it is unlikely to become part of the popular consciousness in a short period of time. There are of course exceptions, and some proverbs jump into the popular mind with unusual rapidity, though we should have to exclude the purely transient catchphrases like ’I couldn’t care less’ or ’What’s the odds?’

The definition might have said ’a short wise saying’, but presumably this was thought unnecessary as the word ’saying’, when used in this way, implies wisdom. For wisdom is the other main ingredient of the proverb. To become popular it must at least appear outstandingly wise; to remain popular it must in truth contain enduring wisdom. That having been said, however, the fact remains that some wise say­ings have become proverbs, while others equally wise have not; they have been lost or they have remained merely occasional quota­tions.

It is these positive qualities that make the saying memorable, and by its very nature a proverb is memorable. The devices used in their expression to support this memorable quality are worth noting. Rhyme and assonance are one such device, e. g.:

Little strokes fell great oaks,

There’s many a slip ’twixt the cup and the lip,

A stitch in time saves mine.

A simple balanced form is perhaps the commonest device of all, e. g.:

More haste, less speed,

Easy come, easy go.

Brevity is of course an essential aspect of memorable sayings. There are very few proverbs that are at all long, and many of the most popular ones are very short indeed, e. g.:

Every dog has his day,

Never say die,

Better late than never.

Let sleeping dogs lie.

To become a proverb, a saying has to be taken up and assimilated by the common people. In the process, its origin is forgotten. In many cases this must have been as nearly literally true as makes no odds. In the numerous proverbs that summarize everyday experience, the saying probably did grow gradually into its proverbial form without any one single originator. Make hay while the sun shihes, with its origin in farm work, is a case in point. In the same way, Dont put all your eggs in one basket would have developed out of the common-sense experience of produce marketing.

On the other hand, it is equally evident that many other proverbs have had their origin in a specific wise man. If it was in a wise man of oral tradition, we shall of course have no recorded evidence, but if it was in a wise man whose thoughts were written down, we can sometimes trace the source.

In any case, the two sources, the obviously popular and the appa­rently literary, increasingly mingled. With the spread of the printed word sayings of wise men percolated down all the faster to the common people, who, if they found them to their liking, turned them into proverbs. Contrariwise, snatches of popular common sense readily found their way, often under disguise, into the writings of wise men.
