Expression of surprise in modern English

19 Октября 2011, курсовая работа

The interpretation of human’s emotional states and feelings, as a special form of the reflection of reality, is generally adopted. There is a great number of the shades of these states. Unfortunately, language doesn’t have enough number of words to transmit all possible shades of these feelings. Exploration of emotional speech is an actual and insufficiently studied problem in contemporary linguistics. The great number of different opinions about including emotionality into the sphere of linguistic analysis, the absence of systemic description of its characteristics explain such situation.

Fears and dreads (Страх и ужас)

05 Ноября 2012, реферат

О спутниках Марса на английском языке. An enquirer of the newsgroup alt.usage.english recently asked for the word that described an irrational fear of dogs. In such circumstances, a word ending in phobia is bound to be appropriate, because this is now the standard term for any extreme aversion, irrational fear or dread. After searching my sources for examples of the appropriate word, curiosity led me to look into similar terms.
It is so strongly associated with modern psychiatry and pop-psychology that it is a little surprising to discover that as a word in its own right phobia dates back as far as 1786. Its source is the Greek word meaning “fear; horror”, which also turns up in a closely-related form in the name of one of the two moons of Mars, Phobos, so called in 1877 by its discoverer, the American Asaph Hall, after one of the two horses that in legend pulled the war chariot of the Greek god of war (the other being Deimos, “panic”, which name he gave to the other moon)

27 Ноября 2011, статья

After several months of improvement, hiring by businesses slowed to a crawl in November, a development that is sure to intensify the debate over what can and should be done to reignite the economy. The United States added a total of just 39,000 jobs last month, down from an upwardly revised gain of 172,000 in October, the Labor Department reported on Friday.

General properties of cement

15 Мая 2013, реферат

All types of cement shrink during setting. In a normal concrete the amount of this shrinkage will depend both on the proportion of cement in the mix and the quantity of mixing water employed. Provided enough water is present to enable the chemical action of setting to take place then the smaller the amount of water the less shrinkage there will be. The type of aggregate used has an appreciable effect upon both the amount of water and the amount of aggregate that can be mixed with given quantity of cement. Strength and durability of concrete are linked properties in that they are both associated with the low water-cement ration. In addition to the proportion of cement and the water cement ratio of a cement product, the method of curing will also affect the amount of shrinkage. Normally, the slower the drying the less shrinkage there will be.
