English Grammar: Concept of Abstract Nouns

Abstract nouns as the name implies, exist in the abstract. They are nouns that you cannot touch physically. Students of English must note that sentence formation with abstract nouns also require verbal agreement. For instance, to make sentence with the word ' knowledge' , the verb must be singular: one can say 'Knowledge is power' . Here the verb ' is ' agrees with the subject ' knowledge ' which is an abstract noun.

Next, look at the following sentence: ' Wisdom is required for success in any human endeavour ' . For the purpose of this discussion , ' wisdom ' and ' success ' are abstract nouns placed in the above grammatical context. They obey all the rules guiding sentence formation with nouns. In the above sentence ' wisdom ' is the subject of the verb ' is ' . And ' success ' is the object of the preposition ' for ' . A person who puts the verb ' succeed ' in place of the noun ' success ' in the above grammatical context would have committed a grammatical blunder. Equally if the verb ' wise ' is substituted for the abstract noun ' wisdom ' in the above sentence, then the student has made an incorrect sentence, grammatically speaking.

It is therefore to be very carefully noted by all speakers and users of the English Language that basic grammatical rules of agreement must be observed when making sentences involving abstract nouns.

The Working of the Nervous System

The brain is the centre of the nervous system. This article will centre on the brain as the centre of the nervous system. All the nervous responses from all the five senses are directly linked to the brain. They all have direct relation to the working of the brain. The antecedents of high productivity,creativity, relaxation and pure energy are all functions of the brain.

The brain itself is made up of billions of brain cells called neurons. These neurons communicate with each other with electrical speed. For instance if someone looks at a red cloth, there are certain internetworking of signals that work together to interpret first of all that this is a piece of cloth and another level of interpretation stating that the colour is red. Here the sense of sight is working with the brain to interpret the colour as red. All this takes place within seconds. We marvel at the wonderful creation of God. If you touch something that is cold, the signal is sent to the brain for the one to feel cold and interpret it as such. From the foregoing it is clear that the brain is really the centre of the nervous system.

Economics: International Trade

In Economics ,International Trade can be defined as trade between nations.There are certain problems that face international trade. Such problems include differences of currency, linguistic barriers, and artificial barriers like cutom duties and tarrifs.
The principles of International Trade.The business of international trade is guided by the law of comparative advantage.The law of comparative advantage states that countries should specalize in the production of commodities in which they have comparative advantage over others. The theory of comparative cost is merely an extension of the principle of comparativwe advantage.This theory was propounded by Richardo in the nineteenth century.
The Merits of International Trade include:
1.It leads to increase in world output of commodities. 2. It leads to increase in standard of living all over the world. 3. It brings about the prospect for world peace. 4. It increases the number and variety of goods. 5. It tends to increase specialization. 6. It brings about exchange of ideas. And it brings about efficient allocation of resources.

Oral English- Theoretical Orientation

Oral English is otherwise called Spoken English. This concept is based on the phoneme theory. First of all let us define a phoneme.What is a phoneme? Phonologically speaking ,the phoneme is the smallest distinctive unit of sound. In other words sound units are called phonemes. They are distinctive and this is one major characteristic that phonemes have.What do we mean when we say that phonemes are distinctive? This means that phonemes are reciprocally exclusive.

This means that two different phonemes cannot occur in the same linguistic environment.For example in the word 'bed' the medial vowel sound is \e\ and it is distinctive. It remains \e\ and any attempt to replace it with another phoneme and still retain the original meaning of the word 'bed' is impossible.Once another phoneme is used to replace the phoneme in the original word, in this case 'bed', the meaning of the word automatically changes. This is the main characteristic of phonemes and students and undergraduates in universities must study this theory very well to grasp the total message.Oral English is fundamental to the study of English Language and this is why some examining bodies like NECO and WAEC have made Oral English a compulsory part of their English Language examination.

English Grammar... Nominalization

What is nominaliztion? This is the act of turning words and phrases into nouns.In this lecture I shall teach you how words like ' strong, long, beautiful,late and so on' can be turned into nouns.When these words are turned into nouns their grammatical context also changes.This brings us to another grammatical component called 'Inflecxion'. What is inflexion? Inflexion is a change in the form of a word to show change of meaning.And this is why I said above that once a word has undergone nominalization, that is when it is changed to a noun it aquires a shade of meaning and its grammatical context automatically changes.

For instance in the sentence 'The building is a long one'. Here the word 'long' is an adjective qualifying the noun 'one' that represents the building.But if 'long' is changed to a noun it becomes 'length' and its grammatical context changes.For instance you cannot speak or write 'The building is a 'length' one'.This is a wrong sentence because the word 'length' is an abstract noun' .So the correct sentence becomes 'The length of the building is big'. The grammatical context has changed because of a change in the form of the word ' long'.It has turned to 'strength'. To be continued

WASSCE Oral English

Oral English has become a part of WAEC Engish Language examination. It is therefore pertinent to note that the candidates who want to make credits in their Waec or NECO examination on English must aim at a good knowledge of Oral English.It must also be noted that the knowledge of Oral Engish is not limited to any of these public examinations.The function of oral English is to help individuals know how to pronounce words of English in daily life.This writer did Oral English as a full course in the university and is therefore very much qualified to talk authoritatively on the subject. And the facts I present are verifiable and readers are enjoined to make more research and come up with any new ideas as we know that learning is a continuos process.And again no one is a repository of knowledge.Therefore I welcome any useful comments on any of my articles.

There are twenty-four consonants in the English Language and in my subsequent articles I will try to detail lectures on oral English for the benefit of all. We have two groups of consonants: the voiced and voiceless consonants. To be continued.
