Essay from the year 2008 in the subject American Studies - Linguistics, University of Debrecen (Regnum-M educational Co.), course: university essay workshop, language: English, abstract: How to make linguistics enjoyable? What is linguistics for me and linguistics approaches in everyday speech? I studied linguistics before, or at least my college professor did all the efforts to teach me. I have never been against it; however, it is rather hard to grab the essence of this wonderful discipline sometimes. For all this, I would give it a try. In the first Unit we come across an interesting dialog between two teenagers, actually presenting a joke of which punchline is perfectly collaborated and understood by all of them. The principle task is to collect similar dialogs and analyze them from a linguistic point of view. I do not want to repeat the linguistic analysis of the two kids exploring the joke of the chicken that crossed the road, therefore I have tried to seek similar examples. In order to work out a life-like situation, I have opted for two names; let us have Jessica and James talking to each other in the first dialog.

Educating Catholic Children in the Case of Parental Divorce, Cohabitation and Re-marriage: A Church Law Review

János Talabér

Scientific Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Theology - Practical Theology, , language: English, abstract: In the aspect of the Council and the new code, the parental rights had been settled and it seemed to be absolutely clear what these rights and obligations had been. However, as this essay would like to show, there remained many questions opened. The major thing that kept us puzzle through our previous doctoral research as well was that how parental rights and duties can be exercised if the parents get divorced, or there is a partner of life (cohabitation) and also when one or both parents remarry. In these cases, the duties and the rights must be handled more precisely. We do think that the Code does not count on these in every detail. The problem might be that the CIC itself would not account for civil divorce and re-marriage. It only speaks about “legal” separation. However, in the case of a successful nullity case and positive decision, we must account for remarriage, or partnership where the duties and right must also be exercised, and the children must get the proper education.

Obstacles to Fulfilling the Parental Canonical Duties in the Field of Catholic Education

János Talabér

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2002 in the subject Theology - Miscellaneous, grade: cum laude, Pazmany Peter Catholic University and American National College (Regnum-M educational Co. / Kirchenrecht), language: English, abstract: Many would consider Codex Iuris Canonici to be the best choice of triggering out a new, acceptable, modern legislation in the Catholic Church1, the origin source of maintaining the unique spells of Christ, of which faithful had to be given an up-to-date book of church disciplinae. However, in many fields the duties and rights are somehow violated, even do obstacles lie in front of them. The intent purpose of this essay, therefore, is to deal with obstacles lying before the acceptable fulfillment of duties of the christian believers in the field of catholic education. When our dealing with the topic of catholic education, canons 793-821 are put into view. We would not, however, state that all duties are violated, and that the purpose of the editors of the code has not reached its aims. Our wish is to highlight those fields in the civil legislations where, practically proved, there are some significant obstacles preventing the faithful from giving the most proper education to their offspring. Thus, we cannot apart from drawing the historical as well as legal backgrounds to make out obvious and provable evidences. (c) Talabér János doktori értekezés, Doctoral Essay: ABSTRACT (c)

Remembering the Kanji, Volume 1: A Complete Course on How Not to Forget the Meaning and Writing of Japanese Characters

James W. Heisig

The aim of this book is to provide the student of Japanese with a simple method for correlating the writing and the meaning of Japanese characters in such a way as to make them both easy to remember. It is intended not only for the beginner, but also for the more advanced student looking for some relief from the constant frustration of how to write the kanji and some way to systematize what he or she already knows. The author begins with writing because--contrary to first impressions--it is in fact the simpler of the two. He abandons the traditional method of ordering the kanji according to their frequency of use and organizes them according to their component parts or "primitive elements." Assigning each of these parts a distinct meaning with its own distinct image, the student is led to harness the powers of "imaginative memory" to learn the various combinations that result. In addition, each kanji is given its own key word to represent the meaning, or one of the principal meanings, of that character. These key words provide the setting for a particular kanji's "story," whose protagonists are the primitive elements. In this way, students are able to complete in a few short months a task that would otherwise take years. Armed with the same skills as Chinese or Korean students, who know the meaning and writing of the kanji but not their pronunciation in Japanese, they are now in a much better position to learn to read (which is treated in a separate volume). For further information and a sample of the contents, visit http: ///www.nanzan-u.ac.jp/SHUBUNKEN/publications/miscPublications/Remembering_the_Kanji_l.htm.
