Establishing the nature of relationship between Linguistics and bio-sciences, especially Genetic ... more Establishing the nature of relationship between Linguistics and bio-sciences, especially Genetic Studies is nether an imagination today, nor an ambitious project at all, as psychologists, linguists and genetic scientists started to put there keen interest in this endeavour at the beginning of the twentieth-first century. The study of FOXP2-a potential human gene responsible for the degeneration of half of the members of famous KE family's speech and language performances, starts an epoch-making initiative in this regard. This paper provides a brief description of the research projects dedicated to explore POXP2 gene, including identifying speech and language behaviour of human beings with particular reference to this gene.

Pragmatics-dealing with the nature of language usage or contextual meaning of language expression... more Pragmatics-dealing with the nature of language usage or contextual meaning of language expression-passes a long history to establish its own identity in the world academic arena. Although pragmatics is now identified as one of the core branches of linguistics, it originally derives from a special branch of philosophy of language. This paper providing a brief sketch of the origin of pragmatics isolates not only its philosophical tradition but also the nature of interaction with semiotics and linguistics. Finally, it describes how pragmatics assimilated with two prominent knowledge traditions of the world maintaining two different names and identities as well.

In addition, it interprets culture, and related phenomena, by means of the scientific method. Further, the domain of semiotics includes social, temporal and spatial phenomena, from aerospace to the human mind, and from prehistory to the remote future. Viewed in this light, semiotics could be regarded as an essential discipline of the academic world. This paper explains the necessity of studying semiotics worldwide, its nature and characteristics, and its scope as a global discipline.

All types of reading activities are always processed through the brain. As the storehouse of cognitive mechanism the brain activates reading process— one of the most complex cognitive functions of human beings. In fact,Reading involves visual information from a written text with the help of some invisible techniques derived from the stimulation of the neural components of the brain. Here the written text works as the visual stimuli of the reading process. So, nowadays most research experiments on depicting cognitive as well as neural aspects of reading techniques involve words (both familiar and unfamiliar) and pseudowords as stimuli. This book provides a comprehensive methodology of how to select words stimuli as well as construct pseudowords from the respective words to be used in the experiment. Though the method, this book discusses, emphasizes the designing process of the Arabic and Bengali words as well as p...

Ayrıca kutsal kitapların göz ardı ettiği sosyal gelenekleri, görenekleri ve insan davranış kalıplarını ve bunlardan türetilen kuralları ve yasaları da yasaklamaktadır. Önde gelen sosyal kurumlardan biri olan din, bir toplum içindeki inananlar tarafından izlenecek farklı kodları yürürlüğe koymaktadır. Bu tür sosyal kodlar bazen psikolojik durumları, özellikle farklı bilişsel uygulamaları çok yönlü bir şekilde kısıtlar. Böylece din, insan zihnini ve sosyalleşme sürecini azami ölçüde kontrol etmek amacıyla farklı toplumsal düzenleri tanımlar ve pekiştirir. İnsanların nöro-bilişsel motor davranışlarının bir tezahürü olan jestler, dünyanın birçok yerinde bu tür kuralcı din kodları tarafından denetlenmektedir. Bengalce konuşulan bölgede, İslami kurallar ve yasalar, kamusal işlevlerde el hareketlerini, özellikle de sol elin hareketlerini çok kaba bir davranış olarak ele alır. Bu bölgedeki insanlar, bu tür dini kuralları takip etme yöntemi olarak, bu elin hareketlerini farklı sosyal ve dini faaliyetlerde çok kuvvetli bir şekilde kontrol etmektedir. Bazen, dini değerlerin ve geleneklerin baskısı nedeniyle, halka açık yerlerde yapılan sol el hareketlerinden bir tür kendiliğinden olan bilişsel tahrik- kaçınmaları gerekir. Bu makale, hem Bengalce konuşan insanların sol el tabularının doğasını hem de sol elin jest üretimi esnasında kısıtlı zamansal ve uzamsal oranlar ile kontrollü kullanımını incelemektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Sol El Tabusu, Tabu, Jest ve Biliş, Sol El, Bilişsel Kontrol.

Searle's theory helps identify the underlying communicative intentions of these hand gestures a Bengali sender regularly performs to communicate with the receiver in Bengali linguistic culture. Finally, this dissertation arguably extracts the linguistic structures of the above symbolic hand gestures.
