Lesson Three Pub Talk and the King’s English Background Information Henry Fairlie: he was born in London, came to the U.S. in the mid-1960s, working for The New Republic. He is known as a feisty 活跃的chronicler年代纂辑of U.S. politics and moes. He died at the age of 66, after a stroke and heart attack. Pub: also known as the public house, is a center of social life for a large number of people (esp. men) in Britain. Pubs, besides offering a wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and providing hot and cold food, serve as places for meeting friends and for entertainment. Many have, for instance, television sets, amusement machines and juke-boxes and provide facilities for playing darts, billiards, dominoes and similar games. Some also employ musicians for evening entertainment, such as piano playing, folk singing and modern jazz. Metaphor from a cognitive linguistic point of view Metaphors, according to the cognitive linguists, are something more than rhetorical device or phenomenon; they reflect people’s way of thinking about things. Throughout their book Metaphors We Live By, Lakoff and Johnson repeatedly remind us that metaphor is a basic means of human cognition of the real world, a way of thinking, a mode of knowing the world and a manner of conceptualizing the experiences. A popular belief of the cognitive linguistics is that metaphor is the process of the mapping or projection from the source concept onto the target concept. eg. Her anger boiled over. HUMAN BODY IS A CONTAINER/ANGER IS FLUID. Thus the fact that when fluid in a container is heated beyond a certain limit, it will overflow corresponds to the fact that when anger increases beyond a certain limit, a person will lose control and has a catharsis 宣泄of his overwhelming anger. Nash: Thomas Nash or Nashe (1567-1601) was a journalist with a keen weapon of satire, whose pamphlets appealed to public interest in serious questions, such as the power of the bishops, and in private scandal. Dekker: Thomas Dekker, through his plays his individuality is distinctly reflected—a sunny light-hearted nature, full of real, even if somewhat disorderly genius. Detailed Study of the Text §Why does the essay have this title? What do pub talk and the King’s English stand for respectively? Pub talk stands for informal and daily conversation while the King’s English stands for formal language used by the King. P 1: §What’s the topic sentence of this para? What’s the function of the first sentence? The topic sentence of this para is “And it is an activity only of humans.” The first sentence is the theme of this essay, which is repeated in many places in this essay. the King’s/Queen’s English: the supposedly correct or standard English (esp. British English) as to grammar and pronunciation Conversation…human activities. sociable: friendly/agreeable, esp. in an easy, informal way More than any other human activity, conversation helps to promote an agreeable, pleasant and informal relationship among people. And it is an activity only of humans. And conversation is an activity which is found only among human beings (animals and birds are not capable of conversation). However intricate…name of conversation. communicate: to give or exchange information, signal/messages in any way deserve the name of: to have a right to be called, be worthy of the name of No matter how complicated the manner in which animals make known their intentions to each other, they do not go in for any activity which might rightly be called conversation.
