No doubt, numerous scholars have carried researches out on Nigeria’s squalid state after her independence. The focus of many of these studies range from investigating many of the topical issues that have come to define the country— from war, economy, to politicking. However, not many scholars have paid the enough attention to the ecological concerns of Nigerians. This paper, therefore, examines Kaine Agary’s Yellow Yellow as a testament to the environmental mindfulness of Kaine Agary, Nigerian novelists. The choice of this text is informed by the fact that there is a dearth of serious scholarly research on the novel. Using the theory of Ecocriticism, this study finds out that the author, Agary, is not unaware of the ecological implications of man’s exploitative tendencies on earth’s resources. In fact, he uses his work to berate these forces that promote the unchecked desecration of the mother earth, using the Niger Delta region of Nigeria as a case study.

Robert Frost is arguably the greatest American poet of 20th Century and if there is any truth to Emerson’s maxim “to be great is to be misunderstood,” then definitely Robert Frost is great as he is one of the most misunderstood poets. Critics have hotly debated whether or not he is a Nature-poet. This paper intends to examine the claim of Frost being a Nature-poet with an ecocritical perspective. We will review The Tuft of Flowers to understand whether or not he can be called Nature-poet. Humans have been writing poems about Nature for centuries and Frost has also described hills, mountains, valleys, rivers, forests, woods, flowers, animals, seasons, and seasonal changes in his poems in a beautiful way, but does description of flora and fauna in the poem makes the poet a Nature-poet has been studied in this paper.

The classical assumption that academic knowledge is an end in itself had undergone a tremendous change in the present global scenario where proficiency in spoken and written forms of English has acquired enormous importance. The market is always gutted with people possessing knowledge in medicine, engineering, architecture, accountancy etc. But the person who has knowledge plus ability to express his ideas coherently and undoubtedly is headed for higher success rate. We hear the fashionable rate phrase good communication skills widely bandied about these days. The art of communication has become a sine qua non for success in every sphere of life. Without good communication skills, one cannot function effectively, whether as a housewife or businessman, office secretary or club secretary, employee or employer, information hunter or bargain hunter, colleague or friend.

The present study “Consonantal system of Sherpa” discusses the Sherpas of Sikkim mainly settled in South and West District. According to the Census of India 2001, the total speaker of Sherpa in Sikkim is 13,922. However, Denzong Sherpa Association claims that the population of Sherpa is more than 65,000 out of which more than 32,000 people speak their Mother Tongue in their native environment particularly in the home domain. Linguistically, Robert Shafer has divided Tibeto-Burman into four main groups: Bodic, Baric, Burmic and Karenic. According to Shafer, Sherpa belongs to the Central Unit of the Bodish Section within the Bodic Sub-division of Sino-Tibetan. The present paper attempts to describe the Consonantal system of Sherpa. Sherpa has twenty six (26) consonantal sounds. It has fourteen stops i.e., /p, pʰ, b, t, tʰ, d, ʈ, ʈʰ, ɖ, c, cʰ, k, kʰ, ɡ/, four nasals /m, n, ɲ, ŋ/, four fricatives /s, ʃ, ʒ, h/ one lateral /l/one trill /r/ and two semi-vowels; bilabial semi-vowel /w/ and palatal semi-vowel /j/. Consonant combination in Sherpa can be classified into two categories these are: (i) consonant cluster (ii) consonant sequence. Sherpa has initial and medial consonant clusters that occur within the syllabic boundary. Sherpa has a wide variety of consonant sequences. Gemination, Homorganic and Contagious are the Consonant sequences found in Sherpa Language.
本文以“夏尔巴人的辅音系统”为研究对象，探讨了主要居住在锡金南部和西部地区的夏尔巴人。根据2001年印度人口普查，锡金夏尔巴语的使用者总数为13922人。然而，登宗夏尔巴人协会声称，夏尔巴人的人口超过65,000，其中超过32,000人在他们的母语环境中说母语，特别是在家乡。在语言学上，罗伯特·谢弗将藏缅语分为四个主要族群:博迪语、巴里克语、缅甸语和克伦尼克语。根据谢弗的说法，夏尔巴人属于汉藏藏语系博迪支的博迪支中央部。本文试图描述夏尔巴人的辅音系统。夏尔巴语有26个辅音。它有14个顿音，即/p, p k, b, t, t k, d, h/， h/， h/， p /， p /， k /， k /， c /， c /， k /， k /，四个鼻音/m, n, k /， k /，四个摩擦音/s, h/， h/一个侧音/l/一个颤音/r/和两个半元音;双舌半元音/w/和腭半元音/j/。夏尔巴语的辅音组合可分为两类:(1)辅音簇(2)辅音序列。夏尔巴语有出现在音节边界内的起始辅音团和中间辅音团。夏尔巴人有各种各样的辅音序列。双生音、同构音和传染音是夏尔巴语的辅音序列。

It is only the history of the people from the main stream of the society. The new history should be written focusing on the backward people. Throughout her life she makes documentation for the tribal people in her writings and activism. She writes and fights for the establishment of the rights for the Indian subaltern people. She thinks writing in a novel way. She dreams of a new society - a society for the underprivileged society.

Fagin in Dickens’ Oliver Twist unveils the English literary tradition and social reality of London Street Jews revealing antisemitism as a part of the Victorian culture. To create an archetypal supervillain who endangers the life of innocent juveniles, Dickens borrows from the antisemitic literary customs of his time to create a villainous character approved and hated; a Jew. Fagin’s exaggerated characterisation is modelled on medieval antisemitism and is reflective of Dickens’ antisemitic ideology and the then social reality of Jews living on London Streets. Dickens accepts and reflects on the antisemitism of his age to establish a Jew as the immutable villain of the London society. This paper critiques the antisemitic unconscious of Dickens reflected through the character of Fagin and further analyses his method of creation impregnated with elements of literary and traditional antisemitism for his villainous portrayal.

The assessment system in any institution plays an essential role in producing quality students and their performance. Quizzes are also assessments that assist students in continuously making good scores, and finally, they significantly affect their study results and overall performance. The study aims to determine how quizzes affect students' final achievement of Saudi Arabian students. Two groups of 100 students were the subjects in each group. One group had a pretest and final exam. In contrast, the other group had four quizzes of the same marks as of pretest, and the other was a final test that ultimately affected their final achievement score significantly. The study's finding shows that quizzes do have a mentionable impact on students' overall performance of language skills. This study will guide the educationalists, syllabus designers, and authorities in designing the course assessment and evaluation procedures. This study will also help the new researchers explore more in this field.

The Inheritance of Loss requires background information on two major historical movements in India. The first is British colonial rule in India and eventual Indian independence. At the end of the 16th century, the British aimed to challenge the Portuguese monopoly of trade with Asia. The British East India Company was chartered to carry on the spice trade. In the mid18th century, the British forces, whose duty until then consisted of protecting Company property, teamed up with the commander in chief of the Bengali army, Mir Jafar, to overthrow the leader of Bengal. Jafar was then installed on the throne as a British subservient ruler. The British then realized their strength and potential for conquering smaller Indian kingdoms, and by the mid-19th century, they had gained direct or indirect control over all of present-day India. In 1857, the Indian Rebellion of 1857 took place in an attempt to resist the company’s control of India. The British defeated the rebellion, and the British crown formally took over India and it came under direct British rule and the Indian Civil Service (ICS). The ICS was originally headed by British state officials, but these were gradually replaced by Indian officials in order to appease the public.

Literature is one of the most prevailing and ancient ways of understanding life as well as the world. Especially women and literature are clearly related to each other because women writings revealed the true state of society and its treatment of women. Unlike other writers Anita Desai didn't use conventional and not influenced by folk tales, myths and epics but presented her novels in realistic manner by adapting current problems related to woman-man relationship, cultural conflicts, disposition, mangled psyche and marital maladjustment. Bye- Bye Black bird is such a novel. The story deals with two main characters Dev and Adit in London. Adit an Anglophile turns into a hopeless nostalgic returnee and Dev an Anglophobe turns into a hopeful Anglicized inhabitant of London. Sarah, an English woman, moves away from her parents and marries Adit. The Conflict idea between the Indianess of Adit and Sarah’s own Western self runs in her mind throughout the novel. This paper mainly aims to analyze marital maladjustment in Anita Desai’s Bye- Bye Black Bird."
