Lingual Sovereignty: Chinua Achebe’s Novel Things Fall Apart A Postcolonial Study

The discourse surrounding lingual sovereignty within the African postcolonial context is profoundly intertwined with the fabric of cultural identity and self-determination. Language serves not merely as a conduit for communication but as a repository for a people's collective consciousness, encapsulating their traditions, thoughts, and perspectives. In the realm of postcolonial literature, this dialogue often grapples with the paradox of expressing indigenous narratives through the linguistic tools of former colonizers. Chinua Achebe's seminal work, "Things Fall Apart," exemplifies this conundrum, artfully weaving the orature and culture of Umuofia within the English language. Achebe's choice to write in English—a language imposed upon his native land through colonialism—does not diminish the sovereignty of his cultural expression. Instead, it serves as an act of subversion, repurposing the language to convey a narrative inherently African in its essence. This strategic use of English enables Achebe to reach a broader audience while simultaneously challenging imperialistic narratives. The novel stands as a testament to the fact that lingual sovereignty transcends the mere use of native tongues; it is embodied in the assertion of one's narrative and cultural truths, regardless of the medium.

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Schiff Bases Containing Isoxazoline or Pyrazoline Unit

  This work involves synthesis of novel Schiff bases derivatives contining isoxazoline or pyrazoline units starting with chalcons . 4-Aminoacetophenone was react with pnitrobenzaldehyde or p-chlorobenzaldehyde in basic medium giving chalcones [I]a,b by claisenschemidt reactions. The chalcones [I]a,b were reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride giving isoxazolines [II]a,b  in basic medium. The chalcone [I]a could also reacted with hydrazine hydrate to give pyrazolines [III]a  . The novel Schiff bases with structural formula [VIII]n , [IX]n , [X]m and [XI]m were prepared by the reaction of amino compounds ; isoxazoline [II]a,b and pyrazolines [III]a with monoaldehydes [VI]n and dialdehydes [VII]m , respectively in dry benze

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Compounds Containing of Imidazolidinone and Oxazepine Rings

The compound 3-[4Ì„-(4Ë­-methoxy benzoyloxy) benzylideneamino]-2-thioxo-imidazolidine-4-one [III] was prepared from the cyclization of thiosemicarbazone [II] with
ethyl α -chloroacetate in the presence of fused sodium acetate. Treatment the later compound
with acetic anhydride yielded the corresponding 1-Acetyl-3-[ 4Ì„- (4Ë­- methoxy benzoyloxy)
benzylideneamino] – 2 – thioxo -imidazolidine-4-one [IV]. 1,3-Oxazepine derivatives [V]a-d
and [VI]a-d are obtained from the reaction of compounds[III] and [IV] with different acid
anhydrides, in dry benzene. The FTIR and
1
HNMR spectroscopy are indicated a good
evidence for the formation of the synthesized compounds. Some of the synthesized

The Discourse of the Absent Woman Novel for Mahdi Issa Al-Saqr

The semiotic trend of recent monetary trends task that took a wide range of attention of critics and readers alike, especially after the deployment, which accompanied him after widespread acts critic Grimas and powers applicable to the literary texts and is thus expanded its care circle, hence the choice of the novel (absent) woman Iraqi novelist (Mahdi ‘Issa falcon) model to be applied to the study chose to be a semiotic approach through the use of procedural mechanisms for its critical tool (Paris School of semiotics), cash and views of its founder critic Grimas.The research in the introduction and pave came we made it a vision for literary semiotic and its impact trend in cash and cash is and what it desire to clarify some poked suc

Representations of the ego and the other In the Iraqi feminist novel

The other is a problematic concept and can be achieved only by the existence of difference and differentiation between human groups in views and views, the other is out of the ego, which is different religiously, politically, socially, culturally, place and language.
We take from the Iraqi feminist novel analytical field to reflect the image of the other in the novelist world, and the models chosen for the study are: the novel granddaughter of American novelist Anaam Kjie Ji, and novel how the sky seemed close to the novelist Batoul al-Khudairi, and novel when you wake up the smell of novelist Dni Ghali, and the rope of the umbilical and the novel Shufuni Shufuni The novel by Samira Al-Manea, the novelist of the novelist Alia Mamdouh,

Development of novel demountable shear connectors for precast steel-concrete composite bridges

Two novel demountable shear connectors for precast steel-concrete composite bridges are presented. The connectors use high-strength steel bolts, which are fastened to the steel beam with the aid of a special locking configuration that prevents slip of bolts within their holes. Moreover, the connectors promote accelerated construction and overcome typical construction tolerances issues of precast structures. Most importantly, the connectors allow bridge disassembly, and therefore, can address different bridge deterioration scenarios with minimum disturbance to traffic flow, i.e. (1) precast deck panels can be rapidly uplifted and replaced; (2) connectors can be rapidly removed and replaced; and (3) steel beams can be replaced, while precast

Structural and Spectroscopic Study of Novel Tetradentate Macrocyclic Ligand Type N4 and It’s Complexes with CrIII, MnII, FeII, CoII, NiII ,CuII, PdII and CdII

   Ethylenediamine was reacted in the first step with 2,5 – hexandion to produce the precursor [A] , then [A] was reacted with diethylmalonate to give the new tetradentate macrocyclic Ligand [H2L].This Ligand was reacted with some metal ions in ethanol to give a series of new metal complexes of the general formula [M(HnL)X]m  ( where : M= CrIII  ,      n = 0 ,  X= Cl2 , m= -1 ;  M = MnII , FeII , NiII , CuII ,      n = 1 , X= Cl2 , m = -1 ;  M = CoII , n = 0 ,       X = Cl , m = -1 ; M = PdII , n = 0 , X=0 , m = 0  ; M = CdII , n = 2 , X = 0 ,     m = +2 .  All compounds were characterize

A Study of a-Si:H Absorption Edge Using Dunstan’s Model

The optical absorption data of Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon was analyzed using a Dunstan model of optical absorption in amorphous semiconductors. This model introduces disorder into the band-band absorption through a linear exponential distribution of local energy gaps, and it accounts for both the Urbach and Tauc regions of the optical absorption edge.Compared to other models of similar bases, such as the O’Leary and Guerra models, it is simpler to understand mathematically and has a physical meaning. The optical absorption data of Jackson et al and Maurer et al were successfully interpreted using Dunstan’s model. Useful physical parameters are extracted especially the band to the band energy gap , which is the energy gap in the a

Provisions for annulment in a reconciliation contract : A Comparative Study

First of all, The annulment raises scientific and practical problems that reflect its peculiarity, as it relates to how the judge faces the dispute in a case in which reconciliation between the litigants took place, and what can be attributed to the judge’s judgment in this regard, whether that estimate is related to the factual elements in the case or the objective elements and their approach With the circumstances surrounding the dispute, and considering the possibility of applying the provisions of annulment established in the general rules, which is not easy in all cases due to the special nature of annulment in the conciliation contract, it is necessary to clarify the role that the judge plays, and his use of his legal tools that
