In order to show continuity with his other works, four of McEwan＇s novels--The lnnocent （1990）, Amsterdam （1999）, Saturday （2006）, and On Chesil Beach （2008）, have been analyzed before elaborating the novel and film adaptation of Atonement （2007）. Apart from the narratological analysis, McEwan＇s layered works lend themselves to different kinds of readings, and the authors have used the theoretical notions of Immanuel Kant （1952） as well as concepts derived from the postmodem philosophical movement. The aim of the paper is to show how the chronotopical and intertextual nature of the literary original finds a worthy equivalent in the film version, proving the feasibility of a successful intermedial transfer of a complex narrative structure展开更多

With each new edition upgraded, OALD conforms to the contemporary language teaching and learning processes worldwide. This article presents its structural development--an evolution from its very first, Japanese edition in 1942 towards the latest one in 2015. The analysis deals with the development and changes within the macrostructural （front matter, the body, appendices） and microstructural （headword, spelling, pronunciation, part of speech, senses, definitions, illustrations, usage） frames of the dictionary.展开更多

The total sample included 108Croatian L1 primary school learners （mean age 11-13）. In this research, we selected 12 focal learners from twoproject schools, whose interlanguage development was observed over a period of three years. The research wasbased on the recordings of individual oral production when the students were at the end of their second, third, andfourth year of EFL learning. The quantitative analysis of the collected data included the number of utterances andmorphemes count, mean length of utterances （MLU）, and type/token ratio （FREQ）. To gain better insight intostudent＇s individual development, learners＇ profiles were constructed consisting quantitative data analysis. Theinitial hypothesis is that students＇ oral production shows clear progress which supposes an increase in the meanlength of utterances and in type/token ratio as indicators of linguistic and lexical diversity. We also assume thatthere is a decrease in the use of L1 in learners＇ oral production throughout the years of EFL learning. The researchresults confirmed the initial hypothesis, i.e., due to the exposure to EFL learning, participants＇ overall languageproficiency gradually increased. The findings also showed expected interlanguage variations in early EFL learning.展开更多
