Highly evolved wordsmiths, Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon, add: O.K., we've set a new record here for elisions and ellipses, because this passage comes from a sort of vocabulary book of Neolithic utterances, and each word in our passage starting with "acute" is actually the heading for a paragraph or more.

What gets me every single time I see this erasure is the irony of the fact that the very work of reconsidering and recuperating such elisions in canons of visual culture is the springboard for some of the most compelling contemporary scholarship happening today (as well as countless Wiki edit-a-thons).

There's clearly some horribly painful family history, but we see it only in glimpses and elisions; Bell and her mother are more concerned with the business of getting a new little house delivered, getting a stove and plumbing put in, and figuring out whether the ex-con who lives in a trailer on the property is a danger to her or not.

The piece "Tortures (I Want to Add …)" (2019) is painful to read: "When I was tortured with current, my mouth was full of crumbled teeth and my mouth was full of blood …" Kameelah Janan Rasheed uses written language as well, but not to form a convincing account of a speaker's experience, but instead to show how it has various permutations, slips, and elisions, rhymes and contradictions much like our current politics and our political representatives.

The common elision within words ("howe'er" and "howsome," e.g.) were not merely graphical. As Paul Fussell and others have pointed out, these elisions were intended to be read aloud exactly as printed. Therefore, these elisions effectively created words that existed only in poetry.

A morphological transducer both analyses and generates forms. #The post-generator makes any necessary orthographic changes due to the contact of words (e.g. elisions). #The reformatter replaces formatting markup (HTML, RTF, etc.) that was removed by the deformatter in the first step. #Apertium delivers the target-language translation.

When a word precedes another word beginning with a vowel, assimilation or deletion ('elision') of one of the vowels often takes place.See Bamgboṣe 1965a for more details. See also Ward 1952:123–133 ('Chapter XI: Abbreviations and Elisions'). In fact, since syllables in Yoruba normally end in a vowel, and most nouns start with one, it is a very common phenomenon, and it is absent only in very slow, unnatural speech.

The first is in terms of telos: that writing will strengthen the nation or ethnie. The other way is the more troubled interrogative reading that raises the same questions of cultural identity, through textual elisions and ambivalences inter alia, about writing and the Gorkha/Nepali community. I raise the possibility, and vacillate between, both kinds of reading in this introductory essay, but the very act of vacillating veers me towards the latter.

"Before" is a short story by American writer Gael Baudino, written deliberately in a style similar to William Faulkner's: the foreword to the story says, "the sometimes strange syntax and editorial elisions are intentional in this homage to Faulkner." It concerns Greta Harlow, a young woman living in a Lee's Corners, a small town in fictional Oktibushubee County. She is raped and impregnated by Jimmy White, son of a prominent and wealthy businessman. An elderly wealthy woman, Mrs.

63 In 1967, Hartman claims that within the poem, "Wordsworth achieves the most haunting of his elisions of the human as a mode of being separate from nature."Hartman 1967 p. 158 John Mahoney, in 1997, emphasises the poem's "brilliant alliteration of the opening lines" along with pointing out that "the utter simplicity masks the profundity of feeling; the delicate naturalness of language hides the range of implication". Antonia Till remarks that the poem consists mainly of monosyllables with the occasional disyllable.

The so-called punt volat or middot is only used in the group (called ela or el(e) geminada, 'geminate el') to represent a geminated sound , as is used to represent the palatal lateral . This usage of the middot sign is a recent invention from the beginning of twentieth century (in medieval and modern Catalan, before Fabra's standardization, this symbol was sometimes used to note certain elisions, especially in poetry). The only (and improbable) case of ambiguity in the whole language that could arise is the pair ceŀla ('cell') vs cella ('eyebrow').

"Drunk" incorporates elements from 1990s R&B; music. "Flower" is an experimental interlude, in the form of a spiritual, Pakistani ghazal that Malik sings in Urdu, his father's native language, backed by Ho's folk-style acoustic guitar playing and atmospheric sounds resembling a thick mist. Qawwali is a form of devotional Sufi music associated with Islamic culture, and Malik used Indian techniques for the track, including vocal elisions, warbling, and "deeply centered but controlled fervor". "Flower" was influenced by Indian Music, music his father used to play in his home.

" David Thompson of Sight and Sound commented that "Nolan shows a natural talent for a fluent handheld aesthetic." However, Tony Rayns felt that the film's climax was uninspired, saying that "the generic pay off is a little disappointing after the edgy, character based scenes of exposition". Empire's Trevor Lewis questioned the skill of the film's inexperienced cast, saying that they "lack the dramatic ballast to compensate for [Nolan's] erratic plot elisions." In contrast, David Thompson was of the opinion that the "unfamiliar cast acquit themselves well in a simple naturalistic style.

The syllabic structure of Aguaruna is quite complex because the language contains many clusters of consonants and vowels. A nucleus may consist of short vowels, long vowels, diphthongs, and triphthongs, and processes like synaeresis and other vowel elisions further complicate it. The underlying syllable structure is (C)V(N): a vowel as the nucleus, an optional consonant as the onset, and an optional nasal segment as the coda, which may either be a nasal or a nasalized vowel. There are several processes that occur when producing the phonetic syllable.

But, as the story goes, it was the moonrakers who had the last laugh. In the words of Wiltshire shepherd William Little who recounted the story to writer John Yonge Akerman: "Zo the excizeman ’as ax’d ’n the question ’ad his grin at ’n,…but they’d a good laugh at ’ee when ’em got whoame the stuff.”Expanding the elisions gives "So the exciseman as asked un the question had his grin at un, but they had a good laugh at he when them got home the stuff." From the OED: "As: replaced by that, but still common in southern dialect speech.

Even though the effort that it takes to pronounce a word does not have any direct influence on writing, a word or phrase may be spelled the same as it is spoken, for example, in poetry or in the script for a theatre play, in order to show the actual speech of a character. It may also be used in an attempt to transcribe non-standard speech. Some kinds of elisions (as well as other phonological devices) are commonly used in poetry in order to preserve a particular rhythm. In some languages employing the Latin alphabet, such as English, the omitted letters in a contraction are replaced by an apostrophe (e.g.

Crenshaw argues that failure to do this will continue to reinforce systems of oppression and violence that black women face. She writes, > "The failure of feminism to interrogate race means that the resistance > strategies of feminism will often replicate and reinforce the subordination > of people of color, and the failure of antiracism interrogate patriarchy > means that antiracism will frequently reproduce the subordination of > women.These mutual elisions present a particularly difficult political > dilemma for women of color. Adopting either analysis constitutes a denial of > a fundamental dimension of our subordination and precluded the development > of a political discourse that more fully empowers women of color".

He is author of three poetry collections: The Fossil Box (2007), concerned with the urgency of place and origins; Whiteout (2006), co-authored with Damian Walford Davies; and Wan-Hu's Flying Chair (2009), which won the 2010 Wales Book of the Year 'People's Choice' prize. In 2007, he won first prize in the tenth-anniversary Keats-Shelley Prize for Poetry. His poem, 'Elisions', was written on the competition theme of slavery. In 2010, together with Professor Reyer Zwiggelaar and Dr Bashar Rajoub of the Computer Science department at Aberystwyth University, Marggraf Turley conducted a 'Valentine's Day experiment' using thermal imaging cameras to determine whether reading love poetry produced distinct thermal signatures on the faces of volunteers.

Similarly, hit Broadway plays are often adapted into films, whether from musicals or dramas. Some examples of American film adaptations based on successful Broadway plays are Arsenic and Old Lace (1944), Born Yesterday (1950), Harvey (1950), A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), The Odd Couple (1968), The Boys in the Band (1970), Agnes of God (1985), Children of a Lesser God (1986), Glengarry Glen Ross (1992), Real Women Have Curves (2002), Rabbit Hole (2010), and Fences (2016). On one hand, theatrical adaptation does not involve as many interpolations or elisions as novel adaptation, but on the other, the demands of scenery and possibilities of motion frequently entail changes from one medium to the other. Film critics will often mention if an adapted play has a static camera or emulates a proscenium arch.

The proper recitation of the Quran is the subject of a separate discipline named tajwid which determines in detail how the Quran should be recited, how each individual syllable is to be pronounced, the need to pay attention to the places where there should be a pause, to elisions, where the pronunciation should be long or short, where letters should be sounded together and where they should be kept separate, etc. It may be said that this discipline studies the laws and methods of the proper recitation of the Quran and covers three main areas: the proper pronunciation of consonants and vowels (the articulation of the Quranic phonemes), the rules of pause in recitation and of resumption of recitation, and the musical and melodious features of recitation.Leaman, Oliver, ed. 2006. The Qur'an: an Encyclopedia.

Annwn has worked closely with celebrated American calligrapher, Thomas Ingmire. Titles include Tabula Gratulatoria, Out of the air, seismograph jitter, 1762011, Asters of Risk, errant inerrancies, Against the odds/St John's Fragment (2014) Going up to Sun Terrace, Shiva of Liquid Club, A pulse walks in, The Zorn Suite and Mary Shelley's Elisions.

The long drinking party scene was cut, as was part of a 30-second kiss between Tony and Carlotta that opened the film. Censors also cut a line of dialogue delivered by Louise Henry in response to Carlotta's declaration that the Marines had landed: "There'll be atrocities – I want to be first!" The film was never re-released, has never been released in any home video format and is rarely shown on television. Modern critical response has therefore been light, although Tom Milne of Time Out New York dubbed the film a "Delightful screwball parody of the detective thriller...Whale's use of elisions, non-sequiturs and unexpected stresses creates what is virtually a blueprint for the style developed by Robert Altman in and after MASH." The Los Angeles Times, reviewing the film for a 1999 retrospective of Whale's work, found it to be "an amusing trifle, tossed off with considerable wit and skill by Whale" and "pretty good fun if you’re in the mood for a chic, brittle period piece".
