pictures are still used in modern society in the road signs or the using instructions of the machines. In fact, this is an easy way for people to understand them. 2.1.3.

Limited writing refers directly to the object or idea portrayed. Pictograms or ideograms call to mind an image or concept that then may be expressed in language.

There may be sounds or characters on the page that cannot be verbalized or cannot convey the same message if pronounced and not read. Four of Cummings' poems "la," "mortals," "!blac," and "swi" illustrate the ideogram form quite well. Cummings utilizes unique syntax in these poems in
When writing, hieroglyphs are separated into three main groups: ideograms, phonograms, and determinatives.

Essay 1: Eisenstein and Dialectical Montage Soviet cinematographer Sergei Eisenstein argues that the basis of cinema is dialectical montage. In his article “A Dialectical Approach to Film Form”, Eisenstein explains dialectics as “a constant evolution from the interaction of two contradictory opposites” (45). These opposites synthesize and form a new thesis, which then may also be contradicted. Eisenstein employs dialectical montage in his films due to its ability to invoke change, an important goal

6 Language skills Being competent in a language requires having the four basic language skills : reading ; listening, speaking, and writing. Experts classify foreign language skills into two main categories : productive skills (speaking and writing) and receptive skill (reading and listening).
