FORUM

On Monday, attended a forum that took place in the area of Perozo, in that forum addressed several issues in which we can highlight the book, reading and language of the twenty-first century, highlighting the week's book was mentioned pioneers this world event, as were Miguel de Cervantes, William Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega also said that writing gave invention 500 years ago by symbols and pictographs but 200 years later was that the socialization of achievement writing.

Among the other topics discussed this child development in language acquisition, which explained that the language is a biological gift with which human beings are born. But children adopting the language through imitation where several words associated with situations, objects or actions. "Language is something specific and this predisposed to buy it "

Noam Chomsky

The last issue we saw was that "To err is Human" by Lic. Lidia Govea

This topic was of great significance since it was put "mistake by Neglect"

(Miscues) (Goodman & Goodman.)

It was said that mistakes are mistakes + unexpected responses from cognitive structures, conceptual or linguistic reader.

Mistake by neglect and understanding what is said in reading aloud is not what the eye sees, if not what the brain generates to be said.

It contrasted the concepts of understandings. (Alderson 1982)

The reader and his invention grammar

(Goodman & Goodman, Watson)

The reader processes the information according to the syntactical and semantic.

Reading the same as listening comprehension is in language processing and in the formation of meanings.

Drawings and wrong (Alderson 1982)

The point was made that a scheme is a cognitive structure consists of ideas, emotions and actions that have been used by the individual.

Assimilation (Goodman & Goodman)

• Development process of establishing schemes linguistic and conceptual

• implementation of learning.

Accommodation of the schemes: using the schemes to produce or understand language.

Lic. Govea emphasise the importance of silent reading, argued that this tends to be most effective, while reading aloud is producing problems in the joints.

In both the pedagogical implications of mistakes inadvertently mentioned:

• Reflecting the use of language schemes conceptual

• We should make extensive reading in the classroom

(The Internet has become the resource that gives students access to reading too ...)

Types Of Pronouns

Types of Pronouns:
Common types of pronouns found in the world's languages are as follows.
Personal pronouns stand in place of the names of people or things:

Subjective pronouns are used when the person or thing is the subject of the sentence or clause. English example: I like to eat chips but she doesn't.

Second person formal and informal pronouns (T-V distinction).
For example, vous and tu in French. There is no distinction in modern English, though Elizabethan English marked the distinction with "thou" (singular informal) and "you" (plural or singular formal).

Inclusive and exclusive "we" pronouns indicate whether or not the audience is included. There is no distinction in English.

Intensive pronouns re-emphasize a noun or pronoun that has already been mentioned. English uses the same forms as for the reflexive pronouns; for example: I did it myself (contrast reflexive use I did it to myself).

Objective pronouns are used when the person or thing is the object of the sentence or clause. English example: John likes me but not her.

Direct and indirect object pronouns. English uses the same forms for both; for example: Mary loves him (direct object); Mary sent him a letter (indirect object).

Reciprocal pronouns refer to a reciprocal relationship. English example: They don't like each other.
Prepositional pronouns come after a preposition. No distinct forms exist in English; for example: Mary looked at him.

Indefinite pronouns refer to general categories of people or things. English example: Anyone can do that.
Distributive pronouns are used to refer to members of a group separately, rather than collectively. English example: To each his own.

Negative pronouns indicate the non-existence of people or things. English example: Nobody thinks that.

Relative pronouns refer back to people or things previously mentioned. English example: People who smoke should quit now.

Indefinite relative pronouns have some of the properties of both relative pronouns and indefinite pronouns. They have a sense of "referring back", but the person or thing to which they refer has not previously been explicitly named. English example: I know what I like.

Disjunctive pronouns are used in isolation, or in certain other special grammatical contexts. No distinct forms exist in English; for example: Whom does this belong to? Me.

Dummy pronouns are used when grammatical rules require a noun (or pronoun), but none is semantically required. English example: It is raining.

Possessive pronouns are used to indicate possession or ownership.

In strict sense, the personal pronouns are only those that act syntactically as nouns. English example: Those clothes are mine.

Often, though, the term "possessive pronoun" is also applied to the so-called possessive adjectives (or possessive determiners). For example, in English: I lost my wallet. They are not strictly speaking pronouns because they do not substitute for a noun or noun phrase, and as such some grammarians classify these terms in a separate lexical category called determiners (they have a syntactic role close to that of adjectives, always qualifying a noun).

Demonstrative Pronouns
Demonstrative pronouns stand in for a person, place or thing that must be pointed to. They may function as subjects, objects or objects of the preposition
When referring to a singular place, thing or idea use these demonstrative pronouns:
(Singular demonstrative pronoun)

This, That
As a subject:

This has been a difficult decade for the U.S. Presidency.
That is whom you should meet at the dinner at the Corcoran Gallery.

As a direct object:
Would you deliver this?
The demands on the President's time had knocked that off the schedule.

As an object of the preposition:
Does the shirt you bough go with this?

Steve will put the a new coat of paint on that if necessary.

When referring to a plural place, thing or idea use these demonstrative pronouns:
(Plural demonstrative pronoun)

These, Those

As a subject:
These are the preferred pens in this department.

Those attempting to purchase handguns must wait seven days.
As a direct object:

Will Alan find these in time?

Beth donated those to the team.

As an object of the preposition:
Please climb over these before you continue the course.
Chris can work with those.

BEWARE: Remember just like other pronouns, a demonstrative pronoun stands in for a noun. The same words that act as demonstrative pronouns may act as adjectives when they are used to modify a noun rather than stand in for it.

For example:
THIS

Demonstrative pronoun:
This will lead us to the car.

Adjective
This path is taking us in the wrong direction.

THAT
Demonstrative pronoun:
That is not the best approach.

Adjective
That approach will not work.

THOSE
Demonstrative pronoun:
Those will work just fine.
Adjective
Those plants were damaged by the frost.

THESE
Demonstrative pronoun:
These look edible.
Adjective
These berries are delicious.

Interrogative Pronouns
Interrogative pronouns are aptly named. They basically stand in for the answer to the question being asked. When they are not acting as interrogative pronouns, some may act as relative pronouns. Once again, it depends on their function in the sentence.
Interrogative pronoun are always found in questions:
(Interrogative pronoun)--
Who, Whom, Which, What, Whose

Remember:
Who = Subject

Whom = Object
In these examples, the interrogative pronoun stands in for the answer to the question.
Who saw the future clearly? Who embraced it?
Whom did she choose from the Carter White House?
Which would you prefer from your president?
What was his most impressive example of presidential leadership?
Whose are you going to choose for the exhibit?
In these examples, the same words are relative pronoun.
The man whom she chose will do a wonderful job.
The Grand Canyon, which is remarkable, is Eldon's favorite place to visit.
Our guy next door, who is on trial, never did fit into the neighborhood.
In these examples, the same words are personal pronoun.
You will need to decide which is the best product.
Frank will decide whom the animals will work with.
We all decided who will lead the parade.
Reflexive Pronouns
Reflexive pronouns "reflect" the person to whom the pronoun refers.
They are the "self"ish pronouns. With that said, it is easiest to identify them by remembering that they are the pronouns that end with "self" or "selves."
Reflexive pronouns always act as OBJECTS not subjects, and they require an interaction between the subject or subject(s) and an object. They are typically indirect objects, direct objects and appositives.
Because she was not hungry when the cake was served, Ellen saved herself a piece.
In the independent clause, ELLEN is the subject and HERSELF is a reflexive pronoun acting as the indirect object. This sentence is grammatically correct.
· Wilson and myself are going to the movie.
In this sentence, WILSON and MYSELF are the subjects.

REFLEXIVE pronouns cannot be subjects. This sentence is grammatically incorrect.
Care must be taken to identify whether the noun is singular or plural and choose the pronoun accordingly.
Always singular
myself, himself, herself, yourself, itself
Adding to the confusion were the politics and sheer tenacity of the man himself.
Nor is she shy about giving herself credit for it.
"I like to describe myself as the first post-Cold War President," Clinton said.
Always plural
ourselves, themselves, yourselves
We gave ourselves a second chance to complete the course.
· Did they lock themselves out of the house again?
· Give yourselves a pat on the back for a job well done.

Pronoun

What is a Pronoun?

A pronoun can replace a noun or another pronoun. You use pronouns like "he," "which," "none," and "you" to make your sentence less cumbersome and less repetitive.
Grammarians classify pronouns into several types, including the personal pronoun, the demonstrative pronoun, the interrogative pronoun, the indefinite pronoun, the relative pronoun, the reflexive pronoun, and the intensive pronoun.
