Comunication Theory Identity

CTI has 10 common axiomatic propositions (for more information

on these propositions and extension to each of the frames, see Hecht et al., 2004). The basic overarching propositions further define identity and are:

 1. Identities have individual, social, and communal properties.

 2. Identities are both enduring and changing.

 3. Identities are affective, cognitive, behavioral, and spiritual.

 4. Identities have both content and relationship levels of interpretation.

 5. Identities involve both subjective and ascribed meaning.

 6. Identities are codes that are expressed in conversations and 

define membership in communities.   

7. Identities have semantic properties that are expressed in core symbols, meanings, and labels.

 8. Identities prescribe modes of appropriate and effective communication. 

 9. Identities are a source of expectations and motivations. 10. Identities are emergent. 

Trough this video we can understand a little bit more about if  bilingual minds are better or not, obviously taking into account the most recient reseacrh done by Aneta Pavlenko (2006) where we can discover a new perspective about multilingualism and emotions. Pavlenko identifies four main themes: linguistic and cultural differences, distinct learning contexts, different emotional responses to the languages and different levels of proficiency. Because learning new languages people tend to involve different emotions, and brain connections.

WHO AM I?

I am a simple person, very shy but with some expectatives about another people.  I can be funny some time and I  am usually excelent friend and good classmate.

I consider a homely girl. My best friend that I am kindness, solidarity, honest and naive.

Often, I am weak and a lonely person. However when I learn something new topic and my accademic performance is good, I feel very enthusiastic.
