Over half the population of the world eats a diet in which rice predominates and such a diet usually has a low mineral content. This is certainly true for the diets consumed by most of the people of Ceylon (Nicholls, 1936; Nicholls & Nimalasuriya, 1939; Bibile, Cullumbine, Watson & Wickramanayake, 1949; Cullumbine, ~gqga), and it is difficult to understand how these people can grow and maintain...

Attempts to relate the quality of diet to growth in British children are plagued by two persistent anomalies. In the first, workers have found no consistent relationship between individual intake and growth. The biggest eaters are not necessarily the biggest individuals. As Widdowson said in 1947, ‘the present study has been unable to bring to light the laws which relate the height, weight, siz...

A text, as distinct from a sentence, can be defined literal use of language. Text is the unit communication, and for piece language to it must produces communicative purpose. Every sentence in text loaded with tools such transferring information, conveying attitudes or feelings, presenting facts. Seven standards textuality which are cohesion coherence oriented acceptability, informativity, situ...

This paper begins by offering a definition of ‘task’ and by emphasizing that there is no single ‘task-based teaching’ approach. It then evaluates a number of criticisms of TBT, drawing on recent critiques by Widdowson, Seedhouse, Sheen, and Swan. It is argued that many of these criticisms stem from a fundamental misunderstanding of what a ‘task’ is, and of the theoretical rationales that inform...

Published analytical data on the chemical composition of the adult, human body are scant, and statistically inadequate. References to the earlier literature may be found in a previous communication from this laboratory (1) and in a more recent contribution by Widdowson, McCance, and Spray (2), which are the most complete reports available. An important application of such data relates to the va...

There are such great names in language studies as Noam Chomsky, Lev S. Vygotsky, Howard Gardener and Michael Halliday who are widely accredited with having introduced new concepts in linguistics and neighboring disciplines and to whom we remain deeply indebted. In this article which has been written on the occasion of Professor Henry Widdowson's visit in April 2018 to Azarbaijan Shahid Madani U...
