The Portuguese and the Spanish urban systems have developed with their backs to each other as the result of the different historical development of the two nation-states of the Iberian Peninsula. Since 1986, the date of Spain and Portugal’s integration into the European Com-munity, both countries have witnessed the blurring of their common border and the subse-quent appearance and consolidation of several Spanish-Portuguese axes of urban develop-ment. The most important of them all: the Atlantic Axis (A Coruña-Vigo-Porto) will be the subject matter of this paper.

This brief review of the second1 and third2 census bulletins from the 1961 census of Pakistan is second in a series3 of review articles by the Demographic Section of the Institute of Development Economics on the census publications. This review is really a supplement to the first in so far as the second and third bulletins are, by and large, final confirmations of the first bulletin, though the third bulletin also provides a long series of detailed figures for small areas. The second census bulletin gives the final results of some of the information collected during the 1961 census, the provisional summaries of which were published in the first bulletin. It, however, does not reproduce the literacy, houses and household data and some of the urban information from the first bulletin. Instead, it provides some additional information on population by rural-urban and religious classifications. Besides, the second release contains statistical notes on (a) growth of population, (b) rural and urban growth of population, and (c) religion. These differences between the two successive census bulletins are important and the additional information returned will form the subject matter of discussion in this article.

<p>"Coloured Views" is a comparative and multidisciplinary examination of the motives and methods of New Zealand's urban boosters between 1880 and 1930. It looks at the positive image of the country's cities and towns rendered in the literature and art of the period, and compares it with other British Dominions as well as with America. Such optimistic images were considered vital to urban growth by promoters who were intent on inducing increased immigration, tourism and investment to their cities and towns. In addition to economic motivation, it will also be argued that the boosters in New Zealand were imbued to an unusual degree by dreams of creating an urban utopia in their New World, one that was free from the influences of vices typically associated with the Old World. In examining perceptions of urban New Zealand, this thesis also attempts to revert the imbalance in New Zealand historiography which has generally ignored cities and towns or which has assumed that all debate about them was negative. It undertakes a study of a wide array of promotional sources, including material which has never before been examined, such as motion pictures and foreign language texts. "Coloured Views" attempts to show that cities and towns had their ardent defenders in New Zealand as well as their critics. The study concludes with an examination of modern booster techniques in order to emphasise the topicality of the subject matter.</p>

The opposite meaning relation found in words is naturally also encountered in idiom units formed by the combination of words. Like antonyms, phraseological antonyms also add more value to the described situations and actions and provide a lively and colorful transfer of style and emotion. Although there are different opinions, including narrow and broad approaches, to identify phraseological antonyms, the most basic criterion is the contradiction between the meanings in the study of antonyms. Despite being partly appropriate in composition, the most distinctive groups of antonyms are language units that have elements creating opposition in terms of meaning. Idioms can create both a complete contrast between themselves and a weak or partial contrast. It is more appropriate to accept the same structural order and lexical harmony as additional features. Although researches on phraseological antonyms in Russian linguistics began in the 1960s, no research on the subject matter has been found in our country’s linguistics Therefore, in our study, it is aimed to mention and exemplify the concept of phraseological antonyms and determination methods based on Russian materials. Semantic, morphological and descriptive research methods were used in our study. In the first part of this article, information is given about the historical development of phraseological antonyms research. In the second part, the concept of phraseological antonyms is explained and the determination methods of such idioms are mentioned. Keywords: phraseological antonyms, Russian language, phraseological enantiosemy, phraseology, antonyms

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.

This article is aimed to examine the extent of the application of Islamic legal objectives by Sheikh Abdullah bn Fudi in his rejoinder against one of their contemporary scholars who accused them of being over-liberal about the religion. He claimed that there has been a careless intermingling of men and women in the preaching and counselling gathering they used to hold, under the leadership of Sheikh Uthman bn Fudi (the Islamic reformer of the nineteenth century in Nigeria and West Africa). Thus, in this study, the researchers seek to answer the following interrogations: who was Abdullah bn Fudi? who was their critic? what was the subject matter of the criticism? How did the rebutter get equipped with some guidelines of higher objectives of Sharĩʻah in his rejoinder to the critic? To this end, this study had tackled the questions afore-stated by using inductive, descriptive and analytical methods to identify the personalities involved, define and analyze some concepts and matters considered as the hub of the study.
