Sociolinguistics: The implications of a sociological approach in examining the counseling relationshipSociolinguistique: Les insinuation d'une approche sociologique en examinant le rapport de conseil

This article discusses basic concepts of sociolinguistics and considers their relationship to the counseling process. Essentially, it suggests that interviewing be examined in the light of (1) language as a cultural phenomenon and (2) the interactions between individuals and society. When reconceptualized in this way, counseling can benefit from the systematic knowledge of a related field and counselors will be helped to communicate more competently.     

Crack stability of an adhesive layer

The stability of crack which is present in an adhesive layer is investigated. The adhesive layer bonds an elastic plate to a rigid base. A Wieghardt base is assumed as the model for the adhesive layer. The crack is loaded by internal pressure. An energy criterion and a critical load intensity criterion are used. Explicit results are given for a relatively rigid plate and for a relatively flexible plate and a comparison of the two criteria is discussed.
