Understanding nouns is crucial for effective communication and storytelling. Nouns are words that give names to people, places, things, or ideas, making them the building blocks of sentences. They can be names for people, like "John" or "teacher," places like "Paris" or "school," things you can touch or see, such as "car" or "book," and even things you can't see, like "love" or "freedom." Nouns play a pivotal role in language as they bring clarity by specifying what we are talking about, for example, saying "The cat ran" instead of "The animal ran." They also enable description through the use of adjectives, helping create vivid mental images, as in "The big, fluffy cat ran." Nouns are vital for sparking imagination and storytelling, breathing life into characters, places, and things, making stories engaging and interesting. There are three main types of nouns: common nouns, which refer to general categories like "dog" or "cat"; proper nouns, which are specific names such as "Bella" or "Disneyland"; and abstract nouns, which represent intangible concepts like "love" or "happiness." In essence, nouns are like the foundation upon which sentences are built, working in harmony with other words like verbs and adjectives to convey meaning and enhance our understanding of the world around us.
A writer selects words and shapes them in the same way that an artist mixes particular hues of paint and applies them to a canvas using brush strokes. Writer’s effect is the powerful feeling that writers intend to inspire in their readers, through the use of special words or expressions or some unique patterns of writing. Writers commonly create effect through the use of the following techniques:
- Imagery
- Power/Powerful/Strong words
- Figurative language
- Miscellaneous methods (arrangement of letters and words, shapes of letters, etc.)

Sense and reference
Sense and reference, as we may simply say, are the two sides of a coin.
Reference (Denotation) is the person, the object, or anything that we are talking about and has a reference in the outside world.
Sense (Meaning) is related to the meaning, and the way the person or the object is referred to.
Activity
Identify the sense and reference of the word ‘unicorn’.
Literal vs. figurative meaning
The meaning that we draw ordinarily is called the literal meaning. The word ‘needle’ is literally defined as ‘a sharp instrument’. The non-literal meaning of ‘pain’ is not included in its dictionary definition. This is the connotative meaning that we get from ‘needle’. The denotation of the word refers (see reference in the previous slide) to the actual needle whereas the connotation, as one type of figurative meaning, is used for the sense (see sense in the previous slide).
Figurative meaning or figurative language is used for different purposes; e.g., for exaggeration, for analogy, and for metaphors, among other things. In literature it is often known as figure of speech.
Metaphors
The sentence ‘He is the apple of my eye’ – doesn’t refer to any kind of fruit; there is, of course, no real apple in a person's eye. The "apple" is someone beloved and held dear.
When we hear this statement, we interpret it metaphorically, that is, we go beyond the literal meaning.
Other examples:
a bubbly personality
feeling blue
a rollercoaster of emotions
it’s raining men
Since our daily use of language is full of metaphors, it is sometimes hard to draw a fine distinction between the literal and the metaphoric meaning. For this reason, some linguists prefer to consider them cognitively and not linguistically.
Activity
Think of 3 metaphors in English (or another language) and discuss
Metonymy
Metonymy is another kind of figure of speech which connotes habituality or association.
e.g.
‘The pen is mightier than the sword’
What about these?
The Crown
The White House
Dish
Ears
A hand

The semantics of homophony=homonymy
Homonyms:
When two words have the same spelling and pronunciation, but different meanings
I went to the bank (by the river or to withdraw some cash?).
This is an interesting case
Activity
Provide 2 homonyms.
(If the spelling is different but the sound is the same, e.g sea and see, they are homophones)
The semantics of polysemy
Polysemy (adj polysemous):
When a word has several meanings, such as the word ‘run’.
Compare:
He runs.
The paint runs.
The engine runs.
He has a runny nose.
The grass runs for a mile.
He runs this business.
The semantics of hyponymy
The word ‘gum’ or ‘gum tree’ is one kind of tree. The general word ‘tree’ is superordinate or hyponymous to the word ‘gum tree’.

This document provides a comprehensive list of adjective synonyms to help expand one's vocabulary when writing or communicating. It offers synonyms for common adjectives like beautiful, happy, sad, smart, big, small, angry, and interesting. Using synonyms for adjectives can add more depth, richness and strength to one's language by helping to better convey emotions, intellectual abilities, scales, and states.
Semantics is the study of meanings of words, phrases and sentences. It involves analyzing conceptual meanings, which are the basic components of a word's meaning, and associative meanings, which are connotations attached to a word. Semantics also examines how words fulfill roles like agent, theme, and experiencer within sentences, and lexical relations between words such as synonyms, antonyms, and polysemy.
Vocabulary in Context teaches students how to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words based on context clues in the surrounding text. There are four main types of context clues: rewording, synonyms, antonyms, and details. Rewording clues directly restate the word's meaning, synonyms provide words with similar meanings, antonyms give words with opposite meanings, and details provide explanations or examples. Students should analyze sentences for these clue types to uncover a word's definition without prior knowledge of its meaning. Practice examples are provided for students to identify context clue types and define sample words. Tutoring help is available for students needing additional support with vocabulary in context skills.

The 'Aha' Moment: How Great Designs Play With Our Psychology?Logo Design Guru
We, as humans, respond differently to different elements of design. Different colors, shapes, typefaces – all create an interaction of association that is individual. Thus, a skilled designer is one who can employ each of these elements effectively, playing into the psychology of it’s viewers, and infer particular characteristics of a brand, to the target audience.
This document introduces context clues, which help readers figure out the meaning of unfamiliar words. It discusses four main types of context clues: definition/synonym clues, contrast/antonym clues, example clues, and general sense of the sentence clues. Authors provide these clues surrounding unfamiliar words to help readers understand the meaning without having to look words up. The document uses examples from cartoons and sentences to demonstrate how each type of context clue works and exercises for readers to practice identifying context clues.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in English grammar including parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives), word classes (countable vs. uncountable nouns), morphology (morphemes), syntax, spoken vs. written grammar, problems with grammar rules, vocabulary, meaning, and the sounds of language. It discusses topics such as stress, intonation, individual sounds, and paralinguistic features of language including gestures, facial expressions, and proximity. The document is from Uludag University's English Language Teaching Department and focuses on explaining foundational elements of grammar.
This document introduces and defines seven common figures of speech: imagery, simile, metaphor, alliteration, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, and personification. It provides examples for each figure of speech and explains how they enhance writing by presenting ordinary things in new ways and communicating ideas beyond literal meanings. The objectives are to recognize and identify these figures of speech in poems.
How to teach (Jeremy Harmer) Describing language فرهنگیان
The document discusses the key elements of language that determine a statement's meaning, including context, grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. It provides examples of how changing these elements can alter a statement's implications. For instance, the sentence "It's warm in here" could be a request to open a window, an expression of satisfaction, or a suggestion to find elsewhere, depending on the surrounding context. Overall, the document examines how language users skillfully manipulate different linguistic components to convey precise meanings.
This document discusses various types of imagery and figures of speech used in writing. It begins by defining imagery as descriptive language that creates sensory experiences for the reader. Five types of imagery are described: visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, and tactile. Examples are provided for each. The document then discusses various figures of speech such as simile, metaphor, personification, and others. Figures of speech are defined as creative language that departs from ordinary expressions. Examples are used to illustrate different figures of speech.
This document discusses figures of speech and provides examples of metonymy and metaphor. Metonymy is when one element is substituted for another related element, such as referring to people in "suits" being at a meeting. Metaphor is an implied comparison without using words like "like" or "as", comparing two unlike things such as describing someone as "a walking dictionary". Examples of both figures of speech are given, such as "the pen is mightier than the sword" being an example of metonymy and "he is the Hitler of our school" being an example of metaphor.
There are five types of imagery that appeal to the different senses: visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, and tactile. Imagery creates vivid descriptions that help readers visualize scenes. Authors use imagery for various purposes like setting mood, aiding the imagination, or beautifying literature.
Diction refers to word choice and there are different levels and styles of diction. Formal diction uses sophisticated language while informal diction is more conversational. Abstract diction describes intangible ideas while concrete diction provides specific details. Diction also has denotation versus connotation and is shaped by factors like subject, purpose, audience, and occasion. Effective diction uses precise language to clearly convey meaning and establish tone.
The document discusses the SOAPSTone framework for analyzing speeches and texts. It defines each element of SOAPSTone: Speaker, Occasion, Audience, Purpose, Subject, and Tone. It then focuses on Tone, explaining that tone is established through an author's use of figurative language, imagery, diction, details, and syntax.
Literary devices introduction to theme mood and toneGuerillateacher
Mood refers to the general feeling or atmosphere that is conveyed to the reader. It is created through various literary elements like setting, imagery, diction, and tone. The mood produces an emotional response in the audience and influences their understanding of the work. It is an intangible presence that is crucial to meaning. The author must carefully craft mood through their stylistic choices or the work will become confusing. Mood is closely tied to theme, with each reinforcing the message of the other.

5. The world of adjectives is diverse! Descriptive adjectives, like
"big" and "happy," paint a vivid picture. Proper adjectives,
formed from proper nouns, add a touch of specificity.
Demonstrative adjectives, like "this" and "that," help us point
things out. And inquisitive interrogative adjectives, like
"what" and "which," fuel our questions.
6. Adjectives typically come before the noun they describe
(e.g., the red ball)
They can also follow a linking verb to describe the subject
(e.g., The dog is happy.)
Where do
Adjectives Go?
Adjectives have their favorite spots in a sentence. Most often, they
cuddle up right before the noun they describe, like a "red" ball. But
sometimes, they team up with linking verbs like "is," "seems," or
"feels" to modify the subject of the sentence, telling us how
something is.

ADJECTIVES

Adjectives make writing and
speaking more interesting and
engaging.
They create vivid imagery and
help readers visualize the
scene.
They add nuance and
emotion to our
communication.
Adjectives are the secret
sauce of language! They
transform bland sentences
into captivating descriptions.
With a sprinkle of "happy"
and a dash of "exciting,"
adjectives bring stories to life.
They not only help us
understand the world around
us but also evoke emotions
and create a deeper
connection with our
audience.
