Deixis is a technical term (from Greek) for one of the most basic things we do with utterances (Yule, 1996, p. 9). It means âpointing viaâ language. Any linguistic form used to accomplish this âpointingâ is called a deictic expression. Deictic expressions are also sometimes called indexical.

Some common writing mistakes Try to avoid the following .docxwhitneyleman54422
Â
Some common writing mistakes
Try to avoid the following:
1.) Vague statements
Bad: âBhutan faces a number of economic problems, but they are trying to fix them.â
Better: âAccording to the CIA World Factbook, the scarcity of modern infrastructure and technology has
limited economic growth in Bhutan. However, its government has invested heavily in hydropower plants in
order to export energy, and this has created new jobs and investment in the country recently.â
2.) Erroneous claims about causality
Bad: âBirth rates in Germany are lower than the world average, which means it has one of the worldâs most
developed economies.â
Better: âLike most of the worldâs wealthy countries, Germany has birthrates that are lower than the world
average.
3.) Non sequitur
Bad: âCameroon has a high birthrate, but its climate varies significantly as one moves from one end of the
country to the other.â
Better: talk about separate issues separately, unless you have documented evidence that they are somehow
related
4.) Overgeneralizations
Bad: âEveryone in India is poor.â
Better: âAccording to the Population Reference Bureau, Indiaâs gross national income per capita is $3840,
which is well below the world average of $11,690.â
5.) Redundancy
Bad: âA rapidly increasing population puts a strain on the Nigerian governmentâs ability to accommodate all
citizens. The Nigerian government therefore has a hard time providing adequate social services to its rapidly
growing population.â
Better: if you notice that you have two sentences back-to-back that say the same thing, just use one and cut the
other
6.) Over use of direct quoting
Bad: blocs of text are copied and pasted into your paper more than twice
Better: you paraphrase as much as possible, and limit your direct quoting to one or two pieces of text
7.) Irrational optimism:
Bad: âChile produces some of the worldâs best wine. Therefore, Chile is sure to become one of the worldâs top
economies by 2015.â
Better: âWine is one of Chileâs most significant industries, and will likely continue to generate income and
employment opportunities for the foreseeable future.â
8.) Unwarranted pessimism:
Bad: âBecause of the violence in Egypt over the last few years, life for Egyptians will always be very difficult.â
Better: âDaily life for many Egyptians has been difficult over the last few years, as life an in country
undergoing a revolution would be. It is unclear at this point whether or not things will change for the better
or for the worse there.â

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Â
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Francesca Gottschalk from the OECDâs Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
2. Introduction
Reference words are used to:
⢠refer back to people, objects and ideas that
have been mentioned earlier, or
⢠refer forward to people, objects and ideas that
will be mentioned later.
These words allow the writer to avoid
repeating words, paragraphs, and sometimes
whole sentences.
3. Introduction
Reference words include:
⢠it/they/them
⢠this/that
⢠these/those
⢠the former/the latter/respectively
⢠who/which/that
⢠one/ones
⢠such
4. It/they/them
âItâ, âtheyâ and âthemâ are used to replace subjects
or ideas that have been mentioned previously.
Relocating the research facility to Osaka
would seem sensible. It would save the company a
considerable amount of money each year.
5. It/they/them
Bavaria is an attractive region in which to live.
It has mountains and lakes, and is close to the
ski resorts in Germany and Austria.
6. It/they/them
We have received large numbers of reports
about the economic outlook in Japan. We are
studying them carefully. They contain useful
marketing information.
7. This/that/these/those
âThisâ and âtheseâ are used to refer to objects or
ideas that are near in place or time. For example,
âthis/these proposal(s)â mean(s) the one(s) just
made or about to be made.
âThatâ and âthoseâ are used to refer to objects or
ideas that are more remote in place or time.
8. This/that/these/those
At our recent meeting, you suggested we
establish a joint venture in Japan.
This seems to be an attractive proposal,
and I should like to discuss it with you
further.
9. This/that/these/those
Thank you for sending me some samples of
your products. These are being inspected by
our engineers and we expect to make a purchase
order in the near future.
10. This/that/these/those
The Prime minister was accused in the press of
wishing to increase taxation. That is not the
policy of the government, however, and the
press reports are incorrect.
12. The former/the latter
When you have written about two subjects or two
ideas, you may then wish to refer to them again in
the next sentence. If you write âitâ or âheâ, the reader
may not understand which of the two you are
referring to.
13. The former/the latter
You can use:
⢠âthe formerâ which refers to the first mentioned of
two items
⢠âthe latterâ which refers to the second mentioned of
two items
⢠ârespectivelyâ which refers to each of the items in
the order in which they were written, the former, then
the latter
14. The former/the latter
Last week , we experienced production problems
at our plants in Leeds and London. At the
former, there was a two-day strike by the
workers. At the latter, there was a machine
breakdown. Output, as a percentage of normal
capacity at these factories was 60% and 75%
respectively.
15. The former/the latter
We will be visited on Tuesday 12 March by
Mr Laclos and Mr Ibsen. The former is
Managing Director of our operation in
France and Italy.
16. The former/the latter
Our new 6 series and 8 series models sell for
60,000 US dollars and 100,000 US dollars
respectively.
17. Who/which/that
âWhoâ refers only to people. âWhichâ refers to things
or ideas. âThatâ refers to people, things or ideas,
and can be used instead of who and which.
22. Who/which/that
The computers, all of which have been upgraded,
will be in use from the beginning of next month.
The goods, some of which have been dispatched
already, should all have arrived by next Friday.
The prices, none of which has been changed, are
listed in the brochure.
32. Such
In recent months, we have experienced many
problems with hardware. Such problems are
not easy to solve and we have had to ask for
technical assistance.
