This document provides a list and definitions of English indefinite pronouns. It includes tables categorizing indefinite pronouns by type (negative, universal, assertive existential, elective existential, other), thing or person, number (singular, plural, singular or plural), and quantifier pronouns (uncountable, countable singular, countable plural). It also notes that indefinite pronouns can function as other parts of speech and that some can be singular or plural depending on context.
Use of Be Verbs
Be verbs such as am, is, are are used to express a state of being. Am is used for the pronoun I, is is used for singular nouns and pronouns, and are is used for plural nouns and pronouns. The most common uses of be verbs are to talk about names, age, feelings, place and professions. Examples are provided to demonstrate the correct usage of am, is, and are based on whether the subject is singular or plural.
Run On fragment
This document discusses run-on sentences and sentence fragments, providing examples and methods for correcting them. It explains that there are two types of clauses - independent clauses, which can stand alone as complete sentences, and dependent clauses, which need to be attached to independent clauses. Sentence fragments lack an independent clause, while run-on sentences incorrectly join two independent clauses without proper punctuation or conjunction. The document offers techniques for fixing fragments, such as adding an independent clause, and for fixing run-on sentences by using punctuation like commas or semi-colons or conjunctions to join the clauses correctly.

Phonetics is the study of the sounds of human language. The International Phonetic Alphabet represents each sound with a symbol and is used to transcribe languages. Sounds are categorized as vowels, consonants, syllabic, voiced, voiceless, oral or nasal. Consonants occur at different places of articulation including bilabial, labiodental, dental, alveolar, alveopalatal, palatal, velar, uvular and glottal. They also have different manners of articulation such as stops, fricatives and affricatives. Vowels are described by tongue position, tension and lip rounding. Diphthongs and prosodic features like stress, pitch and
Verb agreement after certain words
This document provides examples of words in English that always take a singular verb when functioning as the subject, such as anybody, everybody, nobody, somebody, each, anyone, everyone, no one, someone, anything, everything, nothing, and something. It notes that the verb must be in the singular form ending in "s" to agree with these singular subjects. Two examples are given demonstrating incorrect plural verbs and the corrections to singular verbs to show the proper subject-verb agreement. The document emphasizes to always check sentences with these words to ensure the connected verb is in the correct singular form.

Unit Thirteen - Present Subjunctive
This document provides an overview of the subjunctive mood in Latin. It discusses the difference between the indicative and subjunctive moods, how the subjunctive is used in Latin compared to English, the four tenses of the Latin subjunctive, formation of the present subjunctive, common uses including purpose clauses, and the concept of sequence of tenses which determines the subjunctive verb form based on the tense and completeness of the main verb's action. Examples are provided to illustrate uses of the present subjunctive and how to determine the proper subjunctive form based on the sequence of tenses.
Homonyms
Homonyms are words that are identical in sound or spelling but different in meaning. There are three main types of homonyms: homophones which sound the same but have different spellings and meanings, homographs which are spelled the same but have different pronunciations and meanings, and heteronyms which are homographs that are also not homophones. Homonyms can arise through convergent sound changes over time where words that were once pronounced differently develop identical pronunciations, or through divergent semantic development where the meanings of words split far apart over time. Synonyms are words of the same language and part of speech that have similar or identical core meanings, while antonyms are words of the same language and part of speech that

Loser of everything
The document discusses grammatical tense, specifically:
- Tense locates a situation in time by indicating when it takes place (e.g. past, present, future).
- Languages make finer distinctions like immediate vs. distant past. These distinctions are not always precise.
- Tense indicates when the time of assertion, completion or evaluation occurs relative to the utterance (absolute tense) or some other event (relative tense).
- The number of tenses in a language may be disputed, as tense is often used to represent combinations of tense, aspect and mood.

Deixis refers to words and phrases whose meaning depends on the context of the utterance. There are three main types of deixis: person deixis refers to pronouns like "I" and "you"; spatial deixis indicates locations like "here" and "there"; and temporal deixis refers to times like "now" and "then". Deixis allows speakers to indicate people, places, and times from their own perspective through the use of proximal terms that are near the speaker spatially or temporally, and distal terms that are farther away. Understanding deixis requires understanding not just the literal meaning of words but how their meaning shifts based on who is speaking, where, when, and other contextual factors.
Deixis
(1) Deixis refers to the use of words or expressions whose meanings depend on the context of the utterance, such as who is speaking, their location in space and time, gestures, or the topic of discussion. Common deictic expressions include pronouns, demonstratives, temporal adverbs, and articles.
(2) Deixis is important in pragmatics and conversation analysis because it concerns how the structure of language relates to the context in which it is used. Deictic expressions point to elements either in the immediate physical context ("proximal") or not ("distal").

It defines deixis and provides examples of different types of deictic expressions, including personal pronouns, spatial/temporal adverbs, and demonstratives. The document also discusses concepts like proximal/distal deixis based on distance from the speaker, indexicals that symbolically point to states of affairs, and how deixis relies on context for interpretation of utterances. It provides examples demonstrating how deixis works and does not work without context.

anaphora and deixis
Pragmatics studies how meaning depends not just on linguistic knowledge but also on context. Anaphora refers to expressions that refer to something mentioned earlier in the text, while deixis refers to context-dependent expressions like person, place, and time references. Some expressions can be both anaphoric and deictic depending on what they refer to - if it's something mentioned before, it's anaphoric, but if it locates something in the context, it's deictic. The key difference is that anaphora relies on prior mentions while deixis relies on contextual information.
Presentation on deixis and distance
Deixis refers to linguistic expressions that depend on context for their interpretation. There are three main types of deixis: person deixis refers to pronouns like I, you, he; spatial deixis refers to spatial relationships like here and there; and temporal deixis refers to temporal relationships like now and then. Deixis is important in linguistics because it shows how language relies on and reflects the context in which it is used. Grammatical structures like direct and indirect speech demonstrate the difference between proximal and distal deixis.

Deixis refers to linguistic expressions that depend on context for their interpretation. There are three main types of deixis: person deixis refers to pronouns like I, you, he; spatial deixis refers to spatial relationships like here and there; and temporal deixis refers to temporal relationships like now and then. Deixis is important in pragmatics and grammar. In English grammar, the basic distinctions in deixis can be seen between direct and indirect speech, where proximal deictic terms like here and now are used for direct speech and distal terms like there and then are used for indirect speech.

This document discusses different ways that new words can be created, including through acronyms, blending, and derivation. It notes that true coinages are rare and that new words must conform to a language's phonological and morphological rules. Acronyms are formed from the initial letters of words and can become lexicalized over time, such as HIV and laser. Backronyms are created by retrofitting an acronym's letters to real words. While word creation happens, most new words are formed based on existing linguistic elements in a language.
Deixis and distance
This document provides an outline of the key topics in deixis, including: person deixis which refers to the speaker, addressee, and others; spatial deixis which indicates locations using terms like here and there; temporal deixis which refers to time using expressions like now and then. It discusses concepts like proximal and distal forms, deictic projection, psychological distance, and how deixis relates to grammar and shifts between direct and indirect speech. Deixis involves linguistic elements that point to aspects of the context of an utterance, including who is speaking, their location, and time.
