This document provides an overview and objectives for a lesson on ambiguity and theme in the short story "The Lady, or the Tiger?" by Frank Stockton. Students will examine ambiguity and identify themes through completing guided notes and a KWL chart. They will learn that ambiguity leaves a text open to multiple interpretations, while theme is the central idea or opinion conveyed. A video and class discussion are used to identify common themes in literature. Students then make predictions about the short story before filling out the "L" section of the KWL chart to summarize what they have learned.

Module 7: The Case for Storytelling
Storytelling is a powerful tool for persuasion in the legal system. It allows lawyers to (1) address jurors who come from varied backgrounds and perspectives with a single narrative framework, (2) help jurors make sense of complex evidence presented out of order by suggesting an organizing story, and (3) humanize clients to jurors to gain empathy and avoid judgment based solely on the facts of the alleged crime. Effective legal storytelling requires tapping into jurors' natural instinct to understand information narratively.

Tips for writing a great short story
Kurt Vonnegut provides tips for writing a great short story, including to start as close to the end as possible, give readers as much information as possible as soon as possible, and to make awful things happen to characters so readers can see what they are made of. Short stories should have an introduction of setting and characters (exposition), an event that introduces conflict (complication), a decisive moment for the protagonist (crisis), the highest point of conflict and action (climax), and a resolution of the conflict.

Reading and Writing activities
Narrative Writing
Narrative writing tells a story through specific elements like plot, characters, setting, and style. Plot involves an exposition, conflict, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Characters include protagonists, antagonists, round and flat characters. Setting establishes the time and place. Style uses figurative language, imagery, point of view, and other techniques to make each author's work unique. A theme conveys a message or moral.
Writing a Short Story: Scenes and Dialogue
The document discusses scenes and dialogue in storytelling. It defines a scene as an event involving compelling characters undertaking meaningful actions that feels real-time. Scenes should include complex characters, a point of view, advancing plot/character development through action and dialogue. Scenes have a beginning, middle, end structure and can start through character launches, action launches, or narrative launches. Scene middles introduce complications while endings reveal character or leave a cliffhanger. Dialogue should be written to show characters' emotions and advance the story.
CREATIVE WRITING: Plot
The document discusses plot structure in fiction. It defines plot as the events and conflict in a narrative. Good stories have a character with a desire, and dangers that prevent them from fulfilling that desire, creating drama. A character's journey through a story involves a setup, rising action towards a climax, and resolution. The character should transform by the end as a result of the choices they make. Complex stories don't have simple outcomes and a character may achieve their desire but lose something else. Causality and how earlier events impact later ones is important for plot development.
Collocation and ambiguity(2)
Collocation refers to words that commonly and acceptably occur together. It is the regular way in which words are used together, such as which prepositions are used with verbs or which verbs and nouns are frequently paired. There are several types of collocations including subject noun + verb, verb + object noun, adjective + noun, and adverb + past participle. Ambiguity occurs when a word, phrase, or sentence can be understood in more than one way, either due to multiple meanings of a single word (lexical ambiguity) or unclear grammatical constructions (grammatical ambiguity).

Ambiguity measures in requirements engineering
Software engineering involves numerous activities in which non-ambiguous artificial languages may be used. This is not always possible, however, and requirements analysis is by nature more closely connected to the use of natural language. An essential characteristic of natural language is ambiguity, understood as the possibility to interpret words or phrases in different ways. For documents used in software development, and particularly in the specification of requirements, the presence of diverse interpretations constitutes a serious problem. This can have negative effects on the entire software development process and even result in failure of the project. A first point to stress is that there are various types of ambiguity and that they can be detected and handled in different ways. In particular, a distinction can be drawn between the semantic ambiguities of words or phrases, and the syntactical ambiguities that arise from the various roles performed by words within a sentence and in connecting its parts together. To take into account the various levels of ambiguity, we have introduced a family of ambiguity measures. In this paper we present some preliminary findings of experiments regarding the applicability and effectiveness of these measures using the linguistic instruments employed in natural language processing.
Ambiguity
The document discusses different types of ambiguity in language, including lexical ambiguity where a word has more than one meaning, structural ambiguity where the structure of a sentence allows for multiple interpretations, referential ambiguity involving pronouns, scope ambiguity related to quantifiers, and pragmatic ambiguity which depends on the context. It provides examples like "I saw the man with glasses" and predicate logic representations of sentences involving quantifiers like "Every boy likes a girl" to illustrate how the same sentence can have multiple meanings depending on how the quantifiers are interpreted.
Socialmedia_kimrey
The document discusses three online tools - Picmonkey, Facebook, and YouTube. For Picmonkey, the author used it to edit a photo by changing its color and rotating it, finding the tool simple to use with ample options. Facebook is described as a way to keep family updated and share information with friends. YouTube contains educational videos on topics like plagiarism that can be shared, and is owned by Google where anything can be shared through video.
Latihan 03
The document shows that when a number is cubed (multiplied by itself three times), the results are: 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729, 1000. These numbers resulting from cubing integers 1 through 10 are called cubic numbers. A slide was then created using shapes to increment a variable called BIL from an initial value of 10 by 1 each time until the slide ends.
5 Ways to Avoid Ambiguity in Construction Contracts
The document discusses ways to avoid ambiguity in construction contracts. It recommends:
1) Keeping contract language simple, concise, and in plain English to be understood by all parties.
2) Defining any technical or specialized terms used to prevent disagreements over meanings.
3) Including all parts of the agreement in the contract itself or incorporating them by reference, rather than relying on external documents or negotiations.
4) Including an order of precedence clause to resolve any conflicts between different contract documents like drawings and specifications.
5) Carefully reviewing and customizing any standard-form agreements used rather than adopting them wholesale.
Semantic analysis
1) The document discusses semantic roles and relations in language through analyzing examples from a short story. It defines semantic roles like agent, patient, and experiencer and discusses how they are identified in sentences.
2) Various semantic relations are defined, including synonymy, hyponymy, antonymy, complementarity, and converseness. Examples of each relation are provided from sentences in the short story.
3) The document concludes by proposing an extended definition of semantic relations that incorporates restrictions on domains and ranges as well as semantic primitives, which indicate properties between relation arguments.
Ap lang terms 2014 2015
This document defines and provides examples of various AP Language terms related to rhetoric, syntax, reading, argument, and diction. It includes definitions and examples of rhetorical devices like absolute, active voice, adage, allegory, alliteration, and analogy. It also covers syntax elements such as absolute phrases, anadiplosis, anaphora, and antecedents. Additionally, it defines reading concepts like ambiguity, anachronism, and aphorism as well as argument techniques including ad hominem, begging the question, and inductive reasoning.
Hxe302sentencemeaning (1)
The document discusses different types of ambiguity and anomaly that can occur in language. It provides examples of lexical ambiguity, where a word has multiple meanings, and structural ambiguity, where a phrase or sentence structure is ambiguous. It also discusses semantic anomaly, where a sentence violates semantic rules and is semantically nonsensical, though the syntax may be correct. Examples are given of different types of ambiguity and anomaly, and how they can be distinguished and resolved.
Ambiguity
The document defines ambiguity as words, phrases, or statements that have more than one meaning and can cause vagueness or confusion. Common examples of ambiguity provided include ambiguous subjects or objects in sentences. Ambiguity is also discussed in several examples from literature, where ambiguous words or phrases allow for deeper interpretation but do not have one clear meaning. The function of ambiguity in literature is explained as providing a deeper level of meaning that engages readers' imagination and active participation in exploring a work.
Linguistics5
This document discusses different theories and aspects of semantics, or the study of meaning in language. It covers the referential theory which holds that meaning is derived from what words refer to in reality. The representational theory views words as representations of concepts. There are different types of meaning including conceptual, associative, thematic, and ambiguity. The traditional approach viewed words as the basic semantic units, while the functional approach sees texts and context as important. Pragmatics looks at understanding meaning based on context of the utterance. The document also discusses semantic relations between words like synonymy, antonymy, meronymy, hyponymy, polysemy, and homonymy.
Semantic and pragmatic
The document discusses different dimensions of meaning in language including reference and denotation, connotation, sense relations between words, morphemes as the smallest units of word formation, polysemy and homonymy where similar sounding words have different meanings versus a single word with multiple meanings, lexical ambiguity where a word can have multiple meanings, and how the meanings of words combine at the sentence level. It was written by MegaWati and focuses on semantic and pragmatic aspects of meaning.
Semantics and pragmatics
Semantics is the study of meaning in language. It deals with the literal meanings of words and sentences and the relationship between linguistic forms and what they refer to in the world. Pragmatics is concerned with how language is used in context between speakers. It examines how more is communicated than what is literally said. Theories of semantics and pragmatics have included meaning as naming, concepts, behavior, and truth conditions. Pragmatics also examines speech acts, relevance theory, cooperation principles, and argumentation. Both fields are important for understanding how meaning is constructed and communicated through language.
AMBIGUITY IN A LANGUAGE
Ambiguity exists in language when words, phrases, or sentences can have more than one meaning. There are two main types of ambiguity: lexical, which occurs with individual words, and syntactic, which occurs at the sentence level. While ambiguity can cause misunderstandings, it is a fundamental property of natural languages and can also be used intentionally or taken advantage of in communication through context. Language cannot exist without some degree of ambiguity.
Ambiguity
Used for class discussion, these slides describe the ambiguity models as a climate where contingency leadership (example: Fiedler's) may arise
Semantics and pragmatics
The document discusses key concepts in pragmatics including context, inference, implicature, speech acts, and Grice's cooperative principle. Context guides pragmatic meaning and inference beyond literal semantics. Speech acts are social actions performed through language that depend on felicity conditions. Grice proposed conversational maxims of quality, quantity, relation, and manner to describe cooperative frameworks underlying conversations. Speakers can flout maxims to generate implicatures for purposes like sarcasm or diplomacy.
Ambiguity
This document discusses ambiguity in language. It defines ambiguity as when a word, phrase or sentence has more than one possible meaning. There are two main types of ambiguity: lexical ambiguity, which occurs when a single word has multiple meanings, and structural ambiguity, which occurs when the structure of a phrase or sentence allows for more than one interpretation. Several examples are provided to illustrate different instances of lexical and structural ambiguity.

Theme
This document defines themes, discusses how they differ from plots and topics, and provides guidance on identifying themes in stories. The key points are:
- A theme is the central idea or message about life that an author conveys through a work of fiction. It transfers from the story to the real world.
- Themes are not stated directly but must be inferred from details and events. Multiple themes may exist in a single story.
- While a plot summarizes events, a theme expresses a deeper insight about people or life that the story illustrates. A topic is the subject matter, but a theme makes a statement about that topic.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.

- 2. Student Objectives: In this PowerPoint, students will examine and demonstrate understanding of ambiguity and theme through completing the guided notes that go with this presentation.
- 3. KWL Chart: Theme and Ambiguity • In this chart, fill out the K and W section of this chart • Fill out four details for each • The topic is “Theme and Ambiguity” • In a few minutes, we will share our ideas with our pair-share partners! • K- What you Know • W: What you Want to Know • L- What you Learned
- 4. What is Ambiguity? • Ambiguity is “is a word, phrase, or statement which contains more than one meaning.” • This allows for a literary work to have a deeper meaning, or to produce humor • Readers can then use their own imagination to “fill in the blanks” • Ambiguity invites the reader to actively participate in the text • Sometimes ambiguity is seen as a flaw in writing, where authors leave “holes” in their work • Many authors use ambiguity intentionally and can aid reader engagement
- 5. What is Theme? • Theme is the main idea of a text • Sometimes it is directly stated, but more often than not, it must be inferred • Theme is an opinion, not simply the subject of a text • Theme can apply to all groups of people and cultures (a sense of universality) • Themes are often about: love, hatred, friendship, revenge, jealousy, war • The theme can be inferred by looking at other literary elements such as: • Plot, character interactions, character feelings, setting
- 7. Thinking Back • What themes have you seen that are common in literature? • Think what the theme is and how you identified it! • Take a few minutes to come up with some examples with specific texts in mind • Share out loud with a partner • Then we will talk about them as a class
- 8. The Lady, or the Tiger? Preview • Author: Frank Stockton • Short story written in 1882 • Setting: A land ruled by a semi-barbaric king • Background/Plot: The king holds a punishment “trial” based entirely off chance in a public arena • The accused is forced to pick a door out of two options. Behind one door is a lady whom the king believes is a good match for the accused, and behind the other door is a tiger ready to kill. • The king’s daughter’s lover is discovered and is thus put to trial. The princess inevitably finds out which door reveals the lady and which door reveals the tiger.
- 9. QuickWrite: Making Predictions • Now it’s time to predict what will happen in The Lady or the Tiger? • Answer the following questions in a short paragraph. You have 7 minutes! We will then discuss our predictions as a class. • Who will be at the end of the door? A tiger or a lady? • How will the princess help her lover? Will she even help him? • What does it mean to be barbaric? How does this affect the princess’ nature?
- 10. KWL: What Did I Learn? • Now that we have discussed theme and ambiguity, jot down what you have learned! • Write down at least four points in the “L” section • Were your questions in the “W” section answered? • If not, let’s talk about it
