Academic text
The document provides definitions and explanations of key concepts in academic writing. It states that academic texts are written by experts in a formal style using facts and specialized vocabulary specific to the discipline. Literary analysis essays examine and analyze literary works, going beyond summary to make an argument about a theme or motif. Research papers use outside sources to support an argument or thesis. Dissertations summarize original doctoral research. Well-structured academic writing uses clear structures like IMRD or a three-part introduction, body, conclusion structure.
Planning the writing process
This document provides information and guidance on academic writing. It discusses the audience for academic writing being scholars in one's field. It also outlines two key processes for academic writing - writing as a process of drafting and revising, and using a formal register.

While shorter than a dissertation, a student essay is still an academic work if it was written to fulfill an educational requirement. It will cite sources and use appropriate formatting.
3. Long dissertation - Academic

Lecture 1 introduction to syntax
This document provides an introduction to syntax from a lecture given at the University of Aden. It begins by discussing related linguistic concepts like grammar and morphology. Grammar is defined as the mental representation of a speaker's linguistic competence, while morphology examines word structure and formation. Syntax is then defined as the study of how words are combined in an orderly manner to form phrases, clauses and sentences. The goals of syntax are outlined, such as illustrating patterns of language and analyzing sentence structure. The document concludes by noting that syntax establishes rules based on traditional grammar and requires recalling information over time.
Testing
This course is about English syntax and sentence structure. It will introduce students to the study of syntax, which examines how words are combined to form phrases and sentences. The course will analyze sentence structure, identifying the different parts of sentences and how they are arranged and relate to each other. Students will be assessed through an entry quiz and other assignments that evaluate their understanding of syntax and ability to analyze sentence structure.
Words native and borrowed
This document appears to be a reading quiz for a lexical analysis course. It contains 5 multiple choice questions about the reading, followed by short answer questions. Students are asked to discuss the Indo-European origins of words and the relationship to development. They must also explain and provide an example of cognate and non-cognate words.

This document defines and discusses writing conventions, style, and register. It begins by defining writing as communicating ideas through sentences, and conventions as the standard rules of spelling, punctuation, grammar, and formatting. It then discusses the specific conventions of spelling, punctuation, capitalization, grammar, and paragraphing. Next, it covers the concepts of style, which refers to vocabulary choice, and register, which is the type of language used for a particular purpose. It provides examples of formal, informal, familiar, and ceremonial registers. The document concludes by listing references used.
High School Discourse Analysis
The document provides an analysis of discourse in a high school AP English class. It discusses how the increasing lack of dedication from students was harming the class. Students had to complete rigorous assignments in writing, reading, and speech to prepare for the AP exam, but became increasingly exhausted. This exhaustion led to degrading grades and learning as students struggled to continue with the intense workload without breaks. The shared goals of the discourse community were failing as fatigue prevented students from performing well on the AP exam.
Language
This document provides an overview of language processing and the comprehension and expression of language from a cognitive psychology perspective. It discusses the basic structure of language including phonology, syntax, and semantics. It also examines the processes involved in language production, speech perception and comprehension, and language development. Key models of language comprehension are described, including Kintsch's model which represents text as propositions that are organized into a hierarchical structure. The document aims to analyze the microstructure of the entire language process as it occurs in real time.
Aspects Of The Theory Of Syntax
This document provides an overview of Noam Chomsky's theory of generative grammar as presented in his book Aspects of the Theory of Syntax. The key points are:
1) Linguistic theory is concerned with an ideal speaker's underlying competence, not actual performance which can be influenced by external factors.
2) Generative grammars aim to describe this competence by providing rules that generate an infinite set of sentences and assign them structural descriptions.
3) Previous grammars were inadequate because they did not attempt to formulate the recursive, creative rules that characterize a language.
4) Modern tools for describing recursive systems now allow linguists to fully explore generative grammars and address longstanding issues in
Scopes of linguistic description 1
The paper deals with the scope of linguistic description. It thus highlights the idea of idealization and how models of linguistic descriptions rely thoroughly on abstracting linguistic data.

(2) semantics and linguistics
Semantics is viewed within linguistics as being at one end of the linguistic model, with phonetics at the other end and grammar in the middle. This view is plausible because semantics deals with meaning, phonetics deals with sounds, and grammar deals with structure. Unlike phonetics, semantics cannot be directly observed or empirically verified since the meaning of language cannot be identified independently of language itself. Linguistics aims to study generalizations rather than specific instances, and semantics must be concerned with the meaning of sentences as abstract linguistic objects rather than utterances by individuals.
What is doscourse analysis..
Discourse analysis is the study of language in use and how it relates to the context. It examines both written texts and spoken data. There are two main approaches - British discourse analysis emphasizes close observation of natural communication, while American focuses more on research methods. Form and function in language do not always correspond, as intonation and grammar are unreliable indicators. Discourse analysis studies both small speech acts and larger discourse structures. It aims to explain how natural spoken and written language is organized.
Idiomi, lecture 02, 12 13
This document discusses the typology and categorization of fixed expressions and idioms. It identifies three main categories: anomalous collocations, formulae, and metaphors. Anomalous collocations are problematic in terms of lexicogrammar, formulae are problematic in terms of pragmatics, and metaphors are problematic in terms of semantics. Each category has further subcategories that provide more specific classifications based on the nature of the anomaly or problem. The document also discusses related concepts like collocation, processing of idioms, and how fixed expressions become institutionalized over time through the process of lexicalization.
Explanation Text
This document provides information about explanation texts. It defines explanation texts as texts that explain processes relating to natural, social, scientific, and cultural phenomena by answering "why" and "how" questions. It outlines the generic structure of explanation texts, including a general statement, explanation sequence, and concluding statement. It also describes two common types of explanation texts: sequential explanations, which explain occurrences or how things work; and cause and effect explanations, which explain why things happen. The document contrasts explanation texts with procedure texts, noting that explanation texts explain how or why something is while procedure texts explain how to make or do something.
