Figure of speech
The document defines figures of speech as words or phrases used in a non-literal way. It then provides examples and definitions of several common figures of speech, including hyperbole which uses exaggeration, oxymoron which connects opposing ideas, simile which uses "like" or "as" to compare two unlike things, metaphor which compares without those words, and personification which attributes human traits to non-human things.
Figurative Language
Figurative language uses comparisons between two unlike things through devices such as similes, metaphors, and personification. Similes directly compare two things using "like" or "as", while metaphors imply a comparison without using those words. Personification gives human traits to non-human objects. Other figures of speech include imagery, which creates mental pictures, and hyperbole, which exaggerates for effect.

Figurative language uses comparisons to describe people, objects, or ideas in non-literal ways. There are three main types: personification gives human qualities to non-human things; similes use "like" or "as" to compare two unlike things; and metaphors state a comparison without using "like" or "as". Interpreting figurative language involves understanding the comparison being made and what the author aims to convey about the topic.

Semantics dasri
This document contains definitions and examples of several linguistic concepts:
1. It defines symbol, referent, denotation, connotation, and implication, providing examples to illustrate the differences between these concepts.
2. It also defines and provides examples of euphemism, ambiguity, metaphor, simile, synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy, and homonym.
3. The document is written in an educational style, aiming to teach the reader about key semantic concepts through straightforward definitions and clear examples.
Principles And Parameter Of Universal Grammar
The document discusses three key concepts of Universal Grammar:
1. Structure dependency, which asserts that language relies on structural relationships rather than word order. Passive sentences in English demonstrate this by moving elements based on their structure, not position.
2. The language faculty, which proposes the mind has a separate, autonomous module for language that is distinct from other domains like logic or mathematics.
3. The head parameter, which specifies whether a language's phrases are head-first or head-last, with the head (e.g. verb, noun) appearing before or after complements within the phrase. This variation between languages is captured by the head parameter.
Principles And Parameters Of Universal Grammar
The document discusses the key principles of Universal Grammar (UG) according to Chomsky's Principles and Parameters theory. It outlines several principles of UG, including structure dependency, the language faculty, the head parameter, the projection principle, government theory, and relating sound and meaning. The theory proposes that human languages are governed by universal principles and vary according to parameters within clearly defined limits.
Sadia Qamar (Assignment)
The document discusses three key concepts of Universal Grammar:
1. Structure dependency, which asserts that language relies on structural relationships rather than word order. Passive sentences in English demonstrate this by moving elements based on their structure, not position.
2. The language faculty, which proposes the mind has a separate, innate module for language that is distinct from other cognitive functions like logic or vision.
3. The head parameter, which specifies that languages vary based on whether the head of a phrase (verb, noun, preposition) occurs on the left or right of its complements within the phrase. This provides one dimension along which languages can differ.
The Brief of SEMANTICS
