Words sentences and dictionaryes by:Diana Villarreal
This document discusses different linguistic concepts related to words, sentences, and dictionaries. It describes how language can be divided into different sized pieces, from sounds to utterances. Words are considered the basic units of language. Dictionaries provide translations of words and information about meanings, grammar, and pronunciation to look up words. Some linguistic items like idioms and collocations have unpredictable meanings that are figured based on common usage rather than the literal definition of the words. Idioms are phrases with figurative meanings, while collocations refer to words that commonly go together, like "hard work." Proverbs are also discussed as traditional sayings whose conventional interpretation differs from the literal meaning.
Word part analysis
This document discusses vocabulary development and comprehension. It defines different types of vocabulary including tier 1, 2, and 3 words. It also explains the difference between breadth and depth of vocabulary knowledge. Additionally, it outlines strategies for learning new words including implicit learning through wide reading and explicit instruction using word parts, context clues, and dictionaries.
Adjective Phrase
An adjective phrase is a group of words that modifies and provides more information about a noun or pronoun, consisting of an adjective and any modifiers. It functions like an adjective to describe a noun or pronoun by including adjectives, adverbs, and conjunctions. The main difference between an adjective phrase and a noun phrase is that an adjective phrase acts as an adjective by describing a noun or pronoun, while a noun phrase acts as a noun.
Some Summary of Morphology
This document discusses words, sentences, and dictionaries. It makes several key points:
- Words can be the basic building blocks of language and sentences, but a sentence does not always need multiple words and can consist of a single word command.
- There is a distinction between a word as a type and its occurrences as tokens. The same word can appear as different tokens in a sentence.
- Not all words have unpredictable meanings that need to be defined in a dictionary. Some words have predictable meanings based on their sounds.
- Idioms and phrases can have meanings that are unpredictable from the individual words. Larger linguistic units like proverbs can also have non-literal meanings.
- Not

Syntax
This document outlines English constituent structure and phrase structure rules. It discusses the main parts of a sentence including the noun phrase and verb phrase. The verb phrase is broken down into the main verb, auxiliary, tense auxiliary, optional auxiliaries like modal and "be+ing". Eight phrase structure rules are presented that describe the basic relationships between sentences, noun phrases, verb phrases, and their components. As an example, the sentence "Those bears might have been hungry yesterday" is analyzed using these rules.
Analyzing Word Parts
This document provides instructions for analyzing unfamiliar words by examining their prefixes, suffixes, and base words. It includes an example of breaking down the word "illiterate" into its parts. Readers are asked to complete a chart breaking down the word parts of sample words. The chart models how to identify the base word, prefix, suffix, and meaning. Finally, readers are given words and asked to use prefixes or suffixes to create new words from base words in parentheses.

The document then explains how to compose Korean syllables using initial, medial and final sounds. It also outlines important rules for pronunciation, including representative consonant sounds, phoneme compression and consonant assimilation. The full textbook would use these foundations to systematically cover Korean parts of speech, sentence structure, inflectional words and other grammar patterns to build learners' knowledge of the Korean language.
Using the Dictionary
The document discusses the importance of using a dictionary to improve vocabulary and language skills. It notes that a dictionary can help with spelling, pronunciation, identifying parts of speech, and understanding a word's origin and multiple meanings. The document also outlines some key parts of a dictionary entry, such as the headword providing correct spelling, syllabication guidance, use of the International Phonetic Alphabet for pronunciation, abbreviations indicating parts of speech, etymology in brackets, and definitions of possible meanings.
Semantic labeling
Congratulations! You've reached the final tutorial. Semantic labeling is the process of thinking about how the subordinate phrases are related to the main phrase, and what role they play overall. All phrases play a semantic part by answering one of the 5WH questions: who, what, when, where, why, and how.
How to use a dictionary
A dictionary is a reference book that contains an alphabetical list of words with their definitions and pronunciations. Dictionaries provide guidelines on how to use the book, including how words are arranged, abbreviations used, and pronunciation symbols. To look up a word, the user finds the letter section, scans the pages following alphabetical order and guide words, and reads the entry which defines the word, its pronunciation and part of speech. Online dictionaries provide a similar service digitally through search engines.
Dictionary use
This document provides a short guide on using a dictionary to understand words in readings. It explains that a dictionary can be used to look up the meaning, translation, spelling, plural/past tense forms, grammatical information, synonyms/antonyms, collocations, pronunciation, and examples of usage for words. Examples are given for each type of information that can be found in a dictionary.
Basic English Grammar
This document provides an overview of basic grammar concepts including parts of speech. It begins with defining the basic sentence structure of subject and predicate. It then discusses phrases, clauses, objects, and complements. The main parts of speech are defined including nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions and interjections. Specific types of each part of speech are explained like common and proper nouns, personal and possessive pronouns. The document provides examples and notes on common errors for concepts like subject-verb agreement, pronoun usage, and plural nouns.
Korean language guide (2013) pdf
This document provides an overview of the Korean language guide created by Luke Park to teach Korean language lessons online. It includes:
1) A table of contents listing over 70 Korean language lessons covering topics like pronouns, particles, verbs and more.
2) An introduction explaining the goals of making the lessons easy to understand and applicable to daily life while covering both written and spoken Korean.
3) A brief history of the Korean alphabet Hangeul, which was invented in the 15th century to be phonetic and easier to learn than Chinese characters previously used.
#4 gerunds and infinitives
This document discusses gerunds and infinitives. Gerunds are verb forms ending in "ing" that can be used as nouns, subjects, or objects. Infinitives are verb forms with "to" that can also be used as subjects or objects. Whether a verb takes a gerund or infinitive as its object depends on the specific verb. Some verbs like "enjoy" require a gerund object, while others like "want" require an infinitive object.
Dictionary And Parts Of Speech
The document discusses dictionaries and parts of speech. It provides examples of dictionary entries that show the part of speech, definition(s), synonyms/antonyms, examples of usage, pronunciation and word origin for entries. It also discusses how knowing the part of speech of a word is important for understanding its definition when looking it up in the dictionary.
Dictionary skills (session 5)
The document discusses understanding parts of speech and using dictionaries effectively. It provides examples of how the same base word can have different parts of speech and meanings depending on context. It also outlines the key parts of a dictionary entry and how to choose the appropriate meaning of a word by considering context and part of speech. Effective dictionary use involves understanding abbreviations, entries, and being able to interpret idioms.
Words as types and words as tokens (Morphology)
The document discusses the distinction between words as types and words as tokens. It explains that a token is an individual occurrence of a type. While sentences are composed of word tokens, dictionaries actually list word types, as it would be absurd to have separate entries for each occurrence of the same word. The distinction between a type and its tokens is an ontological one, with types being abstract and unique, while tokens are concrete particular instances.
Dictionary skills
This document provides guidance on using a dictionary to look up words and understand their meanings and origins. It discusses ensuring the definition fits the context, paying attention to parts of speech abbreviations, using guide words to find definitions, and finding word origins in brackets. Understanding these dictionary skills helps to properly define words and understand their intended meanings.

How a Dictionary is Organized
Dictionaries are organized alphabetically. Guide words at the top of each page indicate the first and last entry on that page, helping users quickly locate a word. Definitions include the word's pronunciation, part of speech, meaning, and sometimes an example sentence. Understanding guide words and definition components makes dictionaries easier to use.
Tdc 1 moodle- class 3
This document provides a review of parts of speech and introduces phrases, clauses, and sentences. It defines nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and pronouns with examples. Phrase types - noun, verb, adjective, adverb, and prepositional phrases - are identified in sentences. Clauses are defined as groups of words that contain a subject and verb, and can be independent or dependent. Sentence types - simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex - are also defined. Exercises from textbooks and workbooks on these grammar topics are assigned for further study.
Using the Dictionary
Dictionaries are used to find definitions of words and ensure correct spelling. They are organized alphabetically, with guide words at the top of each page indicating the first and last entry words on that page. Users can determine if an entry word is on the current page by checking if it falls between the guide words alphabetically.

Grammar book
This document provides an overview of English grammar concepts including definitions of words, sentences, tenses and sentence types. It defines a word as the basic unit of language consisting of one or more speech sounds that represent meaning. Sentences are defined as groups of words that express a complete thought with a subject and verb. The document also outlines the four main tenses in English - present, past, future - and provides examples and structures for each.
Types of sentences
The document defines and describes sentences from both structural and functional perspectives. Structurally, it identifies four types of sentences: simple sentences with one clause, compound sentences with two or more independent clauses, complex sentences with one independent and one or more dependent clauses, and compound-complex sentences with a mixture of these features. Functionally, it defines four main types of sentences: declarative sentences that make statements, interrogative sentences that ask questions, imperative sentences that give commands or requests, and exclamatory sentences that express strong emotions. The document provides examples to illustrate each type of structural and functional sentence.
Sense relations & Semantics
1. Sense relation is a paradigmatic relation between words or predicates that results from the semantic relatedness between forms and meanings.
2. There are several types of sense relations, including synonymy (words with the same meaning), polysemy (words with multiple meanings), hyponymy (more specific terms that fall under a more general term), and antonyms (words with opposite meanings).
3. Semantics is the study of meaning in language. Word meanings can be classified in different ways, including referential, associative, connotative, social, affective, and reflected meanings.
Word from Grammar syntax and semantics
The document discusses the definition and identification of words. It examines different linguistic approaches to defining words, including semantics, phonology, and views of linguists. According to semantics, a word has a single meaning, but some items like "singer" contain multiple meanings. Phonologically, some languages use vowel harmony and stress patterns to distinguish words. Linguists propose potential pauses and that a word is an indivisible unit that cannot be altered. Bloomfield defined a word as the "minimum free form" that can occur in isolation, but some items like "the" cannot stand alone, creating issues for this definition. The document explores various aspects of defining words both in writing and speech.
Declarative Syntax Definition - Grammars and Trees
This lecture lays the theoretic foundations for declarative syntax formalisms and syntax-based language processors, which we will discuss later in the course. We introduce the notions of formal languages, formal grammars, and syntax trees, starting from Chomsky's work on formal grammars as generative devices.
We start with a formal model of languages and investigate formal grammars and their derivation relations as finite models of infinite productivity. We further discuss several classes of formal grammars and their corresponding classes of formal languages. In a second step, we introduce the word problem, analyse its decidability and complexity for different classes of formal languages, and discuss consequences of this analysis on language processing. We conclude the lecture with a discussion about parse tree construction, abstract syntax trees, and ambiguities.

Research proposal (Students' Knowledge of Adverb and Adjectives)
This document provides an introduction to a student's thesis on distinguishing between adjectives and adverbs. It includes sections on the background of the topic, definitions of adjectives and adverbs, their distinguishing characteristics, the research methodology used in the study, and references. The study aimed to determine 10 students' knowledge of adjectives versus adverbs through a test. It found that some students were still confused between the two parts of speech due to similarities in some cases where adverbs are formed from adjectives with the "-ly" suffix.
Lesson one
Syntax deals with how words are combined to form phrases and sentences. A phrase contains a head word along with optional modifiers that provide extra information about the head. Phrases are combined to form clauses, with a noun phrase serving as the subject and a verb phrase as the predicate. Constituent structure examines how words group together into meaningful units within clauses. Constituents can be moved, substituted, or ellipted without changing the core meaning of a sentence.
