A brief explanation about words that look the same but have different meanings and pronunciations; some example sentences and fun illustrations with the Simpsons' characters.
An antonym is a word that means the opposite of another word, derived from Greek roots meaning "opposite" and "name". There are three categories of antonyms: graded antonyms involve scales of meaning between words like good and bad; complementary antonyms only allow two possibilities with no middle ground; and relational antonyms require both words to exist for their relationship. Antonyms can also be formed by adding prefixes like "un" or "in" to reverse a word's meaning. Reference sources like antonym dictionaries are useful for finding perfect antonyms.
Introduction to Simultaneous Interpreting.pptahmedalani57
Simultaneous translation requires the interpreter to listen to a spoken speech and interpret it into the target language simultaneously with only a short lag time of two to three seconds. The interpreter sits in a booth and provides an accurate and complete translation at the same rate as the speaker. Some tips for simultaneous interpretation include listening carefully, giving the most immediate translation, catching the key points if speaking is too fast, avoiding summaries unless needed, and not providing one's own commentary.
The document discusses syntax, which are the rules that govern sentence structure in languages. It defines syntax as the mental representation of a speaker's linguistic knowledge about sentence formation. The key components of syntax include parts of speech, phrase structure trees, grammaticality, ambiguity, and the infinite potential for sentence formation through recursive rules.
The document discusses euphemisms, which are terms that replace taboo words. [1] Taboo words are often replaced with euphemisms to avoid directly mentioning uncomfortable topics like death, disease, or occupations considered indecent. [2] However, euphemisms can also cause problems by glossing over meanings, creating inefficiencies with multiple replacement terms for the same thing, or generating new conflicts around political correctness. [3] While euphemisms serve the purpose of avoiding taboo language, they must be used in moderation to avoid further issues.
The document discusses the eight parts of speech in English: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, interjections, and conjunctions. It provides definitions and examples for each part of speech. The document encourages learning parts of speech and provides links to online games and resources for practicing parts of speech.
The document discusses collocations, or words that frequently occur together. It provides examples of verbs that collocate with certain nouns, such as "perform an operation" but not "perform a discussion". Adjectives are also discussed, such as "high probability" but not "high chance". Finally, it discusses adverb and adjective combinations like "terribly sorry" and "highly unlikely".
An independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, containing both a subject and a verb. A dependent clause cannot stand alone as it is missing an element like a subject or verb, and must be used with an independent clause. Examples of an independent clause are "We walk to school" and of a dependent clause are "Until the sun sets".
A lexicon is the body of words that make up a language. Lexicology is the study of words, their meanings, uses, and relationships. A lexicographer writes dictionaries by determining what words and concepts to include from a language's lexicon. A lexeme is the basic unit of lexical meaning, such as a word and its inflected forms that share the same core meaning. Determining what to include in a dictionary considers factors like parts of speech, regional terms, slang, abbreviations, proper nouns, and more.

English for specific purpose FALSE FRIENDSCintia Santos
The document discusses English for specific purposes taught by Teacher Cintia. It provides examples of cognates and false friends in English and Portuguese. It notes that cognates have similar spelling and meaning in both languages, while false friends look similar but have different meanings. Examples of both are provided. The document emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between cognates and false friends for students learning English.
Comparative and superlative adjectives.pdfSofia Freire
This document discusses comparative and superlative adjectives. It explains that comparative adjectives are used to compare two people, places or things, often using "than". Superlative adjectives usually describe the extreme or highest degree, often using "the". The document provides rules for forming comparative and superlative adjectives from basic adjectives of different syllable patterns, such as adding "-er" or "-est". It also gives examples of commonly used comparative and superlative adjectives and exceptions to the rules.
The document discusses descriptive and prescriptive grammar. Descriptive grammar describes how language is actually used by native speakers, including variations, while prescriptive grammar specifies how language should be used based on established rules. Descriptive grammar is useful for casual communication and understanding usage, while prescriptive grammar is important for formal settings like academic writing. Both have advantages for language learners, as descriptive grammar helps sound natural but prescriptive grammar enables success in many situations.
Root words, prefixes, and suffixes are components of word structures that provide meaning.
Root words are the core meaning of a word, such as "graph" meaning to write. Prefixes are attached before root words to modify or change meaning, such as "photo" meaning light and "graph" meaning to write, making "photograph" mean to write with light. Suffixes are attached after root words, such as "-able" meaning able to or "-less" meaning without. Understanding word structures can help increase vocabulary.
The document discusses the English alphabet and sounds of letters and words. It notes that the alphabet contains 26 letters including 5 vowels and 21 consonants. The letter Y can be either a vowel or consonant. Short vowels have a brief sound while long vowels are sustained. Some words are spelled exactly as they sound but others do not sound as their letters are spelled, such as "was" sounding like "woz".
This document defines antonyms and provides examples. It begins by stating that antonyms are words with opposite meanings. There are three types of antonyms: gradable antonyms which have levels like beautiful and ugly, complementary antonyms which are absolute opposites like alive and dead, and converse antonyms which are pairs like above and below. Examples of hot and cold, fast and slow are given. Two exercises with words and their antonyms are provided for practice.
This document discusses various lexical relations in language including synonyms, antonyms, hyponyms, prototypes, homophones, homonyms, metonymy, retronyms, entailment, meronymy, and semantic features. It provides examples for each lexical relation and discusses how they relate words and concepts through meaning. It also discusses how dictionaries describe words and the role of prototypes in word meaning. The document aims to describe the different relationships between words that exist in language from a linguistic perspective.
The document discusses synonyms and antonyms. It defines synonyms as words that have the same or similar meanings, and provides examples like "hot-warm" and "great-wonderful". Antonyms are defined as words with opposite meanings, such as "warm-cool" and "up-down". Knowing synonyms and antonyms can make someone a more descriptive writer and interesting speaker. Using a variety of word choices keeps readers engaged.
This PowerPoint presentation introduces subject-verb agreement and explores some of the difficulties in getting subjects and verbs to agree properly. It provides examples of singular and plural subjects and the verbs they take. It also examines tricky cases involving compound subjects, fractions, and lengthy modifiers separating subjects from verbs. The goal is to help writers avoid agreement errors in their own writing.

Language is a system of symbols used to communicate ideas between individuals. It must be learnable by children and capable of expressing ideas normally communicated in social contexts. There are three main building blocks of language: 1) Phonemes, which are the smallest units of sound, and morphemes, the smallest units of meaning; 2) Words and morphemes combine to form phrases and sentences according to the rules of syntax; 3) Language develops through stages from babbling to first words to telegraphic speech as children learn the rules of their native language.
This document discusses ellipses, which are the omission of words from sentences for brevity or clarity. It provides several examples of how ellipses can be used:
- Repeated subjects, verbs, objects, and prepositional phrases can be omitted from compound sentences connected with "and", "but", or when clauses have the same structure.
- Verb phrases can be left out after an auxiliary verb or linking verb in subsequent clauses.
- Complement clauses introduced with "to", "whether", or "that" can have the entire clause omitted through ellipsis.
- Questions can repeat just the question word when repeated rather than the entire question.
Ellipses allow for concise
The document discusses various word formation processes including compounding, blending, back formation, affixation, and meaning change. It provides examples for each process. Compounding involves combining two or more free morphemes to form a new word like blackbird. Blending joins parts of different words like smog from smoke and fog. Back formation removes what is mistakenly considered an affix like peddle from peddler. Affixation adds a bound morpheme through prefixation, suffixation, or infixation. Meaning change alters a word's semantic meaning through processes like generalization or metaphorical extension.
Synonyms are words that have the same or similar meanings, such as wet and moist. Antonyms are words with opposite meanings, like hot and cold. Homonyms are words that are spelled and pronounced the same but have different meanings, such as dog the animal and dog to follow closely. The document provides examples of synonyms, antonyms, and homonyms and distinguishes between homonyms, homophones, and homographs.
The document discusses different types of phrases and clauses. There are three types of phrases: prepositional phrases, which begin with a preposition and modify a noun; adjectival phrases, which act as adjectives; and adverbial phrases, which act as adverbs. There are also two types of clauses: independent clauses, which can stand alone as a sentence; and dependent clauses, which cannot stand alone and contain a subordinating conjunction. The document provides examples of different types of phrases and clauses.
This document discusses verbs and verb phrases. It covers:
1) Types of verbs including lexical, auxiliary, copula, intransitive, and transitive verbs.
2) Transitive verb subtypes like monotransitive, ditransitive, and complex transitive.
3) Prepositional and phrasal verbs, and the differences between them.
4) How subjects, objects, and complements modify verb meaning in sentences.
Audiovisual translation involves translating material in audio, visual, or audiovisual formats through techniques like dubbing, subtitling, localization, and audio description. It is a growing field that ranges from dubbing voices to subtitling. Software localization similarly requires translating and adapting software and documentation for other languages and cultures, often starting during product development to allow simultaneous releases. Both audiovisual translation and software localization thus involve oral or written translation of various multimedia elements.
This document defines synonyms, antonyms, and homonyms and provides examples of each. A synonym is a word with the same or nearly the same meaning as another word. An antonym is a word opposite in meaning. A homonym is a word that sounds the same but has a different meaning. The document then gives a game to test understanding where teams can earn points by answering questions about synonyms, antonyms, or homonyms correctly.
The document discusses different types of complements in sentences, including subject complements, object complements, direct objects, and indirect objects. It provides examples of each type of complement and explains how to identify them. Subject complements include predicate nominatives and predicate adjectives, and follow linking verbs. Objects receive the action of verbs and can be direct objects or indirect objects. A flowchart is also included to help identify different types of complements.
The document discusses the structure of predicates and their components. It defines a predicate as having a verb component, which can be a single verb or a more complex structure centered around a verb. The subject and predicate of a sentence can each be a single word, phrase, or syntactic structure such as modification, complementation, or coordination. The predicate consists of verbs and their properties like person, tense, voice, and modifiers or complements. Complements have a close semantic relationship to the verb, while adjuncts freely modify it.
The document discusses the pronunciation of 'ed' endings in regular verbs and adjectives in English. It notes that 'ed' is pronounced as 't' if the base verb ends in certain sounds like t, p, k. It is pronounced as 'id' if the base ends in d or t. All other words take an 'ed' pronunciation. It provides examples and exercises for learners to practice identifying and saying the different 'ed' pronunciations.
The document provides instructions for a Spanish language activity where students search a word search puzzle for specific parts of speech and grammar terms. It asks students to find adverbs, pronouns, adjectives, irregular verbs, and conjunctions in the puzzle. It then instructs students to write one sentence using a word from each category found. It explains that completing the word search and writing the sentences will make up 50% and 10% of the grade, respectively, and offers help to students.

This document provides instructions for learning German using the Assimil method of language learning. It discusses:
- Doing a little language study regularly and avoiding mental fatigue when studying is more important than doing intensive bursts of study irregularly.
- The method uses two "waves" - a passive stage where you absorb the language through listening and a later active stage where you analyze the grammar more formally.
- Lessons are broken into short paragraphs with the German text, phonetic transcription, English translation and notes. Studying should involve reading the German, comparing to the phonetic version and translation, and repeating aloud.
- It provides a guide to German pronunciation to help with sounds that are different from English.
This document contains information about several English verb tenses:
- The past continuous tense (also called the past progressive) which describes ongoing or repeated actions in the past.
- The perfect tense (also called the present perfect) which is formed using "have/has + past participle" and describes completed actions at an unspecified time before now.
- The past perfect tense which is used to describe actions that occurred before other past actions, formed with "had + past participle".
- The simple future tense which predicts actions that will happen in the future, formed with "will/shall + base verb".

This document provides information about the dance Chroma performed at the San Francisco Ballet. It discusses the minimalist set designed by British architect John Pawson and the surprising chromatic variations achieved through lighting, sets, and costumes that were nearly all white or flesh-toned. The author had a conversation with the technical director about Pawson's work and the production. The set features a sloping curvature of walls and is constructed of wood with stretched canvas. Costumes were dyed to match the skin tones of the dancers.

3. Words that are spelled the
same but have different
pronunciation and meaning.
What are heteronyms ?
4. For example:
WIND = VIENTO - La vocal « i » es corta.
WIND = ENROLLAR - La vocal « i » es larga.
5. WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO NOT FALL INTO THE TRAP:
1 -. Familiarize yourself with the words.
5 - Look at the context when reading.
2. - READ ALL THE MEANINGS IN THE DICTIONARY.
3 - Do not choose the first word you see, remember that there's more.
4 - Try to memorize the pronunciation of each meaning.
6 -. If you have questions, read it again.
6. Some advice
For example the following sentence:
° The camel walked slowly through the hot, dry desert.
The sentence containing the word will give clues to the
real meaning and therefore the correct pronunciation.
El camello caminó lentamente por el desierto caliente y seco
When you translate this phrase into Spanish, it should read as
follows:
7. That goes for not
knowing more meanings
of the same word
° The camel walked slowly through the hot, dry desert.
Fair and necessary!
FOOL !
is read as
follows
If you are not familar with the words you could read something else like:
El camello caminó lentamente en el calor seco y se rindió
El camello caminó lentamente por el desierto caliente y seco
8. ° The camel walked slowly through the hot, dry desert.
will help you to know that the word "DESERT" should be
pronounced with an 'e' short, because in this case
refers to the DESERT REGION.
In this case, the words:
hot, dry
El camello caminó lentamente por el desierto caliente y seco
Some advice
con el acento en la última <<e>> la palabra significa:
ABANDONAR, DESERTAR O RENDIRSE.
