Critical discourse analysis
This document discusses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). It begins by defining key terms like discourse, language, and the branches of linguistics. Discourse is described as consisting of sentences with cohesion and coherence. Language is defined as a symbol system that is arbitrary, complex, and constantly changing. CDA examines how language shapes social relations and power structures. The document outlines different definitions of discourse and the relationship between text, context, and meaning.
Stylistic analysis
This document provides an analysis of the poem "I Died for Beauty" by Emily Dickinson at various linguistic levels. It defines stylistic analysis and outlines several levels of analysis including the phonological, grammatical, semantic, pragmatic, graphological, discourse, and lexical levels. For each level, it provides examples of linguistic features and concepts that could be analyzed such as stress, rhythm, denotation, implicature, punctuation, genres, and word types.
Discourse Studies
The document discusses discourse analysis and related concepts. It defines discourse as language use beyond the sentence level that occurs in social contexts. Discourse is realized through language, texts, and communication. Texts are analyzed at different levels, including semantics, lexicogrammar, and phonology/graphology. Discourse analysis examines how texts relate to their contexts and social practices.
Diglossia
Diglossia refers to a stable language situation where two varieties of the same language are used by a language community. The high variety (H) has prestige and is used for formal, written communication while the low variety (L) lacks prestige and is used for informal, spoken communication. Some key aspects of diglossia include the high variety having prestige, a literary heritage, acquisition through formal education, standardization, a simpler grammar in the low variety, differing lexicons between the varieties, and the high variety having a divergent sound system from the low variety.
Transformational Generative Grammar
Transformational generative grammar is a grammar that was proposed by American Linguist Noam Chomsky in his book entitled, Syntactic Structures in 1957. He talked about some major concepts that is Competence and Performance
Secondly most of our knowledge are innate and learners only have to learn idosyncratic features and thirdly he said that language is universal and deep structures in all languages are same they only differs at the level of transformational level.
Chomsky proposed two level of sentences; deep structures (shows the semantic content of a sentence) and surface structure (determines its phonetic form).
Phrase Structure rule provide us with the underlying syntactic structure of sentence. They are used to break down natural language sentence into its constituent parts. It is a tree diagram which has branches and nodes and each node followed the other.
Transformational Structure Rules contain two parts; Structural analysis specifying the class of strings of two which the rule applies. The second part specifies the structural change.
Morphophonemic rules deals with the alteration of phonetic of morphemes across morpheme boundary. It has a form of phonological rules but it is restricted to a particular morphological environment.
saussure
Ferdinand de Saussure was a pioneer in modern linguistics who viewed language as a system of arbitrary signs. He made an important distinction between langue (the abstract system of a language) and parole (individual usage). Saussure also differentiated between the synchronic study of language at a single point in time versus the diachronic study of language evolution over time. His work emphasized analyzing the langue through its sign relationships and structure at a fixed time period, establishing linguistics as a formal, scientific discipline.

Stylistics and it’s relation with linguistics and literature
Stylistics is a branch of linguistics that studies style through a scientific analysis of linguistic features in different types of language varieties. It examines how readers interact with and are affected by the language of literary texts. Stylistics can be viewed as the study of phonological, lexical, and syntactical linguistic features that directly impact a text's meaning. It originated in the 19th century as the study of literary style and has influenced both linguistics and literature by analyzing the effectiveness of language units in different speech types and examining how artistic expressiveness is achieved in literary works.
Generative grammar ppt report
Generative grammar proposes that speakers have unconscious knowledge of rules that generate the grammatical sentences of their language. This theory views grammar as a system of rules and principles that are part of the human mind rather than a set of prescribed rules. Generative grammar has transformed the field of linguistics and influenced other fields like computer science and philosophy.
Second language acquisition in the classroom
This document discusses theories of second language acquisition, including behaviorism, cognitive theory, and creative construction theory. Behaviorism views language development as habit formation influenced by the first language. Cognitive theory sees acquisition as building knowledge systems that become automated through practice. Creative construction theory proposes that learners internally construct representations of the target language through listening and reading, with speech and writing being outcomes rather than causes of learning.
This document outlines a framework for analyzing English for specific purposes (ESP) with 7 categories: 1) purpose, 2) setting, 3) interaction, 4) instrumentality, 5) dialect, 6) target level, and 7) communicative event. It then applies this framework to analyze ESP for social science students, identifying key communicative events like lectures, seminars, and exams. It also discusses specifying an ESP syllabus by focusing on micro-skills, micro-functions, and linguistic forms. Finally, it summarizes criticisms of ESP models for lacking consistency and a clear link to syllabus design.
Pakistani english
Pakistani English has developed under the influence of both British colonial rule and the regional languages of Pakistan. It retains some vocabulary and grammar from British English but also incorporates words and usages from Urdu and other Pakistani languages. Pakistani English is distinct from other dialects with its own terms and spellings. It is taught using British English standards but has also absorbed some American English influences through modern media and technology.
language and social variation
This document discusses language variation based on social factors. It covers the topics of sociolinguistics, social dialects, education and occupation, social markers, and speech style/style-shifting. Sociolinguistics examines the relationship between language and society, investigating how languages function in communication and the structure of language. Social dialects, or sociolects, are language varieties that differ based on a speaker's social status or group, such as social class, religion, or ethnicity. Features like pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar are used to analyze social dialects. Education level and occupation also influence one's speech patterns and style.
Communicative competence
The document discusses the origins and evolution of the concept of communicative competence. It began with Chomsky's distinction between competence and performance. Hymes later argued competence must account for social and cultural factors. He coined the term "communicative competence" to refer to knowledge needed for effective communication. Further researchers like Canale and Swain, and Bachman, expanded on the concept to include grammatical, sociolinguistic, discourse, and strategic competencies. Communicative competence is now understood as the combination of knowledge and abilities required to communicate appropriately in social contexts.
Grading task
This document discusses grading learning tasks and defines what constitutes a task. It provides definitions of grading, learning tasks, and the key aspects of a task. It explains that grading learning should be focused on making the material easy to deliver to students. The ultimate purpose of language learning is use, so materials should be designed to lead to communicative tasks where students use content and language. The document also outlines principles of task-based language teaching like needs-based content selection and providing opportunities for learners to focus on the learning process. Factors that are important for grading a learner's ability are discussed, including the complexity of input, learner confidence and motivation, prior learning experience, learning pace, and their abilities and knowledge.
Transformational Generative Grammar
Transformational generative grammar is a theory of language developed by Noam Chomsky that uses rules called transformations to relate the deep structure and surface structure of sentences. The deep structure represents the core semantic relations, while the surface structure follows phonological form. Transformations map the deep structure onto the surface structure. There are different types of transformations like subject-verb inversion and subject-operator inversion. Transformational generative grammar analyzes language syntactically and semantically and can result in paraphrases or resolve ambiguities.
Linguistic inequality
This document discusses linguistic inequality and types of linguistic prejudice. It defines linguistics as the scientific study of language, including language form, meaning, and context. Linguistic inequality refers to differences in a person's ability to use language in different social situations due to lack of exposure or disadvantage. There are three main types of linguistic inequality: subjective inequality, which concerns prejudices about ways of speaking; linguistic inequality, which relates to differences in linguistic items like vocabulary; and communicative inequality, which involves differences in knowledge or skills. The document also discusses two types of linguistic prejudice: cognitive uncertainty, where people make judgments of others based on how they speak, and linguistic insecurity, where some social groups believe they speak poorly. It defines
Approaches to Syllabus Design
The document discusses several approaches to syllabus design in language teaching, including structural, notional-functional, situational, skill-based, and task-based syllabi. The structural syllabus focuses on grammar structures, while the notional-functional syllabus emphasizes semantic and communicative functions. The situational syllabus organizes language content by real-world situations. Skill-based syllabi target specific language abilities, and task-based syllabi use activities for non-instructional purposes outside the classroom.
Code Switching & Codee Mixing
This document discusses code switching and borrowing in sociolinguistics. It defines code switching as using more than one language or variety within an utterance. There are three types of code switching: inter-sentential, intra-sentential, and extra-sentential. Code switching serves directive, expressive, referential, phatic, metlinguistic, and poetic functions. Borrowing occurs when a word is adopted from another language and naturalized. There are direct and core types of borrowing. Social factors that influence code switching and borrowing include situation, participant attitudes, topics, quoting others, group identity, and lexical need.
Product oriented syllabus1
This document discusses different types of syllabus planning approaches, including product-oriented, process-oriented, analytic, synthetic, grammatical, and functional-notional syllabuses. It explains that product syllabuses focus on the knowledge and skills learners gain, while process syllabuses focus on learning experiences. A synthetic approach teaches language parts separately and gradually builds the whole structure, whereas an analytic approach presents language in chunks of varying difficulty. Grammatical syllabuses break language into discrete units based on grammatical criteria. Functional-notional syllabuses focus on the purposes and meanings expressed through language.
Code Mixing
Code mixing refers to the mixing of two languages or codes, mainly occurring in informal, bilingual or multilingual situations and communities. There are two types of code mixing: inner code mixing and outer code mixing. Code mixing can occur for reasons such as quoting others, discussing specific topics, or using repetition for clarification purposes. The key difference between code mixing and code switching is that code mixing is done spontaneously and dominated by one language, while code switching is done intentionally with two or more languages being dominant.
Step by step stylistic analysis
The document provides a step-by-step guide for analyzing the style and techniques used in a non-fiction text. It outlines key areas to examine such as the audience, theme, tone, emotion, diction, syntax, organization, perspective and more. Examples are given for each category to illustrate what to look for and how different writing choices can impact the overall style.
Syllabus Designing
The document discusses syllabus design for language teaching. It defines a syllabus and outlines different types of syllabi, including product-oriented syllabi like structural, situational, and notional/functional syllabi as well as process-oriented syllabi like procedural/task-based, learner-led, and proportional syllabi. Practical guidelines are provided for choosing a syllabus type based on desired outcomes and available resources. Key factors in effective syllabus design include determining learning objectives, selecting content and materials, and outlining course requirements, policies, and evaluation methods.
Cognitive linguistics
Cognitive linguistics emerged from developments in linguistics in the 1960s-1970s. It views language as grounded in human cognition and experience rather than as an autonomous system. Some key principles of cognitive linguistics include: meaning arises from conceptualization rather than being truth-conditional; semantics is encyclopedic rather than compositional; and linguistic knowledge comes from language usage. Cognitive linguistics investigates various topics like categorization, grammar theories, discourse analysis, and language acquisition using these principles.
Language variation assgnmnt
The document is a 9-page assignment on the topic of language variation submitted for a sociolinguistics course. It defines key concepts in sociolinguistics such as standard language, dialects, registers, and style. It discusses how factors like region, social class, gender, and formality influence language variation. Specific language varieties covered include regional dialects, social dialects, individual dialects, accent, jargon, slang, and styles. Speech accommodation processes like convergence and divergence are also summarized.
Stages of Acquisition of first Language
The document discusses language acquisition in children from birth through age 10. It describes the prelinguistic, one-word, two-word, telegraphic, and later language development stages. Key points covered include the difference between learning and acquisition, the roles of nature and nurture, and how children gradually develop more advanced grammar and vocabulary over time through social interaction.
Linguistics, noam chomsky
Animals do not have language in the same way that humans do. While animals can communicate through sounds and gestures, their communication lacks core features of human language such as arbitrary symbols, grammar, displacement, and productivity. Experiments attempting to teach animals like chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans to use human language through signing or words have found that the animals were only able to repeat gestures or sounds without truly understanding or producing novel linguistic combinations. While animal communication shares some similarities with human language, it is generally considered less complex and rule-governed than the innate, open-ended linguistic systems that all human societies possess.
Ferdinand De Saussure’s contribution to linguistics
Ferdinand de Saussure made seminal contributions to linguistics through his book Course in General Linguistics, which was compiled from his lecture notes by students after his death. He distinguished between synchronic and diachronic linguistics, langue and parole, and introduced key concepts like the signifier/signified relationship in signs, and syntagm and paradigm relations between signs. Saussure established linguistics as a formal science and laid the foundations for 20th century linguistic theory.
Standard english debate
The document discusses Standard English, defining it as the variety of English normally used in writing and associated with education. It is not a language, accent, style, or register in itself. Standard English is a social dialect distinguished from other dialects by its grammatical forms. The document also discusses linguistic differences between standard and non-standard dialects, as well as how Standard English is taught in the UK National Curriculum.

He viewed language as a system of relations and differences that is studied through both synchrony, the present state, and diachrony, its historical development.
Lesson 2 Dimensions Of Language
The document discusses the dimensions of language including the cultural, syntagmatic, and paradigmatic dimensions. It explains that the cultural dimension relates to audience expectations, while the syntagmatic dimension involves word order and syntax. The paradigmatic dimension refers to lexical choices. It also discusses formality versus informality, standard versus nonstandard language, general versus specific terminology, in-group versus out-group jargon, and choosing appropriate language for different audiences and contexts.
Effective teaching through_cultural_relevance
The document discusses culturally relevant teaching and its importance for students and teachers. It argues that teachers need to connect culturally with their increasingly diverse students to help them succeed academically. While some advocate focusing on economic differences between students, experts like Dr. Gay and Dr. Nieto believe teachers should learn about and incorporate students' individual cultures into their lessons to create stronger connections and understanding between students and teachers. When teachers take on the role of learners about their students' cultures, it can help all students achieve at higher levels regardless of cultural or economic background.

It recommends using clear content and language objectives, graphic organizers, hands-on materials, cooperative learning, academic language instruction, and visual aids. The document also emphasizes building background knowledge, incorporating technology, and creating a welcoming classroom environment to support ELL affective needs. Effective strategies include focusing on message over grammar and allowing use of native language between students.
Two Dimensions of Writing
The document discusses two dimensions of writing: consolidatory writing and free writing. Consolidatory writing reinforces oral skills through controlled exercises focusing on grammar, structures, and rhetorical patterns. Free writing focuses on the creative use of language to communicate ideas through free compositions and experiences like personal notes, letters, narration, description, and argumentation. It provides examples of fully controlled and guided writing activities for consolidatory writing, which involve substitution, transformation, and rearrangement exercises, as well as examples of free writing experiences.

On The Origin And Nature Of Standard English
The document discusses the origins and nature of Standard English. It traces the term "Standard English" back to 1138 when it referred to military standards or flags. By the 18th century, it was applied to language and literature. Standard English emerged from the East Midland dialect becoming dominant due to various political, communication, and industrial factors. Linguists disagree on the definition of Standard English and whether it refers to grammar, orthography, or a particular accent. The document concludes that while there is debate around Standard English, English language teachers should be aware of variations but focus on exposing students to authentic materials to familiarize them with English broadly.

eapp1.pptx
Academic writing is a formal style intended for scholarly audiences. It relies on research and evidence rather than personal opinions. Examples include research papers and dissertations. Academic writing has a rigid structure, aims to inform readers with unbiased information backed by evidence, and uses field-specific vocabulary and citations. In contrast, non-academic writing is less formal and can be subjective, aiming to inform, entertain, or persuade broader audiences. Examples include newspapers, magazines, and blogs. Academic language is the formal, objective, impersonal, and precise language used in academic texts and classrooms.

The document provides guidance for teachers on how to approach rewriting with students, including focusing on higher-order concerns before lower-order concerns and using written feedback to guide revision.
Conclusions
The document discusses conclusions for essays. It states that most students believe conclusions simply restate the thesis or main ideas, but effective conclusions draw implications from the ideas presented in the body. A good conclusion stresses the importance of the thesis, gives a sense of completeness, and leaves a final impression. When writing a conclusion, authors can call to action, prompt reevaluation of beliefs, apply ideas to real situations, or return to a significant idea with new meaning. It's best to think about conclusions during later drafts once ideas have developed.
Introductory And Body Paragraphs
The document discusses different techniques for writing effective introductory and body paragraphs for argumentative essays. It covers various forms that introductions can take, such as using definitions, comparisons, questions or delaying the thesis statement. It also discusses how to guide readers through body paragraphs using exposition to convey facts, interpretation to explain meanings, and signposts to outline what has been covered and what is coming. Effective use of sources is also addressed, emphasizing summarizing and paraphrasing over direct quotes with explanation.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

- 20. Jargon ( 行话 ) In Group Out Group Jargon ( 行话 ) is any in-group or specialized language used by small groups of like-minded individuals. This terminology is usually specialized to the function of the group, and will be used by and among group members as a sign of belonging, status, and for keeping out outsiders.
- 21. Example In Group Out Group Individuals who study linguistics will use words like quantifier, voiceless labiodental fricative, diglossia, intensifier, minimal pair and metonymy . To non-linguists, these words have different meanings or no meanings at all.
- 22. Example In Group Out Group Situation One : If you are writing a paper explaining concepts in linguistics to an audience of non-linguists, you might introduce and explain a few important terms. But you wouldn't use those terms without an explanation or in a way your audience wouldn't understand.
- 23. Example In Group Out Group Situation Two : If you are writing a conference paper for a group of linguists or a term paper for a college-level linguistics course, you should use in-group jargon to help show that you understand the concepts and can discuss them in ways other linguists can.
