This document appears to be an introduction slide for a presentation given by three individuals: Setiawan Bayu Nugroho, Fider, and Mr.khairi. No other details are provided about the topic or contents of the presentation.
This document discusses research on differences between women's and men's language. It explores whether women use more hedging and boosting language that signals lack of confidence or attempts to persuade. The document also examines how tag questions are used more by women to express uncertainty or soften statements and questions. Additional topics covered include differences in politeness levels, interruptions during conversations, conversational feedback, and characteristics of gossip between women and men.
1. This document contains a pragmatics quiz with multiple choice and true/false questions.
2. The questions cover topics like implied meaning, presuppositions, conversational maxims, and speech acts.
3. Correct answers are required to demonstrate an understanding of how context, intention and implication affect meaning beyond what is explicitly stated through language.
The document discusses language features used by women that signal lack of confidence according to linguist Robin Lakoff. These include hedging devices like tag questions, lexical hedges, rising intonation on declaratives, and intensifiers. Tag questions in particular are used more by women to express uncertainty and soften directives. While women use more politeness devices than men when speaking to both women and men, social status and the gender of conversational partners can influence language patterns between groups. The document also examines gendered metaphors and morphology in the English language.
The document discusses cooperation and implicature in conversations. It explains that cooperation is the basis for successful conversations, as people try to converse smoothly. Cooperation and implicature are fundamentally linked, as conversations assume people are not trying to confuse or withhold information from each other. Implicature conveys additional meaning beyond what is literally said, which listeners infer. The cooperative principle and Grice's maxims provide guidelines for effective language use. Scalar, particularized, conventional implicatures are discussed as ways additional meanings are communicated.
Pragmatics in the EFL classroom: An introductionJerry Talandis
Here are the slides from my presentation at the JALT 2013 national conference, in Kobe, Japan on October 27th. Here's the abstract:
If pragmatic competence is indeed a crucial part of successful communication (Murray, 2009), it follows that language learners need both instruction of pragmatic routines and awareness raising in order to achieve proficiency in a second language (Charlesbois, 2004). The field itself is quite broad, however, encompassing areas such as speech acts, discourse organization, sociolinguistics, and conversational structure, implicature, and management- all areas not traditionally addressed in language teaching curricula (Bardovi-Harlig & Mehan-Taylor, 2003). For English teachers in Japan largely unfamiliar with pragmatics yet interested in learning more, guidance is needed in exploring its many benefits for improving oral communication skills. This workshop will therefore aim to make pragmatics more accessible and practical by defining the field in lay terms, making a case for its inclusion within an oral communication curriculum for low-intermediate and above learners, and providing specific ideas on which aspects to focus upon and how to teach them. Participants will have an opportunity to experience and reflect on various activities that introduce, practice, and assess progress in building pragmatic competency. Space will also be included for participants to discuss their teaching contexts and exchange ideas on how to effectively introduce pragmatics to their students.

This document discusses speech act theory and politeness in speech acts. It begins with an introduction to speech acts and J.L. Austin's speech act theory. Direct and indirect speech acts are explained, along with how to categorize different types of speech acts such as representatives, directives, commissives, etc. Felicity conditions for speech acts are presented. The concept of politeness and how it relates to maintaining face is discussed. Indirect speech acts are explained as a way to be polite. Sentence types and identifying them is also covered. In the end, references used in the document are listed.
Pragmatics is the study of meaning as communicated between speakers and understood by listeners. There are many types of pragmatics including deixis, inference, presupposition, implicature, speech acts, and politeness. Deixis refers to words that can only be understood in context, such as personal pronouns, spatial adverbs, and temporal terms. The three types of deixis are personal, spatial, and temporal deixis. Speech acts refer to utterances that perform actions, such as questions and apologies. Politeness aims to create social harmony through appropriate language, while implicature involves implied meanings.

Pragmatics is the study of meaning in context and how language is used in communication. Speech act theory analyzes utterances as locutionary acts (the words spoken), illocutionary acts (the intention or force behind the words), and perlocutionary acts (the effect on the listener). There are five main speech act sets: representatives that assert facts, directives that command or request, commissives that commit the speaker to actions, expressives that convey attitudes, and declarations that bring about changes through uttering. Apologies typically involve expressing regret, taking responsibility, providing an explanation or offer to repair the situation, and promising non-recurrence. Cultural factors influence apology strategies used.
The document discusses Grice's Cooperative Principle, which states that communication involves cooperation between participants to establish meaning. It consists of four maxims: quality, quantity, relation, and manner. Conversational implicatures refer to implied meanings derived through inference rather than what is literally stated. Speakers can implicate additional meanings by observing or flouting the maxims, such as providing less information than required to imply uncertainty. The document provides examples of how speakers can flout different maxims to convey extra meanings.
Implicature refers to what a speaker implies rather than literally says. There are two main types: conversational implicature which is derived from cooperative conversation principles, and conventional implicature which is associated with specific words. Conversational implicature includes generalized implicature which does not depend on context, and particularized implicature which does. Scalar implicature also falls under conversational implicature and is implied when a weaker term on a scale is used. Particularized implicature provides more contextual information than generalized implicature. Implicatures can intentionally or unintentionally impact understanding in conversations.
Rachel and Ross infringe the maxims of quantity and manner due to drunkenness, leading to unclear and overly verbose speech. Joey seeks their help in a serious matter but they are unable to cooperate due to their impaired state.
This document discusses cross-cultural communication and provides tips for improving it. There are four fundamental patterns of cultural difference: communication styles, attitudes toward conflicts, decision making, and approaches to knowledge. High context cultures rely heavily on non-verbal cues while low context cultures rely more on words. Gestures can have different meanings across cultures. Barriers to cross-cultural communication include ethnocentrism, discrimination, stereotyping, cultural blindness, and cultural imposition. Ways to improve include slowing down, separating questions, avoiding negatives, taking turns, checking meanings, and maintaining etiquette. Developing skills like respecting differences, building trust, understanding body language, and connecting with people can help overcome cultural barriers.
Kurikulum 2013 membawa perubahan signifikan pada empat elemen utama, yaitu: (1) standar kompetensi lulusan yang menitikberatkan pada pengembangan soft skills dan hard skills secara seimbang, (2) standar isi yang mengubah pendekatan pembelajaran menjadi tematik integratif, (3) standar proses yang mengubah proses pembelajaran menjadi siswa sentris, dan (4) standar penilaian yang menilai proses dan hasil secara bersama
The document discusses various types of cohesion that provide links between parts of a text, including reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction, and lexical cohesion. Reference uses words like pronouns to refer to things introduced earlier. Substitution and ellipsis involve replacing or omitting words. Conjunction uses words like "and" and "but" to connect sentences. Lexical cohesion involves repeating or associating vocabulary through reiteration or collocation. Different languages use these cohesion techniques in different ways.
The document summarizes a report that identifies 11 key elements of effective writing instruction for adolescents based on a meta-analysis of research. The elements include teaching writing strategies, summarization, collaborative writing, setting specific goals, using word processing, sentence combining, prewriting activities, inquiry activities, incorporating process writing, peer feedback, and explicit instruction. Implementing these elements can help improve the writing skills of adolescents and address the literacy crisis.
Group 2 consists of J. Sutomo, Bayu S., Tyo, Rayda, Sari K., and Kharisma. The document discusses different types of assessments, including informal and formal assessments, formative and summative assessments, and norm-referenced and criterion-referenced tests. Informal assessments are unplanned and take various forms like feedback, while formal assessments are specifically designed exercises. Formative assessments evaluate students in the process of learning to help continued growth, while summative assessments summarize learning at the end of a course. The conclusion is that assessment in language teaching evaluates both student skills and knowledge.
The document lists the names of 6 people in Group 2 and then discusses the definition, characteristics, and scope of language. It defines language as a systematic communication using vocal symbols that develops spontaneously in children. The main characteristics of language are that it is systematic, arbitrary, and symbolic. The scope of language includes levels of analysis like phonetics, semantics, communication systems, and sociolinguistics as well as comparisons to animal communication and first language acquisition.
Gender refers to social behaviors that distinguish people as masculine or feminine rather than biological sex. It focuses on contrasting descriptions of traditionally masculine and feminine traits. The document provides an example of Tayana, a young indigenous person from North America who speaks Tuyuka at home to communicate with their children, while their husband speaks Desano.
