This document summarizes the key concepts of reference and inference in semantics and pragmatics. It defines reference as using linguistic forms to allow identification of something based on shared speaker-listener knowledge. Inference is defined as predictions or guesses made by the listener in response to information stated to understand the speaker's intended reference. The document then discusses aspects of reference and inference, including referential and attributive uses, names and differences, the role of co-text, and types of anaphoric reference.

Pragmatics
The document discusses key concepts in pragmatics including reference and inference, presupposition and entailment, cooperation and implicature, politeness and interaction, conversation structure and preference, and the role of background knowledge and cultural schemata in communication. Speakers use language with intentions in mind based on assumptions of what listeners know, and listeners use inference to interpret meaning beyond what is explicitly stated. Successful communication depends on cooperation between speakers and listeners adhering to conversational maxims while considering social and cultural contexts.

The document discusses key concepts in pragmatics including reference and inference, presupposition and entailment, cooperation and implicature, politeness and interaction, conversation structure and preference, and the role of background knowledge and cultural schemata in communication. Speakers use language with intentions in mind based on what they assume listeners already know, and listeners use inference to interpret meaning beyond what is directly stated. Successful communication relies on cooperation between speakers and listeners along with implicatures, politeness, and following conversational preferences and norms.

This document summarizes a research study that analyzed the types of presupposition used in advertisements in TIME Magazine. The study used a descriptive quantitative method to identify presuppositions based on Yule's six types: existential, factive, lexical, structural, non-factive, and counterfactual. It found that existential presupposition, which assumes the existence of named entities, was the most dominant type used. The study examined advertisements from multiple issues of TIME Magazine to determine frequency and calculate percentages of each presupposition type.

Avoiding Plagiarism
Plagiarism involves using other people’s words without giving them proper credit. In this class, giving proper credit means using full APA citations in the body of your paper or discussion post and in your papers. If you use someone’s ideas, you must include a citation – (Bevan, 2020). If you use someone’s words, you must encase the words in quotation marks and leave the citation. Remember, the reader assumes all your work is your own words unless otherwise indicated by the use of quotation marks. If you use four or more words from a source, be sure to use quotation marks, or it could be deemed a form of plagiarism. This can result in you receiving a zero on the assignment and could even result in failing the class. Avoid using websites such as coursehero, as they sell papers that have been produced by other students and can result in you plagiarizing other people’s work.

Pragmatics.pptxPragmatics.pptxPragmatics.pptx
Pragmatics is the study of meaning in context and how the transmission of meaning depends not only on structural and linguistic knowledge but also on the context of the situation in which an utterance is made. It examines the ways context contributes to meaning. This includes studying how language is used in social interactions, the different types of speech acts, implicature, presupposition, and how context helps determine what is actually meant by an utterance, beyond just its literal meaning. Pragmatics considers both linguistic and contextual knowledge in interpreting meaning.
Role pf Listening Skills in Our Daily Life
English language consists of four types of skills e.g. reading, writing, speaking and listening. Listening is animportant skill because it helps us to learn and understand different things. Usually, a person who listens properly is able to react appropriately to a particular situation or towards a particular person. Listening skills are very important to enhanceour understanding as well as overall abilities in life. Listening helps to establish a positive working relationship with your colleagues and bosses. It also encourages trust and helps in building a good rapport. Listening Skills are vital for interpersonal communication. Good listening skills add up more to our knowledge and personality.
Pragmatics presentation
Pragmatics is the study of how context contributes to meaning in communication. It focuses on the users of language and how the context of language use affects meaning, rather than just the semantic meaning of words. Pragmatics examines implied meanings, presuppositions, and speech acts. It studies how people choose language to achieve different purposes in social interactions and how those choices affect others. Pragmatics analyzes both linguistic and non-linguistic aspects of communication, such as physical context, shared knowledge between speakers, social relationships, and more. Theorists like Austin and Searle contributed speech act theory to pragmatics, distinguishing between what is said and what is meant by an utterance. Grice's
Pragmatics
Pragmatics is the study of meaning beyond the words themselves. It examines how context, including linguistic context, physical context, and cultural context, influence meaning. Some key aspects of pragmatics include deixis, which examines words that depend on context like pronouns; inference, which is how listeners understand implied meaning; presupposition, which are assumptions in language; and politeness, which looks at how language is used to maintain social relationships and self-image. Understanding pragmatics is important for comprehending intention and avoiding cross-cultural misunderstandings.
Pragmatics
Pragmatics is the study of contextual meaning and how more is communicated than what is explicitly said. It examines invisible meanings, inferences, and assumptions that arise from linguistic and physical context. Key aspects of pragmatics include deixis, which are expressions like pronouns that depend on context to be understood, and speech acts, such as requests, that depend on context and politeness conventions. Politeness aims to save face by mitigating threats to people's self-image and sense of independence or belonging.
Pragmatic Referece and Inference
George Yule argues that words themselves do not refer to anything directly, but that reference is an act performed by people using linguistic forms. Successful reference requires collaboration between the speaker's intention to identify something and the listener's ability to recognize that intention through inference. Referring expressions provide a range of possible referents, but the context and co-text help disambiguate the intended referent. Anaphora involves subsequent references to an already introduced referent using devices like pronouns and definite noun phrases to track entities over multiple sentences.

Discourse analysis-1225482185740463-9
Discourse analysis is the study of language use in context. It focuses on how spoken and written language is structured and how meaning is derived based on context. Key aspects of discourse analysis include cohesion, coherence, speech events, background knowledge, conversational interaction, and the cooperation principle. Cohesion refers to linguistic ties like anaphora that link parts of discourse. Coherence relies on background knowledge to interpret meaning. Speech events and interactions provide social context. The cooperation principle proposes conversational maxims like being relevant and clear that aid understanding. Overall, discourse analysis examines language patterns and pragmatics to interpret intended meanings in context.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

reference and inference.pptx
- 1. SEMANTICS AND PRAGMATICS “REFERENCE AND INFERENCE” Dosen Pengampu: Prof. Dr. Martin Kustati, M.Pd. Honesty Trila, S.Pd.I., M.Pd. GROUP 4: - Lisa Iwanka RS (2014050007) - Nopera Amanda Tanjung (2014050009)
- 2. A.Definition Of Reference And Inference - Reference Reference, is the act of the speaker/writer using a linguistic form to allow the listener/reader to identify something, reference depends on the speaker's intention. Reference can be defined as the way to identify certain information with its real entity based on shared knowledge between speaker and listener. - Inference Pragmatically, inference is a kind of prediction/guess made by listener in response to information stated. Therefore, listener is demanded to point out right what speaker is informing. According to preceding explanation, speaker's intention would be successfully conveyed if listener is able to infer the reference within information given.
- 3. B.Aspects of Reference and Inference 1.Referential And Attributeve Uses Is a concept that refers to something that is not always in accordance with its shape (image of its form).The speaker invites the reader to assume physically when what is described does not exist.ex: There are a man waiting for you. (There's a boy waiting for you). The sentence above only informs that there is a man waiting, but you don't know who the man is. So,indirectly the listener will assume the person in question, could it be someone he knows or someone else. 2. Names And Diferents Name and reference is a process of collaboration between intent and purpose. ex: ample is that it often happens in today's society when we want to buy dab soap at a shop, we will say “I want to buy dab soap” without mentioning the name of a particular brand of soap.
- 4. 3. The Role Of Co-Text Our ability to identify the actual intended reference and more depends on our understanding. Example: These potato cakes are made from fried potatoes and pounded with a mixture of chicken meat. (potato fritters are made from mashed fried potatoes and mixed with chicken meat). 4.Anaphoric Reference Anaphoric reference invites the listener to continue to identify correctly. Reference itself has 3 types of reference, namely: a.Anaphoric reference (Initial reference mentioned at the beginning) b.Cataphoric reference (Initial reference mentioned at the end) c.Zero Anaphora (an expression that has no reference)
