Speech Act Theory
This document provides an overview of speech act theory, which proposes that language is used not just to convey information but to perform actions. It defines locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary speech acts and discusses John Searle's classification of five illocutionary points: directives, commissives, representatives, declaratives, and expressives. Examples are given for each type of speech act. The document also includes exercises for readers to identify different speech acts.
Lecture 3 implicature
This document discusses implicature, which refers to what a speaker suggests or implies beyond the literal meaning of an utterance. There are two types of implicature: conversational implicature, which is derived from conversational principles and assumptions, and conventional implicature, which is associated with specific words. Conversational implicature can be generalized or particularized. Scalar implicature communicates additional information based on a scale of values used in an utterance. The document provides examples to illustrate these concepts of implicature.
The Urduization of English in Pakistan
This document analyzes the integration of Urdu lexicon into English language usage in Pakistan. It presents data collected from Pakistani publications over 7 years, analyzing borrowing in categories like articles, descriptive labels, edibles, law/order terms, marriages and more. It finds borrowing occurs to fill lexical gaps and convey local atmosphere. Writers deliberately use Urdu terms and integrate them into English through italicization, quotation marks, capitalization or underlining. Grammatical aspects like noun pluralization and adjectives functioning as nouns also reflect Urdu influence on Pakistani English.
Speech Acts - pragmatics
It presents Speech Acts based on the Levinson - Pragmatics Book.
Direct and Indirect Speech Acts, Locutinary and Ilocutinary. examples: Journal Articles.
Stylistic analysis
This document provides a stylistic analysis of the poem "i carry your heart with me" by E.E. Cummings. It analyzes the poem's style at the graphological, syntactic, lexical, and phonological levels. At the graphological level, it examines the stanza structure and formatting. At the syntactic level, it analyzes grammar and sentence structure. At the lexical level, it considers word choice and parts of speech. At the phonological level, it analyzes sound patterns like rhyme, alliteration and assonance. The conclusion is that Cummings beautifully describes an ideal, selfless love through his creative style and rhythm.
Speech act and speech event
Speech acts are functional units of communication that speakers perform through utterances. There are three types of meaning conveyed: propositional meaning of the literal words, illocutionary meaning of the intention, and perlocutionary force of the effect on the listener. Speech acts can be categorized as representatives, directives, commissives, expressives, or declarations depending on the intention. Analyzing speech acts and speech events provides insight into the functions and social contexts of language use.
Discourse structure as process
This document discusses discourse structure and conversation analysis. It defines conversation as a less formal type of discourse involving small numbers of participants where turns are short. Conversation analysis examines patterns in natural conversation data and how participants negotiate turn-taking through linguistic and non-linguistic signals. Turn-taking involves adjacency pairs, insertion sequences where other topics are briefly discussed, and repairs to clarify meaning. The document presents discourse as a process that is constructed through participant interaction and turn-taking signals.

The last metaphor by Usman Ali. (Pakistan)
Presented by Bakhtawer Khurshid to Madam Naima Bilal who encourages Muslim writers and Pakistani dramas.This drama is written by Usman Ali .Its is inspired by A Dog .
Purpose of writing this is to provoke sense of literature among people.
Diglossia
This document discusses the concept of diglossia, which refers to a situation where two varieties of the same language exist side by side within a speech community. It introduces diglossia and defines it as a stable language situation where a community uses a primary dialect as well as a divergent, codified superposed variety used for formal purposes like education, writing, and official spoken contexts. It then discusses different aspects of diglossia, including the functions of high vs low varieties, prestige and acquisition of the varieties, standardization efforts, differences in grammar, lexicon, and phonology between varieties. The document concludes that in diglossia, no one speaks the high variety as a mother tongue.
Linguistic And Social Inequality
This document is an assignment on linguistic and social inequality submitted to Sohail Falaksher by Waseem Azhar Gilany for their M.Phil Linguistics program. It discusses how linguistic choices made by speakers can reveal their social status and lead to linguistic and social inequality. It identifies three types of linguistic inequality: subjective inequality based on perceptions, linguistic inequality based on vocabulary knowledge, and communicative inequality based on language use skills. A major cause of linguistic inequality is identified as linguistic prejudice, where judgments are made about people based on how they speak. The document then examines different types of linguistic prejudice and how stereotypes further contribute to perceptions of social inequality.
A Sample of CDA
- Hillary Clinton stated on NBC's "Meet the Press" that an "unborn person" does not have constitutional rights.
- Both pro-life and pro-choice supporters criticized Clinton's description of an unborn fetus as a "person."
- Clinton's statement asserts her stance in support of abortion rights and her belief that the issue should be resolved based on constitutional law rather than other considerations such as ethics or religion.
Code Switching and Code Mixing
This document defines and distinguishes between code switching and code mixing in bilingual communication. It explains that code switching involves changing languages unpredictably to fit the environment, and can occur between sentences or within a sentence. In contrast, code mixing involves borrowing words from one language into another without a change in topic, often within a single sentence. The document provides examples and discusses reasons for using code switching or code mixing, including lack of a word in one language, emphasis, or expressing group identity.
Systemic Functional Linguistics
Systemic functional linguistics (SFL) views language as a social semiotic system used to exchange meanings in social contexts. SFL was developed by Michael Halliday to study the relationship between language and its functions in social settings. It treats grammar as a meaning-making resource and considers how language evolves under the pressure of functions it must serve in society. SFL analyzes language through three metafunctions - the ideational to express experience, the interpersonal to enact social relationships, and the textual to create coherent messages.
Assignment of pakistani literature

Speech Acts And Speech Events, By Dr.Shadia Yousef Banjar.Pptx
The document discusses speech acts and speech events. It provides definitions and examples of key concepts:
1. Speech acts are the basic units of linguistic communication and can take the form of requests, apologies, greetings, etc.
2. Speech events are longer interactions composed of multiple speech acts that share a common purpose, topic, participants, and language variety. Examples include conversations, interviews.
3. Performatives are utterances like "I promise" that perform an action in their saying, as opposed to just describing something. Felicity conditions determine whether a speech act succeeds or fails based on the context and participants.
Conversational analysis
This document discusses key concepts in conversation analysis. It defines interaction and conversation, and explains the basic structure of turn-taking in conversation. It also describes important conversational elements like pauses, overlaps, backchannels, conversational style, adjacency pairs, and preference structure. Adjacency pairs refer to expected question-answer sequences in conversations, while preference structure indicates that acceptance is a more preferred response than refusal.
Reference And Inference By Dr.Shadia.Pptx
This document discusses reference and inference in pragmatics. It explains that words themselves do not refer to anything directly, but rather people use words to refer to people and things. For successful reference to occur, listeners must make inferences to connect what is said to what is meant. Reference involves both the speaker's intention to identify something and the listener's recognition and interpretation of that intention through inferences based on context and shared background knowledge.
Semantic Fild and collocation
This document discusses fields and collocation in linguistics. It defines paradigmatic relations as vertical substitutions of similar linguistic units, and syntagmatic relations as horizontal co-occurrences. It also discusses semantic fields (sets of related words), color systems, and collocation (words that often go together). Collocation includes lexical collocations of open classes and grammatical collocations of open and closed classes. Idioms also involve special collocational relationships.
Audio visual method
The document summarizes the audio-lingual method, a language teaching approach developed in the 1940s-50s. It was influenced by behaviorism and focused on habit formation through repetition of dialogs and pattern drills. The goals were accurate pronunciation, grammar and quick responses. A typical lesson involved listening, repeating, substituting in dialogs followed by various drill activities like transformation and dictation exercises.
Discourse analysis
This document discusses discourse analysis and conversation analysis. Discourse analysis examines whole texts and how meaning is constructed based on context. Conversation analysis studies how conversations occur and how participants navigate turns, topics, and termination. There are generally four stages to a conversation: getting attention, nominating a topic, developing the topic through turns, and terminating the discussion. Conversations also follow maxims of quantity, quality, relevance, and manner. Discourse and conversation analysis examine language use beyond sentences and consider social and cultural factors.
Transitivity Analysis
1. The document discusses transitivity analysis, which examines how meaning is represented through clauses that have participants, processes, and circumstances.
2. It provides examples of different process types - material, behavioral, mental, verbal, existential, and relational.
3. Four studies are summarized that apply transitivity analysis to newspaper headlines about crimes against women, a song about Malala Yousafzai, a short story character, and newspaper headlines about a Kenya terrorist attack. The analyses examine how language constructs representations and images.
Theory of Deconstruction with Examples
This document provides an overview of the theory of deconstruction as developed by French philosopher Jacques Derrida. It discusses Derrida's influences including Martin Heidegger and Ferdinand de Saussure. Key concepts of deconstruction discussed include binary oppositions, logocentrism, and analyzing what a text omits in addition to what it includes. As an example, the document deconstructs the poem "Snow" by Frederick Seidel to explore symbolic meanings beyond what is directly stated.
Transitivity and ideational meanings by Micheal Halliday
This document provides an overview of transitivity and its key constituents in systemic functional linguistics. It discusses the six main process types: material, behavioral, mental, verbal, relational, and existential. For each process type, it defines the key participants and provides examples. It compares material and mental processes, highlighting differences in tense usage, number of participants, nature of active participants, and ability to project. It also examines the seven circumstantial elements - extent, location, manner, cause, accompaniment, matter, and role. The summary concisely covers the main topics and process types discussed in the document.
grammar and style
The document discusses grammar and style. It defines grammar as the systematic study and description of language, noting that grammar establishes rules that are necessary for a language to be complete, similar to rules in games. Style refers to word choices used by specific groups. The document then presents the basic model of grammar as having a hierarchy from small linguistic units like clauses to larger units. It describes the key components of a clause as the subject, predicator, complement, and adjunct. Various types of clauses are also discussed, including imperative, interrogative, and declarative clauses as well as variations involving different grammatical moods.
Presentation on cda
The document provides an overview of critical discourse analysis (CDA). It discusses how CDA emerged from critical linguistics and examines how language both shapes and is shaped by society. CDA is concerned with studying texts to reveal the discursive sources of power, dominance, and bias. The document also describes Fairclough's three-dimensional model of CDA and how it analyzes the text, discursive practice, and social practice dimensions of language.
Conversational writing style
Conversational style breaks some grammatical rules to seem more like natural speech and build rapport with readers. It uses shorter sentences, questions, contractions and informal language to engage readers. Writers should study examples, edit out unnecessary words, and replace formal language with informal discourse markers to make their writing feel like a discussion. This style increases readership by creating connections and making the content more fun and accessible.
Power in interpersonal relationships
Power in interpersonal relationships influences who we choose as friends and partners and determines dependence within those relationships. Those with less dependence have more power. Cultures vary in attitudes towards power dynamics between groups. Power can come from expertise, ability to reward or punish, and persuasiveness. It is communicated through speech, nonverbal cues, listening skills, and strategies for gaining or resisting compliance from others. Empowering others increases their power within a relationship.
cs2
This document discusses nonverbal communication and its characteristics. It defines nonverbal communication as messages expressed without words, including behaviors, environments, and vocal tones. Some key points:
- Nonverbal communication is an important and powerful mode of communication that conveys relational messages and emotions. However, it is also ambiguous since the same nonverbal can have multiple meanings.
- Cultural values influence nonverbal communication norms around space, touch, and eye contact. For example, Americans value more personal space than some other cultures.
- Deception may be revealed through nonverbal cues like increased speech errors, hesitations, eye blinking and posture shifts since nonverbals are harder to consciously control.
- Different types of

Cross cultural communications
Cross-cultural communication in international business requires proficiency in multiple languages and an understanding of linguistic and non-verbal differences between cultures. Effective communication is challenging as language influences culture and vice versa. Business organizations need to communicate across cultures with employees, customers, suppliers and governments. Linguistic styles, social contexts, and non-verbal cues like gestures, personal space norms, and facial expressions can all vary significantly between cultures and cause misunderstandings if not properly understood.

Caps 9 & 10 summary
This document discusses organizational preferences and strategies for persuasion across cultures. It notes that in U.S. English, essays and speeches follow a linear structure with a clear thesis, while Japanese paragraphs connect ideas indirectly. It also describes three general persuasion styles - quasilogical using evidence, presentational appealing to emotion, and analogical using stories - and how cultural norms influence acceptable evidence and emotional appeals. The document then covers maintaining relationships across cultures, including dimensions of relationships, balancing autonomy/connection, and managing uncertainty through disclosure.
Power And Ideology In Language And Stereotypes - Presentation Slides - By Reh...
This document discusses power and ideology in language stereotypes. It defines key terms like stereotypes, language stereotypes, power, and ideology. It explains that language stereotypes are beliefs about linguistic characteristics that represent a person's class, culture, or community. Power is the ability to control one's environment and influence others, and it is linked to language since language is how power relations are constructed and challenged. Similarly, ideology is a set of beliefs held by individuals or groups, and language plays a role in developing, maintaining, and disputing different ideologies. Overall, the document examines how power dynamics and ideological views are reflected and shaped through language stereotypes.
Language identity.
The document discusses language identity, power, and politics. It defines identity as something that is constantly negotiated through interactions. There are four types of identity: master, interactive, personal, and relational. Language plays a role in national and cultural identity. Power can be exercised through language by elevating some varieties and suppressing others. Language is also used politically through techniques like presupposition, implicature, metaphors, and euphemisms. Historically, English emerged as the language of power in India under British rule and eventually became a global language with technological advancement.

There are four types of identity: master, interactive, personal, and relational. Language plays a role in national and cultural identity. The relationship between language and identity involves complex individual, social, and political factors. Power can be political, economic, or military. Language is one way that power is exercised through persuasion, regulation, inducement, or force. Politicians use language techniques like presupposition, implicature, metaphors, and euphemisms. English emerged as a language of power in Britain's colonies through imperial rule.

The Rising Issue of Too Many Vehicles
The streets in our cities are becoming increasingly congested as the number of private vehicles continues to rise at an alarming rate. With more cars, buses, trucks, and motorcycles crowding our limited road space every day, traffic jams have become a frustrating daily occurrence. This oversaturation of vehicles on our roads poses serious problems that need to be addressed.
One major issue caused by the proliferation of private vehicles is increased air and noise pollution. As more gasoline and diesel engines burn fuel while idling in traffic or searching for parking, harmful emissions like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter are
LANGUAGE IDENTITY; POWER AND POLITICS PPP_1 (1).pdf
This document discusses different views on the relationship between language, identity, power and politics. It begins by defining language as a system of communication and expression using words, gestures and symbols. Next, it explains how language helps form human identity and is a source of recognition. Several philosophers' views are presented, including that language is inherently political and used for nationhood and propaganda. Kachru and Tollesfan see language as a tool for manipulating minds and projecting culture. Crystal believes a language's power comes from the political and economic power of its speakers. Overall, the document examines how language shapes identity and can be used as a means of exercising and maintaining social and political power.

Kachru and others viewed language as a tool for manipulating minds and projecting a nation's culture and ideology. Tollesfan and Crystal believed language power is connected to a nation's political, economic and military power.
Intro to communication 1
This document defines communication and discusses its key elements and types. It begins by defining communication as the transfer of meaning between two or more people through various means. It then outlines the main functions, characteristics, elements, types, and networks of communication. Finally, it discusses potential barriers to communication such as physical, semantic, social, cultural and organizational barriers and how to overcome them.
Patrick henry and speech devices
This document provides an overview of key concepts related to Patrick Henry's famous "Speech in the Virginia Convention" during the American Revolution. It defines rhetorical devices like rhetorical questions, ethos, pathos, and logos that Henry used to sway his audience. The document also provides context on John Locke's beliefs, the mindset of the American colonists, and Patrick Henry's background and purpose in delivering this influential speech advocating for the start of the Revolution.
Speech Class #2 09 Copy
The document discusses the key elements that make up the rhetorical situation: the audience, speaker, occasion, and constraints/opportunities. It defines these components and provides examples to illustrate them. The audience is analyzed based on demographics, attitudes, beliefs, and values. The occasion considers time, place, purpose and type of speech. The speaker's credibility and delivery impact the speech. Constraints limit the speaker while opportunities allow promoting their message. Understanding all these elements is important for devising an effective speech strategy.
Nonverbal communication m sc. medical physiology
Nonverbal communication refers to communicating through actions, expressions, and appearances rather than words. There are seven main types of nonverbal behavior: proxemics (distance), tactile (touch), chronemics (time), kinesics (body movement), artifacts (appearance), vocalics (paralanguage), and oculesics (eye contact). Nonverbal communication plays an important role in expressing emotions, attitudes, accompanying speech, presenting one's personality, and participating in social rituals like greetings. Understanding nonverbal cues can improve communication, while barriers like ambiguous body language or facial expressions can inhibit it.
Types of communication
The document discusses various types of communication, including oral communication and non-verbal communication. It defines oral communication as the exchange of information through spoken word, either in person or electronically. It then describes different types of oral communication like face-to-face interactions, telephone calls, presentations. The document also covers merits and limitations of oral communication. It discusses various aspects of non-verbal communication including body language, facial expressions, proxemics, chronemics, and haptics. Barriers to communication like physical, psychological and organizational barriers are also summarized.
Language and identity[1]
The document discusses the relationship between language and identity. It explains that identity is multifaceted and expressed through factors like accent, vocabulary, and naming practices. How people address each other and what pronouns they use can indicate social relationships and group membership. Language use helps people both construct their own identities and categorize others as belonging to certain social groups or not. Identity involves complex interactions between individual, social, and political identities shaped by language.

When people speak, they produce sequences of words. When people listen or read, they also deal with sequences of words. Speakers systematically organize those sequences of words into phrases, clauses, and sentences.
The study of syntax involves discovering the cues that languages provide that show how words in sentences relate to one another.
The study of syntactic parsing involves discovering how comprehenders use those cues to determine how words in sentences relate to one another during the process of interpreting sentence.
Parsing means to breaking down a sentence into its component parts so that the meaning of the sentence can be understood.
This can either be the category of words (Nouns, Pronouns, verbs, adjectives. Etc.)
Or other elements such as verbs tense (present, past, future)
In a phrase structure tree, the labels, like NP, VP, and S, are called nodes and the connections between the different nodes form branches.
The patterns of nodes and branches show how the words in the sentence are grouped together to form phrases and clauses.

Saleem_Role of Media in Present Day Ecology A Corpus-Based Ecolinguistic Anal...E&S Education Department, KP
The term "ecolinguistics" gained prominence through the works of Michael Halliday, who in the 1990s underscored the necessity of applying linguistic analysis to environmental issues (Halliday, 1990). The field further evolved with contributions from scholars like Arran Stibbe, who emphasized the integration of ecological philosophy into linguistic analysis (Stibbe, 2015). The interdisciplinary nature of ecolinguistics has also been enriched by the works of researchers like Peter Mühlhäusler, who explored linguistic diversity's role in ecological understanding (Mühlhäusler, 1995).
Naess's ecosophy, often summarized by the phrase "Self-realization for all beings". This approach challenges anthropocentric views and calls for a radical restructuring of human societies based on principles of diversity, ecological compatibility, and decentralization (Naess & Rothenberg, 1989).
Anthropocentrism is a philosophy that emphasizes humankind as the central or most important element.
Ecocentrism emphasizes the intrinsic value of all living things, including humans but also animals, plants, water, soil, etc.
Norton and Hulme's (2019) analysis of climate change narratives in UK media indicates various stories that drive public discourse on climate change. The analysis emphasizes the diversity of climate change perspectives, as well as the shift in editorial focus toward a consensus on the need for technological solutions and adaptation measures, revealing the complex interplay between language, ideology, and environmental discourses.
Ecolinguistic analysis has been applied to various discourses, including animals (Glenn, 2004; Goatly, 2006; Stibbe, 2012a), advertising (Hogben, 2008; Slater, 2007), the concept of ‘nature’ (Hansen, 2006; Knight, 2010), natural resources (Kurz, Donaghue, & Rapley, 2005; Meisner, 2007), economics (Halliday, 2001; Stibbe, 2005), ecotourism (Milstein, 2008, 2011), environmentalism (Alexander, 2010; Benton & Short, 1999; Harre´, Brockmeier, & Muhlhausler, 1999), climate change (Doulton & Brown, 2009; Ihlen, 2009), energy (Russell et al., 2011), and sustainability (Kowalski, 2013). Ecolinguistic studies differ in complexity, scope, depth of investigation, and purpose.

M.saleem literature review
This literature review summarizes previous research on automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) and optimal handling unit size. Early works focused on storage assignment policies and order handling algorithms. Subsequent research used simulation and optimization techniques to model AS/RS design and throughput. Several studies examined optimal handling unit size for material handling and warehousing systems, incorporating size into multi-inventory models and demonstrating potential cost savings from using optimally sized containers. The review relates these findings and establishes the need to consider container size effects within AS/RS environments through analytical and simulation modeling.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

- 4. • The more you speak more languages, the more you understand about yourself. (Sandra) • The limits of my language are the limits of my world. (Ludwig) • Language is the blood of the soul into which thoughts run and out of which they grow. (Holmes) LANGUAGE
- 6. ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND POWER • Political power - power held by people with authority, such as politicians and the police. • Personal power - power based on an individual's occupation or role in society. For example, a professor would likely hold more power than a teaching assistant. • Social group power - power held by a group of people due to certain social factors, such as class, ethnicity, gender, or age. Shân Wareing (1999)
- 7. SUBDIVISION • Instrumental power • Influential power • People, or organizations, can hold instrumental power, influential power, or both.
- 8. INSTRUMENTAL POWER • Instrumental power is seen as authoritative power. Typically speaking, someone who has instrumental power has power simply because of who they are. These people do not have to convince anyone of their power or persuade anyone to listen to them; others must listen to them simply because of the authority they have. • Example • Government officials • Police
- 9. FEATURES • Formal register • Imperative sentences - giving requests, demands, or advice • Modal verbs - e.g., 'you should'; 'you must' • Mitigation - using language to reduce the seriousness of what is being said • Conditional sentences - e.g., ‘if you don’t respond soon, further action will be taken.’ • Declarative statements - Declaration
- 10. INFLUENTIAL POWER • Influential power refers to when a person (or group of people) does not have any authority but is trying to gain power and influence over others. Those who wish to gain influential power may use language to persuade others to believe in them or support them. • This type of power is often found in politics, the media, and marketing.
- 11. FEATURES • Assertions - presenting opinions as facts • Metaphors - the use of established metaphors can reassure the audience and evoke the power of memory, establishing a bond between the speaker and the listener. • Loaded language - language that can evoke strong emotions • Embedded assumptions - assuming the listener is really interested in what the speaker has to say
- 12. FEATURES OF LANGUAGE AND POWER
- 13. LEXICAL CHOICE • Emotive language - e.g., emotive adjectives use • Figurative language - e.g., metaphors, similes, and personification • Forms of address - someone with power may refer to others by their first names but expect to be addressed more formally, i.e., 'miss', 'sir', 'ma'am' etc.
- 14. GRAMMAR • Interrogatives - asking the listener/reader questions • Modal verbs - e.g., 'you should'; 'you must’ • Imperative sentences - commands or requests, e.g., 'vote now!'
- 15. PHONOLOGY • Alliteration - the repetition of letters or sounds • Assonance - the repetition of vowel sounds • Intonation - Rising and falling intonation
