The document discusses four types of language: tactful, tentative, rhetorical, and literary. Tactful language avoids hurting others' feelings when delivering negative information or criticism. Tentative language indicates hesitation or reluctance and can range from moderately to mostly developed. Rhetorical language is consciously chosen to convince or elicit emotion, as used by politicians and activists. Literary language aims to impress and engage through techniques like metaphor, simile, allusion, and personification, as seen in poetry, novels, and political speeches.

2. 1. Tactful

3. Tactful means to be sensitive, to avoid
hurting other people’s feeling.
This is very important when you are
giving bad news, introducing a
negative topic or criticizing someone.
e.g.
If you are tactful, you wouldn’t tell your
friend that food was awful in his
wedding, you’d talk about interesting
people you met and about the great
decoration.

4. “The serious minded result has many
super-cool moment. But when it gets
clunky, it’s super-meh.”
New York Daily’s review on
Man of Steel

5. In general tact is ‘indirectness linked
with fact’.

6. 2. Tentative

7. Tentative language shows an
indication of speaker’s reluctance
(hesitation, not willing).
It has a range :
I. It can be a little about being
moderately developed,
II. Or it can be mostly developed.
e.g. Someone may have murdered
Micheal Jackson.
Someone might just have murdered
MJ.

8. All interpretations made by a scientist
are hypotheses, and all hypotheses
are tentative. They must forever be
tested and they must be revised if
found to be unsatisfactory. Hence, a
change of mind in a scientist, and
particularly in a great scientist, is not
only not a sign of weakness but rather
evidence for continuing attention to
the respective problem and an ability
to test the hypothesis again and
again.
— Ernst Mayr
