This document discusses and compares implicit and explicit concepts. Implicit concepts store casual information and explain phenomena indirectly without being directly stated. Explicit concepts encode statistical, casual, syntactic, and definitional information needed for language processing and explicit cognition. Explicit concepts are directly stated without ambiguity while implicit concepts imply meaning through suggestion rather than direct statement.

Concept paper
This document discusses different ways to explain concepts, including definition, explication, and clarification. It provides examples of each. Students are assigned to identify a problem in their community and explain it using one of the three methods. They will analyze how concepts are explained in articles and choose a concept from their field of study to define. Assessment involves analyzing students' written work using a rubric focusing on style and use of language.
Text as a connected discourse
This document discusses the properties of well-written texts and techniques for organizing information. It identifies organization, coherence, cohesion, appropriate language use, and proper mechanics as key properties. Organization refers to arranging ideas in an introduction, body, and conclusion. Coherence is achieved through connections between ideas, while cohesion uses transitional words. Graphic organizers and outlining are presented as techniques to arrange ideas hierarchically and show relationships between them. Common patterns of development like narration and description are also discussed.

Critical Approaches: Types of Literary Criticism
The document discusses different approaches to literary criticism including formalist criticism, which examines the internal elements of a work like form and structure, deconstructionist criticism, which argues that language is unstable and meaning depends on opposition, and reader-response criticism, which views meaning as constructed through the interaction between reader and text rather than imposed by the author alone. Formalism looks at the work in isolation while deconstruction and reader-response theories emphasize the role of external contexts and the reader's interpretation. The different approaches analyze texts through different lenses and priorities.

Pragmatics and Discourse , context & speech acts
Pragmatics and Discourse
What is pragmatics?
An approach within DA which concentrates on the way language
acquires meaning in use. It has developed from the tradition of the
philosophy of language known as pragmatics.
Focus: The study of contextualised meaning and is concerned with
describing the principles that underlie how we interpret the meaning
behind words: how we get from what we say to what we mean.
Pragmatic approaches tend to be interested in the 'big picture': trying
to formulate generalisable principles about how people produce and
interpret discourse (eg’ the use of humour in business meetings’).
Context
Context is an important concept in DA. Language does not take place in a vacuum and we
need to consider the context in which it occurs in order to understand it.
However, this seemingly unproblematic statement masks the issues and debates that are
ongoing in discourse analysis around the concept of context and its significance.
Two types of context
The 'intrinsic' or 'linguistic' context which refers to information that can be found
within the text that surrounds the language that is being analysed at a particular
moment. It is generally agreed that this type of context is not only useful but essential.
The more problematic type of context lies outside the actual text: what is sometimes
called 'extrinsic' (Schegloff 1997) or 'experiential' context.
This refers to all sorts of information about setting, situation, social circumstances of the
participants such as age, gender, ethnicity and possibly also about the shared
background knowledge and assumptions of the participants.
So, in the example:
'Later, an item about vasectomy and the results of the do-it-yourself competition'
(from Cameron 2001:12)
 The issue with extrinsic context is moving from description to interpretation in
research. Along with describing 'what' is happening in the discourse , it is also
important to interpret 'why' it is happening.
 Extrinsic contextual evidence can be potentially very useful in discussing why
participants say a particular thing in a particular way at a particular time,
however, there is also a danger of 'reading too much into the text' and of
judging which out of many possible interpretations is the 'right' one.
For instance, if the analyst is aware of gender, age or ethic difference among
discourse participants, these variables may well appear to influence the
discourse but how do we know which of these particular variables are
important to the participants in an particular communicative event.
 This is not to say that we should ignore extrinsic context but to suggest that we
need to be cautious about what we select as significant and rigorous about how
we incorporate it into our analyses. Schegloff (1997) advises that the best
option is to use only what can be shown to be relevant to participants.
 Can you imagine a meaningful context for this text?
a. Which of you was the prawns?
Ways of knowing language summary
This document discusses several key aspects of language:
1. Language is rule-governed through grammar and vocabulary. Rules help determine meaning and structure.
2. Language is intended for communication, though not all communication is linguistic. Language conveys intended meanings.
3. Language is creative and open-ended. Its rules allow for new sentences and an infinite number of grammatically correct combinations, adding new words over time.
4. The nature and meaning of language involves interpretation and is problematic due to vagueness, ambiguity, and metaphorical/ironic uses that add layers of possible meanings.
Chapter 1 about semantics
This document provides an overview of semantics and outlines what will be covered in an introductory semantics course. The course will cover 10 units on topics like word and sentence meaning, reference and sense, referring expressions, and sense relations. It defines semantics as the study of meaning in language, including word meanings, sentence meanings, and how speakers understand each other. It notes some potential issues in studying meaning, like vagueness and how language relates to the world. It emphasizes that semantics describes rather than prescribes meaning and that speakers are the primary source of information about meaning. It defines the goal of a semantic theory as explaining a large number of basic meaning facts in a precise, coherent way.
A Contrastive Study of Interpretations of Metaphor from Pragmatic Perspective
A Contrastive Study of Interpretations of Metaphor from Pragmatic PerspectiveEnglish Literature and Language Review ELLR
Metaphor is a pervasive phenomenon, the study of metaphor is a complicated task, and the exploration of metaphor is still going on. This present paper attempts to interpret metaphor from pragmaticapproaches from the perspectives of Indirect Speech Act Theory, Conversational Implicature Theory and Relevance Theory respectively, aiming at making a contrastive study of these three interpretations and finding features including similarities and differences and limitations among them.Stylistics chapter 3 BY ALEXIS JOHN BENEDICTO
This document discusses the idea of language function and how it can help explain how utterances form coherent discourse even without formal links. The function of an utterance depends on who says it, who it's said to, and the context or situation. The same sentence can have different functions and meanings in different contexts between different people. Examining theories of pragmatics, which distinguishes semantic from pragmatic meaning, provides insights into the nature of coherence and challenges of communication for language learners.

3.3 Using Words Well
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Discuss how the process of abstraction and the creation of whole messages relate to language clarity.
2. Employ figurative and evocative language.
3. Identify strategies for using language ethically.
Have you ever gotten lost because someone gave you directions that didn’t make sense to you? Have you ever puzzled over the instructions for how to put something like a bookshelf or grill together? When people don’t use words well, there are consequences that range from mild annoyance to legal actions. When people do use words well, they can be inspiring and make us better people. In this section, we will learn how to use words well by using words clearly, using words affectively, and using words ethically.
Using Words Clearly
The level of clarity with which we speak varies depending on whom we talk to, the situation we’re in, and our own intentions and motives. We sometimes make a deliberate effort to speak as clearly as possible. We can indicate this concern for clarity nonverbally by slowing our rate and increasing our volume or verbally by saying, “Frankly…” or “Let me be clear…” Sometimes it can be difficult to speak clearly—for example, when we are speaking about something with which we are unfamiliar. Emotions and distractions can also interfere with our clarity. Being aware of the varying levels of abstraction within language can help us create clearer and more “whole” messages.
Level of Abstraction
The ladder of abstraction is a model used to illustrate how language can range from concrete to abstract. As we follow a concept up the ladder of abstraction, more and more of the “essence” of the original object is lost or left out, which leaves more room for interpretation, which can lead to misunderstanding. This process of abstracting, of leaving things out, allows us to communicate more effectively because it serves as a shorthand that keeps us from having a completely unmanageable language filled with millions of words—each referring to one specific thing.[1] But it requires us to use context and often other words to generate shared meaning. Some words are more directly related to a concept or idea than others. If I asked you to go take a picture of a book, you could do that. If I asked you to go and take a picture of “work,” you couldn’t because work is an abstract word that was developed to refer to any number of possibilities from the act of writing a book, to repairing an air conditioner, to fertilizing an organic garden. You could take a picture of any of those things, but you can’t take a picture of “work.”

Pragmatic3
The document provides an overview of Cognitive Linguistics, which emerged in the 1970s as an alternative to generative linguistics. It discusses three main approaches in Cognitive Linguistics: the Experiential view, Prominence view, and Attentional view. Key principles of Cognitive Linguistics are that language is grounded in human experience and conceptual categories reflect how people categorize the world based on perception and cognition. Meaning comes from human conceptualization rather than being defined objectively.
Scopes of linguistic description 2
This document discusses different perspectives on the nature and scope of linguistic description. It summarizes Chomsky's view that language is an innate cognitive ability and reflects universal features of the human mind. However, it also discusses alternative views that see language as serving social functions of communication and control. Specifically, it outlines Halliday's view that language has ideational, interpersonal, and textual functions. The document also discusses the need to view linguistic competence as including both abstract knowledge and the ability to use that knowledge communicatively according to social conventions. Finally, it defines the concepts of syntagmatic and paradigmatic relationships that describe how linguistic units combine horizontally in language.
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.
Theories of meaning
This document discusses several theories of meaning:
- Referential theory claims words refer to real objects, but some words like "nobody" have no referent.
- Use theory argues meaning depends on a word's conventional use rather than reference.
- Speech act theory proposes words can perform actions like promising or requesting.
- Hermeneutic theory interprets meaning through analyzing related concepts within a text.
- Postmodern theory rejects objective meanings and emphasizes context and interpretation.
Pragmatics
The document discusses two models of communication:
1) The message model, where the speaker encodes a message and the hearer decodes it. This model has problems with ambiguity, reference, intention, nonliteral meanings, and indirectness.
2) The inferential model, where communication relies on shared presumptions and inferential strategies. This model accounts for literal, nonliteral, and indirect language use through recognition of contextual appropriateness and inferences about the speaker's intention. Successful communication is recognizing the speaker's communicative intention.
Pragmaticspresentation 140705125246-phpapp02
Pragmatics is the study of how context contributes to meaning. It examines how language is used in social interactions and the effects of language choice. Pragmatics considers implied meanings, presuppositions, and conversational implicatures rather than just the literal meaning of words. It analyzes utterances as speech acts that serve functions like requests, complaints, promises. Pragmatics distinguishes between what is said and what is implied through maxims like quantity, quality, relation and manner proposed by Grice's cooperative principle.
Week 4.1 semantics student copy
Semantics is the study of meaning in language. A semantic theory aims to characterize speakers' knowledge of meaning at various levels - words, phrases, sentences. It must account for productivity and systematicity of language, and distinguish linguistic from encyclopedic knowledge. The theory should define meaning using a metalanguage without circularity, and distinguish literal from contextual/pragmatic meaning.
Language and critical thinking
Language and critical thinking are important for effective communication. There are four key areas of language: word choice, ambiguity, definition, and intensity. Word choice is important because the same words can have different meanings to different people or cultures. Ambiguity occurs when the meaning of words is unclear, which can lead to misunderstandings. Using precise definitions and understanding denotative and connotative meanings can help clarify the intended message. Considering these four areas of language can help improve critical thinking and effective communication across cultures.
Some problems of ambiguity in translation with reference to english and arabic
1. Ambiguity in translation refers to words, terms or concepts that have more than one possible meaning. This can cause unclear or misleading interpretations when translating between languages.
2. Some common causes of ambiguity include pronouns without clear referents, words with multiple meanings, and syntactic structures that can have more than one interpretation.
3. There are two main types of ambiguity - lexical, which occurs with individual words, and structural, which occurs with phrases or sentences that can have multiple syntactic structures. Identifying and addressing ambiguity is an important part of accurate translation.
Bruce Fink on 'Language and Otherness'
Bruce Fink argues that language emerges from the symbolic Other and that the unconscious is structured like a language. Everyday speech and free association in analysis demonstrate that subjects are unable to fully control what they say and often say more or less than their conscious intentions. This gap between intention and speech is where the unconscious emerges and shows that subjects are not always the sole agents of their own speech. The relationship between the subject, language, and the Other's desires must be explored in analysis to help subjects differentiate their own desires from those imposed by Others through language.
Proposal semantics hyponim
This document provides definitions and background information on semantics, linguistics, and language. It discusses semantics as the study of meaning in language and how it relates to other fields like phonology and syntax. Linguistics is defined as the systematic study of language, including its structures, uses, development, and acquisition. Key points made include:
- Semantics studies the objective, conventional meanings of words, phrases, and sentences.
- Linguistics examines all aspects of language from sounds to meanings to uses.
- Language is an important tool for human communication and expression that contains cultural knowledge and experiences.
Unit 7 - Deixis and Definiteness
This document discusses deixis and definiteness in language. It defines deictic words as words that take on meaning based on the context of the utterance, such as pronouns. Definiteness refers to whether a noun phrase assumes the listener can identify its referent based on the context. The use of definite and indefinite articles and expressions helps establish and refer to entities in the conversation context. Deixis allows language to be portable across situations by anchoring word meanings to utterance context.

Philippine contemporary art
Contemporary art in the Philippines reflects the country's diverse identity and complex social issues. Filipino artists portray subjects and use mediums in innovative ways that express Philippine culture and history, which has been influenced by colonial powers. A key contemporary artist, Ronald Ventura, is known for paintings that blend styles like realism and graffiti in layers that represent the multifaceted Philippine identity. Contemporary architecture has also emerged with a Filipino style seen in modernized traditional forms. A pioneer in landscape architecture, Ildefonso Santos designed parks and outdoor spaces that incorporated local plants and design elements. Philippine sculpture also continues traditions from ancestral carvings while adapting to modern themes.
Physical Properties of solution
A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of a solute dissolved in a solvent. The solute is the minority component that is dissolved, while the solvent makes up the majority of the solution. Solutions can be classified based on the physical states involved, such as liquid solutions which are the most common. The concentration of a solution describes how much solute is present and can be expressed in terms such as molarity. Properties like vapor pressure, boiling point, and freezing point are influenced by the presence of solute particles in colligative properties.
Chemical kinetics
This document discusses chemical kinetics, which is the study of reaction rates and how fast chemical reactions occur. It explains that the rate of a reaction depends on factors like reactant concentration, temperature, catalysts, and surface area. Reaction rates are measured by changes in concentration over time. The rate law relates the reaction rate to reactant concentrations and concentrations raised to their order of reaction. Collision theory states that for reactions to occur, reactant particles must collide with sufficient energy and proper orientation. Catalysts increase reaction rates by lowering activation energy or increasing effective collisions. Types of catalysts include enzymes and heterogeneous catalysts.
Thermochemistry
The document discusses key concepts in thermochemistry including:
- Exothermic and endothermic processes that release or absorb heat during chemical reactions.
- Calorimetry, the process of measuring heat changes using devices called calorimeters.
- The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed from one form to another.
- Enthalpy, the heat content of a system, and how thermochemical equations are used to express energy changes in chemical reactions.
- Standard enthalpy of formation and reaction, and Hess's law which describes how the energy change in an overall reaction is the same regardless of
Intermolecular Forces
This document provides an overview of intermolecular forces, liquids, solids, and phase changes. It discusses topics such as the kinetic molecular model of liquids and solids, different types of intermolecular forces (dipole-dipole, ion-dipole, hydrogen bonding, dispersion), properties of liquids influenced by intermolecular forces, and phase diagrams. The document also examines the structure and properties of water, types of solids including crystalline and amorphous, and characteristics of molecular, ionic, metallic and network solids.
Motion information and media
Motion media refers to visual media that gives the appearance of movement, such as videos, animations, and films. It combines elements like graphics, footage, audio, text, and interactivity. Motion media has various applications for personal, social media, and commercial use by media companies. It allows for communicating messages to large audiences simultaneously through television or online. Formats include videos, films, animations, documentaries, and interactive videos. Motion media makes use of techniques like speed, direction, timing, transitions, sound, and color to convey meaning through movement.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Types of concept paper
- 1. TYPES OF CONCEPT PAPER
- 2. Implicit concept Related to what psychologist call prototypes, its purpose is to store casual information, which traditional prototype theories leave out, and because a lot of traditional prototypes theories are formulated in ways that recommend they contain explicit information. And implicit explains one range of phenomena.
- 3. The term implicit is used to express something indirectly or implied. This means that the scenario under consideration has not been stated. Something is explicit when people cannot understand it because it is not directly stated but is either suggested in the wording. Sentence example; He implicitly said he likes yellow trousers by saying she loves all colors but white. In the sentence above, the man states that he likes all trouser colors but white. While he does not directly say he loves yellow trousers, he implicitly does because yellow is not white.
- 4. explicit concept May encode statistical and casual information, but more significantly, they may encode syntactic information, definitional information, and no matter what is needed for the language faculty to process them. Explicit concepts are essential for explicit cognition – the distinctively human ability to use language, represent unobservable, nonexistent, abstract, and ad hoc aspects of the world, and conduct linguistic inferences. Explicit concept explains a separate range of phenomena.
- 5. Explicit is used to define a situation that has been thoroughly elaborated and expressed without leaving anything untouched. Something is said to be explicit when there is no room for confusion when performing a specific task. Sentence example; The teacher was explicit on who should be punished. The word explicit has been used in the above sentence to demonstrate something that has been clearly and unambiguously expressed.
- 6. From the definition of explicit and implicit, the difference in the description of the two terms can be detected. Implicit is used to express the implied meaning that does not exist. The meaning of an implicit sentence is suggested and does not exist. On the other hand, explicitly expresses the actual meaning of the sentence. This means that anything that is communicated by an explicit phrase is the direct meaning that is correctly stated without any ambiguity.
