This document discusses various aspects of verbal communication and language. It explores the differences between formal and informal language use. It also examines how relationships frame the meaning of language through cultural assumptions and context. Finally, it analyzes how language creates frames through naming, how words can have multiple meanings, and how speech style and narratives are used to present identity and relationships.
the study of language use
the study of linguistic phenomena from the point of view of their usage properties and processes (Verschueren, 1999).
the study of meaning in interaction (Thomas, 1995)
The linguistic phenomena to be studied from the point of view of their usage can be situated at any level of structure. The question pragmatics asks is: How are the language resources used?
example: The level of speech sounds: Most speakers of languages with a significant degree of dialectal variation, who have grown up with a local dialect but who were socialised into the use of a standard variety through formal education, will find that the language they use sounds quite different depending on whether they are in their professional context or speaking to their parents or siblings.

The process of using wordless messages to generate is called Non-verbal Communication. A good communicator must be able to augment his/her verbal communication with the right non-verbal communication.
The presentation explains topics on study of language, applications on natural language processing, levels of language analysis, representation and understanding, linguistic background and elements of a simple noun phrase

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
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.

3. Focus Questions
• What are the differences between grammatical
language and talk in everyday use?
• What frames your understanding of talk and gives it
meaning?
• What values are hidden in the speech you use?
• How does everyday talk use relationships to frame
meanings?
• How do different types of talk work, and how do they
connect to relationships?
• What is talk style and how does it frame meaning?
4. Understanding Meanings
• Relationships frame the meaning of talk
– Langue – formal, grammatically structured
language use
– Parole – informal, everyday use of talk (includes
familiarity, context, and cultural assumptions)
6. Polysemy
• Multiple meanings for the same symbol
• A feature of all communication
• Meanings are constantly changing, creating
ambiguity and uncertainty
• Frames give “clues” to meaning
7. Language Creates Frames
• Naming
– Arbitrary
– Natural
– Makes crucial distinctions
– Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis
• We can only know what we can name.
9. Language Creates Frames

10. Types of Verbal Meanings
• Denotative – use of talk to identify or define
objects
• Connotative – use of talk to establish and
understand the implications and deeper
meanings of words
11. Intentionality Frame
• Intentionality – the belief that messages
indicate a sender’s purposeful intentions
• Relationships help us understand intentions
based on our personal knowledge of others
12. Words and Values
• Words carry evaluations and present our
values to others
– God terms – powerful terms that are viewed
positively
– Devil terms – powerful terms that are viewed
negatively
13. Functions of Talk in Relationships
• Instrumental – to make something happen;
reveals a goal
• Indexical – to indicate something about the
relationship; content and relational elements
– Hypertext – coded messages
• Essential – to create the ‘reality’ of the
relationship
– immediacy
– Politeness
– Face wants
14. Ways of Speaking
• High-code and low-code
• Speech style
– Delivering content about the topic
– Presenting yourself as a particular sort of person
– Indexing a particular sort of relationship
• Accommodation
– Convergence – moves toward others
– Divergence – moves away from others
15. Narratives
• Organized story that has a plot, an argument
or a theme
• Homo narrans – human as storyteller
• Use elaborate frames to argue an identity of
the storyteller and the relationship between
the teller and the listener
• Report events and offer justifications for “right
action”
Occurs within, and serves to create a set of assumptions about the culture and what works within it justice, responsibility and free will the speaker’s personality and characteraudience characteristics
