Reciprocal Pronoun
A reciprocal pronoun is used to indicate that two or
more people are carrying out or have carried out an action of some type, with
both receiving the benefits or consequences of that action simultaneously. Any
time something is done or given in return, reciprocal pronouns are used.
There
are only two reciprocal pronouns.
Each other
One another
Use:
There...
Reference
In semantics, reference
is generally construed as the relationships between nouns or pronouns and
objects that are named by them. Hence, the word "John"
refers to the person John. The word "it" refers to some previously
specified object.
The object referred to is called the referent of
the word. Sometimes the word-object relation...
Reflexive Vs. Intensive Pronouns
An intensive pronoun is almost identical to a reflexive pronoun. It is defined as a pronoun that ends in self or selves and places emphasis on
its antecedent by referring back to another noun or pronoun used earlier
in the sentence
You can tell the difference between a reflexive pronoun and an intensive
pronoun easily: Intensive pronouns...
Regular Verbs
A regular verb is one that conforms to the usual rule for forming its
simple past tense and its past participle. A regular verb is any verb whose conjugation follows the typical
pattern, or one of the typical patterns, of the language to which it belongs.
With the exception of the highly irregular verb be, an English verb can
have up to five forms: its plain form...
Relative Pronoun
A relative pronoun is one, which is used to refer to nouns mentioned
previously, whether they are people, places, things, animals, or ideas.
Relative pronouns can be used to join two sentences.
There are only a few relative pronouns in the English language. The most
common are which, that, whose, whoever, whomever, who, and whom. In some
situations, the words what, when,...
Rhythm
In linguistics, rhythm or isochrony is one of the
three aspects of prosody, along with stress and intonation.
Languages can be categorized according to whether they are syllable-timed,
mora-timed, or stress-timed.
Speakers of syllable-timed
languages such as Spanish and Cantonese put roughly equal
time on each syllable; in contrast, speakers of stressed-timed languages such
as English and Mandarin...
Root
A root, or a root word, is a word that does not
have a prefix in front of the word or a suffix at the end of the word.
The root
word is the primary lexical unit of a word, and of a word
family (root is then called base word), which carries the most significant
aspects of semantic content and cannot be reduced into smaller
constituents.
Content...
Semiotics
It is the study of meaning-making,
the study of sign processes and meaningful communication. This includes the
study of signs and sign
processes (semiosis), indication,
designation, likeness, analogy, allegory, metonymy, metaphor symbolism, signification, and communication
The semiotic tradition explores the
study of signs and symbols as a significant part of communications. As
different from linguistics, however,...
Sense
In linguistics, a word sense is one of the meanings of a word.
For example, a dictionary may have over 50 different senses of
the word play, each of
these having a different meaning based on the context of the word's usage in a sentence,
as follows:
·
We went to see the play Romeo and Juliet at the theater.
·
The...
Speech Act
A speech act in linguistics and
the philosophy of language is an utterance that has performative
function in language and communication.
According to Kent
Bach, "almost any speech act is really the performance of several acts at
once, distinguished by different aspects of the speaker's intention: there is
the act of saying something, what one does in saying it, such as requesting or
promising, and how...
Speech Circuit
Allows
us to transmit information, if the circuit does not work properly we will not
be able to communicate. The speech circuit has the following components:
•
Medium / Channel: The communication process using this code requires a channel
for the transmission of the signals. The Channel would be the physical medium
through which communication is transmitted.
•
Code: It...
Stranding
Traditional grammatical rules say
that we should not have a preposition at the end of a clause or sentence.
However, we sometimes do separate a preposition from the words which follow it
(its complement). This is called preposition stranding, and it is common
in informal styles:
- She was someone to whom he could talk. (formal)
- She was someone who he...
Subject Pronoun
A subject pronoun is exactly what it sounds like: a pronoun that takes
the place of a noun as the subject of a sentence. Remember, a sentence’s
subject is the person or thing that performs the action of a verb. When you
take an even closer look, you’ll see that a subject pronoun is used as the
subject of a verb, while an object pronoun is usually used as a grammatical
object.
Subject...
Superlative Adjectives
Superlative
adjectives express the greatest increase or decrease of the quality; it conveys
the supreme value of the noun in question.
For instance, 'He is the richest man
in this town'. Here, the word 'richest' is the superlative adjective which
shows a comparison individually.
Mary is the tallest of all the students.
I am...
Synonym
A synonym is a
word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase
in the same language. Words that are synonyms are said to be synonymous, and the state of being a
synonym is called synonymy.
Examples of synonyms are the words begin, start, commence,
and initiate.
Words can be synonymous...
Uncountable Nouns
Some nouns are not countable and are called uncountable nouns or mass
nouns.
For example, the word clutter
is a mass noun.
That garage is full of clutter.
This sentence makes grammatical sense.
However, the following example does not.
That garage is full of clutters.
Mass nouns cannot take plural forms.
Substances, liquids, and powders are entities...
Utterance
In spoken language analysis an utterance is a
smallest unit of speech. It is a continuous piece of speech beginning and
ending with a clear pause. In the case of oral languages, it is generally
but not always bounded by silence.
Utterances do not exist in written language,
only their representations do. They can be represented and delineated in written
language in many ways.
In oral/spoken language...

Verb
A verb, from the Latin verbum meaning word,
is a word (part of speech) that in syntax conveys an action (bring, read, walk, run, learn),
an occurrence (happen, become),
or a state of being (be, exist, stand).
In the usual description of English, the basic form, with or without the particle to,...
Vocal apparatus
The human vocal apparatus is like two kinds of musical
instruments at once: a wind instrument and a string instrument. This apparatus
includes a source of wind (the lungs), components that vibrate (the vocal cords
in the larynx), and a series of resonant chambers (the pharynx, the mouth, and
the nasal cavities).
The first component
of this apparatus is the lungs...
