Semantics

A

the meaning of a word, phrase, sentence, or text.

The meaning attached to a linguist unit (word or phrase)

the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning. There are a number of branches and subbranches of semantics, including formal semantics, which studies the logical aspects of meaning, such as sense, reference, implication, and logical form, lexical semantics, which studies word meanings and word relations, and conceptual semantics, which studies the cognitive structure of meaning.

Q

Pragmatics

A

The proper use of a certain type of language for a given situation

”This is a part of communicative competence that involves being able to use language in interpersonal relationships, taking into account such complexities as social distance and indirectness.

As an example of indirectness, consider the conversation:

A: How was the movie?

B: Well, the sound track was ok.

A second language learner may take that at face value not having the essential pragmatic knowledge that B is avoiding a direct answer because the direct answer is that the movie wasn’t good.

Pragmatic competence is thought to be difficult to teach and have serious real consequences for second language learners that include failing to get jobs and good grades.”

Q

Lexicon

A

The vocabulary of an individual or topic

Linguistic theories generally regard human languages as consisting of two parts: a lexicon, essentially a catalogue of a language’s words (its wordstock); and a grammar, a system of rules which allow for the combination of those words into meaningful sentences.

ELs tend to add an /e/ sound to the letter combinations /esc/ /esp/

Ex: Eschool vs. School

Or false cognates: ex. she choke with another car.

37
Q

Krashen

A

Hypothesized on the primary importance on the comprehensible input (CI) that LLs are exposed to.

Understanding spoken and written language input is seen as the only mechanism that results in the increase of underlying linguistic competence.

Learning is seen to be heavily dependent on the mood of the learner, with learning being impaired if the learner is under stress or does not want to learn the language, known as affective filter

37
Q

Cummins

Matrix to classify language activities

A

Quadrant 1: context embedded (many context clues) and cognitively undemanding (easy)

Doing a hands-on science experiment

Quadrant 4: context reduced (few context clues) and cognitively demanding (hard)

Writing reports and essays

Q

Affective filter

A

Learning is seen to be heavily dependent on the mood of the learner, with learning being impaired if the learner is under stress or does not want to learn the language
