Labyrinthine Syntax

Improved Essays
This exhausting life that I'm currently managing through can only be revealed by the labyrinthine syntax enlisting my busy schedule routine. This daily act has been going on for years and years and hopefully one day by the help of syntax structures, I will be able to cut my routine in half. Or indeed, start of with new sentences to improvise it. With darkness reigning over the atmosphere, I pay no attention to loudness of my alarm clock. Being lazy as always, I continue to sleep soundly as I lay on the bed like a dead corpse meanwhile missing several alarms. Five-thirty and I'm still asleep, six o'clock and still nothing. At six forty- five for some reason is the time I decide to show some sign that I'm alive and somewhat awake.

    The author’s syntax moves from a sense of Paret’s unpredictable defeat to an order of events creating a suspense and finally, to an extended complex sentence . In the beginning, the paragraph starts off with declarative sentences as it describes the protagonist in this case, Benny Paret. As Benny Paret’s information is being distributed to the audience, the use of periodic sentence, slowly transitions to the main idea and to fully make sense of the overall passage. Rather than announcing right away the death of Paret the author does not announce it until the very end to allow the audience to keep reading. In the middle the syntax begins it order of events creating a suspense through the combination of several short and long sentences.…

    The Crucible, a historical fiction play written by Arthur Miller, focusses on the horrific Salem Witch Trials that ran rampage in 1692. The disastrous events which took place shattered the Puritan society, and destroyed many of the religious values that the Puritans hold so dear.

Miller uses a plethora of these devices in order to make readers feel as if they are actually in the 1690s, however, the most prominent devices are syntax and diction, and biblical allusions. The syntax and diction that Arthur Miller uses in The Crucible tricks readers into thinking that they are actually reading a piece from the 1600s.…

    According to Bruce Trigger (2003; 92), “city-states were relatively small polities, each consisting of an urban core surrounded by farmland containing smaller units of settlement. In territorial states a ruler governed a larger region through a multileveled hierarchy of provincial and local administrators in a corresponding hierarchy of administrative centers.” A civilization is far larger than a city state and territorial state in both land and population, it also has a large surplus of food, stratified social ranks, and coerced tribute (otherwise known as taxes). There are differing positions about whether city states or territorial states came first.…

    1.Definition of Ambiguity Ambiguity, as is defines in the Webster’s Third International Dictionary, is”the condition of admitting of two or more meanings, of being understood in more than one way, or of referring to two of more things at the same time.” In ordinary books on linguistics, the term is generally defined roughly as a linguistic phenomenon that a word, phrase or clause can have more than one possible interpretation. It is thus an attribute of any idea or statement whose intended meaning cannot be definitively resolved according to a rule or process with a finite number of steps. In ambiguity, specific and distinct interpretations are permitted (although some may not be immediately obvious), whereas with information that is vague,…
