Semantics is the study of how we construct and understand the meanings of words and groups of words (Denham and Lobeck, 2013). 1. SEMANTIC FIELDS AND HYPONYYM Semantic fields are classifications of words associated with their meanings (Denham & Lobeck, 2013). Since we are analyzing 2 different car advertisements, so the semantic field could possibly be CARS’ BRAND NAME. Under the field, we have two hyponyms which are Renault and Toyota. A hyponym is a word whose meaning is included, or…

of this law was to keep murderers, kidnappers, rapists, and molesters in prisons away from the society. However, in contrast, Stanford Three Strikes Projects (STSP) provides some examples of sentences for individuals who were sentenced under the Three Strikes law, “Project clients have been given life sentences for offenses including stealing one dollar in loose change from a parked car, possessing less than a gram of narcotics, and attempting to break into a soup kitchen” (Stanford Law School,…

average age of the participants was XX. Materials The participants were presented with 15 line-drawn images under two different conditions. One condition used word repetition to pair with an image, while the second used semantically elaborate sentence to produce an association connection between the images and words. Following the experiment, the participants were given three assessments to determine their ability to recall the correct word associated with each image. The recall trial…

Vocabulary (Vocabulary Enricher): 1. Explain to students that they will learn some harder vocabulary from chapter 5 by looking at a word and a photo that describes given word at a PowerPoint presented on the teacher’s iPad. 2. Ask the students to read a word silently and try to guess the meaning by determining what is on the picture. • Reluctant - feeling or showing doubt about doing something : not willing or eager to do something (page 41) • Weathervane - an object that is usually put on…

I believe that, when a person commits a crime, they should endure a punishment that fits the crime they committed. A thirteen year sentence for a crime that was not even completed seems outrageous to me. This boy had issues, and could have spent some time in a juvenile facility, which I believe would have gotten his attention. Then he would have been able to continue moving forward…

soldiers a voice other than the single exclamation of “Gas! Gas! Quick, boys!”, interrupting his vivid painting of the emotions of the soldiers. This is, as Mansur suggests, Owen’s only example of “inarticulate expression”. The combination of short sentences, imperatives and exclamation marks create a sense of frantic urgency as Owen describes how the soldiers rush to save their own lives and their comrades’. Owen wrote “Dulce et Decorum est” in response to Jessie Pope’s poem “Who’s for the…

cannot be known. They try to prove this point by quoting the Qur 'anic verse, "None knows the ‘Taweel ' excepting God." They stop here and make the succeeding part of the verse, "And those who are well-grounded in knowledge" the beginning of a new sentence. But the exponents of the ‘Taweel ' read the verse as a whole, "None knows the ‘Taweel ' of the Qur 'an excepting God and those who are well-grounded in knowledge." They treat the phrase, "Those who are well-grounded in knowledge" as an…

First, I would review our anchor chart on how to use context clues. While reading for the touchstone text for the second time, I would focus on the new target words. Whenever, the target word would appear in a sentence, I would read the entire sentence or a group of sentences around the word, before pausing. Then I would model a think aloud. Here is one example of my think aloud. This is the excerpt from the article: "What we can 't say from that is: What kind of food was it? Was it edible…

the short declarative sentence, “I am not a disease.” In transition from long, convoluted syntax, commonplace in paragraphs 18-21, to short declarative sentences, Mairs indicates resolute conviction. Mairs’ sentence structure prior to paragraph 22, evokes incessant anxiety and worry—particularly caused by what Mairs perceives as deviance from physical ideality. However, Mairs imparts a crescendo-like effect to offset her complex sentence structure with powerful simple sentences. This change in…
