Groupings of Words Words can be grouped together into lexico-semantic fields on the basis of their shared meanings that can be of the following types: similar opposite included different Hence, synonymic, antonymic, hyponymic and homonymic lexico- semantic fields or groups of words should be distinguished. Synonymy deals with sameness of meaning. Antonymy deals with oppositeness of meaning. Hyponymy refers to the words in which the meaning of one word is included in the meaning of another word. Homonymy deals with different words that are pronounced and/or spelled in the same way.
10
Groupings of Words: Synonymy
Synonymy deals with sameness of meaning. Synonyms are words conveying the same notion but differing either in shades (elements) of meaning or in stylistic characteristics . synonyms may belong to the same part of speech (cf., ridiculous, absurd, inane) or formed by words of different word-classes (cf.,; sleeping, sleep time, to sleep).
11
Groupings of Words: Synonymy (pp. 146 – 148)
Examples: to begin – to start – to – commence (stylistic differences) to tremble - to shiver (from cold) - to shudder (from disgust) (difference in shades of meanings). Synonyms may differ in the way of building word- combinations: to answer (a question) – to reply to (a question); to finish (school) – to graduate from (University); to offer (a concrete thing) – to suggest (an idea).
12
Groupings of Words: Synonymy . Synonymic Dominant
Each synonymic group has a dominant element called the synonymic dominant - the most general term potentially containing the specific features rendered by all the other members of the group, cf.: to tremble – to shiver – to shudder. The synonymic dominant has the following features: 1. high frequency of usage; 2. broad combinability, i.e., an ability of a word to be used in combinations with various classes of words; 3. broad general meaning; 4. lack of connotations (to ask – to inquire – to question – to interrogate )
13
Groupings of Words: Synonymy . Types of Synonyms
V. Vinogradov (1953) established the following classification of synonyms: ideographic, stylistic, ideographic-stylistic, contextual, absolute (total) synonyms.
14
Groupings of Words: Synonymy . Types of Synonyms
Ideographic synonyms are words conveying the same notion but differing in denotations, cf.: a piece – a lump – a slice, to tremble – to shiver – to shudder, anger – fury. Stylistic synonyms are words conveying the same notion but differing in stylistic connotations, cf.: to try – to endeavor (bookish), to see – to behold (archaic), sky – heaven (poetic), a horse – a steed (poetic).
15
Groupings of Words: Synonymy . Types of Synonyms
Ideographic-stylistic synonyms differ in semantics, emotional coloring and stylistic references, cf., to say – to pronounce, a head – an onion, money – cabbage. Contextual synonyms are similar only under some specific conditions, cf., negative forms: can’t stand it – can’t suffer it – can’t bear it. Absolute (total) synonyms are words coinciding in their semantics and stylistic characteristics (terms) cf., a noun – a substantive; an inflection – an ending; an oculist – an eye-specialist.
16
Groupings of Words: Synonymy . Sources of Synonymy
Borrowings from different languages (Latin, French, Italian, etc.): beautiful (Fr) – fair (E); to begin (E) – to commence (Fr) – to initiate (Lat). Variants in American and British English: elevator - lift, sidewalk – pavement, sweets – candy, cookie – biscuit, apartment – flat, butty – sandwich, heartsome – cheering, snap – packed lunch; Different styles, technical terms, slang: cordial – heart, optic – eye, lexeme – word, orthography – spelling, phoneme – sound; Euphemistic and dysphemistic expressions (see next slide)
17
Groupings of Words: Synonymy . Euphemisms, Dysphemisms
Euphemisms are synonymic words used to avoid direct unpleasant, improper or offensive things. Dysphemisms are offensive words and expressions that are substituted for inoffensive words. Sources of euphemisms and dysphemisms are various religious and social taboos, examples: a) Lord; the Maker; Goodness! Good Lord! the Prince of darkness, Old Nick; to depart this life, to be taken, to go to a better world, etc. b) W.C., gentlemen’s room, ladies’ room; to wash one’s hands, etc. c) merry, tipsy, fresh, full, drunk as a Lord, soaked, stewed, boiled, pickled, canned, half-seas-over, intoxicated, etc. d) a liar – an untruthful man, a stupid man - not exactly brilliant; naked – in one’s birthday shirt; sweat - perspiration, etc.
18
Groupings of Words: Antonymy
Antonymy deals with oppositeness of meaning. Antonyms (opposites) are words that possess contrasting meanings. Antonymy is very typical of adjectives because qualitative characteristics are easily compared, while verbs and nouns are not rich in antonyms. Like synonyms they are interchangeable in the context, they have the same functions and grammatical meaning and are mostly found within one word-class. Unlike synonyms they do not differ in style, dialect and emotional coloring.
19
Groupings of Words: Antonyms. Morphological Characteristics
Most of the antonyms have unrelated morphological forms: good or bad, big or small, tall or short, etc. But there also exist words that form morphologically related pairs derived by means of negative or opposable prefixes and suffixes, cf.: pleasant and unpleasant, logical and illogical, rational and irrational, hopeful and hopeless, etc.
20
Groupings of Words: Antonyms. Types of antonyms
Antonyms are generally divided into 4 types: gradable antonyms, complementary antonyms, conversive antonyms, directional antonyms.
21
Groupings of Words: Antonyms. Types of antonyms (cont)
1. Gradable antonyms are predominantly adjectives that denote qualities subject to classification : high – low, hot – cold, narrow – wide (narrow – narrower – narrowest); Gradable antonyms usually describe properties in comparison to other properties: short – tall (in comparison to other people). 2. Complementary (contradictory) antonyms appear when the denial, negation of one of the members of the pair applies the assessment (are equivalent) of the other one: male – female, dead – alive, aunt – uncle; Complementary antonyms do not allow middle values, any logical middle term: clean – dirty, dry – wet.
22
Groupings of Words: Antonyms. Types of antonyms (cont)
3. Conversive antonyms appear in a set of words when one member of the pair is referred to the other member: to send - to receive, to take – to give, to buy – to sell. Conversives (converses; relational opposites) represent opposite perspectives of the same relations: husband – wife, aunt – niece, nephew, father - son. One of the converses cannot be used without suggesting the other. In most of the cases they express social roles (teacher – student) or kinship relations (father – mother). 4. Directional antonyms, generally adverbs and prepositions, that indicate opposite spatial directions: up – down, in – out. A subtype of directional opposites is called “reversive” opposites – words that describe two phenomena indicated by opposite directions of development: marry – divorce, enter – leave, appear – disappear.
23
Groupings of Words: Antonyms
Groupings of Words: Antonyms. Practical Give antonyms to the following words and define their types: Wife, right, wide, shallow, feminine, to send, to give, to laugh, to open, to accept, quickly, old, merry, optimist, stranger, talkative, clever, empty, enemy (Attention: A polysemantic word may have several antonyms for each of its meanings: dull – interesting, dull - clever, dull – active; light – heavy, light - strong, light – dark)
24
Groupings of Words: Hyponymy
Hyponymy refers to the semantic relations of generality and inclusion, cf.: flower: rose, tulip, carnation, forget-me-not. A more specific term is included in the member of a more general meaning: meat: pork, mutton, beef; bird: swallow, sparrow, blue tit, blackbird, sea-gull, stork, etc. A word with a general meaning is called a super-ordinate term or hyperonym (flower, meat, bird). A word with a specific meaning is called a hyponym (rose, tulip, carnation, forget-me-not; pork, mutton, beef; swallow, sparrow, blue tit, blackbird, sea-gull, stork). Words that are in equal relations are called equanemes (pork – mutton – beef). cf., in a word set star – sun – nova, star is a super-ordinate, sun and nova are hyponyms to the super-ordinate and equanemes to each other. (A flower, furniture, a bird, a mammal, an insect, a bug)
25
Groupings of Words: Homonyms
Homonymy deals with different words that are pronounced and/or spelled in the same way. Homonyms are words that are identical in their sound form and spelling, but are different in their meanings, cf., bank 1 – “an artificial embankment”, bank 2 – “a business establishment authorized to perform financial transactions”, bank 3 – “a set of similar things arranged in a row”; band 1 – “a thin strip of flexible material”, band 2 – “a group of musicians who play together”.
26
Groupings of Words: Homonyms
Homonyms are accidental creations and their existence leads to confusion and misunderstanding of communication. Sometimes homonyms are used to create humorous situations that are called “a pun” - a joke based upon the play of words: - “What’s this, waiter?” – “It’s bean soup, sir” – “Never mind what it has been. I want to know what it is now (G.B. Antrushina, 1985). Homonyms have specific morphological and lexico-grammatical features. Morphologically, homonyms may be subdivided into several groups: homonyms proper, homophones, and homographs.
27
Groupings of Words: Homonyms. Morphological features
Morphologically: homonyms proper, homophones, and homographs. Homonyms proper are words that are the same in sound and spelling: fit 1 – “perfectly fitting clothes”, fit 2 – “a nervous spasm”. Homophones are identical in a sound form but differ in spelling: night - knight, piece - peace, scent – cent - sent, sea – see – C; bee – B. Homographs are words that are identical in spelling but differ in their sound form: bow [bau] – [bou], lead [li:d] – [led].
28
Groupings of Words: Homonyms. Lexico-grammatical features
Some of the homonyms belong to the same part of speech, others - to different word classes, cf.: a match 1 – “a game” (noun) and a match 2 – “a narrow strip of flammable material” (noun); to tear 1 - “to pull apart or into pieces” (verb) and a tear 2 - “a drop of the clear salty liquid” (noun); staunch 1 – “loyal, firm, dependable” (adjective) and staunch 2 – “to stop flowing” (verb). Lexico-grammatically, homonyms may be classified into two classes: full homonyms and partial homonyms.
29
Groupings of Words: Homonyms. Full homonyms
Lexico-grammatically: full homonyms and partial homonyms. Full homonyms have the same category of parts of speech and identical paradigm: a bay 1 – “a body of water partly enclosed by land” (noun), a bay 2 – “a deep prolonged barking” (noun), a bay 3 – “a laurel with stiff, aromatic leaves” (noun). Partial homonyms split into 2 types: Partial lexical homonyms and Partial lexico-grammatical homonyms.
30
Groupings of Words: Homonyms. Partial homonyms
partial lexical and partial lexico-grammatical homonyms. Partial lexical homonyms are words that belong to the same word class but are identical only in their corresponding forms: to lie (lay, lain) – to lie (lied, lied) (V) to can (canned, canned) – can (could) (V) to hang (hung, hung) – to hang (hanged, hanged) (V) Partial lexico-grammatical homonyms may be simple and complex.
31
Groupings of Words: Homonyms. Partial homonyms
Partial lexico-grammatical homonyms: simple and complex. Simple lexico-grammatical partial homonyms are words that belong to the same word class and have one identical form in their paradigms, but it is not the same form: found 1 - “to establish” (V), found 2 – Past Indefinite of the verb to find (V). Complex lexico-grammatical partial homonyms are words that belong to different parts of speech and have one identical form in their paradigms: a rose 1 (noun) – rose 2 (Past Indefinite of the verb to rise), left 1 (adjective) – left 2 (Past Indefinite of the verb to leave).
32
Groupings of Words: Homonyms. Full Classification
Morphologically, homonyms may be subdivided into 3 groups: homonyms proper homophones homographs Lexico-grammatically, homonyms may be classified into 2 classes: full homonyms partial homonyms: 1) Partial lexical homonyms and 2) Partial lexico-grammatical homonyms: a) simple partial lexico-grammatical homonyms b) complex partial lexico-grammatical homonyms

35
Nature of Semantic Change: Development of Meaning
Meanings of words are never stable. They change. The change of meaning has 3 aspects: causes of semantic change, nature of semantic change, results of semantic change. Causes of semantic change answer the question why the word changed its meaning; Nature of semantic change explains how different changes of meaning took place; Results of semantic change show what has changed.
36
Nature of Semantic Change
Semantic changes are based on associations between 2 meanings: the old meaning and a new one. The process of development of a new meaning is called “transference of meaning”. There exist 2 types of transference of meanings: similarity of meaning, and contiguity of meaning.
37
Nature of Semantic Change: Metaphor. Similarity of Meanings
Metaphor is a transference of meanings based on their resemblance or similarity; It’s association of 2 objects, one of which in some way resembles the other. There exist various kinds of similarities: physical properties of human beings and objects (or vise versa); specific features of character or behavior of animals and birds to denote human qualities; resemblance of properties of a concrete object and an abstract notion (examples: see the textbook)
38
Metaphor: Task 3 Explain metaphors in the following words:
a green bush – a green apple – a green man – green with envy, fruitful tree – a fruitful work, a blooming flower – a blooming health, wings of a bird – wings of an airplane – wings of a mill – wings of joy, leg of a table – leg of a man, bitter cucumbers – bitter thoughts, sour milk – sour smile, warm weather – warm sympathy, hot temperature – hot forehead – hot words – hot jobs
39
Nature of Semantic Change: Metonymy. Contiguity of Meanings
Metonymy is based on the contiguity of meanings. It is an association of different relations of objects The simplest case of metonymy is called synecdoche (examples: see the textbook)
40
Metonymy: Task 4 Explain the use of metonymy in the following sentences
A well-known soprano was singing “Annie Laurie” (A. Christie) Pint of butter, please. His son was away at Cambridge. A blue china was standing on the table. He married a good inheritance and was quite satisfied. A thin elderly woman came out of number 14 (A. Christie) The Rolls Royce is waiting for you to take you to the yacht (E. Stuckly). I had some silver in my purse. School began in September. Use your eyes, use your ears, use you brain – if you’ve got any. And if necessary – act. (A. Christie) Voices, voices. Everywhere you looked were eyes, hands, mouths… (E. Courtney)
41
Metaphor vs Metonymy: Task 5 Pick out cases of metaphor and metonymy in the following sentences and define types of transference of their meanings: Guests can be introduced to our table. I noticed a bright steak of sun on the wall. At dinner he saw a new face. He dived under the bed and fished out another bottle. (S. Maugham) His heart danced with him. (S. Maugham) Phillip was all ears. (S. Maugham) I told him that sherry, hock and burgundy were being served. (A. Christie) We, Englishmen, do not parade our emotions. (A. Christie) At eye level on the white wall facing the desk was a small Renoir (M. Miller). Silk suits you. Suddenly, her eyes danced (A. Christie). The porter can’t throw any fresh light upon the matter. All is so dark to us in this matter. 16. I froze there to listen to those old hats.
42
Functional Styles Functional style is understood as a system of expressive means peculiar to a specific sphere of communication (I.V. Arnold, 1974) All the circumstances may be divided into 2 types: formal and informal. Accordingly, 2 Functional styles are distinguished: Formal Functional style, and Informal Functional styles.
43
Functional Styles. Informal FS
Informal words are traditionally divided into the following types: colloquial words, cant, jargon, argot, vulgarisms, slang, and dialect words.
44
Functional Styles: Informal FS. Colloquial Words
Colloquialisms are familiar words and idioms used in informal speech and writing. They are not common for polite conversation or business correspondence. They are used to emphasize informality and familiarity of a social situation. They are: shortenings: an exam, a fridge, a flu; phrasal verbs: to make up, to pick up, to go on; colloquial equivalents of common words: a girl (a woman of any age), to kick the bucket (to die). There are three layers of colloquial words: literary colloquial, familiar colloquial and low colloquial words.
45
Functional Styles: Informal FS. Colloquial Words (cont)
Literary colloquial words are used in everyday speech and do not have negative connotations. Familiar colloquial words are used by the young and the semi-educated. They possess negative coarse connotations: ta-ta (goodbye), shut up (keep silent), etc. Low colloquial words are typical of uncultivated people (G.P. Krapp, 1953): cant, Jargon, and argot. Cant is the conversational vocabulary used by members of a specific occupation, profession, sect, class, age group, and interest groups. Jargon is the secret vocabulary of such sub-groups. Argot is both the cant and the jargon of any criminal group.
46
Functional Styles: Informal FS. Slang
Slang comes mostly from cant, jargon and argot words whose popularity has increased and a large number of common people uses or understands them. Slang has a tendency to be vulgar and offensive. Slang is more common in speech than in writing. Slang prefers short words, especially monosyllables. Slang is predominantly a language of males. Many types of slang words, including the taboo, refer primarily to male interests: work, money, politics, sports, women.
47
Functional Styles: Informal FS. Slang (cont)
Spheres of communication where slang is used: - money: cabbage, lettuce, kale; - parts of the body: cabbage, cauliflower; - people: apple, cold fish, frog, honey; - drunk person: boiled, fried, pickled; - sexually attractive people: cookie, honey, tomato, peach; - some situations and attitudes: to swallow a story, to ask what’s cooking; nonsense: apple-sauce, banana oil, spinach. Student’s slang is very varied to cram (to study diligently), a bear (a difficult college course), to cut (to miss class), a shotgun (an unexpected exam), to crib (to cheat during an exam), to flunk (to fail to pass an exam), a brain (a smart student), a clod (a stupid student), a bore (a dull lecture), a drag (a boring social evening) (E. Chaika, 1994).
48
Functional Styles: Formal FS.
Formal words are typical of a formal style and are restricted to formal situations. Formal words are associated with learned words: words of scientific prose, officialese, literary learned words and words of poetic diction; archaisms, obsolete words, neologisms and professionalisms (or terms).
49
Functional Styles: Formal FS. Learned Words
Learned words are sometimes called bookish words as they are quite often met in written speech. Words of scientific prose are characterized by their dry and matter-of-fact connotations: recant, postulate, compile, experimental, conclusive, etc. Officialese are words of a bureaucratic and pedantic language: to proceed (to go), to inquire (to ask), sufficient (enough), attired (dressed), to obtain (to get), etc. Literary learned words are typical of fiction, they are described as refined words: to bechance, to felicitate, elusive, fascination, etc. Words of poetic diction are used in poetry, obtain high-flown, sometimes archaic, connotations: a clarion, a brow (a forehead), to behold (to see), Alas!
50
Functional Styles: Formal FS. Learned Words (cont)
Archaic words are met in books, in written speech: they are rare in present usage: betwixt (before), save (except), a woe (sorrow), hapless (unlucky), a damsel (a girl), nay (no), thau (you). Obsolete words completely went out of use: anon (at once), to befall (to happen), etc. Neologisms are new words and expressions created for the purposes of naming new things and phenomena: antibiotic, feedback, nuclear fission. They are borrowed from other languages or made according to the productive patterns of word formation: affixation: de-icer, super-radar, electee, kitchenette, musicdom; compounding: gold-digger, ghost-writter, a walk-up, walk-ins; shortening and blending: telist (telegraphist), coke (coca-cola); conversion: to garage, to force-land, etc. Terms (professionalisms) are used in a certain branch of sciences, art, technology,e.g., in Linguistics – bilingual, allophones, palatalization, componential analysis, hyponymy, synonyms, etc.
51
Functional Styles: Basic Vocabulary
Basic vocabulary or Standard English opposes to Informal and Formal vocabulary. It is used and understood by a majority of people under any circumstances or degree of formality, regardless of profession, educational level, social group, geographical location: a table, to go, beautiful, up, down, etc.
52
Functional Styles: Stylistic Means of the Vocabulary
The use of the functional styles is characterized by the choice of language means suitable for a specific situation of communication. All the stylistic devices, characteristic of the Functional styles, are organized on several levels: a level of morphemes – morphological expressive means, a level of words – lexical stylistic devices, a level of sentences – syntactic expressive means.
53
Functional Styles: Morphological Expressive Means
Morphological expressive means fall into 2 types: phonetic expressive means and graphical expressive means. Phonetic expressive means deal with sound forms found in poetry: 1. onomatopoeia - the use of words, to imitate sounds of animals, objects or actions: hiss, bowwow, bump, sizzle: …she came down the stairs and shooed me away; 2. alliteration is a repetition of consonants: From a cheap and chirpy chopper on a big black block [ch,p,b, k]; 3. assonance is a repetition of similar vowels, usually in stressed syllables:...Sylken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain [ə:].
54
Functional Styles: Morphological Expressive Means (cont)
Graphical expressive means convey in writing people’s emotions expressed by intonation and stress: 1. graphon is the intentional violation of the graphical representation of a word: gonna (going to); Sooper Class Model; Knee-hi; NRG (energy); 2. italics, multiplication, capitalization of a word: Allll aboarrrrrd! Help. Help. HELP; 3. morphemic repetition: She unchained, unbolted and unlocked the door; 4. occasional words: I am an undersecretary in an underbureau.
55
Functional Styles: Lexical Stylistic Devices
Lexical Stylistic devices are called tropes and make speech colorful and bright. Among tropes we find the following lexico-stylistic devices: Metonymy: She was a pale eighteen; Metaphor: I found three splendid moons on the plate (pancakes) Simile – comparison of different objects in the structures that contain words “like” and “as”: His skin was tight as a drum. She acted like a dog around him. Epithet expresses a bright, unexpected, characteristic s of an object: She gave him a you-know-how-dirty-men-are look; an I-and-thou relationship to God. Irony is created by words with contextual meanings directly opposite to dictionary meanings: She returned the sweet smile of an alligator;
56
Functional Styles: Lexical Stylistic Devices (cont)
Pun is misinterpretation of a group of words in a sentence: Have you seen any spirits, or taken any? (“supernatural forces” and “ strong drinks”); Hyperbole (exaggeration) is emphasis achieved through overstatement: My vegetable love should grow faster than empires; Periphrasis (euphemisms/ disphemisms) - a roundabout way to express an idea: Sometimes the unbelievable happens. Antonomasia - a proper name is used instead of a common noun, or vice versa: Dr Clean Hands appeared in front of us; Zeugma is the use of words that are not connected semantically: She went home in a flood of tears and a silver Nissan. In 1578 he set sail with a group of colonists and Queen Elizabeth’s blessing; False chain (a variation of zeugma) - a number of semantically disconnected objects are attached to the same verb: the room was furnished with tulips, foreigners and French novels; Oxymoron joins two antonymous words: pretty ugly, awfully beautiful, loving hate; Allusion – use of words that make the reader think about some historical events, literature, mythology, etc.: The car had the wings of Mercury I thought…
57
Functional Styles: Syntactic Expressive means
Syntactic stylistic devices make speech emphatic by means of a specific syntactic arrangement of an utterance: 1. Repetition may be of several types: 1) anaphora - the beginning of a sentence is repeated:...good-bye, Lily, good-bye love, good-bye silly dreams; 2) epiphora - the end of a sentence is repeated: I wake up and I am alone, I talk with people and I am alone...; 3) framing – the beginning of a sentence is repeated at the end: She must leave. Today, now, immediately...Yes, she must leave; 4) anadiplosis (catch repetition) – the end of one clause is repeated in the beginning of the following one: Now he understood. He understood many things...; 5) chain repetition (several anadiplosis): Failure meant poverty, poverty meant squalor, squalor meant destruction; 6) successive repetition - closely following repeated units: She felt sure. Sure. Sure. 7) simple repetition - repetition without specific order of arrangement of words : I watched him walk away with sickness in my heart - though it was a pleasing sickness.
58
Functional Styles: Syntactic Expressive means (cont)
2. Parallelism - similar arrangement of word combinations, phrases and even sentences: On the chair sat an old woman, on the table sat a younger one. 3. Antithesis - juxtaposition of contrasting ideas in parallel constructions: “This pot is cracked. Look!” – “It isn’t cracked,” I said. 4. Inversion - when the predicate precedes the subject, or the object precedes the subject-predicate unity: ...in came Beryl, out bounded Elizabeth after me… 5. Ellipsis - omission of one or more members of a sentence: In manner, close and dry. In voice, husky and low. 6. Detachment - singling out one of the secondary members of the sentence: She was crazy about you. In the beginning. 7. Polysyndeton is a repeated use of conjunctions: He was wifed in Texas and mother-in-lawed, and uncled, and aunted, and cousined... 8. Asyndeton is an omission of conjunctions: Her face blushed, paled, vanished... 9. Rhetorical questions are questions without expecting any answer: Why? Why? Who could ever give a clear answer?
59
Functional Styles: Task 6 Pick out and analyze stylistic devices in the following sentences:
1. I really don’t see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal (O. Wilder). 2. …beautifully preserved and written in an impeccably neat penmanship – crimson ink on cream paper -… 3. …and that the greatest story ever told is, in fact, the greatest story ever sold? 4. They were astonishingly stupid (J.K. Rowling). 5. Eyes streaming, he swayed, trying to focus on the street to spot the source of the noise. 6. “I love you mucher”. “Plenty mucher? Me tooer”. 7. He swallowed the hint with a gulp and a gasp and a grin. 8. We can’t say much about you-know-what, obviously… (J.K.Rowling)
60
Functional Styles: Task 6 (cont)

B. WHAT MAKES A LANGUAGE? Its structural areas or components are: 1. Phonology – vowel and consonant sounds, accent, intonation, stress, phonetics, phonemics, etc. 2. Morphology – word formation, verb inflections, plural form of nouns, class and function words, morphemes, etc.
62
3. Lexicon – the total collection of words/vocabulary of a language, language registers (formal, informal, slang, technical, colloquial, literary, scientific, etc. 4. Syntax – the grammar of a language, ordering of words or phrases in an utterance, tense aspects, verb forms, etc. 5. Semantics – the study of meanings: denotative, connotative, figurative, cultural, idioms, etc.
63
6. Pragmatics – refers to how language is used in a society (what is said but not meant, or not actually said, but meant) by a speaker or listeners; presuppositions in a language, shared knowledge, cultural or general perception; observes maxims of quality, of quantity, of relevance, of manner, between and listener; politeness and maintenance of face image. - Question (comment on; Every teacher is a language teacher).
64
II. What is communication?
“Communication is a dynamic process of passing information from one person to another.” Communication is an interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information. Communication is transmitting ideas, information, feelings and thoughts through verbal or non-verbal means.”
65
COMMUNICATION What makes communication a process?
- Communication is a dynamic process, involving a number of essential elements and steps that must be effectively carried out.
66
COMMUNICATION Basically, communication has three elements:
THE SENDER THE MESSAGE THE RECEIVER SENDER RECEIVER In this illustration, where does the communication process begin…and end? 6 1 5 7 2 4 3
67
The oral communication process
involves the following 7 steps: 1. Ideation – forming the message or idea in the mind of the sender 2. Encoding – the sender’s choice of the appropriate words for the idea 3. Transmitting – the message through speech organs, and sound waves 4. Hearing – the receiver’s hearing or listening to the message as uttered by the sender
68
5. Understanding – the receiver’s correct perception of what he hears from the sender
6. Decoding – the receiver’s creating appropriate words to match the idea or message received 7. Feedback – receiver’s response to what is heard, understood, and decoded by means of a question, answer, confirmation, or action/performance.
69
Comprehension question:
In a classroom, how is oral communication from the teacher to the students/student to teacher carried out? When does effective communication between or among teachers and students take place?
70
III. TYPES OF DIRECT NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION
A. APPEARANCE, as shown in: -age, profession, economic position, race and culture 1. Artifacts-clothing and jewelry for personal status cars, for social status Physical traits-false fingernails or dyed hair, posture How does the appearance of teacher or student affect learning?
71
B. KINESICS - or body language which occurs from
culture to culture, race to race, person to person. Emblems-nonverbal messages Illustrators-message drawn in air Affect displays-showing emotions Regulators-conscious message Adaptor-low level consciousness with nervousness & anxiety How does the teacher’s or student’s kinesics in the classroom affect language learning?
72
- Eye contact or eye language
OCULESICS - Eye contact or eye language Cognitive Oculesics – listener is looking away from the speaker Monitoring Oculesics – listener is looking intently at the speaker’s eyes Regulatory Oculesics – listener’s choice of looking or not looking at the speaker’s eyes Expressive Oculesics – showing emotions or feelings while listening Oculesics could be culture-based. How does it affect, enhance, or distract from learning?
73
HAPTICS - Body touching or contact
Functional/professional - handshake, pat on the shoulder Social/polite - handshake, hug, social kiss, Friendship/warmth – long handshake, friendly hug, touch on the arm, holding hands,
74
Love/intimacy – affectionate hug, kiss, public display of affection, laying the head on the shoulder, etc. Sexual – showing intimacies done only in private What is appropriate and culturally acceptable body contact between teacher and students? Can it affect learning?
75
E. PROXIMICS - Space & distance between/among communicators while speaking 1 ½ feet apart – intimate: relations or topics of a confidential nature 1 ½ to 4 feet apart – social or professional: groupings, acquaintances, meetings 4 feet to 12 feet – consultative: larger group, lectures, meetings, conferences In a classroom (from 20 to 50 students), how could the teacher maintain proximics and be effective, especially in language learning?
76
F. PARA-LANGUAGE Meaningless vocal elements with speech or verbal mannerisms Filled pauses: “ah,” “uhm,” “uh,”, “er” Unfilled or a long pause, or a stop Verbal misplaced mannerisms: “so?” “all right,” “and,” “OK?” In a conversation or a classroom recitation, how does para-language affect language learning?
77
IV. WHAT IS LANGUAGE LEARNING? (LL)
LL is an active process Not systematic, but actual Not just linguistic knowledge Involves decision making processes Involves emotional aspects or language ego A developmental process May affect positive transfer from L1 to L2 (First language to second language).
78
What is second language acquisition (SLA)?
Learning a language other than the first Focuses on processes and products or performances Draws upon disciplines of linguistics Psycholinguistics Bio-psycholinguistics Socio-linguistics Applied Linguistics Contrastive comparative Linguistics
79
Involves principles and second language learning theories
Relates to the teacher’s understanding of learner’s behavior Involves individual and societal multilingualism and education
80
Factors of SLA Age – the younger/the older/the better?
Gender – female/male: A better learner? Social class – Middle class child; working class child, more successful, more adaptable? Ethnic identity/cultural distance – the closer to the target language the better?
81
The role of L1 in L2 acquisition
Children’s creativity in L1 subconscious process can be done in L2 Constant imitation of L2 becomes a habit Children’s verbal behavior tends to match adult models Children’s speech pattern is reinforced through approval of the adult models Comprehension question: Explain “practice makes perfect or correct practice makes perfect “. Relate it to language teaching.

VII. WHAT IS TESOL? TESOL originally meant Teachers of English for Speakers of Other Languages, founded in 1966, in Virginia, U.S.A., as an international professional organization for those concerned with the teaching of English as a Second Language or as a Foreign Language. Today TESOL is both an organization, and a course, or profession, for teaching English to speakers of other languages. MISSION: to develop the expertise of its members and others involved in teaching English to speakers of other languages and to help them foster effective communication in diverse settings while respecting individual’s language rights.
92
TESOL OBJECTIVES: 1. Articulates and advances standards for professional preparation and employment, continuing education and student programs; 2. Links groups worldwide to enhance communication among language specialists and practitioners; 3. Produces high quality program services and products for teaching language; 4. Promotes advocacy to further the language teaching profession.
93
TESOL maintains ESL-ESOL STANDARDS
(ESL – English as Second Language) (ESOL – English for Speakers of other Languages) ESL standard means that language skills are necessary for social and academic purpose, for the learner’s proficiency in English to lead rich and productive lives. TESOL emphasizes that: 1. language is for communication. 2. learning through individual and societal value of bilingual and multilingual ESOL students’ native language have a role in L2 cultural, social & cognitive process in language and academic development. language assessment respects the learner’s language and cultural diversity.
94
ESL STANDARDS refer to the:
Articulation in the English language development needs of ESOL learners Provisions of directions to educators on how to meet the needs of ESOL students. Emphasis on the central role of language in the attainment of other standards.

VIII. TESOL APPROACHES & STRATEGIES
A. Development of Language Teaching 1. In the 1960’s, language teaching was a system of rules which learners internalized (task). a. Learners were to approach L2 norms of native speaker. b. Mastery of structure was the priority, meaning just a peripheral. c Focus on syntactic was not much on vocabulary and semantics 2. In the 1970’s, language teaching was a system for the expression of meaning. a.Focus was on learner’s needs, syllabus needs based, and communicative syllabus. b..Learners centered education was prioritized; c. Learner-involvement was the objective in learning process 3..Since 1980’s to the present, Enhancement of the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) complemented with a Conversational Grammar Approach (CGA) and many other strategies

1. AUDIOLINGUAL Theory of language Is a system of rule-governed structures hierarchically arranged Theory of learning Habit formation; analogy not analysis Objectives Control of structures, sound, form and order, goal: native speaker mastery Syllabus Grades syllabus; contrastive analysis Activity types Dialogues & drills, repetition & memorization, pattern practice Learner roles Directed by skilled training techniques to produce correct responses Teacher roles Central & active teacher dominated methods. Provides direction & pace. Roles of material Primarily teachers oriented. Tapes & visual, language lab often used.

APPROACHES TO LANGUAGE TEACHING/LEARNING
2. TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE Theory of language Structural, grammar-bases view of language Theory of learning L2 learning is same as L1 learning; comprehension before production; reduction of stress Objectives Teach oral proficiency to produce learners who can communicate uninhibitedly & intelligibly with native speakers Syllabus Sentence based syllabus with grammatical & lexical criteria but focus on meaning not form Activity types Imperative drills to elicit physical actions Learner roles Listener & performer, little influence over the content of learning Teacher roles Active & direct role ‘the director of the stage play’ with students as actors Roles of material No basic text; materials & media have an important role later, Initially voice’ action, & gestures are sufficient
107
APPROACHES TO LANGUAGE TEACHING/LEARNING
3. THE SILENT WAY Theory of language Language is composed of elements that has a unique rhythm & spirit. Functional vocabulary & core structure are a key to the spirit of the language Theory of learning Processes of learning second language are fundamentally different. L2 learning is an intellectual, cognitive process. Surrender to be music of the language, silent awareness then active trial Objectives Near native fluency, correct pronunciation, basic, basic practical knowledge of the grammar of the L2, Learner learns how to learn a language Syllabus Basically structural lessons planned around grammatical items & related vocabulary. Items are introduced according to their grammatical complexity.
108
APPROACHES TO LANGUAGE TEACHING/LEARNING
3. THE SILENT WAY Activity types Learner responses to commands, questions, and visual cues. Activities encourage & shape oral responses without grammatical explanation or modeling by teacher by teacher. Learner roles Learning is a process of personal growth. Learners are responsible for their own learning & must develop independence, autonomy & responsibility. Teacher roles Teachers must a) teach b) get out of the way. Remain impassive. Resist temptation to model, remodel, assist, direct exhort Roles of material Unique materials: colored rods, color coded pronunciation & vocabulary charts.

APPROACHES TO LANGUAGE TEACHING/LEARNING
4. COMMUNITY LANGUAGE LEARNING Theory of language Language is more than a system for communication. It involves person, culture, educational developmental communicative processes. Theory of learning Involves the whole person. It is a social process of growth Objectives Non specific objectives. Near-native mastery is the goal Syllabus No set syllabus. Course progression is topic-based Activity types Combination of innovative & conventional. Translation, group work, recording, transcription, listening, free conversation Learner roles Members of a community, Learning is viewed as an individual accomplishment, but something that is achieved collaboratively. Teacher roles Counseling/parental analogy; provides a safe environment in which students can learn & grow Roles of material No textbook which would inhibit growth. Materials are developed as course progresses.

APPROACHES TO LANGUAGE TEACHING/LEARNING
5. THE NATURAL APPROACH Theory of language Essence of language is meaning. Vocabulary not grammar is the heart of the language. Theory of learning ACQUISITION-a natural subconscious process. Learning cannot lead to acquisition Objectives Designed to give beginners & intermediate learner basic communicative skills. Syllabus Based on selection of communicative activities & topics derived from learner needs. Activity types Allowing comprehensible input, about things in the here-and now. Focus on meaning not form. Learner roles Should not try & learn language in the usual sense, but should try & lose themselves in activities involving meaningful communication Teacher roles Primary source of comprehensible input. Must create positive low-anxiety climate. Roles of material Materials come from real things rather than textbooks. Primary aim is to promote comprehension & communication.

APPROACHES TO LANGUAGE TEACHING/LEARNING
6. SUGGESTOPEDIA Theory of language Conventional, memorization of whole meaningful texts is recommended Theory of learning Learning occurs through suggestion, when learners are in a deeply relaxed state. Baroque music is used to induce this state. Objectives To deliver advanced conversational competence quickly. Syllabus 10 units courses consisting of 1,200 words dialogues graded by vocabulary & grammar Activity types Initiatives, question & answer, role play, listening exercises under deep relaxation Learner roles Must maintain a passive state and allow the materials to work on them (rather than vice-versa) Teacher roles To create situations in which the learner is most suggestible & prevent material in a way most likely to encourage positive reception & retention. Must exude authority & confidence Roles of material Consists of texts, tapes, classroom fixtures & music. Texts should have force, literary quality, and interesting characters.

C. (CLT) PYRAMID APPROACH TO LESSON PLANNING
1.Elicitation Stage – bringing out new language structures meaningfully (story, poem, songs, dialogs, jazz, games, etc.) Listening 2.Explanation stage (highlighting of forms) – explaining what, when, why and how of the newly elicited language items with rules/tips. Reading * Speaking 3.Controlled Practice – a teacher-directed activity for learners’ mastery of new structure through drills, Q&As and on-the-spot error correction for correct feedback. Pronunciation Vocabulary 4.Skills Work stage – allows teacher to check on learners’ language skills integrated from stage 1 through their feedback. Spelling ,writing , grammar 5.Free stage – a learner-centered tasks to test the acquired skills, free interaction and communication with fluency and accuracy. Integrated 8 language skills from stage 1 4
119
Some Characteristics of Communicative Lessons
Meaning, not memorized rules, is paramount. Dialogues center on communication. Functions are contextualized and not memorized. Language learning is learning to communicate. Comprehensible pronunciation is sought; grammatical explanation is not over-emphasized. Translations may be used only when needed. Communicative competence is desired. Language is created by learner often through trial and error. Learners are expected to interact. Judicious use of native language is acceptable where feasible. Reading and writing can start from the first day, if desired. Fluency is the primary goal.
120
CHECKLIST FOR ENSURING COMMUNICATIVE LESSONS
Is the lesson appropriate to the learner’s age and proficiency? If not, can it be adapted? Does the lesson have a single focus? Is the lesson based on an instructional objective or student need? If the main reason for the lesson is the activity, there may be problems of sequencing. YES NO
121
4. Does the lesson address a real communicative problem. 5
4. Does the lesson address a real communicative problem? 5. Does the lesson have a real world (or at least school practice) outcome? 6. Does the lesson begin inductively and later move to a more deductive footing? (the deductive segment provides clarity) 7. Is there a mix of acquisition and learning activities? 8. Have learners been provided with all the language, skills, and knowledge they need to carry out every activity?
122
9. Do you have a language presentation—is it a piece of authentic discourse? (Beware of lessons that begin “Today students, we are going to study…”) 10. Do all activities occur in a realistic communicative context? (e.g., only playwrights and screenwriters write dialogues) 11. Do all activities have a clear goal other than “to practice the language” or “it’s good for you”? NOTE: this is especially important for pair and group work and all concluding communicative activities
123
12. Will learners easily imagine themselves (either now or in the future) engaging in these kinds of activities in English? 13. Are settings and vocabulary fields for all activities in the lesson consistent? 14. Are there opportunities for choice? 15. If you’ve provided choice, have you also provided criteria for making a choice? (e.g., if you give “also”, “in addition to”, “beside”, “furthermore” and “moreover”, will students have a guide for figuring out which to choose?)
124
16. Does language practice move from more controlled activities (for mastery) to freer, more communicative practice (so students can use the language skill/feature in naturalistic practice that solves real-world problems). 17. Is there attention paid to recursiveness (both within the lesson and in relation to other lessons—past and future?)
125
18. In content lessons, have you done a mini- discourse analysis to look at the language features that are particularly useful for participating in that lesson? --have you created activities to help learners notice them? --are your activities structured to allow learners to practice that language in an obvious way while they’re succeeding in the lesson
