organization of semantic memory. The purpose of experiment 1 was to test Collins and Quillian’s hypothesis stating that response time for category searching should be slower as a function of an increasing number of levels separating a category subject and it’s predicate term on the semantic hierarchy model. We use the same basic procedure as Collins and Quillian’s experiment, except that we utilize a single category for predicate terms as opposed to multiple categories at level 2 of the semantic hierarchy

expressivism. Expressivism Expressivism is a non-descriptive (it does not use beliefs or truth-conditions to characterise the meaning of moral terms) semantic theory which holds that ‘’to make a normative judgement is to express a non-cognitive attitude’’ (Gibbard, 1990, 84). The distinctive expressivist claim is that we can give an adequate semantics for moral terms using non-cognitive, desire-like attitudes. This contrasts with cognitivism which holds that normative judgements are entirely descriptive

1) Symbolic forms are of vital importance in the social studies not only as an object and/or occurrence, whether naturally occurring or not, but it is also of significance in the socio-contextual situation in which it is received. These symbolic forms can appear as actions and expressions, conversations, a variety of artifacts- artifact being defined as an object made by a human being, typically holds cultural or historical significance – and texts.

5. During the grammar and semantic explanation of the target structure on the board, a student asked about the difference between Idiomatic Future and Simple Future. I talked about the certainty or resolution that auxiliaries such as will and won’t convey. Accurate but inappropriate:

as being platonic entities, thus objective, whereas the referents they picked out as being subjective. These abstract objects are used to determine how reference can be made in the concrete world. Russell argues that there are not ‘two levels of semantic significance’ in his theory, so that when his theory is logically formulated, it has a ‘general nature’,

Language is a method of human communication, one of the most important things all humans have in common. In Dillon’s Grammar Repair textbook, she mentions that language is power and those who can exercise its power “possess a greater share of life’s privileges across the board” (1). Language greatly defines the person and how they are deceived by others. In the essays “Mother Tongue,” “The Meanings of a Word,” and “But What Do You Mean?” language is depicted as a controller of our lives in the workplace

Language development is a huge step in a child’s life. For parents it’s a build block that shows growth within their child. When language begins to develop it allows us to finally “get to know” the child. Before language development, parents had to guess or find ways of knowing what their child wanted or needed. However, during and after language development the child is able to express what they need, and attention. For my field project I collected data by walking around my family’s farm with my

The language is one of the fundamental achievements of the human race. Its role in the appropriation of culture and incorporation of the individual to society, is a key instrument of the educational process.
