Test your grasp of semantics & pragmatics

by Lola Loli

What are the three stages of interpreting meaning discussed in the slides?

Syntax, morphology, phonology

Literal meaning, explicature, implicature

Denotation, connotation, metaphor

What does pragmatics study?

How context influences utterance meaning

The physics of sound waves

Word formation rules

Define explicature as presented in the slides.

A purely literal interpretation

An explicit meaning clarified using context and world knowledge

A vague guess about meaning

What is implicature in the studied framework?

The sound pattern of the sentence

The dictionary definition

Meaning hinted at or implied beyond the literal content

How are semantics and pragmatics distinguished in the material?

Semantics = context use; pragmatics = grammar rules

Semantics = word/sentence meaning; pragmatics = utterance meaning in context

Semantics = pronunciation; pragmatics = rhetoric

Which example illustrates implicature in the slides?

‘It’s getting late’ implying it’s time to end the gathering

‘I can’t reach the top shelf’ as a request for help

‘The cat sat on the mat’ as a grammar test

What does compositional semantics focus on?

The history of a language

The study of sound systems

How word meanings combine to form larger meanings

What are truth conditions in semantic discussion?

The physical context of a sentence

The emotional tone of the speaker

Conditions that must be true for a sentence to be true or false

According to the slides, how is language knowledge partly characterized?

As entirely conscious and explicit

As purely instinctual with no awareness

As both conscious explicit and unconscious implicit knowledge

Which three parts are highlighted as essential in Chomsky’s view of grammar?

Phonology, syntax (morphology), semantics

Semantics, rhetoric, phonetics

Lexicon, pragmatics, discourse analysis

You can integrate the game into an LMS compatible with LTI 1.1 or LTI 1.3 such as Canvas, Moodle, or Blackboard. This way, the scores will be automatically saved into the platform’s gradebook.
