Jargon, slang and use of acronyms – these forms of language only make sense to people with specialist knowledge. A person who doesn’t have this specialist knowledge won’t understand the message. Dialect – people who speak English using a regional dialect (for example Glaswegian or Liverpudlian) pronounce words in different ways. Distress, emotional difficulties and health problems – some conditions,

The opening line of the poem, “By naming them he made them,” connects “naming” with making (Page line 1). The idea—that naming makes an object—is paradoxical since the “making” is both creative and destructive. Naming reduces the range of possible meanings that exist when the object is understood only through the senses. By naming the mountains Cook has changed them; this alteration is emphasized in the rhyming of “nam[e]” (1), “came” (3), and “not the same” (4).
My texts both discuss grammar, but they are different because they have conflicting opinions on their definition of proper grammar. These definitions of the role that grammatical roles play in good writing differ because the rhetors of each text are targeting different audiences with different exigences. Audience The audiences that are targeted in these two texts are very different; the article “Why you need good grammar” by Michael Kwan is targeted towards a more traditional and conservative audience because throughout the text he emphasizes that proper grammar is necessary in all situations, and shows his repugnance to modern day bloggers and internet users for not using correct grammar on the web. Kwan also writes that he thinks that all the new ways of communicating and sharing your opinion through the web and other new technology is ruining grammar, and stresses that we should go back to traditional proper grammar. The cartoon in the Wall Street Journal is targeted towards a younger, open-minded, and more liberal audience as it shows a picture of modern day rock and roll
‘The Gothic genre is based on the blurring of distinctions’ Discuss Gothic literature often uses the blurring of distinctions to explore the idea of oppositions and the liminal. Critics argue that the gothic aims to reveal “deeper wounds” which can be done through the blurring of distinctions, revealing to the reader that although it is easy to label things and set things, this is not always the case. This can certainly be seen in Bronte’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ as the fragmented structure and the settings prove that distinctions can become blurred. Similarly, in Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’, there appears to be a blurring of what’s right and wrong and what’s good and evil, particularly when considering the blurring of the supernatural and real world. In Carter’s ‘The Bloody Chamber’ gender roles and gothic tropes are subverted to show that nothing is set in stone.
Spelling checkers cannot identify spelling errors that result in another legitimate word (e.g., “form” typed for “from”) and are hard to use on documents that contain numerous words (e.g., foreign terms) not entered in the incorporated dictionary. Grammar checkers—which also generally check punctuation, sentence length, and other aspects of style—have been criticized for their reliance on oversimplified
In these cases, we have to memorize the forms separately. There is an interesting question concerning irregularity of complex words. Why complex words like low-life’s (people) do not carry the
In spite of this great amount of terms, a single word in English can be loaded with meanings. Fine, for example, has fourteen definitions as an adjective, six as a noun, and two as an adverb (Bryson 69). However, there are still gaps. English lacks words describing the middle ground between hard and soft, near and far. English has also a large number of negative words, like inept, disheveled, ruthless, unkempt, for which the positive counterpart is missing.
C- (2-3): These essays address the main ideas involved in the question/topic, but they do so inaccurately or without the support of APPROPRIATE TEXTUAL EVIDENCE. The discussion may be insufficiently developed or may concentrate on only one point or idea. Some may contain a significant misunderstanding of the question/topic or the literary work(s). The writing is sufficient to convey the writer’s ideas, but it suggests weak control over grammar, sentence structure, diction, or organization. These essays may have some serious errors of grammar and/or other mechanics
