A descriptive grammar looks at the way a language is actually used by its speakers and then attempts to analyse it and formulate rules about the structure. Descriptive grammar does not deal with what is good or bad language use; forms and structures that might not be used by speakers of Standard English would be regarded as valid and included. It is a grammar based on the way a language actually is and not how some think it should be. 18. What is the difference between form and function in a sentence?
What can the reader infer about the speaker or the speaker’s attitude from the word choice, and how does it connect to tone? When analyzing syntax, consider such questions as: Are the sentences simple and direct, or complex and convoluted? How do dependent clauses relate to main clauses? Does the author use repetition or parallel structure for emphasis? Does the author write periodic or cumulative sentences?
The presence of a glove in Cather in the Rye and Winter’s Bone is something that readers possibly overlook before delving into the true significance of the book. Once readers closely analyze the importance within a text, some realize that a small symbol can mean something more than life to a particular character. Both J.D. Salinger and Daniel Woodrell provide a divine illustration of how individual culture reflects the arbitrary connection of a specific symbol. In Kaja Silverman’s The Subject of Semiotics, theorist Charles Sanders Peirce demonstrates his specific knowledge about sign theory.
The fourth and last level relates to text in the English language, for the most part texting is related to a psychologist as nothing more than a group of related words linked to form of paragraph.

Language in Cognitive Psychology It is obvious that language has a great impact on the way an individual think. When an individual think of theories and dilemmas the concept of thinking consist of an individual mature language. Benjamin
1. How do Eckert & McConnell-Ginet define the phonological level of language? What is an example of a phonological feature that we generally think of as (perhaps stereotypically) signifying a particular gendered way of speaking? (You can either use the example given by the authors or provide your own.) The phonological level of language in the reading is defined as a level of language that structures the units of sound (or of gesture in the case of signed language) that constitute linguistic form.
Language Paper Lisa Draxler PSY/360 February 7, 2011 E.W.Newlin Abstract The primary focus of this paper is language and how it relates to cognition. This paper will define language and lexicon and provide the similarities and differences of each. This paper will evaluate the key features of language, describe the four levels of language structure and processing, and analyze the role of language processing in cognitive psychology. Language Paper Language in itself is a complex concept in itself. Language is defined to be a communication of thoughts and feelings through a system of random signals.
Components of Analysis/AP Language Purpose, Context, Speaker/ Ethos, Pathos, Logos Any analysis must begin with the purpose of the text. For any text to exist, first there needs to be an occasion, an impetus--in formal discussions of rhetoric, it is usually referred to as exigence--that which motivated the text. Exigence precedes a text, so exigence does not equal purpose. Purpose is what the text, created in response to the exigence is intended to do. • Example: A eulogy is written in response to an exigence, a community’s sorrow, grief, and need to formalize the death of a member of its community; however, the purpose of a eulogy is most likely to honor the deceased.
Here are the things I look for when I'm annotating: a. Literary devices-similes, metaphors, personification, foreshadowing, symbols, hyperbole. Note the device and-- most important--the effect the device has. Connotations-The ideas that words or phrases create in your mind, beyond their dictionary definition. Details-What impression do they make on you?
| | |- be considered metaphors because the word or words used are not taken literally | Note: When the distinction is made, it is the following: when A is used to refer to B, it is a synecdoche if A is a component of B and a metonymy if A is commonly associated with B but not actually part of its whole. PART 3: SUMMARY 1. Which one is the most appropriate definition of metonymy a. Metonymy is the use of comparision of one thing with another. Metonymy is the use of word or phrase to indicate something different from the literal meaning. Metonymy is the use of the name of one thing to substitute for that of another to which it is related.
