The study of morphemes, words, phrases, and sentences' linguistic meaning is
known as semantics.
The study of pragmatics examines how situation and context impact meaning.
Answer: Synonyms are different words that have the same meaning.
Answer words that have the opposite meaning are called antonyms.
Homonyms are words that have different meanings yet the same spelling and
sound.
Every homophone is a homonym.
Words that are pronounced the same but have different meanings (and often
different spellings) are called homophones.
Homographs are words that have diverse meanings and origins (lead vs. lead,
content vs. content), are spelled the same but may not be pronounced the same.
Appropriate name-ANSWER words that, from the perspective of the speaker
and listener, relate to specific people, places, and other elements
Answer statements that have the same meaning but may differ somewhat in
emphasis are paraphrased.
ANSWER Metaphor: Nonliteral meaning
Idiom-ANSWER An expression that may have a meaning distinct from the
meaning of its constituent elements
, ANSWER Discourse: Linguistic units made up of many sentences
Language that has been created through communication
Words or phrases whose meaning depends solely on context are described by
the term "deixis" or "deictic" (e.g. I, now, here, this cat).
Anaphora is the process of substituting a shorter expression for a longer one,
particularly when a pronoun is used that is compatible with the longer term.
Anomaly: ANSWER: A breach of semantic principles that produces seemingly
meaningless statements (e.g. the hat crumbled the milk).
Speech acts: ANSWER Greetings, invites, requests, thanks, praises, complaints,
and apologies
Phonetic alphabet: ANSWER alphabetic symbols that correspond to the
phonetic portions of speech, where sound and symbol are one to one
Allomorph: Two phonemes may be allomorphs in one language but not in
another; allomorphs are different phonetic variants of a morpheme.
such as /-s/, /-z/, and /ez/
possibilities for a morpheme's appearance
Additional marks on written symbols that describe different phonetic qualities
including length, tone, stress, and nasalization are known as diacritical
markings.
(For instance, tilde)
Answer: Orthography is a language's written form.
Glottis: the gap between the voice chords
Glottal-ANSWER Sounds produced with constriction at the glottis; a glottal
spot is created when the air is totally stopped at the glottis by vocal cords that
are tightly contracted.
Obstruent: ANSWER The category of sounds that includes fricatives, affricates,
and nonnasal stops
known as semantics.
