Document Summary
3 language processes: semantics - link between signs and referents. (whorfian hypothesis) Ex) construction workers throwing cigarette butts into the empty barrels : syntactics - rules governing how utterances are constructed as per sequence/order, pragmatics - how cx situation and intent might lead to particular type of utterance. 6a: no thanks (. ) (i"ve finally) got my apple. Yes person doesn"t show up] expressives - cx about my psychological state (apologize, commend, condemn, congratulate, welcome) [ex. Oh i stepped on your feet, i"m sorry! you might not be sorry but it"s still polite can show what you"re actually feeling or not ] declaratives - by their assertion make something so (to quit, nominate, appoint, christen, define, name) [ex. in the sandwich example this thing is huge is an assertive but it actually is a directive b/c the receiver takes it as a directive]
