EL3220 (Semantic and Pragmatics Assignment)

mann185 — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 02:37:41 +0000

SEMANTICS AND PRAGMATICS

EL3220

ASSIGNMENT

DR. ALISTAIR WOOD

DEADLINE: 7TH NOVEMBER (WEEK 13)

—————————————————

Instruction:

Write a 1500-word essay in which you analyse a text of any type from the point of view of one pragmatic model or standpoint, e.g. Speech Act Theory, Gricean Maxims, Relevance Theory, any Politeness Theory etc.

The text can be of any length, but do not make it too long or too short, or you will either get bogged down or won’t find anything to say. It can be of any type, written or spoken, but should be an authentic text, not one written by you. If you are unsure about either the text or what to do with it, bring it along to me and ask.

Important message from Alistair

Qilah — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 06:58:33 +0000

Hi guys, since I currently have no credit to text to your cells and since currently not everyone is available on MSN, I had to leave a message here (and in the hope of you guys checking this website before tomorrow, or at least happen to read my MSN nick/pm and/or Facebook status – sorry, I don’t know how else to contact you guys :S), I’m here to pass a message from Alistair cuz he said “nobody seemed to have read the post in our Google Group” (I guess because no one has replied yet). Basically I’ll just paste what he said there in case malas kan log in to our Google Group :p :

“

Hi guys

As we did not finish the lecture yesterday because we missed the
Monday class, we are a bit behind. So I don’t think it makes much
sense to have the tutorials on this week’s work just yet. So I
propose to have a lecture tomorrow instead of the tutorials. However,
I don’t want to give the lecture 3 times obviously. What time would
be better for you to have the lecture, 9.00, 10.10 or 11.10? Is there
any time some people cannot make it? If there is such a time please
tell me and I will schedule the lecture for one of the other slots.

Please tell the others if you read this, and get back to me asap.

Many thanks,

Alistair

“

He asked me to inform you guys this because tadi kelurusan ia tejumpa me and jiah. So er yeah, hopefully you guys can get back to me on MSN or facebook or the best way is to just comment here if possible, or wait – even better, respond arah his post in Google Group So you guys mau lecture esok what time? Are you guys all free at 11am-12pm? If the majority of us are free, then it should be okay Thanks

Timetable for upcoming semester

Qilah — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 16:37:14 +0000

Hi ya’ll, I’ve been checking the ubd website for updates on the timetable, yes, I’ve been getting pretty jobless lately ever since the holidays are coming to a tragic-yet-somehow-secretly-quite-anticipated end, maybe because I’m eager to start using my brain in a productive way again but I’m digressing! Anyway last week it was just a draft and now it’s updated. It’s probably gonna be changed again nanti but if you wanna get an “idea” you should check it out

For those yang don’t know the course titles for the codes (or just a tad lazy to refer back) since the timetable only shows codes, here’s the list:

EL 3219 – LANGUAGE COURSE DESIGN AND ASSESSMENT

EL 3404 – ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA

EL 3216 – INTRODUCTION TO NEW LITERATURES IN ENGLISH

EL 3220 – SEMANTICS AND PRAGMATICS

EL 3218 – LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND THE CLASSROOM

EL 3402 – FUNCTIONAL SYSTEMIC GRAMMAR

Okie dokes enjoy the rest of your holidays mates
XOXO

TESL 07!

I MISS YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s an idea…

rayna62 — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:26:27 +0000

Remember the times when we had soooo much fun at the beach?

Remember the delicious barbeque chicken, marinated to perfection?

Remember the laughter?

Remember the music?

… the together-ness?

So whaddya think? Should we do it again?

I miss you guys, don’t you miss me?

LETS HAVE ANOTHER PICNIC BAH!!

But! It does NOT HAVE to be a picnic. We can do something else, see.

Like… Foraying at Jerudong Park?

Bowling?

Barbeque at someone else’s place? *cough*

Whatever we do, as long as its fun?

Eh? eh?

Come on, leave all the suggestions, yeah?

And do tell when you guys are free.

UPDATE # 1

I think it is clear that a beach barbeque is the best thing to do rather than meeting up at JP or barbeque at someone’s place… or bowling. ( I went to JP today, hoping for a better state of the park. Its getting there…)

Anyway, I think Muara beach is quite alright and is a fun place to go to (because last time was a success AND everyone enjoyed it. Plus, there won’t be as many sandflies there as Berakas). Any other suggestions will be considered. The confirmation will be due to the majority vote

I guess a potluck would be a great idea too. Everyone bringing their own food to share.

And I’ve solve the problem on whoever wanted to bring raw food. “Cemana tah kan menyalai, inda kan sorang saja semua untuk salai, yada yada.“

Okay, here’s the deal. Whoever wants to bring anything to salai, TELL US A.S.A.P so that those who wont be bringing food or drinks can contribute something to help, for example, the grill or the arang… all those barbeque stuffs

Easy peasy lemon cheesy, eh?

I’m really excited now! I can’t wait to meet ALL of you guys in your beach-wear glory.

Oh, IF you want, you could tell us whenever before the barbeque what you’re bringing. Saja, enticing us all, making us seliur awal…

I’ll update more after we decided for sure when is the best to do this barbeque.
