Embedding, syntactic ambiguity and lexical ambiguity
Answer:
<u>Proverbs</u> and <u>adages</u> are familiar phrases that share advice or messages about truths.
Explanation:
This pair of terms refers to brief expressions of axioms, maxims, or common wisdom. This knowledge is often conveyed via metaphor in proverbs and adages. In a metaphor, two items or ideas are directly compared. The easiest way to understand proverbs is to see them as metaphors rather than exact statements.
Let's break down the sentence word for word:
- The = article
- children = noun (subject)
- excitedly = adverb (modifies the verb "talked")
- talked = verb
- about = preposition
- the = article
- fun = noun
- of = preposition
- fishing = noun
There's only one adverb and it is "excitedly" which modifies the verb "talked". It describes how the children talked. There are no adjectives in this sentence.
If the sentence said "they talked excitedly about big fish" then the word "big" would be the adjective that describes the noun "fish"; ie it elaborates more on the fish.
Make an equation: 18x >= 200
Solve: 200/18
x = 11
What? I dont understand the question in this ?
