Which language system most likely broke down in the following scenario?

English
1 answer:
Savatey [412]3 years ago
6 0
The language system is semantics. "Coke" v.s "Sprite." are two different words, so we are focusing on a word. When Anna paused, she was confused because to Melinda, A Coke means a Sprite in her vocabulary. She wanted to confirm the same meaning. Semantics involves a changing meaning depending on the person. She is visiting from Alabama, so the meanings may have chosen just like dialects. Thus, it cannot be phonology/morphology, syntax, or pragmatics.

Write a story starting with: "Sally threw <br> her bike and ran towards the house ":
MakcuM [25]

Sally threw her bike and ran towards the house. She wanted to figure out what made that loud noise coming from in the house. She knocked on the door shouting, "Hello? Anyone there?" No one answered but the loud noise continued to play. She grabbed a bobby pin from her hair that her mother put up this morning and used it to unlock the door. Once she got in, she searched to find the noise. It wasn't in the living room, it wasn't in the kitchen, and it surely wasn't in the bedrooms. Sally looked up and noticed there was a string attached to a little panel on the roof. She pulled on the string and down came a ladder, leading up to the attic. She braced herself for what was about to come, climbing up the steps slowly. Sally peered into the room to see a bright lit up T.V. with a person she's never seen before watching it. The stranger looked at her and became shocked, turned off the TV, and tried to run past her to get out of the house. The attic was shut though, so the stranger needed to take some time to put it down. Sally stopped the stranger, who appeared to be a male, and questioned him, "What are you doing in this house? The real owners are on vacation right now!" The stranger didn't answer, finally opened the attic door and ran out the house as fast as he could. Sally tried to run after him, but she was much slower. The guy was no where in sight when she got outside. Sally immediately called the owners of the house and told them about this incident, and the man was never in there again.

1. How is love defined in our culture and how is it defined in other cultures?
muminat
1. Culture is a major factor that transforms passionate love into romantic love. Cultural values and traditional behaviors influence the expressions and experiences of love and transfer passionate love as primarily based on a sexual attraction into romantic love as an idealized and culturally affected way of loving.

2. The truth is, you probably do. Every single person in the world understands love and expresses it in a different way. You might have trouble understanding each other because you express love differently. This doesn't mean that one of you loves the other any more or less.
