Summary

Interest in the linguistics of humor is widespread and dates since classical times. Several theoretical models have been proposed to describe and explain the function of humor in language. The most widely adopted one, the semantic-script theory of humor, was presented by Victor Raskin, in 1985. Its expansion, to incorporate a broader gamut of information, is known as the General Theory of Verbal Humor. Other approaches are emerging, especially in cognitive and corpus linguistics. Within applied linguistics, the predominant approach is an analysis of conversation and discourse, with a focus on the disparate functions of humor in conversation. Speakers may use humor pro-socially, to build in-group solidarity, or anti-socially, to exclude and denigrate the targets of the humor. Most of the research has focused on how humor is co-constructed and used among friends, and how speakers support it. Increasingly, corpus-supported research is beginning to reshape the field, introducing quantitative concerns, as well as multimodal data and analyses. Overall, the linguistics of humor is a dynamic and rapidly changing field.Step-by-step explanation:

The weekly salaries of sociologists in the United States are normally distributed and have a known population standard deviation

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

$ME =z_{\alpha/2} \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

The confidence level is 0.98 and the significance is $\alpha=1-0.98 =0.02$ and $\alpha/2 =0.01$ and the critical value using the table is:

$z_{\alpha/2}= 2.326$

And replacing we got:

$ME=2.326 \frac{425}{\sqrt{22}}= 210.760\ approx 210.76$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info given:

$\sigma = 425$ represent the population deviation

$n =22$ the sample size

$\bar X =1520$ represent the sample mean

We want to find the margin of error for the confidence interval for the population mean and we know that is given by:

$ME =z_{\alpha/2} \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

The confidence level is 0.98 and the significance is $\alpha=1-0.98 =0.02$ and $\alpha/2 =0.01$ and the critical value using the table is:

$z_{\alpha/2}= 2.326$

And replacing we got:

$ME=2.326 \frac{425}{\sqrt{22}}= 210.760\ approx 210.76$

A circle has a diameter of 29 feet. What is the area? *

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>660.5 square feet</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle = πr²

where r is the radius

From the question

diameter = 29 feet

To find the radius given the diameter we use the formula

$radius = \frac{diameter}{2} \\ radius = \frac{29}{2} \\ = 14.5 \: \: feet$

So the area of the circle is

$A = {14.5}^{2} \pi \\ = 210.25\pi \\ = 660.519...$

We have the final answer as

<h3>660.5 square feet</h3>
