mortality in Hamlet and Lady Lazarus. In both Lady Lazarus and Hamlet the semantic field of mortality and death can be clearly seen. Hamlet’s second soliloquy‚ ‘To be or not to be’ can be found in act three‚ when Polonius and Claudius are hiding behind a wall listening to how Hamlet responds to Ophelia. Although there is a huge time difference between when they were written it is surprisingly similar in its semantic field of vocabulary to Lady Lazarus written in the 1950s by Sylvia Plath. There

Consider this example: 1) a=a; ‘morning star=morning star’ 2) a=b; ‘morning star=evening star’ 3) b=a; ‘evening star=morning star’ Frege’s puzzle of identity concerns the identity and semantics of proper names and objects. In 1892 Frege noticed the equation a=a had the same meaning while a=b had the same cognitive value. He believed that‚ with logic‚ it is clear that a=a‚ and with careful examination and calculation that a=b. ‘Morning star=morning

COHERENCE AND COHESION ========================================================== Abstract This paper discusses that a meaningful English text is always coherent. Also‚ the role of cohesion in a coherent English text is discussed in the light of literature. In order to further understand the significance of cohesion in discourse‚ we have analysed two English texts; a poem‚ ’Daffodils ’ by William Wordsworth and an advertisement from a UK website gumtree.co.uk.

OPTIMALITY ACCOUNT OF CONSTRAINTS ON LEXICAL CO-OCCURRENCE IN THE IGBO LANGUAGE : FOCUS ON “BUY” VERB - ZU ABSTRACT The principles and mechanisms that constrain the combinatorial properties of lexical items in some languages of the world have been noted in many works of recent linguistic studies. Igbo language‚ particularly‚ has been observed to be consistent with most of the principles of co-occurrence constraints found in many other languages. Some of the combinatorial restrictions that have

Semantics are often overused in theoretical and ideological reviews or academic articles. This essay “Genealogy of Site Specificity” by Miwon Known was an example of confusing and repetitive semantic usage. Even the definition of site-specificity is complicated. I think the simplest definition would be that site-specific art is any artwork created to exist in a certain location and in which the artist takes the location into consideration while planning and creating the artwork‚ such as a sculpture’s

The process of communication considers sincerity between the interlocutors‚ and that logically excludes not only evident lie‚ but also propositional. Thereby the studying of Lie (in general) is a direct subject of linguistic investigation‚ especially in situations‚ when Lie starts to be

There is a relationship between these words “ hungry‚ dinner‚ oven‚ tummy” . These words share some common meaning or commonly occur in discourse because they relate to one particular subject. They all share in “food or eating”. I believe that the semantic field reinforce cohesion. The maxim of manner and quantity are obvious in the reply of the mom when
