Study Notes

Anaphoric Expressions

  • Anaphoric expressions connect to their antecedents through:
    • Pronouns (e.g., "it")
    • Phrases with a determiner and a noun (e.g., "the puppy")
    • Related nouns (e.g., "the little dog")
  • Connections based on "inference" can be observed in sentences like: "We found a house to rent but the kitchen was very small."
  • Interrogative structures in direct speech can be used to make requests rather than ask actual questions.

Negative and Positive Face

  • Face-saving acts are divided into two types:
    • Negative face: Reflects an individual's need to be independent and free from imposition
    • Positive face: Reflects an individual's need to be liked, admired, and appreciated by others.
