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.
