The ()of the word “bank” cannot be determined by the context of the sentence “There is a bank over there”.
Pragmatics and semantics are both linguistic studies of (), but what distinguishes them is whether the context of use is considered.
Directions: Judge whether each of the following statements is true or false. Put T for true or F for false in the bracket in front of each statement. If you think a statement is false, you must explain why you think so and give the correct version.
What essentially distinguishes semantics and pragmatics is whether in the study of meaning the context of use should be taken into consideration.
Directions: Fill in the blank in each of the following statements with one word, the first letter of which is already given as a clue. Note that you are to fill in ONE word only, and you are not allowed to change the letter given.

Judge whether each of the following statements is true or false. Put a T for true or F for false on the ANSWER SHEET for each statement. If you think a statement is false, you must explain why you think so and then give the correct version.
The meaning of the word “bank” cannot be determined by the context of the sentence “There is a bank over there”.
The basic difference between pragmatics and traditional semantics is that pragmatics considers meaning in ()and traditional semantics studies meaning in isolation from use.
Directions:Answer the following questions.
Which maxim does B’s utterance in the following conversation violate? Does the violation give rise to conversational implicature? If it does, what is the implicature? [A is talking with B about a film they have seen.] A: The film was good. Don’t you think? B: The music was nice.
Directions: Explain the following terms, using one or two examples for illustration.
pragmatics
Semantics takes the context of use into consideration in the study of meaning.
Directions: Answer the following questions.
How are semantics and pragmatics related, and how do they differ?
Directions: Explain the following term and give examples for illustration where appropriate.

If you say what you believe to be false in a conversation, you violate the maxim of q.
"Do not say what you believe to be false" is required by the maxim of q under the cooperative principle.
Directions: Judge whether each of the following statements is true or false. Put a T for true or F for false in the brackets in front of each statement. If you think a statement is false, you must explain why you think so.
If one says what he believes to be false, he violates the maxim of quantity.
As the process of communication is essentially a process of conveying meaning in a certain context,pragmatics can be regarded as a kind of meaning study.
