What are the features of academic language?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There are actually many. Just a few are:

Complexity

Formality

Precision

Objectivity

Explicitness

Accuracy

Hedging

Responsibility

(and et cetera. If you need more, please comment!!)

Answer 2

Answer:

Complexity

Written language is relatively more complex than spoken language. Written language has longer words, it is lexically more dense and it has a more varied vocabulary. It uses more noun-based phrases than verb-based phrases. Written texts are shorter and the language has more grammatical complexity, including more subordinate clauses and more passives.

Formality

Academic writing is relatively formal. In general this means that in an essay you should avoid colloquial words and expressions.

Precision

In academic writing, facts and figures are given precisely.

Objectivity

Written language is in general objective rather than personal. It therefore has fewer words that refer to the writer or the reader. This means that the main emphasis should be on the information that you want to give and the arguments you want to make, rather than you. For that reason,  academic writing tends to use nouns (and adjectives), rather than verbs (and adverbs).

Explicitness

Academic writing is explicit about the relationships int he text. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the writer in English to make it clear to the reader how the various parts of the text are related. These connections can be made explicit by the use of different signalling words.

Accuracy

Academic writing uses vocabulary accurately. Most subjects have words with narrow specific meanings. Linguistics distinguishes clearly between "phonetics" and "phonemics"; general English does not.

Hedging

In any kind of academic writing you do, it is necessary to make decisions about your stance on a particular subject, or the strength of the claims you are making. Different subjects prefer to do this in different ways.

A technique common in certain kinds of academic writing is known by linguists as a ‘hedge’.

Responsibility

In academic writing you must be responsible for, and must be able to provide evidence and justification for, any claims you make. You are also responsible for demonstrating an understanding of any source texts you use.

Organisation

Academic writing is well organised. It flows easily from one section to the next in a logical fashion. A good place to start is the genre of your text. Once you have decided on the genre, the structure is easily determined..

Planning

Academic writing is well planned. It usually takes place after research and evaluation, according to a specific purpose and plan.

Discuss the differences between Inflectional and Derivational morphology with examples

Answers

Answer:

"One key difference is that inflectional morphology does not change the meaning of the word, while derivational morphology does."

(See more below)

Explanation:

Inflectional morphology is the study of how a word goes through change when you add a vowel or make the word plural which doesn't change the meaning of the world all together but does change the numerical value of the word.

Common examples of inflectional morphology will be words such as pencils to pencils, bite to bites, cat to cats. Are all examples of inflectional morphology we don't change the meaning of the word but the numerical value when we are talking about cats, we are talking about more than one cat.

Derivational morphology is the study of how a word goes through change when change part of how the word is said, or the all-around meaning of the word we are talking about.

Common examples of derivational morphology will be words such as wonder to wonderful, agree to agreement, and joy to joyful. If we add/change a part of the word we are also changing the meaning of the word for example wonder has a complete different meaning than wonderful, which makes it apart of derivational morphology.

I would say there are many key differences between inflectional and derivational morphology. "One key difference is that inflectional morphology does not change the meaning of the word, while derivational morphology does." Inflectional morphology doesn't change the word itself only adds a vowel or a s, while morphology changes the complete word.  Derivational morphology can create a complete opposite of a word while inflectional morphology cannot.

Are disasters today less "natural" than they
use to be? why
or
why not?

Answers

Disasters began turning unnatural again in the 1970s, when researchers’ attention shifted away from physical hazards and toward the vulnerability of people and communities .Nature remains full of hazards, but only some of them wreak disaster. It is human-built structures, not the shaking ground, that kill when an earthquake strikes; people live, often out of desperation, in low-lying slums where flooding is a certainty; well-intentioned forest managers fuel bigger fires; evacuation systems fail; nuclear plants are built along risky coasts; and devastated communities either get help to survive and recover, or they don’t.  

There’s another reason that the “natural disaster” label has long outlived its expiration date. It’s really about blame—deflecting it, dissipating it, or removing it from the equation completely. But unfortunately for the blameworthy, science is learning more every year about how human activity is contributing not only to natural-looking disasters but even to the fluxes of air, earth, and water that inflict the destruction. This didn’t start with greenhouse emissions, but it may end there. Climate disruption has collapsed the last walls between the human and the natural—and the storms are growing.

do you agree that intertextuality is plagiarism? explain​

Answers

Answer:

yes I do agree on the given statement because,

Bet you know the definition of plagiarism by now. Sure, it’s taking somebody else’s words or ideas and passing them off as one’s own without 

giving credit to the original source. Educators and editors should know how to use software to detect plagiarism and eliminate text similarities on time.It seems to be rather simple to deal with plagiarism: if a checker detects similarities, it’s plagiarism in the flesh! But what if ideas are stolen? Only experts can see these similarities while proof-reading.

Does plagiarism check online help?

The situation with intertextuality is similar to the one with ideas. 

Intertextuality is the reference to archetypes, pop icons, or any other common knowledge in art. It’s used with the aim to fill a text with historical, cultural, social, etc. events or objects. It’s hard to accuse artists of actually stealing content. Not a single plagiarism finder online is going to help, although it’s a powerful and reliable tool.You can’t find a clear answer to the question “Is plagiarism and intertextuality the same?” Partially yes, partially no. Since we live in the post-postmodern world, where individual interpretation is highly prized, it’s up to a reader to decide if plagiarism and intertextuality are similar phenomena. The facts mentioned above may help you draw your own conclusions.

The one thing you should remembe

this: if you use any kind of content (texts, pictures, videos or anything else) without references, it is plagiarism, and anti plagiarism software can easily detect violation. Be careful and cite properly!

How does animal signal codes compare with human language in terms of arbitrariness

Answers

Answer:

- Human language is generative, which means that it can communicate an infinite number of ideas
- Animals communicate within closed systems, with limited possible ideas to communicate
- For Example; Birds may have different chirps to signify danger or the location of food, but they cannot combine those chirps together to convey a novel meaning

Animal signal codes compare with human languages in a way of communicating with each other.

What is human language?

Human language is the communication of different ideas in different ways to be understood by individuals.

On the other hand, animal signals is restricted and could mean different thing to different ideas.

Therefore, it is important for animals to be able to decode their signals for peaceful living and efficient communication.
