Meaning in language
While the fields of language study mentioned above deal primarily with the form of
linguistic elements, semantics is the field of study that deal with the meaning of these
elements. A prominent part of semanticsdeals with the meaning of individual morphemes .
Semantics also involves studying the meaning of the constructions that link morphemes to
form phrases and sentences. For instance, the sentences “ The dog bit the man ” and “ The
Thành Viên Tuổi Học Trò
123doc.org
man bit the dog ” contain exactly the same morphemes, but they have different meanings. This
is because the morphemes enter into different constructions in each sentence, reflected in the
different word orders of the two sentenses.
1. What do fields of language study deal primarily with ?
2. Does semantics deal with the meaning of the elements ?
3. What does a prominent part of semantics deal with ?

Question 2: Choose the item (a, b, c or d) that best completes the unfinished statement

If you want to take the whole family on holiday and keep everybody happy, then I have
found just the place for you. I recently went with a group of friends to stay at the Greenwood
Holiday village, which is open from May until October.
Built in the center of a forest, Greenwood is a great place to stay whatever the weather. Its
main attraction for families is the indoor World of water, where young and old can have fun in
the different pools. Some of these, however, are for serious swimmers only.
For sporty people, the Country Club offers tennis, squash, and badminton. If the children

are too young to join these sports, there are activity clubs. Greenwood is a good place for
families as it is traffic-free- you explore on foot or by bike. Some people complained that this
was inconvenient, but I was pleased to be out in the fresh air. For evening entertainment, there
are shows and cinemas.
Accommodation is in variety of apartments of different sizes. These have up to four
bedrooms , a kitchen and a bathroom, as well as a dining area. Before going, I thought the
apartments might not be big enough for all of us, but I was pleasantly surprised- it was not too
crowded at all.
I definitely go back to Greenwood next year. Why don’t you give it a try? Visit their
website for further information now!
