Okay I'm going to make sure I know the difference between generalized and particularized implicature.
It is cold outside: Particularized because you are talking
about it being cold to you in the place you are right now.
It is cold in winter: Genralized because you are saying in general it is more cold during the winter season.
Give me a piece of gum: Generalized because you aren't specifying the type of gum you want.
Today is my birthday! Particularized because you are
talking about a specific date and it is the birthday of the speaker.
I love buying shoes: Generalized becuase there are so many types of shoes.
Sports are so much fun to watch: Generalized because you don't specify the sport.
I predict Kansas will win the NCAA tournament: Particularized.
Am I doing this right? Thanks!
Hello Everyone! I want to make sure I understand the anomalies.
For Cooperative:
Maxim of quality: Roger Clemens is a great baseball player accused of using steroids.
Roger Clemens
doesn't use steroids.
(If the speaker believes Roger Clemens is not guilty then they are not saying something they believe to be false.)
Maxim of quantity: Who do you think will make it to the final four?
Well,
WVU beat out Duke which was amazing becuase Bob Huggins is a really
exciting coach and Duke was seeded number 2 while WVU was seeded number
10, so they have a shot at making it. UNC, Memphis and Kansas are
seeded number 1 so they have a good chance of making it. UCLA is
probalby going to make it too. They've won the most NCAA
tournaments with 13 wins. Davidson beat the number 2 seed,
Georgetown so they might make it, because they're hot right now.
Another underdog is WKY who has been playing great and has a chance as
well. But really, it's hard to tell at this point, because the
games are so close that you never know. I thought Kansas St.
would have made it with their amazing freshmen Michael Beesley, who
will probalby be the number 1 draft pick next year. If I had to
make a guess right now though, I would say, probably UCLA, UNC, Kansas
and then not sure. The final four has never had four number 1
seed teams so an underdog should be in the prediction.
Maxim of manner: What did you do today?
I got my nails done around 7 pm. I went to the
grocery around 3:00. Ate lunch at Panera with Erica at noon, had
class early this morning, then watched a movie before bed.
Maxim of tact: Could you help me clean out the garage.
Clean out the garage please.
Get the garage cleaned before
this weekend!
The garge is a disaster, thanks
to you.
Maxim of generosity: Let me help you out with the medical bills.
I want to help you pay for your medical bills.
Don't worry about the medical bills, I've got them
covered.
Maxim of praise: Did you have a good time on vacation?
No it
was aweful!
Actually it was fun, we just had terrible weather.
Can you tell me how
to get to the bookstore?
No.
I
would, but I don't know how.
Maxim of modesty: Congratultions on graduating!
Isn't
it great, I'm so proud of myself!
I am
so happy I have made such a wonderful accomplishment!
Maxim of agreement: Brandon Rush should be the number 1 draft pick and OJ Mayo the number 2.
I agree that they're both great players, but I think
Michael Beesley will be picked before the two of them.
Maxim of sympathy: My dog had babies and only two of them survived the birth.
I am so sorry to her that!
Well that happens in dog births sometimes, at least you
have two left.
Maxim of consideration: I think Nick Lashey is the most handsome man on this planet!
So you want to have sex with Nick Lashey?
Sorry for the extremely long post, just want to make sure I have all of these right. Let me know what you all think.
I think I understand Locutionary, Illocutionary, and Perlocutionary now. One question I have though, is this: Can any sentence be Locutionary?
So for example,
Maggie will be visiting the Julia R. Ewen elementary school tomorrow to work on her field experience for her education class.
Locutionary: The entire sentence.
Illocutionary: Visiting the school; working on her field experience
Perlocutionary: Trying to fulfill all of her credit hours for her field experience.
Then the deixis for this sentence would be:
Maggie: could be personal deixis
elementary school: social deixis
tomorrow: temporal deixis
her: personal deixis
will be: temporal deixis (future)
Is that correct?
PS: Sorry for being late on my post!
Hey everyone! Welcom back to Vox. Hope you guys had a great spring break. I thought the deixis conversation was really interesting yesterday but I don't get all of it. So... here's some practice. Let me know what you think.
The Carnival cruise I went on last week had a talent show at the end of our vacation and my friend Sally played Madonna.
Deixis:
I, our, Sally, Madonna person deixis
went on
temperal deixis (past tense)
played
temperal deixis (past tense)
last week
extended spacial deixis
end
spacial deixis
One question I have is, would Madonna be considered person deixis or
does it have to be able to be replaced with a pronoun? Although,
I guess you could replace that with her, if it was in responce to
someone else's comment. Are there any I missed and do you
all agree with the ones I acknowledged?
