Assignment brief This is an individual assignment and it is worth 20% of your overall grade for this module. The idea is to help you realize that you are surrounded by interesting linguistic data. You will find some original data and discuss the data from the perspective of what we have learnt about semantics, or pragmatics, or language variation and change (LVC), or a combination of these perspectives. For example, you may find some spoken/written text (e.g. advertisement, Internet meme, personal anecdotes/reflections) with some interesting linguistic property that you think can be discussed through the lens(es) of semantics/pragmatics/LVC. Or, you may choose to respond to a media article or opinion piece discussing some property of language related to semantics/pragmatics/LVC; in this latter case, the article/opinion piece will constitute your data. Regardless of your chosen data, you should make sure to relate your discussion to (at least one of) the semantics/pragmatics/LVC concepts covered in class. Your discussion should be about 250-300 words. If you find that your discussion of one example is too brief, you may bring in (an)other related example(s) for discussion, and even compare/contrast the examples. Try not to discuss completely unrelated examples. Your examples need not come from English, but if you use examples from another language, be sure to provide sufficient translation and explanation for an English audience.
