Semantic networks are networks of interconnected meanings linked by some semantic bond and represented graphically. They are useful in expressing relationships among different concepts, pointing out not only the elements of the network, but also the type of relationship established. Bearing in mind this characterization of the semantic network, mark the option below that presents the two essential elements that found conceptually all semantic networks.
		
	
	Links and concepts.
	
	Organizing hierarchy and concepts.
	 
	Concepts and categories.
	 
	Organizing hierarchy and semantic bond among elements.
	
	Graphic and semantic bond among elements.

	Explicação:
Two are the basic and essential elements in the constitution of a semantic network: some kind of hierarchy organizing the elements and a semantic bond linking them.

	The statements below refer to lexical relations. Read them and choose the correct alternative: 
I. Homographs are groups of words that have the same pronunciation or the same writing but have different meanings. 
II. This semantic category of words is called homophony, when the words share the same spoken sounding or homography, when they share the same spelling.
III. This semantic category of words is called homonymy, when the words share the same spoken sounding or homophony, when they share the same spelling.
IV. Homonyms are groups of words that have the same pronunciation or the same writing but have different meanings. 
		
	
	Statements I and II are correct.
	
	Statements I, II and III are correct.

	Pragmatic ambiguity occurs when the context in which a sentence is uttered changes its literal meaning, granting it another sense. Based on this definition, read the sentences below and mark the one that presents a case of pragmatic ambiguity:
		
	
	This sandwich is so yummy.
	 
	Ten of my students have flunked my course 6 times.
	
	No one comes here and doesn't eat my pies.
	
	Triangles are geometrical figures with lots of applications.
	 
	Can you close the door?
	Respondido em 09/04/2023 18:02:40
	
	Explicação:
The only example in which the literal meaning of the sentence is altered by the influence of contextual factors is Can you close the door?. Mostly when this type of construction is produced, the meaning aimed by the speaker is not the literal meaning of the sentence (asking a question), but a contextually meaningful variation of it: asking politely someone to do something for you.

	Paraphrases play a variety of roles in discourse, being used in many situations to perform specific interactional functions. Bearing it in mind, read the passage below:
When the teacher said that our identity is socially constructed within the rules established by society and the dominant culture, he meant to say that we cannot decide by ourselves who we want to be.
What is the function being performed by the paraphrase in the highlighted passage?
		
	
	Abstraction increasing.
	
	Ownership recognition.
	
	Synthesizing for solving ambiguity.
	 
	Didactic synthesizing.
	
	Synthesizing for more abstraction.
	Respondido em 09/04/2023 18:08:26
	
	Explicação:
The passage presents a paraphrase used in order to make a certain idea more synthetic and didactic. The student is basically translating the teacher's ideas into simpler and more concise terms so that the other students are able to grasp the ideas discussed.

	Scope relations are types of semantic relationships in which the understanding of a certain element within a sentence depends on the interpretation of another. Based on this definition, read the options below and mark the one that presents a correct example of scope relation:
		
	
	Eleven of my students didn't come to class today due to the bad weather.
	
	My sister, my mother and I were informed of the theft of our car.
	 
	The six guys in that table drank more than ten margaritas.
	 
	Fair is foul and foul is fair.
	
	To live is to die.
	Respondido em 09/04/2023 18:10:43
	
	Explicação:
The only option in which the correct interpretation of one element depends on the interpretation of another is 'the six guys in that table drank more than ten margaritas' since the interpretation of how many margaritas each guy drank depends on the way we understand the meaning of the quantifier 'ten'. Quantifiers, negation, generalizers as well as modals may establish scope relations.

	Read the text bellow:
"In 2020 it became the first such game to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the treatment of ADHD in children.
Currently only available on prescription from doctors in the US, EndeavorRx at first glance looks very similar to countless other games. You control a little alien that races on a spaceship through different worlds having to collect things.
But the app-based game was developed in conjunction with neuroscientists, and is designed to stimulate and improve areas of the brain that play a key role in attention function.
The idea is that it trains a child with ADHD to both better multitask and ignore distractions, with a computer algorithm measuring his or her performance and customising the difficulty of the game in real time.
When doctors prescribe it, the child's parents get sent an activation link that is needed before the game will play.
Kelcey says she was "a little sceptical", but at the end of 2020 Owain started a three-month programme, playing the game for 25 minutes a day. He then did another round last year.
"He admitted it was a little harder than he expected," she says. "But he understood that he was doing it to help improve his focus. He remained super motivated despite the difficulties and frustrations that came along with it."
After each of Owain's sessions she noted his daily behaviour in the app, and tracked his progress.
Soon she started to see small, positive changes in his behaviour. For example, getting ready for school had become smoother, and there were no negative messages from teachers.
And after failing fifth grade, Owain subsequently shot up to getting As and Bs for his work.
"It has been amazing to see my son so successful, but more so, seeing him have confidence in himself," Kelcey says. "He is no longer upset and confused about why he just does not get it."
Eddie Martucci, chief executive of Akili, the Boston-based tech firm behind EndeavorRx, says the game has been designed to boost cognitive progressing."
Retrieved from: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-62060542.The complex sentence "Kelcey says / she was a little sceptical" is divided in two parts. These parts are respectively:
		
	
	active/active.
	
	active/processive.
	 
	active/stative.
	
	processive/stative.
	
	active-processive/stative.
	Respondido em 09/04/2023 18:11:41
	
	Explicação:
The verb "to say" is an action, therefore, it is active. Active sentences are composed of action verbs. Consequently, they require a subject that does something. In the second part, the verb to be in the past ¿was¿ is a state, which means that it is stative.

Verbs may establish dynamic or static relations with the other elements that are part of the sentence. Dynamic sentences may be even further categorized into: active, processive and active-processive. The sentence "In 2020 it became the first such game to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the treatment of ADHD in children" is:
		
	
	processive.
	 
	stative.
	
	dynamic.
	 
	active-processive.
	
	active.
	Respondido em 09/04/2023 18:12:05
	
	Explicação:
In this sentence, the subject "it (the game)" is in a specific condition. Moreover, it is constructed by a state verb (to become), which means that it is a stative sentence. Stative sentences are constructed by less dynamic verbs, or state verbs, which do not imply actions or events. In this type of sentence, the subject is in a state or condition, which is specified by the state verb.

	The same word can have different meanings, since words have conceptual, connotative, collocative, affective, stylistic and other meanings. Choose the alternative that contains a connotative meaning (dictated by age):
		
	
	Make my day.
	 
	Do you dig it?
	
	Keep it real.
	
	He's such a moron.
	 
	He was trying to holler at me.
	Respondido em 09/04/2023 18:13:29
	
	Explicação:
Considering "Make my day" (which is a line that became famous from an old Western movie said by Clint Eastwood and meaning "make my day worth it"); "keep it real", which means do not daydream; "He's such a moron", which mean "he's so stupid"; "He was trying to holler at me", which means "He was trying to yell to get my attention" and "Do you dig it?", which means "Do you like it?", this last one is the one that uses "old" vocabulary. It's old slang, therefore, it conveys the age of the speaker.
