Linguistics and Semiotics

Easy

(Originais Teachy 2024) - Question Easy of English

When we are talking, we often use words that sound the same but mean different things. For example, the word 'manga' can be the fruit we eat or the part of a shirt that covers our arm. Furthermore, the way we write and use words can change what we mean, just like the images and colors we see on a traffic sign help us understand what we should do on the road. Think of a traffic sign you know and explain how the images and colors of that sign help people know what the message is and what they should do. Then, describe an example you know of a word that changes meaning depending on the context in which it is used. What is the difference between the meanings of these words in different contexts?

In the following text, extracted from the work 'The Little Prince' by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, observe the use of noun determiners and their relationship with the context for the construction of meaning. 'The men? They always judge too much. And I never heard from the old man again. Maybe he's dead from hunger.' Considering the presented excerpt and the work as a whole, evaluate the role of noun determiners in characterizing the characters and creating expectations in the reader. Explain how the use of determiners can influence the reader's interpretation of the social and emotional context of the characters. To answer this question, you must integrate knowledge about the function of noun determiners with an understanding of the historical and cultural context in which the work was written, demonstrating a critical view of the impact of these elements on the construction of the text's meaning.
