Lesson Overview

This week I have learnt many new language features and terms that I didn't know previously. The term "GRAMPS" Is very helpful as it helps analyse text. This is due to G standing for genre, R for Register, A for audience, M for mode, P for purpose and S for subject. This is very helpful and I will remember this for the future as I analyse texts.
 
I was reminded of Lexical fields which are a group of words that share meanings. Also that Connotation is what a word symbolises such as an apple representing temptation from Adam & Eve story, and the denotation is the exact meaning of the word such as apple = small, round, fruit, red. Semantics is the meaning of the word.
