1. Duarity: It means the property of having two levels of structures, sucn that
units of the primary level are composed of elements of the secondary level and each of the two levels there is a structure of sounds , which are meaningless by themselves. But the sounds of language can be grouped and regrouped into a large number of units of meanig, which are found at higher level of the system. To talk about duarity we must notice that langusage is heirarchical.
2.
Phoneme:it is a basic unit of phonological study, which refers to the explicit sound contrast:the existence of a minimal pair automatically grants phonemic status to the sounds responsible for the contrasts. 3.
Morphology: it is a branch of grammar which studies the internal structure
of words and the rules by which words are formed. Morphology mainly concerns the inflectional and derivational reseaching fields. 4.
concord:it is also called agreement; it is a syntactic relation between words and phrases which are compatible, in a given construction, by virture of inflections carried by at least one of them. There are two types of concord:notional agreement and grammatical agreement.
5. connotative meaning:it means what is communicated by virtue of what language
refers to, which was firstly put forward by G. Leech.
Part4.
1. Semantics examines how meaning is encoded in a language. It is not only concerned
with meaning of words as lexical items, but also with levels of language below the word and above it, e.g.meaning of morphemes and sentences.The following are waht the key concepets look like:semantic components, denotation of words, sense relations between words such as atonomu ans synonymy,sense relations betwwen sentences such as entailment and presupposition.
2. Herbert Paul Grice noticed that in daily conversations people do not ususally
say things directly but tend to imply them.we follow the cooperative principle:Quantity; Quality;Relation:Manner.
