Do not write your name or student number on the paper or in the file name: the system will match it for you after the essay has been marked anonymously.
Save your file as (not capital-sensitive):
ENGL116_Assessement2_TaskA or ENGL116_Assessment2_Corpus; or ENGL116_Assessment2_TaskB or ENGL116_Assessment2_Pragmatics
You can use tables/graphs/figures, but each of them will need to have a number and a caption and will need to be referred to in text, e.g. “as table 2 below shows…/ as illustrated in table 2 above.”
Example sentences (e.g. taken from a concordance) will need to be numbered, as you see in academic publications: e.g.
(1) I love writing essays.
If you refer to a portion of dialogue, you need to include the specific excerpt you are commenting on in your essay.
When you refer to a portion of dialogue in your text, include line numbers: e.g. “lines 2-3 show an example of overlap”, “there are two clear cases of interruption (11.2-3 and 11.55-57)”.
Both in-text citations and the bibliography need to follow the Harvard or APA citation style. Make sure that you include in the bibliography only the texts you cite in your essay, not just any text you have read.
Include at least 6 different sources in your bibliography. You are encouraged to go beyond the compulsory sources used in the lecture. All sources need to be reliable (e.g. books, chapters, articles)
Do not use footnotes for references. All references need to go in a separate Bibliography section.
Font will be Times New Roman or Calibri 12; 1,5 line spacing.
You are encouraged to use section titles (e.g. Introduction, 1. Synonymy, 2. The BNC, etc).
Important: Please read the guidance on Generative AI here before submitting.
You need to develop only ONE of the two essays: either Task A or Task B.
Range: 1,800-2,200 words.
Tables, examples and snippets of dialogues are all included in the final word count.
The bibliography is not included in the word count.
Choose two near-synonymous words (e.g. sick/ill, completely/entirely, house/home, freedom/liberty, etc.) and conduct a contrastive study using the BNC accessed via CQPWeb online.

For each of the following examples, make a brief note of a possible context and then specify what might be the locutionary and illocutionary acts:
According to Grice’s theory of conversation, in the utterances produced by the second speakers in the following four extracts, there is a difference between ‘what is said’ and ‘what is implicated’. For each extract, explain:
(iv) G: I’m thinking of wearing my new suede boots today.
P: The weather forecast was for rain.
(v) T: What did you have for dinner last night?
B: Food.
(vi) A: I’m sorry – I’ve spilt my drink on your new jacket.
S: Well, that’s just perfect.
(vii) R: Do you think that Danny will be going to the party this evening?
E: I know that Maria is going.
Consider the attached script from the film Meet thhowe Parents (Jay Roach, 2000). In this scene, Pam, who now lives and works in Chicago, brings her new boyfriend Greg home to meet her parent on Long Island.
Use the pragmatic frameworks that you have studied to analyse this excerpt. You might want to refer, for instance, to the politeness strategies used by the characters and to the ways in which ‘what they imply’ may differ from ‘what they say’. Keep your answer closely related to the text by quoting and/or using line numbers to identify relevant features of the script
