Also polysemy, or metaphor fa shiz

[_avO]

To be honest I made shit up for most of the questions (wrote adjacency pair, overlapping at least 5 times) and the last question about syntax I had no idea how to answer. What did people get/

[slothpomba]

I bullshitted my way through the syntax one majorly...

[bec036]

I talked about declarative and interrogative stuff.... but thats one of the questions i didn't finish so i wont even get half the marks for it!

I hated the first question on spoken.  There was soo much bull shit to discuss.  Think I screwed it.

For syntax, the second lot had ellipsis.  Also the first lot had some interrogatives.  Spoke about tense.  Anything I could think of really.  Might have thrown in parataxis as well....

I also got metaphor but it didnt really "feel" like a metaphor to me...but i needed to write something down

sh*t! Totally forgot about ellipsis but instead said something about simple sentence for the thank-yous. LMAO

[_avO]

OMG didn't even mention ellipsis once.. FUCK easiest feature

[cambiej]

Look if they didn't accept metaphor they'd be pretty tight, given that a pun is based in metaphorical extension.

[_avO]

What did you guys write for features to show that Part 2 was formal? I think I wrote use of jargon and passive voice but dunno the last one

I commented on sentence type, sentence structure as the second part was all simple and the first had compounding, and some ellipsis and substitution.
