Question 9
We disagree that Hamlet is an aphasic. This is due to the fact that the language used in Act II, Scene 2 is classical literary language.
We agree that Hamlet is an aphasic. The reason why we say so is because the sentences used are semantically anomalous and the sentences are in nonsense form, making them uninterpretable. These are the signs of Wernicke’s aphasia.
Exercise 2(page 64-66) Date : 20 July 2008. Group Members: 1. Tian Zhong Weng 2. Tan Shin Yen 3. Pang Fei Mian 4. Tan Kai Chur Answers: 2. (a) (i) Liberty & Freedom Liberty = The freedom to go where you want, do what you want, etc Freedom = 1. The state of being free. i.e. of not being in prison or under the control of somebody else. 2. the right to say or to do something that you want. Common : Both of them are nouns Difference: The meaning of the words is slightly different. For example, liberty carries the meaning to describe the freedom on government or authority and is usually used in legal text. While for the meaning of freedom is more to describe the action of a human where someone can do or say something as they wish. Canary & Parrot Canary = a small yellow bird that sings and is often kept in a cage as a pet. Parrot = a type of tropical bird with a curved beak and usually with very bright feathers. Common : Both canary and parrot are birds and kept as pet for human beings. Difference : Canary is a small size bird which can produce nice sounds but not imitating others’ voice or conversation. While parrot is bigger in size and it can imitate the voices from human and other things. Abroad & overseas Abroad = in or to another country or countries. Overseas = in, to, or from another country(especially one that you have to cross the ocean to get to) Common: both abroad and overseas carry the same meaning of going to a place from a place and both of them are adjectives. Difference: Abroad not necessarily have to cross the sea or ocean. But overseas have to cross the sea or ocean. Large & Long Large = greater in size or amount than is usual. Long = measuring a great amount in distance or time Common: both of them are adjectives and are used in measuring things. Difference: Long is used to measure distance or time but we cannot use large to measure distance or time. Short & Small Short = not measuring much from one end to the other OR less than average height OR not lasting a long time not having enough what is needed. Small = not large in size, number, amount OR young OR not important or serious. Common: Both of them are adjectives and are used in measuring things. Difference: usage are different for both words. Tall & Long Tall = (used about people or things) of more than average height; not short OR (used about people) of a particular height. Long = measuring a great amount in distance or time Common : Both are adjectives and used in measurement Difference: Long is to measure length while tall is to measure height. (ii) Decide & Decision Decide = to think about two or more possibilities and choose one of them OR to influence something so that it produces a particular result. Decision = judgment that you make after thinking about various possibilities OR being able to decide clearly and quickly. Common : Both of them bring the same meaning Difference: Decide is a verb while decision is a noun. Conceal & Concealment Conceal = to hide somebody or something; to prevent somebody or something from being seen or discovered. Concealment = a noun of conceal Common : both bring the same meaning Difference : conceal is a verb while concealment is a noun. Portray & Portrait Portray = to describe somebody or something in words; to show somebody or something in a particular way OR to act the part of somebody in a play or movie. Portrait = a picture, painting or photograph of a person OR a description of somebody or something in words. Common: Both bring the same meaning Difference: portray is a verb while portrait is a noun. Bathe & Bath Bathe = to take a bath OR to give somebody a bath OR to watch or put part of the body in water, often for medical reasons OR (usually passive) to cover or surround something. Bath = an act of washing your whole body when you sit or lie in bathtub filled with water Common: Both have the same meaning Difference: Bathe is a verb while bath is a noun. Speak & Discussion Speak = to talk or say things OR to know and be able to use a language OR to make a speech to a group of people OR (usually in negative sentences) to be friendly with somebody. Discussion = a time when you talk about something. Common : both of them share the same meaning where both involve in talking. Difference : Speak is a verb while Discussion is a noun. Remember & Memory Remember = to have something in your mind or to bring something back into your mind. Memory = a person’s ability to remember things OR the part of your mind in which you store things that you remember something that you remember the part of computer where information is stored. Common : both have the same meaning Difference : remember is a verb while memory is a noun.
2(b) Words are usually stored in brain when they are used often. For example, most of us will remember the word freedom and we hardly remember the word of liberty as we are used to the word freedom. On the other hand, for those politicians and those who work in law firm, they will remember the word liberty well as they are used to it and use it often. Besides, in our brain, when there are two words that are similar in meaning, we, as the normal human being can differentiate them well when we use them. However, for the aphasic patients, they cannot distinguish them well and usually, they will use the words that are close to them where they use it very often. 3. (a) There is a horse under a new sidesaddle. (wrong arrangement of words) (b) We see many girls in happy days. ( wrong arrangement of words.) ( c) I’ll learn to ride a new bike. (using the wrong word- instead of using challenge, we should use learn to ride) (d) I’m surprised that there’s no glamour. (wrong syntax) (e) Are there three chairs in the room? (wrong grammar) (f) Mike and Peter are happy. (Wrong grammar) (g) Bill and John like hot dogs. ( Wrong grammar) (h)Proliferate is to increase quickly in number. (wrong meaning) (i) It went out and came in better than it did before. (has no object)
9. No. Because from the play, we can find that Hamlet is different and everyone understand him in a personal way. Hamlet is angry, dejected, depressed and brooding; he is manic, elated, enthusiastic and energetic too. Besides, he is dark and suicidal, a man who loathes himself and his fate. Yet, at the same time, he is an existential thinker who accepts that he must deal with life on its own terms, that he must choose to meet it head on. Thus, Hamlet with such unique and strong character, is not an aphasic patient.

EXERCISES 2 Liberty-Freedom We use “liberty”freedom to live far from many prohibitions and restrictions that goverment forced us not to do. We use “freedom”the right to do or say what you want without anyone stopping you.

9 According to the whole the act II, we think Hamlet isn't aphasia.Though we can not understand his real meaning, but we can see he is trying to say his real thought by using his expeirence. The way he speaks, and the words he uses, show his own emotions.

3. a) It should be in standard grammatical order : “There is a new sidesaddle under the horse”. The patient has deviated subject and predicate, and wrong article. b) The sentence suppose to be : “In days we see many happy girls”. The patient has deviated the object in the sentence with subject. c) The correct sentence should be “I’ll challenge you with my new bike”. The patient has deviated pronouns and wrongly use the article. d) It should be e) It should be “Are there three chairs in this room”. There is an error in the subject – verb agreement. Since the subject is in plural form (three chairs), so the verb use must be “are” instead of “is”. f) It should be “Mike and Peter are happy”. Again, there is an error in the subject – verb agreement. Since the subject is in plural form (three chairs), so the verb use must be “are” instead of “is”. g) The correct sentence should be “Bill and John like hot dogs”. Bill and John is refered to as “they” in pronouns, in the rules of subject – verb agreement, “they” should be followed plural verb which is “like” rather than “likes” h) Uninterpretable i) Uninterpretable

9. Hamlet is definitely not aphasic. His cleverness with words has shown in the play, unambiguously. In addition, he owns great competency skill on rhetoric and even uses metaphors and anaphora. Hamlet simply enjoys teasing people and fooling them with what he says. Therefore, this certainly proves that he is not aphasic because an aphasic patient will produce jargon and nonsense words, whereas Hamlet is highly capable of constructing good sentences and using literary languages to fully express himself.

2a. (i) Liberty / Freedom Both indicate the meaning of not under anyone or anything’s control. Liberty mostly refers to country or group. Freedom mostly refers to an individual.
Canary / Parrot Both are bird. They are different kind of bird.
Abroad / Overseas Both indicate the meaning of in or to another country or countries. Overseas is more specific to a country that you have to cross a ocean to reach.
Large / Long Both are adjectives. Large describes things in size or amount, long describes things in distance or time.
Short / Small Both are adjectives. Short measures distance or time, small measures things’ size or amount.
Tall / Long Both are adjectives. Tall measures height, and long measures distance or time.
(ii) Decide / Decision Both are about choosing or making judgements. Decide: transitive verb, meaning-- choosing between some choices; decision: uncountable noun, meaning-- the choice we have made.
Conceal / Concealment Both are about hiding something from someone. Conceal is transitive verb while concealment is uncountable noun.
Portray / Portrait Both are about describing something or somebody. Portray is more to word describing, portrait is more to picture describing.
Bathe / Bath Both are about washing / cleaning body. Bathe is a verb while bath is a noun.
Speak Discussion Both are about talking. Speak only have one speaker but discussion have many people giving their opinion. Moreover, speak is verb and discussion is noun.
Remember / Memory Both are about having something in mind. Remember is a verb, it means memorizing something; memory is a noun, it means a people’s ability to remember.
2b. Words in groups (i) and (ii) share similiarity in regard of certain aspects. We are likely to store these words in the brain according to their close resemblance and definition. For instance, although canary and parrot look different, they are still grouped as the same species—bird. Words like “decide” and “decision”, “conceal” and “concealment”, “bathe” and“bath” apparently show the likeness of meaning. The usage for these words, however, is different, based on whether they are: verbs or nouns. While some adjectives are to show measurement “large”, “long”, “small”, “tall” and “short”. These words remind us of shapes, sizes and forms.

Common : Both of them are nouns
Difference: The meaning of the words is slightly different. For example, liberty

freedom is more to describe the action of a human where someone can
do or say something as they wish.

Parrot = a type of tropical bird with a curved beak and usually with very bright
feathers.

imitating others’ voice or conversation. While parrot is bigger in size
and it can imitate the voices from human and other things.

Speak & Discussion
Speak = to talk or say things OR to know and be able to use a language OR to make a
speech to a group of people OR (usually in negative sentences) to be friendly
with somebody.
Discussion = a time when you talk about something.

Difference : Speak is a verb while Discussion is a noun.
Remember & Memory
Remember = to have something in your mind or to bring something back into your mind.

2(b) Words are usually stored in brain when they are used often. For example, most of us will remember the word freedom and we hardly remember the word of liberty as we are used to the word freedom. On the other hand, for those politicians and those who work in law firm, they will remember the word liberty well as they are used to it and use it often. Besides, in our brain, when there are two words that are similar in meaning, we, as the normal human being can differentiate them well when we use them. However, for the aphasic patients, they cannot distinguish them well and usually, they will use the words that are close to them where they use it very often.
3. (a) There is a horse under a new sidesaddle. (wrong arrangement of words)
(b) We see many girls in happy days. ( wrong arrangement of words.)
( c) I’ll learn to ride a new bike. (using the wrong word- instead of using challenge, we should use learn
to ride)
(d) I’m surprised that there’s no glamour. (wrong syntax)
(e) Are there three chairs in the room? (wrong grammar)
(f) Mike and Peter are happy. (Wrong grammar)
(g) Bill and John like hot dogs. ( Wrong grammar)
(h)Proliferate is to increase quickly in number. (wrong meaning)

8. (a) Wernicke’s aphasic
(b) Broca’s aphasic
(c) Wernicke’s aphasic
(d) Broca’s aphasic
9. No. Because from the play, we can find that Hamlet is different and everyone understand him in a personal way. Hamlet is angry, dejected, depressed and brooding; he is manic, elated, enthusiastic and energetic too. Besides, he is dark and suicidal, a man who loathes himself and his fate. Yet, at the same time, he is an existential thinker who accepts that he must deal with life on its own terms, that he must choose to meet it head on. Thus, Hamlet with such unique and strong character, is not an aphasic patient.

9 According to the whole the act II, we think Hamlet isn't aphasia.Though we can not understand his real meaning, but we can see he is trying to say his real thought by using his expeirence. The way he speaks, and the words he uses, show his own emotions.

a) It should be in standard grammatical order : “There is a new sidesaddle under the horse”. The patient has deviated subject and predicate, and wrong article.
b) The sentence suppose to be : “In days we see many happy girls”.
The patient has deviated the object in the sentence with subject.
c) The correct sentence should be “I’ll challenge you with my new bike”. The patient has deviated pronouns and wrongly use the article.
d) It should be
e) It should be “Are there three chairs in this room”. There is an error in the subject – verb agreement. Since the subject is in plural form (three chairs), so the verb use must be “are” instead of “is”.
f) It should be “Mike and Peter are happy”. Again, there is an error in the subject – verb agreement. Since the subject is in plural form (three chairs), so the verb use must be “are” instead of “is”.
g) The correct sentence should be “Bill and John like hot dogs”. Bill and John is refered to as “they” in pronouns, in the rules of subject – verb agreement, “they” should be followed plural verb which is “like” rather than “likes”
h) Uninterpretable

9. Hamlet is definitely not aphasic. His cleverness with words has shown in the play, unambiguously. In addition, he owns great competency skill on rhetoric and even uses metaphors and anaphora. Hamlet simply enjoys teasing people and fooling them with what he says. Therefore, this certainly proves that he is not aphasic because an aphasic patient will produce jargon and nonsense words, whereas Hamlet is highly capable of constructing good sentences and using literary languages to fully express himself.

2a.
(i)
Liberty / Freedom
Both indicate the meaning of not under anyone or anything’s control. Liberty mostly refers to country or group. Freedom mostly refers to an individual.
Canary / Parrot
Both are bird. They are different kind of bird.
Abroad / Overseas
Both indicate the meaning of in or to another country or countries. Overseas is more specific to a country that you have to cross a ocean to reach.
Large / Long
Both are adjectives. Large describes things in size or amount, long describes things in distance or time.
Short / Small
Both are adjectives. Short measures distance or time, small measures things’ size or amount.
Tall / Long
Both are adjectives. Tall measures height, and long measures distance or time.
(ii)
Decide / Decision
Both are about choosing or making judgements. Decide: transitive verb, meaning-- choosing between some choices; decision: uncountable noun, meaning-- the choice we have made.
Conceal / Concealment
Both are about hiding something from someone. Conceal is transitive verb while concealment is uncountable noun.
Portray / Portrait
Both are about describing something or somebody. Portray is more to word describing, portrait is more to picture describing.
Bathe / Bath
Both are about washing / cleaning body. Bathe is a verb while bath is a noun.
Speak Discussion
Both are about talking. Speak only have one speaker but discussion have many people giving their opinion. Moreover, speak is verb and discussion is noun.
Remember / Memory
Both are about having something in mind. Remember is a verb, it means memorizing something; memory is a noun, it means a people’s ability to remember.
2b. Words in groups (i) and (ii) share similiarity in regard of certain aspects. We are likely to store these words in the brain according to their close resemblance and definition. For instance, although canary and parrot look different, they are still grouped as the same species—bird. Words like “decide” and “decision”, “conceal” and “concealment”, “bathe” and“bath” apparently show the likeness of meaning. The usage for these words, however, is different, based on whether they are: verbs or nouns. While some adjectives are to show measurement “large”, “long”, “small”, “tall” and “short”. These words remind us of shapes, sizes and forms.
