Blooms taxonomy:

Bloom's Taxonomy is a hierarchical framework used to classify educational


learning objectives into levels of complexity and specificity

The taxonomy consists of six levels, from basic to complex: Knowledge,


Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation. These
levels represent different stages of cognitive processing and help educators
create learning objectives and assessments that target specific cognitive
skills.

Additionally, in the revised version of Bloom's Taxonomy, there are also three domains
of learning:

1. Cognitive Domain: This domain relates to intellectual knowledge and skills. It includes
the levels of Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and
Evaluation.
2. Affective Domain: This domain involves emotions, attitudes, and values.
3. Psychomotor Domain: This domain relates to physical skills and actions.

Phonology:
Phonology is the study of the sounds of a language, including the way
sounds function and pattern in languages. It focuses on the specific
phonetic elements, such as consonants and vowels, their properties, and
how they are organized and used to convey meaning within a particular
language system. Phonologists analyze the sound patterns and rules that
govern pronunciation in languages.

Sound phonemic symbols:


Phonemic symbols, often represented using the International Phonetic
Alphabet (IPA), are a set of standardized symbols used to represent the
distinct phonemes (meaningful sound units) in a language

Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) along with their corresponding English sounds:


 /b/ as in "bat"
 /t/ as in "tap"
 /d/ as in "dap"
 /k/ as in "cat"
 /g/ as in "gat"
 /m/ as in "mat"
 /n/ as in "nat"
 /s/ as in "sat"
 /z/ as in "zap"
 /f/ as in "fat"
 /v/ as in "vat"
 /θ/ as in "thick"
 /ð/ as in "this"
 /ʃ/ as in "ship"
Transcription:
transcription involves the conversion of spoken language or genetic
information into written or symbolic form, serving different purposes in
linguistics, healthcare, research, and biology.

Syllables:
Syllables are units of sound in a word that are typically made up of a vowel
sound and any accompanying consonant sounds. They are the building
blocks of words and are important for understanding pronunciation and
rhythm in spoken language. For example, the word "water" has two syllables
("wa-ter"), while the word "apple" has two syllables as well ("ap-ple").
Syllables help determine the pronunciation and stress patterns of words in
various languages.

Stress pattern:

In linguistics, the stress pattern of a word refers to the specific syllable


within the word that is pronounced with greater emphasis or prominence.
Stressed syllables are often louder, longer, and pronounced with a higher
pitch than unstressed syllables.
For example, in English:

 In the noun "record" (ˈrekərd), the stress is on the first syllable, indicating a
physical or digital storage medium for information.
 In the verb "record" (riˈkɔrd), the stress is on the second syllable, indicating
the action of storing information.
INTONATION:
Intonation refers to the rising and falling patterns of pitch in speech. It
involves variations in pitch, tone, and stress that convey information
beyond the basic meaning of words.
for example, a rising intonation at the end of a sentence often indicates a
question in English ("You're going there?"). Falling intonation at the end of
a sentence, on the other hand, typically indicates a statement ("You are
going there.").

PRONUNCIATION:/ACCENT”
Pronunciation refers to the way in which a word or a language is spoken,
including the correct articulation, stress, intonation, and rhythm of words and
sounds. It encompasses the way individual sounds (phonemes) are produced
and how these sounds are combined to form words. Clear and accurate
pronunciation is crucial for effective communication, as it ensures that
spoken words are understood by others.

DIALECTS:
Dialects are regional or social variations of a language characterized by
distinct vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. These differences arise
from geographical, cultural, or social factors, reflecting the unique identity of
specific communities.
Syntax:

Syntax refers to the set of rules and principles that govern the structure of
sentences in a language, including word order, sentence structure, and the
relationships between words and phrases.
Pronouns:
Pronouns are words that are used in place of nouns to avoid repetition and
make sentences less cumbersome. They refer to specific people, places,
things, or ideas without naming them explicitly. Common examples include
words like "he," "she," "it," "they," "we," and "you
Adjectives:
Adjectives are words used to describe or modify nouns (people, places,
things, or ideas) by providing additional information about their qualities,
characteristics, or attributes. Adjectives can convey various qualities such as
size, color, shape, age, emotions, and more.

For example, in the phrase "a beautiful flower," "beautiful" is the adjective
describing the noun "flower."

Adverbs:
Adverbs are words that modify verbs, adjectives, other adverbs, or entire
sentences. They provide additional information about how, when, where, or
to what extent an action is performed, or how an adjective or another adverb
is characterized. Adverbs often end in "-ly," but not always. For example, in
the sentence "She speaks loudly," the adverb "loudly" describes how she
speaks, indicating the manner of the action

Predicate:
It provides information about what the subject is doing, what is happening
to it, or what state it is in. For example, in the sentence "She is reading a
book," the predicate is "is reading a book," where "is reading" is the verb
phrase that indicates the action performed by the subject "she."

Run of sentences:

It seems like you might be referring to a "run-on sentence." A run-on


sentence occurs when two or more independent clauses (complete thoughts)
are joined together without proper punctuation or conjunctions, making the
sentence excessively long or confusing.

Types of sentences:
There are several types of sentences in English, each serving a different purpose in
communication. Here are the main types:

1. Declarative Sentences: Declarative sentences make statements or convey information.


They end with a period. For example: "The sun rises in the east."
2. Interrogative Sentences: Interrogative sentences ask questions. They end with a
question mark. For example: "What is your name?"
3. Imperative Sentences: Imperative sentences give commands, instructions, or requests.
They can end with a period or an exclamation mark, depending on the tone. For example:
"Please close the door."
4. Exclamatory Sentences: Exclamatory sentences express strong emotion or
surprise. They end with an exclamation mark. For example: "What a beautiful
sunset!"
5. Conditional Sentences: Conditional sentences express hypothetical situations and
usually contain an "if" clause. They describe something that will happen only if a
certain condition is met. For example: "If it rains, we will stay indoors."
6. Complex Sentences: Complex sentences contain one independent clause (a
complete thought) and at least one dependent clause (a fragment that cannot
stand alone as a sentence). For example: "I will go to the store if I have enough
money."
Clause phrase:

Clause: A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate


(verb) and forms a complete thought. Clauses can function independently as
sentences (independent clauses) or as parts of sentences (dependent or
subordinate clauses). For example:
 Independent Clause: "She reads books."
 Dependent Clause: "Because she reads books."

Phrase: A phrase is a group of related words that does not contain both a
subject and a predicate. Phrases function as single parts of speech within a
sentence. There are various types of phrases, such as noun phrases, verb
phrases, prepositional phrases, and adjective phrases, each serving a specific
purpose in a sentence. For example:

 Noun Phrase: "The big red apple"


 Verb Phrase: "is studying for exams"
 Prepositional Phrase: "in the park"
 Adjective Phrase: "very talented in music"

In summary, a clause contains a subject and a predicate, forming a complete


thought, while a phrase is a group of related words without a subject-verb
combination and serves as a single unit within a sentence.
Verb catagories and types:

Verbs can be categorized in various ways based on their functions, forms, and meanings.
Here are the main categories and types of verbs:

Categories of Verbs:

1. Action Verbs: These verbs express physical or mental actions. Examples


include "run," "think," and "laugh."
2. Linking Verbs: Linking verbs connect the subject of a sentence with a subject
complement (noun, adjective, or pronoun) that describes or renames the
subject. Common linking verbs include "is," "am," "are," "was," and "were."
3. Helping Verbs (Auxiliary Verbs): Helping verbs are used with main verbs
to create various tenses, moods, voices, and aspects. Examples include "is,"
"have," "can," "will," and "might."
4. Modal Verbs: Modal verbs express possibility, necessity, ability, or
permission. Examples include "can," "could," "shall," "should," "will," "would,"
"may," and "might."
Types of Verbs:

1. Regular Verbs: Regular verbs follow a predictable pattern when forming


their past simple and past participle forms. For example, "walk" becomes
"walked" in the past tense.
2. Irregular Verbs: Irregular verbs do not follow the standard pattern when
forming past simple and past participle forms. For example, "go" becomes
"went" in the past tense, and "eat" becomes "ate."
3. Transitive Verbs: Transitive verbs require a direct object to complete their
meaning. For example, in the sentence "She eats an apple," "eats" is a
transitive verb, and "an apple" is the direct object.
4. Intransitive Verbs: Intransitive verbs do not require a direct object to
complete their meaning. For example, in the sentence "He runs," "runs" is an
intransitive verb.
5. Reflexive Verbs: Reflexive verbs indicate that the subject and the object of
the verb are the same person or thing. These verbs are accompanied by
reflexive pronouns like "myself," "yourself," "himself," etc. For example, "I hurt
myself."
6. Phrasal Verbs: Phrasal verbs are verbs combined with one or more particles
(usually prepositions or adverbs) to create idiomatic expressions. For
example, "give up," "run into," "look after."
