ENG302 -- Topic: Semantics and Pragmatics - Assignment 5 James Madison University

Instructions: [Your answers to this assignment should be written out clearly (or typed :) ). As an "ungraded" assignment, your work will be collected but will be marked only as an acceptable or unacceptable effort.]

• Find a short paragraph (maybe three or four moderate sentences) and attempt to replace all the nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs with synonyms. The synonmys should be one word where possible, but a short phrase is okay if necessary. Submit both versions, and also note which words were problematic and why. In what ways, if any, does your second paragraph overall seem different from your starting paragraph?
