THE POSSIBILITY OF SEMANTIC ANALYSES

AT A NUMBER OF POINTS IN THE COURSE WE ENCOUNTER THE POSSIBILITY OF SEMANTIC ANALYSES IN THE FORM OF DIAGRAMS OR PICTURES RATHER THAN DEFINTIONS. WHAT ARE THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THIS FORMAT?  Please number the pages. An essay is a learning task first and an assessment task second. In writing the essay, you are expected to consult and consider as wide a range of research literature as possible; the extent to which you have done so will be taken into account in the assessment of the essay. Materials can be found on the course reading list, in the textbook, in the bibliographies of the works cited there, and by searching the library catalogue and databases accessible from it, such as the Linguistics and Language Behaviour Abstracts database.
