With using SFL, the researchers try to analyze the tale’s story of Sabai Nan Aluih. The research aim is to identify the interpersonal meaning realized in that story and to reveal the speech function of language use in that story. The research design of this analysis is descriptive qualitative research. The object of this research is the interpersonal meaning analysis of clauses as exchange in the tale of Sabai Nan Aluih. The data of this research is the clauses as exchange in the story of Sabai Nan Aluih. The source of data which is used in this research is the documentation of the data research paper. The researchers use document analysis from the story of Sabai Nan Aluih as collecting data. The data is analyzed by using description method. In the interpersonal analysis, declarative mood dominates almost the story, it is about 91 %. And, the data analysis of speech function is found in the story of Sabai Nan Aluih, statement, question and command, in where statement is domination from the story about 94%.

Based on the material of the Udmurt language, the article considers a field approach to the study of a word meaning from psycholinguistic positions. The relevance of addressing the study of word semantics in this perspective is determined by the fact that such studies with native speakers of the Udmurt language have not been conducted before. Also, the material of this study will provide an opportunity for further cross-language comparative work. The main method of research is the free associative experiment (FAE), which allows a researcher to identify the most relevant lexical and semantic variants of a word for the experimental group of the Udmurt language speakers. The task of this type of work is to study the collective consciousness, which makes it necessary to conduct a mass survey in order to obtain a representative sample. The associative field obtained during the experiment is represents a model and tool for analyzing the semantics of a word. The composition of the associative field, the nature and ratio of reactions in it can significantly change the idea of the meaning of the word as a communicative unit. In order to communicate successfully, it is necessary to have not only a common code, but also a common knowledge about the associative environment of the word, i.e. its associative-verbal network. Associative field of any word has a core with the most frequent reactions and a periphery and is manifested in a variety of semantic, thematic-situational and evaluative-pragmatic relationships. This article presents an analysis of the associative fields of the Udmurt lexemes KORKA/HOUSE, ADYAMI /HUMAN and ULON/LIFE in order to identify the most relevant components of the word meaning for spea-kers of the Udmurt language. The experimental data obtained were consistently compared with the data from lexicographic sources in order to establish the psychologically relevant meaning of the studied words and their designated concepts.

This chapter presents a monadic analysis of conventional implicatures. These expressions are compositionally challenging and also seem to challenge the traditional semantics/pragmatics divide by straddling it. This chapter first introduces two main sorts of conventional implicature, appositives and expressives. It reviews one standard approach to capturing the dual nature of conventional implicatures, multidimensional semantic representations. It then reviews some challenges and argues that they do not entail abandoning multidimensionality. The chapter introduces a new multidimensional analysis using monads. Two examples are analysed in detail. The first is an example of a conventional implicature arising from an appositive. The second is an example of a conventional implicature arising from an expressive predicate, which is a more controversial case. The chapter shows that the enriched meaning analysis naturally extends to this case without imperilling the intuition behind multidimensionality. The chapter ends with some exercises to aid understanding.

AbstractCourts in the U.S. frequently apply a rule of statutory construction that calls for the words in laws to be given their “ordinary meaning.” The rule is based on the presumption that legislatures are most likely to have intended the language to be understood in their ordinary sense and on the value that people subject to such laws will more likely comprehend the rights and obligations granted to them. Courts are not, however, in accord when it comes to determining which of a term’s available meanings is the “ordinary” one. This article describes three methods for making this determination: the judge’s linguistic intuitions, dictionary definitions, and reference to linguistic corpora. We argue that the use of corpus analysis enhances the legal system’s ability to rely on actual distributional facts about word usage, thus enhancing the accuracy of ordinary meaning analysis.We apply the three methods to a case pending before the U.S. Supreme Court,Analyses based on the intuitions of linguists and on dictionary definitions are consistent with this result, although less robust. We conclude that if the Court wishes to be faithful to the ordinary meaning of the statutory language, it should rule that the statute does not apply to this situation.
