e. Simone De Beauvoir deictic^ not deictic Explain what is a deictic expression in your own words. Write 50-80 words. Cite if appropriate. 0.15/0.25 p

A deictic expression is a word or phrase whose reference depends on the context. This is the time, place, or situation it is happening. These words or phrases need to have contextual information in order to be completely understood by the hearer, and because of that the speaker uses it only when he or she knows that the hearer will understand who or what is being spoken about. for example, if I talk about “The university” we know that we are talking about UNAHUR because we all share that universe of discourse. e. Choose one word and provide its stereotype, prototype and examples of its extension. 0.8/1p lamp – phone – bed Your choice > bed Stereotype Prototype examples of its extension.

YES NO In those cases where there is entailment, how do you explain it?

There is entailment because the second propositions are contained in the first ones; that is, the proposition on the right is implied by the proposition on the left, so it is unnecessary information. k.
