1) Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the five question that follow :
Adults have metalinguistic knowledge: conscious, analytic, knowledge of their use of language, and often also formal
knowledge of the terminology of grammar. This gives them the means to learn in conscious and analytic ways seemingly
quite different from those of children. They are also able, to some extent, to monitor their speech‐comparing their
utterances with their conscious knowledge, and correcting accordingly. The learning style of children is more intuitive and,
it is reasonable to say, more ‘natural’.
The different learning styles of adults and children have been distinguished as ‘learning’ and ‘acquisition’. The conscious
and analytical approach of adults has been termed language learning, and the unconscious and spontaneous approach of
children language acquisition.
Some language teachers doubt whether adults, in speaking, can actually apply such rules as (for English speakers learning
Spanish) ‘The allophone of/d/ after vowel is [ð] or even ‘use a with human direct objects’. But learning such rules and using
them in doing classroom practice and homework may be useful as a way to obtain experience with the language, and
practice which child learners obtain naturally.

In the passage, the term ‘Intuitive has been associated with learning/acquisition of

(1) Children

Topic:‐ 31Linguistics_C

1) Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the five question that follow:
Earlier, we focused on the `scientific' analysis of linguistic meaning, particularly in relation to translation equivalence at the
level of individual words and phrases. In this unit, we continue the discussion of equivalence but widen the focus on
meaning and define it in terms of broader contextual categories such as culture and audience in both ST and TT.
Specifically, we will deal with the process of translation, the problems of establishing equivalent effect in translation and
how this factor, which draws heavily on context, affects meaning and determines the choice of translation method.
We also argued that to insist on full translatability across languages and cultures is to risk being incomprehensible (i.e.
producing TTs that are confusing at best). Similarly, to insist on full comprehensibility in translation is to perpetuate the
myth that there is no real difference between translation and other forms of communication. A more reasonable position to
take is perhaps to see translatability and comprehensibility in relative terms. These two principles are not always in conflict,
constantly pulling in opposite directions. In practice, an important assumption which translators entertain seems to be one
epitomized by something. Nida said many years ago, echoing Jakobson (1959): ‘Anything which can be said in one language
can be said in another, unless the form is an essential element of the message’ (Nida and Taber 1969:4).
