The distinction between language and discourse is readily apparent to anyone who reflects on the nature of language.
Language exists in the abstract; it has a lexicon and grammatical rules as its input and sentences as its output. Discourse is a
concrete manifestation of language, and it is produced, necessarily, in a specific context that involves not only linguistic
elements but also the circumstances of their production: the interlocutors, the time and place, the relations prevailing
among these extralinguistic elements. We are no longer concerned with sentences as such, but with sentences that have
been produced, or, to put it more succinctly, with utterances.

1) Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

Abhinavagupta speaks of four distinct functions of words, abhidhā, lakṣaṇā and vyanjanā, and arranges them under four
separate classes: abhidhā is the power of the words to signify the primary meaning; this primary meaning refers only to the
universal and not to the particular. In a sentence the individual words by their primary definition of abhidhā refer only to
the isolated word‐meanings. The syntactic relation for these is conveyed by the tātparyaśakti of the words. The intention
of the speaker, or the general purport of the utterance, is obviously to give a unified purposeful sentence‐meaning. Hence
the words are considered to have a power to convey the syntactic relation among the various isolated word‐meanings. This
power is called tātparyaśakti. Lakṣaṇā is the third power recognized according to this theory; it is accepted only when the
primary meanings cannot be syntactically connected to give a meaning. Abhinavagupta says that even according to this
theory vyanjanā or suggestion will have to be accepted as the fourth function of words.

universal and not to the particular. In a sentence the individual words by their primary definition of abhidhā refer only to
the isolated word‐meanings. The syntactic relation for these is conveyed by the tātparyaśakti of the words. The intention
of the speaker, or the general purport of the utterance, is obviously to give a unified purposeful sentence‐meaning. Hence
the words are considered to have a power to convey the syntactic relation among the various isolated word‐meanings. This
power is called tātparyaśakti. Lakṣaṇā is the third power recognized according to this theory; it is accepted only when the
primary meanings cannot be syntactically connected to give a meaning. Abhinavagupta says that even according to this
theory vyanjanā or suggestion will have to be accepted as the fourth function of words.

4) Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

Abhinavagupta speaks of four distinct functions of words, abhidhā, lakṣaṇā and vyanjanā, and arranges them under four
separate classes: abhidhā is the power of the words to signify the primary meaning; this primary meaning refers only to the
universal and not to the particular. In a sentence the individual words by their primary definition of abhidhā refer only to
the isolated word‐meanings. The syntactic relation for these is conveyed by the tātparyaśakti of the words. The intention
of the speaker, or the general purport of the utterance, is obviously to give a unified purposeful sentence‐meaning. Hence

Abhidhā as the primary lexical meaning refers to

(1) an object (2) a class of objects

(3) both an object and the class (4) neither an object nor a class

Vyanjanā, the suggestive meaning, is a

(1) lexical property (2) figurative property
