While they can generate profits, there are also significant risks of fraud due to lack of regulation and transparency.

The Appropriateness in Advice-Giving From a Cross-Cultural PerspectiveYasser Al-Shboul
This cross-cultural study investigates the differences in the perceptions of the appropriateness in advice giving in English between American English native speakers (AEL1) and Jordanian learners of English as a foreign language (JEFL). Data were collected using an adopted version of a Multiple Choice Questionnaire (MCQ) by Hinkel (1997). The questionnaire consists of eight situations that required advice giving or opting out to a peer acquaintance (equal status) and an instructor (higher status). Each situation was accompanied by three MC selections in random order: direct advice, hedge advice, and indirect comments. The fourth selection was an explicit choice for opting out that remained constant for all selections. Results revealed that both groups have the same perception of the social distance in the situations involving peer acquaintance and instructor. They, however, differed in the types of advice they showed as the appropriate choice. JEFL participants considered direct advice or hedge advice as appropriate option to be used with peer acquaintance and with instructors where in American culture the AEL1 participants found these strategies as least likely appropriate. The paper suggests EFL programs that promote awareness for JEFL on various appropriate conversational strategies in English. The results are expected to be useful information in cross-cultural comparison studies and other related areas.

This document provides an overview of key concepts in linguistics related to how words relate to things in the real world. It discusses several perspectives on this topic, including:
- The problem of directly pointing to what a word like "bird" refers to, as no single example fully captures it.
- Ideational accounts that words refer to mental ideas or images, but these run into issues of being too general.
- Direct reference accounts that words simply refer to the sets of objects they apply to, but this cannot explain meaningful words that have no referents, like "unicorn".
- The distinction between denotation (what is referred to) and connotation/intension (properties implied), which

5. Type of context
Lexical context
Grammatical context
Situational context
6. Lexical context
Lexical: ( „lexis‟ means words in Greek.)
To find meaning: Look for words around it
Example:
You have just been introduced to an exchange student called
Chinua, who comes from an exotic, faraway land, and has a
tendency to sprinkle his English sentences with words from his
native language. One day, he points outside the window, and
exclaims, “Look! A xikuptuk with multicoloured feathers just flew
away chirping to its nest!”
What would you say “xikuptuk” means?
Most probably you‟ll say it‟s a bird and its correct.
Looking at the words „feather‟, „flew‟, „chirping‟ and „nest‟ can thus
conclude that „xikuptuk‟ must be a bird.
7. Grammatical context
We study the parts of speech of word.
If it is a noun,
we see if it is plural or singular.
If it is a verb,
we look at the tense.
8. Various part of speech
Part of speech Definition Examples
Noun A word used to refer to a person, Candidate, citizen,
a place, a thing, or an abstract cinema, house, cat, car,
idea such as a feeling or quality rage, beauty, art, finery
(in short, a naming word)
Verb A word that denotes action. For Hiss, bark, drive, devour,
example, what people or thing do, clamber, flow, plummet,
or what happens to them heave, hurl, plunge

noun/pronoun (or simply put, a fantastic, magnanimous,
word that describes a sadistic, towering
noun/pronoun)
Adverb A word that modifies a verb, or It happened inside the
give more information about it, or house, the poem was
about the following adjective or beautifully written. It was
adverb extremely boring.
9. Example:
Grammatical context
Now, what if Chinua says to you, “A
talumba just growled at me!” What would
you say a „talumba‟ is?
„talumba‟ is a noun because it follows the
article „a‟.
find the word „growled‟.
Put the two clues together, you can conclude
that „talumba‟ could be a bear or dog.
10. Example:
Grammatical context
But what if he had said, “A grumpy old katumba
growled angrily at me, brandishing his walking
stick in the air.”?
Looking at the grammatical context:
katumba‟ follows 2 adjectives and precedes a verb.
Looking at the lexical context:
There is still „growled‟
The „katumba‟ is grumpy (used on humans and not
animals.)
Finally, the pronoun „his‟ indicates that the „katumba‟ is
a male.
Thus, the „katumba‟ is a man.
11. Situational context
According to its name, we look for situation
for this kind of context.
i.e. what is happening, where it is happening,
and who are involved.
12. Example:
Supposing your uncle telephones you from Las
Vegas and excitedly announces, “Hey! I‟ve got
wonderful news! My baby just won a one million
dollar jackpot at the casino!”
What does “baby” mean in this context?
Maybe an infant? You will know that it is not because “My
baby” has been using a jackpot machine at Las Vegas
casino and you need to be 18 years old to enter it.
Who could a man call “baby”? His “baby” have to be 18
years old, thus we can conclude that his “baby” is
probably his wife, girlfriend, fiancee, daughter (who is 18
years old) or even son.
