Word Similarity, Speech Acts, and Making Meaning of Language

Complete all three parts of this assignment.

Part A: Word Similarity Chart

Use the text for this course, the University Library, the Internet, and/or other resources to complete the following chart. 

Indicate, in the chart, whether the words in the Word Group column are hyponyms, synonyms, antonyms, or homophones. Be sure to list your answers in the Type of Similarity column. One-word answers are all you need; explanations are not necessary.

(Are you struggling with hyponyms vs. synonyms? For each group of words, fill in this blank: All of these words can be described as ___. If the word in the blank is a different word (e.g., Roses, lilies, and petunias can all be described as flowers.), then you have hyponyms. If the word in the blank is one of the words already in the group (e.g., Cleaning, scrubbing, and wiping can all be described as cleaning.), then you have synonyms.)
