SETY

LEKSYKALNE

 Co to są sety leksykalne?
Set leksykalne to zestawy zdań z luką, w której brakuje jednego słowa -
dokładnie tego samego dla wszystkich zdań w zestawie.
W zbiorze znajdują się 3 rodzaje zestawów. Każdy z nich składa się z:
 trzech zdań,
 dwóch zdań,
 dwóch zdań z trzema podpowiedziami.
Zadanie polega na rozpoznaniu jednego słowa, które uzupełni
wszystkie trzy zdania. Słowem-odpowiedzią najczęściej jest
czasownik, rzeczownik, przymiotnik lub przysłówek - to samo
słowo, w tej samej formie, użyte w dwóch lub trzech różnych
kontekstach.
Jak rozpoznać słowo, którego brakuje w zdaniach?
Przeczytaj zdanie po zdaniu w zestawie. Jaka jest tematyka
poszczególnych zdań? Czy potrafisz sobie przypomnieć kilka słów
związanych z tą tematyką? Sprawdź, czy nie ma wśród nich słowa,
które logicznie uzupełni wszystkie zdania.
Przeczytaj zdania kolejny raz. Czy wśród nich jest jedno, którego
lukę potrafisz uzupełnić od razu, bez wątpliwości? Czy to słowo
pasuje również do pozostałych zdań w zestawie? Dlaczego tak?
Dlaczego nie?
Przeanalizuj wiadomości na temat luk w zestawie. Poszukaj
związku logicznego pomiędzy poszczególnymi lukami w
zdaniach. Co mają ze sobą wspólnego? Jaka treść je wypełni?
Czynność? Miejsce? Osoba? Cecha? Czy znasz jedno słowo, które
oddaje kategorie wszystkich luk?
Przeanalizuj uważnie pozycję składniową luki. Jaką funkcję
gramatyczną pełni w zdaniu? Czy jest to rzeczownik, czasownik,
przymiotnik, a może przysłówek?
Przeanalizuj uważnie bezpośrednie „sąsiedztwo” luki. Jakich
informacji o poszukiwanym słowie dostarczają słowa przed i za
luką? Czy brakujące słowo łączy się z przyimkiem? Czy brakujące
słowo jest częścią kolokacji, idiomu, czasownika frazalnego
lub przysłowia?
W jakiej formie gramatycznej powinno być brakujące słowo?
W liczbie pojedynczej czy mnogiej? W jakim czasie? W której osobie?
Sprawdzam!
„beyond question” (dosłownie: „poza pytaniem”, czyli „bez wątpliwości”);
„this tricky question cannot be answered” („podchwytliwe pytanie, na które nie można odpowiedzieć od razu”)
”the man in question” (dosłownie: „człowiek w pytaniu” „człowiek, o którym rozmawiano, którego wcześniej wspominano”)
Przykład:
..............................................................................................................
Nina’s ability to use sign language to
communicate with her deaf sister is beyond … .
This tricky … cannot be answered straightaway.
She told the police that the man in … was still
working in the same department.
Znaczenia, jakie tworzy poszukiwane słowo
w trzech zdania są podobne:
Zdanie 1: wątpliwości lub ich brak;
Zdanie 2: podchwytliwa kwestia do odpowiedzi;
Zdanie 3: człowiek omawiany wcześniej, będący
przedmiotem rozważań.
Znaczenie poszukiwane w trzech zdaniach wyraża
się w „poszukiwaniu odpowiedzi”, „dowiedzeniu
się czegoś”, „kwestii, zagadnieniu, problemie,
wątpliwości.”
Najbardziej podstawowe znaczenie
poszukiwanego słowa dostępne jest w zdaniu 2:
wiemy, że jednoznaczą frazę „answer a tricky ...”
może uzupełnić rzeczownik QUESTION.
W zdaniu 1 poszukiwane słowo utworzy z
przyimkiem ’beyond’ kolokację, która nada
zdaniu znaczenie: „There is no doubt that Nina
can use sign language.”
W zdaniu 2 poszukiwany rzeczownik łączy się
również z czasownikiem ’answer’ (what is tricky
and cannot be answered straightaway?).
W zdaniu 3 ’the man in ...’ to człowiek, o którym
była mowa, wcześniej wspomniany przez policję.
Poszukiwane słowo jest rzeczownikiem. Świadczy
o tym pozycja luki we wszystkich zdaniach:
Zdanie 1: przyimek ’beyond’ tworzy z
rzeczownikiem wyrażenie przyimkowe.
Zdanie 2: przymiotnik ’tricky’ określa rzeczownik.
Zdanie 3: przyimek ’in’ tworzy z rzeczownikiem
wyrażenie przyimkowe.
Zdanie 2 nie pozostawia wątpliwości co do liczby
rzeczownika. Zaimek wskazujący „this” łączy się
jedynie z rzeczownikami w liczbie pojedynczej.
Prawidłowa odpowiedź to QUESTION.
