Tissias refused to pay the tuition for the teacher hadn’t past his knowledge to him. They resorted to judge and both of them thought he would win the case. Tissias thought if he won the case, he would not pay the tuition, if he lost the case, that meant his teacher Corax hadn’t passed his knowledge to him. Anyway, he wouldn’t pay the tuition. But Corax thought, he could get the tuition. Because if he won the case, the judge would allow the tuition to him, if he lost the case, that meant he had already passed his knowledge to his student Tissias, that meant Tissias should pay the tuition. But who would pay the tuition ? Can Corax get the tuition from Tissias? 3 minutes Step 1: questions: what is definition? Why there comes deviation in English? Step2: example for illustration 35 minutes Explain and discuss the motivation of deviation from two aspects: ineffableness and paradox. Examples are used Triangle theory is introduced. Use the story of Corax and Tissias to explain what’s paradox
The cause of paradox and ineffableness can be explained by Explain the motivation Semantic Triangle by Ogden Richards of deviation by Interpretation of triangle theory Concept or thought a word symbolizes a concept a concept refers to a thing Referent symbol or word thing Summarize the a word stands for a referent motivation of deviation The birth of deviation lies in two aspects: on one hand,language is limited to the linear alignment.Despite the diversification of arrangement of language elements,the linear alignment would be in contradiction with the pluralism and complexity of the meaning it eventually conveys. On the other hand,linguistic signs are characteristic of polysemy and semantic transference.Language allows users to take deviant devices to Explain the rhetorical bridge the discrepancy between the insufficiency of language and the effects of deviation. boundlessness of thoughts. 30 minutes Step1:The students are required to interpret the Deviation as a effective method for limitedness poem of EE Cummings linear alignment V.S.pluralism and complexity of the meaning Step2:pair discussion This strange formula passing on strange information caught my attention and of in-depth thoughts:deviation produces prominent effects.

The birth of deviation lies in two aspects: on one hand, language is limited to the linear alignment. Despite the diversification of arrangement of language elements, the linear alignment would be in contradiction with the pluralism and complexity of the meaning it eventually conveys. On the other hand, linguistic signs are characteristic of polysemy and semantic transference. Language allows users to take deviant devices to bridge the discrepancy between the insufficiency of language and the boundlessness of thoughts. Deviation as a effective method for limitedness linear alignment V.S. pluralism and complexity of the meaning This strange formula passing on strange information caught my attention and in-depth thoughts: deviation produces prominent effects. Explain the motivation of deviation by Interpretation of triangle theory Summarize the motivation of deviation Explain the rhetorical effects of deviation. 30 minutes Step1: The students are required to interpret the poem of EE Cummings Step2: pair discussion of The poem to explain the rhetorical effects of deviation. Step3: make a summary
As the poem by Cumming shows us:the aesthetic pleasure is derived from th e typographical deviation which conjures a picture of a lonely image of"I" What attracts us most is the shape of the poem,which drops down the page j ust like the leaf falling from the tree,and the narrow strip-like shape,of whic h the twenty-three character seems overwhelmed by the white space,looks li ke the lonely figure"I".This poem consists of just four words,which splits i nto two distinct phrases-"a leaf falls"and "loneliness".At the first glance,t he connection between them is tenuous,for the word"loneliness"is an abstra ct concept,while"a leaf falls"is a concrete act. The wind is drifting the leave Model reference And the floating leave falls in a man's palm The man looks at the leave Which is smaller than his palm Feeling very,very heavy... For there is a lonely lady Weeping sadly In an ignored thus moribund corner.
