thanks mister micawber.

ok then, i will ask so much questions to you:)

and here is my 1st question: are there any differences between ortographic and phonological shape?

in my book it writes that' L2 learners may associate ortographic shape as phonological shape...

thanks

Orthographical shape is the spelling of a word or phrase; phonological shape is the sound.

Learners may associate ea = /i:/, as in beard, hear but then carry the association mistakenly to bear and bureau.

You look at a word in the dictionary, or read it, or hear it, and it is thereby INPUT into your mind-- it is STORED somewhere in your memory in a place and by a method which will allow you to find it and RETRIEVE it in order to use it appropriately.

This paradigm for the way the senses and memory work is via a computer metaphor.

In the case of my computer information is input through my keyboard, is kept in storage in my Documents files, and is ready for retrieval any time I wish to click open one of those files, and copy and paste them onto such a site as this.

Hi Marika, I am an italian girl. I study languages at university and I m conducting a work on the Homonimy.

For this reason I have studied very accurately the difference between homonimy and polysemy so I can help you.

Homonyms are those words without any semantic connection while polysemy is based on a metaphorical extension. This means that two words can have two different mean
