0Hello02br 02br 00I've read the rules for the forum, but could not find a place to post this message, that is why, I'm doing it here and count on your understanding.02br 02br 00I'm writing a diploma paper on 'script prototypicallity and it's significance in vocabulary retrieval' and don't have any major problems with the theory in it. I have to carry out a study or research on different situations and prototypical words or phrases used in those situations. The problem is, I'm not a native speaker, and don't know how a prototypical situation e.g. at the doctor's, looks like. I have already managed to write down some phrases used (in my opinion) when making a call, or when being at the airport (preparing for the flight and the flight itself)02br 02br 01i00Telephone call02i02br 02br 00101sup00st02sup00 – pick up the phone02br 02br 00201sup00nd02sup00 – dial number02br 02br 00301sup00rd02sup00 – line engaged02br 02br 00401sup00th02sup00 – dial number once again02br 02br 00501sup00th02sup00 – asked to hold02br 02br 00601sup00th02sup00 – to be put through02br 02br 00701sup00th02sup00 – greet02br 02br 00801sup00th02sup00 – leave message02br 02br 00901sup00th02sup00 – ask to call back02br 02br 01i00At the airport/Airflight02i02br 02br 00101sup00st02sup00 – check in 02br 02br 00201sup00nd02sup00 – go through passport control02br 02br 00301sup00rd02sup00 – go to the departure gate02br 02br 00401sup00th02sup00 – baggage allowance enquiry02br 02br 00501sup00th02sup00 – go into departure lounge02br 02br 00601sup00th02sup00 – board the plane02br 02br 00701sup00th02sup00 – asking for window seat02br 02br 00801sup00th02sup00 – listen to safety instructions02br 02br 00901sup00th02sup00 – fasten your seatbelt02br 02br 001001sup00th02sup00 – land02br 02br 001101sup00th02sup00 – unfasten your seatbelt02br 02br 001201sup00th02sup00 – leave the plane02br 02br 001301sup00th02sup00 – collect your baggage02br 02br 001401sup00th02sup00 – go through passport control02br 02br 001501sup00th02sup00 – go through customs02br 02br 001601sup00th02sup00 – go into the arrivals hall02br 02br 00The thing is, I have to write down, at least 12-20 phrases for each situation, so I'm still missing some vocabulary for making a phone call, with at least three other situations, to which I haven't got any vocabulary.02br 02br 00If anyone feels like helping me, please give me some some hints or prompts, what kind of phrases can I use in other situations (with prototypical order) e.g. shopping, at the doctors, at the hairdresser, eat out, at a football match, buying sth, etc.02br 02br 00I'd also like to emphasize that it's cannot be only a sheer dialogue, there have to be some words that aren't so widely know by second/foreign language learners (like engaged line, to put through, or hold in a phone call conversation)02br 02br 00Cheers02br 02br 00Slavo0-
