SECTION A
Question 1
Language as a semiotic system “… is thought of as a system where the individual
elements – signs – take their overall meaning from how they are combined with other
elements” (Carter & Goddard, 2016, p. 45). Bearing this quotation in mind, study TEXT
A before you answer the questions that follow.
You may also refer to Table 1 (Aspects of language) which is attached but can also be
found on page 8 of Tutorial Letter 501.
TEXT A
What will 2021 bring? Never before have we started a new year with so many
questions, to which there are so little answers (or are there)?
A friend gave my 10-year-old grandson a little round grey object as a birthday
present recently, and I just could not figure out what it was, or why he was so excited
about it than the new swimming trunk decorated with huge and colourful toucans
that I gave him.
It turned out to be a mini smart speaker, or more precisely, an Artificial
intelligence voice-controlled assistant called a Google Home Speaker, apparently
designed to control the home by voice command, leaving your hands free to do other
things. After a swift little DIY procedure requiring a small screwdriver, he connected
another small device between the speaker and his bedside lamp . . .
After my bewildered questions . . . , he informed me that this little critter can
communicate with Google and is activated by him saying, “Hey Google”. He can
then ask Google whatever he wants to know.

1.1 The words in the sub-title of TEXT A: Never before have we started a new year with
so many questions, to which there are so little answers (or are there?) could be
arranged in a different way while maintaining the same meaning of the sentence.
Rearrange the order of the words in this sub-title without changing the meaning. The
re-arranged sentence must be grammatically correct.
