Introduction
 The forms of the language can be expressed different
meanings or a meaning can be expressed in different
forms
One form many meanings A tense can express different meanings depending of
the verbs and time markers.
 The present continuous tense can mean present and
future. For example
 I am not reading
Present
I am watching tv tomorrow
future (time marker)
One meaning, many forms A meaning or concept can be expresed in different forms
 We can use different words or stuctures to express the same tense
in future. For example:
 I´ll do the homework tomorrow
 I’m going to do the homework tomorrow
 The future tense meaning depends on what the speaker want to
express about. He or she can express situations such as fixed
arrangements, offers, plans , schedules, but all these expressions
use structures of the same tense
Both sentences
express the
same meanig
using different
words
 Also a word can be expressed in different ways. A word
has different connotations (Connotation is the meaning
that a word can have in adition of its literal meanig, it
means that a the use of a word can vary deppending on
different aspects such as if the word is formal and
informal, the trust that a person can have with others,
etc.). For example:
 Smart can be applied to learned inferences, such as
making smart business or emotional decisions.
 On the other hand intelligenceis something with which
you are born. It doesn’t change because it is a measure of
your ability to learn
