Question

“Schmidt (2001) argues that it ‘largely determines the course
of language development’ ” (lines 18-20)
“It should be remembered that advocates of both CLT and
TBLT have been using the term context mainly to refer to
linguistic and pragmatic features of language and language
use.” (lines 27-30) Which of the alternatives below correctly explains the use
of italics in the two fragments above? Alternativa A: The author intended to emphasize the words ‘determines’
and ‘context’ as they had been mentioned
previously. Ou Alternativa B: The author italicized the word ‘determines’ to stress the
idea of causation; the italics in ‘context’ substitutes for
quotation marks. Ou Alternativa C: The words ‘determines’ and ‘context’ were italicized for
emphasis since they represent ideas exposed by others,
not the author himself. Ou Alternativa D: The italics in the term ‘context’ refers to a newly-coined
term in LT methodology; the word ‘determines’ in italics
reveals that Schmidt was too authoritative in choosing
this term. Ou Alternativa E: Both words (‘determines’ and ‘context’) are terms
employed by others and explained by the author of this
text.
