6. Look for a two (2)-paragraph reading text (of any kind) that encompass the
concepts and/or principles of Morphological and Syntactic Structures. Be
sure to carefully identify the morphemes (free or bound) and syntactic
categories used in the chosen reading text. Provision of logical reasons for the
identified morphemes and syntactic categories is highly necessary.

7. Employ the concepts and/or principles of Lexical Semantics and

Pragmatics (linguistic and situational contexts) in the passage found
below. Discuss the aforementioned in not less than 100 words.

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly
be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact,
you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully
round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in
the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark,
motionless, airless- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become
unbreakable, impenetrable, and irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at
least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside of Heaven
where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers of love is Hell."

C.S. Lewis

8. Come up with a two (2)-minute video on the Relevance of Linguistics in

the New Normal Scheme of Learning (Decent backdrop and audible sound
effects are required for the video discussion).
