Article Evaluation

The article I decided to look up was truth condition. Is a fairly short passage that mainly gives the reader the definition of a truth condition. One thing that distracted me from reading this article was the lack of information this article or definition had to offer. I believe the article it's mainly neutral, although I do feel as if pragmatics gets mixed with semantics because people don't quite like the separation of the two. Overall is a simple definition about truth condition that allows the reader to get a basic understanding about the topic. Being that said there's a lot of information that is not covered. The complexity of truth condition is not well explained. This article does not offer any citations.

The topic my group will be covering is The International Corpus of English. I want to add more citations to the data provided, as well as well as external links where people can directly go to for more information. UTA library has a book that I think will be helpful for this page. There's also more history that can be added and the list of participants needs to be revised accuracy.

This is the list of some of the material I plan to use for this page:

English from around the world is one of the factors that has contributed to the rapid change in the Corpus of English. Many linguists work together to find the most accurate description of English. Being that said, they work with countries that use English as their L1. English being a language used in different places throughout the world, many contributions have to revise to account for accurate information to ICE and it's history.
