Date: 18-Jan-2010 From: Heather McLoud <tirtzah_chaiyahoo.com> Subject: Interesting Analogy Question E-mail this message to a friend I was asked by the fine people at ''Ask a Linguist'' to submit this here. I tried writing a GRE-style analogy question which goes as follows: semantics : semiotics as sentence : _________ When I wrote the question I thought the answer was ''alphabet''. However, I also included the potential answer ''grammar''. Several of my friends thought the answer should be ''grammar'', not ''alphabet''. Your thoughts? Thanks, Heather.
