This is the reference of the word ?dog‘ in this particular situation. 132. 第19题 How does a sentence differ from an utterance (语句)? 答案: A sentence and an utterance differ in that a sentence is a grammatical and self-contained unit in isolation from context, whereas utterance is something a speaker utters in a certain situation with a certain purpose. 133.第133题 What is cross-association (叠加)? 答案: Cross-association refers to the internal interference, or the close association of the two similar linguistic forms which leads to confusion, e. g. *The apricot is too sour to eat it.
