Assignment 1


Find og skriv seks ord/vendinger fra nedenstående tekststykke, der hører til det semantiske felt/skema ”discrimination”.


This isn’t just about racism, as demonstrated by the death threats sent to referee Mike Dean over the weekend, or the recent treatment of the pundit Karen Carney by Leeds fans. Nor is it about single incidents, or even overt abuse. Focusing on social media platforms is to address only the thinnest sliver of the problem, given that much of the abuse currently being dished out has simply migrated online in the absence of fans from stadiums. For all the joy it inspires, the stirring stories it serves up, English football feels more thoroughly consumed by hatred than at any point in its recent history: a smell you can neither accurately place nor decisively ignore. […]

Last season Haringey Borough in north London were the victims of racist abuse from Yeovil Town fans during an FA Cup qualifying game. Their goalkeeper Valery Pajetat was spat at, pelted with stones and called a “black cunt”. After the game was stopped for several minutes, manager Tom Loizou decided that there was only one course of action. “My players were getting racially abused,” he says now. “The referee had no control. So I decided to take them off. The FA Cup don’t mean that much to me. I said to the Yeovil manager: ‘Good luck in the next round.’”

English football is consumed by racism and hatred. Can the cycle be broken?




Assignment 2


Besvar opgave a og b med udgangspunkt i nedenstående tekststykke, og foretag en syntaktisk analyse af sætningen i opgave c. Brug relevant grammatisk terminologi.

a)
Find og skriv et eksempel på hver af følgende pronomener:
Et personligt pronomen, et possessivt pronomen, et demonstrativt pronomen, et refleksivt pronomen, et relativt pronomen og et ubestemt pronomen.

b)
Find og skriv to verballed, der hver indeholder et modalverbum. Bestem, hvad modalverbet udtrykker (modalverbets funktion) i hvert eksempel.

c)
Foretag en syntaktisk analyse af nedenstående sætning:

Wave of abuse directed at players on social media is part of a deep societal crisis but perhaps football can provide a solution.

Vær opmærksom på, at alle sætningsled ikke nødvendigvis forekommer.

There are clear parallels here between the rise of online abuse towards footballers and the highly gendered hooliganism of the 1970s and 1980s, a process that Cleland describes as “capital acquisition”. “This was the notorious aspect of hooliganism: people engaged in violent behaviour because it gave them a form of social or cultural capital,” he says. “Through the generations, football has historically turned boys into men. Whereas once they proved themselves by engaging in violence, now it’s about proving their worth online as a fan. That person might not have a high level of capital in their everyday life. But this gives them a sense of worthiness. They want someone to bite. They feel alive.”

The natural rejoinder is that, now as ever, the actions of a vocal and vicious minority should not taint the standing of the majority.

English football is consumed by racism and hatred. Can the cycle be broken?
