How did the Zuckerberg Congress committees that are hearing the 2016 hearing go down in history?
I had a senator say “Dorm room to the global
behemoth that you guys are..” What is this sentence saying?
If you would
have received the whole version of this extract: SULLIVAN: Thank you very much Mr. Chairman. What is a bit of a genius about Mr. Zuckerberg, right? From your Dorm room to the global behemoth that you guys are, keep the humor going! According to you, would you agree with Pew Research Center’s report?
Senator, mostly in America.
Why I can’t practice the idea again in China? What a 10 years, 10 years?
ZUCKERBERG: There are some very strong Chinese Internet companies, senator, there.
SULLIVAN: Is it OK to answer yes to this question?
What is your review of I-T in the World?
Why do we allow bits to go and
then leave bits out” You went from a dorm room to becoming the global behemoth that you guys are. Would you agree with that statement? In
all his native languages, any native speaker reading or listening for the senator would have understood the phrase. Speech is different from written English.
What is a covered pause used for, and how he/she spoke when he/she did it,
including some sounding words? • repetition – repeating a word, phrase or two. The original word or phrase may be complete or truncated.
• Interjections- extraneous phrases as in “on line thirty, I guess it is”.
• unknown or mispronounced words
• ellipsis
• ungrammatical constructions – Users make errors of agreement (sub-verb, number, etc) and may use constituents in unusual orders (“to the utilities cell add fifty dollars”)
I’d personally add to that list: truncation, where the speaker doesn’t say something in full.
Dorm room means at a college dormitory.
Real speech
is a speech and it is about people. In short, speaking is a speech!
