Bilgewater: Lexis

Task B - Semantic fields

Another obvious question to ask is what semantic areas the words relate to. Given that the passage is describing a series of university interviews, you would expect to get words related to these two semantic fields. But do you get any others, and if so, why are these semantic fields present? After you have worked out your views (don't forget to note down examples of each semantic field, compare your thoughts with ours).
