Kulturraumstudien USA, Homework for November 13th

 For homework, please:

- find two or three political/editorial cartoons either by US artists or that address US culture/policy and use the terms discussed in our past two classes (i.e. discourse, narrative, framing and sub-types of framing) and others from the semester (e.g. cognitive blends, intertextuality) to analyze how the cartoons are constructed. Bring these cartoons with you to next week's class.

- choose two or three English words and look each of these up in the following dictionaries (how do explain the differences in the wordings of the definitions in each edition of the dictionary?):

Websters Dictionary 1828 - Online

Webster's 1913 (websters1913.com)
