Task 9. Identifying Kernels<br />
Get a dictionary and look up the meaning of the word, kernel. Listen as your<br />
teacher discuss the nature of kernel sentences. Keep in mind the definition below.<br />
A kernel sentence is a simple sentence that presents only one piece of<br />
information. This means that a kernel does not have any unnecessary information. It is<br />
positive or affirmative, that is, it does not contain any negation marker such as the<br />
words no or not. Kernel sentences or kernels are also in the active form. This means<br />
that the subject of such sentences is the doer of the presented action.<br />
Exercise 9.1<br />
Read the text below. Identify whether the numbered sentences are kernels by<br />
writing K (kernel) and NK (not kernel) for every item. Transform those you have marked<br />
‗NK‘ into kernel sentences. Write your answers on a sheet of paper.<br />
Supporting Someone Who Is Grieving 2<br />
(1) Grief is a natural process that affects people when they experience a loss—of<br />
a relative or friend; human or animal. (2) Grieving people most often need others. (3) If<br />
you are trying to be supportive to someone who is grieving, remember the depth of his<br />
emotions. (4) Grieving people cannot be rushed. (5) You can nevertheless ease another<br />
person‘s pain.<br />
Exercise 9.2<br />
Read the given text. Some sentences here are kernels and some are not. Identify<br />
any five sentences that could be rewritten as kernels. Copy these five sentences on a<br />
sheet of paper and give their corresponding kernel transformations. You could use<br />
context clues in giving kernel equivalents.<br />
Tips for Helping Someone Who Is Grieving 3<br />
<strong>Me</strong>ntion the person who has died, and acknowledge your awareness of the loss.<br />
Continue to do this as time goes on, not just right after the death. Many people avoid<br />
mentioning the person who has died, fearing it will remind the grieving person of his or<br />
her pain. Often, people avoid the topic because they feel uncomfortable or helpless, but<br />
behaving as if you don‘t remember or are unaware of your loved one‘s pain often leaves<br />
him or her feeling very alone.<br />
Listen to your loved one. A grieving person may need to tell his or her story again<br />
and again as part of the grieving process. The most important thing you can offer<br />
someone who is grieving is your ability to listen without judgment.<br />
