Assignment 4: Use the concordance tools to answer the question

• By using the 「Virtual Language Centre」,
  The whole sentence can help us to get clear how to use these two words in one sentence：

1. Yet it is the large collaborative projects that have provided some of the most significant advances.
2. Latch's latest achievement is to convert a large house.
3. Large numbers of unattached males for whom status is defined by predatory sexual behaviour and violent seizure of other people's property

1. An Awfully Big Adventure in which he plays a powdered and bewigged member of a theatrical troupe.
2. Even the big boys want to see the big boys fall, as long as it's not them.
3. The 10 per cent rise in compensation is definitely a big boost in consumer protection.

• By using「WebCOLL- Wikipedia Edition」,
  To get more information, I chose the top 5 which are frequently used in these two words.

However, the difference lies in the contexts in which they're used.

Conclusion：

Above of all the results, i can image that "Large" implies to all types of measuring things which are measuring with a length and breadth, but "Big" implies to all types of things which are measuring by a size.

Big can be used figuratively in ways that large cannot; large tends to be restricted to speaking of actual physical size or some kind of numerically measurable distinction.

Excercise：Beautiful vs. Pretty

What is the difference between Beautiful and Pretty？
According to the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary...

beautiful (adj.) 漂亮的;完美的
【define】having an attractive quality that gives pleasure to those who experience it or think about it
【e.g.】I thought she was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen.
The scenery around here is beautiful.
It was a beautiful plan.

pretty(adj.) 令人愉快的; (用於女性,小孩及小物件)漂亮的;可愛的
【define】pleasant to look at, or (especially of girls or women or things connected with them) attractive or pleasant in a delicate way
【e.g.】That's a pretty hat you're wearing.
The sofa was covered in very pretty flowery material.
She's got such a pretty daughter.


To my opinion：
The word "pretty" suggests that the person or object is pleasant to look at, but not necessarily impressive. When you say that something is "beautiful" what you mean is that it is very close to perfection.
