"the question was deceptively simple" can mean that it seems simple but isn't, OR that it doesn't seem simple but it is

Date: February 15th, 2022 9:18 PM Author: Federal state idea he suggested That's not a function of the word but of pragmatics pertaining to the properties of the question. I thought this thread was about stuff like innervate / enervate. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5032956&forum_id=2ﾃ｢竄ï½���„1¤77PHPSESSID=3d8e678aec504db068978830e992758d#43974438) |

Date: February 15th, 2022 9:22 PM Author: Heady Genital Piercing Market fine - i mean words that CAN, depending on context, mean two things that are opposites*
but innervate/enervate is welcome here too, equally TTT |
|
Date: February 15th, 2022 9:35 PM Author: Federal state idea he suggested Broadly speaking, any word can have two opposite meanings in the sense you mean if you vary the pragmatics—that is why irony is possible and so rich in language. Your issue seems to be with imprecision introduced by using a word like "deceptively" to modify an adjective, since there's ambiguity about whether what is "deceptive" is the easiness or the initial appearance while the true nature is easy.
The meaning can be cleaned up a bit by just modifying the word order and punctuation: "Deceptively, the test was simple" to my ear sounds like the test was in fact simple; "The test was simple—deceptively" sounds to me like it appeared simple but that appearance was deceptive.
Still, all told this is an unfortunate construction and best avoided altogether save when strategic ambiguity is the goal. |

Date: February 15th, 2022 9:41 PM Author: Heady Genital Piercing Market credited analysis ty!! i don't necessarily share your interpretations of the two examples you gave, but good call about the ambiguity of what "deceptively" is modifying
and yeah i realized after poasting that someone was probably going to point out that ANY word can mean diff things based on context >__> |
