[請益] referentiality -- 91年師大語概(英語教學組)
不好意思，
請問一下各位高手，
在葛瑞老師的書中說以下七個畫底線的詞語中，
race riots 和 a bill 展現的是 "unreferentiality"，
其他的都是"referentiality"。
請問高手們為什麼是這樣呢？
我查了書和網站，還是悟不出背後的道理。
有請高手開示了，感謝~

We have known race riots, draft riots, labor violence, secession,
==========
anti-war protests, and a whiskey rebellion, but one kind of trouble we've
never had: a language riot.
On August I of last year the U.S. House or Representatives approved
=================================
a bill that would make English the official languageof the United States. The
======
vote was 259 to 169, with 223 Republicans and thirty-six Democrats voting in
favor and eight Republicans, 160 Democrats, and one Independent voting
===============
against. The debate was intense, acrid and partisan. On March 25 of last year
the Supreme Court agreed to review a case involving an Arizona law that would
require public employees to conduct government business only in English.
================
Arizona is one of several states that have passed "Official English" or
==============
"English Only" laws. The appeal to the Supreme Court followed a 6-to-5
=================
ruling, in October of 1995, by a federal appeals court striking down the
Arizona law. These events suggest how divisive a public issue language could
become in America-even it has until now scarecely been taken seriously.
