Question 1
First read learning unit 9 in the study guide and then do the thesaurus
construction exercises in the workbook (Tutorial letter 102). Construct
thesaurus entries from the following lists of terms: Clinics Health institutions
Hospitals Doctors Add references to broader, narrower, related, forbidden
and preferred terms as you think necessary. Also, include examples of
scope notes. Arrange your entries in alphabetical order. With regard to
reciprocal entries, remember: RT always refers to RT (related term) BT
(broader term) always refers to NT (narrower term) NT always refers to BT
U (use) always refers to UF (used for) (U prohibits further use of the term,
and UF refers to the preferred term) Please note that it is not a thesaurus if
you only create a BT, RT, NT, SN, U and UF for each of the five terms. You
will have to add additional terms to show the relationships between terms
and to add reciprocal entries. Also create ONE thesaurus, using all five
terms as a starting point. Your thesaurus must include more terms than the
ones given. (15 marks) NB: No marks will be given if you do not include
valid reciprocal entries in your thesaurus. The following rubric will be used
for this question:
QUESTION 1:
THESAURUS CONSTRUCTION Criteria Marks Comments Alphabetical
order 2 RT terms 2 BT terms 2 NT terms 2 U terms 1 UF terms 1
, Reciprocal entries 2 Scope notes 2 Plural/Single Terms 1 TOTAL 15
NOTE: No marks will be given if the thesaurus does not include reciprocal
entries.

2. Write an indicative abstract of 100 words for the article by Boloka MJ and
Jiyane V and Mojapelo SM. NOTE: You may NOT choose your own
headings. You will NOT be credited for different headings. (20 marks)
For Question 1, you'll need to construct a thesaurus entry for each of the
given terms, ensuring you include broader, narrower, related, forbidden,
and preferred terms, as well as scope notes. You'll also need to add
additional terms to create valid reciprocal entries.
Here's an example of how to start constructing your thesaurus entries:
