Pages: 2These notes delve deeper into chapter 13 in the later half, and in the beginning they explore concepts discussed in the movie that we watched today in lecture about the development of language, and how that compares across varying languages. -
Pages: 2These notes explore the concept Language Acquisition and the learning of language at young ages including their habits when doing so. -
Pages: 2These notes continue to talk about the social constructs that dictate how we use language in everyday life depending on differing and varying factors imposed by society. -
Pages: 2This week are discussing other factors of linguistic data, and how a variety of sociological perspectives affect how people speak and their decision making process in speech. -
Pages: 2These notes cover why it is important to know what Typology is in Linguistics and the importance of data collection and analysis when comparing languages. -
Pages: 2How languages are related to each other is an important concept that these notes briefly cover. We cannot study languages in comparison, if we do not know the similarities and differences in languages in an over-arching way that connects languages of certain families. -
Pages: 2In today's lecture we discussed further the use of sign language as it is referred to in different types of sign (i.e. English Sign and ASL, New Zealand Sign and Irish Sign). We broke down the types of parameters, or the structures of sign as well. -
Pages: 2This is the beginning of the second half of this class (post mid-term). I hope everyone did well, and was able to find some use out of the notes prior to the exam. Starting today, we will be studying sign language for an extended period of time, and will be analyzing different types of sign language based off of nations and geographic region. -
Pages: 5This study guide answers and defines terms and questions that Dr. Pattillo put on D2L. -
Pages: 3These notes are purely exam review. They do not have any new content in them, and strictly just go over what we have already learned. If you have any questions about the content, or if I have taken something down wrong, please do not hesitate to tell me or contact me: Kristen Lango ([email protected]). -
Pages: 2These notes cover ad-positions at the beginning and then move more into syntax because of the video we are currently watching in class before the exam. -
Pages: 3These notes cover syntax and morphology and how the two work together across languages. They also discuss how the meaning of a phrase or word can be affected by syntax, as well as other factors like prepositions and ad-positions. -
Pages: 3These notes are somewhat of a review of the content we covered in the lecture on Monday of this week. They go more in depth in the study of morphology, and how we put words together. You can also refer to a lot of chapter 6 to better your knowledge of this content. -
Pages: 3These notes cover Morphology, and the study of affixes. This means that we look at how suffixes, prefixes, and many different affixes play a role in specific languages, and learn about them by comparing differences in how they are used and placed across languages. -
Pages: 6These notes cover why writing systems are important to more than just language and spoken word, but also how writing systems impact and are impacted by culture, history, nationality, and many other traits of identity. -
Pages: 3These notes are the beginning of the unit that we will do on writing systems. We will be finishing up with them on Wednesday of this week (February 18th). They are a very introductory description of what writing systems entail and how to tell the difference between writing systems. -
Pages: 2These notes go over a review of the difference between allophones and phoneme to begin with. Then we cover- more in depth- lexical sounds, stress, and pitch accents and languages. -
Pages: 5These notes mainly continue to cover phonology, but are very much so a large summary of what Chapter 4 in your book has to say as well. So if you still have questions about some of the content I suggest going there, where everything is clearly titled and organized, and maybe that can help you clear up some of your confusion on concepts, examples, etc. -
Pages: 3These notes go more in dept on the positioning of the tongue when pronouncing vowels and consonants. There is a little bit of introduction to parts of the IPA chart included in these notes also. -
Pages: 4These notes go more in depth on the universal phenomenon that is language covering things like IPA and consonants and vowels. -
Pages: 2These notes cover some of the more basic descriptions and terms needed to understand the basics of linguistics. -
Pages: 2These notes are pretty limited because we did not cover a lot of content the first day. Rather, we just went over the syllabus and what would be expected to be covered in the course.
