@MiryahW Hello Miryah, I agree. Without these things it would definitely be hard to understand or learn our language.

[Alyssa Karpinski @KarpAlyssa]

@JillianMeunsc3 oh my goodness, i loved that you included this meme in your post. I find it funny how people say our language is getting ruined by the addition of new words or slang. But our language has always changed over time.

Diction can be flexible, especially in casual conversation, but proper syntax is comparatively strict. For syntax there is a right and there is a wrong, there is no grey area in between. #eng21101fa23

[Alyssa Karpinski @KarpAlyssa]

I also learned that syntax is about structure. The rules of syntax exist to make sentences clear and consistent. #eng211o1fa23

[Alyssa Karpinski @KarpAlyssa]

This week i learned that syntax is a fundamental part of written language. Diction defines the style of written or spoken language, representing the choices a speaker or writer makes within the rules of grammar and syntax.#eng211o1fa23

I definitely say the word sketch a lot. By 1996, one of Eble’s U.N.C. students offered sketch as a noun meaning “someone who is hard to figure out.” The variations sketchball, sketcher and sketchmaster followed thereafter. #eng211o1fa23

@RommelRamo63184 Exactly! If we were all open to accepting languages and cultures, maybe we could learn a thing or two. Change is good and we should always want to continue to learn about new dialects.

Myth 13 this week is " Black children are verbally deprived." I think the language differences exist because this group of people, as said in this chapter, just developed their language in a different way, creating their own 'dialect' with its own rules. #eng211o1fa23

Myth 12 this week is " Bad grammar is slovenly." Milroy discusses the idea that bad grammar is not slovenly at all, as he argues that different or non-standard grammar usage comes as a result of a variety of social situations and contexts. #eng211o1fa23

@MiryahW Hi Miryah! I totally agree. Being bilingual is so helpful. Sometimes employers want people who are bilingual so it opens more doors for those who speak more than one language.

These stereotypes about French and Italian lead to the positive thoughts of art, romance, and fine wine. Whereas stereotypes about German leads to negative thoughts of barbaric people with no manners .#eng211o1fa23

[Alyssa Karpinski @KarpAlyssa]

Myth 11 is " Italian is Beautiful, German is Ugly". This myth talks about how certain languages are more aesthetically pleasing than others. Italian and French are seen by many to be more elegant, sophisticated, and romantic compared to a language like German. #eng211o1fa23

@JJ89765 I have never done one either! But it should save us all some time when we write our papers, because we allready have all the research done that we want to add into our papers. We will also have the citations complete.

[Alyssa Karpinski @KarpAlyssa]

An annotated bibiography is going to help with my research paper in the long run. Although it seems like a lot of work, it is going to make the writing process a lot easier when it is time. #eng211o1fa23

[Alyssa Karpinski @KarpAlyssa]

An annotated bibliography provides an overview of the main issues, arguments and research within a particular area. #eng211o1fa23

[Alyssa Karpinski @KarpAlyssa]

What is an annotated bibliography? This provides an overview or a brief account of the available research on a given topic. It is a list of research sources that takes the form of a citation followed by an annotation. #eng211o1fa23

Myth 6 was supposed to be about how women talk too much. From this myth, I learned that men are more likely to speak more in a public setting while a woman is more likely to talk more in a private or intimate setting. #eng211o1fa23

[Alyssa Karpinski @KarpAlyssa]

@lizduranhdez Yes!! When I first started the reading, I immediately had my guard up. But as the myth went on I was glad to see that she provided reasons that men actually talk more than women.

[Alyssa Karpinski @KarpAlyssa]

Myth 5 was all about the English spelling system and how it has to cater as best as it can for phonetic differences between speakers. If people were encouraged to spell as they spoke, a number of written English dialects would emerge. #eng211o1fa23
