https://t.co/0YAwt8pKD9 I found this link to be an informative article about language acquisition. #eng211fa21

I never knew that Nicaraguan sign language did not exist until 1980?! Super interesting fact to know! Also it was specifically the deaf children who developed the language. #eng211fa21

To be pre linguistic is to be able to make noises as a baby, but not yet know how to babble. #eng211fa21

When learning about the stages of language development I found it interesting to learn that the "two word stage" occurs in a child between the ages of 1.5-2. #eng211fa21

When a child learns a second language, they use the "deep motor area" part of the brain. When they tie a shoe lace they use the same part of the brain. #eng211fa21

[Natalie Nesterova @NatalieNestero2]

Due to children having a much smaller vocabulary than adults, this can allow a child to learn a second language faster #eng211fa21

Annotated bibliographies can really help organize ones thoughts before writing the big research paper. #eng211fa21

[Natalie Nesterova @NatalieNestero2]

With language, normally people can only understand one another if they are using the same rules of grammar. #eng211fa21

[Natalie Nesterova @NatalieNestero2]

Without grammar in every language, only the speaker will be able to understand the meaning of what they are saying. #eng211fa21

[Natalie Nesterova @NatalieNestero2]

In this weeks reading about semantics I found it interesting to learn that the difference between an analytic and contradictory sentence is that an analytic sentence is necessarily true while a contradictory sentence is false. #eng211fa21

[Natalie Nesterova @NatalieNestero2]

There are benefits that are expressed in the brain when it comes to knowing a second language! #eng211fa21

[Natalie Nesterova @NatalieNestero2]

When it comes to learning a second language one age group might have an easier time learning the language than another age group. #eng211fa21

[Natalie Nesterova @NatalieNestero2]

For my research topic I want to research about the differences between children and adults in learning a second language #eng211fa21

[Natalie Nesterova @NatalieNestero2]

@elyshatotten I never knew this either! I specifically did not know that in every day language grammar it refers to a special kind of book. #eng211fa21

[Natalie Nesterova @NatalieNestero2]

It was interesting to learn that a transitive verb requires an object, unlike an intransitive verb which cannot take an object #eng211fa21

[Natalie Nesterova @NatalieNestero2]

I never knew the deeper meaning of how we structure our sentences until reading the chapter that explains the in-depth meaning of syntax #eng211fa21

[Natalie Nesterova @NatalieNestero2]

@JessLocklier I always thought slang words were new as in not that old, so when learning similar slang was used over a decade ago it also shocked me! #eng211fa21

[Natalie Nesterova @NatalieNestero2]

It is so easy now a days to judge a person by looking at their social media page, and not have any authentic real life knowledge of them. Before we are quick to judge through technology we should be more aware and open to our every day surroundings #eng211fa21

[Natalie Nesterova @NatalieNestero2]

Since the world keeps evolving, so does language. If people in the Appalachians speak Shakespeare it would be hard for them to live in todays world! #eng211fa21

There was a time when not everyone had the chance to go to school and now that they do this is only giving more of a chance to the children to speak and write more properly, than children had the chance to do so in the past. #eng211fa21
