@cambria365 I could not agree with you more! Social media plays a major role in the expansion of slang. Although slang has always been created, social media allows more people to see and start using these new terms as well. #eng211o1fa23
The syntax can be extremely different between languages. English languages tend to have a subject, verb, and object order, while languages such as Hindi and Korean have a subject, object, and verb order. #eng211o1fa23
Did you know that Syntax is the oldest branch of linguistics? Historians have found evidence of this all the way back to the ancient Greeks and Romans! #eng211o1fa23
Myth 12 is Bad Grammar in Slovenly, Negative remarks about 'Estuary English' describe the variety of languages spreading socially and geographically. Wars about who rather than whom, but the real question becomes who gets to decide what is wrong or good grammar.#eng211o1fa23
Tracing language is a messy practice, and linguistics can face extreme challenges when trying to organize them. The further back in History we go, the harder it is, because of a lack of evidence makes it more challenging. #eng211o1fa23
Early civilizations migrating and developing differently are credited for the creation of languages. Grammar and syntax are primary things linguistics look at to tell correlations and relationships between languages. #eng211o1fa23
The Connectionist Theory says that exposure to language develops and strengthens neural connections. Meaning the higher the frequency, the stronger connections. #eng211o1fa23
Theories of Acquisition consist of imitation, reinforcement, active construction of grammar, and connectionist theories. Imitation refers to children's ability to imitate what they hear. Reinforcement can refer to both positive and negative. #eng211o1fa23
Language acquisition states that everyone follows the same stages of language acquisition and learns languages at the same rates. Children can learn any language they are exposed to.

Annotated bibliographies are used to review a particular subject, and use multiple types of sources. Make sure to use a variety of journals, books, websites, and magazines. #eng211o1fa23
An annotated bibliography is a list of sources followed by a summary! Annotations are meant to describe and critically evaluate the text. #eng211o1fa23
