@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

@JillianMeunsc3 Hey Jillian, I love how you are also able to offer outside resources to interact with class material. #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

[Kaitlynn Allen @StudentKaitlynn]

Syntax can be called the law of language. Determining the word order and basic sentence structure within different languages. #eng211o1fa23

[Kaitlynn Allen @StudentKaitlynn]

Because of syntax, we understand that all sentences require a subject and a verb. #eng211o1fa23

[Kaitlynn Allen @StudentKaitlynn]

Syntax is a vital element to understand constituency, which is the term used to describe multiple words acting as a single unit. #eng211o1fa23

[Kaitlynn Allen @StudentKaitlynn]

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

[Kaitlynn Allen @StudentKaitlynn]

Grammar in linguistics is different than what you would first think. It's based off of how a native speaker would speak it #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

[Kaitlynn Allen @StudentKaitlynn]

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

[Kaitlynn Allen @StudentKaitlynn]

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

[Kaitlynn Allen @StudentKaitlynn]

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

[Kaitlynn Allen @StudentKaitlynn]

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

[Kaitlynn Allen @StudentKaitlynn]

Annotated bibliographies can be either MLA or APA both; both are filled with critical thinking and accuracy of the sources cited. #eng211o1fa23

[Kaitlynn Allen @StudentKaitlynn]

An annotated bibliography is a list of sources followed by a summary! Annotations are meant to describe and critically evaluate the text. #eng211o1fa23

@JillianMeunsc3 Hey Jillian! So happy you shared that video, I can understand why the myth made you think of it!

[Kaitlynn Allen @StudentKaitlynn]

Myth 5 English Spelling is Kattastroffik made me laugh and rethink the language a little. #langwidge There are so many frames! #eng211o1fa23
