As we're nearing the end of this class (and semester), I want to thank my fellow #Eng211Fall21 classmates for your time and input on my many video posts. Good luck to you all!

Linguistically, I think #Deadwood captures the essence of colorful language. And, the language is historically accurate too. Can't beat it! #Eng211Fall21

My dad grew up in Boston, and used to say "caa" instead of "car". It always made us laugh. This was mentioned in the "Language Typology - Reasons for Language Change" video, and it definitely brought back some good memories. #Eng211Fall21

The "How Languages Evolve" video was an interesting piece on the evolution of dialects when populations integrate and grow. If languages have a single common ancestor, I'd really love to hear it. #Eng211Fall21

@KathrynBuckels Great share! I found another one this week on children and babbling - how important it is to listen, as it could project their language development. https://t.co/FD11x2bxgU

This article discusses how baby talk plays a huge role in how children develop language, including any potential speech-language disorders. #Eng211Fall21

Baby talk isn’t just cute—it’s critical for kids’ vocabularies https://t.co/FD11x2bxgU

All three linguistic professors in this weeks' module really pushed the importance of reading and confidence-building (at home and at school) to improve secondary language acquisition. Positive Reinforcement for the win! #Eng211Fall21

[Joey Lamberti @joeylamberti]

In the #TedTalk, @leaningshane provided some valuable tips for parents to further educate their children in their "Mother Tongue" - Review/Read/Relax. I prefer Read - it's so important to read to your kids, especially when trying to improve their bilingual aptitude #Eng211Fall21

Wow, I loved the video with Stephen Krashen on Second Language Acquisition. Such a great lecturer, who mixes humor with linguistic knowledge. #Eng211Fall21

[Joey Lamberti @joeylamberti]

There are many ideas encompassed within the language acquisition theories discussed this week. My overall take is that children are innately able to learn multiple languages, and it's up to their parents or guardians to stress the importance of learning them. #Eng211Fall21

[Joey Lamberti @joeylamberti]

The @YouTube video of the 4-year-old girl switching between three languages is amazing. I can barely master one. #Eng211Fall21

@skylarkiyomi Hey Skylar. I had to narrow my topic too. I started off very broad, then broad again, and now I hope it's narrowed enough. Sometimes, it would seem easier if the topic was just assigned to us! #Eng211Fall21

[Joey Lamberti @joeylamberti]

I totally understand that online periodicals want to make money off the work of others (there's a bit of sarcasm there) by putting up paywalls. It just makes research hunting not as much fun as it could be. Yes, I said it - finding research is fun! #Eng211Fall21

[Joey Lamberti @joeylamberti]

@BKSmith210 You know, I haven't either - even during my first bachelor's degree in History. It's definitely something that would have been useful to know then!

[Joey Lamberti @joeylamberti]

I was able to get a meeting with the @NevadaState librarian, and she taught me to how to locate resources for an upcoming #Eng211Fall21 paper. I'd definitely recommend it to my fellow classmates!

[Joey Lamberti @joeylamberti]

@KathrynBuckels I totally agree, Kathryn. I overlooked it as well, but it adds so much depth to grammar overall!

[Joey Lamberti @joeylamberti]

Myth 10 was rightly "busted" by the author - all languages have grammar. There are rules to every language, and if two speakers understand each other, they are following the same set of rules. Where there's rules to a language, there's grammar! #Eng211Fall21

[Joey Lamberti @joeylamberti]

My two boys are studying Greek mythology in school, so it's pretty funny that this weeks' semantics reading briefly covers #Cratylus, the name of a dialogue by #Plato. #Eng211Fall21

[Joey Lamberti @joeylamberti]

@BKSmith210 Hey Brittani. This is a great topic. With kids myself, I've seen how impactful technology can be with overuse. Screen time really needs to be monitored. Good luck! #Eng211Fall21

[Joey Lamberti @joeylamberti]

@Jocelyn84288271 Hey Jocelyn. It was very hard for me to choose a topic for this research paper, so I feel your pain. I think yours is very interesting and challenging. I'd be open to reading it when you're done too! #Eng211Fall21
