Myth 13 is definitely something I’ve heard people say before. The black community is very cultural and so many aspects of their history is carried through their language use. I’m sure all ethnicities recognize differences in language when speaking to each other. #fa25e211o2

Myth 12 definitely made me reflect on people I know that I have once believed had bad grammar because they chose not to learn proper language use, but language is very cultural and where you live can change so much about how you speak. #fa25e211o2

[kate haha @suttok3]

As for language change, I find it so interesting that so many regions share common vocabulary because of travel and expansion. I also found it intriguing that the way people articulate their words and shorten them impacts language. #fa25e211o2

For a long time I thought that sign language was one universal language. Obviously, sign language is just like spoken languages, there are many cultural difference and variations. #fa25e211o2

[kate haha @suttok3]

The critical period hypothesis is intriguing because many have had an opportunity to grow up speaking two languages, but learning a language such as taking Spanish in high school seems immensely more difficult. #fa25e211o2

After reading about the innateness hypothesis, I realized I learned about it in my SPA class as well. It’s an interesting theory, but I believe language acquisition is based on a person’s conditions. #fa25e211o2

[kate haha @suttok3]

People who learn one or more languages aside from their native language tend to be known as “more smart”, but does learning a second language early in life give you advantages for the necessary skills in life? #fa25e211o2

I’m excited to research how a bilingual child may “function” cognitively different from monolingual children. #fa25e211o2

[kate haha @suttok3]

For my research topic, I’ll be discussing the cognitive affects that a child faces after learning a second language. Cognitive effects may sound negative, but I’m actually more interested in the advantages!! #fa25e211o2

Myth 8 is only partially effective in debunking that statement nowadays because it was written and published in a time where there were less direct factors to hinder or impact children’s education.

#fa25e211o2

[kate haha @suttok3]

I don’t believe children are innately lazy nowadays, or struggle with the concepts of reading and writing. I believe that our societies oversimplification of everything with the use of technology, normalized paid services, and lack of initiative is the root problem.

Words only have meaning because we assign meaning to them. This makes me think about all the “random” names that objects have and one day a human just thought, “this will be called a lamp!” #fa25e211o2

[kate haha @suttok3]

The idea that all languages have differing interpretations of the same meaning is so cool because we are all connected, but uniquely different. #fa25e211o2

[kate haha @suttok3]

Word meanings aren’t fixed, and have never been fixed. That is especially obvious in today’s society because of our generalization and re-assigning of words to different meanings and uses. #fa25e211o2

@EmmaBurkeyNSU Hi Emma! That’s an interesting take, I think it’s dependent on many factors, but outgoingness is widely encouraged now and I think that has resulted in voices of women being more heard.

[kate haha @suttok3]

Myth 6 was definitely eye opening because the idea that “women speak too much” sounds very outdated, and doesn’t make sense. There are so many personalities, and both genders have their quiet and loud personalities. #fa25e211o2

[kate haha @suttok3]

I found myth 5 to be pretty intriguing. It was good at breaking down the reasons for why english is the way it is, and from outside perspectives it can be confusing, but english is a blend of so many concepts that its abstract and takes full understanding. #fa25e211o2

[kate haha @suttok3]

@Nathalym418 I agree completely, journalism can be so useful for things from ads to spreading news, and the grammar that is used is well thought out and comprehensible.

[kate haha @suttok3]

I found myth 3 to be quite interesting. I believe that people who thought media/ journalism was ruining english, could relate to parents that fear brain rot. Every generation has their fears for corruption, but journalism has shaped our society profoundly. #fa25e211o2
