His skin is the color of chestnut, dark brown freckles extend the diameter of his face, and he flashes an adorably crooked smile once our eyes finally meet. “Looking for a Brian Littrell to your Nick Carter?” He says in a voice fitting of his physique. “Oh, you can be anyone you like.” I say in an unhealthy state of tipsy, only reassured by the unlikelihood I’d remember anything in the morning. He seems amused as well, acceding

Question 7 - Look at some data for a child at the one-word stage of development (this could be video data for the CHILDES database, or observational/diary data you have collected from a child to whom you have access; the contextual function of one-word utterances can be hard to perceive in transcript-only data). Apply Greenfield and Smith’s analysis, based on the uses of holophrases, to this data. Remember that this analysis is focused on what a child is using their one-word utterances for, i
family consisting of parents, Peter and Lois, their children Meg, Chris, and Stewie, and their anthropomorphic dog, Brian. The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island and exhibits much of its humor in the form of cutaway gags that often lampoon the American culture. Contrary to its title, this isn’t a family show The most intelligent members of the family are the dog, Brian, and the infant, Stewie—which might set off an alarm in terms of inappropriate role modeling.

The day before I had hit snooze twice refusing to get up, but today was different, it held a special purpose. I pulled on my bathing suit, a pair of shorts, and a hoodie, and ran down the steps into the kitchen.
