Discourse refers to larger units of language such as paragraphs, conversation, interviews, sermons, speeches….etc. Discourse can be written or spoken. The study of how sentences in written and spoken language form larger
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain has been my primary source in order to analyze its form and context as we processed phonology, morphology, semantics, and syntax/pragmatics. While we were focusing on these topics, there was also research being performed on a language partner. As stated before in earlier submissions, each of these topics focus on a specific aspects that are constantly used as readers are reading and/or completing written works. It is essential that each and every reader
rather than just adding words onto an extensive vocabulary list. This experiment took place in 1958 at Harvard and she tested children within the age range of four and seven. This test was created to see if children really understood the rules of morphemes and English grammatical rules. She wanted to see if the kids could apply rules of the English language upon words they never heard before. The

INTRODUCTION Kiswahili is one of the best documented and most studied African languages and much work has been done in analyzing various aspects of the language. However, one area which has thus far been not enough explored is that of the syntactic elements of the relative clause. To this end, the paper will focus on by providing a detailed (though not exhaustive) analysis of relative clauses without attempting to grapple with morphology. This is done deliberately so that time is not wasted on restating
Introduction Over the past few decades, different theories emerged to explain how these children acquire their language such as behaviorism, nativism, and interactionism. The research on first language acquisition did not lead only to the previous theory, but it also led to the emergence of second language acquisition theories. One of these second language theories is the Monitor Model which was influenced by the nativist perspective on language acquisition. The Monitor Model also led to the emergence
repetition occurs when one word is mentioned more than one time throughout the text. To illustrate, the word "and" is repeated about 22 times in the text , the word "her" is repeated around 15 times in paragraphs number 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 13, the morpheme "mother" is repeated 5 times in paragraphs number 1, 8, and 14, the pronoun " I"
The integration of loanwords With the purpose of officially integrating borrowings into the host language and for speakers to casually use them in their conversations, all borrowings and creations undergo linguistic changes based on the features of the recipient language. The following words will analyse the phonological and morphosyntactic strategies used in French language contact situations. Phonetical change Every language has its own phonological system and therefore reproducing foreign
Homes all across Australia speak more than one language. This includes the large amount of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander languages and dialects present across the country. The growing diversity of Australia is reflected in the amount of students who are classified as EAL/D learners. EAL/D learners are students whose first language is either a dialect or language other than English. Children are taught their first language/s (L1) at home this is known as their mother- tongue. Children may
culture make. The purpose of this study is to observe the different forms of language used in an everyday setting and to study how the language has changed from its original form. As novice anthropologists, we must begin to recognize phonemes and morphemes through studying these sound patterns and word formations in syntax we may recognize or think is ordinary. Through this process we are able to think more deeply about the language we hear on an everyday basis while also learning how to identify social
