Introduction As a hispanic, it is a rite of passage to speak Spanish. With two full-time working parents, I learned Spanish from my care-takers in a home environment. Having care-takers that are immigrants and not highly educated, grammar is not a strong suit and so it was not focused on when I was learning. Since it was not a school environment, basic grammar rules were memorized through examples not written and explained. In high school, I took half a year of American Sign Language. Learning

Introduction It is often said that Jamaicans have a unique language. Some may say Jamaicans do not have a language of their own. Jamaicans official language however is Standard English. However there has been much confusion in the language we speak because we sometimes or often times speak in what is called Patois, Creole or even Ungrammatical English. This however is not considered a language. Patois is not a native language, it is a second language. Patois is a combination of English and African

The writing system that I chose to write about for this assignment is Cherokee, which is the most southern branch of the Iroquoian language family (Warren, n.d.). Though, we do not know exactly when Cherokee developed, linguistics believe it was sometime between 1804-1821. Prior to this Cherokee was a spoken language only, However, in 1821 is when the Cherokee system was first shown to the leaders of the Cherokee nation and was acknowledged as a useful Cherokee script (Cushman, 2012). It did not

against the teeth which produced labiodentals and the vowel E sound. Both muscles pull the corners of the mouth laterally then a smile, vowel E sound, and facial expression can all be produced. The zygomatic major is a muscle that contributes to the sound production of /a/ because it pulls the corner of the mouth up and laterally which produces facial expression specifically a smile. What all four of these muscle have in common to produce the front vowel /i/ is they are all have the action of pulling the

short vowel /a/ and /e/. The months April and March are spelled the same as modern spellings, so the reader may infer the sounds are the same. Therefore, the modern short vowel rule applies to Middle English as well. Droghte and drought are spelled similarly except for the vowels. The Etymology Dictionary defines droghte as dryness. So droghte and drought are synonyms. (Harper). Perced is also easy for the modern reader to decode. It is spelled nearly the same as pierce except the vowel /i/

Phonology and phonological development are important to language acquisition. In researching Hebrew phonology and its development; we learned how it is perceived, interpreted. The common theme across the articles was Hebrew language, like other languages, involves many levels of acquisition. In our research we observed different aspects of the language such as its stress patterns, acoustics, bilingual acquisition and its development along with learning how old Yiddish became Modern Hebrew; a language

such as this and thin, the swapping of /b/ and /p/ at the beginning of words, and the substitution of /f/ for /v/. Consonant clusters, such as in the words split, threw or lengths, also cause problems and often result in the speaker adding an extra vowel: spilit, ithrew or lengthes. In Arabic word stress is regular. It is common, therefore, for Arab learners to have difficulties with the seemingly random nature of English stress patterns. For example, the word yesterday is stressed on the first syllable

contrast between English /i/–/ɪ/ (as in “beat” and “bit”) and /u/–/ʊ/ (as in “boot” and “book”). The researchers asked Native Korean children and adults to identify English vowels regarding Korean vowel categories in a forced-choice identification task and to rate the English vowels for “goodness of fit” to the same Korean vowel categories. The last part of the article contains experiment 2.The aim of experiment two was to verify whether children’s and adults’

The historical classics of English literature expose a predominantly patriarchal culture in which the masculine domination of the public sphere imposes numerous oppressions on the female population in England. Despite the contributions of influential female monarchs to the nation’s political stability, significant male writers characterize women as subaltern, submissive citizens. The conventional dialogue of English literature records women speaking in passive voices, as their primary role in the

History Vietnam is one of the countries in Southeast Asia with a population of over 95 million people. It has a long history of being ruled by China for over a thousand years, resulting in a strong Chinese influence on Vietnamese culture, language and writing system. Even after Vietnam has gained their independence in the tenth century, Chinese was still the language was being spoken and used in many written documents.
