CHOOSE SIX OF THE PAIRS BELOW TO DISCUSS (5 points each).
CHOOSE SIX OF THE PAIRS BELOW TO DISCUSS (5 points each). Each pair is numbered. You must compare and contrast the two terms that are in the numbered pair. This means that you will be defining, comparing, and contrasting 12 terms altogether.
The format is the same as for the midterm.
Explain what each term means (so if you choose pair 1, you’ll define “external change” and “creole.”
Explain how you can connect the two terms, as concepts, in practice, or however you see a connection can be made, using examples.
e.g. here is a brief answer using terms from the midterm, using the Loanwords and Multilingualism pair:
“Loanwords are words “borrowed” from one language and inserted into another without being translated. Common loanwords in English include food terms like sushi, pizza, or pho. Multilingualism refers to the ability to speak multiple languages or to a situation in a locality where many languages are spoken. The US is a multilingual nation. While English is the dominant language, Spanish is widely spoken in many parts of the country, with lots of people are fluent (bilingual or multilingual) in both.
One connection that can be made is that a multilingual individual or in a multilingual situation, a speaker may use a given loanword in one of their languages, as well as using the source word within the language from which it came. When using the loanword, it occurs in a context that has no relation to the source language. In the source language, the word will be related through sound and grammar to other, related terms.”
*This is an answer I came up with but there may be other ways in which to draw comparisons or make distinctions in the second paragraph. While it is possible to be wrong (you would be wrong to say, for example, that loanwords are translated terms, or that multilingual people never use loanwords), there is more than one way to be right. My goal in asking for this question is to give you a chance to show how YOU have noticed connections across the course, and to show how you can clearly discriminate between critical terms that you’ve been introduced to.
These are terms and concepts that are discussed at length in lectures and in the discussion posts. Do not come up with an answer from memory or off the top of your head. Make sure you look the term up and understand its applications. You’ll notice, however, that I have put terms in association with others that are NOT FROM THE SAME WEEK. The point of this exercise is to make you think outside of the frameworks you’ve been given to apply your knowledge in a novel way. To be sure you understand terms and concepts, and for me to be sure that you do, this kind of comparison tests how well you can articulate them in an unexpected context. Note also that I have included some terms from earlier in the course.
Your answers should be from two to three sentences for each definition and the connection, to a half of a single page maximum for each pair, double- spaced, 10-12 pt font, 1 inch margins. THERE IS NO NEED TO QUOTE EITHER FROM LECTURE OR YOUR TEXT, OR TO CITE. You must put your thoughts into your own words. (Cutting and pasting without attribution is, of course, plagiarism, and will get you an F).
