Practical #3 – Language Change and Syntax

Final Exam

The exam will cover a number of set chapters of your textbook and the content of the lectures. No books, dictionaries or notes can be used in this exam.
It will take place on Monday 10 June 2019 at 11am at Napier G04.

Reflective Journal

Students will maintain a journal with entries each week that reflect on observations of language and linguistics as related to the content of this course. For instance, in week 2 the journal might reflect on phonetic features of the students’ own speech that differ from the phonetic transcription that is provided in a dictionary. In Week 5, they may have observations of a relative or someone they know who has experienced aphasia. In Week 10 they may be able to comment on features of a young niece or nephew’s speech that is indicative of child language or the speech of a parent when talking to a young child that is indicative of ‘baby talk’ or ‘caretaker speech’. In Week 7 they might make note of sentences they hear or read that are ambiguous and determine whether these sentences are structurally ambiguous or not. These are just a few examples. Students will have an opportunity to share their observations in the first 5 or 10 minutes of the tutorial that week. Journals will be submitted online at the end of Week 5 and again at the end of Week 12, will be read by the tutor and/or course coordinator and will contribute towards the final mark. Maintenance of the journal is not meant to be an onerous task. It does not matter if for one or other week there is nothing to report, but we do want to see that you have applied what you have learnt in this course to the world around you and that you are observing language. Entries are required for a minimum of 8 of the 12 weeks. Entries should consist of the observation(s) itself plus reflection or linguistic explanation to account for the observation.
