Write an essay caps what you have learnt in this course by asking you to apply the skills and information you gleaned to your own interests – both career & research. You will choose an issue we have alluded to and delve deeper into it. Sample brain-storming questions:How can you apply linguistics in your own life, work, school? What specifica parts of language science/ theory would you apply?If you plan to learn or teach a second language, how do you apply knowledge about language acquisition, phonetics, phonology, dictionary, pragmatics into your work?Interview a non-native speaker of English and note the accent differences. What does their speech show about the phonotactics (phonological rules) of their first language? How can you help?If you plan to do investigative work, how will forensic linguistics help?In mass media, how will IPA help you stay ahead with pronunciation?Is there something, a topical issue in Linguistics that you want to research on more? For example: What are the deictic elements in your language (For instance, in English, you can point to something three feet away from, which is near the hearer, and ask: “what is that?” – using that, same deictic you would use if the hearer was near you but the object was far from you both. You couldn’t use the same pointing word to refer to things that are near a hearer and far from a hearer in Swahili!)What are the dialects in your language and how do they differ? what dialects are prestigious – how did that come about?About language & Power, what elements of the political discourse in your community/country show the differential use of language by different demographics? (You could choose a debate between two representative persons and analyze itHow is language used to continue sexism and gender inequality?Any relevant topic you want tow write onThese are just a few things you could think of working on as an essay and many more of your own. Choose a topic and let me know by next Tuesday latest. In the meantime, you can bounce off ideas with me to see what is feasible and relevant.Rubric:Length: LING 410/420 – 5 pages min; LING 510/520 – 8 pages min 3ptClear statement of the topic/ research question well explained 5ptRelevance to our course (structure/ sociology of language/ acquisition/psychology) 5ptsRelevant literature quotes / awareness of what others have said about the issue 3ptsClear statement of findings (evidence & analysis) and conclusion (lesson learnt) 5ptsReferences cited/ IPA-MLA formats 2pts
