7	Topic		Linguistics
8	Foundation	a)	Linguistics is the Scientific study of language meaning, form, and context.	a)	Linguistics studies languages not only through one means of observation, but through studies such as psycology, anthropology, and computer science.	a)	#3a Stabler, Edward. "Lecture Notes: Linguistics."
9		b)	Applied Linguistics is an interdisciplinary field of study that identifies, investigates, and offers solutions to language-related real-life problems	b)	Applied Linguistics uses lingusitic research to tackle different aspects of every day language learning and to study bilingual and multiligualism	b)	Interview #1 with Karen Russikoff
10		c)	Congnitive Linguistics can be useful to help understand language acquisition and how languages shape how people think.	c)	In an ever growing globalized world langauge can be the key to sucess and bilingualism can help one succeed in any buisness they are in.	c)	#4h Byrd, Dani, and Toben H. Mintz. "Discovering Speech, Words, and Mind."
11		d)	We are all native speakers of a language and all have an innate ability for language learning	d)	One must realize that they made little effort to acquire their first language. This is a widely studied phenomenom in Linguisitics.	d)	#4a Byrd, Dani, and Toben H. Mintz. "Discovering Speech, Words, and Mind."
12	EQ		EQ: What is the msot important factor in second langauge acqusition for a non-native speaker?
13	Answer 1	a)	After one goes through puberty it is harder for them to reach fluency in a language.	a)	The critical period hypothesis states that after puberty it is harder for one to learn a second lanaguage because the part of the brain where language is said to be has already developed and is "comfortable with you native tongue.	a)	#5 Lightbown, Patsy, and Nina Margaret. Spada. "First Language Acquisition."
14		b)	Pronounciation of certain words is difficult for older learners of a language	b)	Fluency in a language is often judged by how native a speakers pronouciation is. After a certain age it is said that our mouths and tongue fossilize to the sounds that are in our native tongue making it harder (but not impossible) to create certain foriegn sounds.	b)	#7 Grosjean, Francois. ""How Early a Second Language.""
15		c)	Grammaticaity judgement from our first lamnguage already set in our minds making it hard to accept another languages syntactical differences	c)	We all have grammaticality judgement in our minds that tell us whether or not a sentence sounds right. By the time we have reached the age of 8 we can tell whether or not a sentence in our native tongue is logical. With this set paradigm of grammar it makes it hard for us to accept another langauges syntax.	c)	#5 Lightbown, Patsy, and Nina Margaret. Spada. "First Language Acquisition."
16		d)	Answer 1: Age affects a non-native speakers ability to acquire a language in many ways making it one of the most important factors in second langauge acqusition.	d)	Age can affect a persons ability to prounounce certain words, grasp certain grammtical concepts, and openess to a language.	d)
17	Answer 2	a)	Intrinsic Motivaition comes from internal "forces" within a non-native speaker such as general enjoyment in Language acquisition.	a)	Intrinsic motivation tends to have a more larger affect on non-natives speakers to learn a langauge. Non-Native speakers that are intrinsically motivated tend to be life long language learners and never stop their langauge learning/acqusition process.	a)	#17 "Noels, Kimberly A., Luc G. Pelletier, Richard Clément, and Robert J. Vanderand. ""Why Are You Learning a Second Language? Motivational Orientations and Self-Determination Theory."
18		b)	Extrinsic Motivation comes from external "forces" from the enviroment around a non-native speaker such as an academic purpose	b)	Extrinsic motivation tends to have a stopping point in acqusition. A non-native speaker that is extrinsically motivated will usually learn language up to the point in which they need it. This means that for their L2 acquisition has a stopping point.	b)	#18 Walqui, Aída. "CAL: Digests: Contextual Factors in Second Language Acquisition."
19		c)	Pressure to assimilate into a culture is one of the greatest motivation in second language acquisition for a non-native speaker	c)	Pressure to assimilate into the target langauges society can force a non-native speaker of that langauge to learn a language fairly quickly. The non-native speaker doesn't want to be different from the target society so they are highly extrinsically and intrisically motivated	c)	#16"""Assimilation and Language."" Pew Research Centers Hispanic Trends Project RSS. Pew Research "
20		d)	Answer 2: The motivational reason for a non-native speaker to learn the target langauge is one of the most important factors in secon language acquisition	d)	Different kinds of motivation will prompt a non-native speaker to learn a language up to different fluency/proficiency levels in their target second langauge	d)
21	Answer 3	a)	Langauges that share a root family will have similar lexicon	a)	Languages that are in the same family will have similar lexicon (words) giving the non-native speaker an advantage in level of meaning	a)	#4i Byrd, Dani, and Toben H. Mintz. "Discovering Speech, Words, and Mind."
22		b)	Languages that share a root family have similar syntax	b)	Langauges that are in the same family will have simlar syntactical structure meaning it will be easier for older learners to grasp grammar when learning a language and giving the non-native speaker an advantage in level of expression	b)	#8 "Boeree, George C. ""Language Families of the World.""
23		c)	If the target langauge is a dialect of a non-native speakers native langauge then acqusition of the target langauge will be fairly easy	c)	Dialects are just branches of a same langauge that differ from eachother phonologically, lexically, or grammtically. If a non-native speaker is trying to acquire a dialect of their own language then they already have level of meaning and expression in that language they just need to change slight factors such as pronounciaiton or slang.	c)	#4k Byrd, Dani, and Toben H. Mintz. "Discovering Speech, Words, and Mind."
24		d)	Answer 3: Proximity of a persons native tongue to the family group of his or her target language is the most important factor in language acquisition for a non-native speaker.	d)	For a non-native speaker there are two main levels of knowledge for a language; level of meaning (meaning of words) and level of expression (grammar, relationships in word parts, speaking) if their native tongue is similar to the target language then they already have some sort of grasp of these two levels.	d)
