RESPONSE EXAMPLES – The use of examples is an important aid to comprehension and extremely important in the field of linguistics. Please introduce each example with the word example underscored and its number (1, 2, etc) all in red. (see below)
[Tamasi and Antieau state that All languages are equal in that they all are complex, rule-governed systems that offer their speakers the resources to meet their linguistic demands in a highly diverse and continuously changing world (9). Therefore, all languages are structurally complex in their ability to help a person to communicate orally and conventionally follow a system that is socially acceptable to that group of people. Along with their being systematic in rules, languages are also arbitrary. The phonology and morphology of languages are very different. For example 1, no one group of phonetic sounds is universally used to name water — there are many sounds in many languages which identify water, without assigning one as inherently closer to the identification of water than another. For example 2, English adds an -s to the end of words to indicate plurals while other languages do not. Languages are for communication and enable a person to share thoughts, opinions, and information with others.]
RESPONSE JARGON – Jargon is the specialized or technical language of a profession. The correct use of jargon indicates an understanding of the information important to that discipline. See Textbook Glossary to identify the jargon from each Chapter by using the page numbers of that chapter. For example, Chapter One jargon is located on pages 1-21, Chapter Two jargon comes from pages 22-42, etc. Each jargon term is defined in the Textbook Glossary and arranged alphabetically with its page number listed along the right-hand margin. So, indicate each jargon term contained in your response by bolding, underlining, and numbering it. (See below)
