Knowledge of Linguistics and Its Impact on Understanding the Teaching of Language
[ send me this paper ]
This 12 page report discusses both linguistics and language and the ways in which they interact for a language teacher. Because language is one of the most unique factors of human interaction, even the very process of being human, its study deserves to be thought of as a key component of understanding human cognition, personal relationships, and how society develops. It also offers a great deal of opportunities to those who teach language and the tools of language. The practice of linguistics is intimately woven into the teaching of language.

Language Acquisition
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper. Until the late 1950s, it was traditionally believed that an infant acquired language from the parent or caregiver, specifically, it was believed that infants simply mimicked the sounds that they heard from parents and other caregivers. In 1957, A. Noam Chomsky offered a different perspective. Language acquisition was innate, according to Chomsky. This essay explains Chomsky's concepts of Universal Grammar and the Language Acquisition Device and how he came to make these conclusions. The difference between acquisition and learning is explained. Finally, the need to bring in Piaget's theories to explain all of language acquisition is explored. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Language Acquisition and Reading
[ send me this paper ]
This 4 page report discusses how a child acquires language and then applies that understanding to the processes of learning to read. The processes associated with acquiring language involves a number of considerations that range from what a child hears, how his or her parents interacts with him/her, even historical context plays a role in the child’s language development. Reading is significantly more than a visual process. Instead, it is primarily a verbal, semantic, and language-based process than a visual process. It relies on the processes associated with understanding language, using language, and defining the meanings associated with language. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Language and Abstract Thought: Meaningful Conversation about a God Who Transcends Creation?
[ send me this paper ]

Questions the innateness of language and the applicability of that innateness to the topic of our own creation and the existence of God. Compares language in animals and mankind and concludes there are definitive differences in the ability of the two to have meaningful conversations about such highly abstract concepts as God and His existence. It is the ability to translate our mental experiences into words which gives humans the capability of abstract thought and allows us to have meaningful philosophic conversation about God even though God transcends creation.
