Language and Linguistics Worksheet
Using the text for this course, the University Library, the Internet, and/or
other resources complete the following three-part assignment.
Part A
Select two terms total from the following lists. One term is an example
of how language changes over time. Select a different term that is an
example of how English has spread as an international language.
(Note: We are looking at the etymology of the terms, not the technology
they represent. For instance, apple used to mean a fruit, but now it also
is the name of a major computer/smart phone company. You would not

get credit for saying that Apple’s products allow people to communicate
in English.)
Glitch Blue jeans Cola MRE
Megabyte Text Interface Humvee
iPod Cool Reality TV GI
Dude Like Podcast Dollar
You Tube CNN Blackberry Streaming video
Web cast Global warming Cowboy Rock ‘n Roll
Space station
Write a 350-word paper in which you discuss why one of the terms you
selected exemplifies the evolution of language and why one of the terms
you selected exemplifies the spread of English.
Explain why English is used so widely.
Format references and citations consistent with APA guidelines.

Part B
Select Scenario A or Scenario B:
Scenario A: Jason is blind and has epilepsy. He has a guide dog named
Bo who assists him. Bo usually responds to commands from Jason. At
times, Jason gives Bo the command to cross the street, but Bo disobeys
if Jason has misjudged the traffic and it is not safe to cross.
Bo can also sense when Jason is about to have an epileptic seizure. The
dog becomes agitated and begins to whine; although this is something he
has not been trained to do. At times, he has left Jason and alerted others
that his human companion needs help.
Scenario B: While caring for her infant daughter at home, Sara talks to
another child:
“Ba, bab, ba, babab, ba, bab, baba, ba”
“Yes, Julie, that’s a baby! See the baby? Pretty baby!”
“Ba, ba, bab, bab, bab”

Write a 350-word paper in which you define communication, define
language, and explain how they differ. Be sure to use linguistic
definitions from the textbook. Do not summarize the scenario; I’ll know
which one you’re talking about.
Explain whether the scenario you selected is an example of
communication or language, based on your definitions.
Provide at least one reference to support your conclusion.
Format references and citations consistent with APA guidelines.
Part C
In the chart, decide whether the following situations are examples
of errors in competence or performance. That is, does the person not
really understand what he or she is trying to do (an error in competence),
or does the person understand the concept but just have trouble
producing it (an error in performance)? Each situation must be one or
the other; you cannot choose both. In the appropriate column, explain
why you think the situation shows an error in competence or
performance.

ENG 380 Week 2 Critical Analysis of a Scholarly Article
Critical Analysis of a Scholarly Article. Locate a scholarly article which
you think could contribute to the development of your final paper. The
article may reinforce your own understandings of the work(s), it may
stand in complete opposition to your interpretations, or it may both share
commonalities and be distinct from your own views of the literary
work(s).

The purpose of this exercise is to help you critically analyze the
scholarly article, to determine how the article relates (or not) to your
own thesis, and to decide whether and/or how you will use the article to
strengthen your own paper.
Consider this assignment as an opportunity to explore and to think
through your evaluative and interpretive process. After locating the
article and determining that you believe it could be of use to you in your
analysis, write a paper which addresses the following tasks and
questions.
1. Provide the full APA citation for the article.
2. What was the article’s argument? Did the thesis answer the
question? In other words, did the thesis address a
larger significance to itself (e.g., address a serious social or political
concern; reflect on, for example, human
nature, human relationships, or society)?
3. Did you find the argument convincing? Why or why not?
4. What assumptions did the author make in the article?
5. What literary or critical approaches did the paper use? Were these
approaches appropriate and well-founded?
Why or why not?
6. Would a discussion of the article contribute to your paper? If so,
how? When addressing this question,
consider how, if incorporating this source into your paper, you would
relate it to your thesis.

7. Given the relationship between your thesis and that of this source,
what explicit connections (or
disconnections) would you need to make between your work and the
article? How would you introduce the article, while still placing at center
stage your thesis? Identify a specific point(s) in your paper where
discussion of the article would be beneficial.

Topic Selection

ENG 380 Week 2 Learning Team Applied Linguistics Topic Selection
Collaborating as a team is vital to the workplace. In this Learning Team
assignment, you will have the opportunity to explore and research
important areas of linguistics as though in a real-world setting where
peers review work, analyze literary concepts, and collectively author
papers and presentations.
Select your Learning Team’s topic or subdiscipline that will serve as the
basis for the team’s Applied Linguistics Paper and Presentation.
Write a 350-word description of your topic and rationale for selecting
this topic.

ENG 380 Week 3 Annotated Bibliography
Annotated Bibliography. Develop an annotated bibliography for your
Final Paper. First, review the assignment instructions for the Final Paper,
found in Week Five of your online course or in the “Components of
Course Evaluation” section of this guide. Make sure that two of the total
five sources required for your Final Paper are found through the
databases in the Ashford Online Library. You may use secondary
sources which you have already located when completing previous
assignments for this course. However, be sure that those sources still are
relevant to your paper topic and thesis. (Often the paper topic and thesis
evolve over the course of researching, so the topic or thesis which you
began with may differ from that which you are now developing.)
For each secondary source, you will first cite the source in correct APA
format. Then include a brief annotation, with APA style citation, for the
source. The annotation must summarize the source in 4-5 sentences and
explains its relevance to the selected short story and importance to the
topic being discussed in the paper. These sources must be organized in

alphabetical order by author as required in an APA reference page
formatting.
The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to provide readers with
more information about the sources used in the text. Developing your
Final Paper’s annotated bibliography will help you hone your literary
research skills, as well as develop critical analysis and writing skills
needed to produce the Final Paper

words, fill in this blank: All of these words can be described as ___. If
the word in the blank is a different word (e.g., Roses, lilies, and petunias
can all be described as flowers.), then you have hyponyms. If the word
in the blank is one of the words already in the group (e.g., Cleaning,
scrubbing, and wiping can all be described as cleaning.), then you have
synonyms.)
Word Group Type of Similarity
Taffy, jelly beans, chocolate
