ENG 329 Theories of Language Acquisition
The document outlines three main theories of language acquisition: the behaviorist theory, the innatist theory, and the interactional/developmental perspective. The behaviorist theory believes that language is learned through imitation and reinforcement in the environment. The innatist theory proposes that humans have an innate language acquisition device that allows children to acquire language without needing to be taught. The interactional/developmental perspective sees both nature and nurture as important, with language developing primarily through social interaction.

1. Communication requires a sender, receiver, and interpretation of messages conveyed through feedback like words and gestures.
2. Human language is distinct from animal communication in being compositional, referential, and having properties like reflexivity, displacement, arbitrariness, and productivity that allow for generating novel sentences.
3. Attempts to teach chimpanzees human speech had limited success due to physical and cognitive differences, though some learned some words or signed symbols with training.
ANIMALS AND HUMAN LANGUAGE.pptx
1. Human language is distinct from animal communication in that it is compositional, allowing for an infinite number of sentences by recombining words into subject, verb and object roles.
2. Some key properties of human language include reflexivity, displacement, arbitrariness, productivity, and cultural transmission.
3. While some chimpanzees have been taught limited sign language or words, research shows they lack the physical capabilities and social structure for fully acquiring human spoken language. Their communication is more emotional and gestural.

Evolution webquest
1. Darwin proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection after observing variations between species on the Galapagos Islands and noticing that species were well-adapted to their environments.
2. His theory stated that species slowly change over generations through a process of inherited variation, survival of the fittest, and descent with modification from common ancestors.
3. Natural selection acts on this variation, where individuals with traits better suited to their environment tend to survive and pass on their genes more than others, leading to evolution of the species over time.
Science10 q3 ver4_mod7
This document provides an overview of the key figures and concepts in the development of evolutionary thought from the 18th century to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection in 1859.

ENGLISH112GROUP3.pptx-BACHELOR-OF-ARTS-IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Researchers have attempted to teach different animal species like apes, dolphins, and parrots to communicate in human-like ways. For dolphins, common approaches used in research include positive reinforcement by rewarding desired behaviors, symbolic training by associating sounds or gestures with objects/actions, and building strong bonds between dolphins and trainers. For parrots, techniques involve modeling behaviors for parrots to imitate, introducing parrots that already know behaviors, and rewarding parrots with treats or praise when they replicate behaviors. However, the document concludes that animals still cannot truly communicate like humans due to humans' distinct use of language.

Here are the key characteristics of human language:
- Productivity/creativity - Language allows for infinite expression of new ideas through novel combinations of words.
- Cultural transmission - Language is learned socially through interaction rather than genetically. It evolves over generations.
- Displacement - Language can be used to communicate about things absent in space and time, including past/future events and imaginary concepts.
- Arbitrariness - The relationship between words and what they refer to is arbitrary and learned through convention rather than natural law.
- Duality of patterning - Language has two levels of structure - sounds combine into words, and words combine into sentences.
- Specialization - Language relies on specialized vocal

Non-Human Communication
The document summarizes several non-human communication projects including the Lana Project, the Washoe Project, and the Koko Project. The Lana Project involved teaching a chimpanzee named Lana to communicate using lexigrams. The Washoe Project was the first to teach an animal, a chimpanzee named Washoe, American Sign Language. The Koko Project involved teaching a gorilla named Koko to communicate using sign language as well. Koko learned over 1,000 signs and showed evidence of complex language use including displacement and meta-language.

The document summarizes several non-human communication projects including the Lana Project, the Washoe Project, and the Koko Project. In the Lana Project, the chimpanzee Lana was the first to communicate using lexigrams and could sequence words and make novel utterances. In the Washoe Project, the chimpanzee Washoe was the first non-human to learn American Sign Language. Koko the gorilla learned over 1,000 signs which she could combine in complex ways, demonstrating a developed degree of cognition.
Orgin of language
Human language originated from multiple sources according to the document. The Divine source theory suggests that language was originally given by God. Experiments by ancient kings isolating infants found they spontaneously spoke known languages. Natural sounds of animals and emotions may also have contributed words that imitate sounds. As humans lived in social groups, some communication was needed to coordinate tasks requiring physical effort. Physical adaptations like an upright posture and tools requiring hands freed speech to develop. The brain's lateralization for both language and tool use supported this. Finally, the genetic source hypothesis is that humans are born with the innate capacity for language due to pre-programmed language genes.
The passive
This document discusses the passive voice in English. It explains how to form the passive voice using different tenses and with different verbs. It provides examples of when to use the passive voice, such as when the subject is unknown or unimportant. It also discusses using the passive voice with verbs that take two objects and with infinitives and gerunds. Finally, it identifies errors in using the passive voice in sample sentences.
The story of the naked apes: What makes us unique?
1. Humans evolved from ancient hominins in Africa such as Ardipithecus ramidus that lived 4.3 million years ago. Key traits that emerged included bipedalism, larger brains, and precision grip.
2. Homo erectus that emerged 1.8 million years ago showed more advanced social behaviors and used sophisticated stone tools and fire. Homo sapiens emerged in Africa around 200,000 years ago.
3. Several traits make humans unique, including high-level abstract thinking enabled by large brains, advanced language abilities, cooperative social behaviors, and intricate tool-making skills. Many of these traits evolved through competition and natural selection.
FLA First Langugae Acquisition Theories
This document discusses several theories of language acquisition:
1. Behaviorism (Bloomfield, Skinner, Pavlov, Watson, Thorndike): Language is learned through conditioning and reinforcement from the environment. Behaviorists view language learning as habit formation through imitation and reinforcement.
2. Nativism (Chomsky, Lenneberg): Humans are born with an innate language acquisition device that allows them to rapidly and effortlessly acquire language according to a universal grammar. The environment plays a limited role.
3. Cognitivism (Piaget): Language is acquired through cognitive development in stages as children form mental representations (schemas) of the world and adapt them through assimilation and accommodation of new
Chapter 4, Lessons 1 2
The February 6th agenda included a vocabulary pre-test, lessons on adjectives and articles from the grammar chapter, spelling and vocabulary homework from Unit 11, and an assessment on Bridge to Terabithia due the following Wednesday. The first grammar lesson defined adjectives and discussed their use before and after nouns, while the second lesson defined articles and discussed using a, an, and the before nouns.
Biological Diversity
This document summarizes Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. It describes how Darwin began to question the prevailing ideas that species were fixed and the Earth was relatively young during his voyage on the HMS Beagle. Through his observations of organisms around the world, fossils, and influences from scientists like Lyell and Malthus, Darwin developed the theory that species evolve over time through natural selection, where individuals with traits best suited to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on their genes. The document outlines some of the evidence that has accumulated in support of evolution, including the fossil record, geographic distribution of species, homologous structures, similarities in development, and molecular biology.
Ch 14 lecture
This document provides an overview of the evolution of evolutionary thought over time. It discusses early ideas of fixism from Aristotle and Plato. It then outlines key developments including the exploration of new lands revealing diversity of life, early speculation that species change by Buffon and Lamarck's proposal of the inheritance of acquired characteristics. The document also discusses the importance of geology establishing an old Earth, fossil discoveries showing life has changed, and Darwin and Wallace's independent proposals of natural selection as the mechanism of evolution in 1858. Their theory was based on variation within populations and heritable differences influencing reproductive success.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
