Language & Ethnicity
The document discusses language and ethnicity. It defines ethnicity as being identified with a group descended from common ancestors who share cultural traits like language, religion, and dress. Ethnic varieties of English arise from the languages of immigrant groups and can influence mainstream English over time through the spread of lexical and grammatical features. The document asks questions about ethnic identity and the relationship between ethnicity and language, and provides examples of characteristics and influences on ethnic varieties of English in the US and expressions that have spread to mainstream English from ethnic varieties.
Language functions - alexis john b. benedicto
This document discusses language functions and forms. Language functions refer to the purposes of communication, such as comparing, persuading, asking questions. Forms are the grammatical structures and vocabulary used to support functions, including verbs, nouns, prepositions. Examples are provided of common language functions in both oral and academic writing contexts. Language functions and forms work together - learners must acquire both to improve proficiency. Teachers should understand the functional and structural demands of tasks to support students' language development.
Language planning
This document discusses language planning, which involves deliberate efforts to influence or change aspects of language use within a community. There are three main types of language planning: status planning determines a language's social functions and prestige; corpus planning focuses on structural changes through standardization and modernization; and acquisition planning aims to change how languages are learned. The goals and ideologies behind language planning vary but often include selecting an official language, developing writing systems, expanding vocabulary, and increasing a language's social domains and number of speakers. Effective language planning requires addressing issues of language rights and obtaining reliable linguistic data.
Hstorical Linguistics
- Historical linguistics studies how languages change over time, focusing on the connections between languages, their historical development, and how they evolve through cultural contact.
- Descriptive linguistics investigates the structure of language at a specific point in time without considering changes over time.
- There is an interdependence between the diachronic (historical) and synchronic (descriptive) approaches, as the current state of a language is influenced by its history and synchronic variations can lead to diachronic changes.
Origins of language and linguistics
This Powerpoint provides a short glimpse in these areas viz, language and linguistics origin and other relevant information.
Phonetic and phonology pp2
This document provides an overview of phonetics and phonology. It defines articulation as the movement of speech organs like the tongue, lips and jaw to produce sounds. Sounds are classified by their place and manner of articulation. It describes different types of articulation like bilabial, alveolar, velar. It also explains the International Phonetic Alphabet used to represent speech sounds and distinguishes between vowels, semivowels, consonants based on their articulation and acoustic patterns. The production of speech involves processes like initiation, phonation, oro-nasal and articulation using different speech organs.
Lexical variation
This document discusses lexical variation in language and how languages change over time. It provides an example of lexical variation, noting that it is using a linguistic element instead of another without changing the meaning. The document then discusses three main aspects of how language changes over time: vocabulary, sentence structure, and pronunciations. It provides an example of how the word "pea" developed a plural form over hundreds of years. The document also discusses regional dialects and differences in past tense formations between languages and dialects. It notes that linguistic changes occur when a new form used by a subgroup is adopted more widely as a norm.
Answer key sociolinguistic patterns
This document contains an answer key for a reading comprehension test on sociolinguistic patterns. The test covers topics such as lexical and phonological differences caused by social class, the effects of urbanization on language, and how standardization can promote inequality. It also asks test-takers to identify factors that influence language use, such as social context, relationship between participants, and purpose of communication. The answer key provides explanations of phonological and grammatical variables in English varieties and how external sociolinguistic patterns can shape a language. It concludes that standard languages arise through deliberate planning over long periods rather than natural linguistic evolution.

Games, books, and workbooks are also suggested to reinforce learning letter sounds and blending them to read simple words.
Language, society and culture
This document discusses the relationship between language and society. It explains that members of a social group use language in distinctive ways, developing shared rules, norms, and expectations. Sociolinguistics examines the connections between language and social factors like social class, education, age, gender, and ethnic background, which can influence social dialects. Additionally, an individual's idiolect, style, register, and use of jargon are shaped by social context and membership in different social groups. In summary, language is profoundly shaped by the societies and cultures that use it in various, complex ways.
Applied linguistics ppt
Applied linguistics is an interdisciplinary field that identifies and solves real-world language problems. It applies the knowledge of linguistics to improve practical tasks involving language. Some related fields are education, psychology, communication research, anthropology, and sociology.

Language Choice & Language Learning
The document discusses language choice and use of first language versus second language in the classroom. It explores why teachers and students use first language, including lack of competence, developing tasks, controlling discipline, giving feedback, explaining, translating, giving instructions, checking understanding, gaining attention, testing, and friendly talk. Code switching between first and second languages is common when students and teachers share the same mother tongue.
Language Change - Linguistics
This document discusses the causes of language change over time. There are three main causes: geographical separation, when dialects emerge as populations become isolated; borrowing, when languages adopt words and features from other languages they are exposed to; and internal change, which occurs naturally through processes like sound changes and shifts in meaning. Language also changes through social differentiation as groups adopt distinctive language varieties, and through natural processes that become conventionalized, like casual pronunciation changes.
Linguistics terms
This document provides an overview of key terms and concepts in linguistics. It discusses the main branches of phonetics including articulatory phonetics, acoustic phonetics, and language-specific phonetics. Phonology is introduced as the study of sound systems in language. Morphology and syntax are summarized as the study of morphemes and sentence structure, respectively. Semantics and pragmatics refer to the study of meaning and language use. The document also outlines the main schools of thought in formal linguistics, including traditional grammar, structural linguistics, and generative/transformational grammar developed by Noam Chomsky.
1683521640061_LanguagePlanningandPolicy.pptx
This document provides an overview of language planning and policy. It defines language planning as deliberate efforts to influence the structure, function, or acquisition of languages. Language planning can be undertaken by governments or other organizations and involves goals like standardization, modernization, or changing writing systems. The document also discusses the main dimensions of language planning, including corpus planning (structure), status planning (social function), acquisition planning (education), and prestige planning (image). It provides examples of language planning models and goals within each dimension.
Semantic and Pragmatic
Semantics refers to the literal meaning of language as found in dictionaries, while pragmatics considers the intended meaning based on context. Pragmatics studies how the meaning of an utterance depends on the physical, epistemic, linguistic, and social context rather than just the words themselves. It recognizes that the same words can communicate different meanings based on factors like tone of voice, facial expressions, prior discussions, and the relationship between the speaker and listener.
Linguistic varieties and multilingual nations ( Sociolinguistic )
This document discusses linguistic varieties and multilingual nations. It begins by noting over half the world's population is bilingual or multilingual, acquiring languages for different purposes. It then defines terms like vernacular, which refers to non-standardized first languages; standard languages, which are written and codified; lingua francas for communication between groups; pidgins which develop for communication without a shared language; and creoles which become primary languages. The document provides examples of these terms from Bali, and discusses factors in planning a national language like selection, codification, extending functions, and securing acceptance.
Lesson plan 1 1

Introduction to Soicolinguistics
The document discusses sociolinguistics and language variation. It defines sociolinguistics as the systematic study of language in society, focusing on how individuals and groups use language in social contexts. There are three main perspectives in sociolinguistics: geographic, examining regional dialects; anthropological, studying the relationship between language, culture and thought; and sociological, analyzing the link between social relations and language varieties. Speech communities are groups that share the same or similar language varieties. Varieties include dialects, sociolects, and idiolects, which differ by region, social class, gender, age, and ethnicity at the lexical, phonological and syntactic levels. Pidgins are simplified mixed languages for basic communication between
Language & culture
Sociolinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and society. Key aspects studied include languages in contact, language variation, and language and gender. [1] Language varies based on social factors like gender, age, social class, and ethnicity. [2] Men and women tend to use language differently, with women generally using more questions, self-disclosure, and minimal responses while men tend toward verbal aggression and changing conversation topics. [3] The study of language variation according to social factors provides insights into membership in social groups and cultural norms.
Lecture 1 2.pptx

Consonant g1a
This document outlines the consonant sounds of English, discussing their places and manners of articulation. It defines consonants as sounds produced with an obstruction of airflow from the lungs. It then describes the 8 places of articulation for English consonants: bilabial, labiodental, dental, alveolar, palato-alveolar, palatal, velar, and glottal. The document also discusses the 6 manners of articulation for English consonants: plosives, fricatives, affricates, nasals, laterals, and approximants. Tables provide an overview of the consonant phonemes in English organized by place and manner of articulation.
Phonology
This document discusses phonology and phonetics. Phonology is the study of sound patterns in language, while phonetics is the physical properties and production of speech sounds. A phoneme is a meaningful sound unit in a language, represented between slashes. An allophone is a phonetic realization of a phoneme. For example, the 'p' sound in 'paper' and 'spill' are allophones of the phoneme /p/ in English. Phonemes contrast meaning between words, like 'rowing' vs. 'mowing', while allophones do not change meaning. The minimal pairs test examines if two sounds can change the meaning of words when swapped, like "take" vs. "tape".

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

Common pronunciation errors native Yoruba and French speakers make in English
- 1. COMMON PRONUNCIATION ERRORS NATIVE YORUBA AND FRENCH SPEAKERS MAKE IN ENGLISH www.itenny.com
- 2. YORUBA Yoruba is one of the major languages in Nigeria. It is mostly spoken in the Southwest of Nigeria.
- 3. FRENCH French, it is a Romance language spoken in all the continents. However, it is more spoken in Europe, especially in France where it's the official language.
- 4. MAJOR DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN YORUBA AND FRENCH Yoruba is a tonal language where the meaning of a particular word changes according to the pitch of pronunciation. For example, in the words ọkó (hoe), ọkò (vehicle) and ọkọ (husband), it is the pitch of the voice that determines which one a speaker is referring to. French is a gendered language in which nouns are classified mainly into masculine and feminine: un livre (m), une salle (f), un stylo (m) etc.
- 5. T H R E E M A J O R P RO N U N C I A T I O N E R RO R S M A D E B Y YO RU B A A N D F R E N C H S P E A K E R S The consonant ‘h’ This sound is silent in Yoruba. Ex: ohun (voice), ahọn (tongue), ehoro (hare). Similarly, in French, a number of words are written with the letter ‘h’, but it is mostly silent. For instance, hier [jεR]— yesterday; réhabilitation [Reabilitasjɔ̃]– rehabilitation; habileté [abilete]— skill; habitant [abitɑ̃]—habitant. However, the ‘h’ sound is pronounced in English, except in words like hour, honour, honest etc. Due to the absence of “h” sound in Yoruba and French, the Native speakers tend not to pronounce the “h” of English words at all or ignore it when it is required and pronounce it when it's silent.
- 6. T H R E E M A J O R P RO N U N C I A T I O N E R RO R S M A D E B Y YO RU B A A N D F R E N C H S P E A K E R S The θ and ð sounds These consonants figure in words with ‘th’ in English. The Yoruba and French languages do not have these sounds and substitute with other consonants when pronouncing words like mother /'mʌðə/, thing/ /'θɪŋ/, smooth /'smu:ð/. French speakers substitute the sounds with “s” or “z”, while Yoruba speakers use “t” for θ and ‘d’ for “ð”.
- 7. T H R E E M A J O R P RO N U N C I A T I O N E R RO R S M A D E B Y YO RU B A A N D F R E N C H S P E A K E R S The “tʃ” sound This sound is represented by “ch” in English words and neither exist in Yoruba nor in French, making it difficult for the native speakers of these languages to pronounce English words like check/'tʃek/, chat/'tʃæt/, teacher /'ti:tʃə/ The sound is rather substituted with ʃ (sh) by these speakers.
- 8. CONCLUSION Many Yoruba and French native speakers of English do not or no longer make these pronunciation errors when they speak. It is possible to overcome these problems through a conscious effort. Bibliography Cambridge Dictionary Online: English Dictionary and Thesaurus - http://dictionary.cambridge.org/
