Fieldwork portion attached: Language is boundlessly diverse and always changing, and to fully understand linguistics, we must move beyond theory and engage with individuals as they learn and use language. To this effect, you will be working with a student or second language learner. Through all of these elements, be sure to pay particular attention to language structure and acquisition. There are two main components of the Fieldwork Journal: (1) notes, and (2) reflection and analysis. During these hours of engagement, you should be taking detailed notes ( . In addition to your notes, you will include a reflection on your experience this week and/or analysis of the student or partner’s use of language and acquisition process. The primary writing portion of this assignment is a case study designed to provide the opportunity to apply your knowledge of language structure and acquisition in a hands-on context. When possible, analyze writing samples by your subject/partner, and potentially from his/her peers, to gather contextual information. -Phonology -Morphology -Semantics -First & Second Language Acquisition -Language Acquisition Theories/theorists such as: · Noam Chomsky · Structural Linguistics · Transformational/Generative Linguistics · Cognitive Linguistics · Prescriptive/Traditional Linguistics · The “universal grammar” · Behaviorism · Social Interactionism -storical linguistics ** is a SAMPLE case study from my teacher for reference of what should be included in the paper along with pics of textbook pages to use as a source for analysis AND my fieldwork observations (handwritten and typed)**
