I pick this article "Sling Slang Slung" because it remind me of the slang words I used to say. When I say them now the youngsters laugh at me because they do not understand what I am saying. When they say some slang words those are all new to me. I would like to learn more on why people like to speak in slang and not in the correct grammar. It is interesting on the words that are being used now is a little harder to know what they really mean.

Child Language Acquisition article is very interesting.
I found that Children use language in the same way regardless of what language they use. Children do not use language like adults, because they are not adults. Is good not to try to correct them because they will learn how to speak correctly on there own. when my little girl was little she used to say "its cold out there."
Children will use languages that are around them. They will speak like their parents and caregivers at first.  Then they learn from other children, I have notice that from my 4 year old nephew.

Vanishing Voices

After reading this article I understand why many languages get lost. English, Mandarin and Spanish are a few that will not be lost. So many people are learning these languages, just like in our class. This is why one language dies every 14 days, because communities favor other languages than their native language.

Is music a Language?

This article is about musicians that were used for a study to see if music is a language. I always thought music was a language, because you speak with instruments. That is like a form of communication to me. Only to know that in this article it tells us different. A team at Johns Hopkins University in one way, they found, music is exactly like language, but in another, its not similar at all. I was surprise that it was not at all a way of speaking. But at least it does have meaning.

I pick this article "Is it True That English Has the Most Words of Any Language?" after reading chapter 3 I wanted to know more about words. This is related to language by were the English words come from. What I found most interesting about this article was that their is no way to find out if English language has the most words. I agree with the article because their is noway someone could find out how many words their is in English. The reason I wanted to learn more on the topic was to see were I could find information on where words come from. My topic affects the world by giving readers information on how words become English language.

The reason I pick this article because I was looking for world language. In stead language tree pop out! It is related to language by the order of subject, object, and verb in different language. What I found most interesting that in some languages the subject, object and verb order can be (sov, svo, osv,ovs, vso, and vos) depends on the tongues of each language family. I agree with the article because now I understand why I used to say sentences wrong. I used to say paper toilet instead of toilet paper. I do want to learn more about the topic. It will help me in the long run on how to pronounce words in Spanish and English. The Language Tree affect the world on how every language subject, object and verb order is not the same.

I pick this article "Does Your Language Shape How You Think?" because the title got my attention. How is this article related to language, by the examples that the article gives on the different ways others speak. What I found most interesting was that English does oblige you to specify certain types of information that can be left to the context in other language. I agree with the article, because learning a second language I have notice the difference on how one speaks. The article had lost of information that it was enough to learn from that I do not need to research any further. My topic affect the world by how you think and how you speak, every language is different in its own way.
