ASSIGNMENT : QUESTIONS OF THE FINAL TEST INTRODUCTION TO LINGUISTIC

Good evening, at this time i want to share about my questions of final test courses Intoduction of Linguistics by Mr.Budi Hamnudin. Mr. Budi giives 3 questions, I think it’s not too hard but im so nervous at that time though Mr.Budi seems happy but i don’t know my soul like stuck to answered that XD but i tried to calm for ansewed that. And I got not bad score i think XD So yeah, let’s discuss the question.

1.   Tell 3 names of the expert in your field and give the tittle of their research.

- - Elena Gavruseva from Georgetown University

   Research : "Syntactic frames and morphological cues in the acquisition of adjectives in child English and chilRussian." (In The Proceedings of the 33rd Annual Boston University Conference on Language Development (Eds. Jane Chandlee et al.), 187-198. Somerville, MA.).
- -Benjamin Bruening from University of Delaware

        Research : Phrases in passive and nominals “To appear in syntax”
you can see the research in this pdf : http://udel.edu/~bruening/Downloads/ByPhrase4.pdfyyou can see the research in this pdf : http://udel.edu/~bruening/Downloads/ByPhrase4.pdf

--Ken Hale from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Research : The basic elements of argument structure
y    you can see at this pdf : http://lingphil.mit.edu/papers/hale/papers/hale012.pdf
2.      What is the comprehend theory that influencing in your field and why must we learn it?

Aspect of theory syntax by Noam chomsky you can see in this pdf : https://faculty.georgetown.edu/irvinem/theory/Chomsky-Aspects-excerpt.pdf
and why sould we lean it because The study of syntax is about how the sentences of a particular language are structured. That it is fascinating being able to see how language works and what theories have been proposed to make it work.  I must admit that it is a challenging subject, but if you like a little bit of a challenge than I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I did. We must study syntax to understand how children acquire their language, how they start constructing sentences and what stage do they learn the tacit syntactic rules of the language. It’s also good to study syntax so we can understand how bilingual and multilingual speakers are able to construct their sentences despite having different structures for different languages. The sentence structure isn’t the same in English as it is in Japanese!

Studying syntax gives us many answers which are necessary for understanding how languages work, as well as being the doorway to future research and theories on all aspects of linguistics!
We also study syntax to develop set rules and constraints on the language. We call these parameters. These parameters limit what we can and can’t do in a language, helping us establish an effective and working communicative system. Some linguists believe that all languages have the same parameters. This idea is called universal grammar, and was a theory developed by Chomsky in the 1960s. From these ideas of linguistic parameters, we can learn, use and teach the correct way to make sentences. Basically, so we can all understand each other!

3.      Tell 1 an expert with 3 new research of him/her

I answered Elena Gavruseva with her research those are :
-(Under review) Revisiting the Modal Reference Effect in child first language acquisition
-(In progress) On the role of modality in the semantics of root infinitives in child L2 English (a version will be presented as a paper at the workshop on the "Expression of temporality by L2 learners of French and English), May 22-24, University of Montpellier, France
-(In progress) The semantics of definiteness and specificity in adult L2 English: the count/mass distinction (with graduate student Garrett Larson)

So, that’s all for the questions of my final test and this is also an assignment for Mr.Budi. Thankyou for read my page!
