Outline of the Paper: Your paper must include all four of the following sections (in underlined bold below). The title and orders of the sections in your paper should be exactly as they are shown below.

Syntax/Morphology: Select one point of grammar for comparison. This could either be a point of:

Syntax, e.g. order of words in a sentence, order of elements in the NP, use of endings that mark words for whether they are subject or object, etc.

Word formation, e.g. inflection of verbs, marking words for gender agreement, formation of compound words, etc.

The grammar description need not be technical, but you should use terminology and concepts introduced during the lectures on Syntax and Morphology. Describe the way the two languages mark a comparable structure, e.g. how each language marks past tense, what the order of a noun and its modifiers are in each of the languages, etc. Be sure to include examples from both languages to support all claims that you make about similarities and differences.

Language and thought: Find an example of how the two languages express thoughts differently such that a Whorfian view would argue that the languages CAUSE their speakers to think differently. Some types of examples you might use are:

One language has several words to express what the other language expresses with one word, e.g. wear (could have different words depending on the article of clothing), break (could have different words depending on type of thing broken), snow (may be expressed with different words depending on quality of the snow), color words may break the spectrum up in different ways in the two languages, etc.

One language may require different forms of words when addressing older people from the forms used when addressing friends of the same age.

Explain how your data provides confirmatory or disconfirmatory evidence for Linguistic Determinism. Make sure that you clearly state what Linguistic Determinism is and what predictions it makes with respect to your data.

Acquisition: Compare the way you think in the two languages as related to the way you learned them and the contexts where you use them. For example:

You create utterances spontaneously in your native language because you learned it through the normal process of language acquisition, but you speak Spanish slowly and falteringly because you put sentences together using grammar rules you memorized in school.

You speak English with an accent and/or make grammatical errors in English because you learned it after the critical age, yet you find it easier to discuss technical subjects in English than in your home language because you use the latter only in everyday domestic contexts.

Give at least one concrete example of an error you have made or an idea you have had trouble expressing in your non-native language.

Profane and Abusive Language: Consider profane/abusive words and expressions in your native language. In this section, you will cover three things. First, discuss which categories profane/abusive words/expressions are drawn from (sex? body functions?, etc.) and provide some examples that support your claims. You dont have to be exhaustive. Make sure that you mention the level of strength of the profanity/abuse terms. Second, discuss whether this is expected or not given cross-linguistic tendencies in inventories of profanity. Third, discuss the use of these words/expressions. Are some of them used only by men or only by women? Or only by older people or younger people? Or are they used by people from region x, etc.

Length and form: The paper should be 4-6 pages(make it 6 pages), double-spaced, and in 12-point type with 1 inch margins. You will not need a bibliography other than listing a language text(book) you may have consulted, as mentioned just above. Your paper is to be submitted to TurnItIn through the Bruin Learn course website.
