Reflection Of Linguilogy: How Are Things Going?

Hello Ruslan,

How are things going?

How`s your day?

I am fine, enjoying my holidays. Probably, it`s the last summer when I don`t work. I graduate from university the next year and I have to work hard.

I am an «eternal student» because when I was 18, I entered the Medical academy (possibly, I told you about it, sorry, if I repeat), but everything was horrible at the institution. The academy was horribly corrupted, students received good marks only because of their money, many students were not of my social circle (I am from teachers` family, my father is a university teacher, my mother is a primary school teacher, and my grandma is a secondary school teacher). All the guys, who studied there, were so called «gilded youth», lazy and idle rich young people. I hated them and hated university teachers, because I crammed every day, I studied a lot, I was really a hard-working student, but they did not appreciate that. They needed money, they needed someone from movers and shakers of the world to give them excellent marks. I decided to drop out from the Academy, and about 3 years later I entered the Nizhny Novgorod State Linguistic University. Now I am doing my Bachelor degree. The specialization is called «Linguistics: The Theory and

I have a lot of happiest memories, but my happiest is when my family circle and I were celebrating New Year. It was in 1994. I was 4 years old. Everything around me was glittering, the New Year Tree was amazing, the diner was the most mouth-watering I have ever had. But all these things are trifles, because I am in love with this moment most of all my family members: my father, my mother, my grandmother, my uncle, and brother were with me. My parents were young, my brother was healthy, my grandma was alive. It`s so sad, because my grandmother passed way in 2014. I remember that holiday dinner in details, everything was awesome and spectacular. I was on cloud nine and I got asleep at my mum`s

    Home and Away: The Tensions of community, Literacy and identity In this well-constructed discourse, “Home and Away”, Brownyne Williams, emphasizes on how the discourses that we learn from our home and community shape us in into who we are as a person, how we view the world and how we approach different discourses including academic writings. Williams’s main purpose is to convey the idea that, how being brought up in a well-educated and scholarly family influenced his way of thinking and perceiving things, and what he eventually came out to be in his life. A successful college professor with a PhD. Williams begins with the introduction of his scholarly ancestry. He states, “I do come from a family of teachers – not just my parents, but many…

    I remember walking into the house my parents has recently bought and thinking I’m finally home. To my surprise my mom had made me Enchiladas Suizas. We prayed just as I was used to and we all thanked God for all the blessings in our lives. After a long time I finally had this sense of completion because the piece in my life that was missing to be completely happy was to be able to physically be with my parents. Another memory that I remember is when I was voted for captain on the Varsity team Lady Condors.…

    I know, it could have been so much worse, but believe me, it was. It was so much worse than my little two-year-old mind could have ever dreamed of. Like I said, I spent most of my time with my grandparents. Those times were so happy and joyful; I had all the toys I wanted, my Nana read to me constantly, and I was loved more than the entire world (plus I never fell down the stairs). My dad taught me putt-putt at three, and watched Animaniacs until I fell asleep every…

    Ever since Medieval scholars began studying different civilizations centuries ago, culture has been considered an elusive and controversial concept—while some believe that culture is carried with us, like an invisible charm, others believe that it exists in the air around us, living in the things we say and the foods we eat and the traditions we pass down to our children. Some even believe that it doesn’t exist at all, or that it has all melted together into one incomprehensible mass of beliefs and values shared among all of us. Anthropology exists to study and explain how and why culture exists. Additionally, it helps to explain how humankind has created cultures which are so diverse and rich in tradition, and yet still somehow are strikingly…

    Language is constantly changing and adapting to fit the need of the people who use it, as it is a vital part of human life. Growing up, language courses were never of any interest to me. I knew how to read, speak and write, so I saw no need to suffer through countless language classes. Only in recent years have I grown to like language. University has provided me with the push I have always truly needed to become fascinated with language.…

    Linguistics Self-Profile Step II Prior to taking English 370, I had never studied the English language in the way of linguistics. With this being said, I had little knowledge of how the language works and how I speak the language personally. Before this class and as a native speaker of the English language and growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I believed I spoke perfect American English with no accent. By taking this course, I learned many things about the language, but also myself of a speaker of it. Now I know that people in the Pacific Northwest do in fact have an accent, most noticeably with the pronunciation of “caught” and “cot” which sound the same to my ears, and there is no such thing as perfect English.…
