What I have studied is the field of linguistics and how it can be applied to everyday life. Applied linguistics entails fields of linguistics education, translation, speech therapy, discourse analysis, and more. In order to understand this field of study, I have to developed my discourse analysis skills, learned more about the brain\u2019s processing of language, worked on translation projects, examined the role of linguistics in the classroom, and found out more about the ways in which linguistic theory can be applied to real life situations. I have paid attention to linguistics processing in the brain and children\u2019s language acquisition, as these are relevant topics to the field of speech pathology. This major has incorporated courses from a variety of departments and programs, including Education, Norwegian, Linguistics, Spanish, and Psychology. This multidisciplinary combination of linguistic theory, education, foreign language, and science resulted in a deep dive into multiple sides of applied linguistics.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/Post-FRC-Individual-Major-Proposal.pdf” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”View my proposal” button_alignment=”right” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”14px” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”#d94144″ button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”0px” button_letter_spacing=”1px” button_font=”Work Sans|600|||||||” button_use_icon=”off” transform_translate=”40px|0px” custom_padding=”24px|24px|24px|24px|true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”#ea4646″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Scroll Call to Action” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#f3f1f2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ module_class=” et_pb_row_fullwidth” _builder_version=”4.16″ width=”94%” width_tablet=”80%” width_phone=”80%” width_last_edited=”on|desktop” max_width=”94%” max_width_tablet=”80%” max_width_phone=”80%” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” make_fullwidth=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_divider color=”#d94144″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”10px|||-1000px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The document linked below contains a comprehensive list of many of the sources I used to inform my study of applied linguistics, with an explanation of each.

This ultimately became very important, as it was a major inspiration for my final capstone project. Historical linguistics is very fascinating to me, as it tells us a lot about where our language is headed in the future. Courses that included linguistic history were Introduction to Germanic Linguistics, English Language and Linguistics, and the independent research courses involved in the Rand Scholar Award Project.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/courses\/lngst-250\/” button_text=”LNGST 250″ button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”rgba(224,43,32,0.68)” button_border_width=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/courses\/norw-260\/” button_text=”NORW 260″ button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”rgba(224,43,32,0.68)” button_border_width=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/rand-scholar-award-project\/” button_text=”Rand Scholar Award Project” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”rgba(224,43,32,0.68)” button_border_width=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Footer” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#f3f1f2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_divider color=”#d94144″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”10px|||-1000px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Applied LinguisticsDescription of Major What I have studied is the field of linguistics and how it can be applied to everyday life.

Guiding Questions<\/h2>\n
In order to complete my major, I had several guiding questions that informed my focus throughout earning my degree. Each question is accompanied by links to pages describing relevant courses. Some questions come from my original proposal, while others developed throughout the course of my study.<\/h3>\n
How do children develop, process, and produce language?<\/h3>\n
What are the causes for the impediments that children face in regards to language?<\/h3>\n
How does bilingualism play a role in language processing?<\/h3>\n
How does language influence society\u2019s perception of certain groups?<\/h3>\n
Why is linguistics important when examining human communication?<\/h3>\n
How can linguistic theory be applied to the classroom?<\/h3>\n
What can linguistic history tell us about modern language?<\/h3>\n
