It touches on a variety of subjects in linguistics theory, including, but not limited to, phonology, morphology, language acquisition, language variation, and phonetic transcription. This course provides the backbone of linguistic theory for my major.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_5  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Reading Presentations<\/h3>\n<p>These presentations were given to summarize assigned readings from our course textbooks.

For this assignment, I created a survey, partially inspired by the <em>New York Times<\/em> Dialect Quiz, asking questions about specific words subject to dialectal changes. I sent this survey out to the St. Olaf Extra email alias and received over 100 responses. I analyzed the language background of each respondent and identified how many of their responses aligned with the Southern U.S. dialect. A sample of the survey, filled out by me, is linked below, along with my presentation slides with my results.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_2_wrapper et_pb_button_alignment_center et_pb_module \">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"et_pb_button et_d4_element et_pb_button_2 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSdcKZ-J__-3MpHSnjLz7_IKbKhdEpnBZLO0k9V0wnpjBn95Wg\/viewform?usp=pp_url&#038;entry.366340186=Y&#039;all&#038;entry.1498810009=Soda&#038;entry.811214971=Tennis+shoes&#038;entry.620236004=Access+road&#038;entry.619196243=Water+fountain&#038;entry.2002198463=Tantrum&#038;entry.374631506=Casserole&#038;entry.1939935968=Garage+sale&#038;entry.517278354=Roly+poly&#038;entry.1875187251=%22a%22+like+in+%22cat%22&#038;entry.1214258888=18-25&#038;entry.1528833315=Female&#038;entry.1698514062=College+student&#038;entry.301402535=Texas&#038;entry.2098175819=I+was+born+in+Texas+and+lived+there+for+elementary+and+high+school,+and+then+lived+in+Norway+during+middle+school.+My+mom+grew+up+in+Ohio+and+Missouri,+and+my+dad+grew+up+in+Louisiana.&#038;entry.691990337=Native:+English,+learner:+Norwegian+and+Spanish&#038;entry.509914330=Bachelor&#039;s+degree\" target=\"_blank\">Sample Survey<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_3_wrapper et_pb_button_alignment_center et_pb_module \">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"et_pb_button et_d4_element et_pb_button_3 et_pb_bg_layout_light et_block_module\" href=\"https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/cis-hwhite\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1566\/2023\/05\/American-Dialects_-Examining-Southern-Speech.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Presentation<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_7  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Final Exam<\/h3>\n<p>The final exam consisted of multiple short-answer questions on a variety of linguistic topics, including theoretical approaches of different linguists, discourse analysis of a sample text, sociolinguistic applications, language acquisition, and bilingualism.
