January 11, 2021I need help with a paper on Language traits, phonology, semantics, and syntactics
I need a paper written and would like it to be about either the French language or the Spanish language please. No plagiarism, if I use parts of this paper, I need to be able to submit it to turnitin. Please let me know what language of the two you choose so I can start on the 2nd part of the assignment also. TIA
For this assignment, select a language other than your native cultural language. (This may mean a dialect commonly used by smaller groups of people and meanings may not be easily understood by others.) Research this language to learn more about its phonology, semantics, and syntactics. Write a short paper in which you address the following:
- Given the information you gathered, write a short summary of the language you chose. Provide examples for the traits of phonology, semantics, and syntactics.
- Explain what the selected language may suggest about the culture from which it originates. For example, the English language borrows extensively from other languages and tends to reflect the melting-pot nature of U. S. culture.
- Discuss communication issues that arise because of the differences in languages.
