Lesson 7: How Many Words Do Inuits Have for Snow? 

A. Do you have words from your own language that you think may be unique to your social grouping and its culture? 

This word does not belong to my current context but I will mention it. When I was younger I liked rock metal music and we used to use a word to describe people who wore certain clothes and style to make people think they were "metalheads" even though they were not, we called them "Fachos" .

B. Explain what they mean, and why you find them useful. 
This word was useful for social interactions since social groups were delimited according to musical knowledge. ]]> 2021-07-07 02:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/florencedeltoboso/dh0kvvy0v61um6re/wish/1639678328 florencedeltoboso https://padlet.com/florencedeltoboso/dh0kvvy0v61um6re/wish/1639686902 Classmates name: Erika Duran
Lesson 5: How Do Children Acquire Concepts? 

A. What experiences have you had of type-token mismatches, where someone else’s understanding of a concept hasn’t aligned with your own? 

When I was a teenager, I used to watch the TV show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire with my dad. From one of the programs a question came up regarding the term Latin root. I defended my position by saying that Spanish people did not have Latin roots since only people from South and Central America had them, while my dad insisted that every country whose native language is influenced by Latin in its origin has Latin roots. I finally thought I had won the argument but years later in college I realized that my dad was right. 


B. Was this a difficulty in communicating concepts across different languages, or in the same language? 
Yes, lack of knowledge of the meaning of a term can interfere with communication. 

C. How did you resolve this? What changed, and for whom? 
When I started college, I learned about Romance languages and I understood what my father told me at the time.

D. How is the ‘type-token relationship’ useful in helping us to communicate with each other? 
Symbols are usually similar in most cultures, so the token can help you communicate in another language even if you don't know the word that corresponds to it.]]> 2021-07-07 02:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/florencedeltoboso/dh0kvvy0v61um6re/wish/1639686902
