While discrimination and profiling within linguistics seem similar, there is a distinction between the two, and this is my reason for including this artifact. Discrimination is the negative effect of profiling. In class, we discussed what can happen when linguistic discrimination occurs. As seen in the John Bugh video, who coined the term “linguistic profiling”, how you “sound” has a lot to do with how people view you. The negative effects are seen and played a role how many are denied housing or employment based on stereotypes associated with dialect and or accent. Those who are proficient at sounding like the American standard of English are usually given more.

As we have progressed and changed through the decades, so has our language. The language used today is completely different from the ones used previously or historically, especially when discussing the context that certain language and terms are used in. Differences can cause confusion and for that reason we must acknowledge them. Language changes across space and social groups as well, along with its variation across time. While some things are borrowed from generations before us many terms lose their usefulness. For this reason, I chose to include this clip as an artifacts.

This clip also relates to the class discussion about language and culture. This video represents the inability of some to understand other dialects and how they may wrongly label them as a result. Dialect is regional, while language is distinguished by pronunciation, grammar, or vocabulary, it’s spoken in a specific place or by a specific group of people. Cultural misunderstanding can spiral false assumptions.

In relation to class it demonstrates how class impacts code-switching. Code-switching doesn't always have to deal with the changing of two languages as this video demonstrates. It occurs through the change of tone, dialect, and or voice in a particular setting. For this reason, I chose to include this artifact.

It allows us to advocate for things of our interest. It’s also used to determine one’s social position in society. Capital can occur linguistically or culturally, and for this reason, I chose to include this as an artifact. Cultural capital gives and promotes social mobility. During this course, we discussed how language and culture become obvious when people want and chose to advocate for their own political interest. When your role of capital is lower than other's, so it the power of your voice. Which is highlighted in this article.

Here in the U.S English speakers are usually more privileged in terms of language. Apart of American school culture is about testing, but for ELL this can be a challenge. As discussed in this course, Standardized test are very biased towards speakers of other languages or dialects, an even towards bilingual speakers. This being my reason for including this artifact. A biased standardized test can result in ELLs and minorities being overrepresented in special education programs. Standardized tests are not created to fit ELLs native background, and hardly ever seem to take into account that as students they are not only learning material and core standards but also trying to develop proficiency in the English language.

According to this article, there is a relation between children’s SES and what they’re able to produce in terms of words when compared amongst the different SES classes. I chose to include this artifact because it highlights how culture, SES, and language all intersect. In reference to this article, younger students who come from a higher SES family have a more expansive vocabulary than those who don’t.]]> 2017-12-05 05:53:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213155335 cdeire92 https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213268029 Technology has allowed for communication to happen so quickly and easily. Through technology, we're able to reach people from all other the world. This article was reviewed in class and demonstrates how technology and dialect can come together. In this article, Twitter is mentioned as being a way for how people study a language. From twitter you are able to see how people of different regions and ethnicities use and spell certain words. Internet dialect seems to be a form of language that has developed. For this reason, I included this article as an artifact.

Code-switching has many benefits. During this course, we’ve discussed “language disability or learning difference?” I chose to include this as an artifact because it represents how code-switching can be a positive thing for students and not a disability. Code-switching usually occurs when people want to fit in. It’s  a great tool that fosters convenience when trying to communicate because it makes words that are not available in some language better for expressing ideas. Code-switching also has the unique ability to allow you to match your language to the listener's ability to process, which makes it beneficial for the listener as well. Although code switching mainly occurs orally it can happen in writing as well.  For this reason, I chose to include this as an artifact. ]]> 2017-12-05 13:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213271695 cdeire92 https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213275608 Many people assume the ethnic backgrounds of others from their first “Hello” while on the telephone. This is a form of linguistic profiling and it often connected to linguistic discrimination. I chose to include this as an artifact because it represents an implication of language and dialect and how is play a role in linguistic profiling. It relates to class because it highlights how profiling occurs. Although the U.S has a wide range of both cultural and language diversity, there are still members of our society who hold more language security than others. Linguistic profiling has a deep connection to race and economic class. Your social characteristics are assumed based on various auditory cues and more specifically on dialect and accent. ]]> 2017-12-05 13:47:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213275608 cdeire92 https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213276661 The term “literacy” is usually associated with reading and writing, but it can be much more. Having the things such as ipads, laptops, and books into the classroom open up a new window for literacy. Language forms can be included in technology (digital literacy), this form of literacy expands the ability of its users. Students are able to grow in technical skills and cognitively. Language is not the only thing that is evolving but the way in which we can access material is rapidly evolving as well. Learning and literacy don't always have to come in the form of a book, paper, and pencil. This relates to our class because it shows how language forms can be included in technology. For this reason, I chose to include this artifact. ]]> 2017-12-05 13:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213276661 cdeire92 https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213278680  I chose this article because it demonstrates cultural perception and cultural interactions. This picture also connects to class when discussing what we perceive to be a cultural identification but it can easily fall under the category of assumptions. We perceive people to act or be a certain way based on their dressed or how they physically look. This pic also demonstrates just how important it is to understand or be informed of one's cultures before we began to make assumptions. For these reasons, I chose to include this artifact.]]> 2017-12-05 13:54:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213278680 cdeire92 https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213282746 Language contributes to the discussion of profiling, as a continuation I chose to add in this image. We've centered have centered a lot of our discussion this semester around language profiling. Pronunciation and dialect were heavily covered, as well as accents. The image shows the perception that many have of people from Southern states. The image can also connect to the conversation about who we speak or predicts others speak due to their region/geographic location. For this reason, I chose to add this artifact. ]]> 2017-12-05 14:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213282746 cdeire92 https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213287972 As a class, we’ve all shared, collaborated together, given personal/ideas on how reading, writing, listening and speaking help to develop language. We’ve been able to look at language implications, profiling, and discrimination, and capital plays a role in our language development. Moving forward as learners and individuals we are now able to see how we can help rid the bias and negative components that live within these four domains of language. We all have something to add to the conversation of language development, and for this reason, I’m choosing to add in the artifact.

In relation to class, we discussed accents and how they exist throughout the language. I interpreted this comic as showing how we may all speak English but sound different due to our accents. We all have accents, and there is someone that we all sound "different", appreciation and acceptance helps to rid the judgment that comes from having a different accent. For this reason, I chose to include this artifact. ]]> 2017-12-05 14:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213289746 cdeire92 https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213513077 Artifact description]]> 2017-12-05 21:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213513077 cdeire92 https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213515661 2017-12-05 21:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213515661 cdeire92 https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213515998 2017-12-05 21:23:30 UTC https://padlet.com/cdeire92/fu46c8o9rzb3/wish/213515998
